DETROIT, July 20.—If the motor in- dustry were offering any prizes these days for achievements, the top purse would go to the man formulating a successful plan to remove from the highways and used-car lots 8.000,000 cars built before January 1, 1926. ‘These 8,000,000 cars represent al- most 35 per cent of the total registra- tions in_ the country. In other words, almost 35 per cent of the cars in ac- tusl or potential use are in need of replacement, if the standard figure of five years for the life of & car is ac- cepted. No Concrete Method.

The bonus method of most manu- facturers has\been to credit each dealer with 1 per cent of his new-car sales toward the jubking of old cars. For each $1,000 car' he s0ld the dealer was credited with $80 in this fund. When he had sold fivé such cars, there was $50 in the fund.

Estimates issued by the association for the years 1928, 1929 and 1930, respectively, follow: Cars junked, 2,600,000, 2,700,000, 2.200,000; junked by dealers, 370, 590,000, '700,000: junked by publ 2,230,000, 2,110,000, "1,500,000; junked by dealers, 14.23, 21 ::r"cmt Junked by public, 8 “Right now,” says a bulletin of the dealers’ association, “there is a tremen- dous clamor among dealers in all parts of the country for an increase in the ‘junker bonus’ most suggestions advo- cating & jump from 1 per cent to 5 per cent. ‘This would produce $50 per each $1.000 automobile, and each five auto- n;rx:])len sold would bring the fund to sal- Plan Would Reduce Number. “It is calculated that if the dealer could allow $250 for each of these used cars, which have a merchandise value of only $25, but which the owner prizes as belng something worth $300 or $500 to him as & user, the industry would have an excellent chance of geltng these 8.000.000 cars off the road.” Obstacles lie in the way, of course, of any such increase in the junking bonus. It would almosi necessarily call for & price increase of new cars.

By & Staff Correspondent of The Btay. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., —Charging her husband on three occasions, Mrs. Elisabeth Morris of Riverdale has filed sult in Circiit Court for a divorce from Robert Oarroll Morris of Hyattsville. The wife's bill further alleges that during their eight years of married life the husband often changed his oc- cupation with long intervals of unem- ployment between jobs. On one occasion, many of her personal effects were seized for debts contracted by Morris, she tells the court, while en another the family was forced to move at night to avoid having their furniture attached, the bill states. ‘Through attorneys J. Wilsom and Albert R. Hassall, avers that a warrant charging non- support has been served on her hus- band, and the case will be investigated by the grand jury in October.

Yet such & price increase might reduce new-car sales instead of promoting them, as the Jjunking of cars is expected to do. No matter how the junking problem is solved, the industry is already looking forward to 1932. These are the days when the engineers are busy on the models that will be shown at the next automobile show. Since only & few new models were introduced this Summer, special interest will be attached to the showing to be made next January.
