Worn out and decrepit, they cannot he turned out to graze, like their equine predecessors. Where do they go? A good many, of course, lie rusting In hnck lota In the cities and In farm yards In the country, mere memories of a day of splendor. It's an uuuaunl furin Indeed nowadays that doesnt possess one of these battered relics, tiros gone, top shattered, and hood and radiator missing, exposing the remains of an ancient motor to snow and rain.

Ancient Autos Go Under the Hammer By far the majority of t vehicles, how-eve- r, go under the hammer not that of the auctioneer, but that of the scrapper and wrerker. Ths Iron Trade Review recently went Into great detail In deacrlhlng just what becomes of these derelicts. Every smallest unit that itossesses any further nttllty in Its present form, ths article said. Is carefully salvaged for the second-hanconnter. The bulky metal finds Its way to the melting pot. while glass, hair, felt and leather are saved when they still have value. Moat of the larger rltlea, particularly New York and Chicago, have their "auto graveyards," which d are veritable arsenals of "parts." Here yonr shiny model of yore la torn, hacked or melted limb from limb. Five years ago, more or less, It stood pride-fUll-y on the floor of the automobile salesroom, alluring in Its fresh paint and marvelous coach work, sMllesa under hood and fenders, fleet of line and complete In every apiolntmenl. But now It Is through. Finish gone, fenders crumpled, upholstery soiled and ripped, lines ungainly when compared with current models. At the end of a tow line It creaks Its way to the wrecking yard. Here harsh, unsentimental hands attack It with cold chisel, hammers, and acetylene torches. The body Is stripped, cut or burned loose from the frame and thrown over on It aide. The radiator is removed, the universal joints arc severed, e chain la run around the motor, a sledge frees the subframe, and the motor swings free. One less used car hangs over the new cur market, hut there Is more steel, cast and scrap to burden an nl ready glutted market. oiher-thnn-lro- n Disposing; of Cara Becomes a Problem This Is the side of the automobile Industry which hitherto has attracted little attention. It la completely overshadowed hy the speed of the assembly line at the factory, the marvel of mass production, and the iwrsonal appeal of the new ear, both on the street and In the advertising. There la a saying that what cornea out of the m! ting pot must some day return, and the automobile proves no exception. Each year must Wlwlly the passing of more ears. The dla-- worn-ou- t, 1024 by only 2,430,000. Ttds leaves 1.300,000 vehicles to tie accounted for. Of course, a very large nundier of used cars Is shipped out of the country, but by far the greater number la scrapped. One automotive trade Journal estimate tliht fully 1.000.000 cars were scrapped last year, but this figure may lie a little high. In the country and smaller towns the Junk man buys old autoa much us he does broken form Implements. lie demolishes them In his own yard, claaMifles the scrap and sells It to the city dealers. i The front of a city wrecking yard Is usually a lurgo salesroom for parts, truly a port of missing parts. Suppose sentiment or necessity compels you to drive an "orphan" rar such as the Ace, Carnation, Glide, Nelson, American, Thomas Flyer, Mitchell, Saxon, Elmore, Pathfinder. I.osler, worn-ou- and burned cars la of wrecked an expanding problem. Slightly more than 4.300,000 cam and trucks were manufactured in the United States in 1023. Stocks on dealers' hands at the beginning of 1026 were eetlmated to he smaller than ilirute on hand In January, 1023. With exports not quite 303,000 and Imports less than 1,000, the net gitln In domestic supply was approximately 4,000,000. Yet registrations In all states last year exceeded those of mwu1 Abbot-IV- t rolt, Scrlpps-Boot- or Dolly Madison, With no factory or distribution organisation making or selling part, such ears lire only In the unite obtainable at the wrecking yard. From time to time the owper of such a vehicle appears on the scene for a gear, pinion or cylinder heed that will enable hie ancient model to wheexe Jerkily through n few more painful miles. Three Kindi of Cars Go to Junk Yard Three classes of care figure In the operation of these yards: the car that has been In a wreck and la deemed beyond repair; the car that has been through a fire, and the car that la obsolete, worn-ou- t or plain Junk.

While the luge are being loosened and the tires made ready for removal, others of the crew cut the universal Joints and loosen the spring shackles. A chain la wrapped around the motor, the aubframe freed and the motor hoisted out. The motor Is trucked to an elevator which lifts It to the motor room. After the tires are removed, the springs unfastened from both front and rear axle and frame, the frame ! ready either for the shear or the torch. Almost always these frames are In excellent physical condition, but for Just this reason no one ever needs to replace one, and they are valueless except as scrap. Light frames are cut with the alligator shear, while the heavy ones get the torch. In either case, the scrap provides heavy melting steel. The prnpellor shaft la left attarhed to the rear axle. If the springs ere not to be stocked for resale, they are thrown in with the heavy melting steel. All bolts, nuts, washers and similar small parta cans are saved. They are put up in twenty-pounto be sold for 08 cents. Spark plugs ere collected and put on the counter at fi cents each, and so on. In the motor department the scrap parts are carefully assorted.
