PLAN TO PARK CARS

The plan Of former Mayor Carter
Harrison. In 1913, to relieve the
traffic congestion in Chicago by
parking automobiles in subway ga
RACES has been revived and Is re-
ceiving more attention than hereto
fore.
Mayor Harrison's idea was to dig
underneath Grant Park on the lake
front. for the construction of seven
garages. each the size of a city
block. A four-foot layer OF loan on
the concrete roof would permit the
maintenance of the park practically
as 1t was before. IL
Each garage would have q ca
pacity of 225 cars. The entrance and
exit would be on opposite sides SO
that traffic would be one way. On
entering the motorist would receive
the number of his stall and the key
to a locker in the parking space for
storage of loose articles. %
The original estimate Of the cost
Of such a system was s125.ooo for
each garage.

Optimism in This Field
Prevalent All Over

Back Of the whole country Is
an extremely prosperous feeling"
is q keynote Of an interview given
by J. e. Fields, director Of sales
and assistant general manager Of
the Liberty Motor Car Company at
Detroit. Mr.. Fields has just re-
turned to Detroit after more than
three months in covering principal
trading centers all the way from
Maine to Los Angeles and the lower
Mississippi Valley to Canada The
results Of his Investigations are en-
couraging and valuable to those de-
string an authoritative analysis of
business In general.
Trade papers and the press gen.
orally have been giving vent to a
great deal of optimism, and rightly
So" says Mr.. Fields. MY inves-
LEGATIONS Of conditions have salts
ned me that the country, as a
whole, Is extremely prosperous.
While some localities may have a
temporary handicap due to low
prices for farm or manufactured
products, this condition will be
quickly overcome Just as SOON as
there Is an optimistic tone from
other sections Of the country.
Tn my opinion" he continues.
leach of US seems to want the re-
adjustment to take place without
our contributing anything toward
1t. The farmer and stock raiser of
the North and the cotton grower
of the South would like to see the
readjustment of prices without the
need of themselves contributing.
We. as manufacturers, would like to
see the same thing take place, but
the sooner each and all of us decide
that everyone must contribute to
the improved conditions. the sooner
the readjustment will take place.
And the sooner that readjustment
takes place, the sooner business
will arrive at its normal condition
and every man should do his share.
Il have a great deal of faith In
the automobile industry, especially
SO when I see the tremendous ap-
propriations which are being made
for good roads In the different
States. This means sales of larger
numbers Of cars and trucks. Then
again, when one analyses Ameri-
cas- prosperity. one cannot but fee
that there is q great home demand
for the product We are making still
untitled.
"The automobile people are GER
tainly in q wonderful business
when you realize that We are selling
q product which every man. woman
and child wants. regardless Of
whether they can afford 1t. They
are interested in autos, talking
about them, and expect to have one
at some later date. What othel
product creates such a desire in the
entire family's mind?
Beginning of better business I,
already noted in far-separated sec
tions of the country. Better busi-
ness in one region is quickly fol.
lowed in other Immediate terrific.

ness as I am on every business oi
our country-we must be Willing
to accept gradual ipcreases: but We
are reassured that all Increases will
be permanent improvement"
