now found in all first-class automobiles.
Many men built many motors, and
differed much as to details. Therefore
1t is not strange that the "Rutenber."
built by one of the oldest and largest
automobile motor building concerns in
the world, should become the worlds
leading motor, and should have been
used by many of the most popular cars
of this country to establish a reputa-
tion for power and ease of control.
This company, devoting all OF its ener-
gies to the perfecting of the motor
alone, and building vastly more of them
than any car building company, natur-
ally surpassed other motor builders,
particularly as they soon learned to
avoid such mistakes as cylinders cast
in pairs or en- bloc, short stroke, valves
in the head, ball bearings or few bear
ings on the crank-shaft and the many
other economical features of construc-
ton which tend to shorten the life and
restrict the efficiency of an engine, even
though they make 1t cheaper to build.
The latest and best motor produced
up to the present time is the $3.50
horsepower "Rutenber," found in the
1910 Lexington and other leading Amer
lean cars.
The Lexington is a particularly good
specimen of up-to-date motor car con-
struction. and worthy of study, as 1t

in general use on 60-horsepower cars,
and will wear indefinitely on a 3200-
pound car, whose flexible motor never
develops more than SO horsepower. This
is particularly desirable and much more
satisfactory than the many cars that
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

use large, rough motors with driving
gears too small to stand the strain Oh
moving the cumbersome vehicles.
The Lexington has, also, that mos'
successful clutch, the large leathel
serts. This type of clutch is rapidly
displacing the plain leather-faced cone,
the inverted cone, the expanding ring
and the multiple disc.

THE PERFECTED CAR
Written for The Herald by
Il. JR, BENNETT

For nearly a century the mind OF
man has been graphing with the many
questions arising from his desire to
construct a practical and economical
mechanically operated vehicle, but It Is
within comparatively recent years that
he has achieved some measure of sue
cess, and only during the past year that
the perfected car has been within reach
of the buying public.
After the various inventors and build
ers Of castles in the air had spent
years In endeavoring to force upon a
reluctant public vehicles operated by
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

be in keeping with the expensive me-
cbanical features of the car.
This car is built in seven-passenger
touring, four-passenger close-coupled
body, and the regulation three-passen-
ger roadster, and the selling figures are
such as to prove that the day of the
oyerpriced under-powered car Is passed.
The Lexington people are building,
also, a 40-horsepower car of the same
quality to appear in five-passenger
touring, four-passenger demi-tonneau
and three-passenger roadster.
There are now many cars on the mar
ket that appeal to the eye and are
durable and satisfactory. The Lexing-
ton was specified because 1t seemed to
have incorporated in its construction
more of the latest and best features
than any other car.

A NEW KIND OF POLITICAL PARTNERSHIP
THE combination of the forces Of
Langdon and Haines did moi
find much favor among the
! powers that are-at the capital
Senator Peabody peremptorily demand
ed an explanation from Stevens as to
how he had allowed "his senator to
engage as his secretary this inquisi
tive man Haines, reporter who didn't
know his place."
"Here we've put Langdon on naval
affairs because we knew be didn't I'M
derstand what's geing On, and you
Stevens, supposed to be the finished
product Of the political mill. you fall
asleep and let him take up a man
whom nobody can control. one who
knows the inside workings Of Wash
Ington and who will take particular
pleasure in teaching your fellow Mis-
sissippian far too much for our good"
Stevens reply, to effect that prob
ably Haines would consent to be "tak.
IN care Of" if judiciously approached,
was derided by the observant Pea
body. "a young reformer grows fat
on notoriety," he laughed, "and think
what a scandal he would have for his
newspaper II we took chance on dis
closing our hand to him. No. no, Ste
vens; we must have him watched and
try to discredit him in some way. Per
haps We can make Langdon believe
that his secretary Is dishonest"
Congressman Norton was another
man who was dismayed at the forma-
ton Of the firm Of Langdon and Hams.
Young Randolph, too, could not forget
the defeat and humiliation he had pre-
vious,y suffered at Haines' hands and
grew more bitter as the reporters In
fuence over bis father grew stronger.
But Haines' most effective enemy had
arisen in the person he would be the
last to suspect, one whom he unceas-
ingly admired, one whose very words
he had come to cherish. And possibly
it was not all her own fault that Caro-
lima Langdon had enlisted her services,
subtle and quite overwhelming lowing
to Haines' fervent worship Of herr
against the secretary. Perhaps the So
cial system Of which she had become a
part In Washington had something to
do with the craving to become leader
in that fascinating world whose daz-
zling variety and infinite diversion
seemed to I'll her soul with all that it
yearned for. Love she had. for she
bad now promised to wed Congress
man Norton. She loved him fondly;
she had confessed to him, and gradu-
ally she came to work desperately
against Haines. who, she had been
convinced by Norton and Randolph,
would prove stumbling block to them,
to her father, to herself in her career

senator should be permitted to exist or

schemes Of those who were adroitly
playing the game" He could bother,
too. the intriguing members Of the

called. He could direct a lightning
bolt into the camp of Andy Corrigan,
who claimed the honor of being

thoughts crowded into his mind. Then,

murmured half aloud; next thing to
being senator"
The old Mississippian heard the
young mans words.
II reckon 1t would" he drawled In
agreement.
You feel sure you want me?" urged
the other.
Langdon chuckled.
II asked you," he said.
Haines came abruptly to decision.
"I've thought it over, senator, and 1t
