By WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Supporters of the theory that a
saturation point" must soon be
reached in automobile registrations
Will see their forces f1ocking over to
join the optimists. if the prediction
comes true that the demand for the
1924 line of cars will exceed by nearly
100 per cent the combined replace
ment demand in 1928 and 1922.
The industry will not be able to
turn out 100000 new cars. and ac-
cordingly, such a radical number of new
cars will not be sold: but the decided
improvements being offered on the
present 1924 models. and announced
for those to appear, are said to be
sufficiently alluring to create a de-
to cash in for a "a regardless of
severe losses taken on old cars.
The fact of the matter is that the
industry has been keeping up its
sleeve new stimulus of sales, and
the dawn of 1924 will find the motor
lists of America spending their money
to keep in style motorwise.
Stimulating sales through changing
styles is not new to other lines of
merchandising: but the automobile
industry has been chiefly concerned
with selling the idea of owing car
and meeting that demand when Gre
ated.
Everybody Wants Car.
Conditions are different for the new
auto season. 1t is a foregone eonclu-
sion from the number of machines in
use that Americans are thoroughly
sold" on the idea of motoring. The
person who doesn't want a car. or
who doesn't take any interest in the
subject, is as far off the beaten track
as the folks who still keep wax flow
crs under glass in the parlor.
There are are millions of cars to be
but the demand is there and the man.
ufacturerS have only on turn it into
sales as needed. What no one real
lied until just recently is the fact
that by means of changing automo-
bile styles radically it is possible to
stimulate a desire on the part of every
present car owner to get rid of his
old car and buy new one.
They have talked d lot about the
sales resistance" caused by the I'M
fortunate conditions in the used-car
market. 1t has been feared that the
accomplishing stocks Of used cars
would handicap the industry and
stimulate a desire on the part of
motorists to keep their present cars
until they fell apart.
But all this very natural pessimism
has no basis of truth. They have over
looked the fact that the public's lean
ing toward economy soon topples un-
der the burning desire for something
new and better.
Yearly Losses Enormous.
Every year motorists assume losses
due to ficticious and real depreciation
running into the billions of dollars
yet the sale of new cars continue to
keep pace with production.
Assuming depreciation of 5000 per
unit on the 2.S77.200 passenger cars
produced during the fiscal year end
ing April so. 1928, il is seen that the
American public took loss of at
least approximately a half billion of
dollars i'm one year alone merely on
new cars purchased No less than an

Clue to Trouble Cause.
Then l looked at the carburetor, and
particularly at the drip pan beneath
1T. / called Smiths attention to the
fact that it was not wet with gaso-
line.
Here is your clue" i said IF the
gasoline were flowing to the carbu-
rotor as usual the fuel would food it
and leak out all over. But it is dry.
And you have plenty of gas in the
stoppage in the gas line or in the
vacuum tank. Now. let me have the
monkey wrench and well look for
this stoppage in the .most logical
place"
A few moments later had unscrew-
ed the plug at the top of the vacuum
tank and had removed the small
strainer. which is inserted where the
fuel line from the rear is attached. In
this strainer We found piece of
string.
After replacing the strainer and the
plug / cranked over the engine by
hand with the ignition shut off and
the throttle closed) until the gasoline
had been sucked into the vacuum
tank. Then Smith turned on the igni-
tion and used the starter He was
especially the fact that we used the
engines own suction to refill the vac
uum tank, whereas he had once seen
a motorist go to the trouble of refill
ing the vacuum tank by pouring gaso-
line in the top. As | told Smith. in
commenting upon this. a lot of work is
saved by using ones brain.
