Few Autos Will Be Made for Civilians This Year,
Even if War Ends Abruptly, A. FL. Institute Says

1t does not seem likely that more
than a negligible number of new
passenger automobiles will be made
available for civilians this year, &C.
cording to the Alexander Hamilton
institute. In the first place, stocks
of new cars have been practically
exhausted. In the second place, the
present prospect is that the war with
Germany and almost certainly the
war with Japan will continue through
the first half of 1915, thus delaying
the time when the industry can start
reconversion. In the third place,
even if the war should shortly come
to an end, considerable time must
elapse before the process of recon
version is completed.
Assuming an average 11-year-
life for an automobile, there will be
q, 804, 900 passenger cars in opera
ton on January /, 1916. During
1916, 2,744,0 900 cars will be scrapped,
reducing the number in operation to
10, 060, 900. This means that there will
be potential domestic demand for
1872, 600 new passenger automobiles
in 1916 since it will take that many
to restore the total number of cars
in operation to the peak figure Of

For Hungry Abroad

THE Christmas star will shine

DR.. Paul F. Douglass, president
Of American University and chair
man of United Nations War Relief
made this observation as he pointed
to charts of the food needed and
the food available for hungry peo-
piles in Europe and China to under
line his point.
At least one third of the people
in the invaded United Nations are
on the border line of malnutrition
and starvation, he said.
To send them sugar, fruit Juice

supplies, United Nations War Relief
will hold a two-day Christmas
bazaar Monday and Tuesday at the

only 80 per cent of the national
goal and 70 per cent of the goal

Commissioners Urqe
General Revision Of
D. {. Licensing Code

General revision of the licensing
code of the District to eliminate
archaic and confusing" features of
old laws and to strengthen enforce
ment of health and safety rules was
proposed to Congress yesterday by
the Commissioners.
Bills to carry out the proposals,
which were drafted by committee
of municipal officials after 10
months study, are expected to be
introduced in the House and Sen
ate this week.
One feature of the proposed legis-
lation would authorize the Commits
sioners to classify all types of living
and lodging accommodations accord
ing to the method of operation and
to fix schedules of license fees COM
mehsurate with, the costs of inspec-
ton, supervision and regulation.
Another would require prelicens-
ing inspection of buildings contain
ing public housing and those used
as places of public assembly by the
Health Department and other mu-
nicipal agencies in addition to those
having such authority under existing
law
THE purpose of this amendment" ;"
Commissioner John Russell Young
wrote to Speaker Rayburn, "is to re-
quire, before the issuance of a Ii
cense to any building containing
living or lodging quarters. of every
description, or to any place of pub
lie assembly, compliance with the
Egress Act of 1912 and compliance
with all other laws and regulations
promulgated for the protection of
life and property"
To illustrate present confusion, u
the Commissioners recalled that
present law defines an apartment
house as a building which has rooms
lin suites" occupied by three or
more families. This was adopted
long before the one-room efficiency
apartments became popular and
therefore, the city head explained
they cannot be classified as apart
ments" under the license code
though buildings containing such
units are classed as apartments un-
der zoning, health, building, plumb
ing and electrical regulations.
The only type of license that can
be issued, for such buildings is that
for rooming house although the
building obviously" is not a room
ing house, he said.
