iron are placed on the several floors. A
small motor raises the copper water to
the top of the tower, where II is distrib-
uted to fall equally and constantly over
the precipitating material. The average
precipitate runs 40 and so per
cent copper. and at one plant has aver
aged as high as 81 per cent. Butte pro-

SIX CYLINDER
CARS POPULAR
ELEVEN DIFFERENT MAKES ARE
EXHIBITED
PRICES RANGE FROM $500 TO
$500
Automobiles So Standardized That No
One Feature Stands Out Prom
inentIy In the Madison
Square Show

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9--That 1908 will be
the year of the six-cylinder car Is strong
iy evidenced by the exhibit at the Mad
ison Square garden show that has been
running the past week.
Eleven different makes Of the skies
were shown, ranging in price from $500
to s65OO One of the strongest claims ad-
vanced for the skies is that the motive
power is more constant and the propul-
sion is never against dead center. This
allows of a closer throttling of the motor
and a corresponding gain in f1exibility, the
motor running smoother at all times than
one of fewer cylinders
The various makers have so far stand
nrdized their cars that there is no one
the show.
The changes are minor and not always
apparent on casual inspection, but taken
as a whole there has been great ad-
yancement in the finish of the various
cars and a perfecting of those things
that go far toward simplifying the con-
troll and eliminating the chances of trou-
BILE.
A tendency is shown to confine the ex-
tremely high powered motors to racing
machines, and the medium priced cars
have in most cases moderate power mo-
tor of two to four cylinders.
The lone lunger," or single cylinder
car, is rapidly becoming thing of the
past, one maker going so far as to manu-
facture nothing but skies for his entire
line.
The new makes that are shown this year
are interesting. One is the Alden SAMSON
second and the other the Selden. The lat
ter is named after the patentee on whose
patents the licensed manufacturers pay
royalty. George B. Selden is termed the
father of the automobile and holds pat
ent on the principle of applying gasoline
motor to self-propelled vehicle.
e. T. Birdsall, one of the first practical
automobile engineers in the industry, is
associated with Mr.. Selden in the manu-
facture of the cars as well as having
helped in the designing.

REBUW CAR

AND OTHER COUNTRIES
NEW DURocAR CLIMBS SOME
STEEP HILLS
Los Angeles Built Auto Is One of the
Neatest Shown on Streets and
Excites Admiration
Of All

The most distinctive runabout seen on
the streets is the rebuilt White steamer
of Mrs P. S. Kimball, 512 West First
street.
There is nothing else in the city in the
way of an automobile that compares with
1t in classiness or color. 1t is painted pea
green and the upholstery is in bright
salmon colored leather, making a COM
bination that is very attractive and har-
monious.
A new wind shield with oval glass adds
to~the original effect that shows plainly
throughout the lines of the machine.
The machine is designed primarily for
two persons but in the rear, in place of
the usual rumble, is trunk which opens
UP, making a comfortable, roomy seat for
two more persons.
AS the runabout makes its way through
the crowded traffic of the streets it be-
comes a center of attraction, and it is
quite amusing to listen to the speculative
remarks as to its make According to
the wise ones who pretend to know every
model and make on sight, it halls from
France, Germany, Belgium and many
more places scattered all over the world.

FIVE PUPS LEFT
FROM BIG LITTER
Parents Well Known as Valuable Field
Dogs, and Little Ones Should
Prove Equally Proficient
on Birds

Five nice little English setter pups are
left to F. H. Taylor of 6425 Bonsa,lo
avenue out of litter of ten delivered by
his handsome bitten Molly on the first Of
September. Because of their parents
well-known worth as field dogs, the ba-
bies have been eagerly sought after, and
Taylor is afraid the supply will be un-
equal to the demand.
Molly, the mother of the puppies, is a
Minnesota dog, and her work in field
trials attracted mucn attention there.
She was purchased by Taylor and
brought here, where she proved valua-
BILE asset while on a search for quail.
Molly was bred to Dick, which is owned
by c. McCurtie, and the puppies show the
strain of good blood which exists on both
sides.
OF the puppies, only one died out of the
big litter. -Four were sold to local
sportsmen at fancy prices, and the others
are still in the possession Of Molly's own
er. The pups are unusually large for
their age, and give indications of be-
coming as valuable in the field as are
their dam and sire.

CHICAGO SHOW TO
BE TRULY NATIONAL
COMMERCIAL CARS SEPARATE
FROM PLEASURE
Bio Automobile Exhibit Will Be Held
in Seventh Regiment Armory
by National Association of
Manufacturers
sn.o,a, to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-For the third con-
secutive season the Chicago automobile
show, to be held November 30 to De-
cember at the Coliseum, First and Sew
enth regiment armories, will be the only
truly national show of the year.
The National Association of Automo-
bile Manufacturers, Incorporated, under
whose auspices the show is annually
held, is, as it's name implies, national In
character 1t was formed and has for
eight years been conducted for the bene-
fit of the trade as a whole.
This year the commercial cars Will pc
separated from those designed FOR pleas
ure purposes. The national association,
after mature consideration, concluded
that the time had arrived for a compre-
hensiye independent display of confmer-
cial cars. While it is in some respects
n part of the old show. it was thought
wise to give it separate representation In
a show of it's own.
The Seventh regiment armory, where
the show will be held, was formerly
known as Tattersalls, and is located at
Sixteenth and State streets, four blocks
from the Coliseum and First regiment
armory.
1t was anticipated that about twenty
concerns would take part in the show.
AT this time tnlrIy-lWo COMPANIES NoFp
taken space. They will show every form
OF motor-propelled commercial vehicles,
and In addition farm implements, fire de-
partment wagons and other novelties.
The motorcycle has assumed a position
of such Importance as to demand consid-
cradle attention and a section in the
second floor of the Coliseum Annex has
been devoted to 1t and ten manufacturers
have taken advantage of the opportunity
presented. The list includes all the lead
ing manufacturers of the country.

CORNELL is VICTORIOUS

BY Associated Press.
WEST POINT, Nov. 9.-Cornell and
West Point met for their initial battle
on the gridiron here today, and the
Ithacans routed the army by a score of
A to 10. Cornell had the ball at the
end of the first half, with a score of
to 4, but the soldiers changed this early
in the second period of the game when
Philoon got through for touchdown and
Beavers kicked the goal. This placed
the army ahead, 10 to g. but during the
remainder of the game the Ithacan team
outplayed the local men, who, after hav-
ing touchdown and a goal scored
against them, were forced almost at the
last minute to a safety. which finished
the scoring.

HUNTINGTON BASKETBALL
TEAM DEFEATS HARVARD

Huntington Beach high school defeated
Harvard Military school in a game Of
basketball yesterday by score of AZ to
II. The Harvard boys put up good
fight, but were a little weak on the de-
fense. The star player of the team was
Stoll, who seemed able to make basket
on every attempt.
THE Huntington team was fast and
n1aved in good form. They have devel-
oped a great deal better basket work
since the game with the Los Angeles
high scnool. The lineup was as follows
Harvard-Stoll and Levy, forwards;
guards. Huntington Beach-Newland and

Durocar Neat Machine
Another very neat appearing runabout
that is seen in considerable numbers on
the streets is the Durocar, machine
made in Los Angeles and backed by Los
Angeles capital.
The factory, which is located on Los
Angeles street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets, has turned out sixty cars since
July. The corporation has recently en-
larged its directorate by taking in A. P.
Johnson and e. A. Featherstone, who
have strengthened the company consid-
erably.
The directorate is composed of W. N.
Varney, president; c. A. Layton, vice
president; George Shugers, manager;
A. P. Johnson, e. A. Featherstone, G. N.
Flint and L. E. Parker.
The motor used is two cylinder which
actually develops twenty-six horse power.
Only two styles are being put out 1t
present, a runabout and touring car
for five persons. The hill climbing power
of the runabout is remarkable, it having
gone over the Newhall grade without any
trouble
Friday afternoon it ran lrp the hill on
Shatto street, just above Wilmer street,
with three people, and experienced no diff
ficulty, although the climb was begun
with a standing start from the foot of
the hill, which is nearly a 40 per cent
grade.

Automobile Notes

An effective and easily procured dope
for gasoline joints isNsoap.
When the motor misses, don't jump to
the conclusion that the spark plug is
worn out Its efficiency may only be
temporarily impaired SCOT or dirt may
have lodged on the points and insulating
surfaces, resulting in short circuit. The
impediment can be removed with gasoline.
After cleaning bearing with gasoline
or kerosene don't forget to lubricate It,.
The absence of oil will result in the
presence of "hot box"
Don't use rosin on leather-lined clutch
to prevent 1t from slipping. 1t will wear
1t quickly. An application of castor oil
is best. When that fails, tighten up the
clutch spring.

MOTORIST RUNS TEN MILES
ON QUART OF KEROSENE

An interesting experience by a motor
cyclist is told in English Motoring.
The motorcyclist ran out of gasoline,
and as there was none of that precious
product to be obtained where he was at
the time, he thought he would try kero-
sene, quart of which he procured at a
wayside cottage.
There were few drops of gasoline left
in the tank which he coaxed into the
carburetor, and then poured the kerosene
into the tank. The motor fired at once
and he did the next ten miles without
a stop. The smell was appalling and the
exhaust pipe was red hot all the way,
but no damage was done. The power de-
veloped appeared to be about normal

NoN-DEFLATIoN TIRE

exhibited at last years garden show is
being shown again this year and has a
most excellent record of practical results

1t has been tried by motorists under all
sorts of conditions and has sustained the
claims made for it. Among these claims
are that 1t viii automatically and perma-
nently seal all puncturee, reduce the liza
hility of blowouts, prevent rim cutting
ard keep the outer casing cooler. The
new tube is almost revolutionary in its
line and will be examined with interest
by the motorist who wishes to avoid irri-
tating tire troubles.

HILL CLIMB
TO BE RACE
THANKSGIVING EVENT Is NOT
ALARMING AUToIsTs
RIVERSIDE GRADE is HARDLY
APPRECIABLE
Nearly All Cars Can Take 1t on Hiqh
Gear-Fremont Pass Is Sug-
eested for Real
Test

While considerable interest is manifest
ed in the coming hill climb programmed
for Riverside on Thanksgiving day, many
of the dealers who are intending to send
their cars are doing SO because they
think that it would be unwise to miss
whatever advertising will be given the
cars that enter the event
So far as being a real hill climbing
contest most of the motorists admit that
there is nothing to it. One dealer who
sells a car that is rated for 35-mile
speed says that the car will take the
grade the whole distance at a rate of
thirty-two miles per hour.
The grade will probably average per
cent, which is hardly appreciable and can
be negotiated by nearly every car on
high gear, so that the contest resolves
itself into a race where the man who will
take the dangerous curves at the highest
not afraid because of his ignorance
really stands better chance to win than
the accomplished driver who has some
regard for the safety of his neck.
The Altadena grade is not much better
as real test as there is hardly a car
that will not make the run on intermed-
late. If real hill climb is desired why
would 1t not be good plan to have 1t
take place on the Fremont place grade
as some of the cars would be unable to
get over and comparisons could be easier
made by noting the distances made as
well as the time required for the trip.
Another real test would be on the grade
from Verdugo canyon to La Crescenta
Canyada.
1t would be only fair to the buying
public If all cars were really stock models
when they are represented as such and
instead of rating them according to price
make it according to the cubic displace-
ment of the piston as is done by the A.
