they would never find it necessary to
throw out a clutch or to change gears,

be accomplished by the mere touch
of a little wheel just above the steer

If you knew that all power could
be instantly thrown off by this same
light touch and that it was impossi-

there being no clumsy levers to tug

might, every emergency could be in

Wouldn't you feel that your people

it is becoming so wonderfully popular

of years time the man wonders why
his automobile has cost him SO much.
If he bought family automobile on
the same principles he would have
bought a family horse, he would be a
number Of good, hard dollars in pocket
much more at peace with his family,
and his family much more satisfied
with the automobile.
For a family automobile there is
nothing better than the WHITE steam
car. Simplicity pervades it through
out. Just give the following hard
facts little careful consideration:
1st-Instead of starting with a heavy
crank, that is, if it is in the notion of
starting, otherwise like a balky mule
refusing to start at all, the WHITE
car starts, not uncertainty, but posi-
lively, at the flash of a match, and
three minutes later one can be on the
road. After steam has once been
raised, the car may then be started
and stopped, left standing for hours,
re-started at will, and this course con-
tinued- until the small pilot light is
eXtinguished for the night.

WANTED! 4 CATCH-
PHRASE ON Hawaii

A catch-phrase, perhaps on the or
der of 1.-The Paradise of the Pacific ~
something short, terse and epigram-
matically descriptive of the Hawaiian
Islands or Honolulu is wanted by the
Hawaii Promotion Committee.
Since the See America First move
ment was inaugurated at Salt Lake
City the catch-phrase is the thing.
The Commercial Club of Salt Lake has
induced all business men to have See
America First" printed on all their let
ter heads, and the first to take advan-
tage of the oDportunity was the Coun-
ty of Salt Lake. All the official letter.

After consultation with a couple of
the members of the committee, Secre-
tary Wood decided to offer a nominal
prize of So for the best catch-phrase
invented All such phra ses are to be
sent to Secretary Wood, Promotion
Committee, Young Building.

number of men who have sold their
gasoline machines and bought WHITE
cars, simply to please their families
who could run WHITE cars, but could
get no pleasure out of their gasoline
machines
3d-The element of safety, as we'll
as facility of operation, enters into the
consideration of a family automobile.
and in this particular, the new WHITE
is eminent. 1t uses no boiler, but
a steam generator which can neither
burn out nor explode; it is practically
indestructible, and will last as long
as the car will last. Not more than a
teacupful of water is contained in it
at any one time, and a man could
hardly damage it if he purposely set
himself to do it. Fire and water are
absolutely automatically controlled,
and both automatic devices are posi-
tive in their operation The burner
on the new WHITE car is wholly en-
cased. There is no open flame on this
car, and while the danger of any rig
of any make taking fire is too remote
to be taken into consideration, 1t is
ten times as remote in the WHITE
car as in a gasoline car, the flame
being absolutely encased and there be-
ing present none of the gasoline car
dangers, such as flame from the open

Horse Sense in Buying an Automobile

When a man is buying a horse for
family use, several considerations pre-
sent themselves:
1st-He desires that the horse shall
/ present an attractive appearance. A
horse that looks like a sleepy old plug,
and yet at the crack Of whip awakes
and trots a mile in 2:2o is all right for
the man who wants some amusing ex-
perience in road racing, but he is not
buying that kind of an animal for
family use. He wants a horse with
some style about him.
2d-He wants a fair amount Of
speed The horse must not only be
presentable, but must be able to reach
his destination in reasonable time.
3d-A man wants a horse that his
family can drive. 1t is this considera-
ton which presents itself most strong
ly to him and is one of the first ques-
lions he asks. He is not going to
trust his family to a horse that goes
up in the air every time a small dog
banks at him, nor one that side-steps
ten feet at sight of a piece of paper in
the road, nor one that takes the bit
in his teeth and runs away whenever
he takes the notion. In short, the man
wants a horse that is easily managed
and can be driven by any member of
the family. This is horse sense.
Now, why does a man lose complete
sight of this last factor when he is
buying an automobile? He consults
appearance, style and speed, but when
it comes to the question of a machine
that any member of the family can
drive, that consideration never enters
his head. He buys on appearance,
style and speed, and, later. when his
family wants to run the machine, finds
that he has one SO complicated that
he is afraid to trust it to them Then
he begins to think, and wishes he had
done his thinking before he bought his
machine. The outcome is that he hires
a chauffeur, whom he pays 800 or so
per month, who is supposed to keep
the machine in repair, but does little
of that, and who uses the machine at
night for the purpose of hauling his
individual friends around. At the end

muffles back-firfng in muffler, back
firing in carburetor, ignition from
short circuits and from flooded car
buretor.
1t viii pay you to consider carefully
the foregoing facts, and to look dis
passionately into the merits of the
WHITE car. Do not get your knowl-
edge Of it from competitive statesmen,
who probably know less about the car
Inn you do, but get it from WHITE
people. If you have any doubt that a
WHITE car is far simpler than any
gasoline car on the market, ask any
WHITE user about this, or come di-
rect to us. If we can not show you
that the WHITE car is the simplest
on the market in operation, in number
of parts, in repair of parts, and in every
particular where simplicity is a crf.
terion, We don't want your money. We
are willing to appeal wholly to your
own intelligent decision. When we
have demonstrated this simplicity to
your own satisfaction, we expect TO
sell you WHITE car, and, after we
have done this, you will find our asser-
tons more and more made good as the
days go by.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-02-04

a decided change of speed is desired,
the WHITE car is controlled entirely
by throttle. This seems improbable
to a man who has been used to the
clumsy makeshift of changing gears
whenever slow speed is desired, but
it is a positive fact that the WHITE
car will run at any speed from one
mile an hour up to full power without
any other attention than a mere touch
to the throttle wheel. The WHITE
car has an emergency gear, but this is
only for emergency purposes. 1t is
change power gear, and not a change
speed gear, and is used only in emer-
gencieS where excessive power is re-
quired. such as pulling through deep
sand or gravel, ascending the very
steepest hills, travelling over plowed
ground, and the like, but on a mere
question of increased or diminished
speed. the throttle control on the
WHITE is everything. It not only
effects all changes of speed, but shuts
off the power altogether. Think of
the freedom and satisfaction with
which you would turn your gasoline
car over to your family if you knew
they would never have to crank it to
get it started: if you knew that, in
order to increase or diminish speed,

GENEROUS TRAMP
REFUSES TO WORK
Says He Is Afraid His Wages
Will Deprive Children

LONDON. Oct. PA few weeks ago
man named William James Britton
was charged at Feitham petty sessions
with neglecting his vile and four chill
dren, who had become chargeable to the
Staines union and he told the mag1s-
trates such a plausible story of having
tramped from town TO town for dis
taEce OF nearly $50 miles, vatnly look
ing for work that the bench discharged
him upon his promising 70 join his wife
and children in the workhOuse.
Last week Britton, who left the work
house 10 find work. was charged by the
guardians with neglectlng his wife and
.amiIv and when Mr.. Ellington the
court missionary, stated that ne would
find the man work 10 do the bench again
discharged him.
Mr.. Ellington now tells the magis-
trates that Britton has not turned out
at all satisfactory. The story of his
supposed sufferings having got abroad,
a number Of ladies and gentlemen had
sent money 10 the court for his relief.
When he was discharged by the bench
he gave Britton some money and found
him work at Teddington. where he
could earn from TO shiilings day.
He started on Thursday morning. bat
his employer wrote TO say that after
working half an hour BrittOn demanded
left. and now, added Mr. Ellington,
this so-called deserving workingman
has gone back TO the wOrkhouse again.
The excuse that ne gave f0E not stay
ing at his work was that he felt he was
taking bread out of the mouths of some
Teddington children whose father ought
