In all of this work. no matter
where or what it may be. the motor
car and the wonderful Industrial or
ganization to which 1t owes its rapid
development will play an important
part. When the United States enter
ed the world war the automobile in
dustry was the third largest in the

coming of war this huge organization

try served in the war for world de-
business could serve.
And now that the armistice is
signed and peace Is at hand you will
find the automobile industry up in
the front of any and all movements
which tend for the stabilizing of con-
ditions growing out of the Interrupt
tions to commerce and industry
caused by the European conflict. Dur
ing the period of reconstruction
which is vitally as important to pro-
ducer and consumer alike as was the
war time motor car manufacturer
will be found leading the work which
will bring to this country greater
prosperity than it ever heretofore
has known, and this prosperity which
will come through and out of the re-
constructive era will not be of the
fly by night kind, but instead per-
manently profitable. America will be
supplying the markets of the world
with raw materials and manufactur-
ed goods as well. This means that
more money will be in circulation
than before-even than during the
war period. So where are the pessi-
mists warranted in crying wolf"
and telling us to watch out for the
business breakers ahead?
Much Is heard right now OF prices
and price reduction. This is a prob
lem which time alone will solve. But
from the present outlook the present
scale of prices must be maintained
for a long time to come. The basis
of all prices the world over is gauged
by the products Of the soil. Just so
long as high prices for foodstuffs are
kept UP by the demand. high prices
will be the rule rather than the ex-
cepron. America must feed practic-
ally all of starving Europe so it looks
as though there would be a good,
healthy demand for the crops from
American farmers for long time to

come. The reflection Of this Is found
in the motor car business. The prices
at which automobiles are selling at
present must be maintained. There
can be no appreciable reduction on
the part of reliable manufacturers.
because any substantial reduction
would mean loss. Many rumors are
floating around concerning the reduc-
tion in motor car prices. Any relt-
able manufacturer will tell you that
there is not any likelihood of a re-
duction from present prices for a
long time to come. This is due not
only to the extremely high cost of
labor, but also to the demand for ma
terials, causing its cost to remain
high, and the necessarily limited
production of cars. Right here it
might be we'll to say that the output
of motor cars. restricted as it will be
by the problems arising out of the
work of reconstruction, will not come
anywhere near meeting the demand.
So If you are figuring on a new car
this spring you had better get your
order in early
One thing we will find during the
months ahead of us is that the man
ufactured car is going to supplant
the assembled car in popularity. The
buyer in these new times. upon which
we are just entering. is going to IA
vor the motor car which is built
throughout from motor to rear axle
in the one plant. Thus are the prob
lens of service from the owners
standpoint reduced to a minimum as
he only has the one company to deal
with.
Another thing automobiles will be
bought more than ever before by di-
rect comparison and on tested merit
Each car, to put it in the words OF
an old saw, will stand on it's own
bottom. The value of a car will be
determined by it's own merit-merits
that can actually be shown that it
possesses.

Inspection ard Care Of
Brakes Important Factor

Every Indication points to q very
material increase in the number of
cars which will be used during the
coming year, .
This great increase in the use of
our highways" will bring with it
added danger, not only to the auto
mobile owner but to the pedestrian.
Every few days there appears in the
daily press a criticism or sugges-
ton from the judge of some court to
the effect that legislative bodies must
restrict the use of cars and must
make our highways safe.
One of the elements which will
contribute more toward the safety
of the automobile in use than almost
anything else that can be done
would be a careful and systematic
inspection and care of the brakes.
Few owners realize that they have a
brake on their car until the moment
iof danger. and then, perhaps the
brake does not respond. =
IF the car owner would become
familiar with his own brakes and
would see to 1t that they are proper
~ adjusted and properly lined, many
automobile accidents would never
| occur. 1t may be of interest to
quote from pamphlet which the
Standard Woven Fabric Company is
distributing, entitled "A Few Sug-
gestions For Safe Driving" that
portion which deals with the test
ing of the car, which reads as fol-
| lows:
"Pick' out n level piece of dry
gravel road. Drive at speed of
thirty miles per hour. Apply the
service brake with full pressure,
noting the point at which YOU
started the pressure by some tree or
post. When the car comes to a
1 dead stop, measure the distance it
has travelled. 1t should be no more
than thirty feet. Try the same test
again, this time using both service
and emergency brakes. The dis
tance travelled should be no more
than twenty feet. To realize what
this means, consider that the ordi-
iary sized four or light six is about
twelve feet long over all. A normal
quick stop should, therefore, be
made in three car lengths an emer-
gency stop in less than two. And
it is not enough for the car to be
able to stop in this pGce when pur-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-03-15

chased. 1t must remain able to do
it. The number of cars which have
seen a few months of service and
whose brakes are-below normal ef-
fectiveness is alarming. Speed linn
its have been a failure in preventing
motor accidents, and the reason is
plain. The danger of a carelessly
or ihcompetently operated motor
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-03-15

car is not in the speed at which it
is run, but the distance required to
ring it to a stop. A car with inef-
fective brakes is more dangerous at
ten miles per hour than one in prop
er condition at forty miles an hour.
1t is not too radical prediction to
say that in few years municipal
If not state authorities will require
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-03-15

frequent brake tests which must
meet certain rigid requirements be-
fore any car will be licensed to use
the city streets and public highways
1t will be great thing for the
cause of public safety when that
day comes. If a car owner does not
act, legislatures will. "a stitch in
time saves nine"
