BRITISH BUILD
CHEAP MOTOR
CAR AT $500
High Costs of Coal and
Labor in England Cause
America Not to Worry

A large British enginccrings COM
pany has announced its entry into
the field of motor car production with
Il model which is openly regarded as
an attempt to meet American COM
petition. The company hopes to put
10000 cars on the market the first
year. This car is of the 1920 horse
power, i've passenger type and is to
sell at approximately $500.
There is no guarantee that the
makers of this car will be successful
in putting it on the market in the
quantity necessary to make the price
possible, nor tat it will prove salts
factory in service. Only one car has
been built for testing purposes. 1t
has been run almost 10000 miles and
is reported to have given a thorough
ly satisfactory performance.
Information from leading American
motor car manufacturers leads the
National Foreign Trade Council to
believe that the manufacture of this
car at the price indicated is extremely
doubtful Increased costs of coal,
steel, labor, etc, now render it I'M
likely that such a motor can be pro-
duced in England for less than $1,000
at which price it will not compete
seriously with low-priccd American
cars, even considering the British
import duties of SO 1-3 per cent. So
far as countries other than England
arc concerned, it is even more certain
that this car will be unable to meet
American competition, and that such
markets as South America and South
Africa will turn more and more to the
United States for moderate priced
motor cars.

Der of cquincs decreased by $1,000.
A large proportion of the decrease
may be attributed to the use of
hofses in the war, but against this
must be set the fact that during The
same year hogs increased in number
100000; sheep 100000, and catt.e
several hundred thousand. The drain
on these animals for war purposes
was undoubtedly much heavier than
on horses.
1t is also significant that horses
showed sharp decline in value per
head in spite of the war demands and
increased numbers. For the first time
in decade they were rated below
500 a head, average value, making a
decrease in value of horses for the
one year of $126,2G1, while all other
classes of animals showed large in

EXPLAINS BLOW OUTS
Why Tire Will Sometimes Blow Up
When the Car Is Standing
Still

One of the most mysterious things
that happen to pneumatic tires is the
blowout that follows stone bruisc
says the Z. r. Goodrich Rubber COM
pany.
A tire may sometimes elbow up
while standing still. Likewise it may
give way while running over aglassy
smoothpavcmcnt. In either case the
owner curses the tire, its maker and
the man who sold it to him.
Very few people who pride or
pneumatic tires understand their
qualities and limitations. Not one
person is hundred takes into con>
sideration the terrific strain put upon
tires when travelling at high speeds
over ordinary roads. 1t is hard to
viSulzc the terrific impact when a
tire strikes stone the size of an egg
imbeddcd in the road while going at
speed of 35 miles an hour.
At the time a blow is struck
only half a dozen threads in one or
two of the powerful plies of fabric
arc broken. These loose threads at
once become source of trouble. The
breaking of one layer of fabric per-
mits the threads to chafc each other,
setting up an internal friction that
causes further disintegration. The
other plies soon break down and the
blowout comes, usually at time when
circumstances point to no apparent
cause.
Tires should be inspected by good
repair man periodically. A bruised
tire can be successfully repaired by
removing the damaged fabric and
rubber and revulcanizing. Motorists,
themselves, should occasionally exam
inc the inside of the casing to see
if the fabric is ruptured. This
should always be done before an OK
tended trip.

OH one of the outlaying streets at
forty-fve miles an hour. This truck
will soon be on the market and its
speed range is almst as great lis that
OF the average passenger car. OF
course, this truck will probably be
governed to run about thirty-two
miles an hour so as to hold the engine
speed within reasonable limit.
With this increase in truck rapid
ity there is going to be Il phase Of
transportation opened which will
prove to be one of the most valu-
able fields of operation for the
truck. This is in the hauling of pro-
duce and garden goods from the out
lying districts to the city. Il is with
in the scope Of the truck to mater
tally reduce the high cost of living,
as by secured over poor roads. In
fact it is difficult to induce even small
capitalists to invest in truck service
over roads that arc poor. The main
tcnance on the truck and the short
life, or, in other words, the great de-
tcrioration of the trucks, render it
a poor investment.
