SMALL CAR NEEDED
FOR EUROPE TRADE
U. S. Makers Supply so Per
Cent of Autos Sold in For
eign Countries.

Seventy eight per cent of the esu-
mated number Of all the cars in the
world are now in use in the United
States, and this country builds "a per
cent of all the cars produced in the
world. The next important producing
countries are: Canada, 3.9 per cent;
England, AZ per cent; France, 3.8 per
cent; Germany, 1.8 per cent, and Italy,
l per cent.
All the other producing countries
combined account for only 0.6 per cent
of the worlds total. AS regards whole
sale value of products, the American
automobile ranks first among all indus
tries in the United States. These facts
are brought out in an article published
in the S. A. E. Journal for May, by
Motors Export Co., and Clarence M.
Foss, engineer on General Motors ex-
port staff.
U. S. Imports 500 Cars in 1928.
The overseas market covers Tx times
as much territory as the American mar
ket, contains 1917 times as many inhabi-
tantS and at present absorbS approx
mately 100000 automobiles per year
About one-half of these are supplied
by the United States, the other half be-
600 cars were imported into the United
States in 1923.
wherever we go in the overseas
countries" the article says, ''one finds
the small European car establishing Its
position, although inadequate for ideal
purposes" To meet the overseas de-
mand for lowest-cost individual auto
motive transportation. MeSSerS. Mooney
and Foss recommend an entirely new
product in the form Of light car. 1t
should be smaller and lighter than the
smallest present American car and less
expensive to own and operate. 1t is
important in the design and develop
ment of the light car that considera-
ton be given to the factors of appear
ance, comfort, price and performance.
The ways in which these enter into the
problem are as follows:
Appearance.-The car should have
correct proportions and the general
characteristics of the average first-class
automobile of today. 1t should be small
but not ridiculous. 1t should be good
must be all that can be asked for.
Comfort.-The car must be COM
Portable, not only to sit In but to ride
in and operate. and easy to take
care of and service.
Price.-Dollar value is more i'm
portant than list price. High quality
should be maintained in both work
manship and material.
Performance-Thec car must be ef-
ficient and economical to operate and
maintain. This means low gasoline
and Oil consumption, high tire-mileage,
easy inexpensive service, long car-life
and high secondhand value. Any
part required to make complete unit
should be included. emitting all I'M
necessary parts. The weight must be
reduced to the minimum. Excessive
power is not recommended. Above ALL
the car must be inexpensive to own
and to operate.

HIGHWAY WRITER
URGES GOOD ROADS
Comprehensive Ideas of I'M
portance of Constructing
Good Pixies Are Afforded.

Antiquated highways, still quite COM
mon, have no honored place IN the
modern transportation scheme, accord
ing to E. E. Duffy, highway industrial
writer. Commercial usage of the high
way is being made to an extent that al
most bewilderS the imagination.
Many railroad companies now, operate
bus lines. Motor coaches and trucks
in some instances have replaced branch
line steam transportation. The latest
railroad to enter the motor transport
tation field is the Burlington, which Is
now maintaining schedules between sew
eral principal cities Of Nebraska. A
significant feature of this service is
that it parallels railroad lines.
A fairly clear picture of the I'M
portance of the highway may be OBJ
tained from the railroad passenger
figures of 1920, which show the low
est volume in 20 years. One of the
leading railroads attributes this falling
off in business to a number Of causes,
but the chief is that of increased use
of the passenger car and the motor
bus.
Hard on Highways.
Consequently highways are being
punished today in a measure not an
ticipated a dozen years ago. Unfor-
tunately much of this traffic is forced
over roads as oldfashioned as cellu-
loid collars. Automobiles are not de-
signed to jiggle over washboardS, shell
holes, or surfaces that wear out nerves
as we'll as tires and other automotive
equipment.
In building new highways. a COM
munity can best serve itself by ordering
roads thoroughly in keeping with its
current traffic needs, and of even
greater importance, its potential needs
There is no way of definitely measuring
tomorrows requirements, but it can be
truthfully stated that not a single COM
munity in this country has more well
paved roads than it has good use for.
Construction Ideas.
This matter of road building has its
peculiarities, The criticism has been
levied that those making commercial
use of the highways should be heavily
taxed for the construction and upkeep
of the roads. Examination of State and
local records reveals that commercial
car owners are indeed paying their
share, and sometimes perhaps more
than their share, of the road expense.
Commercial cars are nothing more than
public servants, yet all too frequently
heavy vehicles are unduly blamed for
the excessive wear and tear of the
public highway. Inferior streets natu-
rally deteriorate under heavy traffic. and
clearly the community must build sub
stantial pavements for this commercial
travel.
Roads should be built that are wide
and smooth, continuous and direct. BY
so doing transportation is improved and
its cost is lowered That means that
the public is benefiting itself.

THE NEW ERA OF POWER
SERVICE

The power industry is growing and
changing at an almost dazzling rate
Within a comparatively few years the
small electric plant came into being,
reached its maximum, and began to
disappear Mass production, the new
industrial philosophy, is creating gi-
gantic interconnected systems, des
tined to serve millions Of homes in
thousands of towns and cities, and
in farming communities.
There is new attitude here-a
change in method. Power companies
today, realizing that their progress
and even their existence depends up
on the quality and price of service
they give the public, are out to cut
costs and improve facilities on every
hand. Every consolidation means unit
profits may be decreased and yet pro-
duce an aggregate profit. Power is
being sold as automobiles or shoes are
Soda maximum Of quality for a
minimum of price.
1t is this development that has been
confused in many minds by shouts of
trust" At present a score Of great
companies are, figuratively speaking
battling with each other to extend
into new territory, Power companies,
while seldom competitive in a single
locality, are competing on a nation
wide scale to give better service.
1t is a proven axiom that large
turnover permits of lower cost. The
electric power industry is working on
this principle and the public reaps the
benefit in higher standards of service
at lower rates.
