enough to believe that every major de-
 velopment in our international growth in our civic reforms and in our economic re- adjustments will lead us to bigger and better things for tho future. Every one
 Of us should be an optimist, there is no
 room for pessmism.
 By referring 10 one of my charts, I
 notice that in 1905 there were 15o,00O auto mobiles in the country; l5 years later we
 have passed the seven million mark. Now
 I hear much about the 'saturation point
 and that other indefinite period when we
 shall have diminishing returns Automo- , piles come in the 'consumption' class of commodities f. e.. they are used, worn out-and replaced as an essential part Of ] life, just as clothing is. I forecast that we shall he able to absorb not only the present automobile production, but we shall even sustain the greater growth which ambitious manufacturers are medi- ! tating.
 PROBLEM OF PRODUCTION
 z Hence it is a problem of production, and every citizen, from the management { to the worker at the bench, should do his share toward keeping an uninterrupted ! flow of raw materials and finished goods going through the mills, warehouses and
 stores of this country and every man has
 right to share in the fruits thereof In ] no other line of industry are the relations | between capital and labor on a friendlier ] or sounder footing than in the automotive | field. hence there should be no cause for ! apprehension.
 | "So far as passenger vehicles are con | cerned we are now at the crest of a buy | ing market. Production does not equal demand and personally I expect this con- ] dition- to exist for some time to come.
 recall being told at one of the New York shows way back in 1907 that the then an-
 nual production of 6O,oO0 cars marked the I peak point in automobile manufacture and that the number of cars to be made 1 annually would lessen rather than in- crease. Just as that prophet of gloom was
 suffering from brainstorm so will I also | classify those two today are refusing to advance with the times The proposed car l production for 1920 is 100000 cars. An analysis of the market, at home and
 abroad, shows an ability to absorb even l greater production. hence the possibility
 of shortage of cars is imminent.
 EVERY ONE AFFECTED
 "The average reader may say, well, | this growth of the automobile industry l is all very nice but wherein does it af-
 feet me?" Anything relating to the third | largest industry in the country affects | everyone. Thus within the past 10 years
 our cities have undergone a wonderful | transformation. A decade ago Chicago

yelled But today cities having popula- ton of only two or three hundred thou sand spread themselves over as large an area. In some of our states the country is no longer rural, it is interurban. Think what this means for health and cultude; again think what it means for real estate values.
 "A certain authority estimates that for every million dollars worth of automo- piles produced there is produced another million dollars worth of property values. Now consider how important it is that we should have network of highways in every community for freight and pas senger traffic. I believe this implicitly So in the final summary my conclusion is that the number of cars produced during the years to come does not rest with a group of manufacturers in the central west, but lies rather in the hands of the general public Authorize the building Of suitable highways and the manufactur- CTS will motorize them, greatly 0 the advantage of the community and the in diyidual"

NEXT SULTAN OF
 TURKEY ID HAVE
 BUT SINGLE WIFE
Abdul Mejid Wants Friend ship of America in Help ing Develop His
 Country
By Associated Press

Constantinople, December -2o- Turkeys next Sultan, Abdul MedJid' now the heir apparent, will be the first to have but one wife, and as such she will enjoy the same romantic posi- ton as the celebrated Roxalana, the all-powerful favorite wife of Suleiman the Magnificent whose tombs for cen turies have attracted visitors to the Suleiman mosque in Constantinople.
 Abdul Medjid is regarded as one ot the most interesting personalities Of Turkey. For 33 years he was a pris- oner in the house of his father, Abdul Aziz, who was sultan for 15 years until his deposition and death in 1876.
 T was happy during those long years" he said to the Associated Press, because I married early, at 24, mar ried for love and then I used my time improving my mind, drawing wisdom from the works of the worlds philoso- phers." He is no longer officially a prisoner. Since the dethronement and sudden death of Abdul Hamid in 1908, and the advent of the young Turks, he has won his way to liberty at least so far as travel in Asia, or in Constanti- nople. is concerned and also to cer tain freedom of speech.
 In person he looks not unlike the old fashioned gentleman farmer of Eng land or America Stout, bluff, hearty his dress is of rough, loosely fitting homespun, with only the red fez which Turks wear in or out of doors to in- dicate his nationality. When he doesn't smile, which is not often, his graying hair and moustache and wide Circassian blue eyes give him the
