AUTO STYLES
co IN CYCLES
Open Cars Once Again Be-
come Luxury.

Styles travel in cycles, according
to Edward S. Jordan, president of
the Jordan Motor Car Company.
Ten years ago most of the motor
cars were of the open touring type.
Only the wealthy could afford to
own and drive enclosed models.
Then some of the volume man
ufacturers turned their attention to
the mass production of closed bodies
for the smaller low-priced cars. The
result was the quick adoption OF
enclosed cars by every one and the
gradual decline of the open body.
A few years ago open cars wouldn't
sell at all in this country, and were
only manufactured in limited guam
titles for the export field. Then a
startling thing happened which
turned the tide. The college boys
and girls began running around in
roadsters with the tops down. That
started something and the demand
for roadsters Immediately increased.
Now, because of the demand for
greater carrying capacity, the
youngsters want sport type touring
cars, and hundreds Of them are
seen on the streets and at the
country clubs. The closed car used
to be a luxury. Now it's the open
car.

Demands in motor cars have in
creased in proportion. Four-cylin-

the six-cylinder car and at present
the eight-cylinder car is finding
favor over the six. Our business in
eight-cylinder cars has increased

WOMAN'S HAND
. IN MOTOR SALES
No Longer Man Market,
Auburn Head Says.

The first market for the automo-
bile was the man of wealth; follow
ing came the man of moderate
wealth and with time payments the
flood gates opened and the field of
sales held no limitations, but al
ways the market was a man mar
ket.
But" says E. L. Cord, president
Auburn Automobile Company, "the
most remarkable and important
change that has ever confronted au-
tomotive marketing is not change
of wealth, but rather one of sex. AL
most overnight the business has be-
come dominated by feminine inf1u-
ence.
mo automotive product, however
excellent, can aspire to successful
heights, unless it makes its major
appeal to the woman buyer. This is
evidenced by the fact that many
concerns, whose product was good
piece of machinery, but failed to
sense the feminine appeal, have
passed out of the picture"

new LIGHT CAR
Whippet Output Reaches
Hiqh Mark First Year.

"The trend of the American light
automobile is distinctly toward the
type of construction embraced in
the Whipped" John N. WHY'S, presi-
dent of WHY'S Overland, declared
today.
Commenting on the general &C
ceptance of the Whippet, WHY'S
cites that it has established record
during the initial year of produc-
ton having reached 10000.
1.-THE Whippet was brought out
only after years of engineering de-
velopment," WHY'S said. When we
first presented the car to. the public
of America in June of last year, it
was considered by some as a radical
departure from the engineering
standard of that date.
"Since the introduction of the
Whippet, many other American
manufacturers have adopted the
Whippet style of construction.
Further than that, other American
automobile manufacturers are PLAN
ming to follow the principles of con-
struction, which embrace low center
of gravity design economy of opera
ton and four wheel brake equip
ment among its features.
more Titan ever before the traffic
situation today is major problem
in all cities. Our engineers recog-
nized this. The Whippet type car
meets the present day traffic de-
mands by means of its fast pick
up and getaway, its compactness,
which, permits easy parking, its
powerful and speedy engine, four
wheel brakes enabling the car to
travel faster without minimizing
safety of passengers and pedestrians,
and fuel and oil economy"

From all records available at the

Tail Light
BY sWEDE SWANSON

ScOotlng IN and out, from one lane
of busy traffic TO another, with
short spurts of speed and sudden
jamming of brakes, the good driver
wends his way bone.
He must be a good driver to do
this and come through without even
scratch on his tenders.
But he's highly lnconsiderate. 1t
has been shown, time and again,
that he gains little time, that the
man who keeps a steady pace and
runs along the same lane, meets up
with him at the next Stop-light,
without having the worry and fret
fitness the good" driver must sure
ly endure.
Regardless of this however, he
makes driving bad for others. 1t is
they who have to watch out for him.
They have to turn suddenly for fear
he would scrape against them, or
jam on their brakes If they happen
to pull up behind him.
It's a -wracking job for
others, results of the inconsiderate
hoggishness of what is supposed to
be good driving.
When a good driver gets that
good, he should be taught how to
drive all over again.
A nonstop run of 22,095 miles
through the mountains of the Paci-
fic coast was made by a Peerless Six
600 sedan. An average of more
than eighteen miles to the gallon OF
gasoline was obtained.
Well have steam-cooled engines
in our automobiles within a few
years, is the prediction of Prof. Ed
ward P. Culver of the Princeton
School of Engineering.
There will be no change in the
engine, except the transfer OF the
hose, that enters the present radi-
ator at the top, to the bottom, and
the conversion Of the radiator from
"a cooler into a steam condenser.
The greatest advantage of steam
cooling, says Professor Culver, is 1t
maintains the engine at constant
and most efficient running tempera-
ture, no matter what the temper
allure is outside.
Bumpers hereafter will bump
bumpers and not reach over or I'M
der one another when two cars
come together, if a recommended
ton is adopted for Nationwide
Standardization. 1t is to set all
bumpers so the center line is eight
eeen inches from the ground.
