BIZ WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Is the open car doomed to the limbo
OF forgotten things like the hand
crank and the acetylene headlight?
This question is thought to be par
ticularly important at this time owing
TO number OF changes which are
putting open and closed cars in de-
cidedly different relation to each
other
Production reports have shown, and
are continuing to show, a larger and
larger percentage of closed jobs.
There is an undeniable trend toward
the closed csr-or possibly a landslide
yet there are thousands OF open cars
sold every day TO people who would
have nothing else.
Compared to TheatricaIs.
There are those who compare the
present high favor OF the closed car
to a condition that existed in thea
tricals ten years ago. At that time.
the moving picture made such an i'm
preston upon the public that the le-
ultimate or spoken stage was in dan
ger of being cast into Oblivion. There
was talk of 81 movies and the 1egiti-
mate houses were dark much too fire.
-.
lie discovered that movie was a
movie and that spoken play was a
spoken play. There was a market for
both. A good movie today can com
mand good prices, respect and patron
age. And so can good spoken play.
But despite this anology, it would
seem that too many motorists take it
for granted that they are riding in
their last open car, and that the
closed job will soon be the accepted
sort of second choice proposition for
those who cannot afford the best. How
Illogical this attitude is may be
judged from the fact that with guam
fity production methods in body
building, the difference between open
and closed cars is no longer sufficient
to keep any motorist from having
what he wants, particularly with the
aid of the handy finance companies.
should Hear Both sides.
Too many motorists forget that the
people with the best proposition are
those who own and operate two cars,
one closed and one open. If any one
wants to learn the facts, these are
the people to go to for clear under
standing of the situation. These are
the people who are not prejudiced.
They will GO to see good movie as
quickly as they will go to see a good
spoken play.
The matter of price no longer de-
termines whether one should buy an
open or a closed car. There was a
time when the closed car not only cost
more to buy, but more to operate.
Today there are many makes offering
closed cars equally satisfactory as
open cars costing more money, and
these closed Jobs may be actually more
economical.
There was a time when the closed
car was considered undesirable I'M

There have been numerous other
improvements in closed cars, with the
result that IL a man objected to them
in 1920, he has to look for new
set OF objections today. But it is
important TO note that there seems
to be a general disregard for the
fact that while the closed car has
been undergoing various improve
ments. the open car has not been
standing still.
At any gathering of motorists one
will hear the open car discussed as
though it were still just where il
was ten years ago. whereas the open
car is frequently discussed on a basis
of what il may be few years hence
One hears the closed car talked of
as the coming car, the inference be-
ing that any objections it now offers
will be promptly overcome. But some
car would like to remind the average
motorist that there may be some
radical improvements in open cars
within the same period of time.
Open Car Improved.
The catalogue of one manufacturer
shows that the open car has already
been considerably improved and that
b 49,, -
has been largely overcome. These
curtains not only give a clear view
OF the roadside, but are designed TO
be put away fiat behind the back of
the rear seat.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that an enterprising manufacturer
will shortly offer type of curtain
that Will come up out of the doors
and sides by means of cranks in the
manner of window raisers as used in
closed cars.
The popularity of the closed car has
been directly in line with a swing of
the automobile toward the extreme
of utility. People have been demand
ing practical use from their automo
btles and trying to pretend that a car
should not be used for pleasure or
recreation. Naturally, they have de-
manded with this every comfort. in
Guiding protection from the weather,
even protection from fresh air
But there is a decided swing back
to more use of automobiles for recre-
alton. People are moving out into
the suburbs. new roads are being
developed and the coming season will
find more people than ever using
automobiles for recreation.
The question is, therefore, will they
seek recreation in closed or open
cars? Are these people going to be
content with touring the open road
with their ozone coming in through
few open windows, or will they
want to be out in this ozone as they
drive? VIII these people seek the
luxury of turning a window handle

ENGINE MISSES, BUT RUNS
Bump May Break Wire Loose at
Coil Terminal.

Strange performance of the engine
characterized by complete missing on
every cylinder, followed by perfect
running. is explained by some break
in the circuit from the high tension
terminal of the coil to that of the dis
tributor. The wire is especially liable
to come loose at the coil terminal.
Being rather stiff, however, the wire
would probably stay in position near
enough to the terminal to allow the
spark to jump it under normal road
conditions and without noticeable diff
ference in the running of the engine.

end Of the wire away and cause the
engine to miss on all four. six or
