It is a well known fact that Am erican engineers from some of our largest manufacturers ; have been spending ; considerable time In England ot late studying the Eur opean small car. Sir William Letts eoverjs this phase of 4 the present condition in hisartiele and ex presses-the opinion that the results of their study will soon be in evi dence of onr doads. ; ' J In practical terns I draw these conclusions from . the article by Sir William Letts: We have a high tax In wasteful use of fuel, if Europe gets 39 miles to the gallon in place of 15 and the saving through this greater mileage would be a tremendously important one. ; I The aggregate mileage ' of all motor cars owned on farms is about 40 billion miles: a year which calls fqr the use of 2 billion of gallons of gasoline a year. At an average cost of 22 cents a gal lon this means a yearly gasoline bill of farm owned cars of about $440,000,000. With the average mllease raised to 30 miles to the gallon the yearly cost would be around $220,000,000 or a direct saving to the farmer of $220,000,- 0OO a year in fuel costs alone. The added mileage from the oil would mean a saving of about $56,000,000 a year giving a total saving of $276,000,000 a year. The European car owners har been compelled to face figures like these because of their hfgher costs for fuel. They have met and solved them with the light, small car. It is not likely that we, here in this country will face a future full! of such heavy costs when there fe such an apparently easy way of cutting them down. This should especially be true of the agricul tural sections where the small car is the great general favorite. It the past performances of our motor car engineers are to be ac-. cepted as indicative of what they may do in the future, it would not be surprising to see a small, light carlof entirely new design before long. If this car is built along European standards,' it will prob ably have a 100 inch wheel base, and a motor f that will develop around, 30 brake horsepower. "But If will afford 'the room which has become associated with American body design. It will be equipped "with four wheel brakes and will he low swung on long springs. And It will approximate the mileage figures in fuel and oil that have been set. by foreign cars. Such an automobile would be a boon to farmers for it would lessen the time spent on the road in trips to town. It would save millions of dollarsvin operating expense and it would be more satisfactory to the women members of the family in appearance and in comfort. In price it, should perhaps ap proximate the figures aet by the present ttay small car even though. it sets -inch' a1" far more satisfac tory' standard of performance In speaking of the probable price. Sir William Letts, who is an -international authority on such matters, says that American pro duction methods i would result In prices weir below thei European prices where cars are built In "lim ited quanties. j The advance word coming from him isto be treated seriously for in his position In the automotive industry he must keep close watch of motor car construc tion and price developments all over the iirorld..
