the mail order" car credited to James
v. Martin of Garden City. It weighed
only 600 pounds and was intended to
sell through mail-order houses for about
$500. According to Mr. Martins plan
the packing case in which 1t was to be
shipped would later serve its owner as
a garage. This car had no chassis
frame. The body was placed directly
on the wheels, which had no springs.
Bumps were overcome in the same
manner as in airplanes running along
the ground-by the use of rubber "avia-
tor cords"
Then there was the collapsible car
invented by Heinrich Zachsa of Berlin,
Germany. Herr zachsa called it a
folding automobile" He said it could
be built and sold for $3.50. The body
was made of the material used for top
covering and was attached to the frame
by buttons 1t was possible to dissemble
this job In case no other shelter hap
pened to be available, the owner could
tear it down and park it, part by part,
in the back kitchen for the night.

"Carlettes" Spreading.

Makers whose main activity consists Of
stock passenger cars in the top price
ranges no longer depend solely upon
the custom building shops for their spe-
cial requirements. To serve the rich
clientele they have established studio
plants in which months are devoted to
the production of designs that cost
$4,000 to SIS, 900 and upward
General Motors maintains Fleetwood
as division of this kind, and during
the present year has moved this organ
ization from its original home at Fleet
wood, Pa, to Detroit. It's chief func-
ton is to produce individualized coach
work for Cadillac.
Packard likewise has created its own
division of custom building, and Is turn
out town cars, cabrioletS, landaulets
and other special body types. Pierce
Arrow also is fabricating salon models
in addition to its production types.
The body builders, such as Fisher,
which produces for General Motors in
volume, likewise maintain specialized
divisions capable of fine artistry in de-
sign. Briggs has Lebanon, Inc, as a
subsidiary, while Murray operates Diet

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, october 4.-The salon d.
vision of the automobile industry is
getting ready for its annual New York
and Chicago exhibitions.
These precede the national automo-
bile shows, which take place after jan
uary /. The first of the automobile
salons is to open in Chicago November
8, to be followed by later showing in
New York, to begin November 80.
The salon cars embody chassis and
ccachcraft design created to art stand
ards comparable to those of architec-
ture, painting, woodcarving or hand
worked tapestries. A few years ago the
market for such models was limited to
a relatively few millionaires whose
esthetic taste happened to call for indi-
vidual cars embodying their own ideas
of luxury and elegance.
But, like other branches of automo-
bilism, the production of custom-built
cars also has undergone expansion.

Fewer accidents took place at highway
OF 1880 than in any corresponding Pc
Rod since 1925. This was also true as
to fatalities and persons injured.
This was shown by reports for that
period just received from the railroads
by the safety section of the American
Railway Association.
The reduction compared with 1925
took place in the face of the fact there
has been an increase In that period of
approximately 80 per cent in the num-
Der Of automobiles in use.
Accidents Total 2,335.
Accidents at highway grade crossings
totaled 1885 for the first six months
this year, the smallest for any corre-
spending period since 1925 when there
were 2,276. Fatalities resulting from
such accidents totaled 962 in the FIRST
half of 1880, which also was the lowest
number for any corresponding period
since 1925, when there were Gal, while
persons injured so far this year totaled
1855, compared with 1852 in 1925.
The number of accidents at highway
grade crossings during the first six
months in 1880 was reduction of 337
compared with the same period last
year, while there also was reduction
Of 1873 In the number of fatalities COM
pared with the first six months of 1929.
The number of persons injured in the
first six months of this year was a re-

Everything Is being done by the rail-
roads to bring about the highest degree
OF safety possible at highway grade
crossings, $28,445, $50 having been spent
in 1929 by the rail carriers alone to
protect human life at such crossings.
OF that amount, $25,113,33S was spent
for the separation of grades, while
$5S9,941 was spent for the abandon
ment or removal of highway grade
crossings. In addition, the railroads
during the past year spent s2,742, 40l
for the purchase and installation Of
mechanical and other devices designed
to warn motorists of approaching trains
and for gates, signs and other things
intended to bring about increased
safety at highway grade crossings
The railroads have also for some
years been conducting an intensive cam
paign in an effort to impress upon the
public the necessity for the greatest
care possible being exercised In passing
over highway grade crossings.

BECOMING HOT
Chase Lauds Party in Keynote Speech
Which He Scored in 1920
as TraitOrOus.
By HENRY G. TEIGAN

Farmer-Labor candidates were for
the most part in southern Minnesota
last week.
Olson, Arens and Matt Fitzpatrick,
nominee for congress in the First dis
trict, will speak at other points in
the First district during the latter
part of this week. Mr.. Lundeen spoke
in the southern part of the state dur
ing the early part of this week and is
now making a tour of the Ninth con-
gressional DISTRICT
Everywhere the Farmer-Laborites
are being greeted with large and en-
thusiastic crowds. There is obvious
ly a rising Farmer-Labor tide as the
voters become more and more con-
scious of the election approaching and
that a decision has to be made be-
tween the G. o. P. and the FL. P.
Johnson Committee Active.
The Defeat Matson committee OF
Minneapolis, is extending its organi-
cation into all parts of the city and
are unanimous in giving support to
Elmer Gottfried Johnson, Matson's
Farmer-Labor opponent. 1t is doubt
full whether any voters have been
more enthusiastically back of a can
didate than these Minneapolis bust
ness men are back of Johnson. They
are not merely going to canvas Min
neapolis in behalf of the Farmer-La-
Dor candidate but are going to put
speakers into the rural sections tC
plead their cause in favor of track
depression and the candidacy of Ell
mer G. Johnson.
Now and Then.
Ray p Chase in his keynote ad.
dress, praised the Farmer-Labor par
ty of ten years ago. "Once it repre-.
scented a splendid band of men anG
women" he said. To-day, the Farm.
er-Labor party is only the husk of the
Farmer-Labor party. Then it was
aggressively progressive. Now in its
platform there is little that is worthy
less that is progressive, little that is
honest and nothing that is sincere"
Mr. Chase referred to the present
leaders of the Farmer-Labor party as
political pirates" who "are attempt
ing to scrap the life-giving principles
of the party and make a job-huntins
band-wagon out of its corpse"
Even Republicans have expressed
establishment at Mr.. Chase's utterance
in regard to the Farmer-Labor party
and its present leadership. What nat
urally strikes all folks as a BIZ
strange is that the present G. o. P
nominee should laud the FL. P. Of
192O-the very organization which he
in that year designated as traitorous
and disloyal. On this point, it is in
teresting to quote what Mr.. Chase
stated in speech in Northeast Min
neapolis in the year 1920 and which
