AUTO SERVICE SHOPS
SEEK SPEED IN WORK
Machines and Special Tools Are
Used as Much as Possible to
Carry Out Program.

Automobile service is following the
example set by automobile manufacture
ing. according to j. F. Page, general
service manager in the automotive field.
Machines and special tools are replacing
hand work as much and as rapidly as
possible. Lowered cost to the car owner
and further shortening Of the time he
must be without his automobile are the
principal results.
American people have come to rely so
completely on their motor cars for per-
sonal transportation that they can af-
ford to let them remain in the service
stations for mechanical adjustments
only the minimum of time. Where a
man few years ago thought nothing
of giving up his car for a complete
overhauling or repainting, today he
wants to leave it in the morning on his
way to business and get it at night for
his return home. He is lost without it
when he needs it.
More thought is being given by the
motor car industry to service all the
time as a result of the automobiles ele-
walton to the position it now occupies
among the country's necessities Service
work has been accepted as q manufac-
turing problem and is having the lessons
learned by the industry in manufac-
turing successfully applied to 1t.

WINDSHIELD CLEANER
OPERATION IMPORTANT
fabrication Necessary to Keep De-
vice in Proper Working Order
During Heavy Rains.

Operation Of the windshield cleaner
Is matter Of importance in a hard
rain. Hence it Is well to make sure of
its fabrication, giving the following as
the proper method:
Remove the hose on the cleaner and
attach another short length Of hose
one end Of which Is inserted In 4 small
ell can containing . light oil. with
one end Of the tube In the oil can,
move the cleaner blade back and forth
through its full travelling length. This
will cause the cleaner to draw in
enough oil to lubricate it. Two or
three swings Of the cleaner blade will
be sufhcient and the operation per-
formed two or three times a year will
be enough. The hose of the cleaner
itself should not be used for this oiline
job. as oil tends to deteriorate the rub
Der. Next make sure that the hose
which operates the windshield cleaner is
not leaking, since the cleaner is con-
necte0 directly with the vacuum tank
and q 1eaky hose would cause q reduc-
tea Of the vacuum In the tank, and
ed1g tu turn could result In hard start
Aag OF the Improper operation Of the
vacuum tank.

EUROPEANS COPY
U. S. CAR DESIGNS
American Automobiles Prove Popu.
lar in Foreign Markets-Greater
Development Is Sought.

Writing in automobile publications,
a number of body engineers on return
ing from the Paris Salon last Fall re-
marked on the very noticeable ten
dency Of a number Of European manu-
facturers to copy American automo-
bile design, both as to exterior appear
ance and as to certain engineering
practices, according to Howard S.
WEIGH, president Studebaker- Pierce
Arrow Exports.
This tendency was in evidence
throughout the salon and probably was
due not SO much to flattery as to the
conviction on the part of various
European manufacturers that designs
conforming more closely to American
ideas would increase their sales. This
theory is sound, if one Is to judge by
the increasing popularity of American
automobiles in most of the overseas
markets during the past 10 years, he
says. Whether the designing Of their
cars along more American lines will
enable them to secure q larger per-
centage of the automobile business
than they have obtained in the past,
Is open to question, since the American
advantage of much lower production
costs still exists.
American manufacturers work in de-
veloping the overseas markets, while
aggressive, has been at all times friend
ly, and there can be no doubt that
this policy has made 1t possible to
build up a valuable and ever increasing
clientele for American automobiles
throughout the world. American manu-
facturers recognize that the overseas
purchaser of an automobile manufac-
tured many thousands of miles away
in foreign country is entitled to the
maximum assurance that he will be
well looked after; he is entitled to know
that he can purchase replacement parts
close at hand, that he can have the
assistance of expert service men and
that the automobile for which he ex-
changes his money will not be or
phaned, leaving him the possessor of
a motor car that is no longer sponsor
ed by a manufacturer; he is entitled
to know that the car he purchases is
exactly the same as the car purchased
by the American buyer. He should
feel certain that the merchandise sold
him by a foreign importer is not be-
ing dumped" into his country, and
Furthermore he should be satisfied that
the American manufacturer is not US
ing his country as a proving ground
to try out new engineering designs
In short, above all else, he wants to
know that he is buying a seasoned"
automobile, 1naSmuch as he Is paving
from one and one-half to two times
as much for the same car as is paid
by the American owner in the United
States.

FIRM FOUNDATION SEEN
FOR TRUCK INDUSTRY
Construction Program of Nation Is
Held Certain to Assure
Steady Production.

The genuine soundness of general
business conditions forms a solid foun-
dation upon which the motor truck in
dustry during 1880 is bound to prosper,
according to Howard E. Sneathen, de
rector Dodge truck sales. The stimu-
lating effects of gigantic construction
and improvement programs projected
by Government and industry during the
next IL months are already manifest.
he believes, adding:
ANY number of factors pointing di-
rectly to an increased volume of motor
truck business can be easily marShaled
In even the most casual appraisal of
sales prospects for the coming year.
Primarily, lower Federal Reserve dis
count rates will provide an abundance
of money for every legitimate business
enterprise, enabling truck operators to
replace and add to their transportation
equipment.
More trucks will be required to carry
out the $4,000 000, 900 construction pro-
gram of the railroads, industry, public
utilities. Federal, State and municipal

Take few actual figures from the

months Of the year it served exactly
1898 people at its touring counter. an
average of 179 day. 1t handled S.
422 calls for emergency road service.
On one day when bad weather sud-
denly hit the territory the emergency
service equipment of the club came to
the relief OF 1920 stranded motorists.
Whole Picture Is Similar.
The picture of personal service for
the country as whole is very similar
only that the picture must be multi
piled by the number of comparable
units comprising the A. A. A. travel
system. In the matter of domestic
touring service alone the records show
that 1000 touring counSelorS in A. A. A
clubs handled some 100000 tours In
1929. During the year 1928, the last
for which complete figures are avail
able, A. A. A. clubs handled 85,742
emergency road calls at a cost OF
81 ,O66, 500.
Just as the American Automobile As
ISOLATION worked out its Affiliations and
extended its cooperation in Canada
and in Europe in order to carry it,
service more effectively into these
areas, so now it is prepared to join
hands with corresponding organiza-
tions in Latin America and South
America to the end that the dream OF
great flow of Pan-American travel
may come true.

MORE EXACTING MARKET
IS PREDICTED FOR 1880
Return of Business to Sound Foot
ing Finds Buyers Making
Purchases Carefully.

The year 1929 has gone down in his
tory as a period of record accomplish
ment in every division of the automobile
industry and one which has prepared
the leading makers of motor cars to
meet the demands of a more thought
full and a more careful public in 1880,
according to G. H. Bliss, sales manager
In the automotive industry.
There is little doubt that the great
American market in the year to come
will be a much more exacting market
than experienced in a number of years,
he declared. Business has returned to
sound, normal footing. People have
stopped thinking in terms of booms
and easy money. Their purchases are
being considered carefully. They are
seeking out established values and serv-
ice In what they buy rather than sur
face attractiveness and novelty.
Such market should yield handsome
returns to the manufacturer who places
honest workmanship and excess value
for each dollar Of cost in his product
above high production and quick profits,
he concludes.

HEFL|N SATISFIED
 WITH VOTE RESULT
Says He Will Feast on John
 Bankhead'S Bones

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. Is CUP) Senator Thomas Hefin strode into the lobby of the Tutwiler hotel here yesterday. fresh from his home down in Chambers county where he had remained over election day. He was newly shaved, his white linen suit carefully pressed, his big white campaign hat just from the clean CTS. A smile was on his face.
 Its just what I wanted" said Senator Heflin, asked 10 comment on the outcome of Tuesdays pri- head. wealthy attorney and coal op- erator to run against Hefin for the senate in November The same primary apparently made Judge 5. NJ. Miller the candidate for governor against Judge Hugh M. Locke Heflin's team mate.
 Hasn't Begun to Fight
 'They couldn't have done better for me" went on the senator. Now I'll begin to fight. l hadn't started yet. I've been busy in Washington, but between now and November I'll get out and tell the voters what it is all about and just what's back Of it all"
 The senator thumped his ample foot upon the floor
 You can just bet he said, "I'll feast on John Bankhead's bones next November"
 The senator was in high good na- lure as he went on to analyze the situation. He pointed out that the vote for governor was perhaps 50, O0O or even more than that below the vote cast in the 1928 presiden- tial election and that the vote for senator was only so per cent of that cast for governor-probably not more than 15o.0oO to 16O,0oo.
 He attributed the small vote, par ticularly for senator, to people who heard and needed his appeals to keep cut of the "Tammany- Rome Raskob" primary and join the ban Ter Of his own personally organized "Jefiersonian democrats"
