AUTO MEN DO AWAY
WITH MUFFLER CUT-OUT
Future Cars VIII BE Without This
Equipment.

equipment
On the ground that muffler cut-outs
are becoming a nuisance, the members
OF the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce have voted unanimously
for their elimination on the cars they
build in future, that is, in so far as
mufflers can be operated from the
drivers seat The reasons given for the
action are:
with more than 100000 cars in use
and supplying a great service in the
transportation of the individual and Of
materials the use of muffler cut-outs is
unfair to the public and adds an un-
necessary noise to American life. Cars
have ample power so that the slight in
crease in speed which may come from
the use of cut-Outs is of no Importance
There may be times in adjusting motors
where a cut-out is useful, but in such
cases, II can be operated from under the
car.
almost half of the 110 makers in
the chamber do not fit mufflers cut
outs to their present cars, and all
makers voted that they should be elm
mated in the new products.
"The directors" continues the report
of the meeting of the board in New
York last week, perfected plans for a

operation with the government authori-
ties at Washington. While there is
ample gasoline for all our needs, yet the
uncertainties Of war are such that a
campaign against waste as a patriotic
measure is one in which every motorist
will be glad to engage. The campaign
is to be carried on in vigorous fashion
even to the extent Of encouraging city
ordinances to make unlawful the idle
running Of motors when cars are stand
ing still, a practice which consumes a
great amount Of gasoline every year"

Senator Mcclellan was singularly
fortunate ID his committee assign
ments. He was made chairman Of
committee oil civil service and re-
trenchment, which probably has
more to do than any other COM
mittee of the same class. The
junior senator's larger committees
are; Military, postofices and post
roads; census, education and labor,
library and university Of the
United States. As the fourteenth
census will be taken in 1920, Sen
ator Mcclellan will have important
service to render as a member of
the committee of the census. As
he has served six years on the
military affairs committee Of the
house, Senator Mcclellan was de-
sirous of serving on the same COM
mittee in the senate.
