(AP) ; Not-
withstanding the fact, that "com
' r! petition is Ikoener in the United
" -J States, than ever before, the .mo
; -f tor industry Is probably on the
soundest. basis In Its history
' in the best position In its .history
and In the best position to com
,r. pete for " the markets of the
. -world," ti. O. Smith, chief of the
automotive division of the de
. partment of commerce, says.
- c .'.."There Is every evidence that
" the use and influence of the au-
tomoblle throughout the world
p. will continue to expand In 1929,"
rMr.; Smith said, "and that the
; saturation point mirage, which
H has been worrying some fore
casters, will continue to vanish.
" Saturation Point Remote
2 "Few If any major Industries
have gone as far in eliminating
vfastes, useless expenditures, and
In -bringing the selling price of

material. Fifteen years ago the
if most optimistic forecasters -placed
'I the point of saturation at 'about
4' five million ears. - We now have
jf more than four times that num-
her in service and for the .past
! several years the annual increase
g lias been greater than the total

remote and less evident.
"While we can reasonably ex

greater from now on than In the
United States.
Foreign Market Growing

the handicaps in so many local

taxes and annual payments re

to operate.
i"ln the United States, we arriv
ed at the point some time ago
when the cycle of the use of cars
was completed and new cars must

those which drop out. Up to 10
years ago the annual renewal re
quirements were slight, but sinc
that time they have Increased
enormously each year, which au
tomatically develops a demand
for a like number of cars without
.increasing the registration or the
number of cars In use.
Road Building Helps
"The cars required to replace
the drop-outs In 1929 will ac
count for between 40 and 50 per
cent of the total production and

v jpbm mission during the yei
, WASHINGTON (AP) Re
newed activity of British Interests
to develop an alcohol motor fuel
which could be used in part as
a substitute for gasoline in auto
mobile and airplane engines has
been reported to the department
of commerce by Homer 8. Fox,
American trade commissioner at
London.
One of the principal British
companies interested in the de
velopment of alcohol for motor
fuel. Distillers' company, Ltd.,
has reported Its experiments as
demonstrating that alcohol is
twice as efficient as " benzol to
prevent knocking in an internal
combustion engine. The com
pany has announced the production
of a- dry alcohol, which, through
the nse . of a French process,
makes possible 99 per cent ab
solute alcohol, which may be mix
ed with gasoline In any propor
tion. The Nlpah Distilleries of Ma
laya', Ltd., formed this year for
the punpose of developing alcohol
as a motor fuel In British Malaya,
has purchased a 7.000 gallon al
cohol producing plant from a
London concern for use In Malaya.
Importance of the development
of alcohol as a motor fuel by
Great Britain has been empha
sized by the fact that the British
must depend upon the bulk of
their present motor fuel supplies
from foreign sources.
STEADY
MODERATE
SPEED FOUND BEST
To make the best time, on long
cross-country trips, drive moder
ately and steadily. This method
will eat up the miles- faster than
tremendous bursts of speed fol
lowed by periods of relaxation,
and will also sharply advance the
safety of highway traffic.
' These are the opinions of Wil
liam R. Strickland, assistant chief
engineer of the Cadillac Motor
Car company, based uponhis own
driving experience and observa
tions of Cadillac-LaSalle engin
eers made during many cross
country runs.
"With constant improvement in
motor; ear design and manufac
ture," Mr. Strickland states, "the
best makes of cars today will
stand without injury the stress of
high speed. The rate of travel is
not a matter of what the car can
do. It depends upon the driver's
judgment. But if setting
