The motorist, whose business or pleasure takes him touring. is begin- ning to note some marked Improve- ments in the method of quartering cars for the night. These improvements are mot all being found fn the larger cities. In- deed, some of the most ingenious garages are in cities which hnve barely escaped the sting of “town.” In one_garage in a little Pennsylvania city, for Instance, the tourist will find an electric 'nllv.torm to take his car directly to any stall in the garage and from which he simply backs up or drives forward, as the case may be. This platform works from two over- head 'trolleys and runs on tracks |which are so inconspicuous that cars may be driven around the garage in the usual way if it 8 not crowded, or in case of fire. The advantage of this moving plat- form is that much less space is re- quired for the driveway portion of the |arage, thus leaving more room for |storage. The motorist simply drives jup on the platform when he enters |the garage and is conducted sideways Ito & space which would ordinarily take him ten minutes to steer into. |The platform stops directly in front |of ‘tne stall, and the driver simply |drtves oft, shuts oft his motor and sets 'his brake, The job s done. | In another small city the ramp ar- rangement seen in one or two large city garages is given a newer twlst. |One-half of the garage s built about ten feet higher than the other, thus |making six floor levels of a three- Story bullding.

Of course, no one expects all these new- comers to be mechanical ‘fans’ like the chaps who motored in the pioneer days, but T'll be hanged if I can see why these new-comers can't at least give their cars an occasional ‘eve in- spection.” “There's a new one—'eye inspec- tion'!
