ANT AUTOS TO TAMP TRACK: NEW SPEED
DEMON WILL BE TRIED OUT NEXT SUNDAY
Bring1 your autos to tost out the
uo.w Speari 'i-ra Up race, track!
There is ii dual purpose in the in
vitation, wthiich comes from thd Motor
club. In tho first place, they want to
convince the world that they have a
track level us a floor on the Mch'en
non land on the road to Cove that
the races this year will be in plain
view of everybody; secondly Hint the
truck needs driving upon. A thou
sand automobiles spinning around t!:ie
track at every opportunity between
now and just before the date of tho
first ram, will make the track like
pavement. ' Experts who have viewed
it sny the possibilities are wonderful.
All that is needed to perfect the job
i Rome driving on it,
Olivers, motorcycles and nutoino
liilef , should not keen the same course
mk the one in front but drive nil over
the splendid course.
Chase Hohncnkump, live wire in the
Speed 'Km Up races, will unloosen a
new speed demon tomorrow if the
weather is at- all favorable. Me has
recently shipped in a short -coupled
fUriey which has something like 85
or HO miles in her. Tracey llnllister
or some otihiv skilled driver will take
1ier through the .puce tomorrow if the
new track is dry enough. The puhli..

Bob Ieighton, Maxwell agent, is
showing the newest wrinkle in auto
mobile factory productions. Merch
ants have, lately, been buying second
hand cars to remake into light com
mercial delivery cars. Frequently
they have had to pay $500 or more
for an old car now comes the Max
well people with a light chassis for
just this purpose, with running
boards, mud guards and full running
equipment. Tho iprice is $055 f. o. b.
l.a Grande and once here tinykind of
a frame to contain articles to be de-
I livered can ibe attached. In fact a
new body can be attached. The scheme
is just now being put on the market
i and features that Agent heighten
thinks will make it sell include such
as these:
Uaditor, complete with hood and
I cowl. Cowl is fitted with gasoline
tank, speedometer, carburetor adjust

i One of the latest things in the way
of vehicle propulsion by motor power
,i the ".Motor Wheel," and it has been
(exemplified during the' past week by
, the Young boys who live just north
.of town. This contr.iptiun is a ga.io
line operated motor wliich is supplied
I with its own maguito whatever that
j is and it is in the centte of a rubber
I tired wheel which is about 18 inches
! in diametre. This motor wheel is at
tachable to almost any kind of a bi
cycle and furnishes the propelling
power. In making an exhibition run
a day or two since one of the Young
boys rode a bicycle driven by the
motor wheel and trailed with a rope
another boy on a bicycle and the
whole power came from the single
motor wheel as a driver The rigging
might be designated as a simplified
form of a motorcycle, the main differ
ence being that the power driver is
independent and easily detachable
f:om the vehicle. Another noticeable
difference is that the average motor
cycle seems to he incapable ot ctlic
iency when it does not make a noise
liKe an earthquake, while the "motor
wheel'' is aide to get along without
making much more disturbance than
the iwise of an nnlitw-r-y mowing ma
chine. The Mayors Automobile Company is
completing the fifth addition to it.i
plant within the present fiscal year.
The new structure that is being com
pleted at the present time, will house
the pi eduction of the "Light Twelve"
Car. It is expected that the manu
facture of the high power, light weight
car will be under way by June 10.

I At a joint meeting of the Society of
j Automobile F.nginoers, the American
I Society of Mechanical Kngineers and
.the Aeronautical Society, in New York
I recently a most interesting paper was
read by F. K. Watts, chief engineer
j of the Hupp Motel Car Corporation
i-'itit'.ed. "Automobile Application of
i Four Cylinder Motors."
Ml. Watts' paper h is been declared
by cvgmeors, as one of the best which
I has been written on the four-cylinder
I motor. Mi. Watts stated in part:
i "1 will consider briefly the appli-
cations of motors to automobiles and
. will try to shew why the four-cylin-
der motor is used on the majority of
j motor cars produced today. As prac
jtically all commercial vehie'es, IkiUi
j freight and pa.ri'!gr. have four
' cylinder motors, I shall confine the
I .1: : ... t . ..t - . - ,.. t . i
( U. i'liauit.' (lUlUllMK'IIO,
;The question to be considered is: What
is an automobile motor required to
do? In other words: What is it
j job? F.xperiencc has convinced me
I that the majority of automobile own
ers expect their ears to perform about
. as follows: To run steadily and pleas
i nntly on high from five to fifty miles
; .'ii hour over smooth roads,
j "To carry them over the rougher
I loads ;us fust as they can ride with any
i degivo of comfort. To pull through
deep sand, mud. or snow easily and
I without overheating. To climb, any
I ordinary hill where there are traveled
I roads, on high. To get away from a
(standstill alxmt as qui.'klv a their
veighbors' ears. To do a'l these things
as cheaply as possible, ami witho.it
'skilled cure and constant attention.
Naturally, the motor's pait in secur
ing this performance is important, but
I think that any one will giant that
the average automobile owner is not
greatly interested in the contitiuc
tion or performance of his motor ex
cept ti" 't affects the performance,
durability, and r.aiiitsn. r.ce co.-t. ? his
ccr.
"T'u' ho: sepc ,ver required to give
the poi foi iiiiim e depenos of course
quite hugely upon the loaded weight
of the ear. This, in turn, depends
upon the passenger capacity and the
comfort desired. At the present time
the horsopower required is quite often
determined by the acceleration de
manded. Within the 'ast year thero
has been a tendency to greatly in-
oease the ability for acceleration in
motor ca'. This has been due partly
to the advent of eight and twelve
cylinder cars; and to rather extrava
gant claims of salesmen as to the
ability of these cars. I believe it is
also partly duo to the increasing con
gestion of tralf ic in our large cities
and upon o,ur principal highways, or
to other traffic conditions which made
a quick getaway very desirable.
"The question of durability may be
divided into two parts: First, the
durability of the motor; second, the
durability of the running gear, body,
etc. As to the motor each part can
be made as umple for its work in one
type of motor as in another, but the
four-cylinder motor should have a
longer life than the other types, fof
it is primarily more accessible and
easier to care foi hence it gets the
better average attention. The effic
ient life of a good motor is much
lor.ger than that of the average chas
sis on American roads. Ordinarly,
springs wear out first, then the body,
and the other sheet-metal parts, then
the frame, then the axles, und last of
all the motor, The effect of the type
of motor on the life of the remainder
of the 'chassis is debatable. It is an
axiom in all mechanical work that the
less complicated a machine is, the low
er must be its maintenance cost. Now
where is this more apparent than in
the comiparisdn of the four cylinder
motor with other types? It is more
accessible than other types. It has
fewer parts, hi proportion, as il haj
fewer cylinders. Repairs required
are not only less fwequent than in
other types of motors, but they arc
less costly to make. There are less
valves to grind, less cylinders to de
carbonize, iess spark plugs to clean,
less ignition wires to watch for leaks,
breaks, short-ciu.-uits, and static de
fects, less ignition contacts to syn
chronize, less work of all sorts to do.
