Municipal Golf Links

From the San Antonio Light.
 The announcement of Commissioner Lambert that he intends, as soon as prac- ticable, to establish a municipal golf links in the south end of Breckenridge park is a long step in the direction of making this city an attractive place for the tour ist It is something that should have been done long ago, and if Commissioner Lam- bert carries out his plan in the proper way he will be entitled to the lasting gratitude of the people of San Antonio It must be borne in mind that 1t is one thing to establish a golf links and another to keep it in proper condition. If it is not prop erly maintained it will be a liability in- stead of an asset. To keep it in proper shape requires 8 considerable amount of labor and labor costs money. It must however, be remembered that only so long as it is properly kept up will it be an attraction. Improperly kept 1t will be nothing but repulsion.

4AUTOCAR' WARNS EUROPEAN MAKERS London Publication Says American Cars Will
 Outstrip Them

Americans who have always been loyal to American motor cars and trucks will read with lively interest and considerable satisfaction the following excerpt from a warning editorial in the Autocar publisrAs in London and regarded both in Englan- and on the continent as an authority ou motoring matters. The editorial says in part:
 What we have to bear in mind all the time is that hitherto Europe led in de- sign. At the present time owing to the war; Europe has done comparatively Ht- tie new designing for 1915 On the other hand, America has very largely redesigned it's cars, and is showing an activity In the designing department which is greater than anything it has exhibited before in this way. It is, therefore, obvious that if Europe wishes to retain it's share CT it's home markets, not to mention those be- yond the seas. it must keep in mind that one of it's valuable assets has been that 1t has led in design; and although the makers may imagine that the 1914 models which they had when the war began are good enough to sell when it ends, they will find themselves hopelessly outdis- tanced by the Americans, who will have had new designs once at least, and, if the war lasts many months longer, twice, dur ing period when European automobile design has hardly changed at all"
 While this editorial refers primarily to touring car types it is equally true of the design of motor trucks. The part which refers to America showing increased ac- tivity in design and the struggle Eng land will have to retain its home market Is particularly pertinent in view of the fact that before the end of the current year and consequently before new Eng fish truck models are brought out there will have been a widespread adoption of the internal gear-driven rear axle on motor trucks in this country. Added to this is the fact that American made motor trucks with internal gear drive axles are now being shipped into England in consid- erable quantities and have actually been adopted for use on one of the large bus lines. American touring cars obtained substantial foothold in England even be- fore the outbreak of the European war. Every indication is now that American made motor trucks will be equally suc- cessful
