course his first consideration should be

as much as possible, Then the unltS
should be- SO designed that in the event
that Is should go 10 the repair shop
because OF ignorance or through an
accident repairs may be made with
as Htile tool equipment as possible.
The designer should he exceptionally

aat are likely % DE misplaced, he
should use as few sizes Of bolts and
nuts RS is practical; and dowel pins
should bee used fer the proper locating
&c ma@netos, starters and the Ike, SO
that alignment with be maintained and
the parts easily put together when the
ut-r-5tStof4stt repairs or requirements
have been made.
"All of the wiring to starters and
magnetos should be plainly marked,
preferably with different coiored wiz
ing. and everything should be mount
cd on the chassis and dash SO that the
body may be removed without inter-
fering with any of the vital parts of
the car when the body is removed in
other words so that the car Is conn
plete and ready to operate without the
body. l am sorry to say that since
electrical starters and lighting dyna-
mos are coming into more general use,
some designers have Ventured TO at
tach much of the wiring to the body,
thus causing endless trouble to the re-
pair man when repairs have TO bs
made to the general construction
which necessitate the removal of the
body.
"The makers who will suffer the
most are those who manufacture in
large quantities, for their cars go into
the sparsely settled districts where
mechanical Ignorance prevails. l know
that the makers of many of the high
priced cars construct their bodies with
Integral dashes. They succeed at this,
very true. for they can do this very
much better than the ether fellow who
manufactures low priced car
"Most ef the high priced ears are in
the hands OF users who are able To en-
ploy intelligent and capable drivers
who have had in many eases factory
experience and who are always on
hand when repairs ARE made, at least
when such repairs are not made in
the service department OF the manu-
facturer This is not the case with
tho man who operates his own car.
This man generally hunts up the re-
pair man who has the reputation for
doing lhe most work for the least
money, and he generally takes so much
time to do the job that he is ashamed
to charge for the time. where he should
be ashamed of the work he has done.
VERY true the designer must design
for profit. but he must also have in

ut is my belief that everything pos

electric starter. Simpiihcation is espe-
cially needful with respect to the
method of attaching the starter 70 the

experienced may he able TO dtsmantie
the entire equipment or any part OF IL
without fear OF not being able to put
it together again. This same care
should be taken because of thoughtieSs
people who take things apart and have
not the capacity TO nlemorize what the
things looked like when they firSt
started upon the work of unintentional
destruction.
II realize that this is sometimes un-
avoidable. as many times cars are used
in places which are many miles from
modern machine shops and experienced
repair men. Since the new electrical
devices now being fitted are generally
the creations OF individuals who work
upon varying lines. however. IL brings
about complications that are al times
difficult for the ordinary man to grasp.
Another thing i would recommend
That the makers who supply cars fitted
with electrical starter and lighting
equipment have diagrams and simple
INSTRUCTIONS printed upon indestructihla
material and attached to every seat
board under the front seat so that such
instructions will always be within
reach. This should be in addition to
supplying a pamphlet of more detailed
instruction with each car. | think that
this would cause most OF the users TO
become DESTROYS of being better ac-
ouainted with the car they are driving
and enable them to take better care of

Transcontinentai Stone Road. ;

The United States government has
been asked to take an interest In the
tour which the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturers association is promot-
ing for the proposed transcontinental
stone road. Colonel r. +. Glenn, of.
the Twenty-third infantry, and COM
mandant at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Indianapolis, has called the attention
of the war department to the i'm
portance of the proposed highway by
requesting permission to send COM
pany of infantry on the tour, the sol
diers to ride in a fleet of five motor
trucks as a demonstration of the pos
sibilities of this method of transporta-
ton for the army.
Colonel Glenn has compiled an in
.teresting table of figures on the esti-
mated cost of the trip, to be sub
mitted to the department, and it Is
more than probable that his plan of
sending the company will meet with
approval
The fifty automobiles which will
start on the cross-country trip on the
evening of July LIST will be led by
two American ears, which were the
first to be entered. The tourists are
planning on real pioneering during
the trip They will camp wherever
night overtakes them on the way af-
ter leaving Kansas City, sleeping In
tents and cooking their own meals.
According to Colonel Glenn's esti-
mate. the company could travel at
the rate of about sixty miles a day.
Each truck could carry eighteen men
wit htheir baggage and equipment,
but additional cars. would have to be
provided to carry the oil, gasoline,
mr. CninnRf Glenn
contends that If all army posts were
provided with trucks every regiment
would be able TO move within one
hours notice, whereas at present

Enter Car In Long Run.

The Abbott company nave made
public their intention of participant
ing in the Chicago to Boston nom
stop run to be given next June under
the auspices of the Chicago Autorno-
bile club. One car will be entered
by the Detroit factory, and one by
the Centaur Motor company, Chicago
distributors Of the Abbott-DetroH line.
These parties express strong conf
dence that both cars will come
through with "a perfect score.
The trip as outlined Will require
three and q half days. and lay over
the route as follows First day
