DETROIT PROVIDES
A GLIDDEN TROPHY
Unusual Action Taken by Council
Without Ordinary Formally
of Sending 1t to Com.
mittee

DETROIT, May IA remarkable Of
fcial action has been taken by the
authorities of Detroit with regard to
the 1909 touring contest for the Glidden
and Hover trophies. This action is the
appropriation of money from the city's
funds for trophy presented in the
same of the city.
When it was decided that the tour
should start from Detroit the manufac-
turers of that city pledged fifteen en-
tries, and the board of commerce want
ed to donate prize for the winner in
the toy tonneau class Mayor Brett
meyer requested that the business men
defer action for a while and they did
so. The reason for the mayors request
became apparent when Chairman
Frank b. Hover received the other day
a notification that instead of the toy
tonneau trophy coming from the mer-
chants, the city of Detroit had appro-
priated $3.50 for the purchase of the
prize for the winner in this class. Con-
trary to the usual procedure, the mat
ter of appropriation was not referred
to any committee, but was unanimous
ly voted by the council A committee
headed by the mayor was appointed to
purchase the trophy, which will be
known as the Detroit cup.
Entries for the Glidden tour will
close May Is this year, which is I'M
usually early, but the inducement of
the contest is much greater than ever
before, and Chairman Hover has now
in hand quite a lot of paid-up entries
of cars of all sizes, with many more
that are most positively pledged like
those of the Detroit makers, and which
surely will be entered.

TWENTY-NINE STATES
IN NATIONAL BODY

Two new state associations were
added to the membership of the Amerl-
can Automobile association at the
executive committee meeting held April
n at national headquarters, 437 Firth
avenue, New York. These new states
were Utah and Iowa, formed, re-
spectively, by the admission of the
Utah Automobile club and the Iowa
State Automobile association. These
additions give the national association
twenty-nine affiliated state organiza-
tions. Besides this, the Adams County
Motor club of Natchez, Miss, and the
Montgomery Automobile association of
Montgomery, Ala, were elected as UNI
federated clubs, together with the an
nouncement that plans are already UNI
der way to form state associations IN
Mississippi and Alabama.
In view of the fact that the western
automobiles prefer to hold a local
stock car race for the Cobe trophy,
originally presented by Ira M. Cobe of
Chicago, under deed of gift to the A.
A. A., and which was accepted for a
national chassis race at the March
meeting of the directors, the request
of the donor to withdraw his prize for
such purpose was accepted.
The subject of the second annuel A.
A. A. good roads and legislative con-
vention was discussed and Chairman
George C. Diehl reported that he ex-
pected to name the city and the time
for this years convention at an early
date. Such good results were attained
through the convention last year that
ii is expected the convention this year
win attract a larger representation of
good roads students throughout the
country.

Pending the building of new sales

line of Auburn and Premier cars are to

This company has recently taken the
agency for the Auburn line and sub
agencies are being established in
Southern California towns. A shipment
Of Auburns was received last week, and
both models of this popular car and
also a stripped chassis are being shown
at the new salesroom. The two-cylin-
der Auburn is as popular as ever. This
is the model which made the run from
San Francisco to Los Angeles in 20
hours and Sc minutes Only one gaso-
line car ever beat that record.
The new Auburn is the four-cylinder.

$780, This is a stylish, we'll made ma

NEW YORK HAS
NEW AUTO LAW
EFFORTS OF YEARS REACH A
HAPPY END
HUGHES FORCES LAWS PASSAGE
BY EMERGENCY MESSAGE
Joy Riding and Fast Speeding Evils
Are Expected to Be MinImIzed
by Terms of New

The Aids amn bill to amend the
highway law by substituting for ar
ticle IL (the present motor vehicle law
new motor vehicle law, was on Fri
day, April %. unanimously passed by
the senate of New York. It's passage
at this time was made possible by an
emergency message from Governor
Hughes. 1t is understood that the bill
Just passed will come up for consid-
Grafton in the assembly Monday even
ing and that no serious objection will
be interposed thereto. Should it pass
at that time it will become law with
in few days, and will go into effect
on the first day of July. In its present
form the bill is somewhat changed
from draft printed in the newspapers
last week. -
The new state highway commission
will be charged with the duties of the
provision in place Of the secretary of
state, as now. Registration fee win
be annually 81 for vehicles under 20
horse power, Sc for those between 20
and 80 horse power and $40 for those
of 80 horse power and over. No fees
will be required of owners who oper-
ate their own cars, but chauffeurs,
whether of private or commercial We
hicles, will be required to pay an an
nual fee of IS each All moneys col
lected will be kept in a separate fund
in the treasury OF the state and be
annually appropriated for the mainte-
nance of improved highways. Two
features about which there have been
some disagreements have been finally
settled, as follows: First, the common
law rule of the road, which permits
such speed as is reasonable and proper
and makes a driver liable only in case
he so drives to endanger the life, limb
or property of another, will hereafter
be the rule In New York state. Sec
ond nonresident motorists will be per-
mitted to use New York roads with
out registration in this state, provided
their state laws require registration
for Identification and they display
their state number on their car. New
Workers, however, will not be allowed
to register under the laws of other
states and use New York roads on
such registration.
The penalties are not essentially diff
ferent from those under the present
law. EXCEPT for the using of or tam
pering with vehicle without the own
er's consent, for which a person so
using or tampering may be punished
by a fine, Imprisonment or deprivation
of the right to use the road for six
months, or any or all of such penal
ties. 1t is thought that this provision
will put an end to the joy-riding evil.
This bill is the result of campaign
covering several years, conducted by
the New York State Automobile as
ISOLATION and the American Automo-
bile association, and so far as is
known has the approval of all auto
mobile interests as well as of the lead
ers of the Legislature and thinking men
generally.

SPEED WITH SAFETY is
EXCUSE FOR N0N-SKIDS
Local Manager caIbetzor of Firestone
Explains Causes of Popularity
of His Tires

The great desire of city motorists
for speed with safety on slippery streets
is the underlying cause of the unprece-
dented demand for non-skid tires, ac-
cording to G.. C. Calbetzor, the local
Firestone manager.
Safety to occupants as well as pc
destrains," said he, depends solely up
on the amount of control driver has
over his car. No man whose time is
valuable wishes to crawl along at a
snaiPs pace any more than he wants
to travel too fast and risk accident.
'"The positive control against side
slipping on wet payements which the
Firestone non-slSid tires insures over
our regular round treads, appeals very
strongly to city owners Of cars"

test committee should penalize for tire

test committee should penalize for tire
troubles.
1t is a well known fact that a large
percentage of the stoppages on tour
of this kind are attributed directly to
tire trouble. 1t seems strange, there
fore, in view of the great Importance
of tire equipment, that the contest
committee should not consider tire
service in connection with automobile
efficiency as a whole.
Penalties for tire weaknesses would
inevitably tend to raise the prevailing
standard of tire service. Mr. Firestone
believes that if the contest committee
We're to penalize for tire trouble it
would help to establish the relative
service-life of various tires, and thus
add a new value to the Glidden tour.
