T1TE . SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 1917. 11 HEW FORD TRACTOR OF ORIGINAL DESIGN 1 OREGONIAN REPORT ON ROADS 1 Machine Is Light in Weight and Has High Speed of 2.83 Miles Per Hour. FACTORY OUTPUT 50 DAILY No Price lor Tractor Is Vet An nounced and First Ones Made Will Be Turned Over for Use of Great Britain. The tractor built by Henry Ford and bis eon, Edsel Ford, and which Is now ready for production at the rate of 50 vehicles a day, according to official an nouncements made last week in the leading trade magazines, represents many original features in farm tractor engineering: and gives an indication of what points of design the motor car Industry may carry Into the tractor field. Many of the principles Ford has championed In the motor car field are eeen in the tractor, notably that of light weight, the tractor scaling at 2500 pounds, whereas tractor weights with few exceptions average double that rirtich. Design. Is largely responsible for this low weight in that many parts used In other tractors have been elimi nated; thus there is no frame because the motor, gearbox and rear axle bolt one to the other, forming a bridge con struction which takes the place of the frame. The radiator bolts to the en dint, so that necessary connecting pipes and tubing are eliminated; there Is no water pump, there is no oil pump; then alloy steels are used through many parts, giving lighter constructions, and lastly the design in which relatively email driving wheels are used results in large weight reductions. Rear Wheels Are Small. The rear wheels are but 42 inches In diameter and the front wheels 28 inches. Many tractors have 60-inch and larger wheels. When it is remem bered that a 60-inch tractor wheel may weigh 650 pounds and that the four wheels of such a tractor may weigh approximately 1700 pounds, you gain some conception of what Ford gains by smaller wheels, when you recall that his entire machine weighs but 2500 pounds. The present Ford machine is a devel opment of the one demonstrated at the Fremont, Neb., plowing demonstrations a year ago, when it was llrst exhibited and demonstrated to the public. Since that time little has been heard of it, but It is known that changes have been made and unquestionably the expe rience with the tractor in Europe has hastened alterations. Several thousand of the first produced will be absorbed by the British government. In a word the Ford Is a four-wheel machine, driving through the two rear wheels and steering through the front ones.1 It uses a four-cylinder engine a multiple-disk clutch, a three-speed and reverse gearset, a worm-driven rear axle and is particularly conspicu ous in the tractor field in that every thing is inclosed, which is much at variance with much tractor design to day. Nothing is more necessary than having all parts well inclosed in a trac tor in that the machine is very often working in a constant cloud , of dust. It starts on gasoline, and burns kero sene. Price .la Unannounced. At present no price is announced, but from the construction it is seen that the machine will not be an abnormally low-priced job. That expense is not spared is shown by the very general use of the finest annular ball bearings as well as alloy steels. The aim of Henry Ford has been to build a good, service able machine, a handy type as well, in that it can turn in a circle with a ra dius of 21 feet and works with a draw bar pull of 1500 pounds. This makes it a two-plow machine for working on Intermediate speed of 2.7 miles per hour. Jt is claimed to have a 25 per cent reserve power when working at this rtandard. The machine has a high tpeed of 2.83 miles per hour. Ten years ago Henry Ford conceived the idea that a light farm tractor sell ' ing within reach of the average farmer would prove to be one of the greatest boons to the country. At the same time lie had two other ideas, one that an economical sawmill would also be a great boon and the other that a low priced motor car incorporating good materials and the elements of reliabil ity would make a great manufacturing success. Fate decreed that he should make the motor car and the success which he has achieved with it Is well known. But during the years that Henry Ford had been making cars and millions the idea of the tractor has never left him. Three years ago he started accurate experi menting on ideas which he had taken up from time to time during the pre vious years, and the results of these experiments In the engineering labo ratory and on the farm are Just about ready to enter the final stage of pro duction..

The novelty of rurnlsnlng through the headlights of his Liberty car the only illumination for an Indian war dance and thrilling wrestling bout held recently on the Umatilla Indian reser vation IS miles from Pendleton was en- Joyed recently by Sam Maffet, terri tory man for the firm of Mitehel M'allingford, Oregon distributors for the Liberty six and the Premier car. While he was making the Umatilla territory. .Mr. Marret learned of the big nine uui was to De neid on the res ervation and thought he might as well epend the night out on the plains. It was a lucky thing for the wrestling match that Mr. Maffet did turn up. for the contest would have been held in the dark but for the lights of the Lib erty slx. 'I have never in all my life seen o.uite such a wrestling match as the one between the negro and Indian who were pitted against each other that night," said Mr. Maffet last week. "Both of them were game to the core, but the negro seemed to be the stronger and finally won out but not until after he had broken ths red man's shoulder. "After that rj avtsrro challenged ali comers for tnoUwr match but no one undertook to throw him. There was considerable betting among the cow loys prior to the match and a gooa 0el of money changed bands over the fcesult of tha contest.'

ARMY AND NAVY NEEDS BIG Volunteer Stoppage of Wastage Is Desired and Drastic Action by Government Is Not Expected to Become Necessary. To guarantee ample fuel for Army and Navy needs and for the legitimate requirements of motor car users, the National automobile organizations have begun their "save gasoline" campaign among; garages, dealers and owners. Co-operating in the movement are the National . Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Society of Automobile Engi neers, Motor and Accessory Manufac turers and the American Automobile Association, with its membership of clubs and individual owners. In his announcement Van II. Man ning, director of the Bureau of Mines, says it is estimated the United States Army will need 350,000,000 -gallons of gasoline for airplanes, trucks, tractors, etc. He says: "Automobile owners need not lay up cars, but should use them either for trade or pleasure pur poses thoughfully and judiciously. If this advice is followed, there will be no undue scarcity, for the United States possesses an abundant supply for ordi nary purposes." Drastic Action Unlikely. In the opinion of Chester Naramore, chief, and John II. Wiggins, of the pe troleum division of the Bureau of Mines, and of many oil producers and refiners, the gasoline situation, while it must be viewed seriously, is not such as to indicate probable need for drastic action by the Government or the sus pension of the customary useful opera tion of passenger automobiles, yet it is the patriotic and unselfish duty of owners to use gasoline with utmost economy. It is not a question of sav ing money spent for gasoline or of saving gasoline to prevent an Increase in price, but of conserving the fuel it self so there will be ample for war needs. The situation in this country Is not like that of England, because England is entirely dependent upon imports for her gasoline supply, whereas the united States is a large producing country and exports great quantities of oil and gasoline. During the fiscal year ended June SO. 1917, the United States ex ported 425,703,130 gallons of gasoline and naptha, as compared with 294,779, 809 gallons in the previous fiscal year. Her exports of crude, illuminating, lu bricating and fuel oils, residuum and other mineral oils increased from 2,148. 668,174 gallons in the 12 months ended June 30, 1916, .to 2.323.735,304 gallons during the last fiscal year. Of the 2.500.000,000 gallons of gaso line refined in this country last year, about one-half was used in the 3,600, 000 motor Vehicles in use. Even if only a 10 per cent saving is effected by auto mobilists, this will amount to more than 125,000,000 gallons in the next 12 months. Savins Is Easy Matter. Such a saving Is easy to accomplish, according to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, without entail ing hardship on anyone and with ac tual benefit to car users aside from the saving in fuel and the cost thereof. By more careful adjustment of car bureters, cleaning of cylinders, tight ening of piston rings, etc., the cars will run better, develop more power and generally give more satisfaction. The "NAOC" is calling upon all man ufacturers in the country and upon about 27.000 dealers, 24,000 garages and 13,000 repair shops to help in the move ment to save gasoline. It Is preparing a placard to be hung on the walls of service stations, garages and supply stations urging users to economize in the consumption of gasoline in the fol lowing ways: 1 Do not use gasoline for washing or cleaning use kerosene to cut the grease. 2 Do not spill gasoline or let drip when filling it Is dangerous and waste ful. 3 Do not expose gasoline to air it evaporates rapidly and is dangerous. 4 Do not allow engine to run when car is standing. Cars are fitted with self-starters and It is good for th bat tery to be used frequently. Adjustment Is Advised. 5 Have carbureters adjusted to use leanest mixture possible a lean mix ture avoids carbon deposits. 6 See that piston rings fit tight and cylinders hold compression well. Leak age of compression causes loss. - 7 Stop all gasoline leakage. Form the habit of shutting off gasoline at the tank or feedpipe. 8 See that all bearings run freely and are well lubricated friction con sumes power and wastes gas. 9 Protect the radiator In cold weather a cold engine is hard to start and is short In power. 10 Keep tires fully inflated sofl tires consume power. 11 Do not drive at excessive speed. Power consumption Increases at a fas ter rate than speed. Every car has a definite speed at which . It operates with maximum fuel economy. 12 Change gears rather than climb hills with wide open throttle It saves car and gas. 13 Do not use cars needlessly or aimlessly. By exercise of forethought a number of errands can be combined so that one trip to town ort elsewhere will do as well as two. 14 Reduce the amount of riding for mere pleasure by shortening such trips or cutting down their frequency. Congressional Action Wanted. The Government is not contemplat ing any drastic action to compel car users to give up riding for pleasure or recreation, and if there Is a general and concerted effort to save gasoline it is believed there will be ample to meet all reasonable requirements. Congress will be urged to modify regulations surrounding the manufac ture of industrial alcohol so that dis tilleries which are prohibited by the new food law from manufacturing whisky can produce alcohol from thing other than cereals to sell cheaply in competition with gasoline for fuel pur poses. Farmers can produce it from waste products. New oil fields, new refining processes and a persistent campaign of economy are expected to help the fuel situation to the benefit of the Government and all other users. Packard Sales Increase. An Increase of 15M4 per cent In motor carriage sales for the first four weeks of the new season over the same period of the last fiscal year is announced by George R. Bury, assistant general sales manager of the Packard Motor Com pany. The year of August 1, 1916 to August 1, 1917, was the greatest la the history of the company, . j tSSaTlT 7a7laVril -i--" " ..aaaaa..aaaaaeafca-aaav Insure Your Battery's Health Get a Willard Servioe Card and use it It entitles you to semi-monthly testing by battery experts.

Parade In This City Will Precede Start for Exhibition Portland Day to See Special Programme. The Dealers' Motor Car Association will participate in the Portland day programme of the Multnomah County Fair at Gresham next Thursday. The association has accepted an In vitation of the board of directors and Senator H. A. Lewis to give a monster parade of automobiles Thursday noon about the principal streets of Portland and then drive to Gresham to attend the fair for the afternoon. Campbell's American band of 17 pieces will lead the parade in a motor truck, and the dealers with their friends and prospects will follow. It Is expected that 50 cars will be in line at the start. Cars will assemble at the North Park blocks. Park and Couch streets, Thursday at 11:30 A. M., and the parade will move promptly at 12 o'clock. A special racing programme for Portland day has been provided, con sisting of a 2:20 trot, 2:14 pace, one half mile run, one mile run and a one half mile run of Shetlands. The races will start immediately upon the arrival of the auto train at Gresham. All automobile owners who expect to attend the Gresham Fair are requested to have their machines at the assembly point at 11:30 Thursday, when places will be assigned to them for the parade. A committee probably will be ap pointed at the Monday night meeting of the Dealers' Association to take charge of the transportation of the band. Auto owners may obtain further In formation by telephoning Main 2166. Inasmuch as Mayor Baker has pro claimed Portland day a holiday, it is expected that a record-breaking at tendance will wend its way to Gresham Thursday. TIRES STAND rxiTSUAIi TEST Car Leaps 51 Feet to Prove Dur ability of Parts. If you can ti.iagine a dead weight of 16.000 pounds say eight tons of lead dropping a distance of eight feet to the pavement, with Its fall checked and withstood wholly by four automobile tires, you fan grasp just half of the blow that was given to the United States chain-tread tires on a Maxwell touring car when it recently made a sensational leap of 61 feet in the down town section of Newark, N. J. The astonishing Jump was made with P. W. Gibbs, road engineer for the Max well Motor Company, at the wheel. Ills performance was for the purpose of proving Maxwell durability and qual ity. In doing this he subjected his United States chain treads to the most convincing test of toughness that a tire ever has been put to. ENTRANCE rEE ELIMIXATED Directors of Motor Association Act to Increase Membership. As the first step toward an active membership campaign, the directors of the Oregon State Motor Association have decided to eliminate the entrance fee entirely and to make a standard charge of $15 for those Joining under the new arrangement. This fee will pay all dues up to January 1, 1919. The directors feel that an increased membership is necessary if the plans of the association are carried out to the best advantage. BUYING EARLY SAVES MUCH Hudson Company AYIU Have to In crease Price When Stock Goes. "Fifty-one motor cars have advanced their prices within the past few months," remarked C. L. Boss, local Hudson dealer last week. "The ad vances are big from $200 to $700. Vis itors to my show rooms have asked me. with some show of suspicion, whether this general rise was not tha result of an agreement to advance prices on the part of manufacturers and. if so, why had not the Hudson Super-Six advanced with th others. "Of course, the real situation is that these other manufacturers were forced to raise their prices because of the advances of raw materials. And the Hudson Super-Six escaped the neces sity for advancing price because tha Hudson Company bought its raw ma- tr1:ilja At flic marlfnt r f rt Aa . vA when prices were less than half what they are now. "When our present stock is ex hausted, and it is vanishing rapidly, the Super-Six. too, will have to ad vance its prices."
