great many cars took this trip

one complaint. That was the delay

hours at Rhinecliff. and told me that
there was long string of cars be-

All this trouble could be avoided
by crossing in New York or short
distance up the river. The roads
are as good on one side as the other
and the scenery as pretty. l would

There is a small ferry at Rond-

Ever-Crowing Use
Parking Problem in Detroit
and Chicago Adds to the
Worry of Authorities;
Many Secondhand Cars
From a Special Correspondent

rTOHt q CpSC1QS COTr re6por6GHt
DETROIT, June 26.-One Of the
most interesting things about this city
is an institution which seems to belong
particularly to 1.-THE outdoor used
car market. All over the city are
small vacant lots on which are dis
played rows and rows Of used cars,
with the price or the "down payment
in whitewash on the windshield thereof
The interested purchaser can take q
demonstration ride, and If he likes the
car he may become its possessor by
paying so much down and tho rest in
ten months or q year. Tho sellers of
used cars in this city give liberal terms
and have done huge business at their
out-of-doors stands.
The cars, which are not youthful by
any manner of means, get a thorough
seasoning. They stand out in the
weather, regardless of rain, hail or
sunshine. To be sure, not any one car
stays there very long, because the mar
ket has been fast and furious. There
are so many people in this city who
have been making good money that
trade in used cars has been active.
indeed. In fact. with just a little less
than million population the city
has a car for every nine or ten in
habitants, which is better than the
average of one in every ID persons for
the whole United States.
Parking a Problem
The enormous number of cars in the
city has further complicated what was
already problem enough. That is the
matter of parking space for the ma
chimes. A man who has an appoint
ment downtown usually allows, if he
Is wise, about half hour margin for
parking his car. He may not be able
to get within a mile or so of the place
where he has his appointment and will
have good sized walk after he has
bestowed his machine somewhere. De-
troit has all sorts of restrictions on
parking. Some streets are for angle
parking; others are for parallel park
ing. There are some places where time
limits are set, SO that warning or a
summons follows overstaying the pc
riod.
Because so many persons have to
park where they can. instead of where
the car may be easily watched, thefts
OF automobiles are many and increas-
ing. Until the magistrates and Judges
punish automobile stealing as severely
as they do other ofTenses of equal
magnitude, however, there is likely to
be no check on such activities. On ac-
count of the thefts and the trouble in
finding street parking space a great
business has been built up in private
parking enterprises. A car may be left
all day for 25 cents, but that sum has
to be paid each time the car is taken
out and returned to the parking space
The parking problem is one of the

Cire Fullest Data
For Auto Insurance

Motorists who write to The Trib-
une to avail themselves of the Of
fered information service on auto
mobile insurance will make it easier
to answer their questions if they
specify year and model Of car,
whether purchased new or second

purchased second hand, how many
cylinders, if roadster or touring car
and number Of passenges, the
horsepower, where car will be kept,

Drivers Merely in Name
Much of the trouble on the roads is
because the drivers do not really learn
to drive. Nine-tenths of the students
who come to our school have a con-
tempt of road work. All they want is
shop or mechanical instruction, and they
think the rest is easy. They think that
anybody can drive, and it is this at
titude of the average driver which pro-
duces accidents. 1t is not appreciated
that driving is a serious matter and re-
quires much skill and judgment.
1t is very much easier to teach the
students the mechanics of a car than
to teach them driving. They do not
understand anything about the me-
chanics, as rule, and they think they
know all about the driving, so that our
instructors find that the absolute
greeEhorn learns to drive better than
the one who has been handling q car

order to take care Of the thousands of

Truck Has Big Future
In Nations Farm Life
Machine Does in One Load
What Slow Horse.Team Proc
csses Do in Several

The development Of the motor truck
Of to-day has been 50 rapid that It
stands as nearly perfect as an automo-
bile vehicle can be. This is the
opinion Of Eugene P. Herman. who
says:
"Most refnements in the motor truck
line either make riding easier for the
farmer or make more convenient his
loading or dumping problem. But the
truck has been established as king of
the heavy transportation field. Motor
lzlng the farm has arrived. 1t is the
next big general development in the
automotive field. 1t is the next step of
progress in the agricultural sphere. 1t
is only necessary to look through the
trade journals and glance around the
farms to obtain verifcation of this
fact.
motor trucks can now 20 into a
plowed field, gather up the hay or
potatoes or fruit, and in that single
handling deposit either in the market
direct or in a storage elevator many
miles away. There is not the trouble
of hauling from the field to the rail
roao by SLOW morse team processes,
unloading frbm the team and reloading
into the freight car for a short haul
or other unloading at the destination,
involving probably another short haul
from the vehicle to train and to
market. The truck does all this in one
load.
MANY farmers fight shy of motor
vehicles because they fear engine
trouble. But it must be remembered
that in the modern automobile this
trouble is not frequent. Proper care
and a little attention will make the
vehicle indefatigable. There are few
places a motor truck will not go and
comparatively few where it will be-
come incapacitated, if given the ordi-
nary care"

Big Increase in OUTPUT

Motor vehicle manufacturers have
had to break records to keep pace with
the demand. There were 1,974,O16 cars
and trucks made in the United States
last year. of which 316,364 were motor
trucks. The increase in passenger car
production was 1873 per cent over 1918.
This unusual jump was due to the fact
that in the year previous the bulk Of
the motor car factories were heavily
engaged in war production. The truck
production gain was 80 per cent over
