...without cynicism question whether the hasty progress which is being made by the greater part of the 500,000 Americans through England, France, Italy, and no doubt several other countries, will really produce much imprint on minds either young or old.

Moskovicz, active, able president of Stutz Motor Car Co., returned from Europe last week. His weightiest statement was that his French consulting engineer and agent, Signor Bugatti, "the greatest automobile engineer in Europe," will produce a car twice as big as the Packard Eight. Its wheelbase will be 176 in., its speed 120 miles an hour. The Weyman Body Co. of London and Paris will build a factory at Indianapolis, Ind. Last week at least one newspaper of every...
