· MOTOR NOTES FROM HOME.

[Written for the Hongkong Daily Press.]

The motor car in the East has boooms quite as much a necessary adjunct of civilization as it is in the West. Manufacturers are beginning to realise this, and are turning their attention to the peculiar conditions which the East, and especially the troplos impose. I say "beginning," advisedly, since several yours of experience with motor care, until but a very few months ago, in various parts of Asia. have led me to the conelion that makers in Europe, and the United States particularly, have not realised to the full the differences that be 'twirt East and West in this ns in all other matters.

It will be my business, in these letters, to desi with those asparts of the motor industry, aary- gands both the car, in its manufacture and design, and the varizna moccssories pertaining, which have a special bearing upon the needs of the East, as well as with those points of general news likely to prove most of interest to Eastern readers.

AN ARMY

This question of wood iu car bodies is a mach vexed one with motorists in the East. My own experience led me to think that sheot-steel panels in metal frames are, where possible, preferable to the use of wood-ou account of the ravages which the climate makes even apen the best coachwork.

In the water of painting, whether on wood or metal, there is often left mask to be desired. Many coats of paint, and more of varnish, give a beautiful effect to the new car, and very durable it is, too, given favourable opnditions. Et, utmarket, it is not surprising that apprehension Home, we know to our cost the ways of the careless cleaner and repairer, and the traces their attention a leave on the glossy surface; tho Eastern native is even more heedless, caring little and knowing less how a degenerate outward appearance is often takea as indication of the genora! state of a car whose owner wishes to dispose of it. Manafeazarers might eneily take a lesson from the cycle-maker. By employing cmmel instead of paint for cars-destined for export to the Orient, a greater satisfaction would be given to must customers. There are many excellent air-drying enamels on the market not requiring stove treatment, and if properly used, these will give quite as good an appearance as paint, besides proving more durable.

Wire wheels, also, are a' subject of interest where climatic and other conditions are trying even to the very best wooden wheels of the ordinary pattern. I note that Moers. Tudge Whitworth, Ltd., have now completed their plant for the production of their patent, detach Able wire wheel. Then wheels are made with two sizes of lab shells, the smaller fitting cars with hub bearings not greater in diameter then 41-16 in, or. 103 mm., and the larger, those
