of the railroad men and the present de- mands upon the already overburdened railroads, only served to emphasize tht absolute need of the automobile.
 These situations, which have con fronted us, served more than anything else that has occurred to prove beyond question, to those who think that the automobile is no longer a pleasure vehicle These tests proved in a gen eral way what carefully prepared sur veys now show to be a fact that the automobile during the greater part of it's time is an instrument of business with the great majority of car buyers
 One New York banking firm regent lv analysed sales of motor cars to 9,S6S buyers. or sufficient number to il lustrate the exact conditions among the 7,750.OO0 owners of automobiles in 1920.
 In the 9,S6S sales analysed it was clearly shown that to seventy per cent of the buyers the automobile is a busi- ness necessity And all of these 9.S6S buyers were purchasing their automo piles on time payments. Of the remain ing thirty per cent only a few cars are used exclusively for pleasure, the re mainder being used at least part of the time for business. My study of con ditions convinces me that al least ninety per cent of all automobiles in use at least part of the time for strictly business purposes.

FLAP IS IMPORTANT
 ACCESSORY TO TIRE

The flap is an important yet little considered accessory in the Automobile tire. As a protector between tube and rim, it is vital to the long life of the tube. It prevents deterioration from the rust that invariably gathers>on the rim. It prevents the tube from pinching between the edges of the tire.
 Ordinarily, flap is made of from three to four plies of fabric. It is constructed to conform to the shape of the tire. Inserted it should lay perfectly straight between the S be and rim without buckling.
 The long notch at the end of the flap should lay on top or next to the rim. in order to prevent the tube creep ing up and being pinched between the long groove. The end with the round hole. where the valve stem fits should lie next to the tube, according to Miller tire men.
 If the far ts trifie too short, , is better to ouy a new one rather than to risk sitting the holes to lengthen 1t. In cases of emergency, it is bet ter to slit the long notch rather than the short one. The cut, however, must never be so long that the edges of the flap do not come together.
 If the flap is too short, it works down, Gftentimes to the side- wall of the casing. Here it cuts the fabric like knife. When it is corroded from rim rust and the edges get ragged from wear. there is danger of pinching the tube and thus running it.
 The motoriSt should examine the flap at each tire change. If he fails to take care of this necessary accessory, he has only himself to blame when his tube goes flat. Oftentimes the price of a new flap will save several tubes. A poor flap is the course of constant annoyance.

REQ DOES A HUGE
 BUSINESS IN MONTH

The reputed slump in the automobile business Ras not affected the business of the Rec Motor Car Company; and, according to a statement made recently by R. H. Scott, vice president and gem eral manager of the concern, there is no indication that it is likely to do so in the near future.
 MT. Scotts statement reveals the SIT prising fact that during the past month"; the month of August-the Rec Motor Car Company produced and sold more autG- mobiles and speed wagons than in any month since the war. while in volume of business done-measured in dollars-the month far eclipse any month in the history of the company.
 Still more significant, perhaps, is the

fact that all indica tions point to another record breaking month in Septemhef. Dealers orders for cars and trucks for September delivery are far in excess of the possible output of the Rec plant; and consequently there is every indica- tion that the extent by which Septem- Der sales exceed those of August will be limited only by the ability of the factory end of the enterprise to increase produc- tiOn

Announce ment also was made that the bureau had compiled a system of permits. providing definite and fixed channel through which all intoxicating liquors must move and by which hereafter the government will know the location of every gallon of distilled liquor within the nations boundaries. except that stored in private homes.

 There is no danger of a strike on American railroads unless it is pro voked by such legislation as the Cum mins bill or such an altitude of the government as in the coal strike" the speaker said in conclusion.
 Mir. Gompers, defending organized labor, asserted that the unions had done more to prevent strikes than any other agency.
 If absence of strikes meant com mercial prosperity" he added then China ought to stand at the head of civilization.
 Speaking of the proposal for ma tional board of adjustment, supple mented by regional boards. as sug gested at the presidents second indus trial conference in Washineton. Mir. Gompers said that political changes would have so great an effect upon these boards that their worth would be destroyed.
