that WOO Is on 50S.2 meters when 1t
Is much easier to recall the figure
$50. the kilocycle equivalent. In
making the Glass reassignments a
little more space was established by
using tenths of meters, but as most
fans will admit. IL is bit awkward
for ordinary use, when one can en-
ploy the kil.cycle equivalents in
even numbers. just as the radio en-
gineers have been urging. Probably
all wave lengths will continue to be
given out as they have been, paral-
telling the frequencies in kilocycles.
but it is now believed that the use
of the kilocycles of frequencies will
become more popular in designating
channels in the ether.
Lest we forget, the rough formula
for changing one to the other Is
kilocycles equals the velocity divided
by the wave length in meters

having been made prior to his
resignation as lieutenant COM
mander in the United states navy
and entry in the automobile buai'
ness.
In the trip just completed the
mond via Spotsyivaniaf Peters

Caroline line at Taylorsville to
oxford, Durham, Burlington and
Greensboro. TO Statesville via
Salisbury, Newton, Morganton to
Asheville via Black Mountain. The
new highway over Black Noun
tain, Mr.. Hoffman states, IL mar
velous and is entirely completed
with the exception OF a few pro-
tective fences near the top.
For those who prefer 1t, new
highway has just been opened UP.
BY 1t Asheville may be reached
from the Shenandoah Valley from
Roanoke to Wytheville and Marion,
Va, through johnson City, Tenn.
The speedometer reading for the
route followed was $50 miles each
way, which was made in two days
Of easy driving, due to the use OF
balloon tires and the excellent con-
dition OF the roads. Most OF the
route was hard surface and the rest
Of it was hard gravel, both through
Virginia and North Carolina, which
may be travelled In perfect safety
even in very wet weather.

Just as religion is being brought
more and more to a point OF
practical application, so also IRE
safety and courtesy in driving
being offered to the average per-
son, not merely az a moral obli-
CATION, but as an economy as
well.
A lot of drivers recently have
stopped to consider that he1ag
careless imposes a penalty even
though nothing serious comes OF
a wild drive or a needless risk,
Having considered, they are
amazed at the trouble and ex-
pense they incur to take chances.
In order to drive so fast
through the city as to fall into
q predimament when 1t Is re-
uuired to avoid smash-up, Tor
instance, it is necessary to force
the motor up to a high speed, to
hold the steering wheel tightly
to burn a lot more gas than Is
necessary, to watch for motor
cycle officers, to sound the horl,
to interrupt conversation with
messengers, to lose their conf
dence, to be jolted by rough paw
ing, to steer in and sout of slower
moving vehicles and so on. Alto
gether it is not q very easy
matter.
To be discourteous is often .
lot of hard work. In order to
crowd two other cars so that
their drivers could not get away
without considerable delay It was
necessary for one driver to spend
five minutes worming his car into
q narrow parking space. He
would laugh at the trouble he
was putting his comrade TO. but
It might have been a different
story had he appreciated the
folly Of working so hard to be
mean.
The high cost OF discouFtesy
should be reason enough to be
decent.

these factors upmost in mind. We

The new buying trend is a

Oakland Sales Director Re-
turns From II, 600
Mile Tour

During the second half Dt 1871
the sale Of motor cars win be fully
az great. If not somewhat greater,
in the farming territory than dur
ing the first six-month period.
w. r. Tracy, assistant director
Of 1.-THE Oakland Motor Car Com
pany, gives this as his opinion
after q two.month trip through the
great agricultural sections Of the
country, comprised Of the Midwest
and Western States. Mr.. Tracy
Travelled more than 1900 miles.
The tendency In the selling Of
the automobile Ia away from the
seasonal idea, he states, toward
an alI-year.round proposition. in
which sales for the last half Of
the year will, in all probability, be
as great as during the first six
month period.
DEMAND FOR CLOSED CAR.
1.-THE constantly growing public
demand for closed cars Is one of
the important factors in IevelinR
out the seasonal selling peaks .n
the retail end Of the motor car
industry" he continues. Another
important factor Ii the tremendous
growth Of good roads, enabling
persons in the rural and farm dis
tricts to use their cars throughout
the year.
The increase In good roads not
only permits the use OF the car
throughout the year, but is one OF
the important factors that will In
crease the sale OF motor cars. In,
variably, increased motor car reg.
tstratton follows the building Of
good roads In every section.
1.-THE policy which Oakland has
adopted for some time. OF continual
~ improving the car but not bring.
ing out yearly models, will un-
doubtedIy be followed by many
other companies. This method of
production enables o car purchaser
TO obtain the latest models at any
for steady sales during the entire
year.
2 CARS IN FAMILY.
1.-THE growing custom Of individ.
ual families to own two cars has
reached such proportions that we
can now look upon this class Of
purchasers as forming new mar
ket which will make for a steadily
growing increase In sales each
year.
"This is not going to be a boom
year. In fact, It looks to me az
though boom years" in the sense
we understand that term, will be
no more. In place Of them II looks
as though we will have steady pro-
duction and sales each year. grad
ually increasing in q steady curve
from year to year.
THE industry has reached the
point where the replacement mar
ket, plus the natural growth in
population, will give us pretty def
mite knowledge on which to predi.
cate yearly production.
Business conditions, as I OBJ.
served them, are good. The fruit
and agricultural industries on the
Pacific Coast, and in the Mid West
States are good. The lumber and
fishing industries Of the Northwest
have not been so good but are
now looking up. Though crops
and crop prices were good last fall,
q recent decline in the price of
wheat made the farmers in Kan.
eas, Nebraska and the wheat grow.

IT really do not believe there
will be a great deal Of spending by
the farmers until the harvesting

starting in July. Oats were al
