GERMANS UNABLE TO COMPETE
WITH AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS
Bug-a-Boo Declared Vanishing Before De-
preciated Mark and Export Tax-Old
Practice of Cheap Exports Ends

which fact is Offset. however. by a
practically proportionate increase in
costs in Germany.
ITO ship this car abroad. applica-
ton taseording to the Berliner-
to be made for an export permit. Upon
payment of a nominal fee. this would
undoubtedly be granted, but under the
stipulation that the sale be effected
in gold currency and the exchange
thus received made available to the
reichsbank.
"This monopoly in exchange by the
reichsbank has a direct relation to the
reparation payments that must regu-
larly be made to the allies. BY having
sole authority to control transactions
in gold currencies, the reichsbank is
afforded direct access to the money
tanned for payment Of the indemni-
ties. Incidentally. 1t Is also given
certain means to bolster up Germany's s
credit structure generally by secur-
ing payments in a stable currency
rather than in money of which the
value may depreciate considerably at
any moment.
"A foreign purchaser would conse.
Quently pay for German automobile
a price fixed in q gold currency and
increased sufficiently to cover the ex-
port tax Of rs per cent. Instead of
$2.070 as quoted to domestic users. the
foreign purchaser would actually pay
$2.60S.20 for a car Of the type de-
scribed above. Judged on the basis
of prices for export rather than for
domestic trade, the advantage of Ger
man manufacturers is not as great as
is generally supposed and even shows
further diminution where purchases
of foreign raw materials are required
in the manufacture of the exported
article.
Reports from trade authorities
abroad show that German automobile
factories are congested with domestic
orders. The foreign dumping which
has received much publicity has been
the disposal of war contract vehicles
by the government.
What applies to tho automobile
applies also to other branches of
American industries where speciali-
xation and mass production are basic
factors"

NEW NATIONAL HIGHWAY
SYSTEM IN THE MAKING

A new system Of national highways
is in the making. and there are tre-
mendous possibilities in its develop
ment. The recent enactment of the
Townsend bill, turning over immense
sums of federal money to the states
for the building and maintenance of
highways. has laid the foundation for
. new highway system. Under the
provisions Of the Townsend bill, CIV
ing federal aid to the states. each
state must designate 7 per cent Of ita
highway mileage as part of a pri-
mary system. three-seyenths of which
must be highways of interstate i'm
portance. Sixty per cent of the funds
allotted by the federal government
may be used on these primary high
ways.
This system of allocating federal
funds to the construction and mainte-
nance of interstate and primary high
ways is the basis for nation wide
system of roads which will have a
most constructive and sar-reaching
effect" says Walter c. Davis. secre-
tary and sales manager of the Davis
Motor Car Company. Main highways
will be built first. Interstate high
ways properly should be built with
federal money, as their Importance is

Edward S. Jordan was appointed

safety by the highways committee OF
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce at a meeting held last

: engaged in the promotion OF safety
work with relation to the highways,

step on the part of the automobile In

nouncement of his appointment. we
can accomplish most by working
through the schools. We must speak
for severe penalties Oh speeding ana

Fatalities Reduced 80 Per Cent.
Surveys of accident figures for vari-
Gus cities are the basis for this con-
clusion. Boston, after vigorous SAFE
ty campaign. has been able to reduce
her fatality records 80 per cent in one
year. Detroit, through instruction in
the schools, education of motorists
and the provision of a large number
of Fairgrounds, has cut down its traf-
fic fatalities "a per cent in the first
nine months of this year over the
corresponding period of last year.

PATHFINDER FOR TOUR
;. ARRIVES HERE ON TRIP

J. E. MCGEE, pathfinder for the A.
l.. A. Green Book tour to Florida. who
left Boston November %, has reached
here.
Mr.. McGee acted as pathfinder for
the tour last year, and is certain that
the 1921 tour will exceed. in the num-
Der Of entries. the previous one.
Last year the tour left Boston De-
cember and reached Miami Decem-
ber "a. Twenty one cars participated
in the tour, and the entire trip Of
1900 miles was negotiated absolutely
on schedule. Every car made every
noon and night control on time and
reached the end of the trip one-half
hour ahead of the schedule ANNOUNCE
ed at the start.
This record is unprecedented. for no
other tour of the same size has been
able to finish without losing some OF
the entrants en- route, nor has any
other tour finished with every entrant
is particularly creditable when it Is
considered that every driver was the
owner of the car and not a single car
was driven by a professional driver
nor was there single factory entry.
The route to be followed is via
ford, Conn; New Haven, Bridgeport,
New York city, Trenton, N. J.: Phila-
delphia. Pa: Lancaster. York. Gettys-
burg, Washington. D. c.: Fredericks-
burg, Va: Richmond. Henderson. n.

Camden. Augusta, Ca; Macon, Way
cross. Jacksonville, Fla: st. Angus
tine. Daytona. Cocoa and Palm Beach
to Miami. At Daytona, a division will
go via Orlando, Haines City and Tam
pa to st. Petersburg. This route is
subject to change should Mr.. MCGEE
find better roads over another route.
Mr.. Rocamora, president of Scarbor-
ough's, publishers of the Automobile
Green Book, will again act as pilot.
Mr.. Rocamora acted in the same ca
pacity last year. and also as pilot of
the Scarborough tours from Indian
apolis to Jacksonville.
The tour will be accompanied by a
service car. equipped to make all nee
essary road repairs. This service car
is in charge of Lieut.. Clarence H.
Cushing. who served eighteen months
in France with the American expedi-
tionary force aviation division.
Mr.. McGee is very enthusiastic over
the receptions accorded him on his
trip, and with the plans announced
by the various chambers Of commerce
to entertain the tourists. He reports
that the roads from Boston to WASH
iugton were in good condition.

"In Germany. however. the pre-war

considerably higher price than would

sing the song Of the home town. The
time long since passed when newspa.

sist on the taking 1t for granted"
spirit Of its patrons and well wishers.
Costs Of producing newspapers today
have not decreased in anything like
the proportion experienced in other
lines and figures quoted recently by
daily and weekly newspapers through
the country have given the public q
glimpse into the expense incidental to
conducting the home paper.
To the newspaper men and women
Of each community has fallen the task
Of presenting the current events Of a
fast-moving world in accordance with
the modern ideas, more or less extrava-
CANT, and keeping smiling counte-
nance and courageous heart when
others are prone to talk hard times.
Their loyalty to the state and their
community has undergone severe
test but they met it with optimism and
only a little reflection is required to
show how much worse conditions might
have been before the turn In the road
was reached, had they pursued differ
ent course.
Advertisers had to keep advertising
whether they could pay promptly or
not and business had to be kept go
ing for the general good. The pub
fishers and editors did their part and
the second week in November is pro-
claimed time when those who bene-
flied by this policy can express 1t in
