Whether this legislation. IN part

almost entirely on the attitude Of
the Senate. .
Under House rules it can be
damned through that body. The
Senate Is without rules to expedite
legislation, and a filibuster against
the railroad or the tax legislation
proposed started in the Senate
could block even the appropriation
bills.

Giving Signals.
Common sense demands that all
signals shall be given in ample

unmistakable indication Of inten.
ton; it demands just as much
that all drivers shall be on the
alert for the signals of others and
that they shall never get into such
a. position that they cannot see
signals when given.
Ineligible signals made in sea-
son and properly observed, and
needed, are among the very first
common sense rules of the road.

one of the earlier days, but it pro-
duces results beyond all comparison
and sss trustworthy to the point
where 1t delivers the goods despite
unbelievable abuse and neglect If
the sixteen type of engine doubles
the advantages of the eight. and
greatly exceeds the advantages of a
twin six, it will be acceptable to

The growing popularity Of Fights
Is no. mystery to those who know
what's in the automOtive wind. The
demise of the conventional trans
mission was scheduled for the 1926
automobile show, but the time was
not quite ripe for it, This, the story
goes, is due to the natural difficulty
and time required to popularize the
eights, for the public must be will
ing to accept Fights as it does
fours and skies before the trans.
mission can be done away with.
! once the Fights are firmly
established, once the motorist finds
that they are now being designed
for economy as we'll as flexibility
and power, once the public dis
covers that Fights can be had at
the price OF many skies, or lower,
there will be a market for the
sixteen. And that will solve the
problemN OF the. transmission.
The flexibility of sixteen cylinders
viii provide sufficient torque at
all speeds to render gear changing
unnecessary except for reversing
and in event of emergency. The
smooth clutches of today are al.
most equal to the task of starting
In high, and it is reasonable to
suppose that with a little atten.
ton to this unit. you could, start
your sixteen in F"high' without a
suggestion of stall.
Engineers have frequently pointad
to the fact that the gasoline engine
is more and more approximatinp the
fleXibility and constant toroue ahil.
lty of the electric motor and the
steam engine. BY providing for the
cisslpatlon OF friction between the
clutch plates you could get high
loTque out or your sixteen for a
smooth yet positive start and still
be able to throttle down to a Green
ing speed without a suggestion of
bueking and skipping.
10 the motorist who is so busy
using his car that he has little time
to tinker with it the complications of
the sixteen will at once be over.
snadowed by the possibility of having
flow of power at his command even
when two or three spark plugs or
valves were not working properly.
It's the enormous power and per.
formance ability of the sixteen that
leads one to the conclusion that II
