Fol lowing are the rennons given hy the American Automobile aitHocintion for opposing the enactment of a compul ory insurance law for motorirtta: '1. The weight of Informed opin ion in overwhelmingly on the fide nf ttiono who contend that cmnpulaory inmirniicc would not prevent ncci dentH. Adoption of the principle would be a find, step lending to atate insurance. "M. As a irnfety meamtre compul sory Insurance was voted down by Ihe Hoover conference on atreet and high anfety. "4. Jnaurnneo expertit claim It will tend to increase accidents, pro mote development of irresponsible compnnies and multiply frivolous and excensivH claims, all of which would result in advance of Insurance rntcs. "o. It is impossible to nscertuin how many owners and drivers of automobiles urn Irresponsible or what tho amount of uucompensnted dnin ages nre. But the toll that compul sory Insurance would levy on all mo torists is out of all proportion to uncompensated losses. To guarantee this loss something like .,"(I,(MH),(MH), a compulsory insurance scheme would make the motorists of the country pay additional Insurance amounting to something like $547, 2()0.()(K. i "0. A few careless drivers, prob ably loss than ft per cent of those who use the roads, are responsible for tho great majority of a cell tents. Compulsory insurance would penalize all motorists because of thin small minority." I (Hy NKA Service) NEW YORK, March 7. "The number of automobiles that thia na tion will nse nt one time will tend to be nhout equnl to the number of families in the population." Thus does Leonard I. Ayrea, fam ous Cleveland statistician, set the limit of automobiles in the Cnited Htnte sat about -T.tMKMMM), the num ber of families there are in- the United States. This number will in crease with the increase of popula tion, but not as fast as automobile production hns been increasing. Ay res brought out this point in nn address before the Society of Au-1 tomotive Engineers here. j , Unit of Ownership I '"The nnturnl unit for automobile ownership for the great mass of our people is the faintly' he explained, "jiiHt na that Ib the natural unit for the possession of bathtubs and do mestie telephones, "Included In the 27.000,000 fami lies are thousands that will own more than one automobile, and In ad- dition to them nre commercial and : Industrial . firms that will use many! more - thousnmls.

Production 8tanda In a Class by Itself Chevrolet Line Draws Interest More Interest was aroused by the display of the new Chevrolet line at the New York rfiitomobile show than has been accorded any new car in troduced for more than a decadf. according to veteran automobile men who have been present at the greater majority, if not all. of the 25 national automotive exhibits held in the east ern metropolis. Opinions f both experts and the general public followed the same trend first of admiration and then the puzxled question, "How can the Chevrolet company do it at the price." The exhibit was visited by practically eWry automotive repre sentative present Friday nnd Satur day, the two days referred for the trade, and it proved the mecca for the general public through the eight davs following. The general beauty of the line was most commented upon. The new somi-elliptio springs and longer frame vied with the new lines and roomier bodies in exciting praise. The 1 uco finish in colors for all models was another feature favorably commented upon. In fact the general remarks of show visitors clearly showed that the plain black enameled automobile will not find much favor with the car purchaser of 1025. Chevrolet factories are working day and night to lull capacity to sup ply ine uemanti tor the new cars. If the reception tendered the first showing rtf the line is a criterion. iiesc superior models will smash the high records previously, made. Saturation Theory Is Tapped on Nose The annual bugaboo of saturation gets another knockout wallop, this ttme from Heorge II. Townsend and b. A. Sieberling, both well known in accessory and tire industries. Townsend gives three reasons why there will be no saturation of automobiles. They are: 1. Replacement of used cars re quires 1.050,HKi new cara annually. J. 1 here are always new custo mers. It. The two-car man Is comine into prominence. Sieberling adds there will be no saturation as long as children are born. For every baby is a prospect. i- TRUCK AND BUS TIRE PRODUCED Here is a picture of Robert "Wurr. burg. Jr., standing beside one of the big C. T. C. 30x0 heavy-duty pneu matic casings. This is one of the latest developments made by Robert Wurzburg nnd the engineers who came from eastern tire factories to establish Ihe Columbia Tire corpora tion nt Portland. "This parlicual size tire, the aUjEfl. has alwflyH stood in a class by itself." says Wurzhurg. "It is used altogether on trucks and busses where it invariably is subjected to great ah use and overloaded. We have not made this size until now. because wo wanted to complete an engineer ing study of this particular size based on observations and tests extending over a period of years. In the construction of our heavy duty tires for truck and commercial purposes, wj have placed no limit on I ourselves as to quantity and qualitv of materials. This combined with the most careful hand workmanship and design, wi believe is bound to give satisfaction to those who de mand extreme service from a ens- I inB-" ....

On its second anniversary this company can point to a remark able record perhaps the most re markable of any of the newer com panies. It hts a uistrinunon now. extending throughout the west and , has particularly made great strides! in southern California wiucn is a concentraiton point .for tire competi tion. . .Since C. T. C.'s came on the mar ket, their popularity has been much in evidence as witnessed by the many orange colored tire covers that are seen on the streets and highways. Apparently, the motorist is very friendly towards this new western built tire, which is engineered and produced by a group of the most ex perienced tire men. Everyone con cedes that most of the raw mater ials for tire building can be landed more easily on the west const. Water freight, for instance, from New York to l'urtland, is less than rail rate from New York to Akron. And from a market standpoint, it is said that 30 per cent of the tires produced in this country are used west of the Rockies, whereas only 3 per cent are produced here. It is the avowed intention of Pres ident AVurrburg and his associates not to sell C. T. Cs on a home-Industry appeal. "Our first and only thought is to build the best tire that can possibly be maaufactured. In our group of engineers, we have men who were connected with America's largest tire factories. We were am bitious to put together our exper ience and build out here lu. the west "" unuoons will k, l- Plete lino n.i, . semi-ballnons. h44ui . ,yr" that of 24 y i smaller states.
