ACUTE SHORTAGE
OF FREIGHT CARS
DELAYS SHIPMENT
Automobile Manufacturers
Forces to Use Their Wits
to Supply Dealers to
Meet Demand

Due to the acute shortage of rolling
OF freight and express to various points
throughout the country, manufacturers of
automobiles have bene forced to use their
wits to the very utmost to supply dealers
with the cars with which to meet the I'M
abating demand for automobiles.
In times past, from November until
March, there was great deal OFF mac
tivity in the retail automobile markets.
Not so this year. Realizing that there is
bound to be a shortage Of motor cars
again this season, buyers are insisting
on immediate deliveries, and dealers. who
in times past at this season Of the year
had cars in warehouses do not even have
cars to exhibit on the salesroom floors.
so drastic have been the conditions con-
fronting the manufacturers of cars that
many are relying on all sorts OF sx-
pedents to alleviate present conditions
SHIP ON FLAT CARS
Among these tho Colo Motor Car Com
pany of indianapolis has partially solved
the problem OF shipping cars in this man
ner.
Within the last thirty days scores Of flat
cars have been switched onto the Cole
factory sidngs and loaded with automo-
biles. One trainload of over twenty flat
cars, loaded with Aero-Eights, went for
ward within the last few days to Denver
under convoy guard Of several men.
Other points to which flat car shipments
went were Cleveland, Cincinnati, Sioux
City, Kansas City, st. Louis, Pittsburg,
Milwaukee, Springfield, ILL.,, and other
cities within reasonable radius of the
Hoosier capital.
Drive-aways have been encouraged to
those sections where road conditions per-
nit safe travel overland and Chicago,
Cleveland. Pittsburg, Milwaukee, Cincin-
natl and other points have driven scores
of cars from the Cole plant.
Another serious condition has developed
in the export end of the Cole company's
business. Embargoes in the east have
curtailed shipments TO the Atlantic ports
and hundreds of automobiles on order at
the Cole plant from their dealers in for
eign markets have been held up awaiting
shipping possibilities.
RECORDS BIG MONTH
DESPITE these restrictions, however, the
Cole company recorded the biggest month
in it's export business in January that 1t.
had had since ii started business, cars
being shipped to England, Brazil, Saliva
dor, India, Greece, Norway, Java, Italy,
Spain, Cuba, Uruguay, Venezuela and CO.
lcmbia during the first month of the year.
Difficulties in obtaining raw materials
lave caused the Cole officials to pro-
duce large quantities of raw stock, and
store it in Indianapolis warehouses sub
iect to- the reallire1neng of the factory TO
guard against 4 tie-up of production due
70 the inability Of sources of supply to
ship materials into the plant. 1t Is esti-
mated that as mitch warehouse space IS
being used in Indianapolis for the storage
OF raw materials going into the .prouc-
ton OF Cole cars as is required to build

ADVICE ON FLU,
IT'S WORTH SAVING


When Flu makes its appearance in
your locality, do as the Scotch folk
do-be prepared.
Order from your druggists a small
inexpensive bottle of Haelanol, an
anttseptic liquid that can be sprinkl.
ed on handkerchief, and when breath.
ed deep into the lungs, turn into pene.
trating, antiseptic air that destroys all
harmful germs as it passes over tbs
membrane of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes.
This is Scotch physicians pre-.
scription that is gaining much favor
In this country because 1t is such a
thoroughly good destroyer OF pernici.
Gus germs.
When you have heavy cold O,
chronic catarrh, sprinkle few drops
on your pillow when you go to bed,
and you'll find that it cleans out the
stuffed UP nasal passages while you
sleep, and in short time makes an
end to catarrh.
It's really an important discovery
and worth trial, and a little pamph.
let that goes with it, gives you lot
of good advice.

How To Make Friends.

Did you know that there were

judges by appearances. The girl with

BEFORE AN AUDIENCE.

FiERE are few things disconcerting to novice
than to stand aone-a solitary speaker or performer
before an audience of people who stare silently and
soemny upon him. He knows, or ought to know. that
he is safe. He stands let us say in concert hail. the
place is secure; the people civilized and interested and
friendly, or they would not be there Nobody is going
10 eat him. And yet he could hardly feel worse if he were
facing horde of hungry cannbas And all this is per-
fecty NATURAL for when fear takes possession there is no
room left for reason.
It's bad enough to be silently scrutnzed by even sin
gle formdableooking person. Ii takes some nerve to
meet his eyes; and crude cloth model of an ANIMALS face
with big eyes, can often make baby cry.
hen the moionless silence of formal audience is un
csnny and keeps one in suspense Finally people speak
and move and give some sign of recognion but in the
concert hall they only stare like animals preparing to
SPRING And this is likely 10 be worse with children than
with adults for when talks 10 an audience or leads
some song chant which they all take part the silent
ICY stare gives almost something else and
the person the platform becomes one of the crowd But
when ne simply performs before them like girl at the
piano or boy recitng piece the icy stiffness lasts and
the performer may feel more and the terror of thing
apart before those silent eyes. If he could only cut some
caper to make them laugh!
And then, after all, an audience is crowd and ages
ago. before dreamed of chdrens rectaons or
schools concert halls, before they ever wrote line or
had even learned to speak, sins gle man or animal faced
by pack or herd, gang, or mob of doubfu-lookns

better part of valo and he could be thankful for an all
possessing fear that gave wings to hs flight
How much of the past packed into the human nature
of today!

We Read Too Much

Yesterday was Lincoln's birthday
and this month in the Metropolitan
Magazine there is a picture of Abra
ham Lincoln which, is especially well
known-that of him sitting before the
old-fashioned fireplace with his back
ITO the golden flames, reading a book.
Lincoln did not have the modern con-
veniences we have today but it made
little difference when 1t came to his
mind cultivation. There were not
many books available in Lincoln't
day but those which he managed to
get hold of were digested thoroughly
and made a part OF him.~As every
one knows he was one OF the great
est men who ever lived. The picture
has set me to thinking.
j often wonder whether we wouldn't
al be better men and women il we
could go back to the days when there
was little to distract the mindAlit-,
tie to fascinate but much to pin 1t
down to real thinking and honest de-
Eelopment. Today we have books OF
thousand different kinds. We have
SO much to read we never read any
thing well. We have q book for eys
cry minute and we're constantly
reaching for more. Reading matter
in this age is most entertaining and
1t is very difficult TO Judge off hand
what is worth reading and what Is
not. By the time we dip into this and
into that; all the time we have is
used up and we haven't gone very
far mentally. The glorious world in
other ways too is calling us strongly
SO that we don't have a moments
time to truly think, to really reflect
ON life and its modelling qualities. The
result is that soon life is mostly used
up and We wonder why It is that we
know so little. Fortunate is the man
today who knows how to use Just what
