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.
