UNP0PULARITY OF CHAIN
DRIVEN CARS UNMERITED

One of the wel1-known automobile
manufacturers makes the following
prediction: mo car claiming to be OF
the highest grade and quality can in
the future be successfully marketed
with chain-drive mechanism"
Although we have no interest in any
special kind of car or mechanism, moth
ing is hazarded in saying that it is yet
to be demonstrated that the shaft drive
is superior. all things considered. to
the chain drive. In the matter of looks
and cleanliness the shaft drive has the
advantage, but as means of power
transmission nothing has yet been
found that equals the chain drive. Its
advantage where little power is re-
quired may not be of any consequence.
but where subjected to great strain
it causes much less friction than the
shaft drive.
Ask any machinist and he will state
emphatically that when a great strain
is put upon gears the tendency of the
gears to fly apart is enormous and pro-
duces much friction. On the other
hand, no matter how much pull is put
upon the chain and sprocket, the fric-
ton is very little increased.
At present the proportion of chain
to shaft drives is about as three to
four, with a tendency to still further
displace chains for shafts, but this as
far more due to public demand than to
actual merit.

COMPARES FOREIGN
AND AMERICAN CARS
CLAIMS IMPORTED STEELS
ARE SUPERIOR
Two Adverse Opinions Are offered by
Representative Men with conelu-
sion in Favor Of Home
Product

Here is a comparison between Amer
lean and foreign cars by Mr.. Hollander
of the Fiat car:
America, with it's tendency to con-
solfdation in all its large manufactur-
ing industries, has formed such gigan-
tic corporations that we see in the steel
industry today concerns with huge
capital seeking only the largest orders.
our large steel companies, accustomed
as they are to receiving orders Tor
several hundred thousand tons Of steel
rails or armor plate, disdain an ORDER
for fifty or a hundred tons OF specially
allowed steel for the use of any auto
mobile factory, as it would not pay
them to run one of their enormous
plants for a short period of time Tor
fine production Of so small an orost.
That such alloys cannot be MADE IN
America is not claimed, but that these
huge corporations are unWilllng 10
momentarily stop the production OF I'M
ming through these small. and to a
certain extent experimental, ones, Is
plainly evident.
''It was early recognized that these
unusual conditions called for special
materials, and the greatest metallur-
gists in Europe and the foremost pro-
ducers of steel Immediately applied
themselves to the manufacture of new
allows suitable to the new require
ments Furthermore, the steel plants
in Europe were willing and anxious,
through a desire to foster and encour-
age the new industry in their respec-
tive countries, to produce these ma
terials in however small quantities the
automobile builder may have de-
manded.
an spite of all statements to Sthe
contrary, it is undeniable that Europe
| still is building its motor cars of ma
terials far superior to anything used
in this country, with the possible ex-
ception of cars using materials of for
eign origin. Our manufacturers here
may deny this statement in public, but
there is not one of them who is not
fully aware Of it himself, and who does
not recognize it when discussing the
question with his own co-worlSers and
confidants."
| Here is comparison made by Alfred
Reeves of the A. NJ. c. M. A:
"Since the automobile came into
popular favor in this country 1t has
been a case of the public feeling that
the foreign machine was in every way
superior to that made at home. In

to get permission to use the roads for
a course.
There is no part of the course but
which has lateral roads nearby, which
could easily take care of all traffic that
was DETECTED with little, If any, added
distance.
None of the road is unused, and to
put it in shape would be of lasting
benefit to the community at large, as
all of 1t is we'll travelled.
The scenic beauties are hard to sur
pass, as the whole course is laid in one
of the garden spots of the country,
and the roads are lined from end to
end with beautiful palms and trees.
Orange groves which are situated
on the north. east and south sides of
the course would appeal strongly to
the tourists, and they would have am
pie opportunity to see the race from
many vantage points, and the inter-
urban street car service, past the north
side of the course, has nothing to sur
pass 1t on any of the Huntington lines.
The Pasadena, Monrovia, Sierra
Madre and Alhambra lines would be
feeders for the grandstand, and all
could unload passengers within few
hundred yards of the proposed grand
stand location.
AS to railway crossing, the route is
very favorable; more so, perhaps, than
any other course that can be found
with anywhere near the advantages
the Alhambra course presents.
Railway Crossings Are Safe
There are two crossings of the main
line of the Southern Pacific railroad,
but neither of them are dangerous and
might be bridged If necessary Then
there is the Pasadena branch that must
be crossed on the Huntington drive,
but very infrequent service is on that
line, with possibility of suspension
during the race. prevents that from be
Ing serious drawback. The only
other crossing would be the Monrovia
branch of the Southern Pacific, and
the same conditions are to be found
there as on the Pasadena line.
The street railway line traverses the
course only at one place and that is
near the finish. Service could easily
be suspended there, and passengers
could be transferred by overhead bridge
at small expense.
The course is in the heart of the
San Gabriel valley, with the best of
transportation facilities and with
ground on either side of the finish
that is vacant and doubtless could be
leased to make the grandstand profit
able.
The Huntington boulevard would al
low thousands of motor cars to line
up on the north drive without inter-
fering with the course at all. All traffic
from Pasadena could reach the grand
stand without crossing the course but
once, as could the traffic from Los An
geles.
The entire course would be 14.8 miles
in length, with six right-angle turns.
All other curves could be taken at full
speed.
With stock cars it should be pos
sible to make the circuit in less than
twenty minutes, and with a race for
200 miles it easily could be run off
either in a forenoon or an Afternoon.
Other prospective courses will be in
spected and reports made from time to
time in the Los Angeles Herald, as

FARMERS IN SESSION
HoTLY SCORE MOTORISTS

The New Jersey Changers. at their
convention at Atlantic City last Thurs
day, spent a considerable portion of
their time on the motorists. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that the punish
ment for scorching was not sufficiently
severe to fit the crime, and charges
were made that the cost of state road
construction had been increased by the
use of fiat-top specifications, whereas
crowned roads would not only cost less
to maintain but would give better SER
vice. 1t was broadly intimated that
the former specifications had been
adopted in several instances through
the influence exerted by prominent mo-
florists and incidentally several of the
Grange leaders were lectured for par
ticipating in the recent love feast en-
gineered bv the New Jersey clubs, mo-
tor transportation to and from the said
symposium having been provided by
the latter to many of the "big smoke
agriculturists, who were given the time
of their lives.

During the last few days the list Of
contestants entered for The Calls s2o.-

IL has overstepped the space allotted for
it in the paper. This necessitates one
OF two courses, either leave out the list
entirely or publish only the honor roll
except in the Sunday issue. when the
whole list can be set forth. Owing to
the great strife to be numbered among
those in the honor roll the latter plan
has been deemed advisable and those
who send in their names as nominees
will see them appear Sunday unless in
the meantime they reach the honor roll
by turning In 100 votes or more to the
contest department
