third largest in Maryland. The num-
Der of men employed will be at
least 10000 against 1900 at present.
The expenditures proposed are ex-

in installing u additional units to
the tinplate mill now nearing COM

rebuilding the rail mill. During a
period of less than nine years the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation has ex-

rows Point approximately $4,000, 900.
When the present building program
is completed the investment of the
corporation in the Baltimore district
will be we'll in excess of 500, 600
and Baltimore will have practically a

Special nfsnatch 70 The Star

Special Dispatch 70 The star.
NEW YORK, January 19-The
chief worry of the automobile en-
Gineers and manufa cturers in 1925
will be how to make closed cars at tour
ing car prices. This will prove
poor stunt" year, according to gen
eral expectations. since engineering
experiments are being directed more
toward perfection of machinery TO
make cars Cheaplv than TO machinery
to make them run cheaply
One large producer has found il
possible by the use of huge metal
stamping machinery to punch" out
about half the metal paneling of a
closed body in one operation of the
presses. Heretofore several opera
tions We're required TO accomplish the
same result. Greater use is being
made OF steel for body construction.
and with the company referred to
the resulting reduction in labor and
material costs has amounted to nearly
90 per cent in making the closed
bodies.

Amazing Changes Noted.

Probably no business is undergoing
at present such marvellous changes as
the automobile body building indus
cry. Bodies in some cases which
formerly cost the automobile manu-
facturer $500 can now be produced
for about $3.50 and, in the opinion Of en-
gineers who have designed them.
they are stronger than the old-time
bodies and more attractive in appear
ance.
There seems feeling in the indus
try that perhaps too much Importance
has been placed on some of the
stunts of automobile construction.
Four-wheel brakes came and caused
considerable furore, but now are
mentioned less often in selling talks
and advertising copy. The majority
Of producers who make products
above the so-called Ford class either
furnish four-wheeI brakes as regular
or optional equipment. but purchasers
seem still somewhat divided as TO the
necessity for this type of wheel con-
troll,
Evening star., 1925-01-19
Views on Brakes Divided.


The Hudson Motor Company. one of
the fastest growing concerns, has not
adopted four-wheeI brakes, but in
spite of that fact Hudson sales have
jumped from less than $4,000 cars in
1922, when four wheel brakes first ap-
peared, to nearly 10000 cars in 1924.
The Hudson seems the exception
which proves the rule
Several concerns have attempted to
market four-wheel brake systems for
Ford cars, but as yet have made little
progress. The Ford Company has
taken no official notice of four-wheel
brakes either, but it appears safe to
say that the new brakes have come to
stay on cars selling in the $1,000 and
upward classes.
A good many trade authorities feel
that the volume of sales of balloon
tires for replacing high-pressure tires
depends to some extent on whether
they are brought down to or below
the price level of cords. Motorists
are divided on the necessity for ball
loon tires, but it is undeniably true
that once a driver has used balloons
he is seldom willing to go back to
the high-pressure tubes.
Gear Shift Experiments.
Automatic gear shift is an inno-
Walton, the late OF WnlCn appears TO
be hanging in the balance. The
Studebaker Corporation spent large
sums experimenting with this equip
ment and then gave it up, at least for
the present. On the other hand, the
Chandler Co. adopted this develop
ment, and those who have tried it as
sert Il is most satisfactory.
Altogether, however, the present
tendency in automobile engineering
is toward simplification all along the
line, with the big object of reducing
costs to such an extent that closed
cars can be sold at the same price as
the open models, and the problem of
producing better-looking bodies at
low costs is the first order of busi-
ness.
Closed Cars Cheaper.
The Packard Company set the pace
when it cut the price of its single
six closed cars from $500 to $500, ac-
cording to body type, and a number
of other companies have followed.
II appears that about this time next
year the prospective buyer of an open
car will have to place his order in
advance and wait his turn, so strong
