J. THE OREGON SUNDAY J0UKNA1, : PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, " SEPTEMBER Ht&", 1 1913. U TO PHYSICIAN THE F T OF HIS CAR SUNDAY Dr, Cummings Now Firm. Be- liever in This Form of Rev- 'elation, Their Life But two or Three Years and They in Bad Shape; Half, the Time," HUNCH DISCLOSES MACADAMIZED ROADS: NOW REGARDED COSTLY " AND UNSATISFACTORY There Is one man in Portland who U a firm believer in "hunches." He has not long been of that faith, but was "converted Sunday night, when wfrHe sitting in theheatre he was suddenly overtaken with Atie "hunch" that his automobile standing outside had been stolen. Immediate investigation proved to Dr. W. G. Cummings that "hunches" come true. The circumstances that led up to the theft of the car early Sunday evening and its recovery early 'Monday forenoon are quite Interesting. Dr.. Cummings and family left their home at Klverview early Sunday morn ing for a day's outing near Garden Home.' Ah elaborate luncheon had been prepared .and carefully packed in a basket and was carried in the doctor's Bulck touring car to the picnic grounds. The picnickers were unable to con sume, all the food prepared for the luncheon and the remaining edibles were carefully packed with the plates. Silverware and table linen in the backet for the return trip. Pasty Goes To Show. In passing thorugh the, cltythe party " drove up Broadway andthe young la dies of the party insisted that the doc tor should escort them to the Orpheum for the evening's entertainment. The entire party was in picnic at tire, and the doctor admits that ho se cluded the ladies In the retiring room until the theatre lights were turned low and the performance begun. xne doctor had failed to enter Into epirit or the evening, and at 9:30 re ceived the "hunch" that his automobile, left standing; outside, had been stolen. The presentiment grew on him. and he rose ana retired rrom the theatre to find that the "hunch" was true. The police were immediately notified, and an all night search began for the car, but to no avail. Early in the forenoon Monday, and while returning to his office in the Selling butldlne, from a visit to the police station, on Kverett near Fifth, the doctor dejectedly trudged along. In passing the corner of Sixth and Oak 6treets, the doctor spied a car which bore a familiar appearance to fcim. Cummings rinds Car. The car was drawn up to the curb In proper order and was apparently in tact, excepting that both numbers at the front and rear of the car had been removed. A hurried investigation proved to the doctor that he had recovered his lost automobile, and he was consequently elated. The only apparent damage resulting to the csfr was the destruction of one of t.e rear tires- which had been run flat, but that had been thoughtfully re placed by the spare tire carried on the car. A further most peculiar circumstance connected with the theft is the fact that the lunch basket was missing, but under the rear seat, in perfect order, were found all of the dishes and. sil verware, as carefully arranged as If placed in a chest. The doctor Is of the opinion that the Joy Oder's lady friend is a. methodical housekeeper, but does not believe that that .constitutes a clue to the theft of his car. Probably the best Joke of the whole episode Is the fact that the car was not insured, although the doctor's son-In-laW- la personally engaged 1n the Insurance business in this cily The doctor declares that the next man to get his automobile will have to be a safe cracker, as he will here after keep it securely locked during his absence from the car. TEMPLARS WATCH CAR ASCEND PIKES PEAK "Waterbound macadam roads, which for practically a century have been ad equate for' the traffic, have now, under the new conditions, become obsolete, and their further construction means a serious waste of public funds," Is the opinion of one of Portland's most en thusiastic good roads' boosters. "Macadam may answer for aide roads and cross roads where there is little travel to wear the surface into dust, and few fast moving vehicles to throw the dust Into the air to be blown away. But for main roads, anywhere and ev erywhere, a method of construction must be put in operation which will produce durable roads. "Wherever it can be used concrete makes a most excellent road, or a road base, for some other kind of surface. The state of California has adopted concrete construction for practically its entire system of state highways, after a most thorough investigation. Wayne county, Michigan, has been building concrete roads for the past five years, and they have given most ex cellent satisfaction. "Before the Wayne county authori ties had learned by experience how to build concrete roads with expansion joints, to prevent the concrete from craaking in cold weather and buckling in the hot sun, several miles of roads were built which broke Into frequent cracks. To repair these cracked sec tions of road they poured hot bitum inous material into the cracks and cov ered them with sand. This has worn to tho le.vel of the concrete and the whole forms a most delightfully smooth road to travel over, and one which looks as if it would stand for a generation at least. "In some sections of the country the goncrete is being used as a base, and two or three inches of broken atone, mixed TwKh bituminous materials, put on for a surface. If properly built this kind of road should be very dura ble, and should Justify the additional expense. The concrete will furnish the strength required to hold up the loads which are constantly growing heavier, while the bltumenlzed surface will pre vent the creation of dust, making the road pleasant to travel over. "The only proper way to figure on the cost of a road,, is to consider both the original cost and the expense of mainte nance for a period of 10 or 15 years. Under present conditions of travel a macadam road would have to be resur faced every two or three years, and would be in bad condition two-thirds of the time. ' The aggregate cost would be far greater than that of a concrete road with a bituminous surface and the latter would present a good road all the tima." 200 MILES PER HOUR MAY BE FUTURE SPEED Big Manufacturer Declares No Reason Why Rate Should Not Be -Reached, Itl Is Here fJ' ' Ttr iifi ti Fully Equipped, F.

Practi cally eliminates gear shifting when driving in heavy traffic or through sand or mud. ., 6 Blleno and Power Combined No other construction offers the maximum of power with the minimum of noise. The pow erful long stroke motor with its 4-lnch bore and bhi -inch stroke gives a strong pull in any kind of going. Silence has been obtained by enclosing all moving parts of the motor and by proper construction. . ,, . . ,,. , 6 tight Weight Reciprocating Farts All motor parts built of the very best materials, enabling us to use connecting rods, pistons and other moving parts of exceptionally light weight. Connecting rods of the new Chalmers ' Six" weigh only half as much as the usual type of connecting rod. Reduction in weight eliminates vibration; does away with much of the wear to moving parts of motor. . . 7 Correctly Balanced Crank Shaft The Chalmers crank shaft Is drop forged in perfect balance. We do not have to drill out weight or add weight to secure balance. The Chalmers crank shaft Is in perfect balance for all speeds and all positions. 8 Bear Suspension of Gasoline Tank On the new Six the gasoline tana, wun a capacity ui l ' ui.mu 1 1 1 U lent u, V-1 ' - . . . . . r, . . - - n -- - only gives a more perfect balance to the entire car, but also makes possible the filling of tank without disturbing driver or Delegation of Knights From Cog Railroad See Stude baker Gain Summit, "We will pause here a moment, ladles and gentlemen, to allow you to con template the sight of a lifetime an automobile making the ascent of the peak." Thus spoke the "spieler" on a cog rail road that scales Pike's Peak, to a dele gation of touring Knights Templar and their wives. The car. a Studebaker "Six" touring model, and carrying five men, had al ready passed tho timber line that marks an elevation of 11,700 feet, and was en gaged in a battle with the bare granite mountain side which vtas, in many places, as steep as the roof of a house. Its course was an alternate series of rushes, punctuated with pauses, when the crew piled out and rolled big locks out of the way or filled gullies in the trail, which had been abandoned moro than ten years ago, on tne completion of the railroad. Swirls of cloud occasionally hid the car from the view of the excitid watchers. Intermittent dashes of rain blotted it from sight again and again. But always, when the air 'cleared, the car came into view, ncaring its goal at the summit. The last 1000 feet of tho climb the rain changed to snow, which added further difficulty to a task often pronounced impossible. The cog train dashed for the sum mit and its passengers waded through the snow to the . top .r the old trail and gazed downward toward the In visible world more than H.000 feet be low, listening Intently. Their wait was short. From almost beneath their' feet there came the hum or a 'motor; doing .the bidding of Its driver, who was call lng on it for all it had. In a cloud of snow flying from all four wheels the car fairly leaped the steep gradient at the tow and, with a cheering crew, pullud Up on the little plateau beBlde the gov ernment observatory. The Knights Templar and their ladles echoed the cheer and snapped their cam eras. The climb was history. . The coast' down was made with perfect ease. The Studebaker is the third car to make the ascent, It having been pre ceded by a runabout ana by a light rac ing car. V The car was driven to the timber line by C W. Hulbert of Denver. He was relieved on the final dash by W.

' "What do you think the evolution of the mptor car ultimately will produce Henry Ford, turned and smiled slight ly. "Tell me what do you mean," he re plied. "The clumsy two wheeled cart of the world's youth evolved Into the luxurious landau; the Montgolfier bal loon, lifted by hot air, developed into the Curtisa biplane. In what way will thd motor car of the future differ from the first motor car?" Mr. Ford passed a hand over his iron grey hair and his eyes took on a con templatlve look. The man who recre ated Sinbad's diamond valley out of his magician's brain was thinking of the painful early path. It suggested that eagle flights of 200 or 300 years do not belong to the inventor but toilsome days and wakeful nights with infinitesimal progress. "Lightness Is what we are striving for more than any other thing," he said. "It will not be long before the present 1300 pound motor car will be reduced in weight to 600 pounds. This will mean greater speed and somewhat lower price. But the price cannot be greatly de creased because lighter material de mands greater strength and craftsman ship. "Although I am not a speed enthusi ast, my aim being to increase comfort, I see no reason why motor cars should nut eventually attain 150 or 200 miles an hour. But there would be no room for pedestrians on streets used by such machines. Thoy would require special highways. In fact, rails would prob ably be the proper thing, Just as we have rails now for our Tailroad trains. ' "Would gasoline as used furnish suf ficient power" for these light, Bpeedy machines?" "Oil, yes, though it might be neces sary to mingle other liquids." "Wouldn't friction set on fire a motor car going at 200 miles an hour unless some new lubricant were employed?" "By no means; we have dynamos that run for a whole year wtio, one applica tion of lubricating oil." And this was as far as Henry Ford would go In snatching motor secrets from the future. BOGUS HEIRESS DUPES CREDULOUS NEIGHBORS iSondon. Sept. 87. Extraordinary rev elations have followed the inquest on Annle Maria Pearce of Ludlow, who shot, herself recently after posing for nine months as the legatee of a fortune of J50.000. Her neighbors were completely a- celved bv the story, which was stated at the Inquest to be totally untrue. One woman sold her pigs In order to lend the proceeds to the supposed heir ess,' Another woman expected to receive 1250 from' the deadwoman, who ' Is said to have borrowed $100 and prom ised to repay $600. A third neighbor had all her teeth extracted, Mrs. Pearce promising to pay for a new. set. '. preparations had been made for the "reception" of the money, a room hav ing been decorated, and champagne and other ' wjnes- ordered for the celebra tion. V t , ' A large crowd attended the funeral of Mrs. Pearce. i the rear of car. Putting the weight of the fuel at the rear not S-Won-rlveted Gasoline Tank The Chalmers gasoline tank is pressed from heavy sheet steel in two pieces, which are elec trically welded.
