NEW AGENT FOR
THELOCOMOBILES
R. S. LEAVlTT HAS NEW MOD
ELS ON THE WAY
TWO MODELS WILL BE CON-
TiNUED WITH IMPROVEMENTS
ThIrty-Horse Power Car Is to Have
a Shaft Drive for 19o9-chaln

Features

A shipment of 1909 locomobiles is now
en- route to Los Angeles and will be
here within the next ten days. The
locomobile agency has been taken by
r. ]. Leavitt, but, at present, he is
not prepared to announce the location
of his garage and salesroom.
Mr.. Leavitt formerly had the loco
mobile agency for the state of Wash
ington and is familiar with the line.
He is getting forty horse power car
with a toy tonneau for his personal
use.
Most of the we'll known loco fea-
lures are continued in the new models.
but instead of chain drive on the
smaller machine there will be shaft
drive. The chain drive will be con-
tinued on the forty horse power model.
The lines of the body have been
slightly changed and the thirty horse
power type will be much larger. 1t
will have a roomy tonneau and
wheel base of i20 inches.
The cars will have four speed, Sc
lective type transmission, and the make
and break ignition. The larger car
has a wheelbase of 124 inches.
The cars will come with the touring
car, roadster or toy tonneau bodies,
or any of the inclosed types.
Mr. Leavitt is a locomobile enthusi-
asst. 1.-THE new car is wonder" he
said. "It is a representative American
car and is built along even more styl-
ish lines than the locomobiles of the
past. Judging from the many people
who are waiting to see the new models
the cars will be popular in Southern
California"

Motoring and Dust

Nearly 200 miles of road in the county OF
Kent England, have been rendered practl-
cally dustless.
After highways have been once well
tarred. spraying on alternate years is said
to keep them in good order.
Paris has given up tar treatment of roads
because 1t is killing the trees along some
of the boulevards.
Dustless roads as the remedy for the dust
nuisance has appealed to Belgians SO force
fully that they are talking OF making quite
a number of them.
The Royal Automobile club OF England
will during the coming fall and winter de-
vote the most of It's energies to study OF
the dust problem.
ALI the experiments abroad have gone to
show that it will be a problem of road
rather than car construction that will finally
solve the dust question.
Crude gas works tar spread on the roads
to lay the dust only serves temporarily.
while the heat of the causes 1T to give
off vapors that are hardly less Objectionable
than the dust.
Owners Of private motor cars in Germany
may be subsidized up to $3.50 year IL their
cars are of the type required for use by the
army and are kept UP to war basis OF
efficiency.
An oil emulsion made up with naphtha
soap and hot water has proved one of the
best dust layers, the oil being one part

ity to three parts of paraffin base fhel OIL
Three years experiments on the Lincoln
park system of Chicago have shown that
the best road far a dustless condition
and wearing surface are concerned Is one

lightly rolled torpedo sand top dressing
1t is the dust more than the elements
that drives motorists to extremes in matter
of protection and consequent expense, the
closed car becoming more and more COM
mon even at the expense of the fresh air
which was formerly so much sought when
out for ride in the country.
1t was three years ago that Kent county,

Some Motor Wisdom

IL is best to treat old tires like aged
people ard not work either of them too
hard.
Wise racing drivers now wear caps with
ear rolls to. enable them to hear car com
ing up from the rear
Half the accidents to motor cars are
caused by who get nowhere faster than
other men try to get anywhere.
Whatever may be the temptation, the
driver is foolish who looks back while run
ming at full or even half speed.
Nearly all the laws that are obnoxious to
the careless really intended to protect
such persons from themselves
The man who turns sharp corner faster
than ten miles an hour or overtakes any
vehicle upon corner is counting disaster
that will catch UP with him sometime
The first thing to do when purchasing a
second hand car is to have some one test
the compression of the engine, for the car
will not be efficient unless the compression
is at least fair.
To place a speed or distance recording de-
vice properly takes great deal Of patience.
as 1t must be mounted on road wheel ana
exactly centered, otherwise the gears Will
wear quickly and noise Will be the result.
When the muffler appears clogged so that
there is improper leakage Of the exhaust 1t
is easy to learn il such be the case by mo-
mentariIy covering the discharge pipe when
the motor will slow down. provided every
thing is tight.
More and more dependence is coming to
be placed the throttle when driving in
stead of slipping the clutch, this being due,
Il is said to the fact that many OF the
new forms of clutches do not lend them
selves readily to such constant use
Compression Is the muscle Of the motor
car just as the carburetter may be said to
be the lungs of the Internal combustion
engine and most builders have now designed
their engines to carry from sixty to eighty
pounds pressure per square inch.
When the brake slips the best thing to do
is to examine carefully the friction sur
faces first, and failing to find anything
there to cause the trouble look next TO see
that nothing binders the contact when the
pedal or lever is thrown into position
a good thing to have in the tool box is a
small piece Of fine wire gauze fashioned
into funnel that will be small enough TO

REQ BIRD FOR
ARIZONA FAIR
BERT LATHAM TO DRIVE RACER
AT PHOENIX
CUP FOR FASTEST TIME FROM
LOS ANGELES
Motor Car Display to Be One of the
Features of the Exposition.
Road Is a Bad
One

The feature of the automobile races
at the territorial fair at Phoenix will
be the appearance of the REQ Bird. The
contract was signed last week, and
Bert Latham will go to Arizona to
drive the racer. The Bird has not been
raced since it made such fast time on
the track at Lakeside, near San Diego.
Latham has never had the opportunity
of plotting this speedy little middle
weight car, and will welcome this
chance to so after the worlds record
up to ten miles.
The fair management is anxious to
make automobiles one of the features
of the exposition, and in addition to the
races and the exhibition of motor cars
there has been a cup offered by the
Arizona Republican for the car making
the fastest time between Los Angeles
and Phoenix. The cup will be a per-
petual challenge trophy and can be
contested for annually between Novem-
Der / and 16.
Leon T. Shelter announced Tabasco
I, his Kisselkar which contested in the
Mt. Badly race as a candidate for the
cup, and Latham and c. p. King will
send the car through in asst time.
The road is a hard one and car is
put to d severe test. From Los Ange-
les to the Cajon pass the road is good.
After topping the grade there are fair
roads for a distance, but soon the
sand begins and for 200 miles it is a
ease of fight most of the way. 1t will
be a particularly hard trip if there
should be any rains about the time the
trials are made.
There will be an exhibition of Kissel-
kars and ReOs at the fair.

TOURIST COMPANY
HAS NEW 1909 CAR
Car Has All the Latest Improvements
and Is the Largest Machine
Built by the Local
Company

The first 1909 model announced by
the Auto Vehicle company is a new
seven passenger car. 1t is the largest
car ever put out by the local COM
pany.
The motor is a 80 B. H. power Ru-
TENDER, having the new self contained
oiling system in crank case, pumping
oil to all bearings by a gear driven
pump on end of cam shaft. There is
a gauge on the outside of the crank
case to show the quantity of oil in
the case.
The ignition is the double system
using a Sims Bosch Magnetic and
Pttsfield single vibrator coil with
distributor.
A 1909 model f. Schebler carburetor
is used that has a jacket around top
and hot air from exhaust is forced into
the jacket, insuring the greatest eff
ficiency in generating the gas under all
conditions
Both hand and foot throttle are used;
also adjustment on dash for needle
point on gasoline feed, which enables
the operator to secure at least % per
cent more mileage than the old method.
The gasoline is fed by an automatic
air pressure with gauge on dash.
A pressure pump is also installed on
dash to give a starting charge or for
use in extreme hill climbing; a four
speed forward and reverse transmission
is used, the third gear being the direct
drive, while the fourth gear is geared
higher for extreme speed. The clutch
is a multiple disc, running in bath of
OIL
All bearings in the aXles, differentials
and transmission are Hess bright, 36x4
inches front and 36X41a inches rear tires
are used. The front springs are AZ
inches, semi-elliptic, and the rear are
platform with 50-inch side springs.
The body is a luxurious seven-pas-
senger design, with the two extra ton
neau seats. disappearing in floor when
not in use. The car is painted in genu-
| Inc English vermillion, with black
panels and stripping. 1t is upholstered
in strictly hand buff, dull finish leather.
The car completely equipped costs $3.50.

NEW FRANKLIN CARS
ARE NOW EN- ROUTE
RALPH HAMLIN HAS HAD A BIG
YEAR
Expects the Air-Cooled Models to
Retain the Popularity of the
Past-One Cheaper Car
on Market

There will be little change in the
Franklin line this season. All the old
models will be continued with no re-
duction in price, but to meet the popu-
lar demand one cheaper model will be
put in the market.
Ralph Hamln, the local Franklin
agent, has had a highly successful
year. There is always a good demand
for the Franklin, and with the refine
ments and improvements which have
been added Mr.. Hamlin is looking for
an even more successful season in 1909.
The six will retain all its old charac-
teristics and the first of the new cars
will be received soon. 1t was this model
which scored so decisively in the last
race meet, winning the fifty and hun
bred mile races.
