40 francs, or about $3.50 for a trip
like that and apologized for the cost.
Oh my!
To me the interesting part of the
trip was the Forest or "Foret," as the
French call it. Miles and miles of
deep timber, glades and forest fast
nesses All undisturbed and primitive
except for the winding and beautiful
drives. Most of the forest is unten-
anted except for timber cutters and
charcoal burners. There are few pic
nickers 1t must be remembered that
here, as in England, there is little
motor car development. Some Of the
trees are hundreds of years old. Laid
all through are the vehicle paths, the
broad motor roads bisecting the for

beauty abound all over Europe. So on

1 stopped at an old pre-medieval
church, or "eglise," as they say in
French.
The spire shot heavenward, sur
mounting a slate and stone roof hun
dreds of years old but perfectly in
tact. Above the pigeons darted and
wheeled Along the roof line were the
inevitable gargoyles put there to
brighten away the evil spirits from the
house of God.
This stately edifce, medieval in APP
pearance, dates back to the 18th or
18th century. Inside mass was in pro-
gress. The large building was filled
with WOrshipperS, all in their Sunday

From far ahead at the lectern you
could hear the hum of the celebrant.
The organ spealed. The white-robed
boy choir took up the chant, their
pure voices soaring to the dome. An
impressive experience. I stole out as

interesting and beautiful things. Out

said to be the finest of the kind in the
world. One lake near the palace is
alive with large German carp and the
visitors feed them. 1t is interesting
to watch the big carp jump out of the
water and go after the crumbs. Ad-
jacent are the grounds, gardens, foun-
tains and terraces laid out by the

effect

AUTOMOBILES NEED
 MUCH IMPROVING
Motor Vehicles Far From Per,
 .iect--But Industry Is Still Young

For the benefit of the motorists who think their cars are the best ever, here's list of what Is still to be accomplished in order to bring out the perfect auto. It present. problems over which engineers are still ponderinG.
 T. Variable, smooth-running transmission.
 9. Noiseless, vibrationless motor.
 3, Perfect braking,
 4. Ehortless control.
 5. Efficient fuel consumption.
 C. Comfort against shock and vibrations.
 7. More efficient headlights.
 8. Durable finish.
 9, Longer life.
 This list. which is only partial, need not discourage the motorist. His car today really is a wonder, considering the quarter century of it's advancement and the rapid strides in it's improvement.
 Partly Developed
 All that the list points out Is there is a great deal more room for i'm provcmcnt. that the motor car in- dustry Is still young,
 Most of the factors mentioned have already been developed to some extent. The matter of durable finish. for instance. But none has reached the stage at which nothing more can be done, where perfection can be claimed for it.
 The last year brought out q few significant points fin this connection. In the case of balloon tires, for in stance it was found that they are not exactly what would prove prac- tical. Tire manufacturers have found it necessary to increase the number of plies from four 10 six, to with stand wear. They are trying to cor rect the shitnmying effect of bal looms. And rolling, or Iumbling, from such tires gives them another mystery to solve.
 Doped Fuels
 Seeking a method of eliminating dotonation in engines, especially where much carbon is present, has brought out a series of treated fuels and "dopes" which have still to be found beneficial.
 Tests are being conducted with these dopes at the L. S. Bureau of Standards. Up to the present, engi- nccrs have found that all doped fuels do is what the simple practice of rctarding the spark could also ac- cOmplish.
 The annual used car problem is as perpleXing as ever.g But more and more dealers and manufacturers sec a way out by not trading in old cars for new. If this plan is generally adOptcd the result would be longer use of the same auto by the same driver.
 To encourage this, engineers are trying to make the auto Usabie for q longer period of time, without let ting it appear old or dccrepit.

SMOOTH ENGINE IN
 HUPNOBILE EIGHT
Modern Engineering Principles Make Improvements Possible

The super Smoothncss rapidly be- ing associated with tho performance of the new Hupmobilo eight is the outgrowth Of engineering principles begun in the Hupmohio four, and which, as proved in hundreds of lab- oratory and road tests with that car. have brought its power development and performance close to the en- ginaering ideal
 Hupp engineers for some years have been convinced that the smoothest and most efficient engine performance could be obtained by combination of a heavy, carefully balanced crdnkshalt and light re- ciprocating parts. Their contribu- ton to automobile engineering along these lines have hccn closely watch- ed by the entire industry. For Srv- eral years their findings have been accepted by other companies as mo- table contributions to the entire in- dustry.
 About a year ago these engineers designed q permanent skeleton mould light castiron piston weighing about two-thirds the weight of the common cast iron typc-which com bined the superior properties of iron with the light weight advantages of aluminium. Introduced into inc Hupmobile Four shortly after, the result, in combination with thc heavy counterbalanccd crankshaft and duralumin connecting rods, was found 10 he n smoothncss of four cylinder engine performance never before known.
 One of the most important of the score or more of revolutionary fca- lures built into the Hupmohile Eight is this identical principle in piston casting. Total weight of the entire piston assembly is hut %2 ounces, ir- cluding the duralumin connecting rods-another achievement in which Hupp engineers pioneered.
 This combination Of extremely light pistons and connecting rods also gives extreme strength, reduces wear on connecting rod bearings a'-
