STUDY SMALL CARS.

And the greatest of all is the actual experimentation of large manufacturers in this country with small cars of foreign design.

Sir William Lotte, noted British automotive expert, is confident.of America's entry into the small car field. And he puts the time within a year.

I can safely predict a new era for American motor cars in the immediate future," he says, and mentioning the small car ho adds, "I think from what I've learned from American manufac turers and engineers that this new type will probably be produced this year."

No less evidence of this tend- ency to the small car may be found than that furnished by the annual Memorial Day racing event at Indianapolis. Beginning with a piston 'displacement of 600 cubic inches in 1911, the sizes of the engines have been trimmed down to 122 cubic inches last year and to only 91 inches this year.

TINY CARS FAST

Yet these tiny cars, last year, showed up botter in speed and general performance than the old lumbering vehicles of former

years.

American highways, traffic conditions and motoring habits. may keep American manufaċ- turers from emulating exactly the Europoons, in sizes of the cars and engines. But Sir Willion bo- lieves the economy and flexibility of the small car will play impart ant parts in the coming American products.

The new small car, he believes, will feature economy without loss of power, greater torque or flexibility, bettor construction, more refinements, lower chassis, eturdier frame, four-wheel brakes, and less cost.

SIGNALS AND MOTORISTS

"If motorists will give one another the proper signala at the right time, there should be a ro- duction in acofdents," says L. R. Palmer, of the National Safety Council. Many accidents are caused by one driver not knowing what the other motorist going to do
