the conversation of two women. respec-
tive drivers Of two different automo-
biles, who have just collided with each
other (albeit maybe gently) with a
harassed traffic cop who is trying to
get head or tail out of 1t. Now, see
here, Officer. it was this way. was
proceeding down along the street here
about two and one-half miles an hour
when this, this here woman was dash
ing madly up that street and-you
must have seen her--about so miles
an hour, and then stopped instantly
right in my path. How could I help
running into her? No. absolutely
refuse to let you look at my permit
first. You look at hers first. Say, do
you know this woman here? No? Well,
what are you smiling at her for? Now,
see here officer. you tend to your busi-
ness or I will have my husband report
YOU" And when she is forced to pause
for breath, the other woman. who has
never stopped talking during the en-
tire time. now manages to make herself
inteiligible. and she says: II was COM
ing down that street at about one mile
an hour. looking to the right and left
carefully. observing everything taking
place within sight and hearing, and
watching you very carefully, Officer,
when this hussy-" "HusSy!" screams
the other. 'I will tear that imitation
hair off your head and give your face
a slap it will remember! I'll show you
who is a hussy If I wasn't lady,
etc, etc, ETC." Finally the officer gets
the crowd dispersed and persuades the
ladies to drive on their way, with in
structions to meet him in the corpora
ton counsel'S Office the next morning,
and meanwhile having tried to give
both ladies the impression that he is
strongly for her version of the affair,
and hoping to shift the burden on to
the shoulders of the corporation coun-
sci next day. but nevertheless con-
vinced that Mrs. Johnny Jones was
the one who was in the wrong.
Enter Mr.. Jones.
Now If you want to know why the
docket it crowded at court, you should
be in Lawyer Ketchem g. Cheatems
offices the next morning when enters
Mr.. Jonny Jones, and informs Lawyer
Cheatem that his wife had an accident
yesterday and he wishes to retain Law
yer Cheatem to look after his wife's
side of the matter So then Lawyer
Cheatem inquiries of Mr.. j. j. in his
business-like manner, just what we're
the circumstances leading up to this
accident. We'll" says Mr.. j. j., my
wife has had a great deal of driving
experience. At least she has ridden
with me for a long time and you
know what driver am. Of course.
she only has been driving herself about
three months, but I know she is a
very careful woman. She has had
very few accidents in that time, and the
way she tells me it all happened yes
terday was: While she was proceed

mile an hour. I believe she said, and

mentioned, the majority average from
rs to 80 per cent of Canadian material
in their construction. Specialized lines.
such as speedometerS and other fittings,
as we'll as certain electrical lines, are
not made in Canada and therefore have
to be imported Some of these lines, if
brought in solely for the use of new
cars, are free of duty.
The higher-priced automobiles are. as
a rule, imported complete. There is
not enough demand to warrant branch
factories of some of these cars. The
Packard and Stutz are two typical cars
Of this type which come IN and pay
a 2712 per cent customs duty. Cars
under $1,000 value come into Canada
with 20 per cent duty. The Cadillac
Is brought to Canada partly complete,
the General Motors plant at Oshawa
finishing the car with Canadian prod
ucts, so as to overcome some of the
customs duty. There are times when
these cars are brought over complete.
There are few English cars repre-
sentad in Canada. These, the Norris
Cowley and the Vauxhall, with the oc-
casional Rolls Royce, Sunbeam or
other English car, are brought in COM
plete, paying Is per cent duty. Other
European cars pay 25 per cent duty.
Those American concerns which have
opened up branch factories, or formed
subsidiary companies in Canada, have
founded an industry which in 1927 had
capital of $88,831 ,668. The employees
numbered 11,063. while wages and sal
aries amounted to $18,862, ,846. Against
this there was production OF 179,054
cars valued at factory prices at
SIZE, 5,904,223. Parts and accessories
made by the manufacturers of cars
totaled $12,796286 in addition, while
n concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of parts and accessories outside
of the motor car factories produced
material worth S14,801 ,470. This fig
ure does not include automobile tires
Allowed Tax Drawback.
To make more work in Canada and
increase the manufacturing of auto
mobile parts in the Dominion, it is
necessary for manufacturers of motor
cars in Canada to have at least so
per cent of their car assembled from
Canadian products. In so doing they
are allowed a drawback on the per
cent excise tax paid on materials
brought in from the United States.
This ruling came into effect last April,
the former ruling requiring only 30
per cent Canadian product manufac-
ture in order to get the drawback
This ruling also will force some of
the present manufacturers who import
their cars entirely now to open fac
tories in Canada. if they wish to COM
pete with Canadian made cars.
The n firms which are engaged in
the industry of making parts for cars
are practically all in Ontario Forty
five are in that province, 12 in British
Columbia, in Quebec, 6 in Alberta,
6 in Manitoba and / in Saskatchewan
They employ on a monthly average
nearly 5000 people. while their annual
salaries total $3.846, 1876. the amount
paid in 1927. Included in their prod
ucts are wheels, springs, bodies, tops,
bumpers, rods, tire rims, seat covers,

DANGEROUS TYPE
OF DRIVER CITED
Maryland Official Classes
"Automatic" Operator as
Second to Reckless Man.

BALTIMORE, Md. November 81
The automatic" automobile driver is
one of the most dangerous types of
drivers and runs a close second to the
reckless driver, according to E. Austin
Baurhmen, 1lotor vehicle commissioner.
Every automobile driver" says the
commissioner. should check up on
himself to c. crtain If he has acquired
the automatic driving habit.
"One of worst conditions with
which drivers have 20 contend Is one
which is rarely given thought. This
condition is the tendency Of the aver
age human being to form habits when
any activity is constantly repeated.
These activities under such circull-
stances are very apt to become purely
mechanical. The driving of, a motor
vehicle is a. constant repetition of GER
tain actions ana reactions, and it does
not take l5ng to form habit Of going
through these actions and reactions
mechanically
True, such habits may be good ones
Hence 1t is not with these tat we need
be concerned. On the other hand, they
may be very bad habits, leading to
careless operation, which is full of dan
ger at all times.
An Example Cited.
'For instance, the driver may follow
Che same route day after day in his
driving experience and encounter no
untoward circumstance. there Is the
beginning of reactionary -labit-a
habit not to expect untoward circum-
stances. Hence when Some day the
untoward circumstance bobs up that
driver is not prepared for it nor
trained to meet it. He is not in the
habit Of having things happen at that
point which he had ssways heretofore
considered an entirely safe place.
Analysis of motor vehicle accidents
covering a period of number Of years
shows an entirely disproportionate
number of drivers who have had sew
eral years driving experience who are
their driving has become an automatic
habit and they failed to recognize da-.-
gerous conditions until too late to avoid
disaster Accident reports are moncto-
nous in their repetition of such phases
as I tried to swing or change my
course to avoid striking him or Tt was
too late to stop when saw him
tomato Habit Stressed.
Careful weighing Of the facts show
the prevalence of automatic driving
habits. Comfortably seated in the We
hicle, with the controls simnlifled and
easily operated, the automatic driver
apparently operates with no more re-
gard for his surroundings than If he
werc passenger in the vehicle Such
drivers give the impression of care
less operation, and their manner of
driving may appear to border on reck-
lessness.
II would urge drivers when next they
ere out to check up on their own
method Of operation. For instance,
how do you pass across intersections?
Pedestrians il the street? How do you
traverse curves and make turns? How
90 you pass other vehicles? In wet
we-ther do you make allowance for
reduced tractive force due to slippery
highways and slow down to avoid skid
ding?
Conscientious check of this nature
on your driving habits will produce re-
suits which will probably surprise you"

Manitoba Licenses Gain.

WINNIPEG, Canada Especially 1T is
announced that approximately $1,000
automobile licenses have been issued in
Manitoba during the first nine months
of 1928-approximately 1000 more than
were issued during the whole of 1927,
when there was total of 62,127.
The 1928 figures include $500 truck

SWIFT PROGRESS IS REPORTED
IN CANADIAN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Ten Concerns Engaged Actively in Auto
and Truck Manufacture and As
sembly In Dominion.

THE automobile industry In Canada
is going ahead with leaps and bounds.
For the first eight months of this year,
ending August 81, 181 ,459 cars were
manufactured and assembled, as COM
pared to 150,321 cars during the same
period last year. The factory sales
value Of these cars amounted to $116,-
209.341. compared to S96,757,055 In
1927 Of the cars made this year 129,-
$50 were made for Canadian consump-
ton, the remainder being for export.
There are 10 active concerns engaged
in the manufacture and assembly of
motor cars and trucks in the Dominion.
Included in the cars turned out in
Canada are the Chrysler. Dodge. Du-
rant Star, Ford, Chevrolet, La Sale,
Buick. Oakland. Oldsmobile, Erskine,
Studebaker, Willys Knight, Overland
M. c., Gotfredson. International and
National trucks are also made in the
Dominion
The headquarters of the motor car
industry in Canada is opposite that of
the United States, near Windsor, On
tario, which is across the river from
Detroit. Here the Chrysler, Ford, Got
fredson and Studebaker have their fac
tories. OshaWa, east of Toronto, Is
practically General Motors city. To-
ronto has the plants of Dodge, Durant
and the WHY'S Overland, while the IN
