LIGHT WEIGHT In

.at Must Be Determined Scien-
tifically. Says Chalmers
Man

Prominent among those points most
generally discussed during the present
season. regarding the different phases
OF automobile construction. has been
weight. That weight In q motor Car
h not mere matter Of opinion. but
one tEst should be scientifically de-
termined according to the work to be
done ty each part, is the opinion Of
Geo. w. Durham. consulting engineer
Of the Chalmers Motor company.
As the designer Of the famous Chal.
mers Skies" Mr.. Durham In recog-
nized as one OF the foremost automo-
bile engineers. While he IN con.
scrvative. cars Of his design have al
ways been leaders In important I'M
provements. and noted for their good
second quality. simplicity and dur.
ability.
There is no doubt but that some
OF the builders have followed the lure
OF light weight too far" said Mr.. Dun.
ham In recent interview. "The elm.
iuatton OF superfuous weight Is unde-
n'ably q good thing. but In the strug-
gle TO secSre mere lightness. mnny
designers have gone to extremes, re-
ducing the factors OF endurance and
stability beyond all reason.
LIT seems foolish to suppose that
any manufacturer puts extra weight
into his car when he can avoid II. In
the first place, the cost OF material Ia
the main item OF expense In produc'
ing an automobile. Excessive use OF

mum simply as raw materials alone
brings up the manufacturing cost Of
q car much more than one would real
Ire from the other viewpoint, II
eeems to me preposterons to suppose
thar any manufacturer would wilfully
increase the gasoline consumption OF
his car or raise the cost Of tire main
tenance for his users by adding un-
necessary weight. especially when any
extra weight means an unnecessary
increase OF cost to the builder himself
"A little analysis will show why
there Is more weight In some cars
than I'm others. In the endeavor to
reduce the weight of what arc known
as the large size light cars, every
pieco In the car has been cut to the

Of the forgings and levers, even go

whee, spokes and felloes and reducing

Il would be one of the FIRST to
criticize q car which carries super
fious weight but I do maintain that
the weight OF the many parts that 90
into q motor car should be determined
scientifically. Every part should have

be msde large enough to guarantee

EUGENIC MARRIAGES

The eugenic law is playing hav-
oc wi t h Wisconsin weddings.
Many lovers are leaving the state
to be married. Statistics show
that the market is shy about 1900
marriages already as result of
the stringent marriage laws of
that state. And this will be the
history of all strict marriage laws.
Instead of throwing restrictions
around matrimony it should be
encouraged in every way possible.
Men and women will refuse to
apply for license to marry when
they have to submit themselves
to physical examinations or to
answer a long list of questions
relative to their health. This
will tend to prevent statutory
marriage and will bring about
that intolerable class called com
mon-law marriages, which really
is no marriage at all.
