about $4,000 feet, or more than four
miles. The interstate bridge proper
spans the main channel of the Column

ten truss spans, each 1858 feet long;
one girder span of fifty feet and three
truss spans 275 feet long. One of
the 275-foot spans is a draw, of the
vertical lift type.

Transmissions Are Smaller

In automobile transmissions changes
have been more pronounced than in
engines. Many Of the transmissiOns Of
to-day seem so small that they look
unable to carry the load the powerful
multi-cylinder engine imposes on them,
but they are known TO be well beyond
the utmost call that can be made upon
them. I'm fact it is one of the great
gains of the multi-cylinder engine that
having no large cylinders it cannot
subject the remainder OF the car to
great stresses, but the impulses follow
each other from the many cylinders in
a steady stream and thus pull the car
with no jerks or dangers Of damage.
ANY one VINO remembers the chassis
Of a half dozen years back Will remem-
Der that IL was often filled with mech
anism from the rear axle forward and
hardly offered room Tor the battery
and starter when these now common
articles first came up for adoption. To-
day the chassis is even smaller and
having no large cylinders it cannot
yet much unusad space is left in IT.

the moving picture film IN the motor

Dle began 20 make up scenarios 10 help

show how motor car dealer or tire man
goes about selling his wares. The I'M
portant points Of the story are better
brought home in this way than they
can be by any straght-out lecture on
advertising.
Studebaker was one Of the first COM
panies to use the moving picture IN IT'S
work and factory processes from start
TO finish were covered in considerable
detail. These films went not only to
the dealers. but also TO educational in
stitutions throughout the country. Max
wells story. "From Molten Steel TO Au-
tomobile," was another one. II told the
story Of the manufacture OF Maxwell
car. Ford was one OF the first IN the
field. and the complete story of manu-
featuring and assembling a Ford car,
together with the labor saving devices,
etc, all were portrayed.
Il did not take long before these or
binary films lost their freshness, and
then il was necessary to devise some
thing better in order to hold attention.
Some of the factories began the use Of
movies in the same way as a weekly
news letter. For instance, when the
Dodge Brothers produced their 1907
000th car a movie film was made at the
factory and sent to dealers all through
the country.

idea of getting out an educational

California, one for every fifteen per

cars are owned by visitors, but they do
not change the figures to any marked

nv the State of Iowa, where, because
OF the great number Of farmers VINO
must have motor cars, the figures are
one car for every eleven persons.
an Los Angeles County there are
more cars than in any other county IN
