Architect Cites Great Problem
That Is Now Facing Auto Designer

frowsy old trump. The danger is
that the automobile is going to be over
done"
Mr.. Hoods warning Is timely in this
day OF extremes and mass folloW-the-
vogue tendency, when the bizarre, the
grotesque, the striking Is regarded as
modern" and the art of the past is
considered passe. True art Is a matter
of proportion and relation OF lines, of
harmony OF colors and proportion OF
color values, and of suitability of de-
sign to the utility of an article. For
tunately the designs that are most
suitable as regards utility, efficiency
and comfort are also most artistic.
Esthetic taste varies from period to
period because of mass psychology, but
remains constant over the centuries.
The "horSeless carriage" design of 80
years ago was inappropriate to a me-
chanically propelled vehicle of 10 times
horse speed, hence the ridiculous ap-
pearance of those early vehicles. Pam
hard forgot horse-drawn vehicles, started
with q clean sheet and produced the ar
rangement of parts. each best for It's
purpose, that has become almost uni
versal today. Out of this arrangement
has developed the practical, comfortable,
fast and handsome motor car OF today.

AMERICANS CATER
TO FOREIGN WHIMS
Cars Not Painted Green in Persia
and Arabia-Color Is
H&i Sacred.

Green is not used in the color scheme
of automobiles in Persia and Arabia, as
IL Is considered sacred, and dark red or
maroon is reserved in Japan for mem
bers of the imperial family, according
to the foreign travel division OF the
American Automobile Association.
It is pointed out that although color
schenes are a matter of personal pref
erence IN the United States, they are
taken more seriously in some foreign
countries and are considered OF great
Importance in many nations.
Basing its statement on facts gathered
by foreign attaches of the Department
of Commerce and its own representa-
tives abroad, the national motoring body
said that the American car predom-
mates throughout the world. due to the
fact that builders have anticipated the
whims of all peoples.
The agency said:
''In hot, moist countries leather up
holstery is desirable as 1t is considered
cooler and fabric deteriorates rapidly.
I'm several countries. notably Great
Britain, its dominiOns and colonies, the
rule Of the road is to the left and the
preference is always for right-hand drive
cars.
"The road clearance of American cars
is satisfactory in most foreign coun-
tries, but in hilly countries or those
where road construction is not so far
advanced, the low clearance Is not
favored
"As the metric system is used in nlany
countries, the speedometer registers in
Hlometers.
CLOSED cars continue to gain in pop
uiarity, but in tropical countries the
open model is still favored
Bright colors are generally received

Don't trust to signals and signs at
grade crossings unless there Is watch

Don't approach a railroad grade
crossing at other than an extremely
low rate of speed.
Don't blow your horn or carry on a
conversation that is liable to drown out
the sound of an approaching train.
Don't shift gears while on the tracks.
If it is an upgrade, change before start

Don't take the chance of running out
of gas on railroad tracks.

UNIQUE AUTOMOBILE
ATTRACTS INTEREST
Car Without Spark Plugs, Carbure'
tor or Magnetic Hailed as Impor-
tant Future Utility.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT-An automobile moto.
without spark plugs, carburetor or mag.
neto at one OF the national automobile
shows attracted considerable attention.
It's inventor predicted 1t would some
day provide the power plant for busses,
trucks and tractors.
While there has been much expert
mentation with Diesel type motors In
the United States and one engineer
already has constructed one for use in
airplanes, Europe has really made more
progress in the development of engines
powered by fuel other than gasoline.
In Europe, excepting in Russia or
Rumania. there is little or no oil and
all gasoline must be imported-at a
cost twice as much as in America.
Motivated perhaps by reasons of
economy, European engineers have de-
voted mere time and effort to the de-
velopment Of Diesel type motors and
synthetic fuels. Then there Is the
"gazogene" systems. At the recent
Salon de LAutomobile no fewer than
flve firms had exhibits of cars powered
by Diesel or semi-DieSel engines.
The "gazogene" systems have been In
use abroad for some time. They burn
wood. coke, coal and almost anything
else that will burn, clean the resultant
gas and supply it to an ordinary gaso-
line motor. The motor. however, usual
ly is larger, for the power produced by
the "gazogene" system is slightly less
than that from gasoline.
The systems, applied mainly to
trucks, are not very popular with pro-
fessional chauffeurS, because they are
dirtier and considerably more trouble
to handle than gasoline systems.

COURT IS WEIGHING
Jury TO DRIVERS
D. c. Motorist Appeals Case
on ReckIeSSneSS Charge
Decided by Judge.

Is a motorist charged with reckless
driving" legally entitled to jury trial?
This question, of interest to every
Washington motorist, is to be definitely
settled by the United States Supreme
Court.
Thomas ]. Keefe, general manager Of
the American Motorists Association,
declares: "It is an admitted and proven
fact that a defendant-motorist invari-
ably can get a more sympathetic hear
ing If he be tried by jury, rather
than by Judge"
A case arose here in the District
where a motorist was charged, con-
victed and sentenced to 80 days in jail
for reckless driving. He demanded a
trial before a jury, which was refused.
On appeal, the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals reversed the Police
Court decision and held that mo-
torist charged with reckless driving
is entitled to jury trial. The Govern
ment appealed to the United States
Supreme Court.
Offense Is Held Petty"
The theory of the Government is
that reckless driving" is only a petty
offense and for that reason does not
come under the constitutional prohibi-
ton of the sixth amendment, guaran-
teeing to every person speedy, public
and impartial jury trial.
Should the United States Supreme
Court hold that reckless driving is a
petty offense, then hundreds of thou
sands of motorists annually will be de-
prived of jury trials" Manager Keefe
points out I'm the District last year
approximately 1000 motorists were
charged with this offenSe. The question
is of utmost concern to Washington
motorists because of the tendencies in
Maryland and Virginia of many road
side courts and 'fining squireS' to be
prosecutor, judge and jury, usually with
disastrous results to the motorists.
'One of the earliest cases, under
which the United States Supreme Court
was called upon to pass upon the queS-
ton of a defendants right to a jury
trial was in 1866. The court en-
phatically declared: IF ideas
can be expressed in words, and Ian
guage has any meaning, the right of
trial by jury, one of the most valuable
in free country, Is preserved to every
one accused Of a crime
A Vague Term.
Reckless driving is a vague and in
definite term and one difficult to de-
fine. What might be considered reck-
less driving by one officer or one judge,
might not be considered reckless driv-
ing by another, or by a jury The de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court settling the question is of in
terest and Importance to every motor

Thoughts that automobile designers
may adyisedly null over for a long
time were expressed by Raymond M
Hood. an eminent architect, recently at
the Detroit section body doyision meet
ing of the Society of Automotive En-
gineers, when he said
Your cars are marvellous looking
machines that so years from now you
will find in the museums exactly as
you find armor, rugs. furniture and
everything else; they are real works OF
art, and it Is because of sincerity OF
attack that you have arrived with such
a result, because you have gone con-
sciously at the building of fine auto
mobile, and unconsciously this spirit
of beauty has arrived in them.
1.-THE real path of beauty is the path
of utility. The art of automobile
design Is one of the highest arts in the
world because you have tackled
your problems SO sincerely and so
simply. You have unconsciously

LITTLE-KN0WN MINERAL
is VITAL TO CAR OWNER
Andalusite, Found in California
Mountains, Is Important in
Spark Plug Industry.

Andalusite, a little-known mineral,
which plays an important part in the
making OF the spark plug, vital in the
automotiVe and aviation industries,
comes mainly from the high attitudes of
the Inyo Mountains of California,
where 1T Is transported in sacks by
burros down steep trail four and one
half miles long to the valley, 5000 feet
below, says the United States Bureau of
Mines, Department of Commerce.
The minerals andalusite, kyanite and
sillimanite differ In physical properties
but have the same chemical compost
ton. Although all three of these Sill
Gates of alumina are employed in indus
try, they are often referred to indis-
criminately as "sillimanite." Another
mineral that is closely related to this
group is dumortierite.
Prehistoric implements made of COM
pact sillimanite are found in Western
Europe and have a certain resemblance
to Jade implements, but the mineral
was named In honor of Benjamin Silli-
man, the elder, who was born in 1873,
states Alice V. Petar, in report just
published by the Bureau of Mines.

CENTRAL HIGHWAYS
OFTEN NEGLECTED.
Half of U. S. Road Money De-
cIared Spent for Local
Traffic.

Although nearly every State IN the
Union has highly efficient State nigh
way department, nearly half OF all road
money is spent through counties and
townships for the improvement OF local
roads, according to E. e. Duffy, high
way educational writer.
Two things are indicated by this sit
uation. Strictly local or farm-to-mar-
ket roads are getting their share, or
more than their share, of financial
attention, and local communities,
charged with the expenditure of two
thirds of a billion dollars annually,
should protect their citizens by guiding
themselves by the activities of the more
efficient State highway departments.
Much Money Poorly Spent.
No one would care to estimate how
much money is poorly spent through
local bodybuilding agencies. Counties
and townships of limited resources cam
not provide themselves with either the
best equipment or men. Their road
funds, so they say, must be spread over
too many miles of highways to permit
nf permanent construction.
Here Is where one of the great prob
iems in local road building enters.
Oftentimes circumstances or politics
prevent those in charge Of road build
ing from concentrating money on one
or two important local roads, but rather
compel the spreading out of the income
over all the roads in the community, re-
gardleSS of their Importance.
In the township and county, az In
the State, the most used roads should
be improved first. If at all possible, they
should be hard-surfaced, for this gives
year-'rou service with a negligible
upkeep cost These main local roads,
perhaps leading into the chief markets,
serve the most traffic, the logical aim OF
any well planned program. Then after
they have been improved, attention can
be directed to feeder roads.
Road Districts Have Helped.
For the most part, the larger the road
building agency the greater the eff
cheney and the better the value re-
ceiVed by taxpayers. In some instances
counties have grouped themselves in
road districts. BY concentrating their
funds on the most Travelled roads
through the larger road body, they
construction and laid more hard-sur-
faced pavementS.
Cameron County, Tex; Vermillion
and Champaign Counties, H.; Kent
County, Md, and many others have dis
covered that the road problem will re-
main problem so long as temporary
road surfaces are permitted. These
counties have capitalized on their
yearly incomes by issuing bonds well
within their resources. PavementS were
built at once with this bond issue money
and now, instead of putting money into
mud holes and ruts, they are retiring
bonds. They're surprised that the rest
OF the world isn't doing the same, for
they have found 1t cheaper and more
satisfactory.

Permits Required in National Parks
Only When State Shares

There are no permits required for

seekers of the finny tribe are allowed
to enjoy the sport without charge.
The National Park Service, however,
has advised that State fishing licenses
are required in those States where ex-
elusive control has not been. ceded to
the Government. In these, the States
collect a fee for a license.
The national motoring body says that
the parks in which State fishing licenses
must be taken out are Yosemite, Sc

Grand Canyon, Acadia, Grand Teton,
Wind Cave, Zion, Bryce Canyon and
