New York, Sept. S.--Undisturbed
ease in the money market and the
aggressive strength in the Hartman
stocks were the sustaining influence

ence was moderate in its effect, an
Overwhelming proportion Of the day Is

Estates Steel was the only addition of
first class Importance to that list,
Dealings elsewhere were dull and the
price movement was narrow. The
Hartman stocks failed to excite any
pronounced sympathetic effect even
lin the groups in which a similarity
.of conditions would place them. AT,
Gibson and st. Paul, usually in close
sympathy with the group were com
paratiyely neglected. In the trunk
line group the same popularity was
manifested. The rise in Erie and
Baltimore and Ohio was frankly at,
tributed to the Hartman dominance
in those properties, and other stocks
in the trunk line group were sluggish
and dun. Illinois Central was strong
without the usual response in other
southern trunk line stocks
Material developments affecting the
values Of securities were lacking after
a lapse Of three days since the pre-
ceding dealings on the stock eX-

FOREIGN AUTOM0BILISTS'
QUESTIONS EMBARRASSING
Discrimination Against Motorists and
Necessity for Separate Licenses
in Every State Surprises
Tourists

The other day the New York Sun
quoted well known automobilist as
telling of the surprise of Europeans
who had learned of the introduction of
a federal automobile law in congress.
They asked if it were really true that
different automobile licenses had to be
obtained if a tourist wished to visit
several other states than the one in
which he resided. His questioners
seemed to think such a state of affairs
very peculiar one, as they had al
ways understood the United States was
one country and not a number of indie
pendent states, with separate laws and
customs. Asked if drivers of horse
drawn vehicles were compelled to take
out separate licenses whenever they
might wish to venture beyond the bor-
ders of their home state, the informant
was forced to say they did not.
Whether or not these remarks were ac-
tually made is not for us to say; but
we know to our cost that there are
times when these United States are
very far from being one country. The
automobilst is the one who gets the
most vivid impression of this lament
able fact. He has learned that there
are many occasions when the mere get
ting into an automobile deprives him,
in some states, of some of his consti-
tutional rights. The federal automobile
law would do much to change this.

CALLS HIS TESTER
A "GRlEF MACHINE"

A "grief'' machine is what G. A. Lud-
ington calls device he has for testing
out the staying powers of all the diff
ferent makes of tires.
The impossibility of making an
equitable tire test on the road is well
known, but Mr.. Ludington is one of
those enthusiastic experts to whom is
due much of the advance in tire manu-
facture. He is a pioneer in the tire
business, having held executive posi-
tions in most of the biggest factories
and being now superintendent of the
Fisk Rubber company plant at Chico
pee Falls, Mass.
He is ever investigating and keeps his
testing machine running constantly
with different tires on it to see how
long they last and why they "come to
grief The machine treats all tires
alike and their running period is timed
When they break a careful examination
is made into just what happened and
why. It is methods such as these of
which the user knows little results In
furnishing him with better tires year
by year.

AMERICAN
CAR IS DUE
HERE TODAY
IT is EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AT
NOON
LOS ANGELES MOTORISTS TO
MEET 1T
II. D. Ryus and Others viii Go Out to
Welcome the Zust, Which Is
Driven by Foreign Con-
testants

AT noon today the American car in
the New York to Paris race is expected
in Los Angeles. The car left Goldf1eld
yesterday morning, and with good luck
could get here by noon today.
Mr.. Thomas has gone to Goldfield,
where he will meet the car and may ac-
company it to Los Angeles as pilot.
A number of motorists expect to go out
a way on the road and greet the drivers
and accompany the car to Los Angeles.
where they will be entertained during
their brief stay here.
There has been a marked tendency to
help the American car along the route,
while the same kindness has not been
extended in all cases toward the for
eign contestants. 1t has remained for
III. ID. Ryus to take up the side of the
foreigners, and he will be one of party
to go out to meet the Zust, which at
the present rate will be the second car
in, and act as pilot for the crew, show
ing them the way In and giving them
the advantage of his valuable road ex
perience in Southern California. AS
the other cars approach they will be
met in the same manner and Captain
Ryus will arrange for others to guide
them in IL he cannot go out to meet
them himself.
eigners here at one time banquet will
probably be given them by the Auto
mobile club of Southern California. The
famed hospitality of the southland
could not be any more favorably DEM
onstrated than in that way, and the eff
feet it would have would be untold, as
the whole crowd of foreigners on the
trip would be resolved into boosters
club for this part of the country.
Captain Ryus initiative in the mat
ter is typical of the man. He decries
the attitude that many of the farmers
throughout the west and middle west
have taken toward the foreign cars. and
wishes them to carry a different inn
preston when they leave the United
States 1t is such actions as the cap
tain proposes to take that make the
reputation of Southern California so
good.

PASADENA CHAUFFEURS
CHANGE CLUBS NAME
AS Automobile Operators Club II Held
Banquet in oakwocd Hotel
in Arcadia Last
Night

The Automobile Operators club has
been formed at Pasadena, and while 1t
was preceded bv the Chauffeurs' club
that name was considered inappro-
pirate. The name of operator" carries
with it less of the idea of a servant in
livery. and as the drivers of the cars
consider that they must have higher
degree of technical knowledge and ex-
perience than the average driver of
horses they resent to a marked degree
any inference that they are in the same
class as coachmen.
One of the fixed events on the calen-
dar of the Operators club is an annual
banquet, and 1t was held last night at
the Oakwood hotel in Arcadia. Whether
the frequent trips Of some of the dryers
with their employers to the Oakwood
have aroused an appetite for the viands
that their employers indulge in or
whether the place was chosen because
1t would afford motor trip as well as
q dinner is a question that has not
been answered.
An orchestra and an excellent menu
were provided for the operators and the
fun and merriment continued until q
late hour.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-22

made a continuous run of 300 miles in
the unprecedented time of 233 minutes
and A seconds-an average of II miles
an hour. For part of the distance
Cedrino made a speed of so miles an
hour 1t is stated that the tires were
never touched during the entire period
and at the end they were cool. Con-
sidering the terrific strain on tires in
race. this is a wonderful showing.
Continentals were used on the Chris
ty car, driven by Kelsey, which came
in second in the star event of the meet,
and on the Benz car, which won the
stock car race. The Benz car was
equipped with ready-fiated tires, sup
piled by the Continental company.
These tires are carried already in
fiated on spare rims, and in case a
tire is punctured, a substitute one can
be put on the wheel Immediately in
less time than initiating alone requires
by the ordinary method.
The u. S. Army car, which carried
message from New York to the COM
manding office at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, was equipped with Continentals,
as was the Pullman car, which has
just undertaken a cup race from Phil
adelphia to Savannah.

DEALER ABANDONS OLD
HORSE POWER RATING

The action of a prominent manu-
facturer of motorcycles in abandoning
the use of horse power rating may
have a far-reaching effect not only in
the motorcycle field, but in all other
directions in which the internal COM
bustion engine plays a part
The new system to be used is based
upon piston displacement, and many
good arguments may be adduced for
its adoption "horse power" is rather
an elastic proposition and often be-
comes a misleading one. Piston dis
placement, however, is a definite af-
fair, easily figured, and can always
be demonstrated to the complete sat
isfaction of the purchaser, even though
he halls from the back range of the
Ozark mountains.
The most important feature of the
new system is that If its use becomes
universal individual excellence of con-
struction will be easily appreciated.
If marked difference is shown in
the performance of two motorcycles
whose piston displacement is identical
it will not be hard to furnish the
answer.
