gear-shifting needless, designers have
produced clutches that operate with
far less pressure. In some instances,
notably cars Of the higher price group
easy clutch action is the product Of
mounting the pedal on anti-friction
bearings. It costs money, but it has
its appeal.
In the main, there have been few
changes in the power transmission sys-
tenn. Engine relocation has brought
about one Of these. The power plant
has been moved forward in some cars
to position over the front axle, with
the objective Of providing greater body
room without increasing wheel base
This has necessitated the use of longer
propeller shafts and, to compensate for
any tendency Of the longer shaft to
whip, the tubular type has been re-
placed by one that is solid.
One of the most significant chassis
feature changes Is that to be found in
connection with brakes. The power and
speed performance Of the newest models
could not have been improved without
corresponding betterment in stopping
ability. To provide it, designers have
increased brake capacities through the
use of drums Of greater diameter and
increased flange width. Changes in
brake hook-ups among the lower-priced
cars and the incorporation Of vacuum
booster mechanisms in those of the me-
dium and high price group assure
faster and lighter operation of the sys-
tenn. More makes are using hydraulic
brake systems this year. BY whatever
method it is achieved, brake action is
featured by tremendous power, plus vel
vety smoothness.

ingly changed is steering. The element

DESIGNER CHEERED
BY BODY ADVANCES
Spring Says 1884 Wants
First Real Step Toward
Stream|ining.

From the standpoint of body-styling
the year 1884 represents marked step
| in advance Car contours have been
developing rapidly during the past few
years, but the elimination of the trend
in the direction to all curved lines
comes this year. This is the estimate
of Frank S. Spring. engineering special
ist of the Hudson Motor Car Co.
"Harking back to the day of the first
closed body, we note that they were
square and box-like in their character
istics," he says. This seemed the
simplest form to design and build at
own company, for example, there is
not a straight line to be found. The
result is that it has been possible to
evolve a body form with an exceptional
amount of room and yet with a grace
fulness of line that would be impossible
without the use of sweeping curves.
Impression Improved.
"The creation of an impression of
size and massiveness at the front end
of the car and with the contour of
the body swept backward so as to in
close the rear tire or baggage compart-
ment, has been an achievement which
is distinctly in line with the most ad-
vanced trend of body styling. No word
in the dictionary has been abused so
much as 'streamlining For 1884, how
ever we are really beginning to get
actual streamlining of cars.
while even the most radical of the
new cars will not approach the air.
plane fllselage or the gondola of the
dirigible, yet we are fast beginning to
attain something which approaches the
theoretical slip stream type Of line.
At least we are creating bodies which
have a rear end that will create less
fuss in the atmosphere as car speeds
increase.
Popular conception of streamlining
is a shape which cuts the air, whereas
streamlining means much more than
this, and, as a matter of fact, the So
called tail lines are far more i'm
portant than the entrance lines.
Vacuum Is Retarding.
what creates much Of the resistance
in a moving body is the vacuum at
the rear caused by the rush Of the
ing body. A graceful curving sweep at
the rear helps. 1t has been found on
the race track that by simply adding
many miles per hour can be added to
the speed We do not travel in our
passenger cars at speeds sufficiently
high to make this tail a necessity, but
on the theory that generally what is
right looks right, it is certain that the
tapering, or at least curved lines at
the rear of the body are with us to
stay. There will be no trouble in
differentiating 1884 cars from their
predecessors, as the step taken this
year is a real advance"

responsible. Of course. is Independent
Springing. Steering ratios Of 18 to
and 20 to !, which were tried and re-
jected as failing to provide necessary
degree Of steering precision, have been
brought back into service as a result
Of the new method of mounting front
wheels. Ratios Of this order mean ef-
fortress steering at low speeds, as in
parking, and this time without sacrifice
Of positive control at high speed.
Another factor which contributes to
steering ease is the incorporation of
edlebearingS on cross shafts to elm
mate the feeling of "stickiness" which
has been noticeable in some cars in
recent years.
To return now to bodies, interiors
have been almost as radically changed
as exteriors, which, of course, Is more
vanced of the streamlined bodies rep
resent something entirely new in the
way Of body interiors with the rear
seat, as well as the front, located be-
tween the axles, for which greater rid
ing ease Is claimed. In conventional
design, the rear seat Is placed directly
above the axle.
Futuristic Pattern Ii
Evident in Seats.
There is novelty, too, in the design
of the seats themselves in these cars
whit with their futuristic framework of
chromium plated tubing which lifts
them away from the floor and provides
a degree of air circulation altogether
uncommon in this, normally the warm
est part of the car.
Seat cushions Of all cars will be
found to have been made deeper and,
in many, the coil seat springs are of a
lighter gauge to assure more residence

CAUSES OF TROUBLE

Tires are still the leading cause Of
roadside difficulty experienced by mo-
torists. Out of 202 service calls handled
by a Pennsylvania motor club, 23.7 per
cent were for tire changes. Faulty bat
terries accounted for only 1913 per cent
of the total. While the ignition system
does not disable more than II motorists
in this particular check-up, service men
say that the electrical units of the mod
ern car are the cause of most of the in
efficiency, low mileage and loss of pep.

At the Auto Show this year news hawks
report bigger crowds, more enthusiastic

No detail Of the new model has been

SOME STARTLING FACTS

Startling facts have come out in the reports Of
the National Crime Commission and. the National
Department of Justice. There has been, SO these
reports say, ttOa1 of $4,000 murders 5000 kid
napings, $4,000 robberies, 5000 cases of arson,
100000 cases of assaults and 5000 burglaries in
one year in the United States
That seems like pretty large list for country
devoted to life, liberty and the pursuit of happ-
ness, especially when one considers the cost of
these activities, estimated at $4,000, 900 900, in
addition to the toll taken annually by racketeers.
The cost. of the national public school system in
every village, town and city in the land, is only
about ons-third of the nations annual crime Bill.

when they reach Raleigh that necessity compes
them to shift gears into reverse.

WHEN YOUR CHILD SAYS Il
WON'T"

"What am / to do when my.
child defies me, and flatly tells
me 81 won't?" asks a sorely trou-
bled young mother. And if she
goes for counsel to her own mo-
Their, or to some other mother
whose recollections of her days
on the firing line of parenthood
are some what dimmed by the
passing years, she will probably
receive but cold comfort.
81 never allowed my children
to talk that way to me-" is the
far from reassuring response.
"Why, l never heard of a child's
actually defying his mother"
Well, have: and l don't believe
that he is necessarily going
straight to perdition for it, either.
But l should much rather ad-
wise this young mother before
the defiant 81 won't" has come
along. to inject more than its
fair share Of emotional tension
into the situation. Why not
avoid this, instead of trying to
deal with it after it has taken
place?
1t is rather unusual for such
blunt refusal to be made to a
simple request. 1t is usually the
parental command that calls it
forth. WHY not realize that the
adolescent boy and girl can be
led. much more easily than they
can be driven. Why not be cour-
teous even with our own chill
dren?
"That's not a lady,-that's my
wife" is the attitude Of many a
parent toward his children. Yes,
l grieve to admit it, toward cher"
children, too. Let's change that
attitude. Molasses beats. vinegar

purposes.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION:: Dear DR.. Richard
son: You can't iossibly imagine
how wonderful it is to see my
son eat a good meal, without urg-
ing, after almost four years of
anxiety. He even asks for food
between meals, and unheart-of
thing with him. 1t was hard to
follow your instructions to the
letter; but it has certainly paid.
Shall I continue not to feed him
between meals?
ANSWER: I'd stick to anything
that gave such good results.
QUESTION:: How can I cure
myself of habitual. chronic con-
stipatien?
ANSWER: The best cure I
know of, in addition to "a diet
containing plenty of fruits, vege-
tables, and water, is to choose
two definite times a day,-pre-
ferably Immediately after break
