EGGS AGAIN.

TO THE EDITOR-Here is an

A lady staying with us was
told to fry her own eggs as
we were just busy. So she took
the eggs, with shell and all, then
was rolling them around In the
pan till help came.

CHEAP CARS ARE
THE EXPERIMENTS

Because they observe that most In
novations in design are adopted first
by the cheap or medium priced cars
and In many cases are not taken up
by the high grade manufact urers until
a year or mora Later some people mis-
takenly feel that the makers of the
best motor cars are over-conserva-
tive said e. J. kaias. generaksznana@er
of sales OF the reeriesa M6taxssG4f
company.
Bug If they would think about the
matter q little they would see that the
high grade makers follow the only
possible policy for them. These
makers, 10 begin with. are trying to
make a perfect car. Their purchasers
expect, and have the right to expect
when they pay SIS. 600 for a motor ear
that its performance will be absolutely
satisfactory and that 1t will continue
to be- SO for many years.
Innovations in design are neces-
sariiy experimental. No engineer liz
wise enough TO know all the charae-
teristics and qualities of q new deTtce
until 1t has been in use for some time
1t Is remarkable how a very small al
teration. such AZ rearrangement In
weight, will prove to have results that
no one foresaw until Ii had been put
into use
This means that the manufacturer
who rushed in always with thu very
latest thing In design Is putting mo, q
or less experimental constructions into
his car~-constructions whose charac-
lta$isties- him self-dnss= not fully.-atEa=
derstand and whose result ON the per-
forrnance of his car he can never be
quite sure of until experience has
proved them to him.
Can't Take Chances.
"The high grade manufacturer can
not afford to do that, He Will test. an
idea for a year or two years ON his
experimental cars, even though some
one eise--the character of whose prod
uct does not exact such care and GER
tainty---rnay rush 1t onto the market
and In the opinion OF the public beat
him to 1t" He does his own expert
menting and takes great care that the
llpublic shall not be asked to help him
with it.
For all that the high grade manu-
facturer Is just as live. just as eager
for new ideas as any other. His en-
gineering department begins Its work
on new idea often before the medium
priced maker takes IL up. But it Is
likely to continue the preliminary work
two or three times longer than the
other maker before the device IL adopt
ed.

concerned, ii aims to build experiment

City Controller Meads wants
the office of city clerk abolished
and the work turned over to his

ell this morning when it was dis
cussing the civil service charter

having his deputy and the chief
clerks of commissioners included
under civil service. Then he took
occasion to suggest that the city
clerk should be abolished and the
work given to him. You can
