FACTORY FINISHED AND
TURNS OUT FIRST CAR

It seems scarcely any time since
Vice President Fairbanks officiated at
the corner stone laying of the Maxwell
Rriscoe factory at Newcastle, Ind.
and. in fact, it was only few months
ago: vet last week the first complete
automobile was shipped from the plant
having been built in it's entirety there.
This plant, which covers eight acres
of ground, is one of the most modern IN
construction and highly specialized as
To fool equipment in the world, and 1t
is capable of turning out finished au-
tomobiies every part of which-except
tires-has been made on the ground.
There Is the significance OF the above
mentioned incident. While several nun
bred cars have been assembled at the
Newcastle plant since its erection only
certain parts had been made there, the
other parts having been turned out or
three other Maxwell plants--at larry
town. Pawtucket and Chicago.
From now on each plant VIII devote
itself exclusively to the manufacture
of one model, and that in its entirety
the light runabout models at Paw
tucket. r. l., the four-cylinder, 28
horsepower touring car at Tarrytown
and at Newcastle will be made the
popular two-cylinder model H roadster
and touring car. This will enable each
plant to work to better advantage and
will effect a very considerable economy
in time and money heretofore lost In
the transportation of parts between
the different factories.

FIND SCHEME FOR
WARNING AUT0ISTS
Drivers Well Pleased with Idea, and
American Associations May Be
Asked to Recommend
Continuance

Partisan automobilists are to be pro-
tected hereafter from persecution by
the police, according to commune
cation received by the American Mo-
tor Car manufacturers association
from it's foreign representative, A. E.
Schwartz of Paris and Berlin.
The plan to protect automobiles was
conceived by members Of the General
Automobile Association of Paris, and
comprises a squad of bicycle policemen
hired for the sole purpose of notifying
drivers who are exceeding speed linn
its or whose rear lights have become
extinguished.
The Paris association says the ma
jority of arrests are made because
drivers do not realize they are vio-
lating any regulations, and for this
reason the mounted police will be
great service to tourists.
Not only will the French drivers be
protected. but any automobilist,
whether he be French or foreign, will
be warned by the police when he is
breaking any speed laws.
These men are to be provided with
sticks similar to the regular police
man . ohiJS ooC "AASil CON 70 OPSiiSN
like a fan and upon which will appear
as required these signals: Ralentir (Go
slower), fumee (smoke), and lanterne
damp.
The first will be used in case the
driver is exceeding the speed regula-
tons; the second when the motor is
issuing too much smoke and the third
when a lamp has gone out.
Certainly this is an admirable idea,
and I believe that If automobile clubs
in the large American cities should
emulate this idea much good would
be accomplished from 1t.
II a powerful and influential organi-
cation like the Automobile Club of
America would support a similar squad
in New York 1t would mean a lessen
ing of arrests and the persecution by
the police would be minimized.

LIMOUSINES COMING
INTO GREATER FAVOR
Nearly One-Third Of Output Of One
Manufacturer Are Equipped with
Limousine Bodies-Reearded
as Encouraging Sign

Nearly one-third 1919 out of the 727
motor cars of the 1908 model already
delivered by the Packard Motor Car
company, have been equipped with
limousine bodies. This is a remarkable
demonstration of the growing use of the
automobile as an all-the-year vehicle
to replace the horse-drawn carriage. 1t
Is an encouraging sign In the automo-
bile trade that such a large portion OF
the Packard sales should have been OF
cars with inclosed bodies. The condi-
ton shows that people who are buying
these cars expect to remain motorists
and are buying for comfort, utility
and style as we'll as for sport. Many Of
them have both touring and limousine
bodies, as the Packard limousine Is
interchangeable with the touring car
body on the same chassis. A peculiar
ity of this advanced limousine trade is
the attention which is paid to the
tastes and wishes of women, either as
direct purchasers or on account of
their influence in the selection of cars.
The modern limousine must not only
furnish protection against inclement
weather, but it must be a thing Of
beauty. Its appointment to the smallest
detail must be above reproach. Even
the ultrafashionable horse-drawn car
rage is no criterion; the buyer ex-
poets greater refinement in a new
limousine motor car than in any horse
carriage. The wonderful measure of
success which has been attained by the
limousine OF such companies as the
Packard Is clear evidence of the SUI
premacy and importance Of this type
in the field of high-class town car
riageS.

ST. VlNCENTS WIN BY
Overwhelming SCORE
Picked Baseball Team of High School
PLAYERS Prove Easy Victims
for the Fast Irish
Aggregation

The st. Vincent high school team
added another to its string of VIC
tories yesterday afternoon by complete
lv overwhelming an all-star team Sc
lected from the various high schools
of Southern California. The final score
was 10 to 2.
The Saints completely outbatted and
outplayed the stars from start TO nm
ish.
Couts. who pitched six innings for
the Saints, struck out fourteen men,
and Cunningham, who replaced him
in the seventh, struck out five. Darmel,
who pitched for the all stars, was I'M
able to stem the tide of the heavy
hitting Saints and was bounced Tor
fourteen safeties. Workman and Phil
lips played a star game and figured
high In the Saints hit column, each
getting four hits from five times at
bat.
The all-stars made the first score OF
the game on walk, hit and an err
ror. After this period the Saints came
to life and realized that runs were
needed to win a game and scored one
In the last of the same inning.
The balloon ascension came in the
fifth inning. By five clean hits, assist
ed by errors, the Saints managed to
put five men across the rubber before
the stars found their feet.
The stars scored their second and
last run in the eighth. With one man
on base Harlan knocked long fly to
Bourg in center, who muffed, and a
star crossed the plate as Bourg raced
with the ball.
The Saints scored three more in the
eighth by a succession of hits.

AUTO MEN LAUGH
AT NEW NONSTOP
RUNS ONLY ON SMOOTH CITY
STREETS
Affair VIII Prove Nothing of Value
as to Merits of Car, as Trial
Is Not on Road Con-
ditlons

1t has remained for a Los Angeles
dealer in we'll known line Of cars to
inaugurate a new sort of endurance
test" The name would suggest such a
contest as has been made before, but
an investigation shows at the outset
that for novelty and the possibility OF
large chunks of free advertising the
| local mans stunt has all of the others
backed away back and still pressing
them hard.
A nonstop" run suggests to the
mind of the average motorist run on
which all sorts of road conditions are
encountered-at least such as would be
encountered in touring the territory
where the run was pulled off; but the
| local mans run has that beaten bad.
He aims to keep the engine running
for hours and hours, and the car runs
| too for hours and hours, but there Is
| difference between the hous and the
hours. In one case the running Is con-
| tinuous; that Is, in the case OF the
motor. In the other case the running
| Is intermittent, and very much SO; that
| is, in the case of the car.
| A car that Is driven around town on
asphalt pavements should not need to
have the motor stop any more tnan q
car that Is standing quietly in the
garage. But take car across tne
| country and ford q rev STREAMS, cliiuU
the hills that are encountered on every
Southern California road, pass the traI-
| fc that is met with on narrow roads
where to turn out means to pull
through sand or soft ground sometimes
hub Deep fight the way through mud
| holes and then IL the motor keeps run
ming for hour after hour and the car
Iis also run a considerable percentage
of those same hours 1t Is nonstop
run, creditable to both the car and TO
the driver. =,
] Just how long a gasoline motor would
run with a sufficient supply of gasoline
and lubricating oil is a question. There
| is little doubt that it would run until
SO badly worn that 1t was all out of
adjustment. Such a run would demon
strate the wearing quality of the en-
CINE, but would not tell much about
| the efficiency of the machine as vehi-
Gle Of travel.
1t would seem more honest to put the
car in question In the show window
and let it run than to put 1t on the
street and placard 1t as nonstop run,
| when the general public thinks OF q
non-stop run as an actual endurance
contest that demonstrates the efficiency
of the car In all of it's parts under many
varied conditions.
AS a means of keeping the name or
the we'll known dealer and the car ne
sells before the public, the nonstop
run is a good scheme, but as a real
nonstop run, ut is to laugh"

MAKES RECORD IN SAND
WITH GREAT SMITH CAR
Automobile Goes Through the Same
Stretch of Sand In Two Hours
That Delayed New York to
Paris Car Two
Days

| 1. o. Arms, who recently bought a
Great Smith car for use in Nevada on
a stage line, made record in crossing
six-mile sandy stretch that puts that
of the French tranScOntinental car to
shame.
Mr.. Arms had not driven the car more
than ten miles before he left for Ne
vada, and 1t was not anticipated that
| he could get the best results on account
of unfamiliarity with the machine, but
when he struck the sandy stretch he
| got through in two hours, while 1t hung
the French car up for two days.
| In Slate canyon the going was very
bad, but the grade was negotiated in
fine shape. In distance Of a mile in
an air line the road drops 1000 feet, but
| the brakes of the car held beautifully.
The advantages of the conical faced
brakes on the Great Smith never showed
| I'D to better advantage than on this
grade, as 1t Is very steep In places. In
many places in the road that was trav-
eled the ruts from the heavy borax
wagons were from a foot to eighteen
inches deep and frequently the motor
lists had to get out and fill them up with
rocks and dirt to get enough clearance
for the car to pass over.
Another Great Smith car will leave
for Nevada in a few days to engage in
the stage business. The car belongs
to Professor A. M. Smith of Pomona
college and will be operated by his
brother when 1t reaches Searchlight,
where it is to go into service. The car
has been run 10000 miles in less than a
year and has now only the second pair
of tires on the rear, and they are In
excellent shape. The original pair of
Goodrich shoes ran for $4,000 miles,
which speaks we'll for the tire, but
much more so for the car. AS tires are
the main expense in the up keep Of a
motor car 1t seems that it Is economy
to operate a Great Smith, which Is re-
markablY easy on tires.

CHANGE IN PROGRAM
IN BIG AUTO CONTEST
New York AdVices Say Cars May Be
Shipped from Seattle to VIadl-
vostok, then Across
Siberia
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-A change of
program in the New YORK to Paris au-
tomobile race is likely to occur, ac-
cording to advices received here. The
American car, which was far in the
lead, has found the snow fields of
Alaska an impossible barrier to fur
Their progress in that direction, and is
therefore returning from Valdez to
Seattle.
The French and italian machines are
also on their way to Seattle by
steamer, but they are bound up in the
south, having reached San Francisco
only few days ago, hundreds of miles
behind the American car The posi-
bility of such a change of plans was
foreseen some time ago by the direc-
tors of the long race when the cars
were so greatly delayed by the excep-
tional weather conditions encountered
in the United States.
It was feared that the Alaskan ter
ritory might be found impossible at
the approach of warm weather, and
two weeks ago an agreement was made
that. in such an event, the leading
cars would make the trip by an alter
native route.
This plan provides that the machines
shall go as far as possible over the
original route and then sail from Seat
tie for Vladivostok and then proceed
by land across Siberia and Europe to
their destination.

OLDSMOBILE ROADSTER
is FIRST TO ARRIVE
Harry Harrison Proudly Displays a
Beautiful M odel Which Has Gained
Reputation as Pacemaker
In East

Harry Harrison has just received and
is proudly displaying a beautiful 'OS
Oldsmobile roadster, the first one to
come to this city.
The car has already attained a repu-
tation as a pacemaker in the east, and
the lines of the body express speed and
lots of it.
The chassis is the same as in the
touring car, the motor developing from
40 to As horsepower.
Four cylinders are used, having a
bore of Az inches and strike OF 4%
inches. The cylinders are cast in pairs
of gray iron and have a compression
of 65 pounds to the square inch.
All valves and valve stems are iden-
tical and interchangeable, the heads
of the valves being made of cast iron,
which is threaded, riveted and brazed
to the stem, which are of machine
steel.
One good feature of the car is the
ease with which the engine can be re-
moved and replaced in the frame. The
whole motor lifts from the base of the
crank case, leaving it undisturbed, in
surfing the correct placing of the motor
when it is put back in the frame.
The oiling system is so arranged that
no piping is necessary, thereby obviat-
ing a frequent source Of trouble in
many cars.
A jump spark ignition system is used
with storage battery and dry cells to
furnish the current.
The workmanship throughout the car
is especially good and the appearance
classes with the best that is turned
out.
The Oldsmobile already has an envi-
able reputation in Southern California
and the sales of the present season are
proof that it still is one of the popu-
lar cars with the motoring public this
