Fly interrered with his riding, and, this probably had some bearing on his great dislike of them. :, Not long af- ter the Introduction, of those convey ahces, the beau monde of Newport ar ranged for 8 great race around the ocean drive, the only access to ehis place. notwithstanding the objee-' tions of Agassiz and other abutters, after an unciyil war, the city of New port consented to close the road for the afternoon, to the delight of the promoters and the apparent discom- fort of their opponent. At the last moment however, Agassiz completely turned the tables by getting an in junction and preventing the race. This led a. waggish friend to insert a notice in the papers denying the. re- port that MT. Agassiz contemplated making his next trip to Calumet in an automobile.
 His dislike of. these machines he re- tained to the end of his life, only few years before his death he came into his house in Cambridge, delight ed with an occurrence hes had just seen in Boston. NSIt appeared that on a corner where people were accus- toned to wait for the electric cars. an automobile, with it's owner Iof15ng in the back seat, had pushed through the crowd and knocked down a.xwo- man. Her escort Jumped on to- the front seat, and. .Agassiz said it had giv- en him the greatest delight to see what a thorough pumn1eltng he gave the chauffeur.
 "But why.'' asked the listener, .'didn't the owner-come to his chauf- feur's assistance ?'' t
 .tohp' exclaimed Agassiz, ''I was holding him.
 Nothing would induce him to get into an automobile in the East, but, after Calumet acquired her subsidiary companies, the ground to be covered became so great that he found it con- venient to employ one during his in- spections, a fact that found it's way only gradually to his friends in the East. One day, shortly after his first use of them, the newly appointed manager was driving, him about. As he knew Agassiz's opinion of a.utomo> piles, the younger man felt extremely nervous: but, as they were pressed Tor. time he was obliged to run fast, and somehow he managed to run over dog. ..Now'' thought he, ''that set ties me- But to his intense surprise Agassiz looked back and remarked sharply: 'sWhy didn't that damned dog keep out of the way!''

TIRE SIZES INDEX
 TO COST OF CARS.

J. M. Gilbert, former general man ager of the United States Tire com pany, is authority for the statement that in the last analysis tire sizes de- termine the selling price of autoI1o- biles In expIanations MT. Gilbert position, autonobiIes are designed from the ground up rather than from the motor down.
 ''The two most expensive units in a motor car are the motor and tires, 2 afirms MT. Gilbert. And in the con be the maker cannot separate those two ftems-motor and tires. For the tires must sustain the maximum ef- fort of the rnotor-so the strength of the tires must be equal to the maxi mum horsepower of the motor. Then. too, the tires must support the maxi mum load of which the car is capable
 ''Now, if you consider that tires of larger diameter call for different gear ratios and this in turn calls for larg- CT motors, it is clear that the first thing a. maker must decide on is the size of wheels and tires his new car shall have. Of course, some makers try to beat this condih on,-that is why so many cars are undertired. as equip- ped by the factory. That is why in selling some cars even the dealer will strongly advise the buyer to change sec tional area, though he cannot, of course, change the larger diameter the wheel size.
 s> ''Inasmuch as the item of tire cost is one of the heaviest in the, car, and inasmuch as by using a wheel of two inches less diameter and "a. tire half an inch or an inch less, the maker can on a run of say 5000 cars, save many thousands of dollars. the temp tation to try to evade the physical law is great-and too many makers yield to it. That is also the reason for the extremely light though large cars that have invaded the market of late. The temptation to put a big, powerful motor and an imposing body on tires a size too small so to get the price down is almost irresistible And the lack of discrimination on the part of

. SPEEDY PACKARDs.

Speed tests of Packard six-cylinder cars at Indianapolis produced impres- sive results which have just been made public. A Packard "33S" fully equipped touring car completed 62.4
 miles within the hour andea Packard "5-4S" with the same equipment com pleted ,70.4 miles within the hour. The performance took place under official observance of the Automobile Club of America and. the results are certified Both cars were standard with the ex- ception of muffler cut-out, spark plugs, wire wheels and tires. They were in condition for fast work, hav- ing been driven to Los Angeles and back by Packard engineers. The Packard Company lays stress upon the fact that the ability to roll up this tremendous mileage within the hour has been attained without sacrificing in the least degree quiet running, de1ibiHty, smoothness or easy riding.
 The cars used in these tests refer. red to are the new models which will come on the market September 1st.
 It is interesting to note that for the paa5t two, months it has been innpos- sible to purchase a Packard ''2-3 3S'' and that for several weeks past the same condition has applied to the "4- 48'sss It is estimated that the seasons output of the great Packard factory fell; at least 500 cars short of the mar ket requiT ements.

ALUMINIUM RADIATOR LIKELY

ALUMINIUM RADIATOR LIKELY A considerable step in advance for air cooling has been made-for the present in connection with motorcy- cles-through an invention made. by AHarcourt Kitchin of Glasgow. con sisting in attaching thin sheets of al minimum to the cooling fins of a mo tor. AS aluminium has much great CT capacity for conducting heat than iron it stands to reason that a consid- erable extension of the radiation area in this metal, with the assistance, when necessary, of an artificial air current playing upon this increased area, should go far to keep the tenn perature of the cylinders down. In the case of new motors, Kttchin pro- poses to make the cooling fins entire ly of Salurninum and very large, and no difficulty is anticipated in applying the same principle to autom obile me- tors of moderate size, the problem being simply the mechanical one of designing an aluminium radiator in-- stead of one carrying water and plac- ing it in greater proximity to the cyl finders, in fact, surrounding them. The tests which have already been made with aluminium radiator fins in con- nection with. motorcycles have shown that hills which previously could not
 be taken, because the motor became over heated, were taken without diff iculty with the ne0N arrangement, and
 a fuel saving was also demonstrated.
