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

Chairman Bentel is already consider

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

'(? 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.

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,

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. And
always Sparks did something else to
