NEW YORK, Jan. 6 tP.-The New
York Federal Reserve Bank wants
to clear up a couple OF misunder-
standings about Defense savings
bonds.
II you decide to get 1000 worth,
buy one big bond instead OF 40 little
bonds. That way, an official ex-
planned. you'll save paper, time. and
leave the smaller bonds for smaller
investors. And you can cash in any
part of the big bond without losing
interest on the balance. which will
be reissued as of the original date.
The official also pointed out that
the interest rate is 20 per on series
&c" bonds, and that contrary to the
belief Of some purchasers, the re-
turn on one big bond is equal to
that on the equivalent number Of
small bonds.

duction of this metal which Is vitality
needed in our defense efforts" said
Representative White, Democrat,
Idaho, chairman of the Metals Sub
committee of the Rocky Mountain
congressional block headed by Rep
rssentative Robinson, Democrat, OF

dex COMPLIED by the National Fer

the week ended January 3, 1912, ad-
vanced to 1900 from 1875 in the

New Car Ban Ends
Jobs for Thousands
Of Statesmen
Dealers Cut Stuffs
Estimated at $50. 900
To 100000 Persons
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Writer.

ASSOCIATED PYeN Wrlter.
DETROIT, Jan. 6.-Harder hit
than the motorist by the war emer-
gency ban on passenger car produc-
ton and sales are the thousands OF
automobile statesmen for whom there
is no work under the contemplated
rationing program.
1t has been estimated authorita-
lively that by the end of January
there would be approximately ESQ.,
900 passenger vehicles in the hands
of the 1886 dealers throughout the
United States. In the final distri-
button of these units, many of
which can be seen in dealer lots or
in warehouses, the dealers probably
will net some profit on their original
investment, but there is to be no
sales promotion and consequently
no income for statesmen.
Used Cars Moved.
Used-car sales still are permitted,
and brisk sales OF good second
hand machines are being enjoyed
by new-car saleSroomS at the mo-
ment Many customers. who were
planning to purchase new autcmo-
biles just before neW-car sales were
banned by the o. P. NJ, are taking
late used models as the next best
thing.
But new-car dealers say the sec
ond-hand business is limited by
stocks, and as used cars on hand
dwindle, many new car sales estab-
lishments may close up shop, leav-
ing the used-car trading to the
established used-car dealers.
Besides the thousands of car sales
men laid off. many have voluntarily
resigned and sought other employ
ment. The number of persons en-
gagged as car statesmen has been esti-
mated variously at 10000 to 200 900.
Whatever the total, considerably
more than half of them already have
been laid of, and the remainder will
be as soon as car retailers adjust
their affairs to meet the new condi-
lions in the industry.
Workers Also Hit.
Also seriously affected are the
more than 100000 factory workers
who have been engaged in the in
dustry's production division. Slight
ly more than half this number were
recalled to produce the approx
mately 100000 units to be assem-
bled in January. but at least a Pc
riod of idleness faced all of them
with the complete suspension of car
production.
The car industry has been en-
deavoring to convert its production
facilities to armament manufacture
as rapidly as possible, but some
quarters say not all the equipment
can be so adapted even under the
most intensive effort.
The most optimistic prediction
heard in authoritative quarters is
that some of the automobile workers
will be back at work on arms pro-
duction by mid-March but that all
will not be fully employed by the
end of the present year.
