Theo n'sult, however, were un
der the npeclal condition that gov
em all audi affair, and admittedly
nro not attainable by the average
driver, particularly In thn United
State.
Several cam of a popular American
mako competed in tho LoMan teit
for light car, and thilr showing II
luatrate tho progreii made In econ
omlitng fuel. Equipped with the
hanio carbureter aa thn winner that
made Gl mile oft hour, one ran 39
miles on a gallon, and another mado
only 36 mile. '
Tlieno economy' tent, according to
carbureter manufacturer, lauglit
them leixon that will show next year
In improved design, but ao far there
ha been no revolution In engineer
Ing that Is applicable to nntomoblles
In general.
Racing tents, however, give a ml
leading Idea of result, for tho cars.
that then average CO mile ttMhc gal.
Ion operate, normally at about 3C
mile to the gallon. Tho difference
I explained a duo to six facter:
tho ttso of a special gasoline; equip
inent with tho best carbureter: car
buretor adjustment to get a weak
mlxturn that would not servo In or
dinary drhlng: expert driving; per
foct mechanical condition of the car
and special adjustment of tho rubtor
for high compression nnd pronounced
advanco of tho spark. -
Tho reasons for tho hotter result
obtained by French cars oor their
Amorlcan competitors arc attributed
to scvcrnl thlnpi. The American
cars were heavier, and It was math
cmatlcally certain that It would take.
more fuel to drive tho greater weight,
particularly as tho Amorlcan cars
travelled JiO percent faster. Thu
American cam also stood higher from
tho ground and met greater wind re
slsfanco. also tho Amorlcan cars had
much larger motor which turned
over at a much lower speed, so that
greater consumption was Inevitable.
When tho different conditions to
bo met by th'o French and tho Ameri
can manufacturer aro considered, ox
porta do not generally feel that there
Is any remarkable superiority In the
French cir. These differences grow
out of coat of operation and the
temperament of the public. Gasoline
costs nearly twice as much In France
aa In tho United State, and French
makers, therefore, find It profitable
to apond more mouoy to produce at
economical motor. This la done In
sovcral ways, but principally by hav
ing a woll-tinlshed, small motor, with
relatively high compression, turning
over at a high speed. Some small
motors mako 4,000 revolutions por
minute," and French racing car ap
proach 6,000 B. P, M. The French
aro educated to look moro (o gaso
line consumption than to speed and
acceleration. They prefer a small
motor with four speeds, and they aro
content to shift gears constantly so
as to sava gasoline
Amorlcan over hero somotlmes
wouder whether tho higher original
cost of French cars really offsets tho
saving iu gasoline, French cars cor
responding in slto, power, appear
ance and ability to travel cost much
moro than their American rivals.
Amorlcan quantity production ac
counts for much dltforenco In prlco,
although Citrqen, callod the "Ford of
France", by far tho numerical leader
among French cars, still sutlers
greatly when compared with Ameri
can cars lu prlco,
NOT ALL OF TEN
MILLION AUTOIST
ARE GOOD DRIVERS
Tho simple, mechanics of drlvlriK
thn steering, tho manipulation (f
gear-nlilft Invor, pedali nnd bo on
nro eanlly mnntoroil, nnd thero nrn
few In tho United fUnt'-i capablo of
any form of FolMocomotlon who aro
not nhlo to control a car. Hut tho
record of crumpled fentlom, dnmnR
'd lamp and wayside wrecks tells
tho story that not all of thn 10,000,
000 car owners know how to drive,
ny Motor.
From this record let us draw a
fow Instance, sketched from tho
live of carelesA motorists who
thought they could drive, but who
to borrow a saying from another
branch nf sport "didn't know the
gun was loaded." On the front pago
we, find Mr. A. I). See. He was proud
nf hi car's accelerating ability, and
when halted by city traffic he Invar
iably started In second and mm going
20 miles an hour before tno slower
car had got Into motion. One day
ho relaxed his cnatomary vlgllanco
and piled head-on Into the rear of
another car. Flmt result: Two bent
fender and no headlights on hi own
car, plus two sheered spring clips on
tho car ahead, totaling a repair cost
of $42.50. SecotiJ result, arising
from stopping too quickly: Demol
ished rear luggage carrier and tho
total eclipse of tho lights on tho car
which bumped him from behind. Be
cause ho failed to put out his hand
on stopping. Mr. See assumed re
sponsibility for tbe damage to the
over-taking car and It cost him
about 104) merry little dollars to
learn that he didn't know how to
drive.
Next In line comes Mr. I). C. Dee.
Ho was such a good driver that be
could afford to-be careless. He prid
ed himself on .knowing the bump
nnd other peculiarities ot all roads In
IiIr neighborhood. Out one night
after a heavy rain ho was loafing
along at SO miles an hour when his
car bounced In and out of a nolo
which had been raused by undermin
ing water and he Indulged In two new
springs and a rather expensive rear,
axle, assembly. Ho Is now a better
driver than ha was.
Hern wo find Mr. D. E. Eff, to
whom driving had become like second
nature. Ho could dlvido his brain
Into two parts, reserving the one for
guiding thn car around corners,
speeding It up and down hills, avoid
ing bad spots In tho road, and so on;
and utilizing tho other for entertain
ing tho guests.' Ho could laugh and
tell droll stories which provoked his
friend Into gales or merriment. lu
ono day ho glanced around to see
how tho point of n story had been
taken, nnd Just then a telophono polo
"-----------------' -rri" pr,yir "n.n.r.ruTrxqrLViAivu
grew up In what, ho thought was thn
middle of tho road. Ills spirit Is now
motoring down thn long, long trail.
Tho test of a good driver Is not
whither ho I abla to stop, start arid
guldn tho rnr along Hie. road, but
whether ho Is Invariably considerate
of thn mechanism of his own vehicle j still a mennco of thn highway.
nnd nt tho feeling, ercontrtcltles'iind
safety of bit other users of tho road.
If a man drive well In ovary respect
except that he expects all pedosttlsns
to know how Iswalk, all equestrian
to know how to ridn, and all motor
ists to know how to run a cur, ho I
