Partial Payment
Plan Lauded by
Automobile Man

WASlIINGTON Nov. 20.--One of
the greatest bounS to business and
cnn;r;iuti ions to the existing pros
! pcriiv of the country j. the INSTALL
mcnt selling plan, accor ling to Al
,'rcd Reeves, General Manager of
the National Automobile Chamber
al Commerce..
HccvcS said installmcnt selling
was perfectly safe to both the buy
Cr sud seller rs long as it was not
carried to extremes. He claimed IT
bad cnablcd quan,ity production and
was in Il larga measure responsible
for improved liz ny conditions.
THE installment selling plan,
hc said, "providcs a needed service
to the public supplies the article at
lower cost and helps to maintain
the high standard of living that
makes America what it is. Budget
! ing one : income makes spending
more efficient.
"It is n form of marketing, long
in use. 1t has received added at
| .tcntion with the entrance of auto
mobiles which raised the volume TO
a high figure. Because of this to-
tai there has been some uneasincss
among sound thinking people, but
more particularly among rcpresen-
tatives of industries that do not pro
fit by it and therefore do not un-
dcrstand it.
OF the $4,000, 900 worth of
goods which Reeves estimated was
purchased annually ON the install
mcnt plan, he said $3,000,000. .00G
was for automobiles. This method
of selling ears, he said, is sound
because dealers take into considera.
tion - the three G S of credit: Char
actor, Capacity to pay and Capital

The Federal authorities would not ex-
change Confederate prisoners for
Union prisoners, because such ex-
change would strengthen the South
ern armies. The record is clear on that.
There was little medicine in the prison
hospital. The United States had
made medicine contra band Of war and
there was little of the usual kinds in
the South Confederate troops and
civilians lacked medicine. Quinine
was very scarce. Recourse was had
to banks, roots, berries and leaves. 1t
is alleged that Northern civilians were
not allowed to pass the Union lines
with medicines for relatives in South
ern prisons, because the medicine
might fall into rebel hands" 1t has
been testified that food and medicine
struggled across the Union lines for
Union prisoners was given to and
used by the prisoners.
There is also the food question.
There was not enough to eat at An.
Jacksonville. There was not enough to
eat in many parts of the South. There
was hunger in the Confederate Army
in the last year of the war. though,
soldiers foraged. have read stories
of Confederate troops parching corn.
because they had nothing else to eat.
I have read stories that just before
Lees surrender at Appomattox, artil
| lery horses died on the road for want
of feed.
In the matter of fuel 1t is said that
| there was enough timber near Ander-
sonville to supply wood to the prison
ers. The answer is that no horses
| and wagons to haul it and no axes to
