lack of fiexibility on high gear and
lack of hill-climbing power, and the
Use of narrow tread. The tread Of
the Whippet is standard 5615 inches.
s.The Whippet has demonstrated
. speed ability of from 3 miles an
hour to better than so miles an
hour on thigh gear" a range never
before approached by any Amerl-
can-built light car offered as stock
production.
"In hill climbing tests conducted
under engineering observation on
q well known testing grade IN
Pennsylvania 1t has shown q climb
ing ability 20 per cent in excess OF
other light cars.
''The second gear ratio in the
Whippet is such as to give consid-
erably greater speed in this gear
than can be obtained from other
light cars travelling in second.
Fuel economy has been demon
strated in such tests as 1900

400 miles a day. with fuel con-
sumption Of better than 30 miles TO

made in previous periods. How
ever, this does not change the
general picture. It is true that
a big producer has more cars
for which to supply parts but
they. go to the junk heap sooner
than the better made machine.
There are fewer cars to be kept
supplied with parts In the case Of
the higher grade products, but there
are greater profits per part and be-
caus owners keep their machines
longer more requirements are the
result.
It now is freely rumored that
the decision Of several companies
to abandon the quantity field for
a filtration with custom business
is a result of the growing con-
viction that there is not room Tor
so many In the production game
and that, even for those companies
that are succeeding in it, profits
are not as alluring as had been
anticipated.
In the first half of this year one
aggressive organization produced
"a, 900 cars at a profit OF $145 per
unit. At the same time one OF
its liveliest competitors made a unir
profit Of only $104 on a basis of
76,773. The former organization
made more money because ii hrs
more reputation behind II and al
ways has produced a higher grade
car. It's stock always has been
exceptionally high on the exchange.
The company may be making A
serious mistake by following the
lure Of quantity production.
General Motors statement for
the first half Of this year shows
an increase In the net profit per
car over the same period in 1925
despite a nearly doubled production
but 1t is difficult to draw any
conclusions in this case since figures
include profits on all grades OF
cars in addition to this organiza-
tion's other products. The sub
salaries of General Motors make
vital parts for the majority OF
cars, including complete bodies.
The aim Of the industry appears
to have been one Of emulating the
leading producer. But this may
prove to be mirage, The public
viii hesitate to buy a cheap version
of a car 1t once held in higher
esteem.
That may be one explanation for
the trend toward better cars at
higher prices.

1heSe, ana many more, are lHS
questions uppermost in the minds
Of manufacturers, automobile deal
ers, statisticians, investors and
car owners who appreciate the
relationship which always exists
between car ownership and the
industry's prosperity. The auto
mobile business is excellent for
most of the aggressive manufac-
turers and satisfactory enough for
the dealers and distributors who
have operated on less vigorous
methods. But many are wonder

the business is right and are

:. One of the fallacies of the auto
mobile business, some economists
argue, lies in cutting prices during
periods OF prosperity. When buy
ers have the greatest amount OF
money to spend for cars, that is
the time the price tags should be
highest, they say. Manufacturers,
however. cannot resist the tempta-
ton to use price reductions as a
means Of grabbing the other fell

practices which have been followed

in the light car class they are ex-

"In the body, compactness has

This means economy in space and
weight without restriction in room.
The actual inside dimensions OF this
Whippet are larger in the seven

In the first half Of 1925 this or

the corresponding period this year
It turned a profit of approximately
double this figure on an output of

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Feb. 17-It seems
that efforts to make the coal strike
a political issue have failed. Indica-
tions are that the miners and operat-
ors will settle their own differences
without advice of state and Federal
authorities. 1t is claimed that once
the miners return to work the mat
ter will be forgotten by politicians
but not by the. coal consuming pub
lie who must eventually pay for the
strike in the form of high prices fol
the commodity. The old-time issues
of capital and labor" which would
have been forced to the attention of
the voting public, in the forthcoming
primaries probably will never find its
place in the headlines, if the an
thracite matter is quickly settled.

idea is to defeat pro-court Senators
for denomination and reelection. In
cidentally they hope to pledge pros
pective candidates for the Senate to a
platform which will keep this coun-
try out of further participation in
the League of Nations. Those who
are politically ambitious to run for
the. Senate this year will find them
selves besieged with demands of or
ganized groups.
While the debate on the tax bill is
raging in the Senate few people con-
slider the task that confronts the five
Senators and the five members of the
House who must work out the final
bill. These ten conferees must in
few days reconcile the differences
between the two legislative bodies
consider the wishes of the Executive
Department; draft a measure which
will meet with the approval of their
colleagues and the voters back home.
Considering the political features
of the tax bill, it is easy to imagine
the problems which fall to the lot
of these ten men. There are num-
Der of trading features in the House
bill and the Senate measure. These
were put in there for the express pur-
pose of compromise in conference
Representatives of the Treasury De-
partment and the congressional tax

Congressman in hese executive ses-
sions.
1t appears doubtful that acompro-
mise tax bill can be worked out be-
fore March Is. The Treasury De-
partment, which has charge of the
administration of the law, is keeping
tab on each days development in or
der to expedite the distribution of
tax income blanks. According to an
opinion of the Treasury Department
this week, it will b. necessary to dis
tribute blanks for the use of tax
payers with provisions allowing
changes after the. law becomes effec-
tive. It requires considerable time
to distribute these blanks by district
revenue officers and considerable
longer for the taxpayer to work out
his schedule.
The House and Senate measures
have been changed. so much that it
