out new models only. when it is
felt that the changes are of such
radical nature or so numerous as
to warrant designation of the car
by a new model number or letter.
For instance, Willys-Overland pro.
ducts for the past six years have
been we'll standardized. In 1919
we first brought out the Overland
d WHY'S knight four cylinder
models which have, served as the
basis Of our productions ever since.
Naturally, over a. period of six
years there are bound to be new
developments and refin m n t 8.
These have been included in our
product. Body lines have been
altered to meet newer styles. I'm.
provements in motor and chassis
construction have taken place.
Demand for balloon tires swept
through the industry and this meant
redesigning OF the chassis TO take
care of this equipment.
Fundamentally the Same.
But fundamentally there has been
little change. The wheel base,
spring suspension and general de-
sign Of the two cars is much the
same.
WiIlys-Overland's experience is
analogous TO that of the majority
Of established automobile builders.
Take a 1910 model OF any standard
make Compare It with a 1911
model of the same make. Then
compare the models of each sue
ceeding year until 1915. Compare
1916 cars with 1919 and 1920 and
then compare the models of 1920
with 1925. Scarcely without ex-
ceptiOn you will note greater
changes in appearance and mo,
chanical specifications in each year
from 1910 to 1915 than you note
in the periods of 1916 to 1919 and
from 1920 to 1925. 1920 model
Overland or WHY'S Knight is by
no means as out Of date in APP
pearance today as 1910 model was
in 1911.
This trend is becoming more and
more definite and it's continuance

The asphalt adherents maintain
that lubricating oils from the asphalt
tic base are superior because of the
difference in the distillation prac'
tice of their manufacturer.
The very nature of asphalt crude
oil precludes the making of lubri
eating oil from it by anything but
the simple distillation, or the "ovcr-
head" process which is claimed in
advertising to impart such superior
quality. This class of crude voIa-
tilted readily under heat, and will

MORE SIGNS ON NATIONAL ROADS

Of the designation of main high ways there is no end, indicating that they are highly regarded by auto mobile interests as stimulus of long distance automobile travelling. The latest idea is to have all main interstate highways marked as United States highways" The markers are to indicate that the roads are of national importance and good ones to travel upon in "seeing America first" What is of paramount importance to touring autoists is that such highways will be marked with vari-co1orcd signs to indicate where caution is necessary.
 Connecticut's main roads are as well provided with numerous signs, | but the idea of the automobile high ways associations to bring about such a system on a national scale is a good one. Some states have their share of good roads-althougt none of them have a sufficient num- ber-but at the same time some oi the states give the impression signs are & nuisance.

COMMUNICATED

 Editor New Britain Herald:
 I have heard with interest your editorial entitled Protect Trolley Patrons by Cooperating appearing in your issue of the 18th instant. note that this article says that one of our motormen gave the reason for not taking the number and reporting an automobilist who failed to stop before passing a standing trolley car. that he had done so in one in- stance and was called to court and lost half days pay. If this incident occurred, it should not have, as 1t has never been our policy to treat our employees unfairly. AS matter of fact, the agreement with our em- pIoyees covering working conditions has contained the following clause since 1921:
 Employees will be paid for time while attending court or inquests concerning matters reported while on ! duty unless expense is paid by the | other parties in interest.
 "If a man Is prevented in the above instance from obtaining his meals at his usual place, the com pany will provide him with proper meals"
 This arrangement was in effect several years prior to incorporating same in our printed working condi- tions.
 At the request of the State Motor Vehicle Department We have beer cooperating with them in reporting such reckless operation for the last nine years.
 Knowing your spirit of fairness, am writing you the above so tha you may be possessed of the fact and take such action as you consider desirable to correct the false position we have been placed in by you ' editorial.
