REAR-ENGINED. STREAMLINED ADTO IN DEBUT ‘Scarab,’ Ultra-Modern in Design and Comfort, Put on Market. B’) r„itrd nrr'M DEARBORN'. Mich., Feb. I—The ••Scarab” first rear-engined car offered for popular consumption in the United States, was mtroduted formally to the American public today. William B. Stout, aerodynamics expert, internationally famous for his and streamlined locomotive designing, announced that he will build 100 “Scarabs” this year. The main theme of the design is removal of the automobile from its classification as a development of the “horseless carriage,” Mr. Stout announced. Running boards, exterior fitted lamps, immovable passenger seats are eliminated. The car has more interior room than any popularly priced car, Mr. Stout claims. Engine noise and odor arc reduced by placing the motor.? in the rear. Shock Greatly Reduced Airplane Landing gear coil springs in large oil cylinders—have been attached to each wheel to reduce shock. The body is suspended like a hammock, with the center of gravity below the points of suspension. to give a pendulum effect and practically eliminate possibility of turning over at corners. The dividing line between body and chassis has been removed. From the outside, the Scarab looks like the classic Egyptian beetle for which it has been named, or like a ground mole. The “nose” slopes down from a point just above the steering wheel to a rounded sharpness just ahead of the front axle. Chairs I'sed Inside The top is rounded longitudinally and horizontally, dropping in the rear to mould around the motor. The sides slope down from the top to the side bumpers—bands of steel encircling the body. Below the body they are drawn in again to give a •slipstream” effect in cross currents. On the Inside, the driver's seat alone is immovable. It can be tilted in any direction for riding comfort, however. Four modernistically designed chairs fill up the space immediately back of the driver's seat. They may be moved about freely, even grouped around a table for bridge games or meals, or may be lined up like passenger seats in more customary automobile designs. The back cushion, directly ahead of a magazine and trinket case, may be moved to a side of the ear and lined up with one of the chairs for a couch. During the two years in which the builders have experimented with the new design, they have found it possible to place a loose ash tray on the table in the car and drive normally at a 50-mile-an-hour speed for several miles without disturbing the tray. The car is five inches higher on the inside, because the floor has i been lowered to the running board level. Placing the motor in the rear.

HIKING SENTENCE ENDS

ml m ■> m I .■HH ■■■■■■■Mi

Absolutely new in punishment was the penalty which Edward Foster. 16, above, paid for a grocery robbery. He was sentenced by Judge Charles Smith of Anderson to carry the 20-pound sack of bricks shown on his shoulder from Anderson to Alexandria and back. 24 miles, daily for 60 days, or to take three years in the reformatory. Edward chose to hike but was paroled to the Rev. Leo Sheetz of Alexadria after his first day’s hike.

Mr. Stout claims, gives great traction and braking safety. The cushioning effect of the body between the motor and the striking point in a head-on collision reduces the shock two-thirds, he said. The entire body is built upon a frame of alloy steel tube hoops, giving “tremendous” safety-strength ratio, the designer explained.
