Haynes Fifty is the famous Haynes
light six engine, which gives the smaller
and lighter car such power and enables
Il to develop exceptional speed.
The high. broad-arched hood gives the
new car an imposing appearance. while
the brilliant lustre of the rich Brewster
green finish and the genuine leather up
holstery stamp the new car as being
fully up to the approved Haynes stand

Springs Replace Axle in PARENT.

One Of the most unusual of the new
cars Is the PARENT air cooled automo-
bile manufactured by the PARENT Motors
Corporation of Buffalo.
This car replaces the conventional old
steel frame chassis and metal body, with
a body Of five ply wood. The frame con-
sists of two panels of five ply wood
twelve inches wide and three-quarters of
an inch thick, which runs the entire
length of the body. Cross members are
also of ply wood On this is mounted
the body. According to the company the
structure weighs less than 300 pounds.
yet is stronger than that of the ordinary
car. The company aims at the reduc-
ton of inspiring weight in order to Sc
cure greater mileage on gasolene and
tires.
The pressed steel plate that joins the
ends of the plywood frame members car
ries four steel tubular spring hangers,
two for each spring. The springs are
carried from these hangers by means of
light forgings, which do not hold them
rigidly but allow them to move freely.
These springs form flexible axles for the
car, eliminating the usual steel axles.
The springs, which are of high vibra-
tory type. extend clear across the front
of the car from wheel hanger to wheel
hanger. Pressed steel tie rods. each
having a bearing at one end on a spring
hanger and at the other on a wheel
hanger, hold the wheels in alignment and
compel them to rise and fall vertically.
Inasmuch as the springs tend to lengthen
as they flatten out their outer ends are
coiled around eccentric bronze bushings
In the wheel hangers. and as the wheels
rise these bushings are forced to turn,
inasmuch as their centres are held sta
tionary by the tie rods and thus this ap-
parent lengthening is taken up. This
serves a double purpose in that any
tendency Of the wheels to spread Is over
come and the springs are never cramped

| no matter how large bump Is en-
countered
The result of this construction Is
briefly as follows: The springs them
selves form the flexible axle. The wheels
ride up and down at the end of levers
formed by the springs and tie rods, so
that no blows are delivered directly to
the body. but are minimized by this lever
construction by the time they reach the
spring hangers. PARENT wheels may rise
and fall as much as six inches without
disturbing the balance of the car.
1t is this construction which allows the
| PARENT to be driven in comfort at speeds
of from thirty TO forty miles and hour
over rough roads.
The same principle used on the front
axle is applied to the rear Three springs
| take the place of two in the front and
are arranged in triangular position
| one at the top and two at the bottom.
The two lower springs carry light loads
| over normal roads under which condi
tions the top spring Is idle. In carrying
heavy loads over abnormally rough roads
the top spring comes into action, making
the Parenti the fret car ever designed
with a variable spring factor In the
rear to give maximum riding comfort
under all conditions of road and load.
| The differential gears brakes and
drive shafts are carried on the body as
sprung weight, being attached to the
/ four spring hangers. and thus retain n
! fixed relation to the motor, doing away
with variable angularity of the propeller
shaft as we'll as diaphragmatic action
The drive is carried from the differential
gears to the wheels by means OF two
short drive shafts. one on either side,
which are equipped with flexible disk
universal joints at either end. thus al
lowing the wheels to rise and fall freely
and Independently and at the same time
delivering to them a steady flow OF
power. A gasolene tank of fifteen gall
Ions capacity covers this construction
completely. giving the PARENT a neat
] appearance from the rear.

BUICK IMPROVED IN
BODY AND MOTOR
Large Four Passenger Coupe
Has Been Added to 1921
Line.

Improvements In body design are
what would first impress an observer
of the new Buick 1921 models" says H.
II. Bassett. president and general man
ager OF the Buick Motor Company. yet
those who are mechanically inclined will
hnd that the changes have not been
confined to improved body types alone.
The mechanical refinements are many"
The new Buick line includes seven
models. four closed and three open body
types. A large four passenger coupe is
an addition to the Buick 1921 series.
The radiator, hood and cowl lines have
been improved, to give the cars low
slung, graceful appearance To make
easier the adjustment and care of work
ing parts in the motor and on the
chassis a number of improvements have
Teen made. For instance, the adjust
ment OF the clutch can now be made
with q wrench beneath the floor board.
while batteries in the closed models are
likewise accessible through small door
in the floor boards. Water can be
drained from the radiator by simply
turning a handle inside the hood, and

Smoother riding qualities have been
insured by improved spring suspension,
Front springs on the closed cars, as well
as on the seven passenger open car, nave
been equipped with snubbers.
All open models are equipped with
new Buick designed top. which by elm
mating an additional bow leaves u
clear view in all directions. Side cur
tains that swing with the doors are pro-
vided in all open models. Top irons nave
been eliminated, but may be attached
If the owner wishes to drive with his
top down.
All closed models are equipped with
gasolene gauge registering on dash {;
open models with gauge located on gas
tank. Closed models have anti-glare
sunshades and improved windshield
cleaner.
Features of the various models are

Collapse of German Marks
Factor i'm Unsettling
Markets; Stocks Turn
Lower Toward the Close

With . collapse in German marks to
the lowest level ever quoted In tho for
eign exchange market. there was weak
ness yesterday in the principal centers
Of speculation, following the recovery
which continued through last week.
Tho decline In marks to $4,000 Of a
cent, which was reflected in a decline
in the other European exchanges, nota-
bly, francs and lire, was an expression
of the strained Teuton financial posi-
tion after the paying on August 81 of
the last reparations instalment this
year. In some quarters it was sug-
gested that for political purposes eff
forts are being made artificially to de-
press the mark, and in this connection
attention was called to the fact that
for most products the purchasing
power In Germany Of the mark is
greater than Its exchange value.
In foreign trade quarters 1t was re-
marked that German merchants were
quoting prices for some commodities
which made trade improbable to them
selves and which involved sweating
German labor. Leaders in this field
are known to be talking over among
themselves the advisability of formally
recommending that the Preparations
Commission advise Germany to make
their prices on export articles high
enough to keep the country solvent and
able to pay PREPARATIONS and to give a
living wage and increased purchasing
power to German workers.
Against the background Of the de-
preston in the foreign exchanges there
were drastic reactions in the stock
market, In cotton prices and in grain
quotations. All were interrelated and
were due to large extent to the tech
nical positions of the market, which
were weakened by the marked upward
movements of the last few weeks.
The speculative leaders were the
main targets of selling in the early
trading Mt the Stock Exchange and re-
acted severely. Later in the day there
was partial recovery and some issues
turned decidedly firm. Rails were less
affected by the selling movement than
the industrials, and net changes for
most stocks, which closed lower, were
moderate, particularly in view Of the
strength of preceding weeks.
The reaction in cotton influenced the
course Of stock price fluctuations. Close
quotations at the close were easy and
80 to 120 points lower. Rallies were
met by heavy offerings, and there was
lack Of confidence in the stability Of
the new prices, which are so high above
the levels prevailing month ago. The
rule limiting fluctuations in a single
day to 200 points had to be invoked to
check the decline in October quotations
which fell from 21.50 to 1880.
Profit taking in the wheat market,
which paralleled the Cotton Exchange
movement, brought prices down 81s to
Az cents net.

Optimistic on Motor Industry

An industrial banker, whose activities
have brought him into close contact
with the automobile manufacturing in
dustry, takes an optimistic view of the
outlook. 81 think" said he yesterday,
"those who are talking bearishly about
the trend of the industry are not fully
acquainted with the facts. Tho motor
car industry, although suffering from
the general slump in business, is more
than holding its own. There may be
some curtailment of production this
fall, but the prospects of a big year in
1922 are extremely bright. One thing
to keep in mind is the fact that huge
number of cars which are now falling
to pieces is certain to be replaced on
the first signs of business revival" The
banker said in response to an inquiry
that he thought the drastic reductions
in the selling prices of motor cars
were stimulating buying and so &C
complishing the end sought by the
manufacturers.
