Mr. Bennett talking of th newmodel said: "To build a motor car light in weight and embodying quality, economy and simplicity of design, yet possessing all the comfortable riding characteristics of the larger and heavier vehicles, has ;been one of the absorbing aims of the automobile industry for a number of years. 'The problem of reaching Ideal light Aveight has been a puzzling one and was not imade possible of solution until engineering attention centered upon springs. Light be gan to dawn when the Willys-Over bating the destructive black scale and which the railroads refuse to transport because of the poisonous properties it contains.

The three-point cantilever spring suspension was the result and Is the basic principle in the new car which Overland will soon ofl'er. This principle admits of a short wheel bape, without which light weijht cannot 'be achieved, and at the same time gives the new model a long riding or spring base which produces comfort. "The new Overland 4 spring suspension has, it Is claimed by the company's engineers, provided tered the car. The manufacturers then i'ell back upon the truck to solve the problem of transportation and that it is doing it in an entirely satisfactory manner is proved bj the excellent service maintained a? far north as Iiakersfield and as far south as Fan Diego. From a small beginning the transfer company, which has the contract for transporting the gas will soon have a flee, of five truckf almost constantly in operation, and in all probability this number will be augmented as the ramifications of the fumigating business increase.

Their work was guided by the principle laid down by John X. Willys, president of the company, that all of these advantages were to be incorporated with no sacrifice of the economy of operation and upkeep that the public has long expected of the light weight car. The heavier automobiles have had the advantage of longer wheel bases, the equivalent of which is attained in the Overland 4 through its unusual spring suspension."

Goddard of tho British board of trade, believes it will be possible to manufacture automobiles in India and land them in Australia at a cost of $1,500 and make others in England which might be delivered In Australia for $2,20-0 prices which he declares will advantageously compete with the most popular Amcrican-mado cars. Government is being asked to give British cars at least a 25 per cent, preference over those of foreign manufacture.
