DESIGNING OF AUTOS
OPENS UP WIDE FIELD

To the layman the designing of an
automobile may not appear like a
very formidable undertaking. He
knows there is a motor, transmits
sion, a running gear with wheels and,
at first blush, only a competent me-
chanic seems to be needed to put the
various units together.
However, in the designing depart
ment of large automobile company,
like the United States Motor CON-
pany, for instance, the problem of
creating a new car has much more
important aspects, because here it is
understood that before something
new is placed on the market no small
amount of hard work must be done
before the car can assume tangible
shape and be placed on the polished

Speeding is Costly

Speed is costly. To reverse many
many well known axioms, the saving
of time is not always a saving of
money. Fast travel, whether in trains,
motor cars, or in the space of human
life, inevitably costs something. Just
as speed increases, so the ratio of
cost runs up. Why should it be differ
ent in the case of the motor car which
is run at top speed all the time?
Driving a car at it's highest speed
all the time involves an expense be-
yond all proportion to the pleasure
obtained and always results in short
ening the life of the car that ordinarily
would cost little to maintain
Most of us know the motorist who
tears through the town with wide open
throttle. in gleefull realization of the
fact that his machine, by being pushed
to the very limit of its capabilities,
will attain and maintain a speed of
a mile minute or even more

floor Of the retailers showroom.
Formerly it used to be a sort OF
proud boast of the automobile adver-
Using man to state that his cars
were designed and built first and their
selling price found out afterward.
However, with the modern cost &C
counting system used in automobile
factories, every operation is a factor
well known in advance and, much as
the advertising man may regret this
phase, here at least is an instance
where modern factory system has
overtaken the cut and dried methods
of older days in the automobile in
dustry.
Moderate price cars Of real merit
usually are not designed by a mod
crate priced designer, for to design a
car of the quality demanded by the
public, to be sold at a moderate price,
requires designing skill and research
facilities of no mean order.
Take the case of two designers,
each producing a motor to do certain
work. Both turn out an excellent ar

bility., But one costs considerably
/ less to manufacture than the other.
Very often Il is found that the man
who produced the cheaper of the two
motors happened TO be a designer
well versed in foundry practice: he
avoided the use of too many loose

/ Core FASTING has been reduced to a
minimum; blow holes have been ar

and have been made large enough to
permit the gas TO escape freely anC
without endangering the castings by
their pressure. The result is that the
foundry cost of the motor is reduced
and that it is possible to give the
benefit of the savings to the buying
public.
The point I want to make is thai
two entire cars, designed under the
same conditions as obtained in the
production OF the two motors which
used as an illustration, may bt

Topeka is not the place to attract
visitors in summer, boosters to the con-
trary, but occasionally some interesting
people drop in to spend few weeks
with their kin, who try to make a mid
summer visitor happy in spite of the
dearth of cool retreats in our village.
Some informal parties have been given
lately for Mrs. Jack Cameron of Hous-
ton, Texas, who is visiting her COUSIN
Mrs. Harry Forbes, of Cedar Heights.
She was the guest of honor at a din
ner given by Miss Grace Page at the
Mills tea room Saturday, and at
luncheon at which Miss Joy Paxton
was hostess Friday. Miss PaXtonS
guests were: Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. G. E.
Bergson of Leavenworth, Miss Meta
Legler of Lexington, KY, Mrs. Forbes
Mrs. D. P. Paxton, Miss Gladys Cav,
and Miss Anna Burr Rice.
Mr.. David Bowie gave a dinner one
night last week at the Country clue
for Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron, and Mr.
David Page also entertained at dinner
in compliment to them at the Country
club. Mr.. Cameron, who accompanied
AIRS. Cameron to Topeka, has returned
TO Houston. Mrs. Cameron will be

young couple stopped in Topeka tic
visit their relatives on their return
from an extended trip which included
a journey to Canada, New York, Niagara
and Washington, and also taking in the
convention of medical men at San
Antonio.
Mrs Cameron is quite an interesting
young woman, typically Scotch in the
matter of rosy cheeks that no degree
of bilious Kansas summer weather can
spoil, and an unmistakable accent. She
is entertaining and vivacious, her wit
a trif1e sharp-edged, but only enough
so to give spice to her converse ton.
Like English women of the better
classes, she is keen on politics, and
her discussion of current questions is
as spirited as though she had stepped
forth from the pages of one of Mrs.
