Auto Trauel Malces
 America Thinking
 Nation, Says Edison

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-Next te the World War, the automobile has done more to make America nation of thinkers than any other invention or agency, Thom as A. Edison says in an interview published by The Socony Stand ard, an organ of the Standard Oil Company of New York.
 "The automobile" Mir. Edison said, has made 1t easier, quicker and cheaper to go to places, but its great value is that it has in spired millions to go. It has awakened hundreds of thousands from sluggishness, set their brains to work and revealed to them how meaningless their lives were becoming"
 The restlessness of a pioneer people, Mir. Edison believes, Ia being restored by the motor car "Restlessness is discomfort" be asserts, "and discontent is the first necessity of progress. II the worlds unprecedented speed serves to stir our brains, it is worth while"

The new Ford car also intro. duces new type of four-wheel brakes. They are of the me chanical. shoe-expanding type, and are self-centering. The brake pedal and the hand brake each operates all four brakes. It is stated that this is the most re- liable and simplest type of four wheel brake, and also the easiest to adjust, all adjustments being made from the outside without removing any parts.

Tho unusually large cranhshaf,. which is both satisfactorily and eynamloary bal anced, weighs 23 pounds. Th;s balancing, combined with tho l lightness of aluminium alloy pis- tons, further combine to reduce vibration and increase riding and driving comfort and safety, it ir said.
 In addition to freedom from vibration, it is announced that the car is unusually quiet, great deal of attention having besn paid to this feature by the Ford engineers. In the engine, the timing gears are made of bakeliz. ed fabric, which is much quieter than metal. The cams on the , camshaft have been so designed as to prevent valve clicking.
