MOTORING COSTLY
FOR AUSTRALIANS
Cars Cost Twice American
Price and Gas Is go
Cents a Gallon.

Aside from the fact that Australian
motorists keep to the left side of the
street while driving instead of the
right. there are many other differ
ences between automobiling in Aus
tralia and in America" says r. J.
hancock, director Of bort sales in
factory in Flint.
Mr. Hancock who has Travelled
10000 miles to learn more about
American built cars. reports that
business Is booming in the island
continent. particularly as regards the
sale OF automobiles, and more par
ticularly as regards the sale of Amer
lean made cars.
:, Al least IS per cent Of all the cars
IL Australia. and there are over 100,-
600 cars. are American made" says
Mr.. Hancock. The balance are Eng
lish. Italian and French cars Aus
tralia Is rapidly cultivating the
American idea Of trading in cars
after a neriod of two or three years.
This undoubtedly is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the popularity of the American
car, which actually gives more value
for the money in that time than
European automobiles. 1t is recogniZ-
ed that the majority of European
| cars are constructed on a more solid
| and lasting basis. which. of course.
necessitates higher selling cost
but fashions in models change. and
people over there like to he up-to-
date, and. therefore, prefer to pur-
chase the American car and trade
| in more frequently.
Cost of Motoring.
| /. THE cost of motoring is much
| higher in Australia than in your
! country. continued Mr.. Hancock.
Take the Ford for instance. The
, touring car which is sold in the
| ITpitad States for S0qS corpro III (,
100000 over bhere. However. 1t
| must be understood that the Ford is
| fitted with a differently built body of
a much superior quality and finish, as
| four touring. which is listed in the
! states at $885.00. is sold for $4,000 90
| in our country. The difference. al
| though being very great, is easily
| least $4,000 for duty. boxing costs,
| freight, insurance and other trans
portation charges.
"Australians demand more luxur-
] iously appointed bodies. more ample
seating accommodations. reclining
! seats and longer. lower bodies than
| Americans. Consequently, most Of
! the cars running on the other side OF
| the Pacific have Austrailian-b built bod
| les. These bodies Withstand the diff
| ferent road conditions very much bet
| ter than the imported product.
! Il believe" Mr.. Hancock said. that
the most noticeable difference be-
tween the position of the automobile
| a broad and in this country is the
| fact that in America cars are of the
| more utilitarfan type. while in Aus
! tralia. although the automobile is be-
| coming more of a utilitarian product,
! nevertheless. pride of ownership and
| comfort are still predominatfng fea-
! lures.

fair condition, but subject to weather.
The latest route reports received by
the National Motorists Association are
as follows:

MOTOR TRANSPORT
GROWS IN EUROPE
Adjustment to Railroads and
Other Traffic Facilities Civ
en- Serious Study.

Responsible government officials the
world over now recognize the utilitarian
value OF the motor vehicle as an Gle
ment in transportation, according to
PSke johnson. representative of the
National Automobile Chamber of COM
merce, who has just returned from a
study of transport conditions abroad.
Mr.. johnson attended the fourth ses-
sion of the international Road Congress
at Seville. where some 500 of the lead :
ing highway officials of the globe gath
cred to exchange information and
views
The dominant note at Seville" said
Mr.: Johnson. was a general recog-
nitlon that motor transport is on a
permanent basis abroad as well as in
the United States. and with this in
mind. discussion centered on ways and
means of giving its use the broadcast
possible economic application.
VIII Organize Transport.
Among the resolutions passed were
those calling for governmental aid for
motor bus lines in communities and
countries where inadequate facilities
now exist; the need for uniform ira fIic
rules and regula ton: for progressive
studies into city and rural planning to
allay congestion and for centralized
authority in dealing with highway
problems
"Other sections dealt with the phys-
ical side of highway construction and
design, including methods of relocating
and widening highways, types of
maintenance and other engineering
problems"
conditions in Europe. Mr. Johnson
found that questions of finance. CO.
ordination of motor with other forms of
transport and that of handling traffic
in congested areas are the subjects up
permost in the minds of government
officials.
Railroads Want Motor Cars
I'm England. for example" he pointed
out. .'pariament has only recently con-
sidered bill in which the railroad
companies asked for powers to operate
motor vehicles on the highways. and
while the right was denied. the general
feeling is that the subject has not vet
been closed
Other parliamentary bodies are now
studying the problem of providing Lon
don with new outlets for the ever
growing volume of traffic over the roads
while the question of taxation is under
continued study with view to bringing
governmental budget needs into eco
nomfc relationship with road transport.
steps in the direction of coordinate ed
transport have already been taken with
marked success in France. where rail-
ways are operating long-distance motor
bus lines supplementary opera
ton.
Exclusive Rights Given.
''In Italy movement is being made
in the direction of government aided
highway construction whereby trans
port company is given exclusive rights
to road on condition that it pays
the government the cost of road con-
struction and maintenance.
I'm Spain there has been a marked
acceleration In modern transport with
the result that the bullock cart has
already been replaced in a great many
cases by the car"
From commercial standpoint, Eng
land. Scandinavia, Holland and Spain
appeared to Mr.. Johnson to offer the
best markets at the moment for the
American car. high tariffs operating to
its disadvantage in France and Italy
particularly.

Two Traffic Tricks.

When cars have stopped at a cross
ing ahead coast along ard take it easy.
Sometimes you reach the crossing just
in time to start off with them, thus
saving your brakes, your gears and
your gas. incidentally. you save your
temper for more important use.
When il appears that the car cannot
be brought to stop in time to avoid
hitting the back of the car ahead, do
not try to turn off to the right or the
left II there is other traffic around you.
BY running straight into the vehicle
ahead the bumper has an opportunity
to protect your car and you do not
run the risk of involving other cars
In the collision.

Facts and Figures.

Some idea of the extent of deliberat.
destruction or motor cars by fire for
the purpose of making fraudulent claims
against insurers can be formed from
the fact that during 1922 in the state
