AVTO OF THE FUTURE What is to lie the future line of development of the motor car? It is a big, .practical question, of inter est to every designer and manufac- i turer, and to every present or pros pective user of an automobile. William B. Stout, woo has won , distinction as an aircraft engineer, gives some illuminating suggestions based on aircraft lessons learned dur ing the war. The motor car of the 'uture, he says, should have thes general characteristics: It should be a closed car, carrying five paaengers, and weighing only about 900 pounds, with a small en gine of si x or more cylinders, giv ing SO to 40 miles on a gallon of gasoline, riding more easily than the present heavy-weight cars, and costing no more than any present ear of equal pasenger capacity and performance. These are not at al impossible "1UIKISS" The veto of the daylight saving bill has railed public attention once more to a subject that has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of the plan in question. It is the sub ject of legislative "riders." The daylight-repeal provision was made an appendage to the agricul tural appropriation bill. When the president, therefore, decided to veto the appendage, the only way he could do it was to veto the entire bill. A9 a result, many agricultural department activities were tempor arily in distress for -lack of funds. Whether the president, was right or wrong in this veto Is another question. The obvious fai t is that if this important daylight provision had been Incorporated -in a separate bill, standing by Itself as It should, it could have been considered on Its own merits, and the appropriation bill would have gone through un complicated, and unscathed.

Weight may he eliminated In many parts of the car by a more general substitution of wood for steel. Airplane construction, he holds, has proved the superiority of wood for maliy purposes, because of its combined strength and elasticity. Such a car. he says, will not only be fairly cheap in first cost and won derfully economical to run. but it can he taken care of by the owner with little effort and little skill. The oiling will be almost wholy automa tic, and there wil Ibe no grease cups or unluhricated joints. The outside design will be such that it can be kept clean by a minimum of -washing. It all sounds too good to 'be true. A million automobile users will sigh, "Bring us such a car." Maybe the experts will really produce It before long. important bills?
