This and That.

Now that the 1924 innovations in
car designs have been launched and
started on their stormy way of pub
lie use, the bright minds of the auto
mobile world are turning to consid-
Grafton OF few radical changes in
the controls of cars. The gear shift
is said to be the next thing to go,
and there is much consideration of
the elimination of the accelerator so
that the right foot will be free to
rush to the foot brake in an emer-
gency. The accelerator is credited
with being an accessory to thousands 3
OF accidents, and pany believe it
could be dispensed with if a more
convenient hand throttle control were
devised

riders. The man who boards the

lar with conditions as the driver, and
ii is often true that he is more skill
ful at shifting gears than his pilot.
Motor bus riders do not place the
same confidence in their pilot as do
railroad passengers. 1t is hoped that
this will serve to prevent accidents
in this new form of transportation by
encouraging the drivers to endeavor
to measure UP TO passengers eXpecta-

Lost Motor Miles.

Engineers who make i speciality Of
fuel consumption on automobiles as
well as tire mileage recognize what
may be termed lost miles"-the num-
ber of miles car goes out of its way
in the course of a year. Take Your
own car and observe this process in
operation. Note how you steer around
every hole or unevenness in the road,
how you criss- from one side of
the street to the other when lodging
about in traffic and how you fire.
quently retrace your treads in backing
up into parking spaces or getting
out of streets you didn't intend to
turn into. All these processes serve
TO waste considerable mileage in the
course Of a years driving. 1t is one
of the things that can be eliminated
by better cars. better traffic regula-
tions and better driving. Cars with
good springs, shock absorbers and
easing riding tires do not have TO
dodge holes. Good traffic regulations

far developed are not financially at
tractire. lsoprene, the basis of rub
Der. can be got by diStilla tion of tur-
pentine. Lime and coal, converted
into calcium carbide through being
heated together in an electric fur
mace, needs only the addition of wa
ter to give acetylene. Isoprene can
be made from this familiar gas and
turned into rubber through heating,
acid. alkali or sodium. There are
various other methods of obtaining
rubber chemically. but they do not
seem TO be commercially attractive.
Apparently there will be no real
progress along this line until there is
necessity for synthetic rubber.
Then invention will flourish in it's
familiar way.

Used Tire Problem.

With the rapid development and
adoption of the balloon tire motorists
are already worrying tire dealers
with the problem of taking old tires
in trade. When a car owner consid-
ers a new feature such as this and
then contemplates the possibility of
being obliged to discard five good
cords. he very naturally hesitates to
place his order for balloons. The
tire dealers may have TO use their
heads bit One suggestion they
might offer to prospective balloon
tire buyers is that they endeavor to
sell their partly used cords as spares
to motorists who still prefer the con-
Ventional tire.

Compare Studeb1ker zUith Cars
at Twice Its Price

The chief difference between Studebaker
and many cars selling at twice its price is
this:
Studebaker produces distinguished quality
cars in quantity for those who want value,
as against producing cars of equal quality,
in small quantity, for those who want Eek
clusiveness." The quality is the same.
Studebaker is the worlds largest producer
of quality cars. Studebaker cars are manu-
factured efficiently and more economically
That's why prices are so low.
