Motorists Often Must Adopt Old Maxim,
Longest Way Round Shortest Way Home

Where highway programs have not
been completed American motorists ac-
cept as fact the old maxim, THE long
est way round is the shortest way
home"
They are hardened to the habit of
State roads deliberately ducking away
from a direct route to carry the unin-
terested motoriSt through villages
which have even less interest in him.
This habit grew out of the mistaken
belief that Main street would prosper
and flourish if the State road could
be detourned to pass between its row
of stores.
Practice has shown that Main street
needs only a direct connection with
the State road. Motorists then have
easy access to its benefits and services
if they have need of them. And, if the
steady stream of croSs-country motor
traffic is kept of of Main street, con-
gestion, confusion and time loss will be
eliminated. With the great increase
in long-distance trucking, this item
alone constitutes a nuisance to the
trucks and hazard to the town which
has insisted that it be put directly on
the trunk highway.
To the motorist, these detours are
expensive. For example, Illinois State
Highway Is the shortest route between
st. Louis and Chicago. Traffic over It
Is constant and heavy. Yet every sin
gle vehicle must make 10-mlle detour
when No. 4 gets in the general vicinity

in better shape to carry out their func.
tons as shock absorbeIs.
The automobile owner should see TO IL
that his springs are kept sufficiently
oiled to give the best possible riding
comfort and to insure the least pos
slbility Of the springs breaking.
When the automobile strikes a bump
IN the road the springs are Strengthened
out and thus for brief instant become
longer. For this reason springs are at
tached to the automobile chassis with
spring shackles, which operate on the
principle Of door hinge, and permit the
springs to become shorter or longer
when the car Is being driven. The
springs are attached to the shackles or
hinges with shackle bolts or hinge pins.
Due to the fact that springs become
shorter or longer, depending upon the
unevenness Of the highway, it is neces-
sary that the spring hinges and spring
pins be kept well fabricated, to insure
the necessary spring motion. Cup grease
Is good lubricant to use In this con-
nection because it is non-duid and will,
therefore remain longer IN the shackles.
These may be fabricated every 500 miles.
The aXleS, which are other little known
I. ctors Of an automobile, are bolted to
these springs by means Of steel clamps
There are two Of them, one in front and
one at the rear. The former supports
the front end Of the car above the front
wheels, the other supports the rear-end
OF the car and relays the power through
the differential to the rear or driving
wheels.

any subject pertaining to the automo-

result in the elimination of railway

is one of the mutual hopes Of highway
and railway engineers.

mony in the decorative scheme Of

color is applied.
Trend of Today.
So today the trend is decidedly
toward the lighter, more bril-
liant hues in more artistic and
harmonious combinations, and
especially is this true in the deco
rative motifs of the new automo-
bile bodies. Nowhere has this
new conception of color been more
clearly demonstrated than at the
automobile shows in Paris, Lon
don, New York and Chicago. In
the cars exhibited at these out
standing motor shows the lighter,
more brilliant hueS predominated.
And, while there were representa-
tive types of cars in blacks, whites
and Sedate colorS for conServa-
tive tastes at these shows, these
were conSpicuously in the minor
ity, a situation which further en-
phaSized the fact that there is
definite trend toward a more re-
ceptive attitude of the things
which make life agreeable.
This trend, asSuredly a step up
on the ladder of culture, is due
to the fact that, as a people, we
Of America are emerging from
drab age, during which we were
concerned chiefly with industrial,
commercial and agricultural prob
lens, into an era of greater pros
perity and leisure which makes it
possible for us to develop an in
telligent interest in beauty and
to overcome our national inertia
with respect to the fine and allied
arts. The people of the United
States are therefore gradually,
though surely, beginning to adjust
their business, industrial and agri-
cultural problems in such a way
that they have more time to study
their eSthetic as we'll as their ac-
tual needs in life. This has
awakened in them a renewed in
terest in the artistic decoration Of
many Of the necessary things in
life today. No better example of
this can be cited than the pres
ent day demand for colorful auto
mobiles.
Three Forces at Work.
There are three forces at work
toward the end that we may have
more time to enjoy life and to de-
velop taste for beautiful things
wealth, labor saving devices and
rapid transportation, in all of
which color plays a tremendous
part.
It is a matter of record that a
nation does not become color con-
SciouS until a large proportion of
it's people have leisure to take adj
vantage of the innumerable OPP
portunities at hand for widening
the cultural horizon.
We have access to fine libraries,
art museums, moving picture pal
aces, shops where experts are en-
ployed to display attractive mer-
chandise artistically, radios, cars
to transport us into the country,
where we may enjoy the beauties
Of nature, and many other adj
vantages.
Moreover, the spirit of youth
dominates this new age-and
when was youth not colorful?
We are diScarding the home
spun drabneSS and slow motion
of our forefathers for the scintil-
lating brilliancy and rapid vibra-
lions of the modernS.
In other words, we are being our
age.

n n ANY, many long years ago
Nh the "horSeleSS carriages"
wv were red in color. Now
4 ' only the fife engines lead
in that hue and, while all the
shades of the spectrum are to be
seen, it is of interest to find what
color has the lead for 1880.
Brown has gained leadership
over all other automobile color
families for the first time on rec
ord, and by a wide margin, states
a recent issue of the Automobile
Color Index. For more than two
years dark, rich tones of brown
have been the dominating fash
ion colorS in the dress industries
of America and France. Public
recognition of the appeal of brown
for the present is asserting itself
in the automotive industry at the
expense of blue.
Blue at Low Ebb.
Blue is at its lowest ebb in II
months and reflects the declining
vogue of this hue in centers of
style leadership.
Green is still following the
sharp upward trend commenced
last November. Brown and green
will undoubtedly be the colors of
outstanding Importance in the
automotive world this Spring.
Paris has been advocating dark,
rich blush hues of green for many
months. The index has shown
green very decidedly on the up
grade since last May.
Maroon has long been a popular
automobile color with the general
public, but has been unfavorably
regarded by manufacturers in the
medium and low price car fields,
because of the price penalty the
use of maroon formerly imposed.
Recently non-breeding, durable
maroons have been made avail
able for use without requiring a
ground coat to assure satisfactory
results. This reduction in the pen
atty has encouraged more manu-
facturerS to release maroonS for
production and the public has
been swift to welcome the advent
Of this rich color family. Maroons
are extremely popular for use with
rich medium browns.
Gray Demand Small.
There is little demand for gray
at this time. The gray color
family has lost more ground in
year than any of the five other
trends.
Refinement and style emphasis
in color treatment are the out
standing attributes of the ma
jority of 1880 automobile models.
The people of America have be-
come decidedly color conscious.
Today in our homes and our
places of business there are nu-
merous evidences of this fact. How
ever, it is only in comparatively
recent years that this color con-
seriousness has taken on the pro-
portions of an insiStent demand
a demand which has gone be-
yond the confines of art as such
and has invaded business and in
duStry, as a result of which the
work-a-day world and our homes
are today literally drenched in
color
But with all this clamor for
color and more color has come a
growing demand for chromatic
hues and shades that fit in we'll
with today's conception of fitness
and harmony-a demand which
gets away from both the glazing
and the drab colors that shock
the sensibilities and denote gloom,
and ernnha sizes the need of

North Carolina Has Record of Serv.

Motorists IN possession of all Of their

the drivers in the State who have suf-
fered the loss Of their hearing.
While it is a known principle Of
compensation that the loss Of one sense
sharpens those remaining" says the
statement, "the North Carolina record
offers a challenge to normal drivers"

the 100 deaf drivers have averted acct
dents by careful use Of their sight.
