The madeâ€"inâ€"Canada automoâ€" An analysis of these figures really presents some astonishing facts. It shows that one out of every 23 perâ€" sons in Canada is the owner of a motâ€" eor car. When it is considered that latest available figures show that there is in lexcess of 6,000,000 ‘cars in use in the United States, or one car for every twenty people, the possibilities of the Dominion of Cang@da as a motâ€" oring nation will be readily appreciatâ€" ed. At the present time Canada ranks second in the countries of the world in the number of cars operated, and also has second position in the total number of cars according to populaâ€" tion. In England‘there are only about 180,000, orone motor for each 268 inhabitants; in France there is one car for every 402 people; Germany, one car for every 684 people; Italy, one car for every 1,000 people; Austria, one car for every 2,700 people, and Russia, one car for every 5,300 inhabiâ€" tants.. No figures that could be comâ€" piled would represent in more concluâ€" sive fashion the amazing growth of the ‘ automobile and its popularity in the Dominion of Canada. The registraâ€" tions for the aboveâ€"mentioned counâ€" tries have been published from time to time, but it must be borne in mind that that census included an enormous number, of motorcycles, which are exâ€" tremely popular in those European countries, and by excluding them in the compilation the results place the United States first, Canada second and Great Britain third, in the number of motor cars owned throughout the wohle world., Ontario the Empire Province Registrations in Canada are inâ€" creagsing: at the rate of close ‘to 13 per cent., each Province making. a material gain over the previous year. Ontario continues to be the banner Provincee with 127,860 passenger cars, 11,428 motor trucks, and 5,516. motorâ€" cycles, with Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec following in the order named. Taking an average for the whole Dominion, the rural class own more than kalf of the total regiâ€" stration of cars, and in the prairie provinces’this percentage is still highâ€" ‘OGhe New tIng Only a scant few years ago the @anadian motor industry was considâ€" ered almost negligible. Toâ€"day the automotive industry in <‘this country employs more than fifteen thousand workers, and represents an investment of approximately fifty million dollars, which is almost double the capitalizaâ€" tion of one of the largest locomotive eoncerns in the Dominion. Last year the total value of sailes amounted to ever one hundred million dollars, and the payâ€"roll exceeded fifteen million dollars, During 1919 more than 94,â€" #00 Canadian motor vehicles were. manufactured and it is safe to say this figure will be increased for 1920 Bby nearly 35 per cent. The latest registration figures show that there are now close to 350,000 motor veâ€" Ricles in operation in the Dominion. Few people realize the magnitude and prosperity of the automobile and accessory industry in Canada. There is nothing more impressive and strikâ€" ing in the growth of this Canadian inâ€" dustry than the statistics showing the annual registration of passenger cars and trucks in the nine Provinces and the extent of value involved in proâ€" duction.

SMITH The chestnut tree long since has died, The smith does not repine, His humble shop has grown into A building large and fine. And it bears "Garage" above the door, On a large electric sign. He goes each morning to the bank, And salts away his cash, A high silk hat and long frock coat, Help him to cut a dash, But the owner, and the chauffeur, too, Their teeth all vainly gnash. â€" The children, going home from school, Look in at the open door; They like to see him make his bills, And hear the owners roar, And the chauffeurs weep as they deâ€" clare, ~They ne‘er paid that before. Behind the village blacksmith is The portal of his shop. The shop is very large in size,‘ With a tiled roof on top. And the owner, and the chauffeur, too, At it were glad to stop. The village blacksmith puffs his weed And smiles a smile of cheer, The while his helpers pump the tires, And monkey at the gear. And the owner, and the chaffeur, too, Stand reverently near. The village blacksmith smiles with glee i lae As he lights his fat cigar, He tells his helpers what to do ‘ \ To straighten up the car. And the owner and the chauffeur, too, Stand humbly where they are. Under a costly canopy The village blacksmith sits. Before him is a touring car Broken to little bits. & And the owner and the chauffer, too Have almost lost their wits. The automobile and accessory inâ€" dustry in Canada may be said to be practically confined to this Province. In Toronto there are a number _ of automobile factories. Only one motot car factoryâ€"the WillysOverlandâ€" is located here, but there are several auâ€" tomobile tire plants, and . numerous companies manufacturing automobile accessories such as storage batteries horns, lamps, floor carpets, bumpers, chains, tools, enamels, paints, finishes etc. At Oshawa there are three largo plants of the General Motors Corporaâ€" tion of Canada, where the McLaugh:â€" lin, Chevrolet and Oldsmobile cars are manufactured. During the past yeat expensive ~construction plans have been carried out at that town involyâ€" ing the expenditure of close on to three million dollars, including the. building of nearly 75 workmen‘s houâ€" ses,.> At, Walkerville and Ford City the same building‘ activity was eviâ€" dent in 1919 as in Oshawa, nearly 5 million doliars was spent in constructâ€" ing automobile plants and block on block or workmen‘s homes. These houses are to be sold to the employees on a deferred payment plan, ranging in price from $5,000 to $10,000 each. Other centres in which cars are manufactured are Kitchener, Chatâ€" ham, â€" London, Hamilton,. Brockvill¢ and Montreal. bile is a reality, for substantial facâ€" tories for the production of motor enâ€" gines, mofor accessories and rubber tires have been built and manufacâ€" turers have invested more than fifty million dollars in this Canadian indusâ€" try as aforementioned.

FORD HEADLIGET Adjoining the school yard is the Ford Athletic Field where there are sixteen tennis courts, baseball fields, a skating pond, football grounds, toâ€" gether with considerable gymnasium It must not be inferred that those men who are learning trades do all their learning in the school. They do not. Periodically so many times a week they attend the classes to learn theory but the experience they gain from actual work in the factory. Pracâ€" tice, and theory proceed together and all of the time the students, be they men or‘boys, are working on actual parts for the Fosd miachinery or the Ford car, and they are being paid the regular wage. of the ‘"Help the other fellow" Spirit have been called to the work of teachâ€" ing other Ford men.

This latter part of the school is known as the Henry Ford Trade School and is regularly . incorporated under the Michigan Laws J as a private school. The employer is always pleased to find a Selfâ€"Starter. The highest type of trained thinker on â€" constructive and systematic lines is rare.. He is the type or executive who builds a big business by logical methods or organization and development. The enrollment of the Ford Motor Company‘s Americanization and Yoâ€" cational School in Detroit has passed the 3,000 mark. There are four courâ€" ses available to Ford men: The Engâ€" lish course, Trade School, â€"Service Course and Toolmakers School. A four storey, 30 room building is ocâ€" cupied almost entirely by the educaâ€" tional activities of the Ford Motor _ The question asked by the wideâ€" awake employer is not ‘"What is a Selfâ€"Starter?""â€"it is "Where is a Selfâ€" Starter ?‘‘ FORD EMPLOYEES $40,000 a year for thinking. The company would like very much to find others who can think like he does. He is a Selfâ€"Starter. The man who thinks produces ideas that mean money for the firmâ€"and as a natural sequence, money for himâ€" self. One of the largest manufacturing concerns on this continent has hangâ€" ing in conspicuous places around the walls of its offices and factory, white placards, each bearing in bold black lettering, the word "THINK." At the office window of a worldâ€" known corporation in New York City a certain prominent official may freâ€" quently be observed. Apparently he is standing there gazing idly into the busy thoroughfare for want of someâ€" thing useful to do. That suggestion is misleading. The man is rapt in thought.. He draws down a salary of $40,000 a year for thinkins. Others are not quite in that cateâ€" gory," nevertheless. they require conâ€" tinual priming. But there are still others who never get off to a real start. They stall on the slightest proâ€" vocation. Some men are as hard to get started as an eight year old automobile on one of those mornings when the merâ€" cury in the thermometer is cavorting around the ten below zero mark. B The Selfâ€"Starter is the man who thinks for himselfâ€"who has the much desired quality known and widely reâ€" spected as "initiative." What is a selfâ€"starter? The Boss will say at once that the Selfâ€"Starter is the man he wants to meet. . The Selfâ€"Starter is always in demand. In Scandinavian countries the Dan ish "gummiringer‘"‘"â€"rubber ringâ€" i used. \ Tires are "neumaticos" in Chile and Argenting, while in Mexico they are "liantas‘‘ and in Cuba *‘"gomas." In Brazil, where Portuguese is genâ€" erally spoken, the word is "pneumaâ€" ticos." The French word "pneus" is a con traction of pneumatiques. A tire,, like | Shakespeare‘s â€" roge, may be called by any other name, and it does have some odd names in other parts of the world. In Great Britain and its possessions the spelling is invariably.> ‘tyre," exâ€" cept here in Canada. 1 TIRE IS A TIRE his ‘€x are working on actual Ford machinery or the they are being paid the SELE STARTER HARMS RABBIT IN ANY LANGUAGE ATTEND SCHOOL e with his tells â€" the ye on aI n The seatin biles in use i loss than 30, Chicago h Gus) with a. srely enclost _â€"..)_ Clean ‘Carbon AVith Cloth _ Clean off «carhon _ with a / cloth dipped in gasoline, or a brush may be used. â€" Touchs,up« the points. of plugs with emeéery cloth, but do not touchâ€"emery‘ to glazer porcelain as it scratches and makes it soot up all the.more rapidly" _A cracked ‘cora must be replaced. + lon. ‘ On the other hand the 74 gas thatewe once‘sgot . weighs pounds and tweH“q ounces to ‘the lon, : t3 onpem Gasoline Weights © Car owners may be interested ‘ to know that 64 test gasoline, which is about what we get now, weighs half an oun(;g, over. six pounds to the ical~ Explanation of Clutch The clutch is a mechanical hand which holds the engine shaft and the drive. shaft together when the car is going and lets go and separates them when the car is not going and the enâ€" gine. is Glycerine of the best quality, ap: plied to the leather facing of cone clutches, gives the "takeh old" which is often lacking. ‘If the clutch _ is fierce in taking hold, add a little graâ€" phite to the glycerine. 18 dry cow to two cows in milk.

The . records for 1919, just compiled, show that there were 127,860 passenger cars in operâ€" ation during the year, an increase of more. than 26,000‘ over 1918. There were 114428 trucks and 5516 motorcycles. . Of the passenger cars licensed over a third were cityâ€"ownâ€" edâ€"46,614,.. compared with _ 80,898 owned outside of the cities. Toronto has 21,747 passenger cars and 4390 trucks. The returns indicate that the cities contributed slightly more to the motor license revenue than the farmâ€" ers. The latter own 46,997 cars, or slightly more than those owned in the cities, but the cities have more big, expensive â€" cars, which _ contribute more largely to the revenue. It will be a surprise to some folk to know that men engaged in the _ skilled trades own more cars than the busiâ€" ness men of Ontario, the figures beâ€" ing 15,042 to 13,837, doctors own 3157 cars, manufacturers 4362, and other professions 5119. When an engine has been standâ€" ing idle for several days, so that it is reasonably sure that the cylinder wells are dry, it is a very sensible precaution to inject a couple of teaâ€" spoonfuls of cyiinder oil into each cylinder by way of â€"the petâ€"cocks, and then turn the éngine over a few times.. This oil prevents any danger of scoring and also assists in getting good compression. Motorists are warned that after next Monday, February 9, the time limit for using last year‘s motor vehiâ€" cle markers expires. As a matter of fact, the use of these license plates terminated on January 1 this year, but an extension of nearly six weeks has been allowed to permit motorists to obtain the 1920 plates. Deputy Chief of Police Dickson states that sumâ€" monses will be issued to offnders who are caught using the 1919 license plate after next Monday, 1919 AUTO PLATES Several blank assignments would probably have to be provided as an intergal part of each abstract to perâ€" mit of the sale of the car and to proâ€" tect the dealers. When the car is sold assignment would be made on one of the blanks to the new owner before a commissioner for taking affidavits and signed by two witnesses. Each sucâ€" cessive owner would sign his own name for identification as grantee in the assignment of the title to himself. To make the plan more effective, he suggests that the certificate of title be required to be shown at gasoâ€" line filling stations before fuel could be bought, at repair shops before reâ€" pairs would be lawfully made, and at garages before the propriector could accept the car for storage. The abâ€" stract would also have to accompany the application for a certificate of registration, _A penalty should be provided to apply to persons furnishâ€" ing any of the above service on motor cars without first requesting and seâ€" curing the written‘ evidence of title. \ "Having had much experience in legal abstracts of title to real estate," states a lawyer in this city, "it occurs to me that, if a similar procedure were followed with regard to the title of motor cars the theft of automobiles might be materially reduced. The posâ€" session .of a car without its corresâ€" ponding written evidence would, to my mind, present a situation difficult for the unlawful possessor to overcome." wWOULD CHECK UP Making Clutch Take Hold A Sensible Precaution GO TO SCRAP HE city of all automoâ€" w type of motor upper deck enâ€" THEFT OPFP MOTORS it d States is not test Seventyâ€"seven per cent. of all the motor cars in use in the United States cost less than $1,000 each.
