Whether these codes are law is a
fine question. The answer is deter
mined, in some part, by who writes
the codes. This is not legal way
of putting it. but to state it this way
will help toward clarity for the nom
legal reader.
In any industry group Of the
leading members come together or are
called together. In many cases they
are already together in the form of
a trade association" of some kind,
that arose before N. R. A. These
leaders of the industry write a code
I think there is no question that the
original draft of each code Is written
by a committee of leaders of the in

NOTHING makes people want to
buy cars more than the next
door neighbor.
There are only three things about
an automobile that can change enough
to affect its riding qualities unfsvor-
ably, but when the average owner
observes that her car isn't riding ms
well as 1t did originally, she has q
habit Of overlooking them. Weight
distribution. wheelbase and design do
not change, SO may be eliminated from
q discussion Of the subject. What do
change. however. are the tires, the
shock absorbers and the springs.
Often a new set Of tires with fresh.
live rubber will be sufficient to Inn
prove riding qualities when they have
gone into a slump. More vital are
the shock absorbers, which may fail to
control spring action because of wear
or insufficient fluid. Finally there are
the springs, which tend to fiatten and
sag. Rearcing the springs is practical,
but it is generally more satisfactory
to install complete new set of springs
Here there is opportunity to make a
car ride better than it did when new
A lot Of money would be saved II
car owners could grasp the idea that
because so many of them wait until
1t is too late for service they ere faced
with the expense of having to pay
for major repairs. When service is
overdue the only alternative is to re-
pair or replace, each more expensive
than lubricating or adjusting SThe
notion persists that II the car Is

ance OF the several lower priced types
brought out By Rome of the leading
producers late last Spring after the
general price increase resulted in a
fall in consumer demand.
These cheaper models we're intro
duced in an effort TO recapture some
Of the demand lost by price increases
and 70 some extent accomplished that
objective, although a general reduc-
ton subsequently was decided upon.
Even we're they to be discontinued
when the various producers put their
1885 lines into production. the variets
Of models manufactured by individual
makers will be greater under present
plans, than heretofore.
Speculate as TO Changes.
While much of the speculation in
automotive circles concerning new
model operations has had to do mainly
with the probable date Of new intro
ductions, there has appeared recently
a tendency to question whether the
principal changes in the 1885 types
are to be confined to body design as
has been generally accepted.
The impression that the 1885 models
would emphasize body design changes
rather than mechanical differences
developed a few weeks ago with the
placing of the industry's initial orders
for tools and dies In so far as could
be learned none of these orders COW
cred equipment needed for changing
the power plant, gear-shifting, brak-
ing or transmission features of the
car.
Those who like to anticipate the
unexpected, however. point out that
about this time last year the word
went out that there would be few
mechencial changes in the new
models, and then independent front
wheel suspension suddenly was an
nounced at the last moment.
That the industry as a whole would
depend solely upon changed appear
ance to whet consumer interest in
the 1885 cars is regarded In some
quarters Of the trade as highly i'm
probable, although Just what me-
chanical change might be introduced
is not included in present conjectures.
1t is pointed out in these circles,
however, that If one volume pro-
ducer at the last moment decides to
present some radical innovation,
others are more than likely to follow
suit, even at the expense of scrapping
some highly expensive tools and dies.
Such is competition in the automobile
industry.
Seeks Safety Benefactor.
A national search is being con-
Quoted to find the man who first pro-
posed the use of white safety line
down the center of Americas high
ways.
The hunt, now being sponsored
by the B. F. Goodrich Co., was first
started by the Fresno, Calf, Chamber
of Comerce and officials of this group
recently enlisted the cooperation
of the rubber company.
A fitting tribute will be paid the
man who contributed the idea which
made driving safer through its use,
If he can be located and his claim
established.
Extensive investigations have al
ready been made in many States, but
SO far without success. The name of
the ''unsung hero" is still in doubt.
Claimants are requested to write
to the Goodrich company in Akron,
Ohio, or Los Angelo, Calf.

Summer Decline Absent.
Manufacturers say demand for new
cars has not shown the expected Sum
mer decline. Dealers are moving
stocks from their floors In much bet
ter fashion than trade leaders had an
ticlpated.
Dealer stocks are generally low at
this time of year. This enables the
salesrooms and the distributors to con-
duct their midyear inventories easily
and make way for any model changes
In the Fall. This Summer. however,
stocks are low. If for no other reason

Used-car sales are reported to be
holding up well throughout the coun-
try. Dealers. as a rule, are having no
difficulty in getting rid Of well-condi-
tioned used cars.
Unusual stability in selling prices is
revealed in a report issued by the

ton. The report. based on q COM
parison between selling prices as re-
ported In the June issue of the Used
Car Guide and the July issue, shows
an actual increase in the average SELL
ing price Of all used cars.
Great Variety of Models.
The buyer of 1885 motor cars-cars
that will begin making their 77ear-
ance sometime after September will
have a greater variety of models to
choose from than at any time since
the exigencies of competition curtailed
the field. according to Associated
Press. reports.
This does not mean the industry is
going in for anything resembling un-
restrained production; If anything, the
exact opposite will be the industry's
policy. The increasing number of
types to choose from will come from
the fact that additional producers who
heretofore confined their operations
TO the higher-price field will have
cars on the market to compete for
business that has drifted to the lower
price brackets.
The lower-priced model that one
quality producer has been working on

PLEASE PASS THE WHEAT

PLEASE PASS THE WHEAT
 A correspondent writing from the great wheat belt says he bought a bushel of wheat at the mill the other day for $1.50. This wheat was cleaned ready for grinding. Correspondent thinks the American people are passing up a good thing in not using natures finest food. Since it is not practic- able to eat hard wheat. ..
 What do you mean not practic- able? A good chew or hard wheat is delightful if you have teeth that can stand it. I have, but then, l know more than most of you cred ulous folk do about how to con- serve good teeth. You put your faith in brushes and dentifrices, I put mine in food.
 Well, to return to the bushe1 of wheat. Once you've lugged it home what are you going to do with 1t! It would take years to consume it all by chewing as gum. Let the cor respondent tell how he uses it.:
 You give the impression that hard wheat may be cracked in a coffee mill, and that is so. But may I suggest how we prepare 1t at our house. Put such quantity as desir- ed-not too much, for it swells in cooking-in water and boil for five minutes. Then let it stand for from 12 to "A hours. After this pro- longed soaking boil again on mod crate fire till soft as desired. The first boiling is to prevent fermen- .tation.
 Keep it in ice box, and heat up as required. It will be found one of the finest, most palatable and healthful breakfast foods in the world. It costs little. A bushel of wheat as people usually buy it, costs from $35 to $40. submit that what they buy is not as good as the natural wheat.
 One reader says he cooks his wheat 30 minutes, and still it tastes raw. Why the obsession against the tase of raw wheat? Get the ha- bit of chewing few grains of it as gum and you'll learn to like it.. But many cook unground wheat from two to three hours in double boiler, so if the reader wishes to remove all raw taste that is one way to do it.
 Never mind the occasional bugs, larvae or worms any such cereal or cereal product it likely to show now and again. The purest cereal will sometimes become 'webby" or "wormy' on standaing, from hatch ing of minute eggs of the miller or beetle deposited on or in the kernal in the field. Cooking kills any such life. Ii you eat the bugs raw, no harm done. You've prob ably eaten lots of them when you weren't looking.

when the chief pride of countries is in their juster distribution of wealth and opportunity, lesser crime, more efficient politics, rich- CT and more universal education, then patriotism will be what it should be. True patriotism would abolish war; present day national istic patriotism is the chief cause of war.

There is some evidence that the Jewish race thrives better in cities than the Gentle races do; the cause as- signed being that they have dwett chiefly in cities for so many cen- turies that the unadaptable breeds have been weede dout. The Chinese also have been crowded so many centuries in populous centers that they apparently keep better health and maintain high CT birth rate amid city conditions than most other races. again due to the survival of the best adapt ed.
