Practically Unchanged

The sedan recently brought out by
the Liberty Motor Car Company, Of
Detroit, is marked by straight lines
and trim appearance. The doors arc
placed to give easy entrance for the
driver without disturbing any other
passengers. This is accomplished by
staggering the doors, tho one on the
left opening into the drivers seat, and
shat on the right opens into the rear
compartment. The front seats are
separated; the drivers seat is adjust
able.
The new sedan is hung somewhat
lower than in average practice. The
car is upholstered in pleated gray whip
cord, and is fitted with silk curtains.
The exterior is finished in cobalt blue
and the wheels may be in straw Or CO.
bait, either of which harmonizes with
the body
The switch controlling the interior
lights is placed at the side of the rear
compartment. so that it may be con-
verient to all occupants. The door to
the front compartment may be locked
from the inside, thus making it un-
necessary that more than one key be
used to Jock the whole car from the
outside The front windows drop into
the body panels, and the rear windows
have their compartments behind the
rear seat.

Of the most cherished possessions Of
the National company. Through its
pages, pasted with newspaper clip
pings and photographs, runs the story
Of achievements in road races and hill
climbs, on speedways and dirt tracks.
In looking through this scrap book

drivers that had held the wheel Of
National cars and found the names OF

record, for | cannot recall any other

of National drivers David Bruce
Brown, a member of our team at In

were famous as amateur sportsmen-
Art Grciner, of Chicago, and Jack

Among the drivers Of past years who
gained black headline prominence in
the newspapers the following drove

his public we'll interested. The Stan
ley has been made for years, unlike
the Doble, and has been all through
the various ramifcations of the steam
problem.
Steamers have not been prominent
in this country since the White Com
pany quit making them, in 1909 We
recall very well our first automobile,
1904 White steamer. which was a
model of smoothness and fexibility in
those times. There is much to be said
IN favor of steam as a source of mo-
tive power. even though the old say
ing is: "Thc difference between gas
olene car and steam car is this: TT
takes all day to find out what's the
matter with a gasolcne car and five
minutes to fix it, whereas it takes
flve minutes to find out what's the
matter with a steam car and all day
to fix it,"
steam certainly does away with a lot
OF things that on a gasolene car are
counted unmcchanical and are sources
of trouble. The wonder is that the
steam was not further developed. but
that, as perhaps in the case of the air
cooled engine, may be due to foreign
influence IN the early days of American
motor engine design. The arguments
~ 9ICdii, JUST as the points IN 1aVOr
OF the alr-cooled engine, are strong.
and every once in while the question
arises: "Why don't more folks build
thcm?"
Stanley is like Franklin in its de-
votion to an idea. Stanley steamers
have been running around New England
for years and doing we'll 1t was the
entrance OF the Doble into the field
and the stimulus given to the steam
idea by the Doble that helped Stanley
to make a comeback. Franklin for
years stuck to the air-cooled idea. in
conjunction with features of light
weight and economy. Right now the
Franklin is reaping the harvest of this
earlier work and is on the way to a
production of $4,000 cars a year, some
thing considered beyond even dreams at
the Syracuse plant few seasons ago.
The cold spell that New York went
through recently is the sort of thing
that wins converts to the air-cooled
idea. You can't freeze a radiator when
you haven't got one. So Franklin
owners had rather the laugh on some
possessors of other cars Perhaps the
hot spot in the water-cooled engines
will do much to get away from the
danger of freezing. At any event. hot
spots are supposed to make starting
simpler and probably they do.
