The very latest development in! the automobile industry is" the use
of a real aeroplane engine in a cari The effect of this can be readily
imagined by all who have seen the enormous speed and flexibility of the!
aeroplane as it dips and loops and tail-spins with more grace and speed
than its feathered competitors of the sky. .
The aeroplane automobile engine is lighter, cooler and much more
durable than any other type. It enjdys better lubrication, less carboniza
tion and motor stresses are minimized almost to elimination through
the use of forged steel cylinders as in the aeroplane proper. It also
makes possible great fuel economy.! This is the wizard engine that in
the Mercedes: six-cylinder stock chassis has won all of the races in
which it has been entered: The International races at Prague, the
Targa Flono cup races in Italy aiftj the Alpine races held over violent
grades and under conditions almost; impossibly severe.
A railroad section foreman out
in Iowa operates a, "motor hand
car" over his section of track that
mar rightly be termed the hand
car de luxe. Finding general dis
satisfaction with the common
type of railroad motor propelled
) handcar because of the strong
winds and long, steel grades pre
vailing in his section, he set oat
to devise and build his ideal of a
h railroad motor car.
In the first place, a horizon
tally opposed, twin cylinder mo
torcycle engine was selected for
the power plant because it per
mitted building the frame of the
car low. The engine is fitted with
a three-speed transmission, giv
ing a range of gears to suit prac
tically any condition. The en
gine is started with a simple
pedal type starter and it is also
equipped with an ignition light
ing system. A storage battery
and powerful spotlight were util
ized for the lighting system.
White oak lumber was used in
the construction of the frame.
and every part of the entire car
wa made in the section foreman's
little shop with : the exception of
wheels and brakes, motor, head
light and battery. On a recent
trip of 51 miles with the new rail
car, an average speed of 25
miles an hour was maintained, in
spite of a strong head-on wind.
Under the same conditions, the
same trip would have required at

Long-Term Contracts
With Company
Fred J.j Haynes, president, and
John Ballantyne, treasurer, the
key executives of , Dodge Broth
ers, have just entered into an
iron-clad contract with that com
pany covering a long period of
years. The announcement is in
tended to set at rest at once and
for all time thoughts that there
is the slightest chance of a
change in Dodge Brothers, either
least one; hour more to make,
with the old type vehicle. Even
more recently, an average speed
of 40 miles an hour was main
tained for a distance of 72 miles.

ETer: since the passing of the
founders. John F. and Horace E.
Dodge, the future of the big busi

the commercial world, the great
record of its achievement and its
golden future, with almost limit
less possibilities naturally made

foregathered. j ,

flattering as they were, became

business the only ones who were
not consulted in the proposed dis

management grew weary of de

action just taken by the board of

motorcycles, carrying 133 passen

one of the hundreds of thorough
fares frequented by tourists.
Th reason tor the Increasing
popularity of the motorcycle as
a means of transportation on long
distance tours, can be easily ac
counted for. Not only Is a motor
cycle lighter in weight and conse
quently more easily handled than
an automobile, but it is likewise
more economical in the consump
tion of oil aha gasoline. In addi
tion, it has plenty of power to
carry a fairly good sized amount
of luggage and till surmount any
obstacles that might be encoun

Few of Them Know How to
Remedy Simple Things
About Automobiles
How about tracing out trouble
in the electrical circuits on your
car; or-correcting the timing or
the motor: or grinding the valves?
Could you do these things if either
were necessary in an emergency!
Most garage men. and they are
in position to know, believe that
you are to be congratulated on
your knowledge if you are one of
the old fashioned few who can do
any ot these things.
The long and short of it seems
to be that the substantial con
struction of the. car and its parts,
and the frequency of service sta
tions makes all this "do it your
self" knowledge superfluous. The
up-to-date driver, instead of load
ing up his memory with a mass ot
details, remembers only a few
'tems of routine care things that
ho must do to keep the car run
ning smoothly and continuously.
It is this sort of if formation that
the industry has made popular.
Hardly a day goes by in any ga
rage or service station without
their noting the effect of the ed
ucational work that has been done
by the accessory manufacturers
and car builders during the past
few years. The storage battery In
particular has received an unusual
amount of attention. The Willard
Storage Battery company has
found that the greatest part of
their sales and service work is
really educational in nature, they
must teach the battery user how
to take care of his battery.
There can be little doubt ;that
the ear owner owes a good 'deal of
his satisfaction to the etfort&.jf
