BEST FOREIGN MARKET
FOR U. S. AUTOS AFTER WAR

The best foreign market which Am.
jferioan motor oar and motor truck
; manufacturers will have after the war
j )Jb undoubtedly Russia, Bays Major M.
W f J. Phillips, iwritlng In The Power Wag
W) Km. More light pleasure cars will bo
jflj sold, proportionately, than heavy
JB onosones. Motor truck manufacturers
who make good one and ono-half and
W three-ton motor trucks can get a
'm handsome Russian business, if they go
m : Rafter it.
U Motor trucks are Beveral hundred
9 mcr cent a better bet there ndw than
9 ' )they were before the czar was dopoB-
ted. tJnder tho monarchy grafting of
W : fficlals, high taxes which Virtually
9 amounted to a lax on enterprise and
9 la merciless oppression which was
J . IcapricioUB when it contemplated the
9 ' peasant's property, all Berved to dead-
9 : Jen ambition.
9 Now, the new rulers of Russiaj the
gM 4uma, realize that prosperity and hap
j9 jplness muBt come to land through the
9 Jcncouragement of the agriculturist,
9 jfihice Russia is a country of farms.
9 h?he popular beliof is that Russia is
9 jowned by comparatively few of its in.
;'-9 'habitants. "While it is true that some
9 mobles have enormous acreage hold
.9. ings, there is a surprising number of
9ipeasants each in possession of a few
iV-acres.
ir It Ib to these small farmers that the
.motor truck salesman must address
himself, not to them individually, but
,as members of a community. For
'the motor truck in rural Russia will
almost never be owned by ah Individ.
,ual; it will be a village or neighbor
hood or townBbip affair.
The Russian has a genius for co
operative plans. There are more com
munity buying and selling organlza
tions in Russia than anywhere else
in the world, because the Russian has
learned co-operative teamwork. The
margin between starvation and safe
ty Jb so slight that Ivan had to act
with his nighbors or die of cold and
hunger. And so, while he Is so far
the intellectual inferior of the Ameri
can farmer that there is scarcely a
comparison, he is a long way ahead of
tho latter when it comes to commun
Ity action. Co-operative schemes are
so seldom successful here that those
which endure are a curiosity.
Country Is Well Adapted to Trucks.
Russia is peculiarly adapted to the
onotor truck. Railroads are so scarce
that they do not enter as a factor in
to the life of the Russian farmer, It
is a land of enormous distances where
the peasant reckohS the distance to
market not in hours, but in days. Fin
ally, most of it is leveh
At the close of the war Russia will
absorb motor trucks as a sponge ab
sorbs water, providing she Is properly
awakened to her heedB. The time
will be ripe for various reasons, in
fact, it Ib almost ripe how, for the
residents of Potrograd and other cities
are getting the craze for motor loco
motion. Motorcycles arid motor cars
are contesting with the horse for the
main thoroughfares. In the capital
the three articles most widely adver
tised and sold are American safety
razors, toothpaste and motorcycles.
It Is but a step from the motorcy
cle and the motor car to the motor
truck. The man who has been edu
cated in their use will readily take It,
when he has been shown that It
means money in his pocket. So the
cities, made familiar with motor
trucks because of their use in haullhg
troops and supplies, will accept them
for commercial purposes.
In the rural districts the motor
truck will be an economic necessity,
for Russia has spent her man-power
more lavishly than any other warring
nation, with the possible exception ot
Germany. One motor truck and driv
er will probably take the place of five
or six of the wiry little teams and
their drivers when it comes to trans
porting the harvost. The modern
Russian threshenrian will have ah
American outfit, with a motor truck
to make the long runs for fuel and1
water and to haul the grain to market.
Motor Must Replace Depleted
Man Power.
It is estimated that one-third to
one-half of the able-bodied .rural pop
ulation of Russia has boon killed ot
crippled In the war. The agonoy
which takes the place 6t five men
and ten horses and enables a com
munlty to concentrate and co-ordinate
the man power which Is left must In
evitably be secured.
The motor truck salosraan will
have eager friends In every rural
neighborhood. Returned soldiers,
who have seen the motor truck dem
onstrate its worth under conditions
unbelievably difficult, will be mission,
aries with their more conservative
friends. Many of these men will have
served as motor truck drivers.
America has peculiar advantages in
a Russian motor truck campaign and
should get the lead on competitors
and keop it The American-made mo
tor truck has distanced all foreign
.makes in war service. Almost all our
'better models are popular over there.
The Duma Ib made up In part ot
men who haVo boon In the United
StatcB. The cabinet has several in
fluential members who have lectured
here and have publicly and repeated
ly, since the czar was deposed, ex
pressed their friendship for this
country. This helps greatly. In so
far as business relations In general
are concerned, our position is better
than Germany's. We have the same
rights to Russian trade as hor other
alii ob.
fingland is unpopular with influ
ential Russian army officers, who are
likely to have a good deal to say in
the government after the war, because
she financed Russia and forced her
to use British-made motor trucks as
ohe of the concessions in return. And
this- machine did not stand up.
France has few good motor trucks, as
she devotes her attention mostly to
high-grade pleasure cars. Gorman
goods will be taboo naturally, for
trade alliances will follow 'the battle
lines after the war.
Russia at Present Not Making Trucks.
That leaves it to the United States
arid to motor trucks of Russian man
ufacture. At the present time there
are no home-made Russian motor
trucks. Prior to the war there was
but one motor vehicle factory in the
land of the czar, and that made pleas
ure cars only. The government is now
financing three groups of factories
which Will make motor carB and also
motor trucks at Warsaw. But it will
be a long timo before they will have
tho organization or tho output of any
one of half a dozen American plants.
Those who aspire to Russian trade
must play the game as the Russian
plays It or they will fall. They must
use abundant tact and good nature
in their dealings. They must be
scrupulously honest keeping tho let
ter and spirit of all agreements. They
must be willing to give long credits,
since tho Russian Is accustomed to
plenty of time In paying hiB bills.
They must keep a lavish supply ot
spare parts on Russian soil.

STSTI01 INSTALLS
ELECTRICAL DEVICE
Local motor car owners Whose cars
are equipped with electric starting and
lighting system will be Interested in
a device just Installed by the Willard
Service Station, which they recently
purchased from a Chicago concern. A
demonstration was made shbwing
Ambu, this instrument in action at
tached to a par recently. It Was in
teresting to see the almost human in
telligence of the instrument as its In
dicating arrow slowly moved this way
or that on the dial shotting certain
conditions nornyil or the location of
trouble dr faults in the electric system
on the car. Vt.
The motorists ofwOgden are fortu
nate in having access to such an in
strument. The company" charge is nominal for
a test of the entire electrical equip
ment of a car which will probably in
dicate the beginning of some trouble,
which can be qdickly corrected and
save a big expense later. AmbU not
only tells the location and kind of
trouble but also how to repair it.
So car owners need not lay up their
cars or go to the trouble and expense
of sonding parts back to the makers
of the electrical equipment.
It is said that serious derangements
of electric starting and lighting sys
I tems have been located and repaired
In 30 minutes through tile aid of this
instrument.
iTHE EFFECT OF RISING
AUTOMOBILE PIES
"Many peoplo are wondering what
effect the rising price of automobiles
will have on future sales," says L. L.
HalnB, of the Ogden Motor Car Co,
and while Hudson has not yet announc
ed an increase in price, such an in
crease must come, we know.
"The average selling price of fifty
one makes of cars on January 1 last
was 2.142.G0. The present average
price of those very same cars, which
have not been changed enough to ac
count for any such price advance, is
$2,338.79. The average increase has
been $196.19.
"If tho advances in pripes had not
been confined to automobiles, the fu
ture sales would Indeed be affected.
But just look at what has happened in
every other line and you will see paral
lel cases.
"Tho wool grower objects to paying
the hog raiser $18 a hundred for his
pork. But so also does the stockman
resent paying the prices charged for
his clothing that is now made from
wool which sells at 70 cents a pound as
against Its former price of 25 cents a
pound. However, when wool was at
its lowest figure, the hog man was get
ting about $10 a hundred and was fat
tening his stock on 85 cent corn, which,
today, la in tho aristocratic price class
of $1.75 a bushel.
"Everyone has something to sell to
someone else. When the men In the
coke ovens in Pennsylvania found the
increased cost of living was taking all
the surplus money they had planned
to lay aside by reason of their un
usualiy steady employment, they got
an increase in their wages. Then tho
price of coke wont up and thero had
to be an increase in the price of steel.
Bulldipgs cost more. Machinery ad
vanced. There was a readjustment In
prices everywhere with everyone pay
ing more than he had been accustomed
to pay and everyone receiving more
than ho had been accustomed to re
ceive "Everybody is doing more -business
than he did a year or two ago. Thoro
nre a lot of people who never before
had the money to gratify their desires.
They are now satisfying those wants."

HSPAPEfl SPACE
VALUABLE TO AUTQISTS
"Teaching people how to treat their
cars and tires is one of the most dif
ficult tasks that fall to tho manufac
turers," stated tho Bervlce manager
of tho Flsk Rubber company in ad
dressing a meeting of the tiro experts
not long ago. "Gkstting a product onto
the market Is easy compared to the
task of teaching the motorist how to
obtain the full mileage from his tires."
"However, thanks to tho valuable
assistance of tho newspapers and au
to magazines, tho man who pays the
bills lr being rapidly and profitably
educated on tho subject of how to
make two miles roll whoro only one
mile rolled before. Increased milc
1 ago on tires comes from one cause
i only, namely more careful use of tho
tire and expert attontion at tho right
timo."
"Ne-wspapers, particularly, havo
done a whole lot of good among mo
torists by disseminating useful and
instructive inforatiomn on this very
pertinent subject of "Tiro Cnro.' Tho
motorist who watches tho auto topics
i pago of his local paper can pick oit
here and thoro facts about tho caro
of tires which are gems of practical
knowlodgo, gathered by tire exports
from countless experiments and ob
' aervation. It Is money in his pookot,
1 for tho autolst to consldor such point
ers and apply them in tho protection
of hie own tires."

Raincoats are more like smnrt top
coats than ever this autumn and are
quito as varied in color and mode.
'Perhaps a Shade newer than any oth
ers are thoso of cambrone. The ma
torial is a diagonal mado cloth, wat
orproofed and trimmod with contrast
ing satin, alBo waterproofed. Tho
tans of different shades are particu
larly pretty. One with navy blue
trimming, piped with white, has deep
cuffs, collar and a trimming at tho
bottom of piped wldo foldB. The lin
ing matches tho trimming. Stitched
hats to match aro made to order.
Scotch plaid silk coats aro very good
looking and effective for the purpose,
ns aro tho other water-proofed silk
and satin materials. All follow tho
full raglan models with and without
bolts.
Full longth suede raglanB lined with
foulard silks aro self trimmod and

Those in green, blue, tan, mulborry
and brown are tho prettiest. Hats to

without pleats are to be worn exten

possibilities. A full length belted
coat of Nutria fur haa deep cuffa on
the bell sleeves, and a high convert
ible collar of skunk. The sleeves have
Windshields of the silk, and do nice

pussywillow silk with a pink floral
design over it and is finished, with a
soft puff all around tho edge. The
new fur capes fall below the waist
line and have loops to button over
so that thes form a "semi-sleeve which
makes them more practical for motor
wear. The large saddle murfs and
wide stoles are best for touring.
Hand stitched doeskin or chamois
gloves are smart for the woman who
drives her own car. The gloves are
white or pale yellow and the hand
stitching is In black. A still warmer
glove is the "two-ln-one," ft good
quality of brown dogskin with a soft
wool glove inside. The inner glove
may be removed at any time and the
outer ono worn without It if desired.
Shetland veils and scarfs aro moro
fascinating than ever this year and,
though many aro brilliant In color,
they all launder well, which makes
them excellent for touring use. Wool
scarfs and caps to match are likely
to be used again this year, as well
as the homo knitted ones that offer
a greater variety than any one may
purchase at a shop.
Green Bolivia cloth is the material
in one of the long capo coats. The
cape is full and has a scarf collar
finished with two deep silk tassels to
