No matter how carefully a secret re-
garding motor cars is guarded there is
generally a leak somewhere The tip has
come from Detroit. automobile home,
that during the coming SUMMER we may
expect to pick up a paper any morning
and see where so and so has lowered
the road record between most any two
important points on our continent Feats
on the speedway and on the beach will
likewise be a part of the program.
Performances Of some cars and the re-
sultant publicity have caused other manu-
facturers to sit up and take notice. and
they, on their part, desiring some of this
same sort of notoriety, are going to at
tack Old Father Time Ralph Mulford' S
record of 1873 miles in twenty-four hours
is liable to be very much sought. There
are those who predict that the ante will
be raised to 1000 miles before the summer
Is over. 1t Is understood that Cannon
Ball. Baker, who has Just made a trans
continental record. is going out to better
his own mark. The make Of the car he
will drive, he refuses to divulge. All
these. sort of things are good. they tend
to make people talk automobile, espe-
cially the car that sets the mark. Some
do not need this kind of publicity to sell
their output and it is the making Of
others.
The Maryland law requires that the
operator of a machine not only have his
operators permit on him at all times
when he is driving in that State, but that
ne must likewise nave the caro- that is
given at the time the license is procured
and which acts as an identification, carr
for the machine. II found without one
or both of these cards the car operator
is liable to find himself put to serious in
convenience.
Washington will have a secondhand
car exchange within a few days. It is
understood that the lease for the premises
was signed yesterday. Those behind the
proposition claim to have things so
worked out that they will be able to
take all used cars of the dealers hands
II they so desire. The disposal of the
used car has long been the bugaboo Of
the automobile business. Every dealer
no matter how much he objects to hand
ling them, finds that at one time or other
II he wishes to make sale he must take
one in. Oftentimes it is stuck back In
the corner somewhere and forgotten until
there happens to be an inquiry for
secondhand machine, when 1t is dug out
Statesmen are not anxious to put their
time In on this class OF cars, for they do
not sell near SO easy as the new car
especially this years, and as a result
unless the person in authority Is behind
them all the while they are apt to forget
about these cars, But money is tied up
In them, and they must be moved. A
used car exchange conducted on a proper
basis would no doubt relieve this condi-
ton.
