Harper We'll satisfied.

II can only say that / am pleas
ed TO continue as athletic director
at NOtre Dame" said Coach Harper,
when seen by reporters. MY work
here has been most pleasant and
my relations with the faculty and
students have also been most pleas
ant. There is no university in the
country that / would rather serve
as athletic director"
Harper first came to Notre Dame
in the fall of 1913. IL was in that
same fall season that the HOosier
football team awakened fans Of the
country by its brilliant victory over
the Army. Harper became widely
known as the country's foremost
exponent Of the forward pass and
the team which he coached is rec
ognized today as having been the
most adept at handling the pass of
any team in football history.
During the year 1913-14, Harper
coached teams in all branches OF
athletics at Notre Dame, but in
1914 Capt. ROckne OF the 1913 foot
ball team became assistant football
coach and coach of the varsity track
team. The combination of Harper
and Rockne is one hard to beat and
Notre Dame students and alumni
believe that there is no school in
the country which has a duo that
can surpass the local mentors.

LIGHT CHEAP MOTOR CAR

American mapufacturers, having
proved that the light, cheap Ameri-
can car is the best, have set an ex-
ample for Europe which will be imi-
tated by Europeans at the conclusion
of the great war. The light, cheap
American car has shown. that it pos

more costly European competitor. The
war has proved this.
The European makers have discoy-

1t is admitted by visitors from

Curves on Roads Being Banked.

Curves on roads as ordinarily butt
have a special element of danger when
used by automobiles. The higher eleva-
ton of the center of the road as
ordinarily constructed has tendency
to induce drivers to pass on the inside
OF the curve. whether they belong
there or on the outside. Accordingly
in a few states il is now the practice
to give tho cross section of the read
on curves a uniform slope upward fr-cm
the inside of the curve to the outside,
so that driving around the curve ~
equally agreeable at any par; o: the
cross section. This Is called by eu-
gineers banking n curve. IN Rhode
Island. where all curves are banked
on new and on reconstructed state
roads. the amount of slope given to
tho road IN such a situation depends
not only on the sharpness %: the curve
but also on the grade Of the road. II
the grade is steep the crosswise In
c1ination 10 greater than If the carve
occurs on = level road. This practice
is exactly the same rs that of railway
engineers. who always elevate the oute:.

ready for either the scrap heap or the
bargain counter. Purses will be light
,er and living expenses heavier, and so
the men of Europe will naturally want
to go light on luxuries The popular
car will sell from 5000 to $1,000.
French manufacturers have aimed
in the past for perfection and have
given very little attention to the ques-
ton of low cost. The American
manufacturers have arrived at low
cost without affecting the running
qualities of their cars or their wear
ing properties.
There are many ways in which it
will be possible for the English and
French makers to lower the cost of
their production without materially
detracting from their car.
All Details Carefully Studied.
All of these details are being care
fully studied, for the makers of Eu-
rope realize that they must meet
on the same plan as America turns
them out and in quantities.
The European makers have made
many interesting discoveries .in ways
and means of decreasing manufactur-
ing cost and increasing output through
their experience in making ammuni-
ton.
Salaries are very much lower In
Europe than in America, and the in
vasion of this country by European
made cars at a price lower than that
of the American manufacturers after
filled its own wants would not cause

MISTAKES-ARE MADE
BY. MONO OPERATORS
Great Confusion Results When
Many Arms Shoot Out
From Machines. Il

Unconscious interference with the
drivers of automobiles and incorrect
signaling by persons riding either in
the front or in the tonneau has
caused so many mfshaps and serious
accidents recently throughout the coun-
try that the saner motorists are plead
ing for the adoption of this general
instruction: Let the driver do the
signaling" This is the advice of a
prominent motor car driver.
This simple rule, if followed and en-
forced by all automobile owners and
drivers, will simplify the driving con-
ditions on all the highways. Numer-
Gus collisions have been caused by the
mere thrusting of hand into the air
by a person who does not know the
usual methods employed by the men
at the wheel. The result has been in
many cases that the automobile follow
ing has received a signal to go in one
direction when the operator of the car
ahead was preparing to turn in the
opposite highway.
The saner motorists declare that this
is the psychological moment to bring to
the attention of the drivers in general
the nuisance that arises through the
frantic waving of arms or hands by
persons who do not know the inten-
lions of the driver. thus making the
situation more difficult for the operator
of their own automobile and Of the
cars following.
Learns Rules Speedily.
Practically every man who drives
knows the simple rules of signaling or
learns them speedily if he is a careful
and painstaking operator. But many
persons riding -either-in front or Back
at times forget that they aresnot driv-
ing and relesate to themselves the
duty of giving signals. This is dan
gerous to themselves and a crying
nuisance to the man who is driving the
car behind. There are. three basic sig
nails that all drivers must employ-for
stopping. turning right and turning
left
The drivers soon learnsthem.s but there
are scarcely half, 6ozen persons out
of thousand who ride in aNtom obiles
who know how and when TO give these
simple Signals And right there is
where all the trouble arises. These
signals are the same $Nhether the au
tomobile be the reguAar-approved right
side drive or.1he 1eff-side drive. and
persons in the automobiles would DO
well to refrain from trying to give
these signa1s themselves. They should
be asked or~told to let the driver do
the signaling.

Average Motorists Mistaken Belief

The average motorist is apt TO be-
lieve that the cooler his engine keeps
the better off he is. AS a matter of
fact. such is not the case. An automo-
bile engine is heat engine. The high
err the temperature that can be main
tanned with perfect fabrication the
greater will be the efficiency Of the
motor. A water-cooled motor cannot
operate at a temperature higher than
212 degrees. the boiling point of water.
The air-cooled motor, on the other
hand, has no such limitations.

the present. just on the eve of the
summer touring and the summer
crowding to the seashore in the hot
nights. BY allowing the driver, who
knows always which way he wants to
go, to give the signals may be the
means of saving few lives or very
many dollars in smashing Tenders. gas
oline tanks, lamps or other parts of the
rear of the automobile.
