Step OF, Starter
HCar Is Caught
On Rail Tracks

Few motorists realize what a
source OF emergency power the
electric starter-motor can be.
When caught on railroad tracks
with stalled motor the thing to
do is to place tho gears in sec
ond" and step on the starter. The
car will move OF the tracks slowly
but surely. and in half the time
that would be required to crank
the motor. Some starters make so
much noise that a train couldn't
be heard approaching while the
motor was being cranked.
A practice of relying on the
starter-motor. of course. is a good
way to get acquainted with the re-
pair shops. but 1t is assumed that
stalling on railroad CROSSINGS is
not a habit Many abuses of the
car are justtfable in an emerg-
ency; the point Is to know what
ones can be relied upon as life
savers.

fion OF available data for the auto
motive industry Of the world reveals
astonishing differences between the
situation of these two and OF other
countries At the beginning OF 1898
there were about l4.50o.ooo regis
tered motor vehicles In the world and

portion Of the annual world output of

1.-THE manufacturing skill OF
American automobile manufacturers
and especially the development OF
mass production and of consequent
low costs are among the greatest
achievements of American industry
but large-scale production is itself en-
dreiy dependent on basic factors
which lie much deeper. America has
no monopoly on the mechanical and
managerial skill requisite for mass
production. It's development requires

"a factor of great importance in
Judging the future OF the industry Is
a very large proportion OF cars

tries estimate that rs per cent OF all

brought by this method. In all cases

expenditures. purchase OF car on
time does not necessarily differ from
purchase by means OF deferred pay

car by that method hastens the time
when country or suburban life be-
comes a possibility, II may actually
assist towar4 home ownership. The
of passenger car pur-
