With automobile production and

ords Of years gone by, ii Is evident
that public trend toward the
straight-eight is rapidly growing in
intensity. according to Thomas 4.
Jarrard. general sales director o.
the Marmon Motor Car company.
A survey or automobile registra-
tons throughout the country for
the first seven months Of the year
ccnclusively shows that sales az
eight cylinder cars are greater this
year than ever before. Mr.. Jarrard
pointed out. This fact. he said. Is
apparent not only in the large
cities and thickly populated areas.
but in the rural districts and, in
fact. wherever automobiles are
used or sold.
When all facts are taken into
consideration, this rather remark
able increase in public desire for
Fights is not an unusual circum-
stance. but rather the natural re-
suit Of growing knowledge OF the
advantages Of this type Of car" Mr..
Jarrard said. Likewise. the factor
Of price has been significant, for i
must be realized that. by and large.

a means Of reducing the startling

Commander Schaeffer has had

Schaeffer's observations lead 70

Schaeffer believes that a danger
