Snn Francisco, March 15. A record breaking exhibition of automobiles and motorcycles, motor accessories, and nil phases of motor transporta tion, will be one of the most distinc tive features of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition In San Fran cisco in 1915. So vast in expanse and so rich In mechanical and artistic ac complishment will this Immense ex hibition be that it promises to utter ly dwarf anything of the kind that has ever been attempted. Every phase of the advance in the automobile in dustry will be illustrated and many new types of automobile manufac tures will be shown for tho first time to the public. The exhibition will be contained In a special palace solely devoted to mo tor transportation and It will stand apart and distinct from tho Palace of Transportation, which is being erect ed by the exposition. Automobile hall will be erected primarily for the ben efit of American manufacturers of automobiles, motorcycles, motor bouts, aeroplanes and motor accessories. Satisfied that the physical area of the traimportatlon exhibit building did not permit nn allotment of space sufficient to accommodate nutomo- It will be about four times as large as tho Coliseum at Chicago and in it could be put four or five Madison Square Gardens of Now York. No single industry has ever presented an exhibit on half so vast a scale. In view of tho International charac ler of the exposition and its Import ance to automobile manufacturers and of tho opportunities for trado expansion, the automobile manufac turers are planning to make a display nnequttlcd In any automobile show ever organized. In the vehlclo division of trans portation exhibits, automobiles are thoroughly classified. The depajrt E FOR MOTORCYCLES History of This Machine Ik One of In terest to All Clnses of Speed Lovers.

This space is free. Hut that it is totally inadequate to satisfy the demands of the automobile Industry, has been manifested by the number of requests for Bpace already made to Captain Ashcr Carter Haker, director of exhibits of tho Panama Pacific international exposition. Applications from tho foreign manu facturers' of automobiles aro excep tionally heavy. much faster than the horse. How many owners of a 1913 Harley DavldBon would bo willing to trade tholr machine for a riding pony? Prob ably not one single lover of an exhil arating rido into the country on a fast machine, up hill and down, with al most absolute disregard for ruts be cause of the Ful-Flotclng seat, which will spring five or six Inches, would even think of exchanging for the Jolt ing, hot and uncomfortable bounce, rate of sixty or seventy-five miles an hour on roads so rough that no four wheeled machine can approach that speed. Customs detectives at International boundaries have been able to seize at different times thousands of dollars worth of opium, being smuggled In by means of automobiles, which could and did escape other means employed by the customs officials to capture them. The motorcycle has not only dem onstrated its ability to replace the horse In many respects, but has al ways replaced the horse in hundreds of places. Through years of concen tration and effort on tho part of the manufacturing engineers to produce the best machine possible and to ov ercome every obstacle, thoy have now produced a machine so simple that it can be handled and ridden by any one with perfect assurance that it is reliable and does not require a me chanio to understand Its operation.

Tho motorcycle can go at a NEW SENSE OP POWER SORELY TEMPTS MOTORISTS Whenever the question of unnec essary noise so far as automobile horns and other typeB of warning sig nals are concerned comes up in a community, about the first thing the Investigator discovers is tliat the per son who has Just becomo a motorist Is usually Inclined to violate both the speed and the noise ethics. Roy F. Hrltton of St. Louis, In peaking of this very matter the other day, said: "The man we have most trouble with is the one who has Just learned to drive a motor car. He revels In two facts, sense of posses sion and a sense of power. It fairly thrills him to feel that he has at his fingers' ends the ability to drive his machine at break-neck speed, and to make people realize by the Bteady blowing of his electric horn that he Is approaching. "I do not think anyone can realize this, the extent of this temptation. who has not driven a motor car. Older motorists are not altogether free from yielding to the temptation. Tho re- miH la thut flip ril'ht ftnl't nf loirlsln- t Ion, such as we have here, restrict ing the use of the warning signal to an abrupt sound, sufficiently loud to be heard above the noise of traffic, is nn absolute necessity, And the fur ther provision that a warning signal bo only used ns a warning of real danger existing brings about the most desirable results."

Its first factory was a small one-story frame building and lis output was exceedingly lim ited. James Couzens became Mr. Ford's associate at this time. He became tho executive bend of the office and selling forces, while Mr. Ford devoted his energies to the perfecting of the Ford car. Mr. Couzens Is secretary and treasurer of the company and Is generally conceded to be one of the country's ablest financiers. It Is Interesting to note, In pass ing, that tho caiwClty of the Ford factories, the number of men em ployed and tho amount of money dis tributed In wages have almost doubled every year since Us beginning. Today the Ford factory In Detroit Is one of America's "seven wonders" a model plant in every respect, equipped with the most modern ma chinery and devices, employing seven thousand well-paid workers and rep resenting a clear investment of sev eral millions. Here under the direct mid constant supervision of Mr. Ford and a corps of trained engineers, tho Ford car Is made on a scale so tremendous as to bo almost beyond the conception of those unfamiliar with tho condition of its manufacture. Tlease bear in mind that this great plant and Its equipment is all devoted to the making of Just one car. All Ftords aro alike, except the bodies. Tho engines, the frames, the trans missions, the running gears, all that goes to make up the chassis are iden tical. Inst One Car the Eord Model T. Tho Ford effort has been centered upon the making of Just one good cnr. 1 The onllro product of this gigantic factory Is but the few hundred parts of ono simple model. Knergy has not been dissipated In tho endenvor to build thoesands of different parts for many different models. And the result has been that the ac curacy and efficiency of tho work hnve been brought to a surprising de gree of perfection, tho cost of produc tion has been battered down to a minimum, and the servlceableness of the car has been brought to its pres ent unexcelled standard. It would cost twice as much as It now dooB to build the Ford car, were It made on a less stupendous scale and in tho ordinary nntomobllo fnc tory.

In nnallty ot chassis material, methods of manufac ture and cnre In inspection the "25" Is Identical with the higher priced Studebakcr cars. Ilecaune of these facts alone the Stmlchakrr "i:" Is taken out of comparison with other ran of the same price.

Moreover, the finely upholstered und deeply cushioned seats are extremly comfortable. There Is no swaying across the road us Is frequently the case with lluht car. The body Is of handsome design, with ample room In the tonncuu for three passengers, Notice the close resemblance to oar other curs.

The Studehaker Jiffy curtains on tho uii" are very handy, and from the spark and throttle con trols, which are on the steering column, to the SOxSM Inch Goodrich tires, everything about the car Is ef the best quality, and wlll appeal to the purchaser who knows automobile value when he sees It. We have built the "25" not only for the buyer who delights In accessories, but for the great American people who want nn unfailing, hand some, enduring car at a price within everyone's reach.
