MAKES
BOW AT BOSTON SHOW
Two-Passenger Car Has Weight of
Less Than $50 Pounds, But Is
Able to Stand Road Shocks.

One of the entirely new things to
Boston automobile show is the
"Scootamobile." a two-passenger au-
tomobile the total weight of which
is under $50 pounds.
1t is claimed it will have a maxi
mum speed of thirty miles per hour,
VIII travel Seventy-fve miles on a
gallon of gasoline, will seat two peo-
pie side by side and will be housed in
for protection in all weather.
Ihe designers say the car is made
almost entirely of aluminium alloy
and magnesium metal. has a five
horsepower opposed motor and sliding
gear transmission and has no univer-
slbie ounce that could be spared has
been taken out. it is claimed, yet the
machine is amply strong to Withstand
all kinds Of road shocks.
The parking and garagfng problems
are becoming serious. This machine
is made narrow enough to be pushed
through an ordinary doorway and be
parked in the office or the front hall.
c. H. Martin. the inventor of the
new car. says: although it will not
be ready for the market for some
time. we are exhibiting itSor the pur-
pose of inviting criticism and sugges-
tionS from dealers and users. Before
offering it to the public we propose
subjectinC ii to months of 1ueling
tests. We cannot yet determine just
what the selling price will be. but be-
cause of the cost of the material of
which j. is made-from 90 cents to 81
pound-it will probably be the high
est-priced automobile for it's weight

building a system of highways in
their respective states: also to make
an appropriation and adopt a plan for
system Of national and transcon-
tinental highways. Failure of Con
Sress to re-enact this appropriation
has aroused good roads advocates and
they are coming to this meeting.
The meeting of the Bankhead High
way Association is for the purpose Of
and branch lines of this road from
Washington to San Diego. Cal. also
to arrange for permanent signs, to
build and beautify this highway. The

be the most complete exhibit of road
machinery and road material. of oper-
ating machinery and demonstrating
+, ad building that has been assembled
in this country.

atives. senators and governors have
promised to attend If they can ar
range their affairs.

TEMPORARY SHORTAGE
OF MOTOR CARS SEEN
Decrease in Production Has Been
Followed by Better Demand
as Season Opens.

The country is facing an acute
shortage Of motor cars this year. in
the light Of recent developments in
the industry. according to Walter
e. Davis, Secretary and sales man.
ager of the Davis Motor Car Com
pany Mr.. Davis says:
six months ago motor car manu-
facturers were forced to decrease
their production in the face of what
seemed heavy overproduction. Then
business conditions started on a
steady upgrade. Buying in every
line of business has been renewed.
and the spring buying season in
the automobile market has opened
most ausplciously. 1t takes time to
recover full production activity after
it has been curtailed Meanwhile the
demand is increasing daily.
Many prospective buyers are GER
unless they order early. There are

tion is on the increase. but it will
require several months of ektraordi-
nary production to overcome the
shortage caused by several months
of curtailed activity.
f'The shortage will be only tempo
rary, because the automobile industr.
can potentially expand to care for
the demands of almost any market

RIGHT WAY AND WRONG
TO PARK AUTO AT CURB
Damage to Tires Shown in Bump
ing and Scrap

How do you park your car? Though
parking ordinances in cities differ, they
all require driving up to the curb. Right
here many tire injuries are born. The
motorist driving up at the proper angle
unconsciously depends in measure
upon the curbstone to stop his car
Naturally the impact flattens and strains
the tire carcass.
In driving parallel to the curb the tire
side walls are ordinarily rasped against
the stone. The edges of the tread suf-
Ter, too. OF, course, the poorly nfia ted
tire suffers the most as the reSiliency
of proper imitation is lacking. 1t is
in this way, say Miller tire men, that
rim f1anges are bent.
Where the mOtorist drives almost head
on against the curb. the carcass is
bruised either near the middle of the
tread or close up to the rim. Where
the parking angle is sharper. the bruse
is further to the side The resulta MT
roughened place on the inside of the
carcass constantly chafes the tube.
Such condition is responsible for many
a tube going fiat without apparent rea-
son.
A careful driver coasts to a stop. first
throttlng down his engine and applying
his brakes gently. 1t is not necessary
to drag the wheels bump the curb.
The Skillful driver is repaid in lessened
depreciation and repair. The more
reckless owner, however, can take COM
fort in the fact that such tire injuries
are in almost every case repairable if
taken in time.
