10000 HOUSES, LAST YEAR

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. May 26.-rhe United
States needs 3.340.000 additional houses.
according to Nelson CunIiffe of this city.
who yesterday addressed the spring
meeting of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, in session here.
Cunliffe is manager of the st. Louis
Housing Association. a department of
the chamber of commerce, and which is
building houses for workmen at cost.
Although there is an average of 0i0. :
900 marriages in this country annually,
there were only 10000 houses built in
1918 and 10000 in 1919, Cunliffe declared.
He suggested that associa lions similar
to the one here be organized in every
city to relieve the house famine. Build
ing costs. he added, are about 215 per
cent above the pre-war levels.

This is the condition in general. In

Both Warren G. Harding and James

the broadest sense OF the word. They
are not motor passengers, but men
who hike to drive their own cars
whenever opportunity affords the
chance. They love the call OF the
open road. the thrill of holding the
steering wheel at speed. the lure of
long trips and the adventure of motor
life. Despite their prominence in ma

pathy with us. a man who will under

there should be sane legislation. and
whose influence will be OF the great
est value to US when national motor
ing problems have to be solved.
The election also will mean much in
a good roads way. for not only are the
the candidates themselves pledged to
the cause but also both parties have
adopted liberal planks dealing with
the subject OF highways which will

DISCOVERY REDUCES
VIBRATION OF AUTOS
Engineers Eliminate Whip" From
Crankshaft and Thereby Lessen
Jar and Noise,

One of the greatest advances made
recently in automobile engineering
has been the use OF a greatly i'm
proved crankshaft. with four bear
ings. thus minimizing the vibration
and noise which occur in the engine
The engineers of the Liberty Six have
successfully adopted this Improvement
and have won the distinction OF being
the first to make this progress in the
medium priced car class.
For several years automobile build
ers have been adopting heavier crank
shafts, made of better quality ma
terial. in order to reduce vibration.
II is believed that many will go a
step farther. as the Liberty engineers
did. and practically eliminate vibra-
tion and noise by giving the crank
shaft the extra support supplied by an
additional bearing.
The so-called whip" in a crank
shaft is to blame for much of the
noise and vibration. and it was to get
away from this whip" that the Lib
erty Six adopted a fourth bearing.
This added bearing aids the crank
shaft in resisting the strains imposed
upon IL by the explosions in the CYL

bridge being supported in the middle

BUTTER WILL REMOVE
TAR FROM AUTO BODIES

1t seldom is possible to pilot a ma
chine over newly tarred roads with
cut transferring some of the tar to
the body. If treated in time the spots
are not difficult to remove. The ma
chine should be washed to eliminate
all grit, and dried by pat:ing with
chamois, so that the tar will not be
smeared. Vaseline or butter next
should be applied over each spot and
W worked in with the fingers. A thor
ough wash with body soap and a final
polish complete the operation.

Difficulties Of Manufacture
Create Big Obstacle, Rodney
B. lanes Writes.

Motorists in discussing the automo-
bile price question seem 20 be under
the impression that the temporary
difficulties In which some dealers and
factories find themselves, will mean
a general lowering OF prices. i do
not believe that conditions warrant
any price reductions. nor will such
reductions come for a long time. ere
tainly not earlier than. the fall OF
1921. writes Rodney Burdett James in
Motor. The ratio Of supply to demand
though II has been altered since the
spring OF this year, has not been
changed sufficiently TO warrant any
change in car prices to the consum-
er.
The general public must look to
the present situation as merely tenn
porary and as affecting the automo-
bile industry in the same way as the
woolen industry and many others have
been affected. Present conditions
have no bearing on the future. Some
factories have come out with state
ments guaranteeing present prices to
hold well into next year. The ma
tority OF makers will not commit
themselves owing to their inability
TO Judge conditions months hence.
Many are of the firm opinion that
their prices will have to be increased
rather than reduced
At the time OF writing reports COM
ing In from dealers and factories
show that two big problems are hIn-
dering business These are shipping
and bank credits. Factories cannot
get raw materials. or II they are well
stocked and this is worked into fin
ished products. these cannot be ship
ped, with the result that there is con-
gestion at the factories. In the case
of some accessory makers, tires for
instance, II is seen there is actual
necessity for closing the plants in
order to allow time TO move accumu-
lated material.
FACTORIES BECOME CLoGGED.
When automobile factories cannot
get their parts. the parts factories ma
turally become clogged and at the
snme time car production goes down.
These conditions actually exist in
many cases. On top OF this where
some factories are able to make
learge shipments. tho dealers taking
