AUTO OF THE FUTURE

What is to be the future line Of
development of the motor car? 1t
is a big, practical question, of inter
est TO every designer and manufac-
turer, and to every present or pros
pective user of an automobile.
William B. Stout, who has won
distinction as an aircraft engineer,
gives some illuminating suggestions
based on aircraft lessons learned dur
ing the war. The motor car of the
future, he says, should have these
general characteristics:
It should be closed car, carrying
five passengers, and weighing only
about 800 pounds, with a small en-
gine of six or more cylinders, Civ
ing 80 to 40 miles on a gallon of
gasoline, riding more easily than
the present heavyweight cars, and
costing no more than any present
car of equal passenger capacity and
performance.
These are not at all impossible
ideas, he maintains. The engine may
be lightened by being cooled by air
as well as reducing the size of the
cylinders. Fifteen horsepower will
be enough for the purpose, and the
weight need not be more than eight
pounds per horsepower, or 1901
pounds. Weight may he eliminated
in many parts OF the car by a more
general substitution of wood for
steel. Airplane construction, he
holds, has proved the superiority of
wood for many purposes, because of
its combined strength and elasticity
Such a car. he says. will not only
be fairly cheap in first cost and won
derfully economical to run. but IL
can be taken care of by the owner
with little effort and little skill. The
oiling will be almost wholly automa-
tic, and there will be no grease cups
or unlubricated joints. The outside
design will be such that it can be
kept clean by a minimum Of wash
ing.
1t all sounds too good to be true.
A million automobile users will sigh,
Bring US such a car" Maybe the
experts will really produce it before
long.

"RllIERS"
movement

The veto of the daylight saving
bill has called public attention once
more to a subject that has nothing
to do with the merits or demerits of
the plan in question. 1t is the sub
ject OF legislative riders" "
The daylight-repeal provision was
made, an appendage to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill. When the
president, therefore, decided to veto
the appendage, the only way he
could do it was to veto the entire
bill. As a result, many agricultural
department activities were tempor-
arily in distress for lack of funds.
Whether the president was right
or wrong in this veto is another
question. The obvious fact is that
if this important daylight provision
had been Incorporated in a separate
bill, standing by itself as it should.
it could have been considered on its
own merits, and the appropriation
bill would have gone through un-
complicated and unscathed.
Isn't it about time for congress
and state legislatures to quit the
dirty practice of tacking riders onto
important bills? All bills should
be considered upon their own merits
