• For the young members of the family there is

a £60 car, with four-wheel brakes, electrically driven. This is claimed to run for three hours at a rate of twelve miles an hour. There • are almost no " freak " chassis, but the firm of Studebaker exhibit a gold plated chassis for which I am informed £6,000 is a modest valuation. From Austria comes a chassis which has no side members to the flume, the engine and back axle being joined by a tubular construction. The problem of unsplinterable glass and its general use has again been avoided by makers, with painfully -few exceptions. The Hillman company, however, exhibited a saloon fitted with glass that would not splinter in a collision.
