ECONOMY CENTERS
IN STRAIGHT EIGHT.
Operation as Well as Main.
tenance Included in
Lower Costs.

Economy Of operation as well as
economy OF maintenance has been. in
recent years. one of the chief consider
ations Of automotive engineers and the
result to the great satisfaction Of the
motorist, has been material reduction
in the cost of operating all types of
modern automobiles, according to
Thomas j. Little, jr., chief engineer,
Marmon Motor Co.
The matter of operating expense, in
fact, has resolved itself into a question
OF power and, generally speaking, mod
ern engines of the same power use the
same amount of gasoline regardless of
the number Of cylinders employed.
Thus. it Is apparent that the old be-
lief that additional climbers meant
more gasoline consumption has been
tossed into discard along with other
5fS-repeated but mistaken ideas that
have fingered in the minds of many
since the days Of the first four cylinder
car. Today the buyer of modern
straight eight may be assured that his
car may be operated as cfeaply as a six
or a four cylinder car of the same
power
Eight-in-line engines were adopted,
not merely because they developed more
power, but because they were smoother
In operation. The larger number Of
cylinders Is Offset, as far as piston dis
placement is concerned, by the fact that
the cylinders are smaller. And If the
size OF the cylinders is reduced, it is
also possible to reduce the weights Of
the reciprocating parts such as pistons,
connecting rods. wrist pins and the like.
Delving deeper into the subject, the
SmothneSS of operation of a gasoline
engine is dependent upon the con-
ttnuity and rapidity of occurrence Of
the explosive forces. Since smooth
ness and absence Of vibration are
prime requirements of the modern
automobile engine it is necessary that
they be obtained without increasing
the cost of operation, and this has
been accomplished by more efficient
methods of manifolding and other en-
cheering advances.
In the days before engineers under
stood proper manifold design for
Stralght-eightS it was common
thing for the end cylinders to become
Starved because they were not re-
as the others. To Offset this discrep-
ancy required rich carburetor adjust.
ments, with the result that most CYL
4nderS received far too much gasoline.
But new manifolding designs have
eliminated all such difficulties Every
cylinder in the up-to-date straight
eight receives the same amount of
gasoline and, because the cylinders
are smaller in size and the recipro-
eating parts lighter in weight, less
gasoline is required for each.
Another factor in the economy of
the straight-eight is its ability to
operate throughout a greater range of
speed without gear changing. Ger
tainly an engine is more economical
when running in high gear and
therefore an engine such as the
straight-eight which will propel
car through the maze of present-day
city traffic with but occasional gear
shifting is highly desirable from the
standpoint Of economy Of operation.

Car Owners Pay Seventeenth of Cent
Per Mile for Tires During Last Year

Car owners Of the Nation paid an
average OF one-seventeenth Of q cent
Tor every tire mile In 1928.
This per mile cost of tires for last
year compares with a cost Of cent q
mile in 1913 and furnishes an i'm
preSsive idea Of the DEVELOPMENT Of
Americas great tire industry.
The three greatest DEVELOPMENTS
were: Lifting by the British govern
ment OF the Six-year restriction on the
exploration OF crude rubber from the
Far East rubber plantations under
British rule: the development Of line
OF super" tires by practically all manu-
facturers and the formation by Ameri-
can rubber manufacturers Of the Rub
per Institute, Inc, under the direction
Of Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews.
Crude Curb Lifted.
Ending Of the curb placed BY the
British on the amount of crude rubber
that could be exported from plantations
to world consumers means that crude
rubber prices will no longer be held to
high levels artificially. This restriction
policy resulted in keeping rubber prices
at from 26 cents to $1.21 a pound in
the intervening period. This might
have been reflected in the price of tires
to the public except for the fact that
TO the everlasting credit of the tire
manufacturers, this increased cost Of
raw materials was practically Offset by
production economies that did not
penalize the tire buyer for unusual raw
material market conditions.
What the end of restriction Of rub
Der expectation will undoubtedly mean
to the car owner is that now that the
law Of supply and demand can resume
operation, tire manufacturers will be
assured OF adequate supplies Of rubber
at low prices, making the public. secure,
unless other conditions arise. against
any increase in tire prices during the
year. That is the outlook, but to make
definite predictions is foolhardy. The
release Of plenty of rubber at reaSon-
ably low prices will probably mean also
that more Efirst-quality rubber will be
used in tires instead Of a varying per-
centage Of reclaimed rubber, which was
widely used when prices were high and
the supply somewhat limited.
Super Tire Developed.
Last year saw the development Of
the super" tire by most manufacturers.
This tire was variously described In
manufacturers advertising as better
than one needs" practically puncture
proof" and with care it will probably
last as long as you keep your car
Manufacturers tests of this tire indi-
cate that 1t will give greater mileage
than ordinary types Of balloon tires,
with greater initial cost. AS 1t has
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-27

been on the market only since Sum-
mer, its performance has not been
tested generally by the public and the
extent Of its public acceptance has not
been determined.
Formation Of the Rubber Institute,
Inc, while primarily for the correction
Of trade evils, has resulted In two d.
rect benefits to tire users. The first
was the extension Of the warranty as
to materials and workmanship from the
former 90-day period to include the
life Of the tire. The second benefit was
the institutes effort, through tire deal
ers, to educate the public to the proper
care Of tires to secure long mileage.
Production figures for 1928 are not
yet available, but It Is estimated that
1t showed an 8 to 10 per cent increase
over the total of 64000,00o tires and
100000 tubes produced in 1927.
In 1918 the average cost OF q tire
per mile to the user was cent. In
1928 it was estimated to be about one
seventeenth Of a cent. For 1929 1t
should not be greater. with excellent
chance Of its being less, If you like to

AUTO
SEEN AS FIXTURE
American Demand for Better
Things of Life Is Given
as Reason.

More people than ever are thinking
in terms Of higher-priced automobiles.
Prosperity has touched increasing thou
sands, and those who share In it are
as eager as ever to satisfy the typically
American desires for finer and better
things, according to George z. Willis,
vice president Of the Pierce Arrow Motor
Car Co.
When mass production cars first be-
gan to reach large volume, predictions
were made that the days of higher
priced cars we're numbered. Instead,
they have enjoyed a greater growth
than ever, for the mass production cars
made the public automobile minded and
multiplied the numbers who annually
graduate into the ranks of higher
priced ownership.
Future Has Possibilities.
$50 long as Americans strive for
better things, the fine car market will
continue to grow" Mr.. Willis said.
Certainly there Is no indication of any
let-up. II the day ever comes when
there is, then the time will have ar
rived for the collapse of the market for
better cars, better homes, better fur
niture, better clothes and better every
thing else. But to date, the dollar
watch has made no inroadS on fine
timepieces; the machine-woven rugs
have not destroyed the demand for
Orientals; the knock-down house has
not replaced the fine residence Of select
neighborhoods.
THE future of the higher-priced car
has possibilities which reach far be-
yond its present proportions because
there are increasing numbers among
the 100000 Of American car owners
who annually are satisfying their desire
for something little better than the
car they now own. This drift from one
price classification to the one above 1t
has been so pronounced in recent years
that 1t now is regarded as a perfectly
normal and customary thing.
Indeed, it will surprise me If this
trend does not assume record proper
tons during 1929, because automobile
owners rapidly are learning that So
called high-priced cars are not high
priced at all. They are discovering that
they can think Of these finer cars In
terms OF their own budgets. The
builders Of these cars have made such
rapid strides during recent years Ia pro-
ducing improved values at lower costs
that automobile owners are Just begin
ming to readjust their impression Of
the prices Of these cars.
To-day the fine car Is within such

thought uppermost In the minds Of most
motor tourists nowadays. That the
question Of eating and sleeping Is Of
vital concern to motorists Is indicated
by hundreds Of inquiries reaching the

These inquiries reveal the very sig

the tourist away from a community and

New Orleans, Aug. l3.-(AP)-
Open fighting broke out in the city
council chamber this morning when
q union labor committee presented to

sands Of citizens asking that the or
dinlnce place a ban on jitncy buses
in the street car strike be revoked.
The fight started over remarks
made to q policeman who directed
tear bombs at q mob that stoned
street cars last night near a mass
meeting Of union sympathizers.
The policeman fired several
shots in the corridors floor during
the height of the disturbance and
a boy bystander was hit in the foot.
Members Of the council were jost-
led about in the melee and furnished
targets for fist blows.
Police reserves we're called and re-
stored order.
None Of the commissioners was Sc
riously hurt. Acting Mayor Walms-
ley was struck by blow in the abdo-
men. Commissioners Paul b. Habans
and w. T. Hall were struck before
police could rescue them from the
crowd of men and women.
During the pandemonium Of shouts,
boos, fists flying and shots in the
building q dozen policemen were
assaulted by the mob.
Captain Henry Nelson Of the police
department, was set upon and
stamped and beaten about the head
before other officers could stop the
mob action.
At that point. with the city COM
missioners safely In their offices
detective Fred williams jumped on
q counter in the corridor with leveled
guns and succeeded In quieting down
the enraged crowd for q time.
Miss Ida Giefers, school teacher,
mounted q platform and addressed
the rioters In calm voice and per-
suaded many to leave the building.
Rioting then was resumed on the
outside and q Gordon Of police with
shotguns and pistols held off the
second assault on the building.
Superintendent Of Police Theodore
Ray, who arrived on the scene during
the major disorders, summoned heavy
guards from all precinct stations In
the city to break up the formations
OF rioters in front Of the building
