Officials of the Wlllys-pverhnd Pacific Company arranged tho tests which were run off under newspaper supervision, with newspaper representatives acting as timers, starters Low cost Transportation. StarmiCars lean cllles have md a tendenev lo cenirallzo along a llrst oiuiu Inislncs street and later nlniig a few such streets, Few of them are laid out with any eye toward decentralization of tnillic and a reut prohlem lies before American coiuiiiiiiiltles in Ink-loir steps now to lake care of the still greater coining tnillic, Now is not too early to plan for the aicoiMiiiodiillon of Ihe tnillic of 111511. The development or American roads Is Just beginning to reach the point where the fullest use and efficiency of the motor vehicle can be realized.

As our lutcriitimn roads ore Improved, the prohlem of providing 1 y-passes or adequate city avenues ot tralllc for the through transport which will develop in Ihe future, will become more and more pressing nnd its solution more and nioro expensive. Steps takdn now In the planning of the future development of American cities and with an eye on the provision of through transport arteries, will pay big dividends to the next generation. SKID CHAIN BILL FAILS IN COLORADO 1 wJ Li and checkers. The results proved conclusively the ability of the Overland Six to Jo loo yards from a standing and running start In an Incredibly short time. First the englno was paired with Keith Lloyd, ono of California's crack sprinters and a favorite In the 100 yard distance.

The test was held In the Coliseum at San Francisco, and both contenders got away fm a dead start, Tho' runner spurted Into the lead at the pistol shot and gained quite an advantage In tho llrst few yards. Then the Overland Six began to "do Its stuff," overtaking the runner within 75 yards and doing the distance In 9.7 secords. Lloyd was nonplussed thai a car could beat hitn over the century distance, particularly when tho three gear shifts had to he made. Previous to tho test, drivers had taken CHINESE, PERSIANS STUDY AT BARNARD MORE POWER years ago when the Lincoln Highway was laid out across tho continent, motor vehicle traffic was not a problem. Heavy through passenger trufllc; was then foreseen by but a few, and Interuiiian freight was a dream.

But tho founders of the Llnroln Highway, with a vision of tho present tnnrvelot'H development of highway transportation, endeavored to net un example in the routing of the Lincoln Highway by leading It around or near. Instead of through large centers along tho line. This policy, far from meeting with Ihe approval of the authorities or the business men of tho communities near the proJeid route, raised storm ot disapproval. Kvcry community between New York and Han Fra'ncisco near the line, selected for the first transcontinental highway, fought with avidity to have the route marked to follow through Its main streets through the heart of Its downtown district. In later years, as reallnement on the route became possible and the original location was slightly revised here and there in tho process of shortening, many communities originally Incorporated on the route were by-passed, and in each Instance the assoclat lop's board was deluged with protestations, visited by committees, and strongly censured when It held to its original policy of missing every conimunliv possible It Is difficult to estimate to what extent the progress of Improvement on the Lincoln Highway has been delayed In soinu States through Ihe antagonism or apathy developed In certain Influential centers of population because the route did not exactly bisect the business communities of such centers and pass the doors of the business establishments.

It Is interesting to nolo how the passage of years and the development of American highways and highway transport have changed the municipal attitude toward through route construction and allneineiu. There Is hardly a metropolitan center along the Lincoln Highway i.ow which is not making a strenuous effort to provide adequate by-passes for the tremendous volume of travel which It Is now recognized should not bo allowed to add to the growing congestion of busy business strd ts. City planning commissions everywhere are urging the opening and broadening of through arteries traversing the edges rather than the centers of Metropolitan areas. Ainer- the Overland Six over the 100 yarJs in 9 seconds flat from a standing start. Another unique test to demonstrate the flexibility of the Overland Six engine was conducted with a well-known trotting horse or.

tho coast. The race was over a straightaway course for an eighth-mile distance, the horse having a flying start over the Overland Six whose driver had to start the motor, shift all three gears and overtako the flying horse In the soft track. The driver of the car had to accelerate to 29 miles per hour to catch the horse In 660 feet. Detroit, O' 24 The for.)

This Information wan contained in a utatement turned at the company' general offices hern this nfteinoon, which details the romurkablo industrial- Accomplishment effected In producing the Improved Ford cars and which at the same time definitely dispels all factitious rumors regarding Ford production circulated since the new cats were announced. "Less than sixty (Jays after dlscon trnulng Its former style passeliKor cars, tha Ford Moty Company has brought the improed types Into normal production in all Its assembly plants throughout the United Stales," the statement reads. "Because of the many chances and Improvements made in Ford bodies it was necessary to rearrange departments in all assembly plants, install considerable equipment and lengthen paint ovens to permit longer baking and an increase in the number of co.us of paint given cars. This was accomplished and production started In the plants early in September. "Preparations for bringing in the new cars, which entailed the changing to all steel bodies, were begun months back, hut the actual wnr.i of placing cars In production and bringing the output up to the normal average of more than 7.000 a day has sll been accomplished within sixty days.

"The Increase In production together with constantly expanding activities has brought employment In the Ford organization In the United States to a new high figure. At present the number of those employed exceeds 178,000." REO COMPANY TO MAKE CHAIR COACH E. T. Stenersen, manager ot the local branch of the Reo Motor Car Company of New York, stated last week that the latest contribution to commercialized highway travel Is the new Reo chair coach. Designed for uso on long trips, many pleasing features have been planned to Insure the physical comfort and mental relaxation of passengers.

The floor is entirely covered with a heavy carpet, and on either side are six windows artls- tlcally curtained with sunfast drapes. Restful to the eye is the color scheme in two shades of green with which the Interior is decorated. This is carried out on the woodwork, seats and upholstery. Of wicker are the attractive seats where 21 passengers, exclusive of-drtver, may be seated as comfortably as In a drawing room, wjille mirrors on the window posts are an aid to personal comfort. For travel at night there is adequate wiring for electric lights, while ventilators Insure plenty of fresh air in the event that the windows must be closed.

Seamless tubing, connected with the exhaust and running the ejilire length of the car, furnish heat In colder weather. Barnard College has enrolled 9S9 students for the academic year 1925-26, it was announced yesterday by Dean Virginia G. Glldersleeve. This Is the largest registration in Barnard's history and Is an Increase of 63 over last year. The student body, nccording to Miss Glldersleeve.

covers a wider rango than ever, all of the States being represented, In addition to Porto Klco. Foreign students have come to Barnard from China, Finland, Hungary, Italy, France and Persln. Flaborate provision for expansion has Just been completed. The trustees of Barnard, according to the announcement, have named the new $1,000,000 dormitory at 116th st. and Claremont ave.

Hewitt Hall, In honor of the late Ahram S. Hewitt of the Columbia College class of 1842. Mr. Hewitt, a former Mayor of New York, was chairman of the Barnard trustees from 1897 to 1902. The trustees also decided to change the name of Students Hall to Barnard Hall, In honor of the late Frederick A.

P. Barnard, president of Columbia from 1R64 to 1889. Following a resolution passed by the Barnard trustees, tuition fees this term have been raised from $8 to $10 a point, making the average student program $300 a year. Non-skid chains, brakes, horns, lights, mufflers and rear view mirrors for commercial vehicles are the only motorcar accessories recognized by recent laws In the various Stale motor vehiclo codes, nccording ti recent survey. Despite deviations In phraseology, disclosed by the survey, It Is observed that the intent of practically all the legislation on these subjects is In harmony with tho national Iralllc code suggested to legislatures by the Hoover Conference on Street nnd Highway'Safety.

The necessity for standards In braking power for all vehicles Is recognized and covered adequately by Slate codes, as Is the case, with a few exceptions, statutes regulating heud-lighls, tail-lights and mufflers. Several State codes elaborate on the use of the horn, particularly in respect to pedestrians approached from tho rear. Tho rear-view mirror as a safety device on all commercial vehicles, particularly motortrucks, now enjoys olllcial standing and Is also required by the majority of States.

At the Ne.w York Botanlcnl Garden the Bronx Park, hedges, natural woodlands and gardens are shining In red and gold. Hero and there next year's flowers are visible, Fumarhs and Virginia creeper, burning bush and witch hazel are flaunting brilliant lanterns. Foliage Is heavy this year, according to Mrs.

Kll.nbulh i. Hrltton, honorary rurator of the Garden. "The amount of coloration varies with the character of the season and appears to be more dependent on the amount of rain and sunlight than on tho temper iture," she said. Kscaplng destruction by the recent wind storm, which came too early to sweep the outlying areas of their fall colorings, the foliage In tho region about New York lis now at its best. Dr.

ft. K. Stout, Director of the Garden's Laboratories, said. "It is, perhaps, correct to say," declared Dr. Stout, "that nowhere on earth are autumnal colorings better than In the area right around us.

Here' thero Is a wealth of deciduous trees and shrubs that possess pigments which give tho color changes. "If autumnal coloration occurred at rare Intervals, let us say onco In 25 years, we would certainly rcgnrd It as among the most wonderful phenomena of nature. But coming as It does each autumn with regularity, wo are likely to fall into the habit of viewing It as a matter-of-course event. "The color changes now visible to the motorists are associated with the death and fall of leaves. This Is in general a response to the approach of unfavorable conditions, or, as we often state it, a preparation for winter.

"It Is sometimes claimed that heavy frnsls are necessary for the development of autumn colorings. Throughout the more northern States there is usually a heavy killing frost early In September or even in 'August. No doubt such a frost hastens the color changes and the full of leaves. "But here about New York City there is seldom killing frost until late -in October. The foliage of many of our trees, shrubs, and herbs passes through brilliant colors and the leaves fall before there Is a freezing temperature." WraTCHfrCTKIl SAIiF.S.

They enjoy its freedom from throb and rumble in the closed models. Sense of vibration is wiped out by specially-designed insulation of the motor from the frame. Modish Fisher Bodies, planned and built for utmost comfort and roominess, are further cause for Chrysler's wide-spread popularity with men as well as with women a popularity for which even a Chrysler production of 800 cars a day has proved inadequate. Test these distinctive Chrysler Four advantages yourself.

We welcome the opportunity of a demonstration. The nation-wide popularity of this new quality Four is due to the enthusiasm of men and women who say they have never seen its equal for comfort, beauty, ease of handling and performance. These characteristics, so uniquely Chrysler, are the result of the application for the first time of the proved scientific engineering of its famous companion car, the Chrysler Six, fo four-cylinder practice. Linked to this is a degree of manufacturing skill and accuracy found only in Chrysler products. Women who like fine things are captivated by the Chrysler Four beauty of line and coloring, by its restful riding and handling the result of Chrysler-designed spring suspension and pivotal steering, together with balloon tires.
