Doubtless the cheap closed jobs in.
troduced toward the end Of last year
will help make another increase in
the 1922 proportion Of closed cars.
There is still much to be accom-
plished in connection with the de-
sign and manufacture of such mod.
els. A beginning has already been
made, and it is to be hoped that no
year will pass for some time with
out some new models recording prog.
ress along this line.
The advantage TO the mannfac-
turer through the development OF
such jobs is twofold. Satisfactory,
cheap closed cars will help increase
sales because they open a certain
latent field for sales and thus widen
the market. Moreover. they tend TO
increase fall and winter buying and
thus stabilize the quantity Of sale
and production throughout the year.

AUTO TIPS

A properly fabricated steering as
sembly should never work nard.
Dampness must be excluded as
far as possible from the place
where car is stored. ae'
A motor should never be permit:
ted to-run idle any more than Is
absolutely necessary.
In replacing a shackle. thorough
ly oil or grease the surface Of the
shaft, and II possible, rotate It as
you replace it.
Oil should never be used in a tire
pump. because 1t may be forced
into a tube along with the air,
causing the tube TO decay.
A new car should not be driven
more than 25 miles per hour for
the first 100 miles and 80 miles per
hour for the next 400 miles.

Motor Cars Are
Under a Ban at
Yale University

Word comes from New Haven
that automobiles will not be
deemed q necessary part OF a
Yale undergraduates equip.
ment while at college. II was an
nounced by the university au-
thoritlas today. A formal notice
warned students that automo.
biles must not be kept or oper-
ated around New Haven with.
out special permission from the
deans OF the various schools.
The notice. II is stated. is to
avoid any possible misunder-
standing by students who had
planned to have machines here.
This Is not actually a new rule.
but this is the first time that
attention Is directed specifically
to 1t.

Purse of. $4,000 for WHINE,
How Do They Do IT.

Verify the millennium has
arrived for the automobile
buyer. The latest price-slash-
ing campaign in the industry
has given the general public a
chance to buy cars at levels
in many cases below the pre-
war figure. Many companies
have reduced their prices below
anything that students of the
industry thought possible. AL
these cars are greatly i'm
proved over the pre-war We
hicles. 1t Is almost obvious to
say that never in the history
of American motoring has 1t
been possible to obtain such
far-reaching value for ones
money as 1t is today. The mar
vel. to anyone who knows the
automobile industry well, Is
that the manufacturers can
offer so much for the revised
prices that they are able to
make. II any canny citizen
has been holding off for bar
gains. his time has arrived.

the Oakland dealers at San Diego and
the car was driven by Harry Neville.
1t was not the same Oakland car
that won both the class and sweep
stakes cups In the Yosemite Econo--
my run. indicating the general eco.
nomical operation of the Oakland
car, which is the only car carrying
a $1,000 mile guarantee. The cars
were allowed twelve hours for the
run.
In the sweepstakes award the oil
and water are also taken into con-
stderation. In this case the weight
of the car In tons Is multiplied by
the number Of miles driven and then
ten Is deducted for each quart Of
water and ten for each pint Of oil
used. This result is divided by thi
number of gallons Of gasoline used.

MANY CHANGES
ANNOUNCED IN
NEWFORD CAR
one-Man Top, ventiIating
Windshield, Improved Seats
Among Them.

The first showing OF the new
Ford touring car discloses many
new features. the leading ones Of
which show conspicuously in the
external appearance of the car. The
adoption OF a gypsy type. one-man
top Is the most radical departure
from previous models. and as de-
signed for the Ford touring its use
adds greatly to the beauty OF the
model.
The new, top Is of unusually
sturdy construction, and has many
features which have not hitherto
appeared in top construction Of this
particular type, the side bows are
OF tubular steel with the cross bows
of finely selected wood, carefully
covered with fine fabric.
Reinforcing straps run length
wise OF the top to prevent sagging.
The rear lines of the top are de-
sined to conform to the slope of the
hack of the car giving an un.
broken line which adds greatly TO
the general appearance of the car
with the top up. Two wide window
lights are furnished at the rear.
Ventilating Windshield.
Adding to the gZceful appear
ance Of the new top, this new Ford
model is equipped with a slanting,
ventilating windshield. the top seq.
ment fitting forward to admit of any
desired volume OF breeze. A rubber
weather strip is furnished as
regular equipment, sealing the wind
shield against leaks in storms.
Changes have also been made In
the upholstery and seat design. The
seat cushions are deeper and the
back Of the seats slopes to conform
TO the easiest riding body position.
. An idea Of what this change in
seat construction means from a
manufacturing viewpoint can he
gained from the fact that the re-
quirements for spring steel for the
seat coil springs call for over 5000
miles more Of this material than was
used last year.
Rigid inspection has been adopted
on all body painting and the finish
on these new models Is Of the high
est quality.
Other improvements Of a more
mechanical nature include special
headlight equipment with special
refracting type lenses and a new
21-candle power gas filled bulb.
These lights conform to all State re-.
quirements and yet give a total road
illumination far in excess Of that
required by the law.
Radiator Protected.
The radiator is mounted on
springs which compensate for
weaving in the frame Of the car
and also protect the radiator
against sudden road shocks.
The front radius rods have been
improved through the use Of ia
pered nuts in tapered seats giving
an absolutely tight fit and prevent
ing loosening Of these parts even
under the most severe road con-
ditions.
Spring hangers are now of one
piece construction 50 designed that
they cannot loosen or rattle and
giving better spring action and
riding qualities.
Changes have been made in the
steering gear to give easier and
better acting control of the steer
ing and also to eliminate loosening
and rattling. -
All together there are some thir.
ty-one distinct improvements In
this Ford, all tending to increase
owner satisfaction and to add TO
the road service which can be OBJ.
