MATERIALS—Scarcity
The automobile industry is the na-
ti<m’s leading iiser of many raw ma
terials which ar^ essential to d^ense,
and some of which are becoming
scarce. That’s another reason why
the government has ordered a cut in
production.
This means that substitute mate
rials may soon have to be used in
automobiles. The office of production
management already has asked the
manufacturers to practice the great
est possible economy with certain
critical materials such as aluhiinum,
copper and nickel.
In addition to the great ^use of
these products which are becoming
critical in defense production, th^ in
dustry also uses enormous quanti
ties of other essential materials, such
as: 1,190,000 tons of gray iron; 595,-
000 long tons of crude rubber; 34,-

of law enforcement. A short while!
ago he was all excited over vice con-"

the sheriffs of the state he said, “If

AUTOMOBILES—Boom
Never in toe history of the auto
mobile business has there been such
a’‘demand for cars as there is today.
Big Jumps in employment and in
creases in wages, combined with
threats of the government to make it
more difficult to buy automobiles in
the future, have sent hundreds of
thousands of people rushing to their
automobile dealers to place orders.
By the end of July the number of
new cars turned out in a 12-months
period is expected to eqqal toe rec
ord production of 5,358,420 in 1920—‘
and many dealers still are weeks be
hind in getting deliveries on orders
already placed.
On toe road today there are about
27,000,000 registered cars — which is
almost 4,000,000 more than the total
registration in 1929. Of these, the
automobile population figures show
that there are over a million of seven
different makes of cars. There are
6,686,385 registered Fords, 6,460,474
Chevrolets, 2,930,450 Ply mouths,
1,500,118 Dodges, 1,422,060 Buicks,
1,239,587 Pontiacs and 1,074,270 Olds-
mboiles.
Along with the huge demand for
new automobiles, which would ordi
narily tax manufacturing facilities
to the limit, the automobile manufac
turers have been called upon to pro
duce $2,000,000,000 wmto of defense
equipment.
Public demand for new cars, plus
government demand for defense pro
duction, has again centered national
attention on toe automobile industry
— the 30-year old giant which al
ready has amazed toe world wito its
demonstration of mass production ef
ficiency and is now gearing itself to
be able to say, “You ain’t seen nothin’
yet!”
USED CARS—Popnlarlty
It looks like a big year for
used car business.
If heavy taxes on automobile pur
chases are put through, if installment
buying is curbed and ii scarcity de
velops, purchasers will more and
mdre qb their buy^ at toe used car
mkzkbts. At prmnt, it is Cs^ated
that almost haK of toe cars on toe
roi^ were purchase second hgnd.
^ iJeaters say toey have to dispose
of three u^ cars for eaCh new car
they seU. Before th^ get their i«ofit
out of a new car they must ordhuud-
ly sell a car traded in by toe original
purchaser, sell a second car traded
in by purchaser of toe first used car
and then dispose of a third used car
to the junk yard.
The Thomwell Orphanage 4-H
club will hold its second annual calf
show at 2 o’clock Saturday on toe
grounds adjoining toe orpjumage of
fice. The membership of the club is
made up of boys who work to the
dairy departmmt.
There will be five classes of ani

which will be judged according to
