FINDS CARBURETER
TROUBLE COSTLY
Survey Proves Adjustment
Brings Saving of Fuel
To Car Ownefs.'

Automobile owners who are hav-
ing trouble getting expected mile
age out of their gasoline consump-
tion may find that by having their
carbureters adjusted carefully in
creases in fuel economy. can be OBJ
tanned.
This is advice given by the Asso.
ciated Advertising Clubs in a bulie-
tin issued by its vigilance commit
tee reporting investigation of clain;<
made for a carburetor advertised
as sure to save one-hslf to one
third on fuel and to increase the
power of any motor from so to -
per cent.
The bulletin states that tests
by the government Bureau of
Standards was to the effect that the
extravagantly advertised carbure-
tor showed no marks of superiority
over others. and that the govern
ment bureau stated great numbers
of automobiles are being operated
with a considerable excess of fuel
under average conditions and care
full readjustment of the Carburetors
would. in many cases, bring about
worthwhile economy. The govern
ment bureau also pointed out thai
the apparent superiority of some
carbureters for which overdrawn
claims are made is due to the care
with which they are adjusted. says
the association bulletin.

Automobile Dealers See Serious
Danger In Indiscriminate Taxation
Of Buyers and Manufacturers

tween the makers and the sellers Of
motor cars. This subject, like the
others we refer to, will be treated
fully in the following pages Of this
bulletin.
Then there is the matter of ma
tlonal taxation plans. The n, A. d.
A. sent to Washington the best com
mittee II could possibly get together
to tell the congressional leaders that
We are struggling now under a
heavy burden and that imposition
of additional taxes might wreck the
industry. In this connection we will
give you just this thought:
THE average sale price Of the
average automobile Is about $1,000.
Five per cent excise taxes increases
this price $3.50. Now, a lot of manu-
facturers have been cutting the
prices of their cars; ono OF them, to
stimulate sales recently. made a cut
OF $50. As we get further and
furthersinto this highly competitive
period. items Of $50 and $50 are GO
ing to represent the difference for
some, between pront and loss.
Well, IL $50 Of the manufacturers
price will help bring back the mar
ket, why wouldn't $50 less taxes
have the same effect? So you see
taxes have a very important bear
ing upon sales. particularly when
every governmental agency of any
kind, State. county. city, school dis
trict even. puts its collector at the
door Of the salesroom and takes its
toll before you can roll tile car from
your floor.
Then there Is the Townsend bill.
In recent weeks we have sent let.
tiers to the entire $4,000 dealers in
the country asking them to get be-
hind their senators and congress
men in the fight for roads that be-
gin somewhere and end somewhere,
We also have protested against the
proposed tariff on oil importations
from Mexico. which II is estimated
will increase the price Of gasoline
to our industry 10 cents a gallon"

IOTHERS TAKE CUE
Lower Figures Announced
When Unexpected by
sN Public.
OTHERS TAKE CUE

The most important feature in
the automobile world during the
past month. says Fred C. Jopp in
The Maryland Motorist, has been
the radical reduction in prices an
nounced for many makes of motor
cars. This condition has taken place
regardless Of all the economic argu-
ments advanced since the first of
the year in respect to the impossi-
bility OF such action in view Of du-
bious business conditions. the price
of materials and the unsettled labor
conditions.
Caused by Buyers.
The only feasible explanation
seems to be the so-called buyers
strike. to which much of the letn-
argy in the automobile trade was
attributed a year ago. When Henry
Ford. last September. started the
first real downward trend Of auto
mobile prices since the war, about
fifteen companies announced reduc-
lions In less than a month. Several
Of these manufacturers stated that
no further change could be expected
for six months or a year. With a
suddenness that many Of the auto
mobile political economists had not
looked for. the present trend OF re-
duced prices set in early in May. and
since then every week has been
marked with the announcement OF
further drops. Since May about
twenty concerns have made price re-
visions downward, ranging all the
way from the moderately nricad
Chevrolet and Overland to cars in
the $4,000 class. such as the Lincoln
and Lafayette.

Case OF Franklin.
The new price of the Franklin
touring car Is s2,650. the four-pas-
senger roadster is $3.50. the brought
am s3.550 and the sedan $3.50.
OF those companies which have
announced lower prices it is inter-
esting to note that seven are among
those that fell in line with the lower
price list last October. being the
Hudson, Essex. studebaker, WHY'S
knight. willys-overland, Maxwell
and Chalmers. As an indication Of
the unsettled conditions and the DIFF
ficulty from the factory standpoint
Of fixing approximately permanent
prices was the announcement Of an
increase Of $50 on Franklin cars. In
September the franklin made reduc-
lions ranging from $500 to $3.50 on
Its different models, so that this
present increase Is infinitesimal as
compared with the generous reduc-
lions still prevailing from the prices
prior to October I last year.
