AUTO INDUSTRY
VITAL TO WORLD
c. c. Hanch Says Car Repre-
sents Highest Type Of In
dividuaI TRANSPORTATION.

The automotive industry is as fun
damentally vital to world progress
as is the steel industry. talk to the
contrary Notwithstanding. in the
opinion Of c. C. Hanch, vice president
of the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce and executive vice pres
ident Of the Lexington Motor Com
pany of Connersville. Ind.
Mr.. Hanch Is one Of the pioneers in
the industry. He has grown up with
It. SO to speak. Mr.. Hanch says:
Human nature has not changed.
Every man, woman and child in all
civilized countries would like to own
an automobile. This is both logical
and natural. as the automobile rep
resents the highest type of individual
transportation which the human
mind has yet conceived.
1T is just as natural to walk as 1t
is to eat, and SO long as human be-
ings walk there will be a universal
desire for efficient individual trans
portation.
Will Still Buy Autos.
WARS may come and wars may go.
but people will still buy automobiles
until some genius perfects a better
method Of transportation. Such a
genius is nowhere in sight. The au-
tomobile industry is therefore based
upon absolutely sound premises.
THE individual! wealth of the
world Is just as great as it was be-
fore the war: in fact, in some places
1t is much greater. People are not
going to quit buying because gov
ernments may be temporarily hard
UP. Human nature will respond to
the instructive desire to buy and sell
just as rapidly as 1nterferences with
their commercial intercourse are
minimized or removed.
Great Movement in United States.
at happily transpires that there is
in the United States today the great
est movement in the worlds history
looking to the removal of interfer-
ences with commercial intercourse
between the peoples of the earth.
THE consequences Of this move
ment cannot be calculated. 1t is
plain to be seen. however. that one
of the most important results will be
the lessening of the taxation burdens
OF the citizens Of the principal ma
tions. The mere prospects of lessen
ed taxation burdens will encourage
optimism and promote the buying i'm
pulse. This spells substantial sales
Of all desirable things. OF all de-
sirable things offered for sale there
is nothing on a more fundamentally

Answer. to Last Weeks asestions.

Answers to Last Weeks Questions.
l. Electric current is produced in a
storage battery by the acid in the
battery solution combining with ac-
tive material Of plates in each cell.
The material on these plates Is made
of q composition containing red lead
and sulphuric acid. used for positive
plates, and litharge and sulphuric
acid for negative plates. Active ma
terial on positive plates is called lead
peroxide, and negative plate material
is spongy metallic lead. Thus, when
acid OF the battery solution unites
with the material on the plates cleo
tricity is created chemically.
2. A tire will be less durable and
of shorter life if used under
inflated. because of the friction and
loosening effect upon it caused by
the tire bending further at its hexing
points than is intended. This in
creased bending. particularly at the
tires side walls. will tend to loosen
the rubber from the fabric beneath,
and may even separate the various
layers OF fabric if underinhation is
continued. Also there are more
chances of the tire being punetured,
as a wider surface is in contact with
the road.
3. A weak exhaust valve spring Of
an engine can cause the engine to
missfire, especially when the throttle
is closed. because the piston, not re-
ceiving a heavy charge of fuel with
closed throttle will draw open the
exhaust valve by suction, admitting

point to a record breaking attend
ance. With both shows in New
York and Chicago crowded to the

Der of people allowed in the building
at one time. At the recent New
York exhibit the doors were closed
and locked fifteen minutes after they
had been opened on the first night. so
great was the crush. Police were
called to untangle the traffic jam
in the street.
All space for exhibitors is now
Scld out. Spaces have been allotted
and the arrangement worked out in
systematic manner. Cars. in most
cases are being given final grooming
preparatory to being hauled up the

Rush Cars From Factory.
A good many dealers are expert
encing difficulty in getting their
products to this city in time for
the show. Several are making plans
TO rush the cars here from the fac
tory at the last minute and others
are sending men to the factory to
drive away the cars.
Anyway no one will be diSap-
pointed-that is. among the spec
tators-because practically all cars
will be represented and Washington
motorists and prospective motorists
can take their pick.
