found the Chandler factory one of the most strictly modern I have ever
 visited in my automobile career, and
 have been through several very mod
 ern plants. I found the Chandler fac tory operating on a smaller overhead
 than any factory organization of any
 where near it's size and capacity l
 was impressed with the fact, that there were absolutely no executive pen
 sioners,' nor any other kind of pen sioners, drawing money at this factory
 for doing nothing. 1 have never be-
 fore seen the efficiency manifested by every man, whether workman, clerk or
 executive, as that displayed in the
 task of turning out 150 cars each work ing day.
 MT Messner states that every pos sible method for eliminating waste, and the fostering of every effort and de-
 vice to promote the efficiency of the factory, is employed. ITO my mind
 he says, this explains the reason why Chandler has held down the price on
 it's car to a point that, while the car embodies almost every feature of the
 highest priced cars on the market, 1t is yet under $2,0O0 in price.
 At the present time there are ten

A transaction of very unusual Inter- est to the public and motor car inter ests of the Southwest, was consum mated last week between Cal Messner, w. E. Gardner and company. and the Chandler Motor Car company, whereby Cal Messner becames state distributor for Chandler Sizes.
 Mir. Mcssner arrived in Phoenix Fri day evening from Cleveland, Ohio whence he had gone in the interests of the deal. He spent two weeks at the Chandler plant, thoroughly fami1iariz- ing himself with all details covering the manufacture and distribution of the Chandler cars. While there, he made a closeup study of the question of factory efficiency. and its relation to prices. 'T was particularly impressed, . he states with the fact that therc was an underlying cause for the fact that the Chandler, in cars selling above $500, has shown the smallest increase in price in four years of any car made in this country I determined to as- certain the why and wherefore of some of the substantial increases in price which some manufacturers have made. without materially adding to the in trinsic value of their product.

TRANSP PORTATION PROBLEM SOLVED BY 'ROAD TRAIN

One of the MoreIand road trains, which it is believed will be a large ana important factor in the solution of many or the present day transporta- tfon problems, was driven away from the Burbank plant of the Moreland Motor Truck company, Friday morn ing on demonstration tour among the company's branches and the terri tory lying about them.
 This train was first seen in the In uustriai week parade in Los Angeles. IL IS composed of a four-ton truck with a four-ton trailer, although additional tralierS may be added. The feature Of the train is the airbrake equipment. although there are minor details that enter into the perfection of the idea For a long time trailers have been used, but they have been trailers nothfng more- There have been no satisfactory devices to place them un- der the control of the driver of the truck itself, although many have been tried
 Airbrakes as used in many previous experiments have not always been en- tirely satisfactory. It has been diff cult to secure the speedy release nee essary after the brakes have once been set. to get the delicate gradations of control and to secure a properly work ing compressor After numerous ex- periments and practical tryouts the Moreland experts believe that in this train all of the former difficulties have been overcome.
 The air brake equipment is under the control of the driver through the manipulation of a lever under the steering wheel and may be gradually applied at any needed pressure, or in case of an emergency stop applied in- stantly with full force. The braking pressure is as instantly released or It may be maintained at a given braking force in case of work on grades.
 The trailers are equipped with con- meeting links at either end of such a design that perfect tracking is secured so that on any of the tortous curves they may be called upon to negotiate the trailers will be found following along behind the lead truck anywhere that the truck itself can go.
 These trains being under complete control of one man, will tend to speed up the handling of loads of all kinds, reduce the cost of hauling and relieve one or more men as the case may be. to handle other trains, or for other work. The trains first stop is at Bakersfield.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY AROUSED OVER EFFORTS
 IN BRITAIN TO BAR LEFT HAND DRIVE CARS

American motor car interests are in clined to view the effort being made in Great Britain to prevent the use of cars there having the left hand drive as an attempt actually rostered by the British automobile manufacturing in dustry to curtail the large importa- ton of cars from this country. The American chamber of commerce in London recently issued a warning to American manufacturers of the pos sibility that motor cars driven from the left hand side will not be allowed to remain on the roads of Britain in future The rule of the road for ye- hicular traffic in Great Britain is the exact opposite to that in this country and France. Here and in France the rule of the road Is to the right. In Great Britain the rule is to the left.
 It is almost certain, says the Ameri- can chamber, that special appliances will be compulsory on such cars, and it may be worth while for those wishing to export cars to Great Britain to build them to conform to the traffic laws in that country as. in that way, much ex pense may be saved and accidents avoided.
 Tn this connection the following statement by NJ. L. Hemingway. gen eral manager of the Motor and Access sorry Manufacturers association, who recently returned from a visit to indus trial centerS of Europe, is Of interest.
 'In England more than France he says, ifs opposition to American ag- gressiveness- Some of our manufact- urers of smaller cars. as well tires and a few other accessories constitute to the British mind a real menace to their home industries, and various methods of meeting American competi- ton are being actively discussed"
 Some very strong argument have been advanced in England regarding traffic dangers incident to left-hand driving. One of the motor journals, evidently feeling that this view has been exaggerated, said recently:
 Tt is alleged that they (left- hand = drive cars) are dangerous and that they put premium on accident. Every time one Of these vehicles is involved in any untoward occurrence the daily press makes a feature of the happen ing. and hangs upon 1t story and an argument The thing has gone so far that it is now becoming quite the practice for, drivers to put down to the left hand drive any little lapse from the paths of rectitude-in driving l mean--In which they may be detected. So far I have not seen it advanced as an excuse for exceeding the speed limit. but even that will doubtless come"

UNIVERSITY ON
 WHEELS TO GIVE
 REPA|RLESSONS

The permanent Committee on High way and Highway Transport Educa : ton determined at it's first meeting held at Pittsburg recently that an in- tensive and exhaustive investigation into all phases of highway economics l should be undertaken immediately to provide the necessary data for the es- tablishment of acceptable principles which, in turn, could be effectively translated into material for textbook The purpose of the textbook is to develop the thought power in all com munities on these subjects through the diffusion of authoritative information l.. This educational program which is purely cooperative will be conducted by a permanent organization selected from the nations leading educators and scientists within a few months.
 Just what the committee proposes to do was illustrated by Roy D. Chapin. of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Inasmuch this move ment marks the first time in the his tory of highway transportation that there has been a unification of all in terests. MT. Chapin believes it is pos sible to develop economics of highway travel to the same value as the prin- ciples which govern railroad transpor- tatfon. AS this field of economic en- deavor has been only lightly explored, Mr. Chapin contends that the work of
 
 for a working textbook.
 The committee on vocational training g and extension education is charged with devising adequate methods for extension of education regarding high way transport and automotive subjects in vocational schools and to bring about a closer cooperation between state highway departments and various university extension departments. One of the principal missions of this or ganization will be to substitute wher- ever possible, the gas combustion en- zine as a unit for analysis instead .1f the steam turbine. They will also en- deavor to encourage students in spec ialized knowledge especially in auto motive research and design. The in- dustry has expressed a willingness 10 permit instruction during the summer in factories, with pay.
 One of the outstanding features of the conferences was the decision of the University of Pittsburg to lead the way in the educational movement. They will send out a ''University on Wheels this fall and winter. A completely equipped truck will visit garages m every community for the purpose of a practical demonstration. A lecturer will explain the object of the visit and give lessons in truck operation and re- pair. Various other types of autonlo- tive equipment, including passenger cars and tractors. will be demonstrated Factories will provide motion pictures and other illustrations which will aid in these special courses. Highway en- gineers will cooperate and explain the fundamentals of highway construction. Tn this way it is believed the interest of the farmer and every other pros pective truck or passenger car owner will be stimulated

ID REVIVE FAMOUS FRENCH GRAND PR|X
 RACE IN JULY, 1921

Announcement has recently been re- ceived by motor car manufacturers in this country that the Automobile Club of France has decided to revive the famous Grand Prix race in July. 1921. The conditions are materially different from former events and the entry fees made higher-in fact, the highest that have ever been required for any motor car contest. A maximumu of five cars may be entered by one manufacturer, the fees being 10000 francs for one car, 35,000 for two, 47,500 for three, ST. 500 for four and 65,000 francs for a five-car train.
 The regulations specify that the cars must be equipped with engines of not more than 3 liters, equivalent to 1S3 cubic inches, piston displacement, and a minimum weight of 1,763 pounds with four wheels tires and oil in the base chamber, but without water gasoline, spart parts tools, or spare wheels. 1 The driver and mechanic together must weigh 264 pounds, or sealed ballast to equal the amount must be carried. There are no chassis or body restric- tions other than a maximum length of tail of 59 inches measured from the rear hub cap to the extreme rear. Before the race, alI engines must un- dergo a bench test, when 30 h. m must | be developed for fifteen minutes at l 1000 r. D. m. and 90 h. D. at 1000 r. D. H. | there will be a sixty minute brake test, when the power must not on any oc- casion drop below 90 h. D. at 5000 r. D. m No car can start in the race unless it has successfully passed the bench tests.
 Entries must be sent to the Sporting | Commission of the Automobile Club of l France by December 31. 1920, but later | entries will be accepted up to F'ebru- ary 2S, 1921, at double rates. The course has not been selected. but it l probably will be near Strasbourg. in | AIsace Lyons and Le Mans are bid .

General Sir Henry Marbury of the ministry of transport is chairman of tions, which has held several hearings to determine what action shall be taken. Should left hand drive cars be prohibited, it would work serious harm to our export motor trade, stopping the exportation of the great majority of cars unless those designed for ex- port trade were altered materially, and the expense of making q certain per centage of cars with the right-hand drive would be quite heavy.
 The foreign trade committee of the National Automobile chamber of com merce has discussed the matter, and 1t has been suggested that those manu- facturers who would be most seriously affected by such q prohibitory act unite for concerted action Frederick Cardway, vice president of the Pack ard Motors Export corporation, recent ly addressed a letter to Sir Henry Marburry, calling attention to what he and other American manufacturers re- garded as a trade injustice. In part he said:
 "The great number of left-han drive vehicles in England and right hand drive in America prove sufff- ciently the adaptabflity to any traffic system. The British public have pur- chased American cars equipped with left hand drive, assume because they liked them. If the individual did not care for such vehicles. the dealer han ding them would undoubtedly find it out before long, because he would find no market for his proodcr
 We have quantities of imported right hand-drive vehicles in America, and no doubt British manufacturers expect to ship their product to this l country as soon as they are in a posi- tion to do so. The thought came as to whether We should take in this country similar action. However such 1Stion would be very narrow minded and I l have suggested that in our efforts to i clear the situation we avoid methods
 which are not dignified or which should not by used by men thinking internationally"
 l It is interesting to note that. despite i the general use of lert-h hand-drfv cars i here, there are 13 American motor ve- hicle companies building cars or trucks with right-hand steering. The Fifth avenue buses are all steered from the right-hand side. All of the Ford cars in Great Britain. of which there are a great number, made in the Ford plants in that country, are equipped with the fright-hand drive. while those made in this country have the left-hand drive.

In speaking of the large number of Chandler owners in this part of the country. MT. Messner sand, T want every Chandler owner, no mat ter how long he has had his car. how old it is, what it's condition is. where the owner lives, and every owner hay ing any possible difficulty with hls car which is preventing him from obtain ing the maximum degree of service from it, I repeat, I want every owner to feel that my organization is his, that he can get any service he re- quires, that every man in this organ ization is instructed to let no Chandler owner be dissatisfied in the least Qarti- cular. We want them to come in and let us make their acquaintance at their earliest possible convenience.

QUEER RELICS IF
 INDIA APPEAR IN
 RUBBER SHIPMENT

Travelling more than 12,0OO miles from Singapore, India, to Denver, Colo, surviving nearly six months of voyage and freight transportation without food and imbedded fast in the center of d bale of rubber, a savage beetle ended ing cylinders of one of the huge calen- ders in the plant of the Gates Rubber company.
 The live beetle was only one of the many strange objects which were found in the centers of the rubber bales comprising a shipment of nearly 1,0O0,0 900 pounds of India rubber re- ceived by the Gates Rubber company recently. The specimen of the genus Coleoptera was nearly four inches long and more than one inch across its back
 A workman found it when he cut open one of the bales to be prepared for tire stock The beetle snapped it's long pinchers at him, and with a scur- rying rush scampered from the bale Of rubber to the floor One workman stepped on it. but it's shell was so hard and tough that it was not injured.
 Finally another workman picked the beetle up between two sticks and tossed it into an empty calender and the two great cylinders crushed 1t flat.
 As near as could be ascertained the rubber had been baled nearly six months before in the Gates Rubber company's warehouse in Singapore Apparently the beetle had thriven on it's diet of rubber. judged by the fight it displayed when it was released. It was one of the species which infest the rubber trees of India, poisonous, but savage.
 A myriad of queer objects were found in the thousands of bales which

GARDNER COMPANY ID SPECIALIZE IN
 HIGH CLASS CARS

That the w E. Gardner company will hereafter concentrate upon the marketing of two lines or cars-the Marmon and the CIeveland-was the statement of w. E. Gardner last night. MT. Gardner stated that his firm was now assured of adequate deliveries on these two lines for the coming season, and that his organization was being co-ordinated to handle these two lines.
 The Chandler Six will from now on, be distributed in the state of Arizona by Cal Messner. The deal for the transfer of the Chandler line to Mir. Messner was completed several days ago after a period of negotiation be- tween MT. Messner and MT. Gardner, and later with the Chandler factory.
 Tn speaking of the transaction, Mr. Gardner says: q believe the Chandler Six is in very capable hands. and that all Chandler owners will receive from Cal Messner the very best possible at tention and service. Mir. Aessner has
 built up a splendid organization, ana has very adequate facilities for han ding a big volume of sales on the Chandler line It is the plan of our organization to concentrate upon the sale of Marmon and Cleveland cars. and the service we are arranging in connection with a splendidIy equipped parts department, will be second to none"

From the interest which the Monroe shipment has aroused in Phoenix one can readily see the reason why this car made such a sensation in the East in the light car field.
