Other manufacturers face this same problem and it appears safe to prophesy that much will be ac complished to . meet the demand created by our rapidly growing road system the problem of eco- sustained high-speed driving."

In the meantime, workmen under the di rection of the Grahams have been busily "engaged enlarging the plant and preparing for Installa tion of modern' machinery for the manufacture of custom automo bile bodies en a quantity basis. 6 The move is further assurance that'The Grahams are actively pursuing- their -previously announced plans to make-the Paige company one of the leaders in the industry "Shortly after entering into the original contract by which we lat er gained control of the Paige-De troit Motor Car company, we took advantage of the opportunity to purchase the. Wayne Body plant at a very fair figure," Robert C. Graham, speaking for the broth ers, eaia. - "At that time we announced that we would proceed Immediate ly to remodel the plant and install the machinery and personnel nec essary to make It a thoroughly modern body plant and turn It over to the company at the exact figure at which we purchased it, plus the cost of Improvements during the intervening period. We Nhave followed out this" program aad the body plant is now a part of the Paige company, giving the motor company a new branch which cannot but prove an asset to It." The Wayne plant, acquired by the Grahams from the Wayne Body corporation, was built by Harroun Motors and recently was appraised at $1,250,000. The original plant affords 200.000 square feet of floor space and an addition of 40,000 square feet Is under construction. The site em braces 40 acres, 30 minutes by motor from the Paige-Detroit plant. It is just west of the Wayne city limits on Michigan avenue, giving a wide thorough fare Into Detroit for motor trans it T; Main lines of the Michigan Losiral and Pere Marquette entef the grounds over switch connec Hons to the loading platforms. Both the plant and its surround ings are unusually attractive to labor; The - plant is of the ay- daylight type and is equipped with -. modern sprinkler system throughout. The town of Wayns affords a fine community center for the employes, with workmen's homes well above the average, be ing neat and roomy and having plenty of garden space Capacity production at the body plant, with a force of 1,000 skill ed men, is expected to be reached during the fall of this year. L q p ' " r " jji tiBj1 ji EXTENSION SDUOHT International Association of Automobile Manufacturers Meets welding ih'hines to form a single piece and the completed joints are so perfect as to present a clean. smooth, unbroken surface. While it is quite general prac tice in automobile body building to leave seams which show as such in the finished body and at other plains to cover" seams with metal mouldings there are no applied mouldings and no open seams in the Dodge Brothers 'Six' bodies. Kven where the metal of the wind shield pillar is joined to the metal of the cowl the welded joint is invisible. The channels in which the win dow glasses slide, instead of being constructed of ordinary cotton felt, are made of rubber lined with wool felt. The body hardware is of the best, carefully selected to harmonize with all details of in terior trim. Genuine hair pads of excep tional quality are used over the upholstery springs. The fine mo hair or broadcloth is so tacked to the cushion and seat back frames that tb.e'-tacks are entirely con cealed without the use of bindings a practice rarely found except in custom built jobs." Senator Copeland Joins Opponents of Auto Tax WASHINGTON Senator Loyal S. Copeland (Dem.. N. Y.), is the latest recruit to the growing forc es in favor of repeal of the 3 per cent automotive tax. In a statement discussing the tax outlook at the forthcoming session of congress in December, Senator Copeland said he not only favored elimination of the auto motive levy but also abolition of all nuisance taxes and the reduc tion of corporation taxes from 13 to 10 per cent. He declared that reduction of these taxes would save the tax payers of the country approxi mately $400,000,000 annually. A world-wide campaign to ex tend the use of highway transport in all countries is one outcome of the annual meeting of the interna tional association of automobile manufacturers at Paris, June 18 (Bureau Permanent International des Constructeurs d'Automobiles) which has its headquarters in that city. The meeting was attended by delegates representing all mo tor car manufacturing countries. A new committee to be known as the world motor transport com mittee was appointed for the pur pose of studying and developing plans for this campaign. It is headed by Roy D. Chapin, presi dent of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and chair man of the board of thp Hudson Motor Car company of Detroit. Associated with him in this work will be Baron Petiet, presi dent of the Chambre Syndicate des Qonstructeurs d'Automobiles of France; Dr. tieorge Hanei. sec-H retary of the Austrian. Automobile Manufacturers association and Ai- i fred Hacking, secretary of the So ciety of Motor Manufacturers and Traders of Great, Britain. A complete;, survey of world and efforts' directed toward forth ering motor car, bus and truck use to the; added ' efficiency of the countries of the world. , It is known that Improved high Ways and more motor transport are needed in many parts of the world and it will be the aim of the new World Motor Transport com mittee to aid in supplying data that will provide a better knowl edge of how they can be obtained. Mr. Chapin possesses unusual qualifications for the task in hand. For years prior to his election as president he was chairman of the highways committee of the N. A. C. C. and an active leader in pro moting the cause of good roads in this country. Being well acquaint ed with the problems to be met by those contemplating road improve ment and their financing be will be able to effectively direct the committee work. Other N. A. C. C. officials rep resenting the American automo bile industry at the Paris meeting included John N. Willys, chairman of the foreign trade committee; Windsor T. White, vice president in charge of bus and truck divi sion and Alfred Reeves, general manager. The American representatives also attended a meeting of the American Automotive club at Paris. Before, their return they will visit Denmark. Norway, Swed en, Germany and England, ad dressing meetings of dealers, bankers, highway commissioners and traffic officials.
