Automobile Racing On j Maxwell Touring Car -Highest
Course In World j Cinches Another Record
The moat spectacular race in the j
history of automobile competition is;
to he staged on the snow-clad xuimnit I
of Tike's Peak, 14,109 feet above the j
sea, Chairman Kennenlell of the eon-'
test board of the A. A. A. having is
sueil official sanction for the national
hill climbing contest for automobiles:
to the summit of this giant sentinel ot
the Rockies on August 11 ami -. 1! Hi.
The Federation of American Motor
cyclists have also sanctioned three
motorcycle events on August 10.
Three Auto Events.
The automobile meet calls for four
non stock events, three of which are
professional and one amateur race.
On the Uth, one race
hiving a piston displacement of 2.'!0
cubic inches and under and one for
cars with piston displacement of 2.'!1
to IIIIO cubic inches. On the 12th in
the forenoon, amateur drivers will com
pete, the main event being marked up
for " p. in.
Magnificent Trophy.
This is n non-stock free for all, open
to any gasoline car which complies with
the definition of a motor car and is
for the magnificent Penrose trophy,
given by Spencer Penrose, noted sports
man of "Colorado Springs. It is now be
ing made of Colorado silver and gold,
standing 411 inches high and is said to
1
the richest trophy ever offered for
an automobile contest.
Course Above Clouds.
The course over which many of the
. ... -ii i i. :..
world famed drivers will dash in their ,
powertul cars into and ai)e nit ,
cars into
clouds is known as the tines I
auto highway, highest and most won-
derful of the earth s motor roads It .
is a double track boulevard from 20
SO feet, wide, with all the way easy
grades and is as smooth and even as ft,
city pavement. ,,
The races are being promoted by 1
K.igene A. Suiiderlin, builder of the ,
world's highest highway and who lias
the further distinction of being the
youngest railway president in the.
United States. Ralph . Smith of ,
Denver, v.ce president or tne 11.
will represent tho contest board.
Superb View.
The Pike's Peak races will, be im
mensely interesting to the spectators
for from one point on the course one
uiav look down thousands ot teet to me
starting point and watch the power
ful racing cars climb the rock walled
sides of the giant peak and race on to
its summit above the clouds. For other
thrills ho may also look out upon the.
most magnificent visiun ever belief
from n motor car. Away southward to
the New Mexican border line through
Colorado to Wyoming on the north is a
vast. WO mile sweep of the liockies in
plain view, while on -the east the bil
lowy ocean of plain rolls far into Kan
sas and down below, yawns an awful
abvss of SI HO feet. Sixty thousand
square miles of mountain and plain
spread out before the eye on a tre
mendous scale with a downward vimon
of half a mile greater than the. Grand
Canvon of Arizona. It will be ' Tike's

highway next August. ,
Assemble Cars In
Two Minutes Complete
kj.... Vr .. cisco. A new
form of
automobile contests that promises to
spread from coast to coast has been
invented by members of automobile
sales agencies here. It is an assembly
contest, in which 12 trained men from
rival sales ugencies vie against each
other in piecing together two ma
chines,, which have been previously
disjointed into as .nny component
parts us possible.
The initial contest was staged lit
the Kinpress theatre here, and pulled
I off mid scenes or mmcsi .,.....-....-
jThe curtain went up on a clutterot
automobile purls defying description.
Fenders were off, lumps on the tloor,

j axels out, the transmission torn asuii
I (ler in short, instead of there being
I cars there was simply u chontic mass
of parts.

for muriate of potassium used for mak
ing chlorate of potassium has risen to
the present prico of between $lt5 and
J.100 per ton, or roughly, an increase of
W00 per cent. His company, Mr. Fair
burn savs, has been aiming to keep its
prices at a normal level, and succeed
ed in doing so until the genernl increase
in match constituents compelled a revis
ion of prices. Not only is there, a vital
shortage of chlorate of potassium, but
boxwood, gums, necessary chemicals
and other materials have gone up, tho
not so alarmingly as the German pro
duct. Asked as to whether or not there
would be further a"nces In match
prices, Mr. Vairbnrn said: "It depends
entirely on the duration of the war."
Since making that statement, reports
have beeu placed in circulation that
pricce are due to another advance.

-
In the face of the heaviest snowfalls
that haveliocn recorded in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains sjnee 1M8), a -Maxwell
touring car, carrying Hay Mc
Namaru, Jack Griffin, George Sowers
and Henry Karge, battled its way over,
around and through Nature's ob-
stacles ami reached Tallac,
iched Tallac, on Lake
Tnhoe, three weeks earlier than the
first arrival in any previous season.
The feat was one of the most notable
in the annals of western nutomobiling.
The Maxwell was sent over the peril
ous trail entirely on its own power ami
the help rendered by its crew; every
foot of the way was over the Lincoln
Highway; obstacles apparently impos-
will be for carss'',' to surmount were overcome one
alter another, and tooay tne .Maxwell
stands under a shed at Tallac as posi
tive proof of the efficiency of the
modem automobile in besting grim
Winter in her most strenuous mood.
Members of the Maxwell crew faced
disaster a score of times before they
reached their goal. In many places the
snowdrifts hail piled up to a height of
more than twenty feet, sloping off to
a sheer drop into canyons nnd down
mountain sides. Had a slip or skid oc
curred while the Maxwell was shoot
ing over these it would have meant, a
hasty termination to the trial blazing
enterprise; but the motor never fulter-

In order to discourage any Doubt-
j iug Thomases who might suggest that
the Maxwell had not reached Tallac,
members of the party left their ma-,
chine at the lake and returned home
by launch, machine, font and train. At
tiie end of the trip the car showed
scarcely a mark, aside from a few
scratches on tho glossy body. The en
gino and mechanism made the entire
run without a single hitch, nnd even
the tires Wood the strain without fal
tering. Lightweight Cars Better
for Ail-Around Service
Light weight ill motor enrs is lie-j
coming more and more an attraction to j
the motorist, nceording to l.loyd L.
Ryan, distributor for Snxon Motor cars.
"The weight of an automobile," he j
snvs, "is the thing that people B''
among the 'first queries concerning any
make.
"When the light cars began to go
through the places where the big eni"
tuck, the nnldie sat up and took no
tice." said Mr. Rvan. "When the ligh'
cars continued to operate with their
same power and reliability niter trips
over mads that, were considered im
iiassible, the theories mat this kind of
travel would ruin a light car were dis
pelled nnd the public began to see t
it is possible and also policy to con
struct a light motor car which has the
endurance of the old-time heavy auto
mobile. "No motorist, much as he may enjoy
the idea of driving a car of the size
that makes it comparable to a trai-'ion
engine, likes to be mmnoned In a mod-1
ilv road and have to call on a renin i
Horses to get mm our. t um
like to have to route-his country touring I
with a view to the road over which
he must go and not the scenery that he
wants to see.
"Like every man, he wants what hej
wants when he wants it. And the way
for him to get that in motoring is to '
have a light yet durable motor enr, j
with a motor of power that can carry
him over the worst roads in an easy i
manner.
In the manufacture of the Snxnn
motor ears especial attention is paid to
lightness. The "Six" is mi except
ionally light car for its power and size
and vet workmanship or quality of mat
erials have not been slighted to lessen
Hie luiiu wciui.
"Stability, power and excellence of
design have been inudo the first prin
ciples and these have been obtained
along with the lightness. Light weight
of course, menus a saving on tire ex
pense. It's tho heavy enrs thnt wear
out the tires and this item alone
worth consideration.
"In Saxon cars, along with lightne-ss
nnd stability, there is economy in opera
tion. The motors burn a minimum am
ount of gasoline in lompnrison with
their power. Add to thnt their neat
appearance, their refinement and their I
appointments and vou have the ide, j
