BODY CHANGES IT'S
OPERATING PLANS
TO HELP DEALERS
Says Change Is Made to
Meet Economic Condi-
tions in u. S.

Future membership In the Ma
tional Automobile Dealers Associa-
tion will be limited to those mer-
chants who have been in business
two years. who have first class
credit and financial rating and who
carry not only the Endorsement of
their fellow dealers. but the conf
dence of their buyers. This in ef-
feet was the decision reached by
the board of directors of the or
eanization In the quarterly meeting
at headquarters at St Louis re-
Gently.
Membership dues in the organiza-
payment of $40 per year to a grade
Of classification Of $50 per annum
as the lowest dues and $3.50 as the
highest. The new regulations are
effective January ]. 1929.
The change is made to meet the
economic condition" is the state
ment issued by the association and
signed by the board OF directors
who authorized the change.
The chief support of the asso-
citation in the past" the statement
continued, has been from the larger
dealers and distributors of the
country who have voluntarily con-
tributed 800 per annum to the as
sociation's financing. The chief
service demands have been made by
the members who have contributed
$40 per annum. -
The time has come to make the
association mean something fnan-
cially to the man who has contrib
uted deeply to its support. To be
so IL must place its finances upon a
larger basis in order to meet these
larger expenditures needed to OBJ
tain larger benefits.
The association has perfected a
plan TO render an individual service
to individual members which will be
more valuable TO them than IL costs
The association was organized
largely to meet the political men,
aces which surrounded the indus
try. According to reports of asso-
citation headquarters these political
considerations have largely been
fulfilled. there being virtually no
business of this kind now before
the association for settlement. The
need Of the merchant of the future
is something that will assist him
economically and future policies of
the association will be adopted to
meet this need. While not at lib
erty to announce the plan at pres
ent the trade may confidently look
forward to seeing the n. A. d. A. in
new and commanding field"
The board accepted the resigna-
tion OF Harry d. Austin, of Seattle,
director OF the Pacific Northwest,
and elected A. S. Eldridge, of Seat
tie, the Buick distributor there. his
successor.
To permit the working out of the
new plans. the following changes
were made by the board in the asso-
Citations bylaws:

Carry Auto Tire
In Proper Place;
Five Ways Given

Better methods of carrying tires
are being introduced gradually but
there is still room for much i'm
provement in many instances as
will be seen from a study of the
faults and good points in the car
rfers used by various manufactur-
ers. There are advantages and dis
advantages in nearly every type so
that 1t Is not easy to draw conclu-
sions which will apply in all cases,
but certain general observations
are possible.
First, the carrier should be so
placed that. 1t and the spare tire or
tires will be in harmony with the
body lines and not offend the eye.
The bracket should be substantial
in appearance and not give the i'm
preston that 1t was stuck on" as
an afterthought.
Second, in most cases II is better
to attach the support to the chassis
than to the body, for such mount
ing is apt to be more secure ana
there is less danger Of injury to
the body frame and panel in case
of rear end collision
Third, the locking device should
be simple and effective. free from
TdtbC duu pIClcTdDiy SO arranged
as not to require tool to operate.
unless operated by the same wrench
used in removing the wheel from
the axle or the rim from the
wheel.
Fourth. devices which bear
against the shoe or the shoe cover
are preferably eliminated. Sockets
or depressions in which the spare
is nlaced and in snme casas tho
carrying irons. tend to chafe the
casing or its cover. Depressions
are apt to hold some moisture
which causes deterioration. Straps
collect dust and soil the hands.
Fifth, the carrier should be ac-
cessible and require as little lifting
of the tire as possible. cit should
not have to be held on the bracket
with one hand while the fastening
device is screwed up or locked with
the other. These are important
points especially in the case of cars
driven by women Motor Trans

ficuIty whatever In making the. trip
to Pinehurst. although there Is one
very rough stretch beyond the new
bridge across the Roanoke.
On the other route from South
Hill to Durham the road Is fine to
Clarksviile. but Is under construc-
ton from thera to within a few miles
Of Durham. which will render II very
rough this winter. Also, there Is a
detour from Durham, to Cary. ex-
tremely rough and sometimes danger
Gus. so that one will find 1t advantage
ous to go over the new brige, although
this Is contrary to some Of the re-
ports which are being sent out.
From New York to Washington the
road is open over both routes and is
in fine shape, the preferred one being
from New York via Bordentown and
Mt. Holly I, Philadelphia. a. route
which avoids nearly all OF the multi
farious motor trucks between the two
towns. From Philadelphia to BaIti-
more tourists Choose the route by
way of Oxford end Conowingo. which
avoids the heavy traffic between
Philadelphia and Wilmington.
The new work from Wilmington to
the Maryland line Is practically
finished with only a very short detour
on the old road. and Is mostly con-
crete. A good suggestion for a first
nights stop within A. short distance
out Of New York on this route is
at Harve-de Grace, where a new and
ultra -modern hotel has been erected.
From Washington to Richmond the
road IL In better shape than ever be-
fore, the concrete stretch across
Chopa wamsic Swanmp having been
completed, and the last ten miles into
Richmond being also excellent maca-
dam and concrete Just finished.
A new concrete and gravel road
has been completed through Stafford
c. II. which decreases the distance
SO that now one may make the 131
miles between the two cities easily
In six hours.
On the fourth day one NAV go ALI
the way to Pinehurst, a distance of
23s miles. or The trip may BE- broken
at Henderson or Raleigh over roads
which are about nine-tentbs smooth
sand CLAY and gravel. From Raleigh
to Pinehurst the excellent road ex-

Space of 100000 Feet.

The Oakland Motor Car Company
has just completed an addition 10 the
motor plant at a cost OF approximate
ly 100000. This new addition has
added 100000 feet Of ofor space for

lied on and since that time all Oak
lands have been six-cylinder models
The entire plants and machinery
have been modelled and designed for
the large production Of Oakland sig
cylinder cars. George II. Hshnum.

years has resulted in manufacturing
facilities and experienced employees,
which will be called upon this year
for the production Of the latest model

This activity OF the Oakland Motor
Car Company for big production is
in line with the recent statement
of p. S. du Pont. president OF the

Oakland Motor Car Company will be
developed and expanded TO its fun
possibilities along with the other units
Of General Motors.

Highway Prosperity.

Transportation is a subject OF
greater general interest to every
citizen of the United States today
than ever before. Briefly. the rea-
son is that transportation touches
every mans pocketbook.
In the recent past the railroad
problem Of the country has come 20
receive a large measure OF public
attention. Huge operating deficits
have. as a matter OF fact. been
spread by a pro-rata assessment
throughout the country, resulting
from government operation and
financing.

This Country Sells
Locomotives Abroad

The Mexican railroad administra-
tons purchase Of ninety-one loco
motives in the United States has
been followed by an order from the
Pekin Kalgan Railway, of China,
for forty-two locomotives. The lat
ter are to be made by the American
Locomotive Company at an esti-
mated cost Of s2.60o.Oo0. The con-
tract calls for construction of Pa
cific. Mikado and Mallet types of
engines. The railroad ordering this
new equipment is owned by the
Chinese government. and the fnanc-
ing has been arranged Jointly be-
tween the American Locomotive
Company and Mitsui and Company.
This is added evidence Of the
growing recognition of American
supremacy in the construction of
railway equipment.
