Speaker Carr replied by thanking

sion, to consider the major bills that
failed Of passage before the gavels
fell yesterday, was made at the White
House several hours after adjourn
mcnt.
New Laws Beneficial
While legislation adopted had been
generally beneficial to the country,
in the presidents opinion, he feels
congress had ample opportunity to
put through other bills for which
there was urgent need, but that fail
ure of some of these does not develop
an emergency warranting a special
session.
The McFadden branch banking bill,
the radio control measure, and the
bill setting up the federal board Of
mediation in railroad labor disputes,
were listed on the presidents behalf
as being among the more notable
achievements of the 69th congress.
Several hundred bills and resolu-
tions, many essential to various gov
ernmental activities, died with con-
clusion of the session.
Chief among these was the $685.
100000 deficiency bill, which provided
funds for the army and navy, pen
sions, government loans to veterans
on bonus certificates, loans to farm
ers for seed purchases, and other
activities.
Other Ways May Be Found
While President Coolidge recog-
nizes that inconveniences will be
caused as result of failure of this
measure, he expects way will be
found for the government to carry on
with some of the activities affected.
AS to bonus loans, the president
feels failure of the S25,000,00O fund
provided by the bill for this purpose
will not work serious hardships. He
believes workable plan will develop
by which banks can make loans as
originally contemplated.
Failure of the two public buildings
bills would not entirely hold up build
ing operations, although the program
will be retarded, it was said at the
treasury. Under present appropria-
tions. 35 buildings can be plced un-
der contract during the next year.
Location of these probably will be
announced next week.

MARKED CHANGES
IN AUTO PREDICTED
Public Demand Expected to
Bring New Features in
Next Four Years.

Because the public is demanding
better automobiles and is looking for
greater improvements in its cars the
next four years will see a larger num-
ber of technical changes in motor cars
than has been achieved during the
past decade. in the opinion of +. +.
Moskovics. president of the Stutz
Motor Car Co This belief was ex
pressed at recent meeting of the
motive Engineers.
THE engineer will be a more i'm.
portant factor in the automotive in
dustry than ever BEFORE" Mr.. Mosko-
vics asserted, land the engineer who
can give the public what 1t wants Is
worth his weight in gold to any manu-
facturer or sales organization. Such
an engineer has the greatest future
that any technician has ever had in
any industry.
Eager for New Features.
"The industry at present is in
period of refining developments and,
the public is prepared to accept any
valuable addition to the modern car.
1t has come to know cars and the
manufactures is forced to look for me-
chanical devices that have a definite
purpose, definite value and mechani-
cal soundness. Any man with radi-
cally different automotive part can
secure a reception today in any
laboratory, engineering department or
general managers Office"
The engineering trend of the in
dustry never was broader than it is
today Mr.. Moskovics continued.
Seven different types of eight-cylinder
cars and as many different forms of
four.speed gears are now on the mar
ket, while on a trip to the Pacific
Coast he saw four different forms. of
rotary valve. The flexible fabric
body is so radically different from the
rigid type of body that it brings in
ar entirely new factor in automobiles.
BY saving 500 pounds in body weight
it makes possible the taking of nearly
500 pounds out of the chassis, which
will make the total weight of the car
approximately 1000 pounds less. This
will mean greater acceleration, hill
climbing ability and speed, and lower
fuel consumption and operating cost.
Another prediction made by the
speaker was that the era of gross
exaggeration in advertisements will
not last indefinitely. He referred to
Evening star., 1927-04-17

the ridicule heaped upon extravagant
claims for speed for various makes OF
cars by speakers at the annual dinner
of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce last January as signifi-
cant of a tendency toward a more
healthy condition in this regard. Sew.
eral companies that have made wild
claims in their advertising now are
making desperate efforts in their engi-
neering departments to catch up with
the advertising.
Very little sales opportunity in this
country at present is seen by Mr.. Mos
koyics for the European type of very
small, narrow tread, low-powered car
because of rough road conditions off
of the limited proportion of smooth.
hard surfaced highways. However. If
every mile of road in the United
States were hard surfaced and smooth,
he said. 1000 pounds at once could be
taken out of every new automobile

To carry out this experiment in

for years had operated in knock down
shacks along the river front, We're
forced to move, and the modern
thoroughfare in concrete took their

The result is a second Michigan

A number of business firms are

other projects, will provide a dupli-
cate drive.
While this double-dccking is con
fined to the river front, with the
lower street having a direct opening
to light and air, the engineers believe
that subway street is entirely prac-
tiCal. 1t is figured that the city
some day may have its street cars
and heavy truck traffic confined to
thoroughfares on through
boulevards, with only light. fast-mov-
ing traffic on the upper street.
The one mile of double decking is
proving SO helpful that St. Louis has
studied the possibilities of duplica-

Motor owners who look to the future
take occasion to oil the lug nuts slight

may be no immediate need for chang

the job so much as the absence of

Foreign Business of 1925 Reached

During 1926 total exports Of this type
Of equipment were valued at more
than $6.S60, 900.
The constant increase in the num-
her of motor vehicles throughout the
world is directly responsible for the
large export of service appliances.
The United States supplies large
share of this demand, not only in
countries where American-made cars
predominate, but also in many Eu-

OLD LAW RESTORED.
French Courts Rule Automobiles
Guilty Until Proven Innocent.

Automobilists involved in accidents
in France in the future are to be held
guilty until they have proved them
selves innocent. according to a recent
ruling of the French courts.
This ruling is based on an old law
which provides that the owner Of any
thing" is responsible for any dam
ages it causes, whether the thing"
is building, horse or child. The
law was in force long before the auto.
mobile existed.

established in Washington. A little
experience, however, soon teaches
them that Capital motorists upset
many of the potential advantages that
are given by ignorance or willful vio-
lations of the law.
Driving in the proper lane and Civ
ing clear and concise signals are inn
peratively necessary if traffic is to be
speeded up as it easily might be.
Learning the right-of-way rule and
abiding by it is another equally i'm
portant step. Both are individual
problems. When every driver an
