Turning from the fascinating at
mosphere OF the race track to the
more practical occupation of expert
mental engineer, Earl Cooper, a
leading figure in automobile racing
for nearly a quarter of a century,
is now a. member of the experiment
tai engineering staff at the factory
of the Marmon Motor Car Company.
Like many of his fellow drivers Of
years gone by, Cooper is utilizing
the experience and knowledge gained
on the race courses of two continents
in the development of passenger
automobiles.
Cooper'S new association with
NIarmon recalls his remarkable rec
ord as an automobile race driver
and also brings back to memory
the series of outstanding victories
that were won by Marmon automo-
bileS in 1900, 1910 and 1911 and
which were eliminated in the tri-
umph of the Marmon Wasp driven
by Ray Harroun in the first 500
mile race on the indianapolis speed
way, May 30, 1911.
Cooper's ability as an engineer
was demonstrated at the annual In
dianapolis race last Memorial day.
when he entered three front wheel
drive and one conventional drive
automobiles of his own design in
the contest. These cars we're pi-
loted by such famous drivers as
Bonnie Hill, Pete Kreis, Bob Nc
Donough and Jules Ellingboe.
CooperS association with Marmon
and his work in the development Of
Marmon straight-eight automobiles
are direct evidence of the strong in
fluence of automobile racing on the
design and construction of passen-
ger cars. 1t is interesting to note
that, beginning in 1924, every car
that finished the famous Indian
apolis race was of the straight-eight
design.
More than twenty years ago
Cooper began his career on the race
track and jumped into nationwide

WOMAN GIVEN
FULL CREDIT IN
AUTO COMFORT
Demand Forces Makers to
Bow to Feminine Taste
in Cars.

One Of the distinct gains in auto
mobile 1928 design, in the opinion of
engineering critics, is the remark
able convenience and ease of driv-
ing. This is by no means confined
to the higher priced cars, according
to r. V. Law, Hudson-Essex dis
tributor, but has had, in fact, its
most striking advance in the cars of
moderate size and cost.
"You can thank the woman mo-
torist for that" said Law. Men are
driving in better comfort and with
greater ease today because women
have insisted on higher standards
Of detailed finish in the cars.
"Take such an item as an anti
theft lock. To engineers that was
simply a mechanical device, to be
considered wholly on mechanical
merits. But the woman driver called
for a lock which could be reached
without bending and reaching and
which would not soil gloves. The
result is a key-lock on the dash
which insurance companies regard
as more ecient and which certainly
is far more convenient.
"One of the most popular moves
which Essex ever made with women
was to install the starter on the
dash. It is undeniably SO much more
convenient. We now have cars, too,
with the motometer on the dash,
where it can be seen day or night;
with oil and gasoline gauges con-
stantly visible; with an ammeter
showing the operation Of the cleo
trical system. Thus, the motorist
can see at a glance how his car is
working in every respect.
"Such detail as the door han
dies has not been overlooked. These
are now Of graceful as we'll as use
full design and carry pattern that
runs through other items of the fin
ish. Doors may be locked from the
inside by moving the handle for
ward an inch or SO. The window
regulators operate with hardly any
effort at all, and are designed to
match the door handles"

DODGE COLOR
VARIETY LARGE
Twenty Combinations Avail
able Now, Says Dealer.

Recent additions to the large and
varied assortment of color combina-
lions in which Dodge Brothers senior
line is available have increased the
number to twenty, according to
statement received from the factory
by T. A. Bell, president of the T. A.
Bell Company, local dealer.
almost any day visitors in the
1855 foot long assembly building,
which is devoted exclusively to the
production of the Dodge Senior line
and which is said to be the longest
automobile factory in the world, will
find cars in twenty different color
combinations on the assembly lines"
Mr.. Bell says.
This opportunity of selecting a
color scheme expressive of the indi-
viduality of the purchaser in con-
trast with accepting the 'sameneSs'
of appearance which in the past has
characterized nearly all but custom
built cars makes a strong appeal
to the buyer.
THE wide variety of colors in which
the Senior line is now offered affords
the discriminating buyer this OPP
portunity without the delay of wait
ing for a special job to come through
production and the added expense
Women whose selections are gener-
ally influenced by beauty of line
and color appeal can almost inyari-
ably find exactly what they want in
the large variety of Senior offerings
something different"

STAR OUTPUT GROWS
Production Is Increased to

T. S. Johnston, assistant to w. C.

Of production to 500 cars daily.
AS fast as material can be obtained
production will be stepped up

is greater production than any plant
in the country making cars at as
low a price as the new Star.
1t is anticipated that the first of
March also will mark the COM

$50 more cars to the daily output.

Tail Lights
BY SWEDE SWANSON

TINE dread of New York chauf-
l. feurs and taxi owners is the
Sunday driver( the man who keeps
his car in the garage all week to use
it only on the holiday.
New Yorks case is no different
from that of any Sother city, except
in the degree of traffic. The Sun
day driver comes out Of his garage
here as elsewhere, takes to the
highways and becomes the dread
of regular daily motorists.
That may be only state of mind,
without cause, in most cases. Yet
the fact that the Sunday driver"
complex exists points to some rea-
sonable ground for it. 1t goes back
to the all-too- careful driver who
slows up traffic behind, to the nerv-
Gus driver who puts those about him
at high pitch, and to the inexpe-
rienced driver who endangers 9TH
erS by his maneuverS.
If only the Sunday driver would
concede and remember that he is an
infrequent motorist, and drove mod
erately and carefully, if only he &C
quainted himself with traffic rules
and signs, there would be much less
resentment against him than there
is today.
A different kind of an automo-
bile race is suggested by Ettore
Bugatti, French motor car manu-
facturer. He suggests that num-
Der of well-known racing drivers
be equipped with exactly the same
type car and the winner will prove
himself the best driver.
We suggest Stutz Black Hawks be
used. These birds have the Fly
in them, all you need is a lot Of
lead in your feet and the nerve to
hold the wheel.

 The latest complete compilation of mine fatalities in the United States disclosss that out c: 2,SG5 deaths ln 1925, more than l.200 were caused by roof falls. With this situation clearly pointing 10 the mine roof as the greatest single safety problem in the industry, the bureau of mines Is conducting a special investigation under a specific appropriation from congress lu an attempt to reduce the hazard.
 The Investigation includes .. study of methods of mining as they affect roof action. methods Of roof sup port, methods for testing the sound ness Of the roof. and state laws and local regulations as they affect the exercise of precautions
 The work was begun in the coal mines ot West Virginia, with the cooperation Of the state department of mines. After one year Of this CO., operative effort, it was found that the number of fatalities from roof falls had been largely reduced in comparison with previous years while the production ot coal had been materially increased.
