DETROIT SWAMPED WITH
\ FINISHED MOTOR CARS
Railroads Congested, Breweries and
Baseball Parks are Turned
Into Auto warehouses"

There exists in the city OF Detroit
a remarkable condition. for which
there. seems to be no immediate re-
lief in sight. This. the queen auto
city of the world. Is absolutely flood
ed with finished motor vehicles, every
available space obtainable being util-
lied. Abandoned breweries have been
turned into auto warehouses: baseball
parks have been used, all this not
withstanding there are at least 1000
cars a day being driven away to va
rious parts of the country over the
highways.
Never in the history of the industry
has there been such an enormous
number of 'drive-aways." The rea-
son for this congestion in Detroit is
due to the utter breakdown of the
railroads in their attempt to handle
the output of the big factories. This
fact, coupled with the inability of
many factories to keep up with the
demand. has brought about an acute
shortage in cars for delivery.
1t is interesting to look back over
the past year and note the many
vicissitudes that the auto industry
The Washington times., 1920-03-20

has passed through. Readjustment and
rehabilitation after the war. labor
troubles within and without. acute
freight car shortage. have all been
met and partially overeomo:' and Just

In some parts. Of the country at this
season OF the year this js. not q. Sc :
rious factor, but to the majority of
points to which cars are destined the
conditions existing on the highways
have proved serious handicap. Good
roads in the United States are in the
minority. II this wePe not so. 'Idrive-
Always" would prove a benefit rather
than detriment as II IL IA well
known fact that car Is improved II
II has had from four TO five hundred
miles use before delivered to the
buyer. II requires several hundred
miles of actual road running to put
an engine into trim so that the parts
work smoothly and the gears inter
mesh wath the least amount of fric-
ton. In other words. this preliminary
road test puts the motor in tune.
when can Detroit expect relief from
the present congested transportation
facilities? There is certainly none in
sight now.

AMERICA HAS MARKET
FOR z MILLION MACHINES
Reduced Output of Motor Cars Dur
ing War Has Not Been Made
Up, Citizens Says.

Because OF the reduced output OF
automobiles during the war II has
been estimated by men who have
canvassed the country's car situation
that there is Immediate market in
America for 2,ooO.O0o to 100000
automobiles" says Herbert Citizens,
general sales manager OF the Federal
Rubber Company.
During the war American people,
out of necessity and for patriotic rea-
sons. curbed the satisfaction OF their
needs as we'll as their pleasures TO
the very minimum. With the sudden
ending OF the war came relief from
this situation.
The truth OF this is seen in the
record breaking travel throughout
the country. Railroads and inter
urbans are crowded to the very limit
at all times. You cannot enter a rail-
road station or a railroad train that
you do not appreciate the truth OF
this. statement. Hotels, too. are SO
crowded that in many cases IL liz
necessary to make reservations three
and four and even more days ahead
IL you expect to get a room.
That means that the people have
the money to spend. Wages, probably
have never been so high. A certain
spirit OF thrift was made not only
absolutely necessary during the war,
The Washington times., 1920-03-20

but It has continued TO some extent
since.
Yellowstone Park and some OF the
great resorts report that business
last'gummer was unparalleled. Much
OF this tourist business came by way
OF the automobile route. In other
words, after long months of sAcrl-
Ace. the people are spending money
freely for the pleasures and. in some
cases, actual necessities they have
been denied. Tire companies are
bound TO share in this prosperity.
THE Federal Rubber Company in
1918 produced 100000 tires despite
the part II played in the production
OF war materials. The 1910 output
VIII be considerably larger,
"rhe 1920 outlook gives promise of
the greatest production in the his.
tory OF the company. But even At
that we do not expect to be able
to meet the demand for Federal tires,
which has already grown to such an
extent that the big plants are oper-
ating practically at capacity all OF
the time"

PROTECT THE MUDGUARDS,

IT is easy 10 scratch and smear the
front mudguards with grease when
doing work on the engine, and the
motorist would do well TO follow the
example OF the best garages in pro-
tecting these at times of engine re-
pair. Secure a heavy piece OF cloth
or other suitable material-oil cloth
or imitation lcather-large enough
to completely cover the fender from
tip to the point where 1t attaches to
the running board. Throw this pro-
tective cover over the mudguard when
making repairs or adjustments 'un-
der the hood and you will keep the
enamel in much better condition

This, indeed, was No other than one
where nothing was served except

sust the other day / was called
