PARCEL POST is
BOON TO AUTOMOBILE

With the advent OF the parcel post,
still another field Of activity has been
opened up TO the motor car. Although
the people generally have not awak-
encd to the wonderful advantages OF
this service, the rush has already been
so large In some cities that the post
office department has been literally
buried and the only way they could
get out from under was by calling on
the motor car.
In the town Of Battle Creek, Mich,
for instance. town OF only about 25..
COO. the rush OF stuff on Monday morn
ings Is such that the ordinary equip
ment Is far from adequate.

According to Official figures from

than 100000 packages were handled
during the first week OF the service.

Every car put out by the Keeton

meter made for the company By the
Corbin-Brown speedometer depart
ment of the Corbin Machine Screw

several OF these we're broken off. due
to the car travelling faster than 60
miles an hour. II. A. Dougherty. the

EVOLUTION IN TYPE
OF ROADSTER is NOTED

Time was when . roadster was only
q touring car with the rear end cut
on the bias. II was designed solely
TO sell TO people who we're too
grouchy TO invite their friends TO go
riding with them. and found II q
handy excuse TO be able to say. I'm
sorry l can't ask you to go out with
wife and me for q spin, but you see
our car has only one seat"
That time Is gone. The roadsttf
model today is a type Of very distinct
utility. II performs a service among
the trend OF the times-namely. II Is
the efficiency man. OF the organiza-
ton. the type OF car that means bust
ness.
Abundant spare room for acces-
SORES Is what really distinguishes .
good roadster. The enclosed rear
deck Of the Detroiter Is splendid
example OF this. While still being OF
extraordinary beauty and design, It
gives room for pair Of fully inflated
tires and the biggest suitcase made.
Txcess baggage can also be slowed
away In the space inside the circle Of
the tires-in the hole OF the dough
nut, hguratively speaking. The
measurements OF the compartments
Of this rear deck are as follows: Up
per compartment (for basgage), 33
inches wide, nine inches deep at one
end. tapering to six at the other. and
% inches long; lower compartment.
33 inches wide. eight inches deep. and
"a inches long Taken all In all, q
design like this makes an ideal car
for business purposes. For physi-
clans, statesmen, busy people of every
class, a roadster built along these
lines Is the most satisfactory type OF
automobile made.
There Is an added economy also In
q roadster--the economy OF lighter
car weight and lighter passenger
weight The Detroiter roadster Is I'M
der 1000 pounds: and when 1t is
taken into consideration that the
touring car OF this line carrying 1--WE
passengers averages from 20 to 20
miles to the gallon Of fuel, 1t Is evil
dent that the lighter weight and
lighter ladened roadster is indeed the
"low-upkeep'' car.

talk with several of the leading deal
ers. and though most OF them were
optimistic, they agreed that the dew
astating foods would greatly impair
the sale of automobiles during the
next 80 days and the weeks following.
1T was not an unusual sight, as
the trains crept along their weakening
road beds, -to-see- automobiles that
had been abandoned by their owners.
You could see the tops OF cars show
ing above the water at the spot where
some family, in it's flight 10 safety.
had been forced to take TO the water.
Near Port Clinton, Ohio, the train
passed through a flooded area at least
25 miles square. There were no roads
to be seen; only an occasional farm
house on the top OF hill or the tops
OF trees showing above the water
level
when II Is considered that the
high water had done at least $4,000
600 worth OF damage In Cleveland
alone. and that Cleveland is many
miles from the center of the flood
zone, It Is hard to say just how ser
ious the situation may prove TO be.
There were hundreds OF hold-over
passengers in the northern Ohio rail-
road stations. These people had come
from the east. intending to go on to-
Dayton, Columbus or Indianapolis TO
rescue friends or loved ones. The
situation was such as hope never to
see again. / not only had to give up
reaching Indianapolis and my trip
further south, but concluded that the
central parts OF Ohio and Indiana
were poor places for an automobile
man.
Just what effect the devastation In
such cities as Akron and indianapolis
VIII have on the manufacture OF auto
mobiles II is hard to say. Not Few
of the factories will be greatly handi-
capped, but am thankful to say my
Is among the more fortunate.
One OF the most serious difficulties
will be the shipping OF goods from
these Ohio and Indiana factories to
the plants in other cities. Many COM
panies that are manufacturing tires
or automobile parts will soon resume
their regular manufacturing sched-
ules, but will have trouble In moving
their product once IT Is ready to
market. 1t will take several weeks
to repair the roadbeds and bridges.
"The automobile dealers In the
flooded districts are brave lot OF
men. They look forward to the
future with hope and are generally
optimistic. or course, many OF the
wealthy automobile owners who lost
or had their cars ruined by the flood,
will buy new ones, but 1t Is my opin-
ion that the Ohio and Indiana deal
ers have hard fight ahead Certain
II is that business In this afflicted
district will be at a standstill for the
next 80 days"

Nine years ago a young man applied

he was bitten by that mysterious Insect

automobile bug. is today manager and
assistant treasurer OF the Regal Motor

that he has been climbing the ladder
OF success steadily since he became

the stock department of the Ford

for two years and then went TO the

In Fact, New Device for the

Little less than a sensation has been
caused In auto industry circles by the
appearance Of the Ames automatic

and one OF those inventions which
causes one TO wonder why he or
somebody else hadn't thought OF it.
The absorber is a device for the
purpose OF eliminating vibration,

1t consists of steel spacing block
and an inverted steel spring, to be ap-
piled TO any automobile spring OF the
