Motor That is Gaining Prominence.

Considerable speculation is being INDUCED
IN on the part of the technical papers and
IN the motor world generally as to the pros
pective influence of the two-cycle engine on
American automobile development Nat
urally there's a wide divergence of opinion
and decided strenuosity of expression on
the part of the advocates of the two types
the two-cycle and the four-cycle The
two-cycle has been more or less of an
under dog for number of years, but its
parusans are pointing with pride to the
TACT that the German commissioners at the
ST. Louis exposition, one of whom is con-
coded to be an eminent gas engine au-
thority, referred to the two-cycle as the
type from which future development might
be expected. Reduced to the simplest pos
slble the two-cycle theory is simply that of
an impulse with every revolution of the
hy-wheel with all the attendant economies
of power and expense. Its fexibiity is ex-
plotted upon and denied with equal en-
phasis by its supporters and defamers. The
most that can be said of the controversy so
far is that 1t adds to the gayety of nations.

France Rules Vanderbilt Gun Race.

The Automobile Club of France has pro-
mulgated rules for the Vanderbilt cup event
that will effectually bar many Americans
from participation in race held right at

consists in limiting Vanderbilt cup entries
to the five cars making the best showing

WILL COST OF CARS BE LEssP
Speculation as to Their Price in the
Future.

Almost every day some one predicts that
the price of automobiles will be cut in two.
Certain it is that hundreds of people are
waiting the time this price is realized be-
fore buying. If those who confidently
believe that the price of automobiles will
be lessened within the next few years will
take into consideration the fact that there
are any number of factories in this country
that are working from 1000 to 1900 men
almost night and day, and at least two
factories in Detroit who are turning out
from twenty-f five to forty cars per day,
they will readily that the cost of ma
terial, the cost of labor and overhead ex-
penses have been brought down to about as
fine a point as 1t ever will be; and until
some one solves the pneumatic tire problem
reliable automobiles that will withstand
ordinary usage will not be any less in
price than they are today. Certain it is
that none of the factories has in mind any
thing for 1906 at prices below that of this
year cars. AS a matter of fact, the ten
dency on the part of manufacturers is the
other way-some will be obliged to advance
prices. great many people have the idea
that there are great fortunes being made
by automobile factories and by dealers in
automobiles No supposition could be fur
Their from the. read facts in the case. There
are not In this country today over six or
eight out of 200 factories that are actually
making money; it is not believed that there
are twenty-five dealers out of possibly 1000
in the United States that are actually max
ing money from the commissions they get
and from repairs and storage. If those

that quite number of makers are now ey-

only possible advantage of six cylinders
would be to secure greater fleXibility in

1t is claimed that the milk of the goat

financial profit if mich goats, with pedi-

George F. Thompson, editor of the bureau
of animal industry of the Department of
Agriculture, talked interestingly on the
subject with Star reporter. He has COM
piled bulletins that have recently been
printed by the department on mich goats,
and he finds that literature of this kind is
attracting much attention and is in great

In speaking of the subject Mr.. Thomp-

THE miIch-goat industry in the United
States at this time is in its infancy: in
cipiency is the word that might better
represent the situation. 1t must necessarily
be considered an experiment here until 1t
shall have demonstrated all claims made for
1t, although centuries have come and gone
since 1t ceased to be an experiment in
Europe and Asia. There Is no question
about its success in those countries. 1t is
true however. that sometimes some things
which are successful in those countries are
not to be considered in this country, as,

Lack of Goats an Obstacle.

Mr.. Thompson says that the most seri-
Gus drawback to this industry just at this
. time is the lack of goats. There are two
million goats in the United States, but of
this number there very few that may
properly be termed milch goats. The num-
Der of pure-bred animals is less than forty
and the five persons owning these are not
selling any milk. Further importatons
cannot be made from Switzerland at this
time, as this government maintains pro-
hibitive quarantine against the ruminants
of that republic owing to the continued
presence there of foot-and-mouth disease.
Syria has excellent mixers, but that land
is far away. The safety in importing ami
mails from Italy is not certain. The goats
and the Secretary of Agriculture has said
that he will import some of these this year
for experimental purposes.

There were half a dozen of them. Solid,

were all well known In Washington. They
were on their way down the river for
