Cont Build Compact City Dwelling on
Your Spreading Green Fields.
In our great cities land is dear and
houses must be adapted TO small areas
Architects have studied how to get the
most house on a limited space because
the man of moderate means cannot af
ford to buy a big lot. City houses are
built on these condensed plans and are
very well adapted to such conditions
But we are sorry to see that some Of
these city house plans are being taken
into the country. When set into the
wide space of a farm they look out
of harmony with their surroundings.
The farmhouse should have all the
comforts and cOnvenlences of the city
house, but it should not look like the
city house. 1t should be so designed

CARBURET0R ALL RIGHT
New Chauffeur Proves To Be Re
markably Healthy.

Guy Hutchinson, secretary Of the Coroin
Motor Vehicle Corporation, tells the follow
ing story:
The late Mark Twain used to tell in his
droll way about a physician friend who
used 10 take Twain riding in his Corbin
car. At first the doctor drove and cared
for his car himself, but his practice soon
grew so large that he decided to engage a
chauffeur. and advertised for one.
THE first applicant Twain used to de-
clare, weighed about 100 pounds and was
about feet tall, and looked big enough
to pick up a car and carry it. Inasmuch
as the physician admired well built, finely
developed men, he was interested in the
applicant but doubted the latter's expert
once and technical knowledge Of automO-
biles
,.'Have YOU had any shop experience?
DO YOU know how TO care for motor,
grind valves, clean out cylinders and 50
on?' the doctor wanted to know. Do you
know how TO change tires and make ad-
iustments? Can you time a motor" To
all of which the applicant kept replying
Sure
"Stin the Corbin owner was not con-
WINGED. and said: You are such fine
specimen Of manhood I should like to en-
cage Won. but now in cases of trouble
overheating or loss Of power-for instance
what's the first thing you do when your
carburetor gets out of order"

SEEK FEDERAL AUTO LAW
A. A. A. Plans to Save Tourists
from Preyinu ConStabuIary.

Vigorous action was decided upon at
meeting Of the Legislative Board OF the
American Automobile Association held last
week ut the national headquarters, No.
437 Fifth avenue. Chairman Charles Thad-
Gus Terry presided, and he made the fol-
lowing statement as 10 the work that is 10
be undertaken:
"Thirty-seven states of the Union have
general statutes regulating motor vehicles,
and no two Of such statutes are the same.
In some important particulars they are not
even sufficiently similar TO enable the mo-
tor vehicle user engaged in interstate travel
to make a good guess as to the regulations
to which he may subject himself by cross
ing the imaginary line which separates,
geographically. one state from the other.
mo one will dissent from the proposition
that uniformity in motor vehicle regulation
Is not only expedient but in the highest de
gree desirable, and the tendency toward
such uniformity has become so strong as 10
overcome the inclination heretofore existing
on the part Of many states to assert that
uniformity should be attained by making
the laws Of all other states accord with Its
own law. II Is conceded that more harm
and Injustice are sometimes brought about
by lack Of uniformity Of laws Of the vari-
ous states than by imperfect or even bad
laws in special instances. Nowhere is this
better illustrated than i'm the case OF travel
upon the highways.
"There are two ways in which this par
ticular evil. consisting in the divergent
state laws regulating highway travel, may
be cured. one is by the enactment of a
federal registration automobile bill, and the
other by the enactment by all the states
Of a uniform motor vehicle law, exempt
| ing ron.residents from its registration pro-
visions. as does, for example the law Of
the State Of New York, provided registra-
ton has been had and license procured
under the law of the state Of the motor
vehicle users own residence.
Much progress has been made along
! both of these lines. but there remains
much yet to be done, and 1t will depend
upon the active cooperation of all members
of the board and the motor vehicle users
whom they represent and others who are
| interested in securing freedom of inter
state intercourse IN the respective sections
of tho country in which they severally re-
side.
so much has already been done in the
way of securing uniform motor vehicle
laws as TO amount to a demonstration tina;
something like perfect uniformity will be
eventually secured, and at no very distant
day"

MOTORCYCu|STS ACTIVE
Need for Six Districts Instead OF
Four Now Plain.

z. NJ. Estabrook, chairman OF the mem
bership committee OF the Federation OF
American Motorcyclists, has made the sug-
gestion that the United States be reap
portioned into six federation districts, in
stead Of the four, as they now exist. The
present districts are:
Eastern-Maine, Vermont New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Connecticut and New Jersey.
Southern-Maryland, Virginia, west VIZ
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North ana
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama
Arkansas. Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Western-Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa, MIS-
souri,, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
Colorado and New Mexico.
Pacific Coast-Idaho. Utah. Arizona, Cali
fornia. Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
AS they would be arranged according tc
would be as follows:
Eastern District-Maine, New Hampshire
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
Connecticut; New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Central or Great Lakes District-Dela
ware, Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Illinois Kentucky
and the District OF Columbia.
Southern District-Tennessee, North caro-
lima. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi. Louisiana and Arkansas
Northwestern District-Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota
North Dakota. Montana and wyoming
southwestern District-Kansas, Missouri
Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico. Texas
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Pacific Coast District-Washngton Ore
pon. California, Nevada, Idaho and Utah.
Mr.. EstabroOk says the present district:

saws. with six equally capable men at th'
head Of six or more equally divided dis
tricts. there is no question that they coulc
accomplish more, as a whole and In detail

USE PNEUMATIC TIRES
Value to Commercial Cars Being
Demonstrated.

AS the demand for commercial cars has
begun to increase, there has come to the
tire manufacturer an increasing call for
tire equipment that will allow the attain
ment Of the highest possible efficiency in the
use OF this class of car. This call is nat
ural. considering that the public has been
educated by the use OF pleasure cars con-
tanning all the speed, llghtness, durability.
etc, that could well be expected
Inasmuch as the car makers have de-
pended very largely on the tire makers
for a satisfactory tire TO aid them in the
development and refinement OF cars In gem
erai, and also admitting that II requires
the pneumatic tire In order to reach TINS
point OF refinement, It is not surprising
that to further refine the commercial car
a tire equipment should be demanded 10
help out this line
II was at first thought that solid TIRE
was needed. and these have been used on
most commercial cars UP 10 the present
time. Experience. however. has taught
that normal speeds cannot be attained oy
the use Of solid tires. also that the viDra-
ton carried 10 all parts Of the car where
solid tires are used is so great as to wreck
the mechanism long before satisfactory
length Of life has been realized.
1t is, therefore, with the thought OF max
ing It possible 10 successfully carry heaVy
loads on pneumatic tires without making
a tire so large in cross-secuonal diameter
as to be cumbersome that the idea OF
mounting two or more smaller tires on the
same wheel in dual or twin form has been
considered.
There is a limit OF weight at which
pneumatic tires, even duals, can be used'
but for cars that have a capacity up 70
two or even two and a half tons and with
the weight properly distributed, 1t Is Deing
demonstrated that pneumatics VIII give
good service and reduce the upkeep cos'
OF the car sufficiently to realize grea'
saving when the increased daily mileage
is considered.
