~ developments in hot weather
~ home comforts. the process Of
making the automobile tour
ist cool, calm and contented in Sum-
mer is nearing the first big destina-
ton in the success of American mo-
tor touring, according to Frederick C.
Russell. Indications of this are no.
where more evident than in the ac-
cessory market, where scores of radi-
cally new products are now on display.
After years Of success in taking the
chill out of Winter driving, the ac-
cessory makers have turned their
attention on the subject of taking the
sizzle out Of Summer. Car makers
are nursing along the idea with nu-
merous Improvements in design. one
OF the most conspicuous being the
insulation of bodies so that motor
and outside heat is more effectively
kept from the passengers.
SO significant are the new devel-
opments that the automotiye prophets
are venturing the belief that this
Summer should find touring accom-
plished without many of the usual
dlscomforts. Both driver and car will
profit in this important process.
POLLING radiators, for instance,
will have no place in the we'll
regulated tour. This will be accom-
plished through the use of special
oils which added to the cooling sys-
tenn. serve TO eliminate rust. Some
of the newer models are equipped with
double fan belts which eliminate the
possibility of slippage or breakage.
On some cars the engine oil itself is
kept cool by being passed through
section of the radiator. While this
appears to be merely a fabrication
feature 1t has a direct effect on en-
CINE temperature through enabling
the whole power plant to operate
cooler.
Gas clock" that special annoyance
that tied up so many motorists last
Summer, Will be out of the picture in
the newer cars. There is also hope
for owners Of the older models, be
cause the market offers special at
tachments to check the pre-vaporiz-
ing of the gas lines. Many of the
ideas used in the design of the latest
models can be adapted to the older
ones.
Tire troubles are expected to be
minimized. Not only are tires better
a bic to stand the punishment of high
speed in hot weather. but more peo-
pie will be able to equip with new
rubber owing to low prices. BY keep
ing pressures more accurate there Will
be less injury to side walls. New type
valve caps are available for the pur-
pose not only of maintaining pressure
more constant but of making it easier
to check over the tires. A point not
likely to be considered is the saving

IT is to be hoped that the bumper
situation will receive the imme-

safety engineers. Without proper
protection at the front too many COL

the car. Witness the number of re-

New Devices Promise
Goodness in Motoring
Sizzle to Be Taken Out of Summer, Just a,
Chill Has Been Banished From Experiences
of Travellers in the Winter Season.

In tire trouble this year through better
equalized brakes.
A MOTHER device that will make
engines run cooler and keep the
engine temperature indicator below
the danger line is the valve or top
cylinder oller. 1t is coming into wide
popularity this season. Still another
device is the sort TO remove car
bon through injecting chemicals that
attack the binder. These attachments
will ease the job for the valves and will
check detonation both in low compress
sion engines and in those of the high
compression type which with little
carbon, develop super-knock even
when operated on anti-knock fuel.
Many motorists this season will uss
special valve oils mixed with the gas
ollne. II is preferable TO feed such
oils through special oilers but either
plan is benefit. Because motorists
are taking the advice of their service
men, it is also expected that there Will
be fewer engines running on the wrong
grade Of lubricant Considerable over
heating in the past has been due to the
mistake of using too heavy an oil in
hot weather.
Comfort is everywhere indicated for
the driver himself, and for his passen-
gers. One of the most welcome devices
Is sun and glare visor that can be

that side vents tend to pick up the

special jobs feature ventllators in the

expensive cars it is possible to open I'D
the hood sides for more complete

Electric fans for the closed car are
destined for greater popularity this

lower, 1t is interesting to note that
passengers are better protected from
the exhaust system Gear shifting is
SO easy that it would take a greatly
lrrltated driver to fume and fuss with
this part Of his job when plotting the
car on hot day. The automatic
clutch will save great deal Of physical
energy. Because the car can travel

even on the hottest DAYS.

ESTIMATING INDUSTRIAL NEEDS
WALL Street JournaD


1t has long been the fashion to compare in
dices of present industrial production with those
of 1929 as though that year constituted sort
of roof beyond which gains could not be made.
Or comparisons have been made with 1926, or
some other arbitrarily selected year, which have
left out of calculation the growth of the country
much sounder approach to the business OF
estimating possible production is that Of the
National Industrial Conference Board which in
a recent analysis reduced the question to per
capita production. Thus it is shown that in
1929 manufacturing output was 10.0% ahead OF
the 1923-25 average, on a per capita basis, while
1897 (first eight months) shows a gain of but
17e5 over that year. The Importance of allow
ing for population increase appears from the
fact that if uncompensated production alone were
considered, an increase of ITO the 1923-25
level would be indicated.
The Boards calculations are by no means
complex simply involving they do division
of production figures by population growth
Corporation statisticians in charge Of research
could profitably adopt this method of procedure
when calculating sales forms, quotas, and other
objectives in given consumption At least
the figures derived from this one simple cal
culation will be a step nearer pure accuracy,
especially if the process involves figuring back,
as is frequently the case, using 1929 some
other good year the original point of depar-
ture.

Are We Any
Better Off Today?

That planned economy does not al
ways work out according to the plans is
demonstrated by figures published this
week i'm a national magazine. Dealing
with purchasing power now as against
1888, the article cites figures which are
arresting in their interest to the average
wage-earner whose check goes every week
to the butcher, the baker and the depart
ment store owner.
John T. Flynn, the author, points out
in Golfers that, if your salary is the
same now as in 1888, your purchasing
power is actually 26.5 per cent less.
National income in 1888 was 40 billion
dollars; in 1886 it was GA billion dollars,
or a gain of 81 per cent. That is encour-
aging But the dollar was worth Ga
cents in 1888, and in 1886 it was worth
81 cents, or a gain of sc per cent. That
is not so encouraging.
There may be many factors in the pic
ture, but we firmly believe that business
and industry would bring prices and
wages nearer to parity if business were
not threatened internally and externally,
insecure and unsure of which way to
go. Government planning cannot bring
about equality-that has been demon
strated. 1t seems only fair, now, to al

The People Still Want
A Free Press

Another magazine has gone into the
field of nationwide polls, with interest
ing results. 1t is Fortune, which last
year used such poll to predict the New
Deals landslide election victory. This
time the poll deals with fairness and
freedom of the press, revealing that two
thirds of the people in the United States
believe that the newspapers of the coun-
try, as whole, are fair, and that a great
majority supports freedom of the press.
1t is startling, however, to find that even
a minority favors abrogation of the con-
stitutional rights which guarantee free
press.
Probably the reason lies in misunder
standing. Freedom of the press has be-
come almost catch phrase, associated
in the public mind more with newspapers
and newspaper men than with public af-
fairs Yet freedom of the press is not
merely license for editors; it is more
truthfully safeguard for democracy.
The editor who hides behind the phrase
to publish scandal and border on libel
is disgracing the ethics of his profession.
The other editor is of the type which
has made the United States the worlds
greatest democracy.
That other editor is the one who real
ICES that press freedom is designed not
for his personal satisfaction, but so that
the public may know how its money is
being spent, what its leaders are doing,
where there is corruption in public Of
flee, and how government is functioning.
Freedom of the press was not intend
ed for the benefit of newspapers and the
men who make them-it was intended
for the protection of the public. With
such goal, it will survive long after
many present-day dogmas are dead.
