Tho funCamenltt . t o lclcnoy which Mr,
Kchlmpt falloi to mention In his new
rules, g n n.lo for tho engine. Mr,
Echlmpf evidently fsraot that one of the
requisites lor o Jlrtt claaa motor cur is
the onnlnc. B:h'mpf probably overlooked
r , tho fact that an automoblla Is a vehicle
'"of travel and not tho experiment 'Of a
ctatlonary engineer. The new rules art
very sreclflc on tho breaks of accessories,
with tho exception of tires, but It doesn't
matter If tho cnclne refuses to work, or
nplodcn.i JuM as lojiK ns t)ie paint Isn't
bo latched off the car.
Mr. Fchtimpf open hla attack on the.
wlndehlclil. If lho Klnnq Is cracked 'Or
broken, five pot!. i:ltfrntly that ts 11
litlnoUD otrt;uo, bocauso the breaking
of i framo or rod on y calls for a tbrco-
point penalty. Luotq screws lit the shield
call for two points und a loose bolt calls
for one.
Next Bchlmpf movod upon the lamps.
Ho has provided penalties for ttiy and
overythlng that could poaalbly happen to
n lamp. After careful vxiunlnatloa uf th
ruins It Is a safo bet thai all motorists
who compete unaer" tho new rules will do
no with curs minus lamps.
The honorable ahulrmuu next takes 11
sldo swipe at tho speedometers, Ho start
by nssfMlm; a ten-point penalty for
upocdometcrs which do not TeKlstrr within
twontyflvo per cent accuracy. Even an
Wglit-mllc-uii.hour driver would thrpw
lila anocdamctrr away or tear It off his
car to heavo at tho dealer who sold It
to him It It didn't register within E per
cent accuracy.
A horn that has lost Its toot will clve
sufficient eauso for five marks penalty,
as wCl also a lost horn. Tire racks which
have crapked paint, tops with broken
straps, bodies with loose fenders nil set
penalties and the latest of tho latest of
tho accessories, the self-starter, will draw
twcnty-flvo points If It Is Inoperatlvo
for any rcaotn or other.
Tho book of Jokes complied by the con
test board Is very clever and would do
well for a vaudovltle monologlst, liven as
reading matter It creates fits of launhtor
which almost demand tho services of
physician to stop. If the board would

Takes Public Fancy
A good example of how Uie public will
pick an attractive word out of the body

manufacturer to christen his article, has
Just been pointed out in- the case ot
Diamond tires.
Diamond tires have been advertised with
tho explanation that the tread was built
up on the same principle as! that Ot a
squegee window cleaner, which, as most
people know, when drawn over a win
dow pano wipes tho glass clean. The
adaption of this principle to automobile
tires enabled tho Diamond tires to wlpo
away slush, s'lme, mud pr other sllpperx
road coverings, giving tho treud a solid
grip on the payemont beneath.
Tho touch of human Interest l liken
ing tho tread to a 'Vqueegie ' captured
popular attention. As n insult, dealers

with the squeeze tread.' So It became
a matter of taking on a new name for '

for Inspection of Distant
Cnstasirra.
Something distinctly new In retail mer
chundlzlng has beerf undertaken by the
Rlchman Bros, company, clothing manu
facturers of Cleveland, who have been
usln? for somo tlmo a Peerless six-cylinder
car to carry a showcase -full of Its
product through tho various small towns
of Ohio for tho Inspection of distant cus
tomers. Tho company sells Its product direct
to tho customer without tho assistance
of middlemen and its distribution prob
lem is therefore considerably different
from that of most manufacturers. It Is
difficult to get people to buy clothing
by mail, becauso they can" get so llttlo
Idea fiom a catalogue Of how a suit la
going to look.
So Rlchman Bros, hit upon t'jo idea
of carrying a showcase full of Its gooda
rlghtj to the consumer. It purchased a
Pcocless chassis and had -a body built
along the lines ot a showcase. .Clothing
dummies were set up In this and tho car
dr'lvbn pretty much all over porthorn
Ohio.
Tho vehicle wns kept on display Ih
.ccjppplcuous corners of each, t'own and
isvaccompanled, by a salesmap, 'to talk
up tho proposition to those Who show
interest In the offerlrys displayed,, Tho
scheme, has the advahtagb qf" carrying
to the Inhabitants of the small towns a
section of tho display window of tho
firm's big Btor In Cleveland.
In fact, tho unusual use of a motor
car In this connection gives tho display
cVen greater effectiveness than an or
dinary show window. The volumo of
sales made by the car has been large and
tho purchase of another vehicle for tho
purpose Is contemplated.
