RELIC OF A
PAST ERA

That virtually all automobile manu-
lecturers build for southern demand a
differently equipped car from that sold
in the north is a fact known to but few
+ motorists.
The northern states demand cars
whose Wheels run in a track ffty-six
inches apart. This tread is also the
standard to which European cars con-
form.
The cars built especially for south
ern trade have a rread Of sixty inches.
How this condition first became nee
essary is a matter on which members
Of the vehicle trade have argued for
many year. General opinion seems to
agree thai on account of road condi-
tons which once prevailed south of
the Dixie line, the greater tread was
adopted to ensure needed stability and
prevent Uverturning.
The standard was established long
before the day of the motor car. Even
when automobiles began to attain
general use, thera was still a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of the southern buyer
to give preference to a wtde-tread car.
: ThaE there has been a marked les
sening Of this tendency during the past
two seasons Is a fact brought out by
E. r. Benson, vice president Of the
Studebaker corporation, in charge of
automobile distribution. Mr.. Benson
also predicts that the time is not far
distant vixen tho superior advantages
Of the standard tread will result in a
! passing Of the old distinction between
north and south. He bases this pre-
diction on the general Improvement of
road conditions throughout the entire
south.
The day is past" Mr.. Benson de-
clares. when the southern motorist
J was compelled to ride as best he could
in the wagon ruts of the country
roads. Highways in many parts of
the south are now not merely equal
but better than thse in many parts of
the north. populated with similar
density. Even in the mountain dis
tricts, where wide-tread wagons are
still generally used, the motorist will
find roads that are almost always
crowned and are often macadamized.

A large majority of the cars we have
been shipping to our southern deal
ers this year have been equipped with
standard tread. SO marked has been
this trend that it seems only a mat
ter Of education until the standard
becomes general"
Automobile manufacturers and deal
ers will, of course. welcome such a
condition. At present the double
standard implies a waste in manu-
~faoture and a duplicate supply stock
of aXles for cars of both types.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President | Wilson's desire that congress repeal the provision of the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise ships from toll charges continued as an absorbing subject of interest in congress today and there developed considerable sentiment for a Demo cratic conference on the subject in the house, as well as in the senate. Majority members of the inter oceanic canais committee in the sen ate, who argued and voted for the exemption provision, have taken up for sereious consideration the propos- al to reverse the national policy Those who let it be known today that | their minds are open on the subject includes Senator Chiffon of West Vir- ginia and Senator simmons of North | Carolina.
 "A treaty is the supreme law of the land" said Senator Chiffon, and our platform declaration cannot alter or repeal that law Our platform dec Iaration for exemption from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwise trade probably ought to be read with this qualification necessarily implied: 1 If the congress can do so consist ently with the supreme law of the land or with national honor
 The inter-oceanic canal committee of the senate considered this matter
 very carefully and decided to ex- empt those American vessels not be- longing to trans-continentaI railroads. The law was in a way compromise of the conflicting views then being urged upon the committee.
 There is no room for even the sus- picion that the president has any mo- l tive other than true construction of the treaty and the best interests of the country. His judgment has been well nigh infallible. His appeal to
 stop, look and listen confess, chal- lenges my deepest interest and obln, crates any pride of opinion. l do know that he wants to do right and that he works necessarily at the risk of his health to be right all the time 1 No man is so wise as to except him
 self from taking the second and even a third look, when Mir Wilson, after investigation, suspects or asserts er- TOT in the situation. More especially is this true when it comes to mat ter affecting our foreign relations at l this particular time.
 Tn voting for the present law ] acted as I thought right from the information and light then at my command I will not reverse myself unless convinced that l was mistak en; but if so convinced l should not 1 hesitate to do what many of the greatest men of this country have done, that is, change my position and vste accordingly I have talked with the president. The interview was at my request and because I wanted to consult him and felt the need of his information on this subject He nev- CT even suggested that I change my | former opinion and did not discussa this question as an advocate"
 Senator Simmons, though an ear nest advocate of toll exemption for American ships when the canal act was passed, deeclared himself open to argument on the proposal to re- verse the policy.
 "The fact that the party platform endorsed the exemptions" said Mir. Simmons, should not deter us from changing our action if the party and congress have made a mistake"
