CONVENTION TO DRAW
CARAVANS OF AUTOS
Large Number Of Motoring Dele
gates Expected for Shrine and
Elks' Meetings.

Indications are that the Shriners
and Elks' conventions to be held in June
and July in Southern California will
be attended by the largest number Of
motoring delegates Of any similar gath
erings so far assembled.
For some years the automobile has
been growing more and more popular
as a means of convention transporta-
ton until 1t has surpassed the railroad
as a passenger carrier. This year a
definite check Is probable. since there
will be data available through the CO.
operation Of the Automobile Club of
Southern California In the convention
plans.
This motoring organization has
broadsided an invitation TO the Shriners
and Elks in the East who are contem-
plating a motor tour to take advantage
OF the courtesies extended to out-of-
state motorists. All that the pros
pectiye motoring delegates have to do
is to write TO the club, stating when
and where their tour will begin and
suggesting which routes and points OF
interest VIII DO preferred.

SCRAPP|NG AUTOS
CAUSES HUGE LOSS
This Years 0bsolescent Cars
Had Initial Value of
$4,000, 900, 900.

Cars that have gasped out their last
bit of usefulness, 100000 strong and
of one-time value of $4,000, 000, 900
WILL during 1929, pass into oblivion
through smash-ups, cremation and
junking according to E. E. Duffy, high
way educational writer.
Bonfires, whose chief fodder are auto
mobiles used to the point Of exhaustion,
are now. the latest thing in making
certain the complete removal of old
wrecks from highways. Los Angeles
and Chicago have both recently burned
several hundred cars in public demon
Strations.
With the automobile registration fig
ure for the Nation nearing $4,000, 600
vehicles, a fairly large replacement sales
volume is to be expected. The spread
of good roads, however, is Tightening
car service.
One of the greatest costs the motor
owner faces is that of depreciation.
Aside from bad driving, which includes
undue ripping of gears and humping
into telephone poles and other peo-
pies cars, the road surface over which
the car Is driven has most to do with
it's premature death.
Replacement and repairing of broken
springs and other disrupted parts Of the
cars anatomy cost sizeable sums, and
strangely rare indeed Is the motor own
er who reckons these charges as tolls
collected by bad roads. Modern auto
mobiles are well built, and certainly
most breakage cannot be rightfully
charged to ordinary wear and tear.

RETURN TO MULTIpLE-CYLINDER
AUTO ENGINES IS INDICATED
Twelves Appear to Be in Immediate
Prospect, With Production of
Sixteens In 1880.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, April 27.-Indications
point to q return to multiplicity
engines by the builders Of high-priced
cars. Not since the days of the twin
skies and other power plants of similar
designation has the industry produced
any models in which the cylinders ex-
ceeded eight.
The immediate future, however. would
appear to hold the prospect that the
l2-cylinder engine is to return and that
16-cylinder motor will be produced
in 1890.
Such designs are known to be under
construction, having passed the re-
search and testing stages. While no
one is willing to go into detail on
specifications yet, leading engineer
has this to say:
within the next two months a num-
Der of new motor cars will come on
the market For the most part the
changes will not be radical, being con-
fined to refinements in mechanical and
body details. One manufacturer. how
ever. Is known to be planning a car
which will go so far beyond anything
produced today in both size and speed
as to be startling.
Distinctly New Offering.
"The new car will be the product of
one of the most stable of the manufac-
turing units, but the new product will
not supersede anything now embraced
in its present line. It will be distinct
ly new Offering, so constructed and so
priced as to be of limited appeal. How
ever, 1t will be production job. and
must therefore be considered as an adj
dition to the standard line of cars as
distinguished from the special con-
Struction."
Hudson, in It's current Essex speedster,
has deviated from the usual transmits
sion design. AS this model is of lower
weight and less head resistance than
standard closed models, for which the
regular transmission Is designed, new
method Is being employed to give higher
top speed with relatively lower engine
revolutions per minute.
Usually such result Is achieved by
lowering gear axle ration, and while in
the Essex sport car the final reduction
has been dropped from Sc to 500. 1t
was believed that top gear reduction
could be decreased even further. With
this intention a three-speed transmits
sion was developed in which an over
drive Is substituted for the usual inter-
mediate set Of gears.
The parts of the standard transmits
sion are used, with the exception of the
constant mesh gears and the gear unit
on the main shaft composed of the
direct drive and the second-speed driven
gear. For these others of an inverse
ratio have been substituted. With this

design, engineers say. the countershaft
gears have higher relative speed than
the main shaft.
The gear normally used for second
speed drive on the countershaft Is also
larger than its mating gear on the main
shaft, so that a still higher main shaft
speed is obtained. the ratio in this speed

The three Graham Brothers. oper-
ating as the Graham-Paige Corporation,
have produced car No. 100, 900. 1t came
off the production line week ago. and
IS months after the present line of
skies and Fights was introduced.
Graham Paige output is running 500
daily. The Grahams are now said to
control manufacturing plants and
equipment worth $4,000, 900.
General Motors has issued o COM
munication to inventors. In 1t Alfred
P. Sloan, jr., the president, comedies
that no matter how extensive research
and engineering activities may be, 1t Is
realized useful developments may
emanate from the outside. G. M. C.
wants to give proper consideration to
everything submitted, Mr.. Sloan ex-
plains. For this reason the new de-
vices committee exists to determine the
interest of the corporation in any de-
vice or suggestion offered 1t or any OF
its divisions or executives.
Activities of the committee are con-
fined to things for which patent pro-
lection is or would be offered for sale.
The committee Is composed Of vice
president of the corporation and other
engineering and business executives, who
cooperate and consult with the manu-
featuring divisions. The committees
decision Is final either for acceptance
or rejection.
Submitting devices by letter has
proved satisfactory, Mr.. Sloan adds. The
procedure has been so arranged that
sending ideas by mail often saves the
time and expense Of trip to Detroit.

first-class pavement mileage that makes
1t possible for Detroit motorists to get

troit is located, has the equivalent of
about 400 miles of smooth pavements of
a 40-foot width.
Los Angeles, possessed Of network OF
smooth pavements both within and
near the city, has the astounding ratio
of one car for each 2.25 persons.
Bad pavements, great mileages Of
which are found in most cities, consti-
tute the greatest obstacle to car buying
Along with narrow streets, bottle
necks" and the absence of high-speed
arteries, bad pavements account for the
low car ratio of one vehicle to every
seven persons In Boston, and Of one
passenger car for every nine living In
Philadelphia and Chicago.
New York has urgent need for ex-
tensive pavement replacing. The poor
pavement surfaces that exist on many
streets throw an undue burden on
few main routes. The chief pleasure
use of the car Is country motoring. In
that city, countless people do not own
cars because they do not care to buck

By WILLIAM z. BERCHTOLD,
Associated Press Automobile Editor.

The motorist has strong champion
of safe and adequate national park
roads in Horace M. Albright, the new
director Of national park service.
He considers the motorists safety
his chief aim in building up the Ma
tons outdoor playlandS for the enjoy
ment of the greatest number
Albright became identified with the
national park service In the same year
that the first automobile was permitted
10 enter the confines OF national park.
This was In 1918, when he went to work
for the Interior Department as an as
siStant attorney. devoti3g his attention
mainly to national park matters.
Prior TO that year Federal authorities
required early-day motorists TO park
their cars at the gates. They refused tn
have gasoline buggies running ram
pant soaring horses and other animals.
Cars finally we're permitted TO enter as
an experiment.
Since the first car entered Yosemite.
more than 900, 900 automobiles have
been driven through the reserve with
out q single fatal accident within he
park" Albright says. There are few,
IL any, cities burdened with such a
traffic which can boast such record,
especially II the nature of the country
TO be traversed Is considered"
Yosemite has more precipitous grades,
YnountainSide roads, and dangerous
hairpin turns than perhaps any other
national park in the country. Yet care
full attention to details OF road con-
struction, Albright says, has been re-
sponsible for elimination of hazards
which might have caused accidents.
Three million persons are expected
10 visit the national parks this year
Four out of five of them will drive theii
own automobiles. Twenty years ago, q
good season would attract 10000 per.
sons. most Of whom came by train.

LEGISLATION TO OUTLAW
THUMB TRIGGERS URGED
Ban on Seeking Auto Rides on
Massachusetts, Highways Is
Being Sought.

BOSTON (P).-Enactment Of legis-
lation to outlaw thumb-twiggers seeking
automobile rides on Massachusetts,
highways is being urged upon the Leg
islature by automobile clubs, motor
truck owners organizations and private
individuals.
At one hearing granted on the ques-
ton the chief opposition that devel-
oped came from Boston college stu
dent, who said that "thumbing" made
it possible for college men to get home
for their vacations and also contended
that a driver whose gas tank runs dry
should be permitted to beg a ride to
the nearest filling station.
A Boy Scout leader voiced opposition
to the proposed legislation on the
ground that home teaching rather than
law should be made the remedy for the
evil.

Two million people living in New
York City, Chicago. Philadelphia and
Boston do not own automobiles because
there are not enough good roads and
streets, according to E. E. Duffy, high
way educational writer.
Based on the car ownership ratio that
prevails in Detroit, New York City
should own more than one and one-half
million passenger cars instead Of $780,
00O BY the some reckoning, Chicago
should have an additional 535, 900 cars;
Philadelphia, 100000, and Boston, 49,
600.
In Detroit there is one car for every
3.5 persons. The reason for this high
rate of car ownership is found In the

mobile lifetime because of the sunbaked
rutty roads. Missouri at present has
1850 miles of concrete. so cars operat-
ing for the most part over the State
highway system now approach a full
span of service.
The normal life Of car depends upon
the treatment given it by the owner,
which indirectly has to do with the
highways over which he drives. An ex-
ira year of service may be squeezed out
of rattle-trap just as 1t can be done
with an old pair Of shoes. However.
there is one difference, and that Is In
regard to public safety.

IOWA j. WILL SEEK
RETURN TO BIC TEN
Decides to Take Such Step
After Lengthy Confab
With Griffith.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, May 29.-Recovery
from its most painful illness
during its long existence today
~ was in sight for the Big Ten
Conference.
The athletic council of the Univer-
sity Of Iowa, expelled from the organi-
zation for violation of rules concerning
the substituting of athletes, last night
wired Prof. G.. A. Goodenough of the
University of Illinois, chairman of the
faculty committee, that 1t had requested
President Walter JeSSup to ask recon-
sideration of the drastic ruling.
The resolution to request the presi-
dent to ask a hearing followed lengthy
conference with Maj. John L. Griffith,
Big Ten athletic commissioner, who
went to Iowa City to aid In unraveling
the tangled situation here. Griffith in
dicated that the basis of the charge
upon which Iowa was expelled was the
existence of a slush fund for the main
tenance of athletes, and not question
CT recruiting.
Prof. Goodenough said he could not
call meeting Of his committee until
he had received a formal request from
President JesSup, and until he had
sounded out his colleagues, but indi-
Gated the latter would be favorable and
that such meeting would be held
soon. Goodenough said he would COM
municate with other members of the
committee today and would call spe-
cial session If instructed by them.
The Illinois representative on the
committee also declared that a special
committee appointed to investigate evil
dence of violations on the part of other
Big Ten schools had no specific cases
on hand. but was looking into the .af-
fairs OF each school generally.

He volunteered no comment when
the name of DR.. John w. Wilce. re-
