WHY'S Sounds Optimistic
Note for Auto Industry

An encouraging note for the automo-
bile Industry generally was sounded by
John N. WHY'S, president of the WilIys~
Overland Automobile Company. of
Toledo, Ohio, in an address before
about 200 WHY'S Overland dealers OF
this state, Connecticut and northern
New Jersey, at g get-together meeting
in the local branch house Friday last.
Increased confidence among business
men, greatly augmented bank resources
throughout the country and stoppage
OF the downward movement were cited
as three Of the reasons for this opti-
m,ism.
MIR. WHY'S said the United States
could still use 100000 more motor
cars and that the problem. when
VIII the saturation point be reached 2"
is one that can be solved by the in
dustry Itself, The exchange situation
abroad had held back automotiye ex,
ports from this country. but this was
now improving, and as an example Of
the gain in American car exports
Mr.. WHY'S said his company had ex-
ported 25S cars this month, as against
SO cars. shipped in the full month Of
September. ~

Light on Threatened Crisis i'm This Country;

were delivered to the patrons in auto
mobiles.
Motor cars, motor busses, trucks
converted into buses, motorcycles and
bicycles prevented serious tie-up of
passenger traffic. One hundred trucks
were put into passenger service be-
tween Bath and London. Long distance
service was instituted between the
southwestern counties and the larger
cities. An increase of 52 per cent in
the number, of motor vehicles going
into London was indicated by census
of one of the main roads taken by
"Motor Traction" CLondon). This in
crease. in the number of vehicles Is
only partial index Of the actual gain
in transportation, because in normal
times motor vehicle is not loaded to
capacity.
Overlooking Probable
The motor vehicles entering and
leaving New York City carry an aver
age load of 81 passengers, although
the average normal capacity would be
slightly over five, with still greater
overload possibilities.
All reports indicate that there was
a tremendous ambunt of overlooking of
British vehicles during the strike, so
that the actual passenger traffic by
this means was probably many times
normal. The vehicular census was
given as follows for Edgware Road:
New-York tribune., 1921-10-23
Discarded Cars Put to Use

An additional resource of the coun-
try was found in used cars which had
been discarded, but were pressed into
service for the crisis. Many vehicles
dating as far back as 1902 were
brought into use.
The figures of British experience
seem small to the United States. They
have but one automobile to every ITO
persons, whereas in this country there
is one to every eleven persons. Their
territory, however, is compact, which
means great advantage in the utility
of the automobile, because almost any
trip in England would be short haul
trip in the American viewpoint.
In the matter of food supply, how
ever, our. country is relatively self
sustaining from the short-haul stand
point. That is, within a few miles of
all our great cities there are rich
farming and dairying sections the sup
plies Of which can readily be handled
by car and truck where necessary. In
fact, vast amount of farm products
are now bought into market by motor
vehicle. The total tonnage hauled by
our 100000 trucks was ,200,000.0O0 in
1920. The passenger traffic of our
motor cars, based on 200 days Of use
and three passengers day, amounted
to, 4,920,000,000. SO our resources are
adequate Tor the demand.
The transportation situation in Eng
land during the strike, of course, was
not completely satisfactory, Judged by
normal standard. The motor vehicle
does not attempt to compete with the
railroad on long haul business, and,
even If it did, no improvised system of
automobiles could Immediately ,func-
tion at 100 per cent. Motor transport
abroad, however, did protect the public
essential services were carried on. In
America there are over 100000 car
owners, who with their families con-
stitute nearly half the nation; through
their associations, plus the aid of the
motor vehicle maker and dealer, they
possess the ability to see that the
whole nation does not suffer severely
from any transportation tie-up.

Further Cut ON Essex Cars

Further reduction in the price of
Essex motor cars, amounting to $3.50
and making the total reduction on these
cars since September, 1920, $500 on
open models, is announced by the Hud-
son Motor Car Company, of New York,
distributors of the Essex. This is the
second reduction since last June and
is declared by Harry Houpt local Hud-
son-Essex dealer, to reflect "advan-
tages. taken of the present and antici-
pated market conditions for next year. .
Total reductions of as much as $705
occur on some closed models Of the
Essex. Greater reliability, smoother
operation and freedom from service at
tention are claimed for the new cars
affected by the reductions.

NEW YORK. oct. 29.-Marshal
Foch captured New York yesterday
and then sped away to conquer the
rest of the country.
New York surrendered without
striking a blow. For a long time the
city had been waiting to pay off a
little Of its debt OF gratitude to the
small man in horizon blue, whose
skill and daring at martial chess had
reduced the army of Germany and
this afternoon it seized its oppor-
tunity.
Not since Dewey returned from
Manila, not since Armistice Day. did
the city's millions turn out with such
spontaniety and in such manners.
Had the hardy little Frenchman, who
led ten million soldiers to victory,
ridden up Broadway in a war chariot,
dragging captives behind him like
the emperors of Rome, he could not
have received a greater welcome
than was accorded him as he rode
| up the historic thoroughfare in a
twentieth century motor car, en-
veloped in a deluging shower Of
paper hurled from skyscraper win
dows.
From the Battery, where he was
greeted by Governor Miller, to City
Hall, where he was welcomed by
Mayor Hylan, he moved in a great
triumphal procession. after steaming
up the harbor to the boom OF guns,
the ceaseless blast of whistles, the
roar Of airplane motors, the shouts
and cheers of countless thousands.
BY his side rode General Pershing,
who in the dark days OF the war led
across the Atlantic Americas fight
ing men, who took their places un.
| der the banner Of victory.
General Pershing was the first TO
welcome his old conrade.
Upon the marshal the city con-
/ ferred it's freedom, and then he con-
tinued his triumphal march uptown.
This time it was along Fifth avenue
he motored. and Fifth avenue prov
