Automobile Without
Bumps y

It has been found at last, accord
ing to long story in Tuesdays News
and Observer telling about the auto
mobile without bumps no matter what
condition the roads are in. The Pa
renti is the name Of this new car that
is being brought out; and it shas no
axles but 81 claimed to have power
and agility beyond compare. A dem
onstration on all sorts of roads was
given Tuesday and the reporter who
went along wrote more than a column
in praise of the manner in which the
car co~ld run 40 miles an hour over
rough roads without giving a bump
TO the passengers, even jumping a
ditch eight inches deep with practi-
cally no jar. The reporter says the
car also has as much speed as any
eight-cylinder car now used.
Some of the cars will be delivered
to purchasers by next June, it is said,
while next year many are expected to
be available. The theory of the car
is explained as follows:
1t is all in the matter of spring sus-
pension. The engine is not radically
different in design. It is an eight-cyl-
inder, with the cylinders set at ninety
degrees like the Cadillac and other
eights. 1t is air cooled, and develops
35 horsepower at 2,4OO r. p. m. There
are no axles, and no universal joints.
The differential assembly, and the
drive shaft are built rigid with the
frame of the ca rand the flow of
power from front to rear is unbroken.
Three springs at the rear support
that end, and a jointed shaft transfers
the power from the differential to
the wheels, which are set at the end
of their springs. The front end is
supported by the springs, with the
wheel spindle set in the end of the
spring. There is no inspiring weight
to the car save the wheels, a differ
ence of 500 to 1000 pounds from the
conventional design. Therein lies the
story.

High Points Mill of
Justice Grlnds on
Same as Before
Will Take No Action
On the County Court
Senator Mendenhall Says Proponents
Will Do Nothing At This Session
Take Care of Guilfnrd

Interviewed here last week on the
prospects of a bill in the general as
sembly to authorize the establish
ment of Guilford county court to
supplant the municipal courts of
! Greensboro and High Point, Senator
10. E. Mendenhall, Of this city, said
he had been reliably informed no such
action would be taken.
Such a proposal was made several
weeks ago by members Of the Green's
| boro Bar association, designed, it is
said, to eliminate the present munich
pal courts in the two cities. After a
thorough consideration of the matter,
according to Mr.. Mendenhall, the pro-
ponents of the plan have decided not
to do anything with it at this session
of the legislature.
Guilford county will be well taken
care Of in the states road building
program if the proposed $4,000, 900
highway bill passes the senate next
week, according to State Senator 0.
E. Mendenhall, wro spent the week
end at his home here.
There is no doubt in the mind of the
Guilford man that the bill will go
through by large majority. Under
it's provisions the road to Randleman
and the stretch toward Winston-Salem
would come under the control of the
state.
Mr. Mendenhall said the legislature
hoped to have every mile of the $500
taken over for maintenance by the
state eventually built of hard-surfaced !
material. In discussing the road pro-
groam he said proponents of the
measure felt they had made a good
stroke in procuring an amendment to
include all highways leading to ma
tional parks. AS result of this
amendment the road from Greensboro
to Guilford battle-ground will be un-
der state control.

Plan to Give Hotels Little "Absent
reatment"-May Use Boarding
Houses.
Members of the Greensboro council,
No. 296, United Commercial Travel
ers. composed of over $50 travelling
men. are very much concerned over
the presnt alleged high rates being
charged by hotels and cafes in the
state, according to information given
out following meeting of the coun-
Gil: and unless relief from this cOnd1-
ticn is procured, the organized trav-
cling men propose to take very DELI
Ri e steps to secure cheaper accommo-
dations for the men on the road.
Plans are now being made to Sc
cure list of boarding houses IN the
various towns in the state that will
be able to accommodate two or more
travelling men. A list of these places
will be printed and circulated among
the membership; and with some CO.
operation among the men on the
road, it is possible that the hotels will
realize their position and make lit
tie better rate than they have at
present.
The travelling men realize that laws
regulating rates are not PRACTICAL, but
they contend that just as the conmod-
ity markets were forced down by the
consumers strike, so can the rates in
hotels be forced down by a little cab
sent treatment" on the part of the
men on the road. -
Although most commodities have
declined great deal in price, and
salesmen's commissions have conse-
quently been cut in half, the rates at
hotels and cafes have not been de.
creased, and consequently many OF
the men are finding it imperative that
they cut their trips short, say the
travellers.
A committee was appointed to
make plans for a U. c. I. home,
apartment house, and hotel to be built
in Greensboro. This committee, COM
posed Of c.. c. Taylor, chairman; H. S.
