To begin with it ing unlikely that the English ma- chine will ride as easily as the Hartford man's car. It is doubtful that it will develop the power that the locally developed machine has already demonstrated it possess The tires on the English car are smaller, the engine is smaller, prac- tically all proportions of the car, e Special™ is excecd- cept the body, are smaller than Discenza's auto. The English de- signer sacrificed size and strengih to a smal wheelbase. Discenza and Nelson apparently have not done so. The second car to be produced commerelally is even cheaper than the English machine. Tt is design- ed to do away with mprings entire- Iy, Bupporting the weight of the body and the passengers on elastic airplane cord.

These points, apparently. are somewhat of the local man's car. in favor To produce ¥, of course many ‘refinements and changes might have to be made, particular- if the inventor tried to build a sedan on the chassis he has at pros- ent. but these points could undoujt- |edly be worked out. All of these baby Aautomobiles, however, may find that the markoss is not as eager as they suppose, when and if they place sheir mod- |€ls in the field. Tt is doubtful that |oke, telling the average motorist will seriously consider buying a.car that offers so little chance for argument over the right of way. Imagine a timid motorist. in the tiny English car, fn the path of a five fton truck. Imagine his dismay when he sees a limousine, about a block leng, bear- ing down on him. Figure out whether he is going to risk landing somewhere in the néxt county if he is hit by a real automobile, and yon will get some idea of what his men tal reaction is likely to be when he donsiders buying a dwarf auto. Of course there is another side to the argument. Men still ride mo- toreycles, and many of them escaps mutilation and death. The motor- oycle is not as popular as it used to be, but it is still sold. Its factor of safety is probably increased by the fact that it can squeeze through a small hole in traffic, but decreas- ed by its tendency to skid or turn over when its equilibrium is dis- turbed. The motorcycle is special- ized transportation, of course. It a1 and toist because it will not carry sufficient load as comfortably as safely as an automobile. In comparison the motoreycls and the baby auto probably elimi- |nate each other. The man who would buy a dwarf car would not be interested in the motorcycle, most instances. And in the sam~» number of instances, it probably will be found, the man who buys la full sized auto will not be inter- ested in an abbreviated edition of the same mechanism.
