HOFFMAN CITES
LONG TOLL
BY PAUL G. HOFFMAN,
President, the Studebaker Sales
Corporation of America

Corporation of America
Superiority in production meth
ods is generally given credit for
the domination of American mo-
tor cars in the world market. The
greater values made possible oy
mass production have undoubt-
edly contributed substantially to
this result, but sufficient recogni-
ton has not been given. to the
part played by American en-
gineering.
Price alone does not sell motor
cars. Appearance, performance,
safety and comfort also influence
stability. American motor cars
are better looking, safer, more
comfortable and far more beauti-
full in performance than their
foreign rivals.
Defeat Competitors
It is this fact that makes it
possible for American automo-
biles to sweep aside all COM
petitors in open export markets
and to sell in goodly numbers,
even in those countries where eX-
tremely high tariffs protect the
home manufacturers. Those who
want the best in motor cars
patronize America. American mo-
tor cars of medium price are far
more satisfying to drive than the
most expensive, foreign make.
Those who know it best are
Americans who have squandered
thousands of dollars for foreign
labels.
The triumph of American en-
gineering in the motor car field
has not been the result of con-
centration of all good engineers
in the United States. America
has its full complement of great
engineers, but many geniuSeS
have sprouted in foreign soil.
American engineers have had the
inestimable advantage of fine
laboratories, of proving grounds
and of untold millions with
which to carry on their work.
PIOdding, Not Genius
It is a prosaic but none the
less indisputable fact that SO per
cent of engineering progress has
come out of tedious, painStaking
thought and research rather than
from the intermittent flash of
the inventive genius.
Studebaker exemplifies quite |
we'll the backing American motor |
car manufacturers have given |
American engineers. 1t has a
million-dollar research laboratory, |
and a million-dollar proving !
ground and during the past four |
years, more than $5,O0O,000 has
been expended for research. This |
expenditure, directed by one Of |
the finest automotive engineering
groups in the world, has resulted
in the perfection of the straight
eight motor the full power muf-
fler, ball-bearing spring ShackleS,
the carburetor silencer and the
free-wheeling chassis. 1t can be
truly said that the purchaser of
the 1882 Studebaker receives the
benefit of several-million- dollar
investment in engineering.

bt1C dI1oWEI "a
the industry to the depression
At no time has the improvement
in annual new models over those
of the year before been so PRO
Ylounced as in 1882, and 1t is
doubtful whether we will see the
same condition for some years
to come.
A limited two-year market has
keened competition between manI,
facturerS to have the outstand,
ing car at the show. They are
going out after a larger share Of
available business, and they are
doing it by the obvious method
chat is, by offering better, faster
and finer cars this year.
Few other than minor changes
needed to be made in annual
models for the major companies,
during peak years, to keep their
plants and their sales organiza-
tions busy. They got as much
business as they could convent
emily take care of without radi-
cal departures in methods or
radical changes in models. But
we now find the zeSt of competi'
ton back of the efforts of manu-
facturers to draw the attention
Of a larger share of the public
TO their products.
The old phrase "just another
automobile" is not heard this
gear. There is no sameness about
&he new cars. They have in
dividuality and distinctiveness.
They have features the public
wants in a greater array than
the public has yet seen. They
have style and performance ap-
peal which must inevitably Stim-
ulate demand. That in turn
stimulates supply, and all we
need to change the signal light
of business from red to green is
to put our factories to work
building products for a willing
market.
So intimately is the motor car
identified with our entire eco
nomic structure that every pur-
chase of an automobile puts
thousands of hands to work.
ranging from the cotton picker
and the lumberman, the steel
worker and glass blower, and the
railway freight handler to the
parts builder, the mechanic on
the assembly line and the deal
er'S salesman. Every purchase
quickens our economic pulse, and
II we can show a gain in volume
this year over 1881 we will have
advanced by that much from de-
preston days to better times.

1882 Models Go Far
Toward Making 81
Cars Look Old

This years crop Of automo-
biles goes far to make obsolete
1875 models. The new cars
at the show are much different
in appearance. They are lower,
more graceful, have better lines
and embody a number OF i'm
proved mechanical features.
Last year a new automobile
differed little from a 1880
model. But within a month or
two, when the new models
have a chance to get on the
streets and out on the high
ways, motorists will soon real
ize that their old cars really
look their age.

Merging Short Lines.
From the Altoona Mirror.

From the Altoona Mirror
An important development in the way
of an improved and more economical
railroad service is indicated in the an
nouncement by high officials of the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads Of
plans for merging the two railway sys-
TENS operating in South Jersey
1t will result in much better, more
frequent and quicker service for the
patrons to and from the seaside resorts,
which may be said to be the first and
primary consideration, for service is
the function of any railway. On the
other hand, it will result in the elm
inat1on If 1T miles of trackage that
is no longer needed, a reduction in
operating expenses estimated at ST.
100000 a year and the elimination of
approximately 237 grade crossings.
One project that will be carried out,
according to the announcement of the
railroad officials, will be the construc-
ton of respectable Union station at
Atlantic City All visitors to the sea
side resort will be gratif1ed to hear this
Elimination of grade crossings is like
wise good news, wherever carried out
There are a number in that section
that have been regarded as dangerous
and many lives have been lost because
of their existence.
The trend of the times has been to-
ward consolidation of railroads in the
interest of economy and better service
Much time is likely to elapse before any
general plan of merging roads can be
carried out, but in the meantime such
projects as the consolidation of the
PennSy's West Jersey and Seashore line
with the Readings Atlantic City rail-
road need not await such general
mergers.

The Sky Tonight.

II the astronomers happen to be
correct in their predictions, there should
be grand display of celestial pyro-
technics In the sky tonight Between
IL o'clock this evening and dawn
tomorrow the earth should be passing
through the historic swarm of Leonid
meteors, peregrinating particles Of
heavenly debris encountered every
thirty-third year. Collisions are ex-
pected to occur, and the spectacle in
that event ought to be memorable.
But the astronomers are not quite
certain. The Leonids may have disin
tegrated. They have been travelling
around the sun for more than ten CEN
turies, and the wear and tear Of their
1ourneyings must have been consider
able. Last year, when the earth hur-
Eied past an outer fringe Of the swarm,
there was ''an excellent shower" and
more than q hundred shooting stars"
an hour were reported, but something
may have happened during the twelve
months since that exhibition. On the
ether hand. the best show Of the cen

o. re is any show at all. The

professional star gazers viii be up all
night on the chance, and 1t is to be
presumed that there will be numerous
amateurs to keep them company.
The Leonids are worth a good deal
81 trouble. Few, indeed, must be the
men and women of our time who have
not heard from some aged grandparent
the story of the great shower Of No
vember 13, 1888, when the heavens
"rained fire" and many anticipated the
end of the world and acted accordingly.
That celebrated spectacle was just such
a meeting with the Leonid debris as
is expected tonight.
Any Shooting STAR may be a thrill
ing experience. witnessed against the
velvet black depths Of moonless night,
seen but a tiny fraction of a moment,
the innate poetry Of the human soul
responds to the fash and the memory
remains bright through ones whole life
time. Only a speck of cosmic dust,
burning to ashes at contact with the
atmosphere of the earth, the expiring
fire ball" receives the tribute of re-
membrance for the beauty of its death.
With the whole Eastern armament
ablaze with aerolites, as it was SO years
ago, even the most stolid and indif-
ferent creature alive might be justified
in feeling poetical. Ancient man, be-
holding such a scene. was terrorized.
The progress of the race is exemplified
by the fact that modern man has no
fear of that kind. The Jeonids are not
dangerous.

The Atlantic Blue Ribbon.

Great Britain quite evidently has no
intention of surrendering the Blue Rib
bon of the Atlantic. That trophy of
mercantile marine supremacy having
passed two years ago to Germany,
when she commissioned the Bremen
and the Europa, the laurels of the big
herring pond are now challenged by
France with the super-liner Normandie
John Bulls answer to the Normandie,
which in its turn was Frances reply to
the two German greyhounds, is the
announcement that London bankers
have offered to lend enough money to
the Cunard Line for rushing to COM
pletion the two monster ships designed
several years ago to regain the cham
pionship of the Atlantic for Britannia.

to keep the Union Jack flying at the

Americans, who are, OF course, ex-

these mammoths, must contemplate
with keen sense of national chagrin
that this country has nothing but the
pre-war German-built Leviathan to
match against the growing fleet of fast
ships which cross the Atlantic under
British, German, French and italian
flags. Remorse is none the less as Amer
leans realize that 1t is their money

a certain extent. at least, makes it pos
sible for the Old World to indulge in
these maritime luxuries and to keep
them profitably going once they are put
