MOTORISTS NOW HAVE
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

How far the public has progressed in
its technical knowledge of the car is
strikingly indicated by the literature
manufacturers are putting out this year.
For the analytical study OF the aver
age motorist elaborate charts and photo
graphs Of detail are now offered that
few years ago would have been intel
iigibie only to engineers or automobile
men Of exceptional familiarity with con-
struction.
An example Is afforded In a large and
complete chart of the yelie-built motor
which has just been placed in the hands
OF distributors and dealers for public
exhibition.
The course of the automatic oiling
throughout the motor is indicated by red
lines on another chart. Oil Is circu-
lated to every moving part even to the
piston pins.
The numbers that stop to inspect these
charts and their comments give evidence
of the public's quick understanding and
absorption In every advance in
mechanism.

GOODRICH COMPANY
REDUCES TIRE PRICES

The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company
announces new prices on all its one
quality automobile tires--a reduction Of
from 10 to Is per cent.--a saving to
American motorists of at least $50. .o00.-
600 this year. s
This tremendous saving in cost to the
entire automobile Industry is made in
the face Of determined effort to cor
ner the rubber markets OF the world
by the British and Dutch governments.
Cotton. which is the biggest element in
the cost of the modern tire, is materially
rising in price, and in the face of a
steadily increasing world consumption.
with one of the smallest holdover crops
in years, and with only normal crop
in sight for this year. cotton is bound
to go much higher The Goodrich price
reduction is made in spite of these in
creased costs.
A conservative estimate of the auto
mobile tire bill for the United States in
1922 puts it at more than half billion
dollars, which means that the Goodrich
price reduction on tires will save
American motorists more than fifty
million dollars.

BUSINESS REVIVAL AIDS
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

When the automobile industry stepped
out from under the late business de-
preston and spurred all other Ameri-
can industries to work II was predicted
that the rush OF automobile buying
couldn't last July was given as tho
month when the break would come.
The wiseacres pointed out that the
automobile manufacturer could not pull
out from the rest Of the field and run
all alone. that the making Of automo-
biles would have to slow down and wait
for other basic activities to catch up.
July. however. has come and demand
for automobiles still is brisk. Many
manufacturers still are behind In their
orders. and right when It was predicted
the slump would come II appears that
the farmer with the proceeds of
bumper crop is getting ready<to enter
the market and further increase the de-
mand for cars.
Other industries" says DR.. H. II.
Hills. vice-president of the Packard
Motor Car Company, In charge of dis
tribation, apparently are catching the
pace, and, while still the automobile is
out in front and running alone. general
business over the country Is picking
up"
He based his observations of a gem
eral revival In business on results of
country wide survey just completed.
Reports from farming experts. bankers,
business men, manufacturers and others
In all parts of the country show the
United States has gone to work, that a
sound, steady business stride has been
struck and the whole country IL on it's
way to an era of better times.
The business survey showed the coun-
try is about to harvest a bumper crop
that unemployment throughout the
country Is rapidly disappearing: that
bank savings deposits are Increasing,
foreign trade conditions growing bet
ter. and that when the railroad and
coal troubles are overcome there is every
prospect the country will encounter
nothing to halt it on it's march toward
normal prosperity
Reports from the farm areas showed
that not only Is the great American
farmer preparing for bumper crop, but
he has every prospect OF receiving Il
good price TO rit, and with this in view
he is preparing to step out in the market
and buy. He has been holding tight to
his purse strings for some time, but
now, the reports indicate. he is going
to purchase all those things which he
has wanted but which his native eau
ton has caused him to refrain from
spending money for because Of the busi-
ness outlook.

FIAT RACING CARS
WIN FRENCH GRAND PRIX

Six cylinder engines having bore and
stroke of respectively 65 and 100 nm.
were used In the Fiat liter racing cars
at the French Grand Prix at Strasbourg
July is. in which the Fiat was the win
ner. The cylinders are steel forgings
with common welded on water jacket
for each group of three, while the valves,
two per cylinder. are inclined in the
head and are directly operated by two
overhead camshaf.s. A vertical shaft
and bevel gearing is made use of to
drive the camshafts.
One Of the features OF the new Fiat
racing engines is the rse Of spncia'
roller bearings practically throughout.
The Fiat drivers were Felix Naz-
zaro, Pietro Bordino and Biaeio Naz-
zaro. Particular interest attached to the
temperance Of the captain of the team
Felix Nazzaro. who in 1906 and. 1907
was the most successful race driver in
the world.

EDUCATIONAL RUN

The sales organization Of the Marmon
Automobile Co. OF New York held a
week end educational run from this city
to the Lakewood Farm Inn of Roscoe.
Sullivan county, N. Y, last week.
For a long time S. S. Toback, vice.
president of the Marmon Automobile Co.,
who is close student of sales and
trade conditions, has had an idea that
possibly his own salesmen We're SO close
to the picture that they did not fully
realize what wonderful car they were
selling.
With this idea in view Mr.. Toback
decided to arrange a trip that would
test the touring ability of his cars TO
the utmost and asked z. S. Partridge,
his general sales director, to arrange a 8
hard tour as he could think of In this
section OF the country. Mr.. Partridge de-
cided that trip through the Ramapo
Mountains and Sullivan county in the
feethills OF the Catskills would be the
best place to stage the run.
