TELLS WHY SEDAN
COSTS MORE THAN
THE TOURING CAR
Enclosed Model Requires
/ Longer Period to Build,
Ill Says Mckee.

Automobile dealers are frequently
asked why the enclosed type of car
should cost more than the open tour
ing type.
According to 1. D. Mckee of the
San Antonio Overland Company, there
are numerous reasons why the manu-
facturer cannot offer his enclc sed cars
for the same price as the opening
touring models.
"A motor car body is rather bulky
piece of merchandise and takes up
considerable space" says Mr.. Mckee.
Not more than one nan can WORK
on it except on a very few opera
lions. Take, for instance, demand
for 800 Overland sedans per day.
That means that 300 cars must be
framed, 800 must be fitted with doors,
300 upholstered, 300 must be painted
and so on through all operations, and
each day there must be 300 finished
bodies coming through to the assem-
bling rooms ready to go on the chas-
sis waiting for them.
"In the paint shop alone there Will
will be several days supply waiting TO
dry the various coats of paint ana
varnish. The floor space required will
be considerable. Each body will oc-
cupy about 5x9 feet, or with three
feet of working space arounu 1t for
the workmen, 11x15 feet, or 160
square feet per body. With only the
framing. the fitting, the upholstering
operations and seven paint coats which
have to dry over a period of one Cay
there would be ten operations for
which floor space must be provided.
Three hundred bodies per day, with
ten days supply in course OF produc-
ton, means that 5000 bodies are some
where in the plant. One hundred and
sixty-five square feet of floor space
for each of the 5000 cars means 1885,
900 square feet of floor space devoted
exclusively to body work.
"This is about twelve acres. A
floor 200 feet by 400 feet in size
covers about two acres and six stories
of this size will provide the necessary
twelve acres. Heating the great open
spaces for body work and electric
lighting current and maintenance are
big items of expense. Elevators large
enough to handle several bodies at one
time require large amounts of cur

USE OF IMITATION
PARTS CONDEMNED
BY DODGE DEALER
Satisfaction Possible Only
Where Genuine Used,
Says Wroten. -. /.

The Importance of buying genuine
parts for automobiles cannot be too
strongly emphasized, in the opinion
of George Wroten of the Wroten-
Hundley Motor company, local Dodge
Brother dealers. If repairs or re-
placement of parts become necessary,
he says, it is worth having done in
the most capable manner by an estab.
lished place of business which has the
stamp of approval of the manufacture
er back of the car. ~-.---- -..-4-
"For example," says Mr.. Wroten,
ain Dodge Brothers laboratory at
Dayton test was recently applied to
rear axle shafts. The genuine Dodge
Brothers axle shaft withstood six COM
plete turns in the test for torison
strength, while the best Of several
counterfeit shafts withstood only one
and three-fourths turns. In testing
steering khuckle bolts the genuine
bolts bent double without breaking
when put under a given pressure.
When the same pressure was applied
70 counterfeit bolts, they snapped
without exception, showing brittleness
and defective core.
such tests show plainly that Il il
the best policy for motorists to depend
upon service stations approved by the
factory building their car, for any ser
vice parts that may be required for
such replacement work as may be
necessary. 1t is only here that parts
can be guaranteed as being genuine
parts.
Automobile manufacturers build
their parts for service work as well
as they know how because it is alb.
solutely necessary in order to main.
tain the car owners good will"

increased production. 1t probably will
not be lonb before the Firestone
company reaches a production of 3d.
600 cars a day.
There were a number Of interesting
talks made at the conference. B. NJ.
Robertson discussed the rubber
restriction act, while s. G. Carkhuff
gave some interesting facts about the
raw material used in the manufacture
of tires. He said that it required 49,
100000 trees to produce the rubber
that is used by the Firestone Tire
and Rubber company; that these trees
wonld consume space of $1,000
acres and that il would take a farm
of 10000 acres to produce 10000
600 pounds Of cotton. the amount used
each year by the Firestone."

ESTABLISHMENT OF
MORE STATE PARKS
IS HELD ESSENTIAL
Many People Find 1t In
possible to Visit Ma
:. tional Parks. -

Washington, ID. c., April THE
development of additional recreational
spots for the people of the different
state will be given impetus at meet
ing of the National Conference on
State Parks, to be held at Turkey
Run State Park, Indiana, May z, s
and ., which will be presided over
by Judge John Barton Payne, former
secretary Of the interior, according to
announcement by the National Motor
lists Association.
A statement says: Few movements
of greater interest to motorists, to
friends of the good roads movement,
and the public generally could be given
attention at this time than the one
which Judge Payne an his associates
have undertaken to develop. State
parks are increasing in number slow
ly, but their mission dove tails in with
that OF the areas set aside for health
and pleasure purposes by the federal
government.
at is not possible for as many peo-
pie TO visit the national parks as
would like TO do so, despite the re-
mendous increase in the number of
such visitors since the automobile has
taken its place as an appealing vehicle
Of transportation, therefore the state
parks idea is now coming in for at
tention.
"A program of interest and value
will be carried Que at Turkey Run
Park in May, and a decided incen-
tive TO the purchase or development
OF areas as state marks is expecfed
TO follow. The N. NJ. A. is giving
its full support TO the movement
which will succeed he more quickly
as interest is taken in it by the motor
lists of the different states"

The painting room must be kept alb

And yet no allowance for moving
these bodies from room to room has
been made. They cannot be painted
in the upbolstering room or framed
in the paint shop.

OUTLOOK is BRIGHT
Murphy Says Firestone Expects Rec.
ord-Breaking Year i'm 1923.

The Firestone Tire and Rubber
company is looking forward to one OF
the best years in its history in 1923
according to Joe Murphy, manager OF
the Firestone branches in Houston
and San Antonio, who returned last
week from a conference at the Akron
factory. -
"Never in the history of our com,

MILEAGE is GREATER
Tires Of Today Capable Of giving
Much Longer Service.

1t is no secret that automobile tires
today are far more capable of long
service than they were ten years ago,
or even five years ago.
All of the big rubber companies are
concerned with the one thought of
providing the most possible miles at
the least possible cost per mile of each
tire. The result is that various
changes are made in tee construction
each year. Many of these changes
might seem insignificant to the casual
observer, but in the long run they
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-04-08
mean many more miles to the con-

mean many more miles to the con-
sumner.
After several years of exhaustive
tests, Miller factory experts learned
that with a certain minor change, re-
proximately 1000 miles could be added
to the life Of the tire. Such change,
however, would require the expendi-
ture of a fortune, but it was done at
an expense of S1,336,000.
Whether it has been worth while
may best be answered by the fact that
today car owners are saved approx
mately S50,000,000 annually as the
result of that change.

MARYLAND TAG PRICES
ALMOST CUT In HALF
First of 1924 Licenses, Orange on
Black, on Sale in Bal
timore.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE. December 5.-The first
of Maryland's 1924 automobile license
tags have been placed on sale at nearly
SO per cent less than in previous years.
This reduction from 60 cents to 81
cents per unit of horsepower on We
hicles other than those used for COM
mercial purposes is in accordance
with the provisions of the 2-cent
gasoline tax bill passed at the last
session of the Legislature.
Next year the additional revenue
obtained through the gasoline tax, ii
is expected, will permit the reduc-
tion of license costs TO a nominal
sum, probably a dollar.
Blanks have been sent to 100000
persons in the state and increase
of Is per cent over this number was
Anticipated by officials of the motor
vehicle commissioners office.
It was explained, however, that
reciprocity with the District of CO.
lumbia probably would prevent this
expected increase. Approximately
25,00Q automobile owners in the Dis
trict who otherwise would take out
MARYLAND licenses will be exempt, it
is estimated. if reciprocity between
the state and the District is made
law.
Maryland's 1924 auto tags have
orange-colored letters on black
background.

JAPAN'S INTERNAL
FINANCES HEALTHY
Government Declared in Po-
Sition to Float Foreign Loan
for Reconstruction.
BY f.. II. EGGER.

By Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1893.
TOXIC, December 4-The internal
finance situation in Japan is healthy.
with no possibilities for panic or
serious stringency. according to Jun
nosuka Inouya, finance minister. who
waa interviewed by the correspondent
The government is ready to float for
eign loans when the proper time
comes; however. approval of the re-
construction plans by the diet will be
necessary beforehand" declared the
finance minister. Purchase of recon
struction materials abroad will be
made payable through loans"
The minister pointed out that main
tenance of healthy economic condi-
ton necesSitates the expenditure of
certain amount of government money.
He said:
Need 10 Start Soon.
Certainly politicians and govern
ment leaders understand this princi-
pie and realize that the sooner recon
struction work is started the better
il Will be for the government and the
entire nation. Hence, it is certain
that the diet will approve the project,
under considera tion now, at the COM
launching of active reconstruction
work early next year, when materials
purchased abroad begin to arrive.
Leading banks. with the assistance
of the Bank Of Japan, are supplying
commercial and industrial concerns
with reconstruction capital and
everything indicates that normal con-
ditions are being maintained despite
the heavy drains upon our financial
institutions"
Ready 10 Assist.
The minister declared that the gov
eminent is ready to assist the fire in
surance companies upon the condition
that 10 per cent OF the insured losses
are paid. An optimistic agreement
between the Osaka and Toxic firms
has ultimately been reached and re
Mobilization of practically every firm
hit by the disa ster is assured.
Quibbling regarding details of the
reconstruction program have been
dismissed, and merely the maneuvers
of various political leaders, who are
seeking TO advance their selfish in
terestS. remain to retard the recon
struction project. 1t is not Ques-
tion of what improvements should be
included in the program, but rather
prompt action is imperative. Thou
sands of workmen are idle and will
remain so until the reconstruction
program is launched.
