Used Car Less Used Now.

High production of new cars and
low prices are having an interesting
effect upon the uSxc car market. un
prices so low and credit facilities so
easy the average motorist ke4ps his
new car much shorter time. whlch
is lust another way of saying that
used ears are much newer cars than
ever before.
Some owners are trading every SIN
months. Used cars are bearing cur
rent model numbers and are almost
as good as new. The original owners
could keep their cars lonGer, but SO
far thev have not been obliged to do
SO. OF course. economists warn that
this condition can not last forever.
In the meantime, the average used
car is a much better buy than 1t used
to be. 1t is a lot of transportation
which some one simply has grown
tired Of or has decided to discard in
favor of something else.
In fact, the current supply of used
cars is so attractive, the so-calied Iseot
car problem gives promise OF SOWING
itself. There are those who are look
ing far enough ahead to predict that
rnorordom soon will be worrying over
the new car problem, forgetting all
about the days when used cars pied
up in the garages along automotlVe
row. The theory Is that if the public
becomes wasteful enough of new cars
and trades frequently enough, the pur-
chase Of a used car Will be the next
thing to q new car at discount.
Obviously, this practice could not
last very long because new car pro
duction would be curbed automatically
prices would mount and buyers of new

outcome of continuation of the pres

present wave of used car bargains may
be a temporary condition. The motor

mixture in the cylinders is too rich to
fire. Return of normal operation is
merely Il question of allowing the car
to stand until the gas evaporates, but
there are several methods of clearing
the cylinders if one is in q hurry.
One is to open the petcocks, where
such conveniences are provided.
The next best way is to crank the
engine with the starter, being sure to
have throttle closed, ignition off and
choker button pushed in. Some
drivers argue that If the ignition is
kept on, whatever partial burning or
ignition of the gases takes place will
serve to clear the cylinders more
quickly. But here's the explanation:
If the ignition is switched on, and
one Ginger should fire, the sudden
speed impaired to the engine would
create additional suction, causing a
further amount of gas to suck into the
cylinders With the ignition off, the
engine turns over slowly, rids itself of
excessive gas and draws in very little
more.

Says Official.

Theories of a large and important
school of economists still are PENS

elusive. This situation exists because
the market for motor cars is limited

American people TO possess indiVidua'

Make More Money.
When any one really wants car
he seldom makes n reat sacflHce W

way 10 earn the additional money.
This is one reason why the motor

Nation all that is costs and much

The American people that the pur-
chase of a car is no longer consider

buying 4 home, the great majority
of motor cars are today bought on

will return future dividends.
Saturation Points Passed.
While economists have from time

for the motor car, these points have
all been passed and the industry is
still growing. So long as the motor
car continues like the telephone, to
contribute more than it costs to the
economical and social welfare OF the
Nation it's use will continue TO grow.
THE American Nation is keenly
alive to this fact and is today not

When the current years cars be-
come conspicuous on the used car

Officially the 1927 models are not due

situation is beginning to force an
earlier release date.
The situation is unprecedented in
the opinion Of those who have watched
such matters for years past. The pres
ent year is hardly under way and yet
the average man can go out into the
used car mart and select a 1926 model.
It is conceded, OF course, that owners
have not been taking such good care
of their property and that the eX-
