NEW YORK. Oct. 2s-The real
menace TO the automobile industry
Is the unscientinc way In which
used cars are handled, 10 the opin-
ion of Alfred Reeves general man
ager Of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce. In an ad-
dress before the Automobile Deal

declared that 1T threatens not only
the prosperity OF the dealer but
through him the stability and
standing Of the manufacturer.
1T is not alone the dealers prob
lem and efforts to better Il should
be made by the manufacturers in
cooperation with their distribu-
tors" Reeves declared.
Among other questions which
should be given careful considers
tion, according to Reeves, are low

fewer taxes, and a decrease In ac-
gidents.

During the stress Of the comps-
tition Of the past six months. the
ridiculous allowances for second
hand cars were a form OF price cut
ting. However, II was the same
when there was an over-demand for
cars. Even in those days. dealers
allowed more than cars were worth,
so that car selling became largely a
matter Of trading with the owner Of
an old car. The salesman generally
works harder for the customer than
for his own house, with the result
that cars were taken in at 10 to 10
per cent more than could be OBJ

mans call for independent tndi-

South Dakota now leads with
one for every five and one-quarter

York State has only one for every
fifteen and one-half persons, while
In all the United States there In a
car for every eleven persons.
Auto Industry over-faxed.
Based on the false idea that
motor vehicles are luxuries, our
people have been heavily over-taxed
Last year we paid taxes individual
to our own industry, of more than
s31s,0oo,00o, including taxes on
sales, registering cars and drivers,
gasoline, wheel taxes, and similar
imposts. A survey shows that
sixty per cent of all automobile
mileage is for business purposes
and ninety per cent Of all cars are
used more or less for business.
Yet, in the face of all OF these
handicaps, America on wheels has
become an accomplished fact.
This industry second only TO
steel among American manufactur-
ing industries, has gone through
the readtustment in fine fashion,
primarily because the advantage of
lower prices for cars was adver-
tised and given direct TO the pub
lie.
SCar production in September
was four per cent less than August
and eighty-five per cent of Septem-
Der of last year.
Predicts Better Business.
I'VE have had a sick prosperity
but the patient is beginning to ina
prove and should make rapid
strides during the next six months,
especially with the promised early
action on taxes, tariff and other
national problems.
American business in the hys-
terra following the armistice, vio-
lated the laws OF economics which
brought its punishment just as truly
as the punishment which follows
the violation of natures laws
Let us be conservatively opti-
mistic, with an abiding faith in
the stability OF the good U. S. A.
car, that may occasionally have
to go into low gear to make a
grade, but which has the funda-
mental motive power to make the
grade and TO go forward at in
creased speed toward prosperity
its proper destination"
Mr.. Reeves declared that the
hardware dealer, because OF his
high standing in the communities,
was entitled to an increasing pro-
portion OF the automotive equip
ment business and he outlined
plans with a view to bringing
about such a situation.

proud proprietor of the Stomach-ache.

He reached the door with moment
to spare, and Hugh came back laugh

"Verily-an upheaval In the grey

his glass. "Now, boys, what about

''Is it necessary to go at all?" asked
Peter.

millionaire behind. But Hugh seemed

steal smile was on his face, as out
of the corner of his eye he watched
| the man who had been busy doing
nothing feverishly trying to crank his
car, which, after the manner of the
brutes, had seized that moment to jib.
Still smiling, Hugh got out and
walked up to the perspiring driver.
"a warm day." he murmured.
Don't hurry; We'll wait for YOU"
Then, while the man, utterly taken
aback, stared at him speechlessly, he
strolled back to his own car.
"Hugh-you're mad, quite mad,''
said Peter resignedly, as with splut-
tering roar the other car started, but
Hugh still smiled. On the way to
the airdrome he stopped twice after a
block in the traffic to make quite sure
that the pursuer should have no
chance of losing him, and, by the time
| they were clear of the traffic and spin
ming toward their destination, the gen.

| with Darrell.
