NAME OF THE PARTY

CCTOWN MEETING PARTY" may not
a be the best name imaginable, but
names are not going to count much in
November. With such cause as the
independents have to fight for, and such
a shambles of government as they have
to fight against, any name or none at all
would be satisfactory. a winning party,
in this case, is a good enough party foI
anybOdy.

Another RAISE
IN AUTOPRICES
IS DUE SOON

II is understood by government au,
thorities that within the next 80 or
A. days the majority OF automobile
manufacturers in the United States
will announce another advance in
price.
With many the increase will come
with the advertising OF their prod
uct for next year. which is Custo-
mary with manufacturers who still
cling TO the yearly model idea at this
season Others will spread the news
by simple announcement Of increase.
The advance in price made SO far
during the last six months and those
about to be made are not due. as
many may imagine. to the fact that
it is the intention OF the government
to commander the output Of the mo-
tor car factories. The United States
Army is going to require large num-
bers OF machines touring cars and
roadsters, as we'll as trucks. They
are TO be purchased in the same man
ner as would be done under ordinary
circumstances. Motor car builders
were invited on June 3 to submit
bids to the government as to the
price at which they would be willing
to sell their machines. and the num-
Der that could be delivered within a
short space Of time.
Without an exception, in filing
their proposals automobile manufact-
urers offered cars at a saving in
price. and made delivery dates as
advantageous as was possible for them
to do.
1t is the cost of things that go into
the motor car that has caused the in
crease. There are in the neighbor-
hood Of 5000 parts to the average
No manufacturer builds them
all within his own plant AS prices
are raised to the manufacturer by
makers of individual parts and acces-
series, they in turn must necessarily
increase the price to the consumer.
Labor also has advanced, so that
skilled mechanics-the only ones that
can find employment in the motor
car plants-are able to command al
most any wage that they ask.

Times OF WAR
War improves Engine Details
More Than Design; contin-
uouS Service is Plan

The importance Of thoroughly test
ing out the engines Of motor trucks
before suhtecting them to the rigors
Of war duty is pointed out by W. Owen
Thomas, the Detroit consulting auto
motive engineer. whose experience NJ
the front has enabled him to be Of
considerable assistance to the army
authorities. manufacturers and engi-
neers of this country.
The engines OF American trucks
in France often gave trouble from
the fact that they were not suffic.

hard service" says Mr.. Thomas. 1T
must be remembered that the engines
have to be Of the heavy duty type
for this kind Of work. and have to
be balanced and geared to run at q
continuous speed Of 90 miles per nour
in emergency. Considering the g.
we're service conditions, Il Is obvious
that the engines must be well
worked in before taking the field, so
that they may be able to maintain

outset. without damage.
The war has developed more i'm
provements in engine details than In
general design. In a score or more

ion, have come to stay. The severe
tests Of motor trucks since the war
began have supplied manufacturers
and engineers with q number Of sug-
gestions which should and undoubted-
ly will be incorporated In motor
trucks used for regular commercial
work. These improvements havo
meant greater economy IN :-ss con.

In war the big idea d to keep the
trucks in continuous service and TO

HUI Of AUTO

DENVER, Colo.-More than $50 del

the nited States, met in Chicago at
the La Sale hotel on July 10 and II
10 form the National Automobile Deal
ers' association. Preliminary work has
already been started looking to the
securing of at least 10000 individual
members, according to F. E. Chamber
lain. sales manager OF the Swensen
Auto company, who attended the
meeting as a delegate from the car
dealers of Denver.
While some differences of opinion
arose in the meetings over minor mat
ters connected with the organization
said Mr.. Chamberlain, the gathering
was generally in entire accord with
the idea of cooperative organization.
Many Of the largest dealers in the
country. as we'll as several factory
UranCh managers, were IL G,scldance
and all looked upon a dealers or
ganization as a great step forward.
The officers for the first year are
as follows: President. George Browne,

The directors are authorized to APP

latter will look after the associations

les. They were quickly silenCed. The
dealers feel that all needed reforms
regardless of their nature, can be &C
complished through cooperation and
education. Cleaner methods, better
laws, improved roads and other mat
tiers of like nature accrue to the bene-
fit of dealer and factory alike. The
new association invites factory COOP
Grafton and this has been assured al.
ready in many cases.
Just how the national association
will affect the local dealers has yet
to be determined. Most Of the sue

GOVERNMENT ORDERS
MANY TRUCK BODIES

Orders for no less than 24.O50 bod
les for motor trucks have been placed
by the government, thereby reflect
ing two things-one, the high NOR
tally among bodies used for war pur-
poses, and, two, the probable plan
of the war department to order ad-
ditional trucks. Only lately 1860
chassis were contracted for, and It
is probable that the bodies will be
used for these for trucks now in ser
vice for replacement Of damaged bod
les and to supply new chassis that
may be ordered.

A ClOgged muffler may be the

Remove enough insulation so that the
bare wire may be turned around the
