During the same period of ten years, 1905-1915, the number of freight cars Increased from 1,731,409 to 2,356,338, an Increase of 621,929, or 36 per cent. In other words, tho in crease in the number of freight cars was 59 per cent, as great as tho increase in traffic. From 1915 to 191 S the traffic increased 45 per cent., yet during this period the number of freight cars in service increased only 36,632, or approximately l.G per cent. Assuming that the fame rate of in crease in the capacity of cars and the efficiency with which they were util ized prevailed during both periods the increase from 1915 to 1919 should have been 26.6 per cent., or approxi mately 607,000 cars for the Class I roads. This would indicate roughly that there is a shortage of about 570, 000 cars.' Car Needs Depends on Traffic. Continuing, The Railway Ago as serts that requirements for freight cars are dependent on future traffic and quotes an opinion of the Director Cfeneral of Railroads to the effect that "the railroads must bo prepared to handle a large business for a consider able period."

Cireat Britain, which took large numbers of commercial machines during the war period, is now apparently manufac turing them for herself, for the total value of commercial machines sent to that country has fallen from $20, 000.000 ni 1917 and nearly $7,000,000 in 1918 to only about $500,000 in 1919. Cuba is apparently appreciat ing tho auto truck, for the number sent to that island in 1919 is about 750, valued at nearly $2,000,000, as against 557 in 1918, valued at about $1,000,000. "Sixty countries and colonies took American commercial machines in 1918, the latest year for which a de tailed state ment is available, and the number of countries taking passenger machines was 80. Iceland took in 1918 40 passenger machines at a val ue of $34,000, and one commercial machine, valued at $2,245. To Slam the number of passenger machines ex ported In 1918 was 85 at a value of $75,860; to India 72 machines valued at $70,264 and 11 commercial ma chines valued at $22,000; To the far off Dutch East Indies we exported In 1918 no less than 1,260 passenger Ma chines valued at $1,567,768 and of commercial machines 154 valued at $335,536, while the figures for the calendar year 1919 indicate a total of about 2,000 machines valued at ap proximately $2,500,000. "The Imports of automobiles into tho United States, which have aggre gated $31,000,000 since the first record that of 1906, have declined from the high-water mark of $3,837,000 in 1910 to $524,709 in 1919." s of space available for automobiles be-j impassable at present ing strictly iimuen.

The engine must ho turned over more rapidly in order to get a spark from the magneto and the battery has to do much more work; for each start than it would if tha plugs were clean." "The motorist who unscrews and cleans his spark plugs every week or two will find that he has taken bl load off the battery and that he ia able to get his engine turning over in noticeably shorter time."

In most cases men safeguard their health better than women 'by eating coarser foods, 'being more out-of-doors and leading more active lives, thereby keeping their blood richer in iron and their bodies an better physical condition. The very moment a woman allows iherseir to become weak, nervous and run-down she placing a drain upon her whole system which overtaxes tne power ot the blood to renew wasted tiS3ue and keep active the natural life forces of the body. There are thousands of women who are ageing and breaking down at a time when they should be enjoying that perfect bodily health which comes from plenty of iron in the blood, simply because they are not awake to their condition. For want of iron a woman may iook ana teel haggard and all run down while at 60 or 60 with good health and plenty of iron in her blood she may still he young in teeimg and co full of life and attractiveness as to defy oetection of her real age.

Make Your Choice Now. We Will Store It For You and Insure You Against Disappointment In the light of the year just closed, it is not conjecture to assert that a shortage of Hudson and Essex cars is sure to recur this Spring. More than 22,000 Essex can were sold in the past twelve months. TThe factory capacity was increased time after time. Beginning with a daily production of 30 cars, it reached 125 cars daily. Yet we were never able to overtake advance orders. A similar condition was true with re spect to Hudson. You remember how scores waited in vain for delivery. Perhaps you were among those disappointed. Practically our entire quota of both Hudson and Essex' cars were sold weeks ahead. Few were able to get delivery who had not placed their orders ahead. ? Settle the Delivery Worry Now This year we have arranged a special plan to guarantee you delivery, during the acute spring rush of orders. It will require no large outlay of money. You can place your order now. We will have your car ready for you on the day you want it. Thus ydu dispose of all concern subout getting your Hudson or Essex when yon want it It will be a source of satisfaction to know you are insured against having to accept some less wanted car, when the season for open types crowds the market i with more buyers than we can supply. If your preference is for a light car l what choice equals the Essex ? It represents a new, unexpected value. It brings to the light car field such quality and fine performance as was hitherto found only among large costly cars. 4 . Note the (frailty of the Essex If speed is your requirement see if the"1 Essex does not meet it. Where luxury and finish are demanded compare the Essex with any car. It is needless to speak of the Hudson All know what it hn don. Its records, which prove supremacy tnroujnout the range of . performance, are confirmed by the satisfaction that more than 80,000 owners know in their Super-Sixes. The supply of Hudsons and of Essex has never been sufficient for the demand. You can only insure yourself against disappointment in getting either of these popular cars, by placing your order under the convenient plan we have set forth above. SAWYER MOTOR CO. Asheville, N.
