Important change m the new models over th.old is the installation of a higher and- larger radiator, raising
the front lines -of the car 3 inches and giving a stream line effect direct to the cowl. This change can be
readily noted in the photos- above.. -The most important mechanical change has been in strengthening the rear
axle and drive shaft, giving tiat portion of the car regular -ton equipment. Tfce windshield has been im
proved and the "instrument board on the open models placed on a slant, giving additional room in the front
seat. Til top has been refined, one. of the back bow& being removed and the side curtains made larger,, elim
inating one curtain on each side and making the windows larger. Other changes of minor character have
refined the car in many ways. Above Is shown one of the new touring models, while below is the new sedan.

NEW-TYPE BRAKE IS SHOWN
Spring Device in Brake Rod
Jjine Said to Prevent Skidding.
A new type of "brake the Inven
tion of Centralia men, was demon
strated in Portland Friday, and ar
rangements for manufacturingr the
brake may be made in Portland, according-
to those interested. The
device consists of a eorine: attach
ment fastening upon the brake rod
in such a way, it is claimed, as to
equalize the braking power on both
wheels, prevent skidding of wheels
and to make handling the - brake
much easier.
John W. Armstrong and John
Connell of Centralia, both railroad
men,are the, inventors of the de
vice, while E. A. Ells. 210 East Sev
enth street, Portland, has taken the
general sales agency for Oregon,
Washington. Idaho ; and California.
No change is made In the brake
equipment itself in installing the
device, but -the spring- is fastened
within, the brake rod line, the brake
rod being shortened so that the
spring may be- inserted. The spring
thus imparts a flexible element to
the brake rod, so that when the
brake ver is pulled back there-is
a certain resiliency to the pressure.
This is claimed to equalize the pres
sure on the rear wheels and to auto
matically prevent skidding and to
allow the wheels to exert their
greatest braking pressure. The de
vice may also be used on railway
oars and street cars- it js stated.
