DETROIT, March 2s.-The reason
why body style in automobiles is going
mcdernistic like skyscraper architec-
tllre, magazine covers, wornen's FASH
ions and numerous other things was
given here this week to the men who
design and build the cars. The man
who gave the reason Is one of the chief
opponents of the changing form. He
was Walter Dorwin league, noted de-
Signer, whose talent already has been
applied to cameras, certain household
appliances, and to the style of one
1881 car. His message was delivered to
the Detroit section. Society Of Automo-
tive Engineers, with whom he was O

industrial Revolution.
Mr.. league believes that change In
form on the artistic side is part of an
industrial revolution which brought
with it readjustment and disturbance
of business conditions, but that the
larger part CT 1t has been accomplished
His argument Is that the new order
Of things is bringing beauty out Of ma
terialS at hand. With that end in view,
modern art is shedding the useless gadg-
cts and supernuities that 1t used to
exemplify in favor of the straight, hard
and direct lines Of simplicity.
AS to the automobile, Mr.. leagues
view is that 1t has been slower to de-
velop because of an unfortunate par
entage" BY this he meant that evo-
luton from the horse and buggy" days
had left the marks of that period on
motor cars In the present trend. he
pointed out, the engineers. by adopting
streamlines. have copied from aircraft,
in which streanllining IL an essential, to
cut down wind resistance and conserve
power.
Similarity Traced.
BY a series Of pictures, Mr. league
illustrated his point. He traced the
similarity of line In skyseraper, factory
building construction, airplanes, racing
cars particularly the "Bluebird II" Of
Sir Malcolm Campbell, British speed
record holder, and the Golden Arrow"
that the late Sir Henry Segrave drove) i,
perfume bottles, vanity cases and feni-
nine fashions in dress.
Beside these he placed profile view
of the Marmon "16." This design, pro-
duced by himself, Mr.. league cited ss
in accord with modern development. Its
simplicity of line and curve, he pointed
out, was called for by progress which
has led the engineers to build with the
requirements Of greater power and
speed as essential. One was the prac-
tical reflection of the other applied in
a practical manner, and as complete
departure from forms of the past.

Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

Cars often reflect their owners char
acter, which explains why so many OF
them are equipped with two horns.
Women who buy cars from progress
sive New York dealer are instructed in
the art Of driving without the embar-
rassment OF actual traffic. The instruc-
ton car Is raised on Jacks. with the en-
CINE rotated by an electric motor. Just
ahead OF the car stands post with
working traffic lights that give the i'm
preston of realism Women who have
tried this plan say that they find It
surprisingly easy to master the gears.
Fortunately. however, the transmits
sion Is getting to be one Of the easiest
controls to handle on some Of the latest
cars.
In driving keep your left foot on the
floor and not on the clutch pedal. Not
only does 1t injure the clutch to ride
the pedal. but you may press the pedal
down too soon when stopping. 1t pays
to let the engine help with some of the
braking for certain kinds of deceler-
alton.
A woman has written me to say that
her optician advises against having
non-shattering glass in her new car.
He claims such glass turns yellow and
that miladys eyes viii suffer as q con-
sequence.
The optician needs his glasses
changed. There Is evidence of acute
astigmatism. Some of the earlier safety
glass used for windshields on one of the
low-priced cars discolored in the sun,
but that is water over the dam. To-
days safety glass offers no such obiec-
ton. The world progresses.
And, incidentally, let's call it nom
scattering glass. It does shatter Strike
it with hammer and it goes into hun
dreds of pieces. But they stay together
and do not ny. That's where the fac
tor Of safety enters.
With the various kinds Of motor
heaters available there Is no reason
why any woman whose garage is
equipped with an electric light socket
should put up with starting difficulties.
A car equipped with such heater
needs merely to be plugged in" a few
minutes before starting out. The
heated water in the cooling system
makes starting as easy as in the Sum-
mer.
One of the first things o woman is
cautioned against when first learning
to drive Is to avoid the many mistakes
made by the supposedly more expert
enced sex. Thus when o gentleman
started walking for few days to get
over the effects Of bad skid" new

CANADA TRIPLES AUTO
OWNERSHIP SINCE 1920
Dominion Now Ranks Third

Motor Car Output.

MONTREAL, Quebec. - Automobile
ownership in Canada has tripled since
1920, according to bulletin issued here
by the Department Of Immigration and
Colonization of the Canadian Pacific
Railway.
There were 1,239,s89 motor cars reg
istered in the Dominion at the begin
ming Of 1884," says the bulletin, "com-
pared with only 407,064 In 1920. Cam
ada now ranks second only to the United
States in the per capita ownership of
automobiles. The Dominion's average
Is one car to every eight persons,
whereas that of the United States Is
one automobile to every as persons.

/ bridge connects upper New York
City with New Jersey.
The road builders charged with
placing the pavement will use, in
accordance with contract de-
mands, scientific methods that
will assure ,bumpleSS motoring,
freedom from skidding, low main
tenance and a durable bridge floor
Although the surface of ordi-
nary concrete pavement is re-
garded as being practically skid
proof, complete safety from skid
ding on the Hudson River Bridge
will be assured, for a broom will
be drawn traverSely across the
newly laid concrete. The slightly
roughened surface will give eX-
cellent traction for high-speed
traffic, but will not alter riding
! SmoothneSS.
Nowadays concrete makers can
determine how strong they wish
the concrete to be, and then de-
sign a mixture that will closely
tally. The concrete for this bridge
floor is to have a strength at %
days of 1000 pounds per square
inch.
Consideration of Strength.
The builders will use the water
cement ratio principle of concrete
making which was recently dis
covered. This principle has to do
with the fact that the amount of
water used in mixing the concrete
very largely determines its
strength. BY controlling the
amount of water used, and con-
sidering the consistency of the
concrete mixture in regard to its
placement, the strength of the
concrete can be quite accurately
predetermined. In the case of the
Hudson River Bridge the required
strength will be obtained by using
five and three-fourthS gallons OF
water for each sack of cement
The scientific procedure will 60
even further with the water con-
tent of the sand taken into con-
sideration.
Because of the stiffness of this
concrete mixture particular atten-
ton will be devoted to it's place
ment on the bridge floor, so that
all hooks and crannies will be
filled. Novel mechanical methods
will be used which will take the
place of tanping, made impracti-
cal by the network Of steel rein
forcing.
The bridge floor will consist of
4,780 feet of pavement laid In two
strips, each % feet inches wide.
Later, when traffic warrants, the
30-foot center section of the
bridge will be paved, giving a
total of eight traffic lanes. Four
teen thousand square yards of
concrete will go into bridge side
walks. Altogether some 100000
pounds of steel will be used for
reinforcing.
Plans are being made by New
Jersey for the construction Of an
amazing concrete approach to the
bridge-an approach of three
decks and 350-foot wide traffic
distributing plaza.

HOOVER KEEPS
GRIP ON N. Y.
BY COMPROMISE
Emerges From Party Crisis
With Prestige UnruffIed
Over Appointment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Presi-
dent Hoover has emerged from a
political crisis in New York with his
party leadership there apparently
more secure than before.
A long and bitter conflict over
appointment of a successor to
Charles II. Tuttle as district attor-
ney in New York will be ended to-
day when Mr.. Hoover submits to
the senate the name of George q.
Medalie as a compromise nominee.
The post has been vacant six
months with the factions unable to
agree.
Most OF the Hoover leaders and
the regular Republicans are molli-
fed, although each wanted its own
candidate so strongly that a party
split seemed inevitable for q time.
The original Hoover wing wanted
Alan Fox, while the other faction
was as strenuously active in behalf
OF its candidate, Keyes Winter.
Handled Matter Personally
The fight had developed to a
point where threats of political
reprisals we're being made against
the President, unless he chose to
side with one faction or the other.
Such a split would have been con-
sidered serious to Mr.. Hoovers
chances of denomination in 1882.
For not only does New York con-
troll ninety-six delegates to the
party's national convention, but its
leaders have strong influence else
where.
Realizing the Importance of the
matter, the President handled the
situation personally.
Speaker Longworth Of the house
held the drought relief bill, figura-
lively, in his pocket today to fore
stall any action by those who, con-
trary to administration wishes, seek
TO include in it a provision for food
loans.
Filibuster Threats Heard
Longworth plans to hold the bill
possibly for several days, and then
permit it to come up in such way
his forces may defeat the senate
proposal TO add $15,000,00O for food
loans.
While the measure is being bot
tied up temporarily in the house
there continued to come from the
senate threats of filibuster unless
the food loan provision is included

After study of voluminous evil
