On Dex8L 1913, It was estimated that there were only 15,545 finished cars in the hands of automobile manufacturers This represents only three days normal production three days normal sales. The market literally has been drained by the first wave of the constantly increasing tide of prosperity which Is now sweeping over the country. The situation, already acute In many cities, is bound to grow worse this spring. In 1918. the total production of cars was 1,044,754 as against 1.737,151 the previous year.

In 191 the production was 1,493,617. So last years production was the smallest since 1915. Normally, the output Increase at the rate of forty per cent, a year. Had this rate prevailed last year the output would have been two and three-quarters of a million cars, or more than double what it actually was. The growth of the automobile busi- An agreement has been reached between the engineers of the Public ert ice Commission, the Interborough Pa pH Transit Company and the I -cog Island Railroad Company by which additional provisions for access he tween Interborough Rapid Transit trains and trains of the Long Island Railroad at the Atlantic avenue ter nitnal a HI be constructed in time for the opening of the Clark street tunnel line, about April 15, which it is felt will make considerable changes In Brooklyn trafllo conditions.

The proposal for. changes at the Atlantic avenue terminal has been the subject of hearings before the commission, as it was felt that the facilities were Inadequate to handle the new trafllo which will be developed as a result of tbs structural changes which have been necessanr to accommodate the four tracks through the Atlantic avenue station Two Tracks Stub-End.

The arrangements which have been made are for the purpose of facilitating interchange of traffic betwreen the centre Island platform nr.d the Long Island Railroad station.

It Is extremely Impoitant that the people of Brooklyn who use the Atlantic avenup station of the Interborough subway grasp the significance of the changes which arc to be made In regard to the service provided In that subway. said Acting Chau man Travis H. Whitney of the Public Service Commission to-day.

Bell, of Sant Marta, aays: Rio Hacha la situated near the Calancala River, on the boundary between the Province of Padilla, of which It Is the capital, and the Ooajlra Peninsula. It one of the oldest towns In Colombia, hut, owing to Various fires, little remains of old Spanish buildings sxcept the ruins of the ancient castle now being washed by the waves of tho sea. There Is no harbor, the sea being an open roadstead and very shallow, even small sailing vessels having to anchor at a distance of 1 kilometer from the beach; and cargo handled by means of small eayuoor or large dugout canoes.

Ths town has no water supply, but an aqueduct Is under construction by private enterprise to bring in water from the River. In spite of the difficulties of shipping, Rio Hacha is a busy commercial and trading cen ter. The population is 2,000. The lands in the interior are semi arid, but subject to floods during excessive rainy seasons, the country being practically level, with little high ground. The chief Industry cattle and goat raising by ths Goajira Indiana The principal trade la with Curacao, and there is little communication with the port of Santa Marta other than that carried on by one or two schooner, which bring small shipments of hides for export.

Native Fiber Superior to Sisal. There are extensive areas covered with a species of wild "maguey, described as nature-sown plantations. The fiber is utilized by the Indians in making hammocks, and is of a finer quality than the "flque of the interior. Samples have been submitted tc Prof. Lyster H.

Dewey, fiber expert of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who classifies this plant as Furcraea macrophylla ana says samples Indicate the fiber is finer, whiter, and softer than that either of the true sisal or the hene-quen of Yucatan. So far as known, no fiber from these wild plants has been produced commercially. According to Prof.

Dawe, agricultural adviser to the Colombian Government, the possibilities of developing a new ard important Industry in district appear to be very favorable. The lands In the region of the Calancala River, excepting parta wnlcii are subject to overflow in the rainy season, are on the whole suitable for fiber cultivation. The location of these lands is also favorable, being only 7 or 8 kilometers (4 or 5 miles) from the town of Rio Hacha. They are almost level or slightly undulating. The special recommendation lies in the fact that there Is already a sufficient supply for cutting, so that extraction could be begun as soon as machinery were Installed.

Cheap labor Is obtainable, and the Calancala River would furnish ample water power. During the last few years the In ternatlonal Harvester Co. and various of the large cordage firms In the United States have been developing fiber plantations of their own. These Interests can find here an Immediate source of good fiber at a very low cost. a le After a silence of nearly six months, Mrs.

A. Dillon, of 7S Butler street, has Just learned that her nephew, Private- Chester A Farrell, of Company 106th Infantry, died In a German prison cam-p, Oct. 20, 1918. The cause assigned was heart trouble. Late in October, Private Farrell was reported by the War Department as missing In action, and it was about that time when Mrs.

Dillon received the last message from her nephew A few days ago she received a letter from Franklin Abbott, director of the Red Cross bureau of prisoners relief. that young Farrell died at Hautmont, France, behind the German lines.

AUTO INDUSTRY PLAYED BIG PART IN WAR sedans. In Its closed car line this season the National for which the Couch-Haas Company Is Brooklyn agent, features a new convertible sedan body.

There Is no denying the fact that for winter uee the open car leaves much to be desired. On bright, sunshiny winter days when the thermometer does not register too low, riding in ths open may be enjoyed, but in bitter cold weather or in rain or snow the bow top and flapping side curtains let In plenty of cold air and make the ride a very chilly one. With the National convertible sedan body it Is a different story. The top consists of a substantial hardwood frame, covered with a high quality leather and strug with strong mlrs. Needless weight, common to many closed cars and a vital Item in operating and maintenance cost, has been eliminated.

The expert body construction eliminates squeaks and rattle. In converting this sedan Into an open car, the glass In the door and centre seetton is lowered into the body wall; the rear glass Is either lowered halfway or taken out entirely to bs stored behind the tonneau. The pillars, which are readily removable, are placed In boxes under the rear seat. Four types of Btuts can are Included in the William Parkinson Company's exhibit, all finished In attractive! colors. These Include a two-passenger Bearcat," finished In AUTOMOBILES IN JAPAN.

There are 4,000 automobiles in Japan, according to J. Bryan Yama-shtta, business man and banker of that country, now here on business. The population te 45,000,000 and the small number of machines is attributed to the fact that the country has no good roads. HAPPY BOYS CLUB DANCE. The wkr taught the American people many things they did not know about themselves.

It taught them how much they loved their country way down Inside. It taught them how much they really could do and how readily they could get along without some of the things they considered necessities when their flag was in danger. American business may well be proud of the part of It played In winning the war, and among the industries at the very top of the list of those which helped Is the automobile business.

Jamaica Undeveloped Resources of Goajira Peninsula. The aloe plant requires a dry soli and is found growing wild in tho Goajira Peninsula and is one of the well-known drugs of Colombia. Near Rio Hacha there Is a small aloe plantation owned by Sr. Moises C. Enriques.

The extract la prepared on the plantation, which exported in 1915, 225 kilos (496 pounds) and In the first six months of 1916, 460 kilos (1,014 pounds). The leaves are ripe for the extraction or the drug In the dry season, when they assume a colored hue. The coast lands of the peninsula near Castilletes contain rich aepoalva of talc which we being worked for export to Venezuela, its local value being about $4 per ton. It is thought that more remunerative prices could be obtained in the United States, biu lack of transportation has prohibited anything being done in this line. The plains afford good grazing lands for cattle, but owing to the absence of water tn the dry season 1 cattle have to be moved to the rivers.

There are extensive areas covers i for outgoing West Side subway trains bound toward New York. The far platform, nearest the Fourth avenue I subway line of the B. R. T. will be used for unloading purposes for inbound West Side subway passengers.

They should also recall that the East Side subway trains will not stop at the Hoyt street station, which In fu- ture will be served only by West Side subway trains. "The Commission's ewgui.ers, following a series of hearings and as a result of numerous conferences with engineers of the Interborough and of the Long Island Railroad have evolved a plan by which additional openings are to be made In the barricade fence between the Long Island platform and the Interborough east platform at Atlantic avenue, so that congestion will be minimized on the latter platform. The eub-paa-sageway near the centre of the platform will be beat for those who desire to reach the Long Island express trains, while the passageway at the extreme southern of the platforms will serve best the passengers who desire to get to and from the Long Island local train platform. "Passengers using the B. R.

T. lines which deliver largo numbers of passengers at the Atlantic avenue station of the Interborough will also be lntereated in these changes For that reason the Commission has arranged that big signs shall be placed on the southern entrances to the Atlantic avenue station, which are most generally used by the passengers who made the change from B. R. T. surface lines.

These signs win Indicate that passengers who desire to reach the East Side subway trains should use the entrance on the south side of Flatbush avenue, while those who wish to go to New York by the West Side subway should use the ne subway entrances at the corner of Atlantic and Flat ush avenues."

Big volume took time, for at first, people were indifferent to efficiency in a motor car. But as more'people have owned automobiles and compared values, Franklin superiority became more evident. And it is not alone the splendid Franklin economy a daily delivery of to miles to the gallon of gasoline instead of 10 10,000 miles to the set of tires instead of 5,000 It is more than that for with that economy goes the sense of satisfaction in owning a really fine, efficient motor car, one that insures remarkable riding-comfort, ease and safety of handling, and capacity for long service. The public has come to realize that this kind of motoring is only possible in a car of scientific Light Weight and Flexible Construction. And these have been basic principles ot the Franklin Car for sixteen years.

'Hiat Is why you are seeing more and more Franklins running lightly, comfortably on every road in the country. And men and women who have determined to buy a motor car that will combine fineness with motoring satisfaction, are expressing their approval in actual purchase of the Franklin Americas Only Fine Light Car.
