HOW WILL CAR STAND Up?
This Is One of Questions 0ut-of-Town
Man Will Ask When PurchaS-
ing Auto.

Not even the most experienced motor
car salesman could make list of all
the matters that go to influence the buy
er Of a car in making his choice, is a
statement made by Frank Botterill
However, there are some matters that
almost every buyer is interested in, and
one OF these is, How does this car rank
in its home territory"
To the buyer this question serves to
cover a mass of information. The man
who lives at a distance from the city
where car is manufactured is con-
cerned, principally, with how the car
will stand up, and how far the company
and the dealer will 80 in backing it UP.
But the man living in or near the city
where the car is made, has a more init
mate knowledge of conditions. In the
great majority of cases, he knows the
officials of the manufacturing concern,
knows the factory behind the car, its
methods and the material it uses, and a
number Of other things; a knowledge
OF which could only be gained through
personal observation.
Recently list Of the licenses granted
in western New York for a period of a
little over two years was compiled. 1t
showed that of the cars of approximate
iy the same price, S83 cars Of six makes
had been given numbers by the state
OF this number 430, or 4S.7 per cent,
were Pierce-ATrows. The others, five
makes in all, had 453 cars in western
New York. or 51.3 per cent. The great
est number Of any one make aside from
the Pierce-ArrOw, was 252, or 2S.5 per
cent, this car being one made in the
same territory. The others ranged from
ninety-six cars, or 10.9 per cent, down
to four cars, or 4 per cent.

INNOVATION IS TRIED
ON PEERLESS MODEL

Peerless cars with left-hand steer, an
innovation n exclusive motor car circles.
are announced by the Peerless Motor Car
company. Decidedly hobby and attrac-
tive IN appearance is this new machine
and perhaps it is the forerunner of other
innovations of the same kind.
Unlike any car ever built however, is
the position of the lever and brake. This
has been placed in the center Of the
front seat space and to the right OF the
driver Here the builders Of high-priced
cars have scored a decided point There
are other cars with left-hand steer. There
Is no other with a left-hand steer and yet
with the levers on the right side In the

on the LETT, but his operating levels are
on his right, and ne can drive in exactly
the same way as he did when seated on
the right side.

EUROPE'S TRADE LOSS
Reports Showing It Has Not Been
Prosperous Year Over the
Pond.

American manufacturers have been free
in past years to admit their indebtedness
to Europe for it's share in the develop
ment of the motor car Matters of de-
sign, however, are not the only ones from
which they might draw lessons. In Eu-
rope the shares Of a number of COM
panies are listed on exchanges, and by
reason Of that fact their annual reports
are made public. Reports from several
companies whose stock Is listed show in
a clear-cut and most conclusive way
what overproduction has done across the
Atlantic.
The Financial Times reports show that
in the amount Of net profits seven Euro
pean companies showed a loss of 1921. 600
for the season of 1869 over the season of
1923 In the amount carried forward the
season of 1907-S shows an excess over
1859 Of SCI, 415. The story of the dividends
is also an interesting one, and should tend
to show that the stories of vast profits
in the motor car industry are not very
well founded. In 1913 the seven COM
panies paid an average Of rs per cent to
the stockholders, but that over-produc-
ton served as even a greater blight than
money stringency the dividends for I9Os-9,
when these same companies paid an aver
age of only 4.2S per cent, shows in con-
elusive manner.

been surprised at the number of orders.
Such has been the magnitude of this
increasing demand. that in several in
stances the factory officials, after max
Ing out their schedules for the output of
cars, were compelled to increase these
from 1 200 to 1000 cars per year. This
has been the case with the StuGebaker
company.
EIectrics Increase in Number.
"The increase in the number of cleo
trio vehicles in this immediate vicinity
has been apparent during the past few
months. For a long time there were
hundreds Of people who labOred under
the delusion that because of the billy
country surrounding Salt Lake that the
electric was not suited for travel in this
section. This theory, however, has been
destroyed by the people from other sec
lions which are just as billy, who use
their cars daily and without trouble
throughout the hills of Salt Lake coun-
ty. Reports from the coast show that
the electric is replacing the gasoline
machine in many instances. The people
there find il more convenient to care
for an electric, and find also that the
service is just as good. The electric is
ready for use at all times.
'The economy Of maintaining such
vehicles as the Studebaker electric is
unquestionable. The design of the
Studebaker is not only artistic from
every view point, but is unique in that
it does not compel the owner to pay for
and carry along with him a power plant
and battery vastly in excess Of his re-
quiTements, which is the case with some
of the cars, in order to meet with con-
ditions which might occur once in two
or three years. There are many who
have had the opportunity to appreciate
the economy in the use of the electric

ELECTRIC AUTOS
FIND READY SALE
In Few Years Demand Will Be
Greater Than Supply, Says
Dealer.

In few years the demand for cleo
trio machines will be so great that the
manufacturers will find it difficult to
supply the demand, according to S. D.
Reid, sales manager for the Studebaker
Brothers company Of Titan. The de-
mand in the western country is to be
especially great, he said. At first it was
the common opinion that the electric
would lot climb the hills as good as
gasoline machines, but this theory has
all been exploded by demonstrations
made by people who own the electric
cars
THE future of the electric automo-
bile is assured" said Mr. Reid. THE
western country Will see more electrics
this year than ever before, and in a few
years there will be fewer Of other cars
and more electrics used in Salt Lake.

.OLDFIELD HAS NEW CAR
Benz Racer Bought by the Well
Known Driver, Who Expects to
Break Many Records.

Barney Oldfeld has purchased out
right the new German Benz racing car
which Hemery drove at worlds record
speed over the Brooklands track In
England.
Jesse FrOehliCh, managing director of
the Benz Auto Import company, has
announced that he has sold the car to
Oldfield for $4,000 and that in the fu-
ture Barney would have entire charge
Of the recOrd-breaker.
1t will be recalled that Oldfeld pur-
chased last August the 120 horsepower
Benz which Hemery drove in the Sa-
vannah grand prize race, and during
the past few months he broke with it
thirty-One circular track records pre-
viOusly held by DePalma and the Fiat
Cyclone.
Barney OIdfeld said recently; 81
have bought with my own money, good
coin Of the realm that I made by driv-
ing racing automobiles, the new

this monster in all contests to which il
is eligible during the Sc. son, and on all
sorts Of tracks, provided there is a SUI
fcient amount Of prize money hung I'D
to make it a good business proposition
and give a satisfactory return on nv
investment. When a racing driver in
vests $4,000 in one car alone and takes
all theechances of smashing the car, as
well as his own neck, money alone
should tempt him to race. I am in the
racing game to stay for few years, at
least, and I can show in no palmer
manner that I am sincere in my deter
minatiOn to beat the best of them
than by making the investment I made
today. My experience with the I20

Answers tOQueries

Observation-Disclosures City. Why Is it that
the locomotive whistle changes in pitch it
approaches or racedes from person standing
at a fixed point?
The tone of a locomotive whistle
rises very suddenly and sharply as the
locomotive rushes up to one. The pitch
falls again as the locomotive rushes
away. The effect is due to wave
lengths of the sound. The velocity of
the locomotive is added to the sound in
approach and subtracted in recession
So the wave lengths are shorter as the
engine approaches, This is called Dop-
piers principle and may be found more
fully explained in advanced textbooks.
