Automotive Evolution.
Instead of revolution in motor We

ing progress is under way. The les
sons of motorized war are being ap-
piled to motorized peace. The de-
mands of women buyers and driv-
ers, especially for comfort, conven-
fence and style. increasingly are
being met.
Much that was good prewar Is
quite unacceptable now. War
time shortages taught unfOrget-
table lessons in how to make
each pound of metal, gallon of
fuel and cubic inch of combus-
ton space perform mOre-and
more useful--w0rk.
Many potential betterments are
hidden in materials, design, con-
struction. Some were born of
war. Some are prewar in origin,
postwar in achievement. Many are
results of progress in metallurgy
and in other sciences. Not a few
comprise new and better ways
of doing old and necessary things.
A proportion came about through

admit that anything can happen,
and quickly, in the American auto
mobile industry, but insist that
present indications are that for
the new year, and probably the year
thereafter, changes will be largely
by way of improvement in technical
details hidden from the eye.
The engineers who design and
build the vehicles actually are doing
more about the inside than the out
side of the new cars, it is revealed
in a recent survey of design trends
in the industry. Expectations that
reasonably conservative exterior
lines will prevail could be upset
by further development of stream
lining techniques. Even then the al
terations are likely to be more func-
tional than artistic.
However avid the American
people for new cars and how
ever great their interest in pic
lures of radical designs, they're
inclined to be conservative when
it comes to paying price rum
ming into four figures. Four-ig-
ure prices are likely to prevail
unless and until manufa cturers
can put into production "econO-
my cars" which simultaneously
detour high manufa cturing costs
and customer Discrimination seri-
Ously to accept small vehicles.
Motor vehicles are made, not
born. They have to be designed,
built, tested, perfected, mass-pro-
duced, delivered-and at price.
Capital, labor, brains, time, tools,
material and numerous other items,
tangible and intangible, enter into
these complicated machines. Let
some factor, however extraneous,
occasion shortage or delay, and seri-
GUS trouble ensues.
Kilroy Wasn't Here!
Nothing can be more embarrass-
ing on an automobile assembly line
than a missing part or man. Multi
tudinous parts and people are es-
sential to mass production. Non
appearance of just one of them can
upset the benign economics of the
operation, especially when, as cur
rently, costs are long; time, tenn
pers and materials are short.
For all that it is mechanical, the
motor vehicle is peculiarly the prod
uct of people. People design it,
build it, use it. Among them are
those realists, the automotive en-
gineers. Theirs is the responsible
ity for converting practical ideas
into practicable products. They
transform materials which are suit
able into vehicles which work at
costs which people can afford to pay.
The engineers never did expect
postwar economic or scientific mir
acles. At the same time, they didn't

gasoline engine has been about
Is per cent efficient. That is, it ac-
tually used for power-productio
purposes only one quart of every
gallon of gasoline.
This search has been given
renewed emphasis by the war,
and new trends by fuel injec-
ton. Powerplants of planes,
fueled by injection rather than
carburetion, have demonstrated
improved performance charac-
teristics. Adaptation of fuel in
lection to land vehicles comes
naturally, but not easily.
Reduction of vehicle weight long
has intrigued-and annoyed-auto-
motive engineers. The idea is
simple, but achievement is compli-
Gated and difficult.
New Materials.
Not that the engineers have over
looked the possibilities of new ma
terials, nor even greater possibili-
ties from the old.
Engineers are working in
many different fields to improve
motor vehicles. Studies are I'M
der way looking to STANDARDIZED
ton of bumper heights to pre-
vent interlocking and traffic
jams. There is interest in re-
ducing the number of different
sizes of locks and keys per car,
in making keys stronger, locks
work more easily. Under prep
aratiOn are standards for brakes
and for brake-testing. There is
newly developed instrumental
ton for measuring the perform
ance efficiency of fuels.
Engineers are seeking to improve
body hardware, oil filters, radiators.
heaters, coolants, lights, windows.
controls, ignition systems, wiring
and other essentials. Easier start
ing in cold weather, extended knowl-
edge of the processes of combus-
ton, better lubricants and lubri-
cation, increased resistance to cor
rosion-these are merely a few evil
dences of wholesale attempt to
improve the modern motor vehicle.
Problem in Economics.
unacceptable and increasingly
complicated problem in engineering
is that of economy of manufac-
ture. The vehicle which is cheaper
to operate may cost more to pro-
duce. Few buyers, however, will
pay higher first cost in order to
gain greater ultimate economy.
Furthermore, mass production has
conditioned millions of people to the
idea of buying more cars for less
money year by year.
1t is the engineers job to pro-
duce the best possible car from
the most suitable materials at
the lowest possible cost to ev-
erybody. Because of the ire
mendous number of tangibles
and intangibles entering into the
manufacture of motor vehicle,
theirs is no easy task.
Still, in the automobile field, eco
nomics cracks a potent whip, and
when something must be done, ways
and means will be found to do it.
There are those who believe auto
mobile prices will be measured for
a long time in four figures; others
who predict that three-fgure pric-
ing is just around the corner, or
corners.
Experience has demonstrated that
today's engineering impossibility is
likely to be tomorrow's achieve
ment. Engineeringwise, the new
vehicles, whatever they cost, will be
superior to the old. And mass pro-
duction, once it gets rolling again,
could work its economic miracles
once more.

hospital Friday where he had been
a patient since March 26.
Mr.. Teeters was born at Salem,
Ohio, Aug. "a, 1856, a son of Mr..
and Mrs. Elijah Teeters. When II
he went to Yankton, S. D. There, a
year later, he became stage driver
on the Observation-Disclosures
run. He was married at Tyndall,
S. D., in 1886 to Miss Bessie Wynie.
After driving stage for several years,
Mr.. Teeters settled on a farm near

V.f.W. PLANS MOTHERS
.RAD|0CAST FOR SUNDAY

A Mothers day tribute is the
theme of a Veterans of Foreign
Wars program to be broadcast by
station KGHL at 8:45 p. m. Sunday,
May II. The program is sponsored
by Veterans of Foreign Wars post
No. 1884, and the speaker will be
Frank ]. German of Billings.
Everett Crandel, commander of
the V.F.W. post, said the program
will explain how Mothers day start
ed and why it has proved popular
in 43 countries.
"The worlds greatest men have
attributed their successes to their
mothers, Crandel said. "We can
thank heaven that a mothers love
is the one constant influence in tbs
hectic world of ours.
"a mothers love is universal: 1t
is understood and praised by men
of all races, colors and creeds from
the cradle to the grave. Love of
home, country and religion are but
heightened shadows of a mothers
devotion.
"Those are some of the reasons
why it is appropriate and important
that we set aside at least one day
each year on which to eulogize
mothers. 1t would be a far better
tribute if we would put into practice
the essence of motherhood every day
of the year. That would mean
everyone's devotion, vision, under
standing and willingness to see only
the fundamental goodness in all
men,"

An $8,000,000 rail and ballast pro-
gram, one of the largest in 25 years,
has been inaugurated by the North
en Pacific railway for 1947, presi-
dent C. E. Denney has announced.
The program, contingent on avail
ability of steel and labor, provides
for placing 38,250 net tons of new
rail and 950.000 cubic yards of stone
ballast this year as part of the
colnpany's continuing improvement
program, Denney said.
New 131-pound and 115-pound
rail will be laid on 174 miles of main
line and 329 miles of track will
be ballasted. The ballast program
covers all seven divisions and new
rail will be laid on six of the seven
divisions. The ballast is produced
at eight plants located in Mime

Mothers Day Is SO Years Old Here;
Other Countries Long Observed It

Mothers day is officially only 8;
years old in America, but in Mexico
it is a custom which dates back
1000 years.
The Nahuan Mexican Indians cele-
brated it with a flower festival for
the earth mother goddess, Chicome-
huatl. In this country, President
Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mothers
day on May 8, 1914. He asked that
the second Sunday of every May be
set aside as Mothers day and that
government officials and private
citizens observe it by hanging flags
on public buildings and on homes as
national expression of love and
reverence for the mothers of this
country.
The custom of honoring mother,
however, is not new. Even in an
cient times mothers on certain dates
were honored with valuable gifts.
In medieval times, Mothers day
was the Virgins day. Presents of
jewelry were brought to her shrines,
and living mothers also were similar
ly remembered. In medieval Eng
land, Mothers day was called "Moth-
ering day." Presents were handed
out and the custom was termed
Going a-Mothering."
A recent example of a mans ven
Grafton for his mother is that Of
General Chang Kae-shek, who erect
E., a Buddhist shrine in memory of
his mother, where he goes to seek
and guidance.
The thought of having a special
Mothers day in schools and churches
belongs to Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia. The idea came to her
when the superintendent of a Sun
lay school in Virginia asked her 20
arrange a memorial service for her
mother, who had been a leading
spirit in the church during her life
ime.
The idea was swiftly adopted by
schools and churches over the
country, and now is expanded to
include an outward demonstration of
owe and gratitude to mothers by
sift, an act of kindness, words of
appreciation, and letters and cards
rom all members of the family, in
luding those absent from home.
The churches initiated the use of

Begin Exploring For
Oil South or Laurel
Price Domes In Davis Creek and SpringDuck
Creek Areas-May Go To Madison Lime

Two oil rigs, one a rotary and the
other a cable tool outfit, began drill
ling this week on separate structures
of the upland area south of Laurel.
One block of leases is in the Davis
creek district and extends south to
and includes Mosser dome, while the
other is on the Price dome in the
Spring creek and Duck creek areas.
The drilling locations are about five
miles apart. Both outfits are pre-
pared for deeper tests than any
made here in the territory and may
explore the Madison lime.
The rotary rig was set up by
Amick Drilling company, which has
the drilling contract, on land be-
longing to j. H. Mosser. The loca-
ton is in section %, 3 south, "a
east. The equipment was moved
here from Winifred, Mont, where
the company recently completed a
well. The leases were secured by
a Mr. Johnson of Bozeman, who
died recently.
On the Price dome, Anton Kerver
and Riley A. Gwynn of Washington,
D. c., have put their own rig on
the Helene (Wold Leach lease, the
location being in the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter of
section 6, 8 south, Is east. A. B.
Chase of Tulsa, Okla, recently COM
pleted leasing the land on the Price
1ome.
Although the two drilling loca-
ions are separated by a distance of
)nly few miles, oil men claim the
.wo structures have no connection.
