ficiently pronounced to turn the
balance for the entire nation.
In this connection reports Of the
Ford Motor Company show de-
mand for touring cars which Is
unusual for this season Of the year
and which calls for a production
of 100000 of these cars during
October.
The touring car always has been
the most popular in the Ford line.
The exceptional demand at the
present time, however, may be ac-
counted for by the new features
of comfort and convenience which
have been incorporated in the i'm
proved types.
Addition Of a door at the drivers
left, storm curtains which afford
complete protection and open with
the doors, greater leg room and
a more attractive appearance in
the general lines Of the car have
all contributed to bringing in
creased popularity to the five

RECORD
Total of 100000 Cars Ex-
pected to Leave Factories
During October

Less than sixty days after dis
continuing its former style pass
enger. cars the Ford Motor Com
pany has brought the improved
types into normal production in all
its assembly plants throughout the
United States.
Peak production was reached Fri
day when 8,165 cars and trucks
went off the assembly lines Of
domestic branches.
Fridays record, however. Is ex-
pected to be short lived, for pro-
duction will reach $500 daily be-
fore the end of the month, making
possible a total output /of APP
proximately 100000 for October, the
greatest in Ford history.
This information was contained
in a statement issued at the COM
pany's general offices. which de-
tails the remarkable Industrial &C.
compIishment effected in producing
the improved Ford cars and which
at the same time definitely dispels
all fictitious rumors regarding Ford
production circulated since the new
cars were announced.
The increase in production to-
gether with constantly expanding
activities has brought employment
in the Ford organization in the
United States to new high figure.
At present the number Of those en-

BIC YEAR AHEAD,
SAYS BUICK
CHIEF
Big Demand for Cars Due to
Universal Prosperity,
|. He Says

FLINT, Mich, Oct. 28.-The pre-
diction that 1925 would be a banner
year for industry, business and agri-
culture is now being fulfilled, in
the opinion of Harry II. Bassett,
president of the Buick Motor Co.,
who recently announced capacity
production through the winter
months.
Mr.. Bassett attributes the univer-
sal demand for Bucks in normally
slack times to prosperity all over
the country as well as to the ex-
cellence Of the cars themselves.
Sales reports recently received from
branches all over the world have
shown so many orders that the an
nual December shutdown for in
ventory has been postponed. Peak
production will have to be main
tainede through the winter.
Several days ago the distributors
were asked to carefully survey
their territories and estimate the
number of cars needed to take care
Of the demand. The response
amazed factory executives.
1T looks as though the country
has attained the stable condition Of
prosperity so generally predicted
last year" said Mr.. Bassett. Never
before have we enjoyed so greN
a response from the public to a
new model. attribute it to the
excellence of the cars themselves,
with due credit to general business
conditions which make 1t possible
for people to buy quality automo-
hiles"

Peerless Motor Sales
Show Big Gains
For Month

Indicative of the enviable posi-
ton some of the automobile cam
paigns are in, is the latest re-
port from the Peerless Motor
Car Company of Cleveland.
September sales were just 80
per cent greater than sales for
the same month of last year.
And, the outlook for October
sales indicates an even greater
increase for, this month.
Charles A. Tucker, sales
manager of Peerless, says that
the future has never looked
brighter for Peerless. New dis
tributors have been added in
many parts of the country and
two of Flotida's leading auto
mobile dealers are closing with
Peerless at the present time.
This all indicates not only
splendid outlook for Peerless
but the high degree of salts
faction the present models are
giving the motoring public.

from the present reality of lubricat.
ing the chassis at a mile a minute.)
The use of rubber for all shackles,
and possible substitution of rubber
composition for all steel springs.
A double electrical system, for
ignition, starter and lighting. AL
ways a spare tail light, headlight,
starter motor, ignition system in
readiness should the other fail.
Four-wheel drive as the logical
partner of four-wheel brakes.
Variable engine, six cylinder or
eight, depending upon whether de-
mand of the moment is for power
and speed or economy.
Apparently the motorist hasn't
everything as yet, though he ad-
mits the modern car meets many OF
his demands in highly satisfactory
way. He is forever looking ahead,
and it seems that the better the
latest models are the more new
things he can think of.
Motor progress is stimulating pro-
gress. That appears to be the one
thing all motorists want.
The Washington times., 1925-10-28

In the hope of making a little
Roadway with the question some
motor students who are trying to
peer into the muture Of the auto
mobile ask; What can the motorlst
want in addition to what he al
! ready has?" From this angle the
answer is found more easily.
Ten motorists selected at random
were asked what possible comfort.
convenience or improvement each
could wish for. The replies were
as varied as they were startling.
One motorist expressed wish for
stainless upholstery, the Duco idea
transferred to the interior of the
closed car. Another said he looked
forward to the day when all en-
-gines would be at the rear instead
: of at the front so that in any car
he drove he would not be bothered
by engine noises and heat. A third
said the business OF stopping every
hundred miles to buy gas was al
ready antedeluvian, that it would not
be long before fuel would be brought
to concentrated form sufficient to
run the average car through the
season.
Ideas Are Definite
InGS0 IUTO0 ISpAICS oAOAAS
that many motorists already haye
very definite ideas as to what they
want in future models. They may
appear to be satisfied with the many
splendid improvements that have
been developed for their special
benefit but all the while they are
hungering for more.
Among other hopes entertained
by the motorist, perhaps one OF the
most interesting is the matter of
the wider car The rear seat OF
the automobile has long been in
disfavor, not only because one OBJ
tains a very false conception Of
road conditions from the rear seat,
but also because It isn't chuminy
enough for the average family.
Cars with only the front seat. how
ever. have not grown in favor for
general use for the simple reason
that they accommodate about TWO
persons with comfort, and most
ears are called upon to acconImo-
date about three persons.
Without increasing the overall
width of present-day automobiles it
The Washington times., 1925-10-28

/ is believed that an attractive single
scatter could be developed by eli!ni-
mating the running boards. As the
doors opened suitable steps, or fold
ing running boards, would drop. A
simpler arrangement, however, is
looked for in the future in the de-
sign of the roadster or coupe. The
center Of the seat would be set
back about a foot so that when
three people 'were sitting in The
car the one in the middle you'd
not be cramped.
The general opinion seems to Re
that the ideal seating arrangement
never has been Appropriated in the
designing Of cars and that the mo-
turist is justified in looking for
ward to a time when a chummy
car can be roomy. When the auto
matte transmission becomes gen
orally adopted and the gear shift
lever is eliminated the genuine
rhree-passenger car is expected to
fill the present gap.
Want Automatic Jack
A constant demand OF the vision
airy notorist is for a self.jacking
car. Apparently it is realized that
punctures or at least tire changes,
will be necessary from time to time.
This being anticipated the demand
for a car that will raise itself off
the ground automatically grows
stronger day by day. There is an
other reason for such a lacking
convenience. With four-wheel brakes
a perfect adjustment can be had
only when all four wheels arc
raised off the ground at the same
time.
Motorists appear to have their
imaginations stimulated by the
progress made annually by the motor
car engineers and manufacturers.
The year 1925 brought the engine
rectifier, which makes over the
dirty and diluted oil Of the engine
in such way that six quarts of
oil, while the car is used about the
city in cold weather driving, will
be useful for approximately 1900
miles. In summer, crankcase drain
ing is necessary only at intervals
of $500 miles, but fresh oil must
be- added in accordance for the oil
consumption of the engine, which is

greater in hot weather when the
motorist drives faster and far.
Since the introduction of this Inn
provement a new demand has de-
veloped. The motorist now wants
a self feeding oil system.
This IS on the order of self-feed-
ing furnaces. The idea behind /. is
one of efficiency and common sense,
not laz ness. 1t isn't that the
progressive motorist is reluctant to
raise the hood and soil his hands
pouring in a little more fabrication,
but merely the uneasiness Of re-
aliZing that the engine may be
needing additions of oil at a time
when he doesn't happen to be thtnk-
ing about it. The self-feedtng oil
system idea is a direct argument
against the present method Of buy
ing a quart of oil and of adding it
either when the engine already has
enough oil or after it has suffered
because 1t didn't have enough.
Many Other Demands
Some of the demands made by
motorists picked at random are as
follows:
Front wheels that will cut like
wagon wheels, to facilitate parking
and turning in narrow streets.
Instructions for care and adjust
ment marked on each and every
part of unit of the car.
Non-shatterable glass for wind
shields and closed cars.
Handler means Of tire initiation.
Greater use of compressed air.
Cars to be started and stopped by
compressed air supply, and tires in
fIated while the car is in motion.

Mule-Disease Plays Havoc
 with Livestock In Sweden
By Associated Press)


 STOCKHOLM, Feb. 26.-Nearly the whole of Sweden has been swept by an epidemic of mule-disease and in an effort to stamp it out thousands of animals have been killed. The first cases of the disease were not iced in Scani in the south, and i'm mediately every precaution was talk en to prevent it's spread.
 Farms affected were isolated, mili- tary forces were mobilized and form ed a ring around the farms. All birds in the vicinity were shot and the grim method of slaughtering all the ivestock-cattle, swine, poultry, etc. was exercised. This proved of no avail and the disease then spread to the north of the country, where the best bred herds suffered greatly. During November and December the government has paid out over two million crowns as compensation.

LONDON, Feb. 26-Announcement that spirit voices from the other world soon would be broadcast by radio was made at recent meeting of the London Spiritualist Alliance, limited, members of which had as Sembled to discuss the question, "Is Lord Northcliffe dead?" Sir Edward Marshall Hall, K C., a noted barris- ter, presided
 News that efforts were being made to hold seances by means of the wireless was made known to the members by Miss Louise Owen, pri- vate secretary to the late Lord North cliffe, who reported that before long we are going to be able to broadcast the spirit of voices by ra- dio." Previous to this announce ment Miss Owen said she had re cent message from Lord Northsliffe for the women attending the meet ing and this was that the women everywhere should organize for the purpose of bringing about abolition of war and 'let it be known that they would not bring boys into the would for the purpose of being mas sacred

 The principal speaker of the even ing was Hannen Swaffer, one of the best known spiritualists in London and formerly in Lord Northcliffe's saying that but recently he had been in communication with his former employer for two hours. In one message MT. Swaffer quot ed Lord Northcliffe as saying: Tn stead of holding up Bolshevism, tickle en-" A later message, accord ing to Mr. Swaffer, said: "Too many advertisements, and leaders too long," this, it was taken, to having had reference to some of the former Northcliffe publications.

He champions the endeavors of the League of Nations. He says that we cannot stamp out Socialism,: it is too old and too strong. Northcliffe said, T made a mistake about Lloyd George which I regret. I let him down too suddenly"
 Further, MT. SWaffer quoted the late publisher as saying: "I am out to stop war before anything. 1 intend to stop it. I intend to bring about equality for all men, and when ev- cry man and every woman is spir- itualist We shall not have to view the struggle between capital and la bOr'."
 A letter from Earl Haig, read to the alliance members, follows: Il am sorry I am unable to attend the meeting. I had very sincere re- gard for Lord Northcliffe and I hope that your efforts to convince the world of the survival of his person ality after death will meet with sue cess"
 Another meeting to discuss Lord Northcliffe is to be held in the near future.

Dwarf's Wedding Brings l Mob and Ties Up Traffic
(By Associated Press)

"
 WEYMOUTH, Eng, Feb. 25.- There was such mob of uninvited guests at the recent wedding here of Miss Eliza Victoria Walbridge and Alfred Goodwin, dwarfs, and such a buzz of whispers among the throng that the noise became extremely em- barrassing to the clergyman perform ing the ceremony. He had to call for silence five times and threaten ed to order everyone from the edi- flee excepting those of the bridal par ty.
 Miss Walbridge is but three feet two inches in height while the bride groom stood but three feet seven inches in his wedding slippers. The heads of the couple did not come up to the altar rails in Holy Trinity Church and nearly every one of the spectators stood on the seats with the hopes of getting glimpse of the little man and his bride.
 Hundreds fought their way toward the altar, while the crowd outside held up traffic for an hour or so and extra police had to be called to reme- dy the situation. The bride wore white satin and the bridegroom was dressed in frock coat and carried top hat. They were followed by a page and two bridesmaids, none of whom were dwarfs.
