Short of Cars
Right Now, Is
Woods's Report
So Peerless Distributor Is in
Two Minds About Show.
Which He Knows Well
Will Produce Inquiries

Walter A. Woods, vice president and
general manager of the Van Cortlandt
Vehicle Corporation, distributors Of
the Peerless, is probably the most un-
happy optimist on the New York Show
Committee. Mr. Woods would not rest
until he saw the New York show was
assured, believing that it was neces-
sary for the trade and that the public
demanded it. But while he was fussing
and hustling to wake up the show
spirit in some OF his fellow distribu-
ters the Peerless factory notified him
that he had overrun his allotment OF
cars for the first three months Of the
year.
"Now," he says, 81 am in fine mix
up. Business prospects in this house
were neve better, and know the SHOW
is going to stir up more buyers for
all the leading cars 1t is useless to
tell the public that there is going to
be a shortage Of cars. Everybody
knows there will not be shortage in
the long run, but the message we are
trying to convey to our customers is
that we are short of cars now. They
into the showroom ready to buy and
learn that we cannot promise to de-
liver any more cars within three
months. Then they say, why didn't
you notify us before?" and we say,
we didn't know it and didn't believe
it until we went to the factory, lust
as you have come to US, and found out
the truth
"People do not realize, at least in
our case, how completely our factory
was tied up with war work from the
very start. Long before this country
entered the war all the Peerless trucks
and passenger cars were being, taken
by the European governments. Later
our government stopped our export
business and took our entire product.
1--WE thought that the moment the
war was over the Peerless factory
would begin to ship US both cars and
trucks in large quantities. When they
failed to come through I went to the
factory and to my amaZement found
that the orders of all Peerless dlstri-
buffers were being trimmed to the bone
"After l found out that every Peer
less distributor in the country had
been there ahead of me and put up
the same arguments l returned, and
We have been compelled to make the
hest of our limited allotment. How
long this shortage is going to last
cannot find out. I do know, however,
that the price is going to be main
taincd. This does not worry me in the
least, because our customers are ready
to-day to pay premiums for cars rath-
er than wait longer.
"No automobile maker can reduce
his price in the face of the present la
bor and material market. 1t does not
require any statement from an auto
mobile distributor to convince the pun
lie that the labor situation is not go
ns to brighten up for the employer. 1t
is going to get worse, and the best we
can do is to hope that it does not grow
very much more serious than it is now.
"The short Of it is we are not going
to be- short of cars. We are already
short and have not the slightest idea
when we can catch UP on orders. New
erthcless we arc smiling and propose
to keep happy. The present is not en-
couraging in our case, but we can see
ahead more business than we ever
dreamed of before."

More PLANES Than Did
German Aircraft Attacks:
Success of the AC Plug

For part so small, the spark plug
was most vital factor in aerial was-

months of Homeric fighting overseas
None recognized this fact so we'll az

land and Italy and the American
engineers who were responsible for
the creation Of the Liberty motor
They knew that faulty spark plugs had
brought down more Allied planes and
Allied aviators than German guns
The aviation records are replete with
flights that ended disastrously because
of ignition trouble.
There was Marchand. the French
aviator, for example, who attemnted
to fly from France to Russia. He
reached his bombing" objective.
cropping load of propaganda circu-
age nc might have done had he
dropped TINT instead. But Marchand
never reached the Russian frontier.
Defective spark plugs forced him to
make a landing in German TERRITORY
and he was captured.
Marchand's experience is only one
OF many instances where faulty spark
plugs turned what promised to be an
achievement into a failure
Plugs for Liberty Motor
In designing the Liberty motor the
American engineers were determined
to overcome this costly and serious de-
feet. They called upon the spark plug
manufacturers of the United States to
supply them with a plug that would
stand up on this high speed, high com
preston engine. The compression on
the Liberty motor is about 1876 pounds
to the square inch or approXima ately
twice as high as the compression Of
the average automobile engine.
In submitting plug for the Liberty
aviation motor the makers of the
&C offered a plug of the same basic
design as that which they build for
automobiles and motor trucks. To
the amazement of the members of the
French. English and Italian aviation
commission, a Liberty engine, AC-
equipped, ran for fifty hours on the
first official test without change of
spark plugs.
In dynamometer tests abroad, all the
plugs Of foreign manufacturers had
been required to run an aviation
engine for the same length of time
Consequently, the record of the AC
was nothing short of a revelation to
the Allied aviation commission.
This and other tests. conducted by
the commission and American engi-
neers demonstrated the dependability
of the AC spark plug, with the result
that AC's were adopted as standard
equipment on all Liberty and Hispano-
Suiza aviation engines.

Owner List of
Mar1nOn Makes
Brilliant Roll
Governments and Individ-
ua]s Have Become Users
Of Car of Advanced Engi-
neering in Great Numbe
By T. B. VAN ALSTYNE

President Mdrmon Automobile Com
pdny of Neao York
In the three years since the Marmon
Thirty-four brought to automobile buy-
ers completely new standard of scien-
titic construction it has gained fur
ther distinction by the character of it's
owners. No car, regardless of price,
has more brilliant roster of its sales,
which includes men prominent in bust
ness and financial circles, distinguish
ed army commanders, journalists,
public officials, favorite stars of the
theatre, the opera and the screen, the
french government, the United States
navy, professional leaders and an un-
usual number of engineers and of lead
ers IN the motor car industry, men
who know materials and construction
Most motorists know that the hol-
low crankshaft oiling system used in
nearly all foreign makes Of cars and
by many of the most expensive Amer
lean cars was introduced by Marmon
In 1902. Many observe that the very
progressive advancements represented
in the present Marmon model, which
have proved so successful with more
than 10000 owners, are shaping the
practices of motor car designers and
builders.
The Marmon Thirty-four introduced
the extensive use of aluminium in mo-
tor car building, reducing weight. A
new frame design that eliminates many
useless parts further reduced weight
and helped to make the Marmon 100
pounds lighter than cars Of compara-
BILE size, power and speed. Improved
rear spring construction and a new
standard for balance brought unex-
celled riding qualities.
The combination of these qualities
gives economy in Marmon operation
from twelve to fourteen miles to a
gallon of gas asolene-meaning wide
touring range-and 50 per cent more
big, powerful cars, resulting in the
most pleasing freedom from premature
tire troubles.

dealers will have demonstrated their
remarkable organizing ability and com :
mercial instinct They knew the public
wanted the shows and their Judgment
will be vindicated.
Why do people crowd the Chicago
and New York shows each year in ever
increasing numbers, paying for the
privilege, when they could see the same
cars in showrooms without expense
and in more leisure and comfort
What accounts for the great success
of the annual shows in the lesser cities
and towns each succeeding year? The
answer is that the automobile is the
worlds darling." Nothing in the his
tory of industry since the world began,
excepting articles OF food and clothing,
has approached the universal popular
lty of the automobile, and of nothing
else can it be said that the desire Of
possession is universal.
When Do We Buy?
The sensation and keen enjoyment
of one automobile ride gets into the
blood, with the result that every man
wants one, whatever his vocation, color
or creed. Women and children are
likewise infected with the germ Of this
desire. So everybody's question is,
throughout the world, "When can | buy
carr" and when that happy day
arrives, "What car shall buy 2" Hence
neither manufacturers of automobiles
nor their dealers ever spend time per-
suading a prospect that he needs an
automobile. He admits it, and their
only effort therefore is to convince him
he needs their particular make of car.
This is the only rub
Can so much be said about any other
manufactured product Of the day, barr
ing articles of food and clothing? If
this is fact does it not seem that
the potential customers for automo-
biles are greater than for any other
manufactured product? If this be ad-
mitted who can be pessimistic about
industry, which in organization and
capacity far outranks similar indus
tries Of all the countries of the world ?
Great improvements have been made
IN the design, construction and durabil-
lty OF American machines which in
crease their average life and good cars
now last five years without rebuilding.
There arc at present 100000 cars in
use III the United States, and on this
basis 100000 cars per annum will be
required for replacements, which, with
normal new business in both domestic
and foreign fields. assures prosperity
to cur manufacturers for years to
come.
In conclusion, it would seem that
the predominant position Of the Amer
lean industry, universal desire for
automobiles and the comparative short
life Give years. of machines render
such a thing as the "saturation point
out of the question. The use of pass
enger cars for business purposes and
the relegation of the horse to farm
and rural uses means ever increasing
use of automobiles, and in six or seven
years there will probably be 10, 900 900
owned in this country alone. and per-
haps 100000 in the rest of the world
a total Of 100000 as against approx;,
mately 6,0OO,O 900 TODAY. va

URGES THAT HORSES BE
PROPERLY HARNESSED

Attention to the proper adjustment
of harness according to member of
the Washington Humane Society, will
save much needless work, waste of
time and suffering on the part of
horses.
Use of breast collars on all horses
worked singlT is urged, the same kind
of harness being used on horses with
sore necks. This style of collar is
cool, light and comforta BILE: it saves
time and work in Harvesting horses
and is fully as effective in pulling
loads as are the much heavier and
hotter round -the-neck collars with
their iron names.
Drivers and owners also are urged
to see that breeching and holdback
straps are properly adjusted, so that
in backing the horse or team may get
their weight into the harness and
handle loads with greater ease. Loose
breeching and holdback straps. the
Humane Society worker says, cause
the full weight of the load to fall on
the animals neck, causing bruises
and sores, and also making it impos-
sible for teams to back a load with
out injury to the horses.
Attention to these details the work
says. will obviate much useless
suffering, make the work easier pre-
vent sore necks and withers, save
time~and reduce costs of teaming
