In spite Of high custom Duties and
the unfavorable state OF foreign ex-
change. sales OF American cars have
shown an encouraging increase in
France. Almost all Of the American
automobile firms have branches in this
city, and managers say nothing re-
mains, apparently, but to close shop,
40 all they can do Is to maintain serv-
Ice and make repairs on ears already
sold. Figures collected by automobile
cars valued at 241,0 900 francs were i'm
ported, and that in 1919 the value of
American automobiles received in this
country was 100000 francs. In Janu-
ary, 1920. the importations Of cars from
America were worth 321 900 francs. 1t
Is pointed out the demand for large
trucks is insignificant, and those used
during the war are now being oper-

not especially for the. purpose Of pro-

Prior to the discovery Of oil deposits

Unloading Counts
Much i'm Truck Haulage
Speed i'm Relieving Vehicles of
Cargo Needs Attention, just
as Loading Does


sUnioading has been given just as
much study as loading by efficient truck
makers and operators. AS result, time
saving devices which serve s-wide range
Of requirements have been perfected.
In some classes Of work the truck
body lends itself to speedy load re-
moval. This is true Of coal delivery
and contracting work, where dump
bodies elevated by hoists operated by
the truck engine power are useful, ena-
bling the operator to remove the load
almost instantly. In SOME types Of coal
delivery the body, instead of being tilt
ed, Is bodily elevated, so that coal can
be chuted to the bin.
For removing heavy objects from the
truck platform, swinging crane appa-
ratus has been devised. To prevent the
truck from tipping when the crane Is In
operation, folding outriggers are used.
Overhead monorail systems also are
used for this purpose.
Power winches are used to aid In the
unloading Of heavy trucks. Telephone
companies use these truck winches also
for laying cables and to assist in un-
loading the heavy spools of cable.
Just as interchangeable bodies and
semi-trailers in many cases reduce load
ing time where the load Handling period
is abnormal, SO likewise do they serve
to reduce unloading periods. Under
good conditions. III fact, semi trailers
have been known to cut haulage costs
one-third.
Special equipment for the loading
and unloading of bricks affords an ex-
ample of the enormous saving that re-
suits from the elimination of unneces-
sary loading or unloading delays.
The possibilities for reducing trans
portation expenses materially through
the use OF proper body equipment or
auxiliary equipment are so great that
no truck operator should feel satisfied
to abandon the subject after q super
fetal examination.

Manufacturers to
Come to Relief
OF Workingmen
Will Build Homes for Their
Help; Find That Mental
State Caused by Shortage
Is Affecting Production

Reduction in quantity production has
been traced by number Of large man
ufacturing corporations to the housing
situation. Lack Of homes and the high
rentals demanded for those available
have proved so disturbing that opera
tives have found 1t impossible to de-
vote their minds and energy fully 10
their work. The efficiency men Of the
large plants have found that men can
not divorce from their minds the pos
sible consequences which may come TO
them and their families because OF II
competition for accommodations.
The decline in production it is sale
became SO noticeable at some Of the
largest commercial centers that hurried
calls were sent out for directors meet
ings to consider the problem and ways
and means to meet it In every case
the trouble was traced to the lack o.
homes.
A number Of these concerns hava
started on campaign Of home build
ing for their workers on a plan thai
will be easy for every worker to meet
8, W. Straus, In a statement issued
yesterday based on information CLEANED
from every large manufacturing cente,
in the country, said:
"The shortage of homes Throughout
the country not only adds to the finail-
ciai burdens Of many classes-Df people
who are least able to stand them, but
it has a general disturbing effect which
fosters unrest and contributes to the
general lack of production.
"In recognition Of this fact some Of
the country's large industrial concerns
have, during the last few weeks, under
taken to solve the housing problems
among their employees through the IL
auguration Of instalment mortgages. In
one Of the most notable Of these plans
it is announced that the employees are
to make an initial payment " 10 per
cent Of the cost Of the home, and then
pledge themselves to pay the balance In
monthly instalments covering period
of ten years, the total cost being just
what the cost has been to the corpora
ton.
Such plans cannot fall to have
helpful effect on general" industri7i
conditions throughout the country, fot
it must be recognized that nothing will
have q more stabilizing influence or

than adequate and comfortable homes:
AS long as the eountry's quota o.

While there is ample need FOR struct

Outside Tenants In This Deal
Fifteen tenants who do not occupy
apartments in Woodrow Court, a six
story apartment house occupying the
entire block front on the east side of
Broadway between 189th and 10th
streets, have negotiations we'll advanced
for the purchase Of the building from
the A. IL. Investing Company, which ac-
quired the house several months ago
and has been asking 100000 for the
property. 1t contains ffty-four apart
zers of the buying syndicate plan to
move into the building next fall at the
expiration of existing leases, which will
mean that fifteen families will have to
look elsewhere for rooms. The buyers
expect the income from the other
thlrty-nine apartments and stores will
pay for the operation and maintenance
of the building.
Two other houses taken over by ten
ants last week are the seven-storv

house at 1901 St. Nicholas Avenue,
