There is no reason. with any eco
nomic basis whatever, why prices
of automobiles should go any lower
than they are today. Rather to the
contrary. In fact, prices right now
are lower than they should be, hav-
ing regard to the cost of labor and
materials. by which is meant that
many manufacturers will have
great difficulty in escaping loss
this year. even If their sales are
enough to keep plants busy.
But the question today with the
buying public is, What is the right
price for a carr" This question
agitates the manufacturer as well
as the public, but IT cannot be an
swered directly. The only funda-
mental way to go at the matter is
to try to determine what makes
the price of the car.
Argument as to which cars are
the best value for the money are
frequent. but conclusions are hard
to make because there are SO many
different ideals as to what a car
should be. A car costing $4,000
can just as easily be good value as
one costing $500. 1t is merely a
matter OF being able and willing to
pay more for durability, comfort,
economy performance and relia-
bility. 1t is also a matter of what
car is best value for any particu-
lar man. depending upon what he
wants in an automobile. for auto
mobiles are made of different COM
binations of certain definite quail
ties.
Appearance being quality. IL is
less definite than other qualities
and cannot be estimated like other
qualities. 4 large part Of appear
ance is due to design, and some
cheap cars have better lines than
some high priced cars.
The cost of making a car or 2
body is not increased by good lines.
or course. curved surfaces and pam
els are more expensive TO make
than flat surfaces. but the fancy
curves are out OF fashion today.
The other part of appearance
consists of finish. quality of paint
ing, hardware. accuracy in fit of
doors and SO forth. This part of
appearance divides itself between
durability and comfort" Appear
ance OF paint finish and durability
go absolutely hand in hand. APP
pearance of trimming and fittings
is a part of comfort.
II percentage values are given TO
these qualities. il follows naturally
that no car can be 100 per cent
perfect. Take the $4,000 car of to-
day. we can give IL a perfection
figure of merit of a little over rs
per cent.
The Washington herald., 1922-04-23

Here, however, Is the real point
of interest. Each of these quail
ties is obtained at the expenditure
Of work, and IL is largely up to the
manufacturer to decide in what
proportion he will give work 10
each of the qualities. Thus, in the
medium price field we see Some cars
quite speedy, others particularly
well finished in body, others espec-
tally light weight. which means
low fuel cost and long life to tires
1t is interesting to analyze briefly
the five qualities.
Cost of Operation.
Comfort necessitates easy springs.
Springs IL properly made, graded
for different weight bodies. are
troublesome in a factory. They
have to be tested and repaired
carefully. They cost more in the
first place and the selection and ad-
justing Of them cost more.
Next to springs is upholstery
Its comfort depends upon the
springs and material used.
Durability means year after year
performance. 1t is obtained large
~ by the size OF the parts and by
the care with which they are origi-
nally fitted. Larger bearings and
better fitted parts are more eMpen-
sive in the construction Of a car
and should be given due consIdcra-
ton by the purchaser.
Economy is different thing
The liShtnst vehicle with tn,
smallest engine power will cost
less 10 operate. but there is a limit
The manufacturer Of a quality
car has a serious problem right
here TO handle. Suppose he lays
out body with a desired degree
of comfort and space. Then he sets
a desired degree OF performance
These two will fix the power "a
weight ratio moro or less. The
lower weight is trimmed. the less
power is needed and the greater
economy. So to gain the latter. ne
must use the highest grade mate
rails, work them with the creates
skill. and eNpend extra work in
cutting of every needless ounce
from all parts.
Performance means high power
TO weight ratio. The larger en-.
6'''NH ~ NAAS ia = nv EAA AAAS NlS 4AlN
whichever is used will cost more
and as has already been said in
discussing economy, that reducing
the weight instead OF increasinE
the power is costly in terms OF
work
Reliability is often confused with
durability, but is not the same
thing. Reliability usually depends
upon the care with which a car is
put together. Taking car with
bearing surfaces and so on which
will insure any given degree OF
durability. its reliability will de-
pend upon everything in that car
being as it was intended to be
Reliability is measured in the fac
tory by the time given 10 inspec-
tion. assembly and testing. Conse.
Quently il also costs work

Newspapers and Mud Holes,

1t is not an unusual thing to be-
come stuck in a mudhole. especially
at this time Of the year. Carry a few
old newspapers in one OF the pockets
or under the sats. They afford good
traction for the wheels and will assist
greatly when pulling out Of the mud
Never speed up the engine and
jump the clutch. This will only
cause the wheels to spin and dig
deeper into the mud.
The Washington herald., 1922-04-23
Gone Clutch Care.

Castor oil or noatSfoOt oil is best
for softeninE leather conc clUth.
First clean the leather and scrapc
the glazed surface: then apply The
oil and allow it to penetrate the
leather over night. Graphite and oil
arc used on mctal-to-metal Cluthcs.
The Washington herald., 1922-04-23
Service.

When buying a new car owners
have right to expect a certain
amount OF free service from the
manufacturer or dealer. such as Tho
adjusting Of the brakes. clutch. car
bUretor. etc. and repairs which arc
due to defect, a Ioosening n d
bolt or nut. etc.
The Washington herald., 1922-04-23

Comfort to the average buyer Of
an expensive car implies consider
able size. Size means power and
weight, and these mean fairly
heavy gas consumption, but this is
understood by the purchaser OF
such a car.
Go to the other end of the sales
list and take the $500 car and we
get a schedule like this:

the two. let us say $3.50. which

 The committee further proposed that the world conference discuss world peace exposition to be held in 1850 at which the nations of the earth may come together upon com mon ground bringing with them the fruits of peace"
 Educational Plans
 The Towner- Sterling bill now be- fore congress presents q positive pro- gram for the development of public education in the United States Prof George D Strayer of Columbi uni versity said in presenting to the na- honal educational association the re- port of its legislative commission.
 The federal government should as- dst the states in remedying existing defects in our educational system Such aid from the federal govern ment is justified by the very nature of our democracy.
 If we are to be fair to those who come from other lands and if we are to preserve American institutions it Is of the utmost importance that program of education which will pro- vide for the Americanization of the foreign born be developed through out the nation.
 "A large percentage of teachers in American public schools have neither the education nor the professional training necessary for efficient serv ice. It is estimated that there are 80,oo0 teachers in the United States who have no education beyond that furnished in ne-teacher rural ele- mentary school
 For the whole of the United States not more than 25 per cent of the teachers hold licenses which require two years professional training beyond High school education, standard which has been acknowledged as proper minimum preparation for teaching in the elementary schools"
