CHANGES MADE
IN NEWARK AUTO
FIRMS PERSONNEL
Packard and St0ddard- Dayton
Concern Have New
Employees.

Several notable changes occurred
along automobile row this week, in
which the local arrangements of the
Packard and Stoddard- Dayton cars
were affected.
Gilbert U. Herdette, who has been
in charge of the Packard interests in
Newark for the past year, retired from
the Packard agency and Joined forces
with C. j. McShane in the manage
ment of the Atlantic Motor Car Com
pany on Halsey street, taking the place
of F. Cleland, who, it is understood,
will move to New York and in all
probability retire from the automobile
business.
To take Mr.. Burdette's place at the
head of the Packard Company's branch
on Branford place, c. Louis Fitzgerald,
of New York, has been secured, and the
new manager entered upon his duties
last Thursday.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has had considerable
experience in the motor car sales bust
ness and the large interests of the
Packard car are in safe hands, while
by the acquisition of Mr.. Burdette the
Atlantic Motor Car Company has
gained a hustling, experienced and
practical man who knows the trade
thoroughly.

AUTO LAWS SLOW IN
MAKING AT TRENTON

Automobile legislation at Trenton is
progressing slowly. although what has
already been accomplished is satisfac-
tory to the motoring fraternity, and it
is hoped that the various bills intro
duced In the interests of the motor
vehicle drivers will soon be enacted into
law.
The Bradley Senate bill, which passed
the House on Tuesday, gives the motor
lists a more liberal speed limit in the
open country, putting h maximum at
rs miles per- hour. 1t also practically
does away with the speed traps by re-
ducing the fees of the justices of the
peace to such a small figure that it
will hardly pay some of these gentle
men to continue the petty prosecutions
heretofore inflicted upon. the long-suf-
fering autoist.
The automobile bill will have to go
back to the House, owing to some minor
changes necessary, but there is every
hope of it's finally becoming a law in the
amended form.
This week should show some definite
n substantial results in the way Of
automobile legislation.

At HEAD
Of SOCIETY TO
CURB SPEED MANIA
Rich Men Organize Against
Reckless Chauffeurs and "JOy
Riding" in Autos.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Stirred by the
frequency of 'automobile murder and
the apparent inability of the police to
curb reckless chauffeurs and 10y
riders" New York men ave organized
the National Highway Protective Asso-
citation in an endeavor to bring about
a reform. Henry Clews, the banker,
has been selected as president of the
association. Several thousand dollars
have peer subscribed to carry on the
work and appeals for further financial
aid will be made through the Chamber
of Commerce and other organizations.
An important part of the campaign
will be the placing OF special officers
in thoroughfares used by automobiles
whose duty it will be to note and re-
port at once reckless driving or vio-
lations of the speed laws. 1t is hoped
that the movement will be of national
scope and that the organization will
be extended to other cities.
The objects of the new association
are outlined as follows:
The prosecution of all offenders
| against the traffic laws; the ~organiza-
ton of a detective force to get evil
dence of such violations; the passage
of legislation making an owner re-
sponsible for injury that may be in
f1icted by his automobile, no matter
who is running It; the keeping of q
card index system of all violatora,
whether arrested or not, showing the
! character of each offense reported by
the detectives of the association; the
extension of the organization to all
parts of the country.

LOCOMOB|LE IS
WINNER IN A
l50-M|LE RACE
Old Motor Rivals Meet in
Contest to Decide
Supremacy.

During the past year there has been
considerable rivalry manifested among
the automobile dealers of the Pacific
Coast, and several contests have been
held by the agents for the various
makes of cars.
Last year a stock car race was held
between cars of various makes. which
the cars entered. Through various
causes, as previously reported in these
columns, this race was declared off, and
as the desire of the agents for a test
race continued, a match was arranged
between the representatives of the Lo-
comobile and Stearns cars, which
proved to be Of great interest to all au-
tomobilists of the West.
The race took place at Ascot Park,
Los Angeles, on the same course over
which the 24-hour race was run last
October. The contest was pulled off on
Sunday, March 2S, the distance being
$50 miles, the two cars competing be-
ing q 40-horsepower Locomobile n a
60-horsepower Stearns.
Both machines were regular stock
cars, the Locomobile having a cylinder
bore of 5 inches and the Stearns being
SIS inches. Murray Page, the San
Francisco representative of the Loco
mobile Company, was at the wheel OF
the Locomobile with his mechanician
Mr.. Levitt, owner of stock a No. PTS
The driver of the Stearns was Mr.. Sew
ell, Pacific Coast manager of the
Ssearns COMPANY.
As the race had been talked of fol
some months past, 1t created a great
daal of interest, and fully 10000 per
sons witnessed the contest, which was
declared to be the most consistent per
Torrance ever held on the Pacific
Coast.
The engines of the cars did not stor
during the $50 miles and, after an ex-
citing race, the Locomobile came II
ahead of it's competitor by 21s miles.

MAGNITUDE OF AUTO BUSINESS.

Few people realize h tremendous
quantity of raw material used by d
large automobile concern: nor Is this
material confined to metals and those
materials ordinarily associated with
motor cars.
To give an idea of the size of this
business the Maxwell Briscoe Motor
Company is soliciting bids on material
for the building of II, 900 cars, Among
the articles enumerated are 200 tons of
aluminium castings. $50 tons of brass
castings. The babbit metal that goes
into the bearings alone is in excess of
fifty louisville the brass tubing that
Is used so extensively in automobile
construction figures up something like

HALSEY ST. IMPROVEMENTS

FL .HM
Motorists were extremely pleased this
the asphalt pavement in Halsey street.
This street. which contains the homes
Of a goodly proportion of the different
motor car agencies, and is crowded with
automobilists every day. has been
neglected so long by the city authori-
ties that it contained more ruts and
holes than level places and has been
for some time a source of great annoy
ence to the auto drivers. When the
asphalt repairs are completed motor
lists will breathe a sigh of relief and
satisfaction.
There are some other streets in the
city that should be looked after also,
now that the good work has been
started. ;

Uplift Plan Among Girl Workers Fails

drous OPT lortunity to be improved,
and struck speechless at the thought
OF having such great ladies' take an
interest in them. decided that 1t would
be necessary to give the bureau girls
some especial opportunities to get
used to the overpowering thought. So
1t was proposed that some Of the
young women should be invited 10 visit
some of their benefactresses in the
homes of the latter and learn how 1t
was all done, observe the method of
eating ice cream with fork and
taking soup out of the side Of the
spoon, and such like correct little
wrinkles.
Somehow this didn't much appeal to
the girls, either; they rather opined
that their table manners were good
enough. and didn't Yeel the need of be.
ing further impressed with the splen.
dor of being patronized by ladies who
used gold dinner services.
But the federation committee worked
away earnestly. and finally the explo.
sion came. The committee found so
OF the women in the bureau would
have to be dropped out of the service
before the moral average would be
raised to the point where contact with
the federated benefactresses could be
established at all.
That settled 1t. Every woman and
girl in the bureau resolved herself
into an indignation meeting. 1t was
what all had been expecting. they de.
clared. Those society women who
wanted to convert working women
into butterflies. of course. couldn't un.

enough. but really they could hardly
