 REMOVES BAN
 ON AUTOPAPER

ATLANTA, Ga. Nov. 20. (SpeciaD- Automobile dealers of this federal re- serve district have reported a very sub stantial increase In business since the federal reserve bank removed the ban on automobile purchase financing.
 Governor wellborn. of the Atlanta federal reserve bank. issued a state ment on October %. in which he said' Last spring, our banks felt the nec- essity of inaugurat.ng a campaign for the control of credits. as there were signs that the expansion of loans TOT luxuries was going on too fast. we had no intention of striking blow at tho great automobile industry, but only to discourage, and, if possible. prohibit the reckless granting of credits to ex- travagapt and impccunious purchasers of cars who were not likely t0 be able to maintain them."
 T think our position in this matter should be easily recognized and -uulS appreciated by all substantial dealers of motor cars. The federal reserve bank recognizes the importance of tho automobile industry and does not de- Sire to discri-nipate against motor paper of the proper character.

NEW YORK $ GAR , REGISTRATION . SHOWS b|G JUMP

NEW YORK. Nov. 20, (SpeciaD-- Ia six years, New York city has in creased it's registration of passenger cars 142,916. In 1ho same time the number of motor trucks and commer- cial cars have increased 53,s57. the number of chauffeurs 1o7,1s5 and the number of automobile and truck deal- CTS 1,014.
 These figures give some idea of the enormous number of cars and trucks, and also the number of persons who gain their livelihood in the motor i'm dustry in the city.
 In 1914, the number of passenger cars was s5,os4. The number of trucks and commercial vehicles was 11,14s, of dealers, GOA, and Of chauffeurs, 47,S75. Since then the figures have climbed to 20s.000 passenger cars. 64.500 commer- cial vehicles, 1,61S dealers and 150,0o0 chauffeurs.
 Frank r. Redmond. chief of the auto mobile bureau of the New York city, recently furnished these figures to the Automobile Club of America. The great congestion in New York is further aug mented by the thousands of motor ve- hicles which enter the city every day from other states. and the number oi accidents is also greatly increased thereby.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (SpeciaD D-At a recent meeting of the export man. agers' division of the national automo- bile chamber of commerce, the question of tariffs for automobile imports was given a great deal of consideration.
 Lower tariffs or the importation of European automobiles were favored by the division as a whole. It was the opinion of the majority of those attend ing the conference, that the United States should reciprocate as far as pos sible with other countries in the matter of regulations governing the marketing of motor vehicles.
 It was pointed out at the conference that exports from the United States were hindered by the fact that the movement of foreign cars into the United States was retarded. Exports for the fiscal year on automobiles anc automotive products reached the SPA. 100000

ConUerse Rubber Co. One of First
 To Cut Prices

One of the first tire companies 10 announce a revision of their prices downward is the Converse Rubber Shoe company of Maiden. Mass, where skilled rubber craftsmen have been making rubber products for three or four generations.
 This manufacturer is making an- nouncement of reduction in price to the motoring public this week, and although they feel that the present manufacturing costs have not changed there is a disposition on their part to figure as closely as possible to comply with the general demand for lower prices.
 Mir. Clark W. Shaw, distributor for California and Arizona, states that in his p years experience in the rubber business he has never come in con- tact with a more progressive manu- facturer than Mir. Clark Converse, head of the Converse Rubber Shoe company. Tires made by them he be- iie~es to be the most attractive in ap- pearance~ of any tire made; he is sure that they cannot be excelled in non- skid qualities, and for tread wear they are wonderful
 AIr Shaw has esta blished in the past all the agencies he could get goods to supply. He has succeeded, however. in getting an increased allotment for the coming year and is therefore open for a few more agencies in this territory,

NASH FOUR" AND . MISS PHOENIX DRAW ADMIRATION IF All

One of the pretiest sights ever be- held on the streets of Phoenix was that which greeted the citizens of this town when they beheld the new Nash -Four, with Miss Phoenix at the wheel last evening.
 "A beautiful ear and a beautiful girl" was the way many people who looked, saw, and looked again, ex- pressed themselves.
 Beauty is skin deep" according to some brilliant poet or philosopher, who lived years ago. Today. beauty is more than skin deep. It extends pretty far into the system. For proof look at this new Nash creation. While noth- ing has been spared to make of this car a creation beautiful to look upon, been left undone to make of the mo tor and chassis a thing for the car driver to exult over.
 The motor is a beauty. Every nov ing s5art has been covered and thus quiet and cleanliness prevail. No ! grease is thrown about to mar the ap- pearance of the motor and hood sup 1 ports. The carburetor is placed high up on the motor block. No more get | ting underneath and removing the pan l to stop a leaky carburetor or to re- move waste and decomposed rubber that finds it's way into the gasoline and thence to the carburetor of any car

In the plan of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California, for rendering specific tire service to the million motorists or the West, 5,420 regular service stations are now in cluded. all identified by the familiar Goodyear sign, reaching even the re- motest hamlets.
 This far flung battle fine has been established in the interest of the great army of American motorists because | il is their due. There are many ser vices that all these motorists have a right to expect from these service sta tions-and which the service stations expect to be called upon to furnish.

Castleton, local manager, says, We feel that not Ienough has been done when We have built mileage into your tires, for the service is not complete-our plan in- wolves helping the used to get this increase mileages by meeting and averting those abuses which shorter tire life and boost tire cost.

A. J. Decker of Newton, Iowa. &C., companied by his wife, arrived in Phoe- nix Wednesday, en route to California. They are driving an Essex car and have travelled more than 2.400 miles sirce leaving their home a few weeks ago.
 Decker was high in his praise for the performance of his Essex, but could not say so much for the New Mexico roads. He said he plowed for days through gumbo mud in New Mexico and negotiated drives that many other cars had refused to tackle. Even con sidering this grind, Decker said, they have yet to experience their first car trouble with the Essex and since reaching Phoenix, they have changed only one tire.
 They left Thursday morning for Cal ifornia and expected to make it to Riv- erside in two days. They will wise friends at Arcadia. Calif.. where they will spend the winter months.

 They lose sight of the importance of traction, residence, saving in fuel and truck depreciation, but the truck operator, who is building not only for the present but for the future, will do well to study these problems, in order that he may be able to equip his truck with a tire that will give, not only more miles per dollar, but will help him to save on the truck operation and maintenance and at the same time increase the trucks efficiency

MEXICO CITY, Sept. s. - Pacifi- cation Of the republic was declared to have been the most important success of his administration by Provisional President de la Huerta yesterday while discussing conditions in this country. He added the industrial question was the most important now confronting the government.
 Critics of my administration, he said, cannot understand why the present regime has been able to meet the financiaf demands made up on it. They do not realize that de facto officials are without love for other peoples money"
 The provisional president announc- ed his intention of turning over to congress on September % the extra ordinary financial powers which hat body had conferred upon the late CarranZa.
 All constitutional laws enacted dur ing the Carranza administration will be recognized by the de facto govern ment but Carranza's s doctrine relative to Latin American unionism is not supported.
