DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Car Stripped of Valuable Accessories Would be Difficult to
Sell Auxiliary Features Great Addition n Gasoline
Prices Probed-Motor WhirL

Stripped of the valuable accessories
which go to make up the complete
car Of today IT would be difficult to
sell even the best of cars. The PAM
pered purchaser has been led by the
competition among the makers to de-
mand the best that can be bought in
equipment, and If manufacturers had
been asked five years ago to supply
the line of dash instruments and 9TH
err auxiliary features which are found
on every car of today he would have
lifted his hands in despir and an
nounced that it could not be done.
Stop at one of the spaces at the
show and ask the exhibitor what
equipment is furnished with his car.
He will answer perhaps, that 1t is.
press him for details you will be sur
prised at the list that will be given
you, unless you have been keeping
in touch with the lengths to which
manufacturers have gone this year to
make the car complete at the pur-
chase price.
Electric lighting and starting which
were put on the car for 800 extra
in 1914, and even on some of the 1915
cars are now fitted on cars selling be-
low $500. In addition to the starting
and lighting units themselves, the ad-
vent of the greater use Of electricity
has meant the fitting of expensive
fuses, trouble lamps, extra search
lights, electric lamps, extra search
lights, electric cigar lighters and even
electric heaters. The bulb horn has
disappeared, and in its place is an
electric warning signal.
Speedometers which would cost the
owner between $25 and $50 are STAN
dard equipment on all the cars selling
above $500. These instruments are
precise and are made with the care Of
fine clocks, yet every car that goes
out of the factories Of today has a
complete speed distance measuring
device mounted upon it
Windshields have been fitted for
some years now, as have tops, side
curtains. robe rails, foot rails, tools,
pumps, jacks and tire irons. Yet not
only have all these devices been kept
upon the cars OF 1915, but all of
them have been essentially improved
in many details.
The Windshield Is a far better ap-
pearing job today than it was two
years or even one year ago. There
is a marked tendency to rake it back
ward slightly this year, which tends
to cut down the wind resistance of
the car and at the same time lends
a racy appearance to the vehicle. 1t

result is that it conforms to the lines

The general trend of the autono-

that there will be many more cars

CLOSED motor cars Of the right type
take a lot of the terrors from win
ter" says ]. w. Gogarn, a Connecticut
division manager Of a certain motor
company.
Oversize tires were primarily de-
signed for the exceptional hard SER
vice, but have come into general
favor because of extra strength, cas-
Ter riding cushion and longer mileage,
in fact experienced car owners specify
the oversize tires in many instances
for original equipment of new cars.
The resiliency of larger tires reduces
the traction slippage on rear wheels,
adds to comfort and lessons vibration
to the mechanism of the car.
Year around cars are proving popu-
lar this winter, and practically every
company is now putting out cars of
this type. The advent Of the top
which fits the regular touring car
body and may be removed for sum-
mer use allows the motorists to use
their cars all year, instead Of storing
them in winter. Inasmuch as the av-
erage man now uses his automobile
more or less for business purposes.
he needs his car really more in the
winter than in the summer.
1t is not quite right to say that
tires made with asbestos fabric are
new, for five years ago a patent was
secured on the tire, and a number of
the tires have been placed under test.
The tests have proved satisfactory,
but the option Of the tire company on
the patent ran out. -
