MINISTER WI TAKES TRIP

Gently made trip from Chicago to South
Bend, Ind. in a Studebaker car and spent
a day in South Bend inspecting the immense
plants of the Singer Sewing Machine COM
pany. the oliver Plow works and the Stude-
baker vehicle and automobile factories. each
the largest of it's kind In the world. At
the Studebaker factory Minister WI was
entertained by President J. M. Studebaker,
seventy-fve years young, and Mr.. Stude-
baker took him for trip through the
works, which Minister WI says he will
never forget and never expects to duph-
cate.
President Studebaker seated the Chinese
minister in his Studebaker electric and to-
gether they drove in through the broad
factory gates. through the wide factory
aisles with the busy machines and workmen
on either side, and on to one of the great
elevators and were taken to the roof where
they continued their trip the roadway
and bridges nearly quarter of a mils
long, which makes a complete circuit over
the roofs Of the great vehicle plant. When
they to building which they
wished to inspect the would be driven
on to an elevator and descending would
make the circuit of the desired floor and
return to the roof again by way of the
elevator.
Although the trip was dizzy one Presi-
dent Studebaker's perfect control of the
car seemed to inspire Minister WI with
confidence and he enjoyed the very un-
usual trip.

INTERESTING DETAILS OF
INTELLIGENT ROAD MAKING

Some interesting details, showing how
an English body having charge of the
maintenance Of roads accomplished
wonders at an exceedingly small cost,
appeared in the Automobile Journal
recently. AS the surveyor employed by
the board puts it, he made roads at a
cost of Is 21ad and Is 31ad per square
yard, which have stood "the heaviest
motor traffic of any main road in the
kingdom" perfectly, whereas under the
unsatisfactory old system of construc-
ton the cost has often been as high as
rs Id per square yard on some main
roads.
On the Brighton road at Peas Pot
tage, for instance, the road was scarf
fled to depth of about two inches, had
list loosened surface tar-painted, was
given a tWo-inch cushion of dry gran
lite, and, after being rolled and tar
painted again, was covered with three
eighths of an inch clippings before the
final rolling. This was done last year,
and today the road shows practically no
wear at all. An even better method is
also described in the report as having
proved a thorough success on the Wor-
thing road. A first layer of tarred
granite Is put down to thickness or
one inch, then comes two-inch cush-
ion of dry granite, and finally a cover
of three-eighths of an inch tarred chip
pings, we'll rolled in with a compare
lively light roller.

HOLDS AUTOMOBILES HAVE
MANY RIGHTS ON ROAD

A Pennsylvania court. in handing down
an opinion In case that has been In dis
pute for seven years. has anirmeo IN 'ne
most sweeping terms possible the right Of
automobiles to make use of any public high
ways. 1t declares that the new law holds
automobiles to be pleasure carriages. Just
as are carriages drawn by horses. and that
consequently they have the same rights and
privileges. and cannot be kept on OF any
public road in the state. Undoubtedly this
is sound law. 1t has been affirmed In
dozens Of courts, and is generally accepted
as final. Yet there are few places--Bar
Harbor, Me-, Nantucket, ETC., where the
rights of automobiles are still denied
While these barred places exist the complete
equality of the motor vehicle remains to be
established. All that is needed Is a deter
mined appeal to the courts and the forcing
of the issue. Here is an opportunity for
some of the many bodies organized and ex-
listing for the purpose of furtherng automo-
billing and for ameliorating the condition of
oppressed motorists to step in and accom-
plish this much to- be desired end. Which
will be the first to come to the rescue?

RAMBLER AGENCY IS
DOING BIG BUSINESS
JUNE. PROMISES TO BREAK ALL
RECORDS
Representatives Expect to Cut Down
Nelson's White Time and to Go
After Mark Set by
Renton

I'VE have already done more bust
ness in the month Of June" said w. K.
Cowan yesterday, than we have since
April 1906, which was for long time
our banner month.
I'm May business was a trifie slack,
but last April was the best month up
to that time for the preceding twelve
months.
July Is promising to be better than
June, so we are very much encouraged
over the present outlook. We have just
received two loads of cars, most of
which are sold already, and next Mon
day we hope to receive another carload
that has been reported past Arizona"
When asked If the Rambler would be
sent after Renton's record to San Diego
Mr.. Cowan said that undoubtedly 1t
would be attempted after they had an
nexed the Nelson cup for the San Fran
cisco run. I'VE will try for that
again. he said. land hope to have bet
ter luck this time. The running time
of the Rambler roadster that Mr.. Har-
vey drove showed that the time made
by Nelson's White can be cut down APP
probably, If good luck prevails. 1t Is a
matter of keeping running now to get
that record, and we feel that we can do
that. as every trip makes the drivers
better acquainted with road condi-
tions."
The first seven passenger touring cars
of the 1909 model will be received soon,
and orders for the new Ramblers will
be booked.
Among the persons to whom Rambler
cars have been sold recently Mr.. Cowan
reports the following deliveries:
George Murdoch, fully equipped tour
ing car, four-cylinder; Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company, special equipped
car; j. F. Leftwich of Inglewood, four
