farmers. whose use of the automobile
is certainly utillitarian More than a
hundred thousand motor cars are used
by doctors as necessity in their
daily practice. One million are trucks.
'In the United States there is one
automobile for every fourteen inhabi-
tants; in Iowa and Kansas there is
one car for every six persons. The
entire population of these two States
could be moved at one time in their
own automobiles!
These figures illustrate the impor-
lance of the motor car in our national
life. The automobile is not a luxury
but a necessity More than half of all
the automobiles in the country arc
used for exclusively business purpose

German manufacturers of locomo-

derbid American manufacturers to
such an extent on the same orders as
to make the American prices appear
decidedly high.

gone to Germany. ]. {. Ankersmit,

MILLION HOMES
NEEDED IN U. s.
1000, 900 In Makeshift Homes,
Experts Say; There are Not
Many Homes For Rent at
Present Time.

Washington, ID. c Estimates
placing the shortage of houses in
America at more than l,25O,0OO will
be placed before the national council
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States at meeting to be held
in Washington, Jan. 81. and %. which
will discuss measures to relieve the
situation.
Four Million Need Better Homes.
The housing shortage, according to
John Ihider. manager of the national
chambers civic development depart
ment, has reached a point where A.
100000 persons are inadequately
housed.
''For a number of years prior to the
world war" Mr. Ihlder said today, lit
is Conservatory estimated between
100000 and 100000 family dwellings
we're erected each year This includes
houses and apartments.
In 1919 it is estimated, there were
only about 10000 houses built in the
United States. while the number
erected in 1920 probably will turn out
to have been even smaller than that
figure
Many Houss for Sale.
while it is true there are many
houses for sale, these are nearly all
now occupied by tenants. The number
of houses for rent in most communi-
ties is practically nil, and the majority
of these houses are not suitable for
the needs of the average wage Garner
A man with an income of $1,000 a
year or more does not have as much
trouble getting desirable quarters as
the wage Garner who cannot afford to
pay high rents Those earning small
salaries are the ones hardest hit by
the housing shortage 1t is for these
that decent home must be built"
