Is 1t More Economical
To Assemble Cars Than
To Manufacture Them?

Much has been said during recent
months about economy and efficiency
in the production OF socalled as
sembled cars. That the assembled
car-one in which the parts come
from dozens Of factories, each special
izing on that individual part-can be
produced and sold at a lower price
than the car turned out in the factory
where the manufacturer makes every
thing used in its construction, IS a
fact quite often conceded.
However. there is a great differ
ence Of opinion as TO the quality Of
the assembled car. It has been claimed
that a car manufa ctured in this way
lacked unity, that there was unneces-
sary delay in the process Of Its build
ing and that some OF the parts used
are liable to be Of inferior grade be-
cause the motor car manufacturer is
looking out for large profits.
The Lexington Motor company,
builder Of the Lexington Minute Man
six appears to have arrived at a
most happy solution OF the assembled
car problem. Although the parts OF
the popular Lexington are not all
made under one roof, they are made
under one management This is ac-
counted for by the fact that the men
at the head Of the Lexington control
a group Of factories each Of which
specializes in the manufacture OF Ger
tain parts Of the motor car. One fac
tory makes nothing but springs. an
other turn out nothing but axles. and
another makes bodies and so on
Each OF the factories make parts
for a number OF other makes Of cars
besides Lexington and thereby the full
benefits Of quantity production are
realized.

Z. G. Perry, president Of the Lone

trying 10 keep prospective Packard
owners from taking the Packard away

had two calls from prospective Pack

PIERCE-ARROW HAS NEW
IDEAS IN BIG ROADSTER

Some new IDEAS IN motor car de-
signing are brought to light in the
new Pierce-ArrOw four passenger
roadster. the first OF which reached
the Babbitt-Polson salesrooms in Fl
Paso on Monday.
The roadster IS more on the lines
OF the four passenger sport models
than the accepted type OF club or
cloverleaf roadsters- It was four
doors-the first innovation for this
type OF car-despite divided front
seats Both front and rear seats are
roomy with lots OF fOOtroom-
The car is finished in French gray
with nickel trimmings. At the back
is compartment where three suit
cases may be stored and the car is
adaptable for long distance touring.
Il has, Of course. the distinctive head
lights on the Tenders. the mark OF the

CHARGING TINE
IS INDEFINITE
Old Batteries May Take
Several Days for a
Proper CHARGE.

The battery man who really knows
his business" says H H Hays. the
local Willard service man, never viii
set a definite time for returning a
battery he has taken 10 charge.
1T is impossible TO tell how long a
recharging Job viii take. a battery
that has been neglected and starved
may take from three TO seven days Of
steady charging before It IS back in
working condition again. It may need
a long period OF slow rate charging
to bring the plates back again to a
condition where even a normal rate
Of charge can be applied.
"On the other hand. a battery that
is just run down that perhaps has
been slowly drained by a dash light,
for instance, and brought IN for
charging as soon as It showed signs
Of weakness-such a battery can be
brought up again to full strength by
an overnight charge.
AN old battery takes longer TO re-
charge than a new one very frequent
~. A starved battery takes longer TO
charge than one that has the same
specific gravity that has merely be
come run down through being stored
and forgotten.
'Iu short. so many different ele-
ments enter into the charging Of
battery that II is impossible TO tell
what that length OF time viii be until
the ng-129O-actually IS Sc
cured.
The conscientious workman. then,
makes no definite promise Of delivery
to the man who brings the battery for
charging. He can't because he doesn't
know how long II will take If the
car owner is wise he viii not insist
upon having his battery back at a
certain time. Satisfactory charging
cannot be done on that basis"

THERE ARE "SLACKERS" IN
THE AUTO WORLD, TOO

.SLT EFT US use common sense IN
this question Of fuel and oil
- conservation" urges Martin
L Pulcher, vice president and general
manager OF the Federal Motor Truck
company. with our resent Informal
ton, we can't hope to decide between
the conflicting opinions in the petro-
leum industry itself One side fears
the supply will fail far short OF our
war time needs. The other deplores
any agitation TO curtail the use OF
automobiles IN order TO conserve our
supply Of gasoline.
Without trying to settle this
mooted question one way or the other,
everyone should realize that in either
case. a spirit OF sane economy should
govern the use OF gasoline Just as IT
should govern the use OF every other
great national war time necessity.
we should recognize in the first
place that the greatest possible use
Of the motor truck for transportation
purposes and the extensive use of pas
senger cars for business needs and
legitimate, healthful recreation in
themselves promote national eff
cheney and economy. Nevertheless,
every effort should be made also to
secure the maximum Of this service
with the minimum OF fuel and oil ex-
penditure- IN other words, it isn't
curtailment Of the legitimate use Of
motor vehicles that is SO much TO be
desired as the elimination OF waste.
This is the sort OF conservation we
believe in here at the federal factory.
And we believe in II not merely for
the other fellow, but for ourselves as
well Inc factory orders We have just
issued are good evidence of this. The
Workmen in our different departments
have been instructed TO watch care
fully the consumption Of oils and gas
oline so as to avoid the unnecessary
consumption OF a single drop. Our
men have been instructed to filter and
use again all oils wherever It IS con-
sistent with good workmanship TO do
So Testers have been reminded to
be as economical as possible in the
use OF gasoline and lubricants. Ma
chine operators are admonished to use
only enough oil to do their work prop
erly. We consider this not only pa
triotic but businesslike for move OF
this sort cannot help but raise the
general level OF efficiency and
we honestly believe that If every
individual and industrial user Of oil
and fuel would cut the corners like
this, eliminate the little, careless
losses, avoid the unnecessary use OF
vehicles, the resultant saving would
be more than enough to cause every
apprehension regarding the gasoline
supply TO vanish in thin air.
This is merely the common sense
view OF fuel conservation. Going TO
greater extremes by absolutely cut
ting down the use or motor trucks
and automobiles is not only unneces-
sary, but dangerous. The extensive
use Of the motor truck is not only
helping 20 solve the great problems
Of transportation congestion, but ev
cry time q motor truck supplants q
team OF horras It Is effecting a very
definite saving and helping 70 solve

New De0ice Makes 1t
Easier and Safer To
Lean Car Driping

Several months Of successful opera
ton OF a double steering wheel car
by Bishop, Mccormick & Bishop, OF
Brooklyn. have supplied the comfort
ing assurance that a day is coming
when embryo motorists Will learn the
art Of driving with much greater
safety TO themselves, to other motor
lists, and TO the general public.
The double steering wheel device
permits the instructor TO retain con-
troll over the car at all times, even
though the pupil Is doing the actual
driving and gear shifting. This ar
ranEement enables the pupil 10 try his
ridden streets. with the result that he
is far better equipped to drive alone
after one or two lessons than the av-
eraEe raw motOrist" is after three
or four. The instruction car is not
only equipped with two steering
wheels but with two sets OF brake and
clutch pedals. Automobile Topics"
says, Because Of this arrangement
both instructor and learner feel a con-
fidence that cannot exist when there
is a single control in unskilled hands.
The nervous strain that is eliminated
can best be appreciated by those who
have been through the experience"
The Brooklyn firm precedes this
instruction by a series OF lessons IN
an anchored car" which is set on a
platform in such a way as to leave
the wheels free. In front Of the car
is a semaphore with which the in
structor flashes signals 10 the driver
Sharp turn steep hill" etc. direct
the pupil to manipulate his controls
accordingly, while a special brake
lever enables the instructor to pro-
duce practically the same conditions
as would result or the road. Both
the dual control and the anchored car
were originated by Bishop. McCor-
mick & Bishop. and patents are ap-
piled for on each. Bishop. Mccormick
& Bishop are the Dodge brothers deal

Don't abuse the motor by racing
it when not pulling a load.
Don't neglect filling the radiator
with clean water. Drain the cooling
system and flush il once a month
