SEES ANNUAL SALE
OF 100000 CARS
Auto Company Head Predicts
Steady Output for
Years to Come.

Automobile manufacturers can ex-
pect a sales constant OF 4 1000 900
cars annually, in the opinion of John
y. WHY'S, president of the Willy-Over-
land Company. The elusive "satura-
ton point" conversational will-o'-the-
Wisp of the automotiye industry dur
ing the last few years seems entirely
to have been forgotten, Mir. WHY'S
says.
1t is stated motor vehicle ma uufdC-
turers today are giving ma jor consid-
Grafton to certain sales constants
which seem TO be definitely establish
| ing themselves. ElahoratinS upon
this point, Mr.. WHY'S says:
AT present, with $4,000 900 passen-
ger motor cars registered in this
country, it seems fairly certain that
not less than 100000 Will pass out
OF existence each year, thoroughly
worn out and Of no further use as pas
senger vehicles. Since not more than
2 per cent of the people who buy
motor cars ever discontinue their use,
this factor of 100000 constitutes q
definite replacement market with no
trade-in involved.
Present Rate of Increase.
AT the present rate of increase in
population and the achieving of indi-
vidual buying power by young men
and women annually coming into their
earning period 100000 new car buy
ers, purchasing their first automobile
with their own money, are "A certainty

present figures indicate that from
100000 TO 100000 buyers will APP
pear each year who want TO trade III
their present car on a new one.
Many of these buyers represent
people who definitely plan TO get new
car each year. Others represent peo-
pie who, through Increased incomes,
want to step out of smaller cars into
larger cars. Some represent owners

MAY MISTAKE SIGNAL.
Driver Behind Finds Risk in Inter.
preting Man Ahead.

Just because the driver in front
keep to the center of the street
while slowing down is no reason to
Imply that he is going TO make a
left turn. He may be signaling to
You to pass around him to the left or
to wait until he has completed his
maneuver. It Is risky to pass him
to the right, since 1t Is quite possible
that he is planning to turn into
driveway to the right. In order to
get a sufficient swing and to avoid
blocking traffic by backing up sew
eral times he must start turning in
from the center Of the street. The
likelihood of his turning into a drive
way is largely determined by the ma
ture of the street. Keep your eyes
open for all possibilities.

MOTOR MANUFACTURERS
SET NEW EXPORT RECORD
31.11O Cars and 1O,41O Trucks
Sent Abroad From q. S. and
Canada in December.

Continuing the progress in sales of
American automobiles abroad, the
motor vehicle manufacturers Of this
country established new export re
cords IN December both for. motor
cars and motor trucks.
There were 31,11o cars and 1oA10
trucks exported from United States
and Canadian ports. These figures do
not include the motor vehicles of
American make assembled abroad.
The gain is considered by the auto
mobile industry to be particularly
significant since December is usually
lighter In exports than the Spring
months.

Little Graphite
Frees Window
Regulators

Winter is the season of year
when the window regulators OF
the closed car are inclined to
stick. Frequently they will be
so stiff that one experiences the
sensation that the regulator
handle will break of unless
something is done to remedy the
situation. The remedy. however.
is little graphite dropped OIL
the working gears through the
window sill opening when the
window is fully lowered. Lubri-
cant can be added also through
the regulator shaft after the
handle and the cap are removed.
A mistake. however, is to look
for immediate results. The reg
uIator will continue to work
hard until the graphite has
worked in.

Lessons Skidding Dangers.

Better traction and less chance of
skidding will result from the plan of
using the tires with the rougher
threads on the right hand side of the
car. If there is any snow or ice at
all on the streets or roads it will be
nearer the sides and thus along the
path Travelled by the right wheels.

How to Heat Car Quickly.

The amount of heat given out by an
exhaust heater is directly dependent
upon the volume Of hot gas vapor
passing through the coils. The best
way to get up heat quickly is to climb
a hill in high gear. being careful not
to drive SO fast as to allow the car
to roll too freely.

Notice School Directors

To the School Directors of Randolph
County:
Dear Sirs:
The amount Of money to be amor
toned in March from the cigar and
cigarette tax win be approximately
$1.50 for each child enumerated. This
will enable many of you to have an
additional month of school. know
you agree with me that we should have
every day Of school that we possibly
can have. | know you agree that
month of school at a time when the
pupils are well settled down to their
work is worth more to them than at
any other time.
A great many children may be pro-
NOTED to another grade IL they are
given another month of school. Es-
pecially is this true of the grammar
grades. If this can be done it will
bring the average length of term some
what higher, and win therefore give
our county and state a better showing.
May l say to you that l am endeav-
oring to make more favorable and
accurate annual report of the schools
Of this county. In the past our report
has been inaccurate, because your re-
ports to me have been incomplete. May
| suggest that you require your teach
er to post his register according to
law before you give his last voucher.
l have letter from Mr. Hill, stnte
superintendent of public instruction, in
which he says that it is imperative
that our report be accurate. l quote
paragraph from his letter:
"Since this department must depend
upon the report of the county superin-
tendent for information of the schools.
1t Is imperative that we get an accu-
rate and complete report That you
may get the data for an accurate re-
port, we suggest that you have each
school file in your Office the term re-
port for the school year 1925-26. A
letter asking for an accurate and COM
plete report to each teacher who is
held responsible for the term report
would be of much aid to you in secur-
ing a report"
Trusting that 1 may have your CO.
operation In this important matter,
] am, Yours very truly,
Rufus A. Mock,
County Superintendent.
