Six-Cylinder Type Seems
Popular for Passenger

MANY NEW DESIGNS

Manufacturers.
ny FRANK Il. LoCKHAL.

After all. most Of Us, consciously
or unconsciously. are governed by
the law OF averages. We just nat
urRlly do what the majority Of folks
do, because We have come to appre-
ctate that IT Is not often that ma
jorities 60 wrong.
And so, when We come to the i'm
portant question of selecting a new
motor. car, the question OF what the
majority OF manufacturers are
doing In connection with this and
that important feature of design Is
most interesting and helpful-for 1t
is a fact that the manufacturer
usually produces the articles for
which there Is the most urgent de-
mand. for by so doing he eases of
on sales resistance and makes
quicker progress.
readers what the majority of manu-
. facturers are doing with respect to
he- most important features Of de-
sign and thereby aiding them in the
selection of q new car, typical from
stem to stern. and therefore repre-
q tentative Of the car demanded by
the majority OF motorists, the fol
lowing analysis OF motor car de-
sign Is presented:
I Considering engines, the six-cyl-
Under type seems greatly favored
considering, Of course, only passen-
ger-car types. Roughly, 50 per cent
OF our manufacturers are turning
out cars powered with six-cyIinder
engines, with about 40 per cent
making four-cylinder types; per
cent turn out eights, and Q per cent
work on twelve-cyIinder models.
In this connection, however, II is
interesting to note that over the
past year the six-cylinder engine
has lost some ground. the percent
age Of makers using II being some
what lower this year than last, al
though the change has not been
great Most of the shifting has re-
suited to the advantage of the four:
but the eight-cylinder car has also
made some new converts over the
past twelve-month. while the twelve
has lost some adherents. It Is
worth noting that this year the

FLORIDA is HONORED

The elevation of Bishop Michael ]. Curley of
the Roman Catholic diocese Of St. Augustine,
comprising all of Florida east of the Apalachicoa
river, to be Archbishop of Baltimore is an honor
richly deserved and worthily bestowed. 1t has
been the great privilege of the publisher of the
/ elegram to know more or less intimately of
Bishop Curley for a number of years. To a
newspaper man his outstanding characteristics
have been splendid breadth of sympathy and un-
Outstanding, an unfailng generosity Of spirit, a
fine of federation and keen perception of
the trend of the day both as regards spiritual and
worldly affairs. Of course his marvellous intel
lcct, combined with unusual ability as an orator.
places him in the very front rank among the
clergy of his church. Whenever he went north
and was asked to ofciac and preach his coming
was heralded with JOY. Possessed of rare mag
netic powers, he has added day by day to his
circle Of friends until they are now legion Florida
gives to the church most distinguished son and
loyal citizen. 1t is light honor to follow in the
footsteps of Cardinal Gibbons in the great see of
Baltimore but those who know Bishop Curley
know that no choice could have been made of
anyone better fitted by education, by tempera-
mcnt, by training and by genuine ability than
the man whom Rome has called to this higher

of the historic river Shannon and at an early age
selected the priesthood as his Iifes work. His
subsequent education, begun in his native town,
continued in Limerick at the Royal Irish Univer-
sity, and finished at Rome, was conducted with
the priesthood always in view. He was remark
ably precocious student, familiar with Latin,
Greek and French at the age of nine, when most
students pursuing elementary studies and
receiving first grade certificates for proficiency
in elementary chemistry physiography and math-
ematics at the age OF twelve entered the Uni
versity at Limerick at sixteen and enrolld
in the Propaganda University at Rome when he
was 81. He was man of the broadcast culture,
but his chief claim to the love and affection of
his people, after ALL rested in his warm hearted
ness and constant zeal for service.
He did great work for the church in Florida
to which he came in 1904, being first appointed
resident pastor of the mission at DeLand. He
consecrated bishop in 1914 by Bishop Kiely of
Savannah assisted by Bishop Donahue of Wheel
ing and Bishop Corrigan of Baltimore. At that
time he the younget member of the Catholic
hierarchy in the United States. Forty new
churches and chapes in the diocese of ST. Au-
gustine bear testimony to his zeal and efficiency
There are 60 priests in the diocese and Is stu
dents for the priesthood where there were for
merly but two. His eloquence and personal mag
netism always insured him audience whenever
he visitd Tampa, and our citizens without re-
gard to denomination will join in congratulating
him on his elevation to his high post
