WHY 1919 OUGHT TO
Be Big MOTOR YEAR
General Manager of American
Motors Corporation Explains
Chief Reasons.
Nv LESLIE r. SMITH,
General Sales Manager AmeTtcon Mofo

General Sales Mdnaoer American Motor
Corporation.
Never in the history OF the world has
the limited States been in possession Of
as much money and tremendous crops
as at the present time. 1t Is going TO
he a wonderful year for the sale OF
automobiles.
To illustrate what mean we Will
take for example the State of Illinois.
During the past year her farm lines
Welded an output which Including her
grain and live stock reached the value
OF $4,000, 900. Her farms could WITH
In a single year buy and pay for all the
railroads In the State and have con-
adorable balance left in the bank. or
their income is a sum equivalent to
more than twenty times the total capl-
talization of all the banks In that state.
In the state of Ohio alone estimates
of<Inost excellent authorities state that
there will be purchased during the 1918
season in excess of $1,000 new cars
In Kansas the wheat crop will reach
the magnificent total OF 2OO,OoO.oOO
bushels this year. Figured at "
busliel 1t Is worth s4uv,VOO,OVO, an
crop of 1900, which was bumper crop
for the entire South.
Other countries were feeding cash 70
the United States tremendously. In 19l2
the United States exported chemicals
TO the value Of s27,ooo,Ooo. In 1918 the
total amounted to s175,O00,00O. In 1914
the United States exported dye stuffs 70
the value Of 100000. as compared with
$17,000,0o0 in 1918.
1t is interesting to note that the
United States sells to China Sc per cent.
of all the motor cars imported.
As a net result this country's stock
of money of all sorts on January !.
1919, was nearly $4,000, 100000. an in
crease of over s1.50o,O0o.ooO within one
year.
with this enormous increase in cash
return and cash on hand the automo-
mile manufacturer is more optimistic
than ever before because thousands and
thousands of dollars are now in the
hands Of the people who have never be-
fore been in position to buy motor
cars and furthermore. people who fol
the past two years have as result OF
the war been driving their old carr
will now purchase new ones.

GOODYEAR TIRES WON.
Used on Packard Special That
Broke Worlds Records.

The establishment of eight new
worlds records by Ralph De Palma in
Packard special driven by a Packard
aviation motor was a great victory for
Goodyear straight side or mo hook
tires as well, for De Palma's big racer
was equipped on all four wheels with
these tires.
Few persons except those direetly
concerned with tire performance really
appreciate the terrible gruelling a tire
must withstand at speed of $50 miles
an hour. To cover a mile in 24.02 sec
onds DE Palmas tires were revolving at
the rate of 1900 times a minute, or
twenty-five times every second.
This is in excess of the rapidity with
which the fastest machine guns were
operated during the war.

B. f. Goodrich Rubber Co. Of

Is Imperative.

President Wilson's declaration that

optimistic stimulant given the campaign
for the Improvement of our national

Highways Industries Association.
at was his first committal on this
subject since the start Of the war"
continued Rutherford. Friends of the
movement were elated when he incor-
porated in his last message to Congress {:
What the country badly needs is that
its means OF transportation should be
developed, its railways. It's waterways,
its highways and its countrywide roads
National Sentiment Focused.
"of almost equal moment is the action
taken at the recent highway convention
in Chicago. The Presidents point of
view was emphasized and approved at a
Joint meeting of the Highways Indus
tries Association, the State Highway Of
tcials' Association, the Highways
Transport Committee, the National Au-
tomoble Chamber of Commerce. the
American Automobile Association and
the Lincoln and Dixie Highway Associ-
atoms. Among the delegates were high
way officials from forty-four States.
National sentiment in favor of an
adequate highway system was never
moro graphically brought to light than
at the Chicago gathering" declared
Rutherford. with perfect accord the
convention resolved that the following
main points should be embodied in bill
to be put before the present short term
OF Congress for passage.
-. That a Federal Highways Com
mission be appointed to plan, maintain
and construct a national system of high
ways.
80. That the mileage Of highways "a
be taken over in any given State should
not amount to over per cent. of the
total mileage of the roads of that State
20. That ii thorough survey and \ nal
ysis of the transportation requirement.
Of the nation and its highway traffic
should be compiled.
~. That an appropriation should be
made by the Federal Government OF
800 100000 per year for carrying on
this work.

mission shall take over the work OF the

A meeting of professional and business

Dr. Moves said that one Of the most

of Alabama did not take pride in the
fact that their state stood third in Hitter

she felt a sense of shame for this Hitter
acy she would feel a deeper shame did
the women of Alabama fail to support
the Federation of Business and Profess

movement was the most important TO

Lyon ad DR.. Moves both rank high in
their profession, and are agreed in their
phases of the work which the federation
of business and professional women would
accomplish, would be in its protection of
the young girl in her interests.
DR.. Noyes said: I'VE women who meet
professionally the young girl who has
made one false step, know that that girl
is not necessarily bad girl. One OF the
wonderful things that the federation ef
professional and business women would
do. would be to give their aid to the
young girls of this country, who need that
aid. Through the strength, grace and
wisdom engendered by a federation of
women whose standards are high and
whose aims are for betterment. help

so sorely need the help of older women
DIR. Moves, in discussion of the mo-
tives of the federation of women's clubs.
and the work it is designed to do. said:
II believe that the time has come for
the women of this country to realize
their responsibilities In many ways. not
