THE MODERN MOTOR CAR.

MORE THAN AN ENGINE.

The motor car must be more than an engino"

Just so long as they could make 1 car run at all, automobile engineers, a few years ago, felt they had accomplished all that could be expected of them.

No matter how the car locked! no matter how many controls, how many levers, cranks or knobs stuck out in every direction-20 long as the engine could keep the thing moving, the task was ac complished. Grotesque bodies- some like a buggy, others like a coach, some almost like a wagon -were Atted to the chassis, and the first windscreen was an extra accessory!

Soon the engine situation had been conquered; the engines |would keep on running. Engine- ers then had to turn their atten- tion to pleasing appearance, to comfort, convenience of operation, to freeing the driver from a my- raid of tasks so that he, tog, might enjoy the ride.

Many New Conveniences. Within the past year, automo- bile engineers have added con- veniences to care to such a degree that the present day buyer must compare cars, must go over them point by point, if he is to save himself the purchase of accessory equipment; if he "is"to be sure he

Here are some things every car buyer should insist upon in the

ear he buys. They are standard on the New Studebakers, `which are used as an example:

Light control on the steering wheel, for 'safety; automátic spark advance, letting the engine time its own firing; emergency brake lever under the dash, out of the way spherical foot accelera. tor to und foot fatigue; all in- struments grouped under one glass, protected and all readable: at one glance; a one-piece wind- screen with an automatic cleaner.

Open Closed Car Feature. But there are still further con- veniences, as for example: A valve beneath the bonnet, to drain. the crank case without soiling hands; an oil screen inside, Into the centre of which returning oil is druined, 30 sediment won't splash into cylinders. A water- proof ignition system with elec tric wires in metal conduits. And last but not least, an open body which is convertible to an enclosed car by simply lowering roller enclosures at the sides without getting out of the car,

Many of these betterments were introduced within the year. They show the field of activity of modern motor cur builders. Buy- jers of automobiles these days will compare the specifications of any CAN they consider against the foregoing list. With all included; modern business efficiency has
