''One of the helpful means in the
rapid growth of motor transportation
has been the growth Of financing facil-
tiles in the purchase of automobiles.
Through the facilities of the accept
ance corporations it is possible for "A
family to pay for its motor transporta-
ton during the first year of the serV-
ice of the vehicle, having the benefit of
1t while it is being paid for. This
method of financing needs to be con-
servatiVely handled Where companies

perienced and no one benefits But

are on the time payment basis.
zone of the most important steps in
Improvement of agricultural condi-
tions will he achieved when every
farmer has an automobile. The ne
cessity of power equipment on the
farm has long been recognized, and
any one living in a rural community
without the use of an automobile is
handicapped. In the survey referred
to earlier in this article, it was note
worthy that many Of the families
which reported ownership of two and
more cars were rural families, where
father, mother and children all needed
this kind of transportation. There re-
main approximately three million
farm families which do not as yet own
automobiles. AS agricultural condi-
lions improve, this market will become
even more important than it is today.
Many of the points which we have
been considering have applica bilty for
the commercial vehicle. The motor
bus, the motor truck and the taxicab
are all meeting a real need in our So
cial and economic scheme
The automobile industry will con
tinue in 1927 to render an economic
service to the country, and we may
look forward to it as a year of motor
transport progress"

delphia, to some degree, in Detroit, the
urgency of automobile ownership is
not as pressing as in other parts Of
the country. Those who live in these
cities must bear in mind that only u
per cent of the automobiles are own
ed in cities having 500. 900 population
or more. And even these congeSted
cities are showing a tendency to
spread outward in their residential
areas. which means additional mar

We have been going ahead in this
industry on the basis of four and a
half million vehicles, and when one
considers the total registration figure.
that production schedule seems to be
sound and conservative
General Trend Upward.
1T is conceivable that there may be
periods of slowing uh in business
which will mean that in some wears
the autOmotiVe market NAV show
signs of recession. This has occurred
twice I'm the past aside from the war
year of 1918. In 1921 and in 1924 the
production totals declined from the
preceding year, but the general trend
since the beginning of the business
mas been upward and will continue
to be-
ESPECIALLY cheering is the outlook
for trade abroad. While the domestic
market will continue TO provide the
great volume of our business. yet the
foreign field is equally as important
IN its future trade possibilities. The
point has been raised occasionally as
to whether or not our business abroad
may be transitory affair. The an
sWer TO that is simple. Human nature
is the same the world over. All the
world wants TO ride. Motor transport
pass its own way. The more cars
that are bought, the more will be
bought. In short, it is inevitable that
all the continents of the world will
buy an increasing number of automo
biles in the coming years. 1t is like
wise certain that the American prod
uct, sold at unbeatable prices. deliver
ing. power and serviCeabilty, will find
an unShakable position in the markets
of the world
Our foreign trade managers in this
industry are agreed that we shall soon
be exporting more than 1000,0 mo-
3 tor vehicles annually, and it is well
within the range of probability that
the total will reach 100000 in 1927.
L. S. Cars Low Priced.
Inc low prices or American auto
mobiles are not only a stimulus to
the foreign market, but they are an
indication of the great stability of the
domestic field. The 1914 automobile
dollar is worth S1.1s' today, while the
1914 cost living dollar will purchase
but SO cents worth of general com
modties. 1t takes fewer labor hours,
bushels of wheat, corn and other farm
products to buy an automobile today
than in 1914, Furthermore, there is
a greater variety Of low priced cars on
the market today Hence the owner
ship of one, two or more automobiles
by the American family can be much
more readily accomplished now than
in pre-war times. This holds true for
the cars in the higher priced ranges,

PREDICTS USE OF AUTO
WILL INCREASE In 1927
Charles Clifton Head of National Automobile Cham.
Der of Commerce. Sees Car for Every
Member of Family

INCREASING use of the autono
bile in every kind of tranSporta
ton service during 1927 is seer
i by Charles Clifton. president OF
the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce, who declares
there is evidence on all sides
that the motor car has advanced
from the stage of being a gen
eral convenience to a point where
living conditions are predicateC
on having this mode of travel fol
every one in the family.
The forecast that 1927 will be {
year of the two-car family is toe
limited and does not go deeply enough
into the situation. says Mr.. Clifton
who adds:
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce recently sent $4,000
queries TO families in all parts OF
the United States taken from lists
at random. Forty per cent of those
who answered stated that their fam
lilies owned more than one car. While
the hulk of these were tWo-car fam
lilies, some homes had three and four
automobiles
The significant thing, however was
not simply the number of cars owned
but the conditions which required this
multiple ownership.
"a man in Brazil, Ind, for instance
has one car for the hired men, one for
his son in business, one for himseli
in business and one for his wife
Many report that one car is used by
the children in going to school, par
ticularly where the family lives in A
rural section. On the farm many in.
stances are given where one auto
mobile is a general utility car for
hauling milk and other products. and
the other machine is used by the
family.
Four Foundation Stones.
Bearing in mind the significance OF
this situation, the strong features OF
1927 appear to be:
81. The domestic market
''2. The trade abroad.
%. The sales value of low prices
"a. Improved farm conditions
All of these suggestions are, of
, course, interrelated but ! think it is
worth while to stress particularly the
Importance of the domestic market
f. because there is frequently the ten.
dency to think that because we now
have $4,000 900 motor vehicles in the
country progress in the local field
must be at an end
As matter of fact, history of the
past 10 years has shown us conclusive.
~ that the greatest guara ntee of bust
ness Is large volume of motor
vehicle registrations. Why are these
families owning more than one car?
because the very structure of bust
ness and society is based on the as
sumption that every one has an auto.
mobile. Suburbs are built radiating
from the towns and from the rail
roads on the presumption that a
motor car will always be available
for those living in such homes. Con.
sequently. the wife and young people
need motor transportation Just as
much as the wage Garner of the
family.

country where the transportation stu.

Yale Dramatic Association. was writ
ten by Ben w. Levy in 1928 when a
student at Oxford. 1t is a humorous
satire on cotemporary manners and
characterizes the different members Of
a company of enlightened misogynists
who have declared a masculine hol-
day. with a strict ban on all women.
The scene is laid in the home Of
Hodges, a confirmed woman hater, in
Cornwall, England. He is writing
bitter essay on the immoral and ruth
less ways of a useless sex. There is
gathered there the retired army Off
