out of tinkering around doing
th simpler problems of car main
tenance. Hence the tool box."
"Sot let's ; clean out the junk,

It over. Here's the kit that came
with the car; or rather wat's left
of it. 1 Special tools are provided
by manufacturers for nearly every

"A smooth rnnntng motor calls
for an adequate supply of wrench
es. Here especially, only the best
will suffice. The kit should con
tain "a number; of double end
wrenches of the proper size for
your car. And speaking of
wrenches, you will bless the day
that you secure one of. the handy
socket sets ' which ; Includes a
match, handle with extension bar
and sockets to fit practically every
"hex" nut or bolt on the car."
"The tool should also contain
a heavy duty jack, good pump,
tow rope, tire chains, tire gauge
and an interrupterfjle for emer
gency use. Such a list of tools
will be fully capable ' of making
any minor repair that may be
needejd while on the road." ,
"Even though the tools never
come; in to play, there is a certain
amount of mental satisfaction in
knowing that they are there and
may be brought into operation
should they be; needed. Good tools
are insurance against costly delays
and $$jwide selection of them for

that lis at all likely to be needed
in every day motoring."-

President of Hupp Motor
Corporation Says Growth -is
i Tremendous
The value of the motor car as
a daily necessity has been strongly
emphasized i by the automotive in
dustry lor ; some years. Within
recent weeks ." several authorities
i
have declared that approximately
half tlfe distance covered by auto
mobiles ja now for business , pur

Many comparisons have been
made between the motor car and
the telephone to show the in
fluence each has tended to exert
on our daily lives. ' It is generally
agreed that these two inventions
and, more recently, the radio, are
the outstanding contributions of
the Twentieth Century.
The tremendous growth of the
automobile Iifdutry is Btrikingly
illustrated j in telephone statistics
just released by the Western Elec
tric company. They disclose that
there are : now 2,000,000 more
cars in ; use in the United States
than telephones 17,740,236
automobiles and 15,369,454 tele
phones.! i In other-words, there are
today 100 motor cars for e,very
86 telephones in this country.
Surprisingly, France has an
even greater proportion than the
United States. Latest figures
show 573. 967 motorcars in opera
tion there, against 524,592 tele
phones,! or 100 motor cars to each
'81 telephones.
No , other country has et as
many motor cars in use as tele-
j phones," though in Australia and
Great Brita n, among the larger
countries, the raton is nearly
equal. : Australia, with 258477
telephones, 203,000 motor ., cars
Great1 .Britain has jl, 045,928
phones and 778,211 automobiles.
Each will probably have more
motor cars than telephones within
two years.
The telephone has been of coi-
siderable assistance to the auto
motive i , industry in determining
markets and prospective markets
for motor cars. In some quarters
the idea has been advanced that
the two. should go hand in hand
in their development. Each has
become! a necessity in life, though
only a few years ago each was
looked !on as a luxury. The tele
phone, ;of course, is relatively in
expensive as compared to a motor
