' 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.

"The automobile already . has
done mjich to spread tout our cit
ies. - Every metropolis today Is
made up of "many small eomun
ities. 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."

months ago it was the talk of the town.

"Detroit has been making
steady gains in its used car sales",
said Mr. Hufstader. "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."
