Paris, Oct. 2O.-Automobile manu-

the housing crisis by manufacturing
large automobiles which. like Pull

sitting or bedrooms and which also
contain small kitchenettes and bath
rooms.
Considering the number Of people
in France who wish 10 marry but
can't do so because they can't FIND
any apartments or houses to live
in, the new automobile apartment
should prove a boom.

Lighter Cars and Smaller Engines
Urged by Manufacturer in EHortto
Conserve World Gasoline SuppLu

The final solution of the gasoline
supply problem cannot be found
merely in the more careful use of
fuel by present owners of motor
cars. This is the opinion of II. II.
Franklin. president of the Franklin
Automobile Company, Syracuse. As
a manufacturer, Franklin is looking
TO the day when many more auto
mobiles will be required for this
country's transportation needs than
are now in service. The achieve
ment of this develomeRt, his anaIy-
sis brings out, is vitality dependent
upon an adequate fuel supply, at. a
cost per gallon that would not be
prohibitive.
Franklin urges that automobile
manufacturers interest themselves
In the question in an entirely differ
cnt way than present conservation
plans include. The motor car de-
stgner must be depended upon for
the solution, by building the car of
the future to use less gasoline. The
accomplishment of this objective.
FTaEklin points out, involves three
things; first, the reduction OF
weight; second. the limitation OF the
size of cars: and third, closer adap-
tation of the power plant to the
actual performance requirements of
an automobile

New State Laws
Proposed to End
Thefts of Autos

AS solution to the problem Of
checking the vast number of auto
mobile thefts throughout the coun-
try, the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce has decided on
the encouragement OF uniform
State laws TO control the exchange
of used cars.
This decision is the result of an
exhaustive study of the subject by
the chamber. The investigation
followed the realization that stern
steps would have to be taken soon
TO curb the cvcr-increasing num-
Der OF thefts due to the laxity of
the present laws.
To help State legislatures in this
efort the chamber has drawn up d
model anti-theft law which will be
presented to all State assemblies at
their 1921 sessions. The law, as
drafted. is intended especially to
regulate the purchase and sale Of
used motor vehicles and parts If
provides for the licensing Of the
business of dealing in secondhand
vehicles. and prohibits the removal,
mutilation or altering OF makers

Under the same law. every ga
rage or repair shop must keep a

por; to the police IL they find an

polled to stretch their fuel supply.
smaller cars and smaller engines
have predominated. American engi-
neers have before them, for the same
reason, the passing of the so-called
high powered car. 1t is now rea-
lizcd that any excess or reserve of
power over ordinary requirements is
at the expense OF an already limited
gasoline supply. II is not unlikely
that future American design will,
in the smaller, normally powered
cars to come, bring into play more
gear work on hills. something which
the European motorist is already
accustomed to-"
According to figures compiled by
Franklin, the extension OF the use
of motor cars in the United States
SO desirable in years TO come, would
be the natural outcome of the new
line OF developments. The saving
of fuel in one years time, provided
all cars were built TO average
twenty miles to the gallon of Easo-
line, would at this time supply 700,
600 additional automobiles Any
evidence as strong as this, and ap-
plying so closely to the economic
standing of automobiles, should

painstaking study of the real fun

The story of travel evolution,
from the earliest days when prim-

SIMPLE DESIGN
FEATURES AUTO
Many Mechanical Short
Cuts Presented in New
Apperson Car.

''Directness of engineering de-
sign gives the Apperson Eight the
strict economy of the four while
accentuating the flowing ficXibility
of eight cylinders" says 7. L.
Jarrard, vice president of Apperson
Brothers Automobile Company of
Kokomo, Indiana.
Nothing illustrates direct design
better than tho modern side wheel
steamboat compared with an old
timer with its big walking beam
tueter-tottering on top. a connect
ing rod reaches up from the engine
and yanks one end of the walking
beam up and down. 4 second con-
Meeting rod bangles from the other
end of the beam and rotateS the
crank shaft and paddle wheels by
push and pull. There you have
three great pieces of metal Topping
around and big pins and bearings
to mount them and hitch them to-
gethcr. But in your modern steam
boat, the first connecting rod
reaches over and grabs the crank
shaft direct and that's all there is
to it. The boat designers have
chucked a lot Of mechanical riga
msrolc overheard.
The Apperson motor likewise
throws complication overheard. 1t
isn't cluttercd up with a flock of
young walking beams called rocker
arms to operate it's valves. Each
Apperson cam pushes up its valve
rod direct. The single cam shaft is
driven by a pair of gears meshed
direct. There is no chain. These
are just a few of the mechanical
short cuts we have made, eliminat-
ing friction, lost motion, sluggish
ness. Such simplification is a con-
siderable item in Apperson refine
ment. This motor is just two very
small, extremely simple but highly
refined fours merged into one at
the base. 1t delivers the required
revolutions per minute on the mini
mum gas"

Millions in Tire
Mileage Wasted
By Misalignment

Millions of miles of tire service
are lost annually through mis-
alignment of automobile wheels.
Faulty alignment can rasp away
before the owner realizes it. half to
two-thirds of the service that is in
a tire.
Although extreme cases are easi-
ly detected by the way the car
steers, slight cases are almost un-
noticeable to the ordinary driver,
even though they may be thieving
hundreds of tire miles.
This condition is not always the
fault of bent aXles, of broken
springs, loose spring shackles and
sprung frames, but is due often to
loose steering knuckles, to bent
pinions, TO worn bearings and wob-
bly, wheels.
Any part of the running gear
which has become worn or out Of
shape, is bound to cause undue
friction on the tires. Frequent ex-
animation OF car wheels for align
mGnt will prove exceedingly profit
able to the car owner. according TO
Miller tire service experts.
The day is not far distant when
this service will rank with air serv-
ice in the tire shop.

NEW LAFAYETTE CAR
HAS NOVEL FEATURES

Many closed car owners are con-
WINGED that their sedan, coupe or
brougham was built upon a chassis
designed for open bodies. Motor
lists who have owned both open and
closed models of the same make un-
doubtedly have remarked on the
seeming sluggishness OF the closed
car when compared to the perform
ance of the open. That a change
in this practice is imperative has
been stated many times in the past.
Reversing common practice, the
chassis of the new Lafayette has
been designed primarily to equip It
for the demands of inclosed car SER
vice." says John c. Walker. local
Lafayette distributor. How this
has been accomplished is exempli-
fed in such features as the deeply
channeled frame, the powerful
brakes, the stoutness of axles and
running gear and the relation Of
power TO weight. The result Is to
give the Lafayette inclosed cars a
augmented latitude
along general service lines and a
briskness of action in which the
Ii yhter models share even more con-
spicuously."

Drilling Glass.

The car owner who finds it nee
essary to drill holes in glass will
succeed if he uses the following
method: Grind the points from one
corner of a small three corncred
FL on the bias from the other.
Place this in a bit such as is used
in hard wood. Place the glass to be
bored on smooth surface covered
with a blanket or similar material.
Begin to bore the hole exactly as
II the substance were wood. When
a slight hole has been made sur
round this with putty and fill the
dam thus created with the tErpen-
tine to prevent heating. Do not
press too hard on the drill in bor-
Ing.

HISTORIC NAME
TAKEN FOR CAR
Lexington Maker Inspired
By Sight of Minute Men
Monument.

Lexington motor cars originally
came from the land of the blue
grass thoroughbreds - Lexington,
Kentucky.
The first Lexingtons were put on
the market in 1905, and have been
continuously produced since that
date.
The car took it's name from the
city of it's nativity, but that is the
only remaining link with sthose
early days. For in 1910 the COM
pany was moved to Connersville,
Ind, the scene OF the LeSington's
greatest success.
More Lexingtons now are pro-
duced in one day than used to be
built in a month. And the demand
keeps growing from day to day.
Several years ago, Frank B.
Ansted. president of the Lexington
Motor Company. was touring
through New England and made 1t
4 point to include Lexington, Mass
achusetts, on the itinerary. Upon
arrival there, Mr.. Ansted drove di-
rectly to the village green and
stopped before the Minute Man
statue.
He reverently removed his hat
and for several moments was lost
in contemplation of the magnificent
bronze figure.
At last he spoke, Here is the
symbol of Americanism! Here is
the shrine of inspiration for trou-
blous times! Here is the heart of
humanity!
Wheat greater honor can we
confer upon our product than by
calling it the Minute Man Six%&We
will call it the Minute Man Six
and 1t shall be something more
than a catch phrase or slogan; it
shall be our code of ethics, our
policy. our pledge to the American
people"
