court after promising Senator>Bever-

pealing to Senator Beveridge to help
support the position" Adams said.

Engines Are SiIencrd.

Engineers have been forced =" pay
more attention to quiet engine opera
ton at higher speeds. because Of the
feminine influence. In the earlier
DAYS speed was something for the
daredevil and he had to have engine
noise to keep mp his courage when The
throttle was wide open. For the av
erage driver speed was not provided
nor demanded. and the woman who
took a back seat was Just as well sat
isfied if the engine did Nihrate. II
was assurance OF Il safer ride.
But how different the situation is
row that women have taken the
wheel and made il plain that they
want to travel at higher speeds. In a
great many instances they fave found
that higher speed is not necessarily
dangerous. provided il is INDUCED III
! intelligcntlN. This means thar the
( woman OF today Is willing t" play The.
! passenger now ana again. While the
! men of the family drive 1T IL miles an
hour or over. Having experienced
speed she is less afraid of il. And il
/ Is also true that since teaching his
wife how to drive many u man has
4 been educated TO faster travel.
The demand for speed with comfort
and safety has resulted ia II long
string of engineering developments.

1t has amazed the engineers them
selves to note how far they have gone
to meet the newer demands of femi-
nine influence. There WAS Il time
when no one cared if the spring
shackles We're greasy. II the driver
got grease on his clothes il was con
sidered as a part Of car ownership
Today. however. with women driving
SO large percentage of cars. such
conditions are not tolerated. Shack
les are automatically fabricated 50
that they are never oyerlubriCated
and just recently several cars have
made their appearance with grease
less rubber shackleS.
Few question the assertion that If
the percentage of woman drivers had
not been so large balloon steering
would not have developed so quickly.
When balloon tires first came into
style many men passed up popular
makes because their wives and daush-
terS could not handle the steering
with comfort The result was that
every manufacturer made a special
effort TO develop new degree OF
steering ease In addition. number
of cars this year are Offering steering
gears that do what WAS not even
thought of when cord tires We're pop
uIar. The new steering gears provide
for Increased leverage when the wheel
Is being tugSed at as In parking.
Even when the American woman

design of cars. Invariably She is the
one who Judges whether the car Is
riding properly. Accordingly the en-
gineerS have not been content with
euuipping cars with spring control de-
vices of the most efficient type. but,
in one recent case. have designed the
spring suspension to match the spr!n"
