' WITHSTAND TESTS Speed and Endurance Per formances Have Their Re- waras maireciiy, BUILDERS TAKING PRIDE Terrlflo Strain on Xvery Trt of Car ... Shows Vf.lt Flacts it There Are Any la Auto. With ran breaklnR almost every record tliat ha ever been established, in speed, long distance runs and en durance contents of all kinds, the nsk- -.Well, what does all that mean I to m?" . I That question is discussed by C. I. Bosk, the agent for two cars whlcn have made noteworthy achievements in the last fftw months, the Hudson tiuper-Plx and the Maxwell. "Those tests mean everything to the motorist," says Boss. "Imagine, for example, the terrific strain oT every part in a car which Is going after the sustained Bpeed record, such as tile mark which the Hudson made on the Stieepshfad Kay coursi, going- 1819 mllps In 24 hours, faster than 75 miles an hour In every hour of the 2. Picture, the strain in tha Hudson's round trip across tho con tinent. Satisfaction Will Come. "Now, some man i going to say, 'Why should I bo interested particu larly In that car?' or 'What doea such n, performance! mean to the average car owne? 1 will nevtr want to go that fast.' "The satisfaction will come in knowing; that the car today is capable of the greatest strains, strains great er than would ever come In In the ordinary life ot a car. Huch a lon2 run meant that every bearing had to be risrht, had to be mult to wtand the trrlfic sripfri of niils pit hour. Cf course, ho man in the average duties , oi a car win t.fr .. i - . bllttles evtn In n criKis. but cars which will demonstrate such possl Unities muMt have unlimited Ufa Vd and dependability. Perfection Is Aim. ' "All these records, of trips across ll,e ronllnent, 0f )""( distances trav eled under high pressure, of immense litMaiuiH without a stop, mean that Hio motor c ar as built today Is a thing made as nearly perfect bh human In Konuity Ins made anything that is luechunicul. "Just imagine if you can the won der of It all. More wonderful than a Hteamshlp, more wonderful than the finest watch, more related parts and more units which had to be mastered than the finest thing mechanical which preceded it. "That la why the builders of cars take such pride in their achievements and why the motorist should be and Is very much interested in euch per formances as the speeds of the Hud son Super-Six and the 22,000 mile non stop , run of the Maxwell niotor car, held n lios, Angeles some time ago. Big Dlstaaoes Made. "It has been but a very few years wb, such marks were simply not pesslble from the best cars built, no matter what the price or the name." Both of these cars, had in their short space of time before the public, more abuser more real hard work, than will meet, the average car in a life of 100,000 miles. We have today cars which have gone that distance, which were built as far back as 1905 and 1906. Those cars, with all the Imperfec tions that seem absurd today, are still running. No one knows what the life of tho car built today will be. Any mileage or any number of years seotn possible. ' Racing Drivers Now Head for California Tvos Angeles, Nov. 11. With the ar rival of Kddle Pullen and his fellow members of the Mercer team, racing drivers will begin pourlntc into .Las Angeles at a groat rate during the next 10 days. The Harkncss cup rau closed the entire eastern eeason, and from now on the attention of speed merchants will be centered on south ern California. Pending; the time when they can use the Santa Monica course for workouts for the Vanderbilt cup and grand prize events the pilots will congregate at cot speedway. Chairman Georg U. Bentel ot the speedway board of con trol, has Issued a general invitation to the drivers to not only use the course itself, but to make themselves aa much at home on the big concrete oval as they feel like. Within a few days facilities for machine work will be installed at the track, and the var ious stars can do all their tuning up at the south ond course. Harry Twltchell, northwestern speed enthusiast has written the Ascot man agement asking for entry' blanks- and signifying his Intention of entering Ms Hudson super-six In all the speed key events this vrlntor. .Twitchell has put the car into three races, and in each instance finished In the money. His competition at Aacot will ue against, all the stars of tho game, but the Spokane driver Is confident his car will live tip to its showing in earlier meets. Aseofs new bleachers are com pleted, the plant now having accom modations for more than 20,000 specta tors. With the championship award sweepstakes on Thanksgiving day al ready looked on as tho greatest speed way event ever staged in the west ven this arrangement to handle, the crcwd la thouRht to he all too small. Chairman Bentel is already consider ing additional parking cpaco along the lower Jurn, but will wait until his entry lists are In before ordering the wprk started. No More Desire for Tobacco .

Judging from the findings of the com mittee of the Society of Automobile Engineers, which has had the subject In hand for Minw time past." This la the belief of President H. M.

NEW MOTOR FUEL IS MADE IN ENGLAND AS E Heavy Demand Caused by European War Causes New Venture to Be Undertaken. Washington, Nov. 11. The enorm ous Increase in the use of gasoline as automobile fnel on account of the Eu ropean war has resulted in a general campaign In Oreat Britain to develop a Bub8tUute for gasoline which can be 1Ift(,d t(J prope, niotor vehicles, accord '(? to advices to trm department or commerce from Consul General Skin ner at London. Mr. Skinner points out that the vast Increase In the Importation of gaso line has failed to keep pace, with the jump in the use of the fuel and that British industries plants have been badly hampered by lack of the neces sary gasoline to conduct their various :ir van says processes Hew Fnel Is Made, "Under those conditions," says the consul general's report "numerous Inventors set to work to find efficient fuel substitutes for the use of motor vehicles. Among these substitutes is a new motor fuel which Is designated a British product, although all of its Ingredients have to be imported from foreign countries. The sole control of the sale of this new motor fuel has been placed In the hands of a well ki.own trade union, the London and Provincial Licensed Vehicle Workers, which has charge of 2000 cabs out of the 5000 still on the Lon don streets. I Biff Order Becelved. "This organization stated that a first order oi 100,000 gallons of the new substitute having proved satis factory, a further order of 6.000,000 gallons had been placed with the mak ers. It is claimed that the price for the substitute is 60 per cent below that for gasoline, roughly. 37 cents a gallon against 73 cents. It consists of 60 per cent of petrol and 50 per cent of chemicals, the nature of which is kept secret." Quoting a prominent petroleum mer chant, of London, the report continue: "We are making a substitute which is an intermediate between petrol and oil, which Is an oil and not a spirit. It can be stored like ordinary lamp oil. The car is first started on petrol and then runs along on our substitute. Some users are mixing petrol with paraffins but it is certain, if they are efficient, to keep the market after the war, for they are always cheaper than pure petrol. The government Is con templating a tax on substitutes, but even with that we shall be able to beat petrol in competition." Dangers of Parking Autos Illustrated Congested. Conditions in Fark and West Fark Streets Should Be Rem edied, Say Sealers in Machines. Tho dangers of parking cars on both side of auch streets as Park and West Park, on evenings or In the daytime, were pointed out when a few of the automobile men g-jt together recently. On many evenings when there is something going on down town, or on a pleasant night when most everyone has come to a show, hundreds of cars J are to be seen parked on both sides of lark and West Park s'.reets. which are nothing but alleys In width. Confusion on election Bight. The resultant confusion was appar ent on election niffht, whan that status was particularly aggravating:. Had a piece of fire apparatus, for example, come Into any one of those blocks to reach hydrants which are located there It would havo been blocked for many minutes. With cars on both sides of that narrow street it is im possible to pass another car unless the cars have two wheels on a side next to the curb. "Those things are never considered until something happens and then for a while we have much to say and some enforcement of laws made for the oc casion and then in a lltUo while folk are back In the same track," com mented one of the men who probably study traffic more than any other class of citizens. "On any of those streets, parking should be allowed during evening hours on' one side of the street only, either .the east or the west. If. then, an automobile were going in either di rection on the street, it would be pos sible for an emergency vehicle going in the opposite direction to pass with out difficulty, and without either back ing up. Automobiles Are Blocked. "Many an automobile lias run into those blocks and was then forced to back up to open an escape for an other, which had advanced into tha pinch from the other side. The very same thine would happen to an emer gency vehicle and on some occasions a house could very easily burn to a lively crisp before a fire department could extricate itself from those blocks." - If 'safety first" has any meanto In traffic laws, it seems queer that the obvious is always the last to re ceive attention. .

Detroit to Offer New Traffic Plan Courtesy on Part of Motorists to One Another and to Pedestrians Zs Scheme for Week Event. Detroit, the city which has shown the way In traffic problems to other great cities of the country. Is about to offer another plan that it is ex pected will be taken up in many big cities. The plan Is for a courtesy week, the suggestion for a courtesy day in Detroit having first been made by James Couzens, police commissioner, and then taken up by W. S. GHbrenth and turned Into a courtesy week idea which may spread throughout the country. Courtesy on the part of motorists to one another and to pedestrians is the object of the plan. The campaign for a courtesy week in Detroit will be pushed bv Mr. Oil breath, who Is secretary of the new Detroit Automobile club. He will also take up the matter with other automobile clubs affiliated with the American Automobile association in many cities, particularly In the mid dle west and west, these cities In cluding Chicago. Cleveland, Indian spoils, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, St. Ixuls. Kansas City. ..ilwaukee, Denver. Minneapolis and St.- Paul and others. Commissioner Coutens suggested the courtesy day as a good thing to de velop a better feeling; among motor ists, and at the same time to do away with many of the avoidable traffic accidents in which automobiles figure dally. Mr. Gtlbreath was in accord with he plan, and believing thaf it could be lengthened into a week and made nationwide, he took steps immediately to. carry out the program. It Is expected the plan will be accepted gladly by automobile I clubs and motorists In other cities.

Clifford Sparks Pulls Plays With Chain Lightning Ra pidity Against Opponents. HIS DROP KICK IS MARVEL Called Place Xlck Pormatlon for Hani betscn Bat Fas Prom Center was E1(H and Then Kind worked. The "Wolverines have uncovered a quarterback Clifford Sparks whose brilliant work this hla first varsity season ranks him among the most sen sational performers la the western football world. Sparks has a chain lightning brain; one that recognizes every opportunity In the minutest flash. And be has legs and arms that work In harmony He has "pulled" plays repeatedly that have disconcerted the Ann Arbor foes, put them to utter rout and brought gasps of astonishment from the stands because of their audacity and their remarkable execution. Just to illustrate: Stiffened Uu Starts tt The Wolverines, pitted against the the ball Into Aggie territory. And then the ball Into Agio territory. And then the Aggie line stiffened and threw back the plunges of the heavy Wolver lne backs. So Sparks called upon Johnny Maulbetsch for try for groa: from placement. Sparks lay on the gTound waiting for the pass, so that he could hold the ball for the Maulbetsch boot. But the center threw the ball too high. Even Our Own Opinion of Reo the Fifth WE VERILY BELIEVE that all things considered, Reo the Fifth is the greatest automobile ever produced. THOSE ARE STRONG WORDS wa fully appreciate that fact, and yet we use the phrase in full confidence that it is justified. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED size, passenger capacity, sphere of usefulness, first cost, cost of upkeep and enduring qualities we submit there's no other car in the world that can compare with this great Reo. THE MERE FACT that Reo the Fifth has been standard for now seven seasons Is proof conclusive of what we've just said. FOR NO CAR that was less than a super car (and by the way, Reo used that term several years ago) could for so long have withstood the fierce onslaughts of competition. AND NOT ONLY THAT not only has Reo the Fifth been standard in prac tically its present form for seven times the span of life of the average model but today it leads in popular favor and demand by a larger margin than ever before. NEVER WAS THE DEMAND for this model as great as right sow. It is almost hopelessly in excess of the factory output and the output is greater than ever before. COST OF UPKEEP and operation is the reason. This has proved to be lower year in and year out than any other car of similar power or price or capacity. WE SAY PROVED ask any owner. AND, BY THE WAY, we contend that no "one year model" can possibly have proved anything as to its enduring qualities or its upkeep cost.' ANY NEW CAR is a good car it is the seven years service of this Reo the Fifth model that proves. ORDERS IN OUR HANDS now will get preference in deliveries. Reo Motor Car Company Lansing, Michigan Northwest Auto Co. Broadway at Couch St., Portland, Or. F. W. Vogler, Pres. C. M. Menzies, Sales Mgr. Phone Broadway 687, A-4959 as It left his hands. Sparks saw that he couldn't make the catch -while ly ing on the ground or while half way raised by his knees. What Sparks Did to Ball. And then seemingly with single movement. Sparks Jumped to his feet. Crabbed the ball as it was about to clear his head, whirled to face th goal posts and drop kicked the ball over the Argie bar for a count of three points which then and there cinched the game for the Wolverines. "It was the greatest Individual play I ever saw In my whole career as coach or player." was "Hurry Up" Yost's comment after the came. And every person In that crowd who saw Sparks plan and execute that play' In something less than two seconds chanted "Amen!" Oreat JJXAonad Man. But It isn't only in bralnlness that Sparks stands out. He ts one of the greatest all-round,- giidlroners that has flashed Into view In many years. In that Aggie game, the entire Wolverine team gained a total of 200 yards by rushing and Sparks alone accumu lated 107 yards of It. He crumpled the Aggie line almost every time he crashed Into 'It and circled ends for ease, and was eel-like In running back punts. Sparks ranks rlrht now In his first year as a Michigan regular aa tho greatest quarterback Michigan ever has had. There is nothing he cannot do and do In a way that thrills. Even in punting he la a wizard and his method Is reminiscent of Pat O'Dea, the creat Wisconsin hooter. Throws Bali Aralast Foot. Sparks, like O'Dea, has mastered that difficult trick of successfully punting after throwing the ball, with force at the uprising foot. Almost all other punters in the game play safe by dropping the ball on the foot. They realize that to throw It hard at the shoe will clve greater -kelght and dis tance to the kick, but they know full well that the throwing ts dangerous as the ball and foot are likely to meet at an angle, thus "slicing" the kick. But Sparks can do It and therein lies one of the main causes for Michi gan's success this season. Ills kicks are long and high and give almost his entire team plenty of time to get I down the field, "cover" the man who is set for the catch and then dump htm at once. During that Aegis game not one of the Wolverine foemen made more than two yards on any of the Spark punts a record that may stand for years, XeoaUs Xfamorle of ZckersaU. One of the peculiar features of that drop kick Sparks made against the Aggies was that not until then no one, not even Tost knew that he had skill in that line. The kid never had been called upon before to display his wares In that drepkicklng, and was too modest to tell Yost that he could do a bit of It in pinches. When Sparks made that extraordi nary play, the Aggies thought it was a new trick of Yost's. And so they watched for similar ones after that Sparks knew they were watching and recocnlzed the opportunity for "cross ing" th Acgles. Several times after that he signaled for a kick formation. The Aggies set themselves for a du plication of the unplanned play.
