THOMAS FLYER GETS
NEW COLORADO MARK
Nearly Eighty Miles an Hour Made at
Times on Certain Stretches
and Hazardous Act
Is Performed

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 13.-"One of
the most remarkable runs which the
Thomas Flyer has made recently"
says E. L. Thomas vice president of
the Il. K. Thomas Motor company, lis
the one which was made by Wesley
Smith in record run made January
~ between Denver and Colorado
Springs
THE trip. was made in the official
TIME taken by representatives of the
Denver Motor club who rode in the
record-breaking machine, of l hour so
minutes and 81 seconds by a regular
stock car which was not even stripped.
Ihls record between Denver and the
Springs, either going or coming, has
been the favOrite mark shot at by Den
yer motorists ever since the trip be-
came possible.
From time to time the record has
been lowered and with each attempt
those who rode in the record -brea king
machine have declared that they would
never again attempt the death-defying
sprint between the two cities, and yet
When new driver announces his in
tentiOn of going after the record little
difficulty has been experienced in find
ing passengers willing to make the trip
with him for the sake of the exciting
sensation which a record trip Of this
kind always brings.
The car left the Savoy hotel in Den
yer at three-quarters of a minute past
Z o'clock and pulled up in front of the
Antlers in Colorado Springs at S:51
Riding with Smith were James Nc
Donald, Fred Platt, G. E. Winnie and
a newspaper man. An incident of the
trip was the hazardous act of McDOn-
aid in crawling out on the hood, while
a speed of sixty miles an hour was
being made, and adjusting one Of the
lamps. This was done on a down
grade between Palmer Lake and Monu-
ment
Smith figures that he lost about seven
minutes on the trip on account of road
and weather conditions. 1t required
seventeen minutes to make the run be-
tween Perry Park and Palmer Lake,
although the same distance was COW
cred in ten minutes the day before,
when the road was being tested. The
party made the drive on this stretch in
furry of snow and before a high
wind today.

a score of heavily loaded coal wagons,
en- route to the coal mines north of the
springs. were encountered and the car
had to be driven out of the road. At
times a speed of approximately eighty
miles an hour was made for good
stretches"

JACKSON BOOKLETS
HANDSOME FOREWORD
Describes Growth of Concern and
Makes Plain Talk for the Com
fidence of the Auto
Public

What we wish most of all to impress
upon the reader is that every Jackson
car turned out of our factory is hon
estly built; that it follows correct me-
chanical lines and is made of good MAJ
terial; that nothing inferior is per-
mitted to cheaper its quality; that in
finish and workmanship, it shall not
disappOint the most critical; and that
it shall provide withal, an abundance
of motive power, without which all Of
it's other qualities would fall fiat
During the seven years Jackson cars
have been on the market the makers
have not felt need of employing a corps
of travelling experts to keep them in
condition. Only rarely has a mechanic
been sent from the factory on a relief
expedition, and in practically every in
stance the trouble has been found to
have been wholly or largely due to in
capable handling, or accident, or both
Those who build good automobiles have
two things to pray for, good roads and
competent drivers; those who build
poor automobiles never pray at all
The movement for better country
roads is spreading fast. In the rural
districts people are becoming keenly
alive to the fact that they, as we'll as
motorists, may enjoy the benefits of
good roads, only in a larger and more
-
of our state legislatures that they are
earnestly furthering the movement; it
is to the credit of the people at large
that the movement has their support.
The interests of automobile makers and
automobile owners are so closely identi-
fled, in the matter of good roads, that
we are glad to use this opportunity to
say a word in it's favor, hoping to set
more people thinking about it, and add
something, perhaps, to the force and
effectiveness of the crusade. Let the
good work go on!
The growth of the Jackson AutOmo-
bile company has been steady and SUBJ
stantial. AS fast as the development
of the business has made it necessary,
new buildings have been added, the
most improved modern machinery in
stalled and every possible facility pro-
vided So it is that today, with our
combined plant. embracing body MAX
ing, motor, spring and axle and drop

The jackson line of cars for 1909
offers buyers the choice of four distinct
models, ranging in price from $3.50 to
$4,000. There are no cars on the mar
ket today that offer more value for the
money, dollar for dollar. than these.

be bought. The design is along the

Radiator Troubles

All radiators have an overflow ar
raj expansion of water upon being
heated by the motor in operation. They
are also equipped with blowholes to
ALLOW the escape of steam. If by the
accumulation of sediment or dust
these outlets become clogged and do
not fulfil their functions, the result is
that the internal pressure generated
will follow the line of least resistance
and force a leak at the point where
the radiator is weaknest. 1t is abso-
luteIy essential, therefore. that these
outlets be kept open; serious trouble
must follow neglect of the principle

Device to Aid in Applying Tires

Because it is deemed more difficult
to apply a tire to the rim of a wheel
when that rim is a demountable one
than when it is a fixture, a foreign in
ventor has lately devised a special form
of tire manipulation, consisting of a
stand carrying a spider adapted to
grasp the rim from within and hold it
securely while the tube and casing are
being applied. In addition to this the
fixture contains within the frame and
attached to the spider a cylinder
air pump. which may be actuated Dy
rotating axle about which the spider is
mounted

Don't NEGLECT the Blow

Do not neglect a blow in an en-
gine. 1t may only be faulty joint,
such as a leaky valve cap, etc, but it
may be an internal blow" which
means badly fitting piston rings, or
possibly the rings have so moved that
the slots are all in line. In any case
an internal elbow" is very bad, as it
causes a carbon deposit to eventually
accumulate in the base chamber and
then the big end and main bearings are
liable to be scored.

the closing of the exposition, and as
result, Mr.. Chas. G. Blakely, 1860

The contest which was originated
by Mr.. D. 3. Simpson, proprietor of
the Central Cycle and Supply Com

great deal of attention during the fair.
Every person visiting the booth of
this company, was asked to make an
estimate of the number of parts in
the handsome Indian twin cyclinder
Motorcycle, then on display in the
booth. Out of several THOUSAND
guesses, only one was exactly correct,
that being the one of Mr. Blakely,
which was 1855. The next nearest
guess was given by Mr.. Mattheas, of
Perry, Kansas; his being 1855. Sew
eral others were near enough to be
interesting and missed the prize by
slight margin. The guesseS ranged
from 100 to 10000.
