TOURISTSLEAVE
FRENCH WITH
SMART PHRASES
Words Ending in "Ing" Have
Special Fascination for
the French

PARIS, Nov. IS. - William OF
Normandy's rather forceful conquest
of the British Isles gave thousands OF
Norman-French words to the English
tongue. In these latter days the
ever-more-nVmerous invasion Of Eng.
fish and American tourists has added
a heterogeneous collection of isoIat.
ed words and phrases to the vocabu-
larry of the smart Partisan.
Words ending in "ing" have a spe.
cial fascination for the Partisan who
wouldn't think of trying fer compre
hensive English vocabulary, but who
likes to interlard his sentences with
words of bizarre sound. A dinner
jacket is always a smoking, one
travels in a sleeping" or sleeping
car, and one even goes for natter

during the endless conferences of the

usage.
Sporting terms, such as "knock-
out" "uppercut," and the deuce

almost national circulation, despite
the efforts of number of eminent
sportsmen to persuade their followers
to use the pure French.

AS a matter of economy, the gas mile
age now should be at least Is miles to
a gallon, because 1t Is difficult to get
full mileage out of car several years
old when the pistons, rings and cylin.
ders are worn.
1t is contended by students of the
changing conditions in motordom that
wheel base need no longer be an i'm
portant consideration. There was a
time when comfort was determined by
the length of the car, but nowadays
some of the extremely short cars have
excellent riding qualities, and the ten
dency is to shorten the wheel base
still further. The man who is buying
a car for the future naturally looks
forward to an era of smooth roads and
smaller parking spaces.
Many are still inquiring how balloon
tires fit into the march of motor de-
velopment. The belief has been ex-
pressed that IL balloon tires had not
been thought of until 1880 they might
never have been adopted. With per-
fection of shock-absorbing devices and
the development of smooth roads, the
time is not far distant when high
pressure tire will give a fairly COM
Portable ride. The newer thought is
that the balloon tire saves wear and
tear on the car, in addition to provid-
ing passenger comfort.
Balloon Tires Feature.
Balloon tires also will be a safety
feature If demonstration of their use
on the Indianapolis speedway may be
taken as a criterion. Ten cars in the
recent race on that track were
equipped with full balloon tires. The
three cars to finish the 500-mile run
first averaged a little better than 100
miles an hour each. The drivers said
they never experienced such comfort
in driving, doubtless due to freedom
from road vibration and shock. Con
sidering that the average speed was
the highest in the history of that
track, 1t is believed the tires in reduc-
ing road shock aided the engines in
establishing new records.
Regarding the seating capacity of a
car that will be acceptable in 1927, the
problem is greatly simplitied by past
experience. In looking over the used
car market for the past 10 years it
will be found that every unpopular
model was a novelty body. There has
always been a good market for road
sters. coupes. touring cars and sedans.
Freak models, faddish arrangements
of the seats and cramped bodies have
always entailed the greatest loss.
The idea that there will soon be no
market for an open car Is not to be
taken too seriously. With the proper
ton of closed cars increasing, the up
to-date open car will have defiDite
market among persons who can use
this type of car TO advantage. There
may be an actual shortage of open
roadsters within the next few years If
closed-car production increases at the
Evening star., 1925-07-19

present rate. The argument that no
one will want an open car when he
can buy a closed car for the same
price is now regarded as a popular
myth. A first-class closed car. manu-
facturers have demonstrated, cannot
be built at the price of an open car.
More money invariably is asked for
the "de luxe closed cars.
It is possible thus to look ahead in
buying a car so that 1t will still be a
good buy a few years hence. Ap-
parently, one of the chief features of
making the selection is TO distinguish
between actual trends and fads. If
the .motorist buys for the latter, he is
almost certain to find himself with an
old-fas shioned car at time when his
machine shotild be representing about
the average level of development.

thinking ahead in car buying has
become the prime consideration for
motorists who are not addicted to the
model habit.
'NVill my car be up to date in 1927
or 1922" asks the average man who
feels obligated to keep his 1925 pur-
chase at least that long.
1t does not appear to be an easy
question to answer, because the
trends in motordom are by no means
clearly marked. So far IS engineer
ing design is concerned there is still
considerable difference of opinion over
some of the basic points. Four-cylln-
der engines have not been displaced
by the skies, nor have the straight
eights displaced the high-priced skies
and the V eights.
Speed Prime Demand.
The nnotorist who thinks ahead has
safer guides than a mere considera-
ton of the number of cylinders or
their arrangement. The question IN
his mind should be whether the
engine of the car he buys now VIII
be able to transport his car, with
comfort, at the speeds that Will be
customary for road travel within the
next few years. The predictions are
that speed, more than pulling power,
motors within a short time.
Here the motorist turns to road
building for an answer to his query.
He finds that concrete roads are not
merely making higher speeds rela-
lively safe but that they are also
eliminating steep grades and treach-
erous turns. A car bought today,
many predict, will be source of
embarra ssment to its owner If 1t can
ac,f1t nj
in 1927.
That is only two years hence. II
the rnotorist is looking ahead. he can.
not afford to buy a car just because 1t
walks up a hill in high gear or blows
off his hat when the demonstrator
steps on the gas for a brief interval
The buyer wants a motor that Will
sustain speed, and sustain it without
vibration.
In this connection manufacturers
point out that there are many skies
and several fours which will meet
these requirements, in addition to. the
improved V eightS and the straight
eights. If a car will run at 40 miles
an hour today and do it mile after
mile without causing the occupants OF
the car discomfort and without taxing
the engine, it is rea asona BILE to expect
that it will deliver the necessary 35
miles an hour running speed, which
may be the accepted fashion several
years from now.
Gas Mileage Factor.
The type of engine, however. has
much TO do with fuel economy, and
the thoughtful motorist knows that

PROPER CONTACT QUERY
Ideal Adjustment for Car Breaker
Points Suggested.

Are the breaker points of your car
making proper contact? Breaker
points take on the following appear
ances: When they are clean they are
smooth and bright; when they are
dirty they are blackened; when they
are making contact they are frosty in
appearance. Only the points of actual
contact, however, will be frosty. The
ideal adjustment is when the points
come In contact over their entire sur.
face. But in practice two clean,
frosty spots are evidence of reason
ably good running order.

AUTO HOOD NEEDS CARE.
Should Be Polished Twice as often
as Rest of Car.

Hoods turn dull quicker than any
other part Of the car because the HOOD
is always hotter than any other sec
ton of the body. over this the car
owner can have very little control.
But contributing reason for the dull
ing of hoods is in reality an oversight
on the part of the owner. Hoods need
more protection than any other sec.
ton of the body, and thus should be
polished twice 10 every polishing Of
the car. Evidently some car owners
work on this assumption, but they
spoil the idea by making the mistake
of polishing the hood when it is hot.

QUIET ENGINE NOT BEST.
Excessive Tightening of TappsEs
May Cause Trouble.

a very quiet engine is not always
desirable particularly for hill climb
ing or high speed. When tappets are
adjusted so closely as 10 cause very
little noise the valves, in being
slammed down by the force of the
burning gas in the cylinders, convey
this force directly to the cam shaft
throwing 1t out Of line so that serious
and annoying knocks soon develop.

Three popular bayside resorts and
some of Maryland's choicest touring
rendezvous are included in the route
outlined today by The Stars motor
tours guide. The entire circuit, as in
dicated on the accompanying map, is
207.4 miles, but the trip may be short
ened at the option of the motorist.
Much of this route Is new to many
Washington motorists, and it enconl-
passes some Of the most interesting
landmarks in the neighboring State,
in addition to several of her better
seaside Fairgrounds.
Bay Shore, on the Chesapeake, 55
miles from Washington by way Of
Hyattsville, Laurel and Baltimore, is
becoming rapidly a favortte haunt OF
Washingtonians as well as of Raltt-
moreans. 1t offers salt water bathing,
in addition to boating and fishing, and
may be reached easily in a two-hour
drive from the National Capital.
Ferry Available Here.
From Bay Shore there are ferry ac-
commodations across the bay to Rock
Hall. The ferry leaves the resort at
M, 2:3O pm. and $50 pm. on Sun
days, and also at 1890 pm. on week
days. To reach the ferry at Bay
Shore terminal the motorist travels
about IL miles from City Hall. Balt-

On the eastern side of the bay the
motorfst will find many places of in
terest Rochester Beach, a few miles
from Rock Hall, is we'll known as a
salt water resort. Vacationists msy
find accommodations here for extend
ed visits.
Chestertown, approximately 70 miles
| from Washington by this route, is one
Of Marylands oldest settlements.
Here is Washington College, which
dates back to 1882. 1t was at this in
stitution of learning that the first
President received the degree of doc
| tor of laws in 1889. He contributed TO
I its endowment and was a member of

comes TO Betterton, another of Mary
