white velvet fashioned on the lines
of medieval days with moderately full
skirt, long tight sleeves falling over
the hands, and a slightly low-cut
neck. The gown has no trimming. Her
tulle veil edged with dainty point

completely yelled her court train of
white velvet. She carried a prayer
book of white.
Mrs. Richard n. Dickey was her
sisters only attendant and was in a
dainty frock of apricot chiffon made
with very full and short skirt, the
chiffon falling in uneven lengths at
the bottom, and a semi-tlght fitting
bodice. She wore a hat of brown
tulle trimmed with yellow flowers. Mr..

gold lace and her hat of champagne
color straw was trimmed with satin
flowers in the same shade. Mrs. Suy-
dam wore a gown of black lace with
a hat to match. Mrs. Montague was
also in black lace and a small black
hat.
Later in the day Mr.. and Mrs. Suy-
dam left for a wedding trip, the
latter travelling in plum color crepe
trimmed with narrow gold braid and
a small plum color hat trimmed to
match. They will spend their honey

American motor car manufacturers at
present are virtually without competi-
tiOp in the South American field, and
the popular cars in Buenos Aires and
Sac Paulo bear names familiar to
every American.
Aside from breaking down the bar
riers of national provincialism and
fostering a more genuine spirit of in
ternational comfy, this gigantic road
building program undoubtedly will
pave the way for a broader market
for the American automobile. Already
American motor vehicle manufactur
ers have established plants in Latin
America, thus opening new opportuni-
ties for industrial enterprise in those
countries, giving employment to thou
sands of natives and enriching the
wealth of the nations as a whole.
This broader market for the Ameri-
can automobile is of vital significance
to the domestic car owner. 1t means
greater mass production of automo-
biles and automobile parts and a con-
sequent lowering of prices. 1t points

BY FREDERICK O. RUSSELL.

1t wasn't the season of the year
when batteries go dead, yet his cur
rent supply apparently had vanished
overnight.
Thanks to his ability to employ a
little logic in the solving of car
troubles he knew the trouble was not
with the self-starter, otherwise it
would not make even a few feeble at
tempts Ito crank over the engine.
And, too, there were the dim lights
and the subdued horn to prove some
thing had happened to the battery
between 9 pm. and am. But he
was just inexperienced enough to con-
fine his investigation to the battery
itself.
To make a long story short and
profitable, be it said that not until
mechanical assistance arrived did this
car owner happen to notice the
pointer Of the ammeter registered
discharge even when the ignition and
lighting switches were "off." Like
thousands of car owners, he did not
know quite enough about the mechan-
ism of his machine to be able to
know what happens when it happens.
Discharged Back.
In this particular instance he did
not know that if the contact points
of the generator cut-out, or relay,
happen to stick the battery will dis
| charge back into the generator when
the car is at rest, nor that this con-
dition can always be detected by the
discharged position of the ammeter
pointer when the switches are off. -
Such things happen to the best of
motorists, but only the unprepared
are obliged to founder about for an
explanation or suffer through the
misunderstanding of amateur re-
| pairers. Any automobilist who knows
what a loss it would be to him to
have the engine run shy of oil and
not know what the trouble was can
| readily appreciate what he is losing
when he encounters many of the
| mysterious capers of the average
car. It's bad enough to have a motor
start skipping without being totally
| in the dark as to why 1t assumes
such behavior.
One of the best ways to be prepared
for what might happen is to be OBJ
serving enough to see troubles in the
| climbs under his car to look about,
and one of these inspection trips he
| found the positive cable from the
! battery to the starter switch was dan
gerously close to the front universal
| joint. There was nothing, however,
| to indicate any immediate trouble, Sc
| he fell to cleaning the springs and
| forgot about the cable.

along the highway when without any

had he discovered this than the chas-
sis let off some fireworks.
Almost any other driver would have
grabbed for the fire extinguisher. 1t
was unusual, puzzltng- It was one of
those things you never read about in
the instruction book; one of those
car troubles you never hear discussed
at the club. Yet there it was, and
what was it?
1t took the owner just about three
minutes to rip up the front floor
boards and pull that battery cable
away from the universal joint. The
fireworks ceased. While It was neces-
sary to make a temporary connection
between the ends of the broken cable,
there was no mystery to what might
otherwise have been battling situa-
ton. 1t seems the cover of the uni
versal joint had come partly loose so
that 1t slapped against the cable, rad
ually wearing off the rubber insula-
tion until the bare wire was within a
half inch of the metal joint itself. A
rough road did the rest.
1t is a good plan to speculate now
and again as to what might happen to
the car. Even If it never happens it's
like insurance: a loss would not be all
loss. The repair shops are filled with
cars that could have been repaired by
their owners had little imagination
been displayed as a sort of prologue.
Did you ever stop to wonder what
kind of a sound a certain part Of the
car would make If it ran shy of lubri-
cant? Or how some other part would
act If it broke2 Or what would hap
pen if something else got too much
oil?
Trouble Prevented.
Not very long ago the writer hap
pened to be inspecting the breaker
points of his car, when it occurred to
him that the oilless operation of the
breaker cam might possibly be
source of trouble in hot weather and
at high engine speed. A few days later
there was d mysterious squeak in the
engine-one of those things that
| seem to have no answer. But there
was that moment of speculation TO
| fall back upon. He simply removed
the cover Of the distributor and mere
| ly touched the breaker cam with an
oily rag. 1t stopped the squeak.
Once in a while little worrying
will prove to be a life saver. In worry
ing the owner paints a mental picture
of things going wrong, and he uncon-
sciously seeks the remedy. Naturally,
when something does go wrong he is
more nearly prepared for It.

Linking the Americas by highways
of friendship is the latest role the
American automobile has been called
upon to play.
After viewing the development of
motor vehicle transportation and the
better roads movement i'll this coun-
try in the last quarter century and
their effect on industrial progress
and national solidarity. the Latin
American republics are laying the
groundwork for far-reaChing pro-
gram of national and international
road construction, designed to cement
the ties within their own national
groups and foster greater interna-
tional comfy on the two continents.
Sponsored by the Argentine gov
ernment, the better roads movement
In Latin America will receive its
initial impetus when delegates from
all the countries in the Pan-American
Union gather at Buenos Aires early
In October for the first pan-Ameri-
can conference on highways. The
United States will be represented by
am official delegation of seven eX-
perts on highway construction and
maintenance, appointed by President
Coolidge, while each Latin American
republic will have from two to five
delegates present.
Move Is Far-Reaching.
The program calls for the discus
sion of such topics as highway pro-
motion, highway education, the So
cial influence of highway develop
ment, highway finance, the influence
of motor transportation and the con-
struction, maintenance and admins
tration of highways. While this
movement had its inception among
the Latin American countries, it is
probable that the delegates will look
chiefly to the United States repre-
sentation for advice and direction in
carrying out their program. This con-
ference is the beginning of what is
expected to be a genuine better roads
movement in all the Latin American
countries.
Road construction as conducted by
the United States Government and
the individual States is unprecedented
in the history of the world. Nowhere
else is there such a system OF CO.
ordinated improved highways, the
total mileage of which would span
the earth 20 times. This system, for
the most part, is of comparatively
recent development, having had its
greatest growth since the populariza-
ton of the automobile and motor
vehicle transportation.
From the point of view of motor
vehicle registrations, the automobile
is peculiarly an American institution.

the jerky action of the engine was

of 20 to 25 miles an hour.

has made necessary the development
of good roads.
With the gradual growth of the
number of motor vehicles in use in
Central and South America, the Latin
American republics are confronted
with the problem of improving and
building highways. In the larger cen
ters, particularly around Buenos Aires,
Rio de Janeiro and Sac Pauio, roads
comparable to those in this country
already have been built, but intercity
or international motor travel, such as
Is known in North America, is yet in
its initial stages.
The program of the first pan-Ameri-
can conference on highways antici-
pates the establishment of through
highways connecting the principal
cities of South America. 1t aims fur
ther to map out a system of improved
highways, virtually connecting the
United States by motor travel, through
Mexico, Central America and across
the Panama Canal, with South Amer
lea. The first link in this bi-conti-
mental highway already has been pro-
jected in a road from Laredo to Mex
leo City, Mexico. Thus, the pan
American highway conference aims
truly to draw all the nations in the
Pan-American Union closer together
by motor travel.
heretofore business men and tour
lists from the United States visiting
South America have had little occa-
sion either to take automobiles with
them or to tour extensively in the
Latin American countries. Except in
the immediate vicinities of the larger
cities, roads have not been developed
to point to encourage touring, such
as is practiced in this country. AS a
result of the road-building program
expected to be projected at the con-
ference, however, motor touring in
South America will be placed on
basis comparable to that in the United
States.
United States Autos Favored.
AS a natural consequence of the
widespread construction of roads the
automobile as "a modern means of
transportation will gain in popularity
in these countries. Latest figures
gathered by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce show that in point
Of motor vehicle registrations Argen-
tina, with 10000, leads the other
Latin American countries, having one
car to approximately every 73 inhabit-
ants. Brazil has Al, $50 cars, Mexico
$4,000, Uruguay 1863, Chile 10000,
Colombia 5000, and the Central
American countries average less than
l 900 cars each. Most of these coun-
tries, however, are increasing their
motor vehicle registrations at the rate
of 10 TO so per cert each year.
With the United States producing
about 80 per cent of the worlds sup
ply of automobiles and controlling a
corresponding quantity of the avail
able motor vehicle export market,
South American countries in the near
future may be expected to assume
leading positions among the United
States motor car foreign markets.
