At the immense plant OF the Beth

word at all times. The great as
.sembling floors, and the floors of the
manufacturing departments are at
all times so clean that a meal might
be eaten from them. Nearly a score
of sweepers are kept constantly en-
ployed, and every sign Of dirt and
refuse is obliterated. The huge,
light buildings present an appear

LIGHT WEIGHT
IS BIG FACTOR
Engineers Show That Tendon
Cy is Toward Elimination of
Unnecessary Weight.

Taking the discussions among en-
gineers as an indication of the pres
ent status OF automobile design, it
appears that the question of light
weight is TO come in for a good deal
OF attention in the immediate flu
ture. Especially at the New York
show, where the automotive engi-
neers held their annual meeting, was
this tendency brought out clearly
Some Of the engineers think that
air cooling will be one of the big de-
velopments Of the future. This sys-
tenn has been employed for 1e years
on the Franklin car with success.
The opinion of these authorities is
based on certain research in the air
plane field, which made the point
that lighter engines per unit of pow
err were possible by eliminating all
the apparatus and heavier construc-
ton that a water-cOoling system en-
tails.
Almost TO a man, the engineers
say that one Of the big lessons Of the
war experience has been the demon
stration of the ability to build light
er weight construction and at the
same time maintain a higher quality
of performance and reliability. The
growing popularity of light weight
was amplified by a report showing
that the gasoline supply for years to
come could not be expected to i'm
prove either as TO quality or guam
tity. The need for economical oper-
alton will therefore be even more
pressing than in the past.

THINK RACE FANS
BY United Press


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 16
Earl Cooper. CALIFORNIA; native
SON." has entered his Stutz in the
500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes at the
indianapolis speedway May 81
Cooper is anxious to win an In
dianapolis five century and get the
long end Of the $4,000 in cash that
goes to the victor. Cooper fought
tooth and toe nail in his last drive
at Indianapolis to win the 5OO-mile
race, but could not overtake the
flying De Palma and Resta, when
the former won in 1915. Cooper.
however, came in fourth, just be-
hind his team mate, Gil Anderson.
A few weeks later Cooper scored a
500-mile win on the rough course
at Minneapolis. rolling across the
wire ahead Of the field but almost
exhausted. as the track was so rough
that the friction Of his clothing had
brought the blood through the skin.
After the 1915 campaign the Stutz
factory gave up its racing team and
Cooper purchased his own car. Be
ing a good engine man, he has put
more speed under the bonnet of the
16 valve car and maintains that to-
day it is as fast as anything on the
Pacific coast and that he can equal
almost anything in the east. Out
in California Cooper is the idol of
the fans, sharing honors with Bar
ney Oldfeld. who for many years
made his home in Los Angeles.
