TRADE REVIVAL ARRIVES WITH ENDINESTBIKES Little Unemployment Is Prediction of Experts for This Winter. STEEL BUSINESS BOOMS Other Industries Report Decided Pickup in Respective Lines. Bn C. C. LYON WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. —America's business revival at last appears to have “turned the comer.” Virtual settlement of the Nation-wide strikes has set idle wheels in motion throughout the entire country, according to the most encouraging reports which have reached the Department of La-1 bor in months. Government statisticians are pre-1 dieting very little unemployment this winter. After a long period of business de-1 pression, stocks of all kinds are reduced and need replenishing. The | country's supply of money is abnor- j mal. It is, therefore, the opinion of I Government experts here that a period j of exceptional prosperity is opening. A big majority of States report an j actual shortage of workers in some industries, due in part to the fact that in recent weeks harvesting and road work has absorbed idle labor. With the increase in coal supply, the steel and its allied industries throughout the country are beginning to boom, while marked improvement is reported from all sections In textiles, hats, shoes, paper, jewelry and silverware. Railroad equipment concerns de- j clare they have enough orders now on j hand to keep them busy for the bal- j a nee of the year. Indications are the present year will | be the greatest in the history of the automobile Industry in spite of the temporary shutdown of Ford plants because of a coal shortage. Difficulty in shipping and the fuel shortage have made the business revival slower to start in some States, including Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas yet everywhere in these States there has been an insistent demand for more harvest hands and road workers. On the Pacific coast, shipping has improved and lumbering, canning and logging are at high tide, say reports to the department.

D OAKEINDS provide mm LIGHT CONTROL Dimming Switch Compactly Mounted on Steering Column Is Innovation. Anew headlight dimming switch i and spark throttle control mounted in a small and compact housing on the steering column are among the most unique mechanical features on the new j 1923 series of Oaklands. I The Oakland is the first automobile j to have a headlight dimming device so | placed—an innovation in the autorno- | bile world. i The dimming apparatus and the I spark and throttle control are each j operated by a lever without taking the I hand from the steering wheel. When | the amount of night driving is taken j into consideration, the value of such ; devices cannot be over-estimated. The dimmer switch, which controls the dimming of the headlamps, Is simply an electric switch mounted in this control housing and connected across the resistance coil on the ignition and 1 ghting switch, which is mounted on the instrument hoard. The levers which respectively control the advancing and retarding of, the spark and the opening and closing of the throttle are connected internally to small grooved pulleys to j which are attached flexible braided wires. These wires are led down through the center of the steering column and through flexible metal tubes j to the distributor and carburetor, respectively. To provide for quick starting win ter and summer, anew improved manifold and Oakland-Marvel carburetor have been adopted. This new carburetor has a heat control working automatically with the throttle, insuring a uniform mixture the year round under all weather conditions. Anew ; Remy distributor with a semi-auto-matic advance and retard feature j cares for all spark adjustments. Gear shifting lever has been lengthened considerably to allow for shifting j with a minimum of effort. Each of I the models is powered with the Oakland overhead valve engine built in j the Oakland plant, the only motor car- ; rying a 15,000 mile written guarantee. Purse and Sls Miss G. R.

CLEANS SPARK PLUGS Simple Attachment Protects Points From Foul Gases. When the cylinders pump oil, the spark plugs will foul. A temporary prevention is to attach a half-inch

45-degree L to the cylinder head in place of the spark plug. The plug can then be screwed into the L so that it is safe from the harmful spray of oil.

PREDICTION BY ALFRED REEVES General Manager N. A. C. C. Recently, even as critical a mind as Roger VV. Babson has pointed out that thousands of persons have been buying motor cars and moving into the suburbs. A survey of the various real estate boards by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce developed the fact that around sixty cities in the country' there are over 135,000 suburban homes depending chiefly on the motor car and the motor truck for transportation. This release of housing pressure on the cities and the settling of families on less expensive land gives promise of lower rentals, a prediction in which many leading economists of the day concur.

FULLEST IDE . RE MOTOR GAR IS 11 REALIZED Automobile Worth Twice a Much to Owner as It Was a Few Years Ago. “The motor car is worth at least twice as much to its owner today as i it was only a few years ago,” said Mr. A. P. Kemp, president of the Auburn I Automobile Company, "simply because the modern I motorist uses it more intelligently. “Just a few years ago the car was used for the little fresh air drive every i day or so, and for necessary business I trips around the community. It was a novelty and was taken out only on j such semi-special occasions. Folks ' considered it enough enjoyment mere* ly to ride along the road. Os course, thousands of motorists seem to be using their cars today merely for ting fresh air, but they are more, making their cars more valuable. They run all sorts of errands, go to market, take the children to school, make shopping trips, take trips to neighboring places to visit old friends and for picnicking. Most any motorist can tell you of at least one of two wonderful picnic places that he has searched out, perhaps twenty-five miles or more from his home. “The modern motor car Is used continuously—and, therefore, its fullest value is realized. This explains why It has come to be recognized as a necessity in most homes.”
