DEMAND GROWS FOR ALL-SEASON

Vi'h the coming of the summer automobile touring season there is an in-cr-.asinjt demand this year for the inclosed tyoe of motor car. Within the riff, few vears the closed car has made THV-i ttrules In public favor a.s n alt-K'lJ-or vehicle.

I'-hitc toward the, all-season I'urin?

P'-osn or coupe is not confined to certain "cii..ns of the country is indicated in T'Tts from automobile dealers thru-

oi t the T. nited State;-,. Dealers say that in the last year or two they have experience d considerable difficulty in securing ;osed cars In quantities sufficient to

m.-tt the demand of the spring: and sutn-

n:T mouths. Tee reason for the high favor wl-h v.huh the closed type of au'omoHle is te;-ttdeii sems obv' 'u " s.iys Charl-.s I".

And comfort, after al. is the factor that most appeals to the present-day motor car owner.

"The coiiimnie - appointed a! the conference here Kruin y v i ' ! be virtually helpless in combatting ilu mnl speeu lators it" stiipnieiiis of foreign coal are permitted to continue." declared b:. J.

When the special committee, named by IV F Went of Philadelphia, of the National foal association, meets here

tomorrow, lt-wiH po into thr sp ilainr question as uell as other plants to relievo the cojtl situation. "We will have facts on hand tn ascertain the actual eiT-.t of the orders of the interstate commerce commission for great lakes and New Kngland coal at that time," JlcVan said. 'If any person goes" to the mines and purchases coal the roads must gie them cars " MoVan explained "There is no way the speculator can be shut oui by this means. If we could rid the maraet of the speculator by resolution or do anything to relieve the .-oal operator of the. unjust charges which hnv resulted from the speculators aciivlti.-s. would do it. It is a more difficult matter and practical means must be devised if we expect to reach the desired end."
