SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 192S ; Hrlt ' " "" IS?: I- m Have f i ' Is the automobile destined to change the , architecture ' of" -our American cities? . Already, according -to ,VH H. Brooks, general sales u director of the Marmon Motor Car company, there are Indications of tie: radical and amazing changes- eventually to be brought about br'the gasoline-propelled vehicle. - "Chicago's anti-parking t exper lAent, necessitated b7 the conges tion of the loopsays Mr. Brooks, "has placed the downtown merchants of that city face to face with no inconsiderable problem. Business has fallen off because of parking restrictions "and v retail trade has reached out into the outlying neighborhoods': ' " "The great obstacle to -the en in this and other cities Is the op position of the merchants . who maintain their business will be ru ined unless motorists can have ac cess to their establishments.- . If the motorist cannot-park his car while shopping, he will naturally prefer to spend his money at shops more conveniently located,? Bnotild this tendency remain Unchecked the- retail districts of our cities, instead of being concentrated, will spread but oyer a vast territory. The huge department stores will yield gradually to small 'specialty shops and develop more and more into wholesale establishments. i sir v - If .you live westward from Chi cago (even though It be in Thibet, or Africa, or Long Island) then tome day yon may haye the pleas ure or meeting the Knapsack Trio They - are New Yorkers aewa- paper women, authors) and lectur ers who left home tof encircle the globe on foot. When hey reached Chicago, they had actually had to walk Just eight mile.

The Ford Stoat airline gave them a lift from Cleveland to Detroit, and the Graham-Paige Motors Corporation carried them in a special eight their way. The Knapsackers .as they appear in the photo taken "at the Detroit airport, are (left to right) Mary E. Theobald, who lec tures on contemporary drama and the Little Theater; Mary I.

Vi Suburban life has becoe more general and country homes, once accessible only fby rail, are easily reached by motor car." v; Mr. Brooks is inclined - to . be lieve, however, that the suburban expansion has about reached its limit. The motor car, he points out, still has a restricted cruising radius and until tie airplane comes Into more general use, our cities will remain more or less as they are. "Double-decker streets," says Mr. Brooke, "streets such as Wacker drive, Chicago, will be the next radical change in city architecture. The ' lower levels will be 'devoted to heavy traffic, while retail 'commerce will be elevated to an upper level. "But this is only a beginning of what we shall eventually see. In Boston, a department store ris ing twenty odd stories into the air, and occupying an entire block, is being constructed to provide garage space for 5,000 cars in the basement. "The proprietors, of course, will assume a loss on many of the cars parked on their premises, as the owners of these vehicles may I do their shopping elsewhere, and until every large building pro vides such garage space, some body will have to make a sacri fice, j "With the construction of 'set back and tower buildings, the possibilities of ramps, spirallng the structures and leading across to other buildings by means of bridges, loom up in the not dis tant future. "Imaginative artists have thus pictured the metropolis of 1950. nor are their visions of the fu ture city so impractical as .hey might seem. In my opinion, ar chitects would do well to give ser- Jfoue study of the possibilities of bringing the automobile up from the street to the very top3 of our skyscrapers. genuine headway can be made, in the opinion of the AAA. It suggests, as fundamental In the fight, the need for more rig orous city ordinances? stricter su pervision ' of police precincts, op position from honorable legal and medical societies, and exposure of the "bureaus" and "companies" that participate In accident claim collections. Further, . It warns that the motorist and the acci dent victim must be ever on the alert against the depredations of the smooth-talking individual who arrives at the accident scene immediately with an offer to rep resent the injured party. "Ambulance chasing," the statement concludes, "is one of the most deadly blights that has grown up out of the street and highway accident situation. Its extermination is a duty to which honorable agencies and individ uals mu6t turn their attention." When the Victory Six was announced six months ago it was the talk of the town. What would it look like? What would it do? Would it be different from other cars? In what way? And so on. i Then the public saw the Victory Six Its frchnee of design was a revelation.

"until today, from an inventory standpoint. It is one or the best1 points in the country." The districts of Boston, Mem phis and Pittsburgh are listed as from fair to good while those of Denver and Philadelphia are fair. Up to this time, Minneapolis, Mil waukee, Pittsburgh and Denver have been the weak used car spots of the country. During the clos lng week of the first half, how ever, they strengthened consider ably, and now show evidence of finishing the year with fairly good used car sales records. "It has been a long time since the used car situation has been as favorable as that at present," said Mr. Hufstader, "and, we at Dodge Brothers, Inc., have every reason to believe that 1928 will be one of the best years on record."

Ordinary gasoline U refined by heating crude oil to 437 degrees Fahrenheit, and the last 37 degrees of the process extracts the wet, fog particles which cause trouble in your motor.

"In offering two lines of straight-eights in the popular price fields it is apparent that Marmon has struck a keynote of public approval," said H. H. Brooks, Marmon general sales di rector. "As a result, we are en tering into the final half of the year with manufacturing sched ules established to fully meet the public demand for cars with eight-in-line motors which has in creased each month this year."
