We are now arranging to make tests of. steering gears wherein the gear wilt be mounted upon a aland and be operated a number of times equivalent to what would be expected on an automobile after five years of severe service In order to determine the possibility of accidents occurring due to defeettve construction.

WE ARE SALT LAKE DISTRIBUTOR FOR f Syria Like Autos The contrast of before and after war conditions In Aleppo, Syria, from an automobile eye Is extremely Interesting. Consul J. B. Jackson, representing the United States In this territory, reports that before the war the Aleppo district and the neighboring territory contained about , two million persons and half a dozen automobiles seemed quite enough for them. There were business men, of course, who favored tha adoption of motor vehicles for transportation, but the difficulties seemed insurmountable, and the camel and the mule continued to handle the freight, while the Inhabitants walked, rode In carriages or on horse, back. Today we are presented with a different- picture. There are about 250,000 fewer Inhabitants since prewar days, but there are many hundreds of new aptomo-blle- s. They are chiefly tn military service, but they have created In the Aleppo business man a keen desire to use motor vehicles for transportation. Then, too. the autocratic before-the-widea that manual labor for himself belittles a man seems to have lost its potency, and many people who could have afforded a car in prewar days, but refused to drive It themselves, are prospective purchasers.
