WOMAN AUTO OWNERS
GROWING IN NUMBERS
This Year Will Show Greatest
Feminine Enrolment Yet, Says
A. A. A, Official.

That the ranks Of the army Of wom
en- who own automobiles are being
constantly augmented is nowhere bet
ter reflected than in the fact that the
rosters of motor clubs throughout the
Nation are showing a proportionately
larger number of women's names than
ever before, according to Ernest n
Smith, general manager of the Ameri
can Automobile Association.
Analysis of the 1926 membership en-
rollment of the S68 clubs affiliated
with the A. A. A. reveals that all pre-
yious records in this respect Were
eclipsed, Mr.. Smith points out. AT the
current rate of increase, however
1927 will be the biggest year in motor
club history in the enrolment OF wom'
an members, he says.
1.-THE American woman is carrying
into her motoring experience the ef
ficiency she manifests In homemak
ing" says Mr.. Smith. This is one OF
the outstanding facts of an analysis OF
the Nationwide membership gains
made by A. A. A. clubs last year. The
study of these figures reveals clearly
that the woman motorist is especially
impressed with the advantages OF
motor club service.
Naturally, the most appealing form
of club service to the woman car
owner is that which assures her
prompt and efficient emergency
mechanical aid wherever she may be
The woman driver is not fitted, as
man fs, to change tires, thaw out q
frozen carburetor or walk a mile or
more to the nearest filling station
when her car runs out of gasoline
Lacking the ability to do these things
as easily az a man might, she depends
upon the motor club, and although
there have been relatively few calls
for emergency service from women y
is clear that she wants to know such
aid is available if the need arises. AS
a result, she safeguards her motoring
experience by club membership.

Automobile Buying
Reveals Trend to
Higher Priced Car

Price reductions on automobiles
in 1925 were compensated for part.
ly by the trend toward the pur-
chase of more expensive cars by
thousands of buyers. The average
price paid during the year was,
approximately $3.50, an increase of.
about $40 per car over the previous
year.
That the trend toward the pur.
chase OF more expensive automo-
biles has increased during the last
three years is evidenced by the
fact that the average expenditure
has increased yearly since 1923 de-
spite the fact that there were sharp
price reductions by almost every
carmaker.

BETTER MECHANICS,
AIM OF MANUFACTURERS
Specialists Declared to Turn Out
Better Work in Quicker
Time.

Many of the motor car makers who
are turning out better automobiles
than ever before have undertaken TO
produce better mechanics TO service
their products. The trend Is one that
really means much to the motorist.
When an owner puts his car into
the shop for service labor always is
ono of the large items in the expense.
The mechanic who is a specialist on
any given car-care feature will turn
out not only better job. but a much
quicker one, and the time item In the
bill thus will be less costly.
The service schools being conducted
quite generally among the leaders of
the industry are the fruition of pro-
gram that has been followed somewhat

Traffic violations are punished in
a new way in a California city. In
stead of falling the automobile
driver, the car itself is locked up.
Longer sentences are the rule.
Where the motorist got but a few
days, the car is held for 80.

for the plan is that the city saves

1t stands to reason that under such
conditions more money will be available
for home financing.
But how about home building?
what are the prospects? Has home
building reached the saturation point?
Let us analyze the conditions. First
what proportion of homes is owned by
the families who live in them?
Shortly after the close of the World
war United States Government re-
ports said 40 per cent were home
owners. 1t is claimed that the average
since that time has been slightly
raised. Analysts. basing their claims
on incomplete research, say 46 to 48
per cent now own their homes.
Germany. France and other Euro
pean countries claim as high as 80 per
cent home ownership. If this is any
where near the facts. it at least gives
us something to work on. Therefore,
II we only have 48 per cent home
ownership in the United States, not
Withstanding it's tremendous resources
or raw materials, land and finance, as
against 30 per cent in European coun-
tries, we are just 80 per cent below
normal, and normally is nothing near
the saturation point.

RUTH'S TRAINER

Looks for Great Season on Part

New York, April 9. tA> --- The
Yankee Stadium frequently has been
labelled THE House That Ruth
Built" Now the catch phrase
artists have tagged Artie McGovern
New York gymnasium instructor and
Who Rebuilt Ruth"
McGovern has been chiefly re-
sponsible for keeping the Babes
famous waist-line down to some
thing like normal proportions in
the past two years. Ruth's great
comeback Of 1926 came after an in
tensiye training and dieting cam
paign under McGovern's direction
and when the big slugger wanted
to get in shape again early this
year. while dahbing in motion pic
lures at Hollywood, he sent trans
continental call for Artie's assist
ance.
There is some authority, there
fore, to McGovern's contention that
Colonel Jake" Rupert, owner of
the Yankees, hasn't taken such 4
tremendous gamble in signing Ruth
20 three-year contract calling for
the grand total of 100000.
Ruth is good for at least five
more years OF top-notch baseball
because he has convinced himself
that he must keep in condition and.
at the same time. discovered how
to do it," McGovern declared.
TN fact. the success that has
come from following just ordinary.
common-sens systems Of exercise
and diet have converted Ruth from
a free and easy liver almost TO fl
physical culture fiend.
up until year or two ago,
Ruth followed no set system of
living. He INDUCED and thought
he could get away with it until lie
was brought up with n Jolt against
the cold fact that his baseball days
were numbered unless he turned
over u new leaf. How well he did
that was illustrated by his wonder
full record last year, in the pennant
race and worlds series. I look for
him to have another big season IN
the coming campaign
Last spring Ruth handed Nc
Govern a check for $1,000 after
completing his conditioning course.

,ial fee, he paid McGOvern's ex-
penses for the trip from New York
to Hollywood and return.
