the Saunders Drive-It-Yo Yourself Sys-
tenn, was in indianapolis last week
and spent a few hours with Jack
Helmerich, manager of the Indian
apolis branch and w. +. Heater,
manager of the Indiana district.
Saunders rented his first car in
1915. 1t was his personal Ford.
Since that time the Saunders Sys-
tenn has grown until today it has
branches in eighty-six principal cities
of the United States. The local
branch is at 81 N. Pennsylvania st.
After being connected with the To-
cal branch for ten years, A. L. Rice
goes to Richmond, Ind, as branch
sales manager Of the international
Harvester Company of America.
Rice assumed his duties April II.

proving that the automobile is Ego

Another mark, that we say, as

WOMEN SWAY
AUTO INDUSTRY
Cause Changes in CoIors
and Furnishings.

In the automotive industry is
examples Of the influence of women
on industry. This influence has
causedi many changes in automobile
styles, colors and furnishings, giving
women the opportunity they desire
for individual expression in their mo-
tor cars.
One of the greatest changes is in
the increased use of colors. Black
and dark blue were the prevailing
colors in the past, but now there are
such colors as Agassiz red, Himalaya
gray, Lenglen green, Boone brown,
Partridge cream, Desert sand and
Czarina blue. Many other tones are
available, which are given pic
turesque names representing sport
events, history, natures tints and
other varied subjects.
Interior furnishings are becoming
equally as rich as they are in the
home. Cars are now upholstered in
velours, mohairs. corduroys and
whipcords. Different grains of wood
Circassian walnut being quite popu
lar, are used for woodwork. Other
appointments in the car include sill
YER or leather smoking outfits with
automatic lighters, vanity cases
vases and such comforts. Even the
design of the radiator cap is@becom
ing something in the nature of elias
steal statuary. In many cars the
driving seat is made adjustable tc
provide maximum of comfort for the
lady driver. The general exterior
beauty Of the present-day motor car
with its sweeping lines also is part
| ly due to woman's influence.

NEW TYPE AUTO
ENGINE COMING
Motor Now Used in Europe
to Be Developed Here.

The two-cycle single-sleeve valve
engine for the automobile may soon
be developed in the United States.
1t is already a reality in Europe,
where three passenger car compan-
les and two motorcycle manufacture
ers use this type of motor.
Two years ago the Continental Mo-
tors Company purchased the Argyll
patents, the original single.sleeve
valve two-cy lie engine patents based
on inventions of two Scottish en-
gineers, Burt and McCollum. This
purchase was one Of the first signs
of the development of this type en-
gine in the United States and since
then engineers have been at work
on the problem.
Longer life, less power to drive,
silence, less carbon deposit and
greater fuel efficiency are some of
the advantages claimed for this type
engine. Test have shown that a
small motor developing thirty horse
power at 5000 revolutions a minute
in an average small car, will give
thirty miles to a gallon of gasoline.

Research Engineers Study
Life of Every Unit of
a Machine.

No part Of the automobile is con-
/ sidered perfect enough by engineer
ing experts to absolve it from i'm
provement. While the engine and
! fuel system are receiving most at
/ tention, every part of the car has
| its problems.
The transmission, set up TO be
| tested, is attached by means of
shaft to a dynamometer. a motor
which runs the transmission at q
definite speed, and is kept running
| until it breaks down. That is called
a life test. On the results engineers
base their design for a better me-
chanism. Rear axles and gears are
subjected to similar life tests.
Vibration Tests
A stock siX-cyllnder engine is run
day and night at a speed of 1900
revolutions a minute. The test is
to learn what happens to the valves
when the engine runs at high speed.
The amount of power or efficiency
lost through the transmission is
tested by two thermometers, one
driving the transmission and meas.
uring the input while the other Is
driven by it and measures the out
put.
One of the most delicate tests is
that for sources of vibration and
noises in\the car. A special radio
amplifier is used for this, with four
stages of radio frequency after the
microphone picks up the faintest
sound to be recorded.
Cold weather conditions are
simulated in a room that can be
brought down to as low as 20 degrees
below zero. In there a car can be
attached by belt or chain to
dynamometer outside of the room
and run for the various weather
tests. Or an engine is placed in the
room, attached to the dynamometer
and tested for freezing, crankcase
oil dilution, or any Of other cold
weather problem.
Overlook Nothing
An electroplating. laboratory is
now being devoted to the study of
chromium plating Of bright
surfaces, as radiator shells, door
handles, etc. Chromium, one of the
hardest metals, is rust proof and
durable.
Brakes are tried out in a special
garage. Engine fans and fan belts
are also subjects of experiments. An
engine and radiator are placed be-
fore q special wind tunnel, to dis
cover the radiato and fan efficiency
in cooling the motor. Every part of
the car is constantly being put to
unusually hard tests in the search
for better ideas and solutions of the
problem Of producing better motor
cars.

POULTRY CONFERENCE
IN TACOMA AUGUST 26

The second annual economic con
ference on poultry husbandry will
be held at the Winthrop Hotel,
Tacoma, on August 26, according
to AN announcement made by the
State College of Washington. This
conference is being called at the
request of poultrymen of the state.
Resolutions adopted by the econ
omic conference last August and
by the Washington Poultrymen' S
Association in June asked for this
meeting.
Eugene Merritt and r. S. John
son, statisticians from the United
States Department of Agriculture,
are expected to be present to pre-
sent data and charts on the poul-
try industry in the entire United
States. With this as a background
local producers can consider their
problems more intelligently.
The State College of Washing
ton has brought up-to-date the in
formation on the poultry industry
in Washington for the considera-
ton of poultrymen. The College
will present the facts, but make no
recommendations. Those attend
ing will be asked to take whatever
action they think best on the basis
Of these facts and their own eX-
perlence.
Some of the problems which
were considered last year and or
which committees of poultrymen
have been working since are cost
of eggs and baby chicks, feeding
and feeds, diseases, breeding, and
marketing eggs and baby chicks.
Between 200 and 300 poultry
men are expected to attend this
meeting, which will open at 10 a.
m. on August 26. The conference
will be extended to Saturday Aug.
ust II if more time is needed.
Vashon island poultrymen are
urged to attend this meeting,
as the value of the conference rests
upon those who take part in the
discussions. This is one OF ser
les of conferences being arranged
by the State College of Washing
ton on various agricultural com
modities. Conferences have been
held on dairying, hay, forage
crops, poultry, and horticulture.
