JERSEY REPRESENTATIVES
TAKE BUTLITTLE INTEREST.

New Jerseys representatives at
Washington, that is the majority of
them, are practically ignoring the
commuters troubles. Neither Senator
Kean nor Senator Briggs nave shown
n interest in the proceedings, The
same might be said of the representa-
tives in Congress excepting Congress
man Kinkead. The two senators were
t~elegraphed to by Howard B. Mar
shall, president of the Commuters
League of New Jersey, Inc the fol-
lowing from Senator Briggs shows
what little concern the all-important
question Is to him:
Referring to your telegram in re-
gard to the question of the increase in
commuters rates, / have taken the
matter up with the authorities, and, as
1 understand it. the situation is this:
The President has signed the railroad
bill as passed by Congress, and one
Of it's provisions prevents any increase
of rates until 1t has been passed upon
by tho Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the fairness of the rates
passed upon. This. 1t seems to me,
stays action for the present. which
understand Is what you desire.
Very sincerely,
FRANK 0. BRIGGS"
Kinkead Is Promised.
In a letter received yesterday by
Peter Goodman. of Harrison, Congress
man Eugene, F. Kinkead, of Hudson
County, stated that he had placed the
complaints of New Jersey commuters
about the proposed increases in fares
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Congressman Kinkead de-
clared that he had been assured by
Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the
commission that an investigation would
be begun at once. The letter follows:
Hon. Peter Goodman,
Harrison. N. j.
my Dear Sir:
referring now to the resolution for.
warded to me regarding the proposed
increase In communication rates from
Harrison to New York I have pleasure
In notifying the Mayor and Common
Council of Harrison, N. j., through you
that l have taken up the mater per-
sonally with Martin A. Knapp, chair.
man of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission, and he has given me his as
surance hat the matter will be inves.
tigated at once under the new rail.
road law which has just been passed
by the house.
IT have urged that all possible speed
be made in the settlement of this mat.
ter. In my Judgment your complaint
Is well founded, and l sincerely trus
that redress will be promptly given t
the commuters.
"The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was powerless to act under tn,
old law, n I was therefore delayed
in presenting your case until the new
bin went into effect. I am sending yo,
herewith copy of the new bill, and re-
spectfully call your attention to Sec,
ton IL, on page IA, which covers you
resolution.
Assuring you of my willingness to b,
of service at all times to the people

DEMAND DIAMOND AUTO
TIRES BY THE CARLOAD

c. L. Mathewson, Pacific coast man.
ager OF the Diamond Rubber company,
reports the receipt of nine carloads of
branch within the last three weeks
for the spring requirements. Adding to
these the three carloaods just received
at the Los Angeles branch and two
carloads at the Seattle branch. with
several more carloads en- route at this
time, it will give an idea of the enor-
nous extent of the automobile business
on the coast.
1.-THE record speaks for itself. and
Diamond tires are good enough for
me-" writes Sidney Kingsbaker of Los
Angeles to the Diamond Rubber COM
pany. In his letter he states that
Diamond tire has covered 1S,473 miles
to date on his car and from all appear
ances is good for several thousand
miles yet.
Manager +. o. Nelson of the Dia-
mond Rubber company has just re-
turned from a business trip to san
Francisco and reports the automobile
and accessories trade booming in that
city.
Heretofore, said Mr.. Nelson,
speaking of the automobile industry
in San Francisco. "the sales rooms and
garages have not been nearly so nice
as in Los Angeles. but now the agents
are taking a tumble TO themselves and
are putting in fine show rooms. Van
Ness and Golden Gate avenues will be
the automobile and accessories streets

AUTOISTS
PLAN TEST Of NEW RULES
NorristoWn Club to Have Endur-

new rules and regulations as adopted by the
American Automobile association and approved
by the manufacturers organization.
The Norristown club makes it perfectly clear
and specific that touring cars with top ton
neaus and surrey bodies must carry four
passengers and only eligible for the tour
ing car classes. The runabout must carry
at least two passengers and must compete in
the runabout classes.
For the purpose OF keeping the cars travel
ing at more uniform speed and to discour-
age scorching as far possible, the Norris
town club insists that no cars in the run Will
be allowed TO lay at any CONTROL or any other
place between controls. for longer than ten
minutes Failure 10 observe this rule Will
entail penalizatlon Of point per minute

tween controls, providing there is no other
work being done.
To determine the operating condition Of a
car at the conclusion of an endurance contest
the A. A. A. rules provide for a test of brakes.

town club goes even further and will insist on
backward brake test on a hill to be desig-
mated by the technical committee.
The run to Scranton will be in the nature of
a thorough try-out Of the reliability contest

SIMPLEX AUTO PLANT
BUILDS ENTIRE MACHINE
Manufacturers Make Study of All
Parts of Car

The Amplex IS a manufactured car, in the
sense that every moving part Of its motor
transmission and driving gear is manufac-
tured in our own plant, the frame in its
entirety-every part where strength or pre-
cision of fit and operation is vital-on the de-
signs Of our own engineers from the finest and
best materials it is possible for us to obtain
The motor is the American Simplex four
cylinder, Valveless, tWo-cycle engine which
develops fifty horsepower at 800 revolutions a
minute. There is no pause between the i'm
pulses delivered by the American Simplex
two-cycle motor; the power is continuous. In
the American Simplex motor a charge of gas
is exploded in each cylinder at every second
stroke of the piston. The four-cyce piston
receives new power only at every fourth
stroke.
The bore and stroke Of the engine are five
inches, fitted with force feed oiler to all
bearings and parts of engine. The water
pumps for the cooling system both gear
driven. The method of mounting the engine
and radiator is unique and highly satsfac-
tory, inasmuch as the alignment Of the en-
gine and driving gear cannot be destroyed by
road shocks. The transmission system of the
Simplex is the most novel ever applied to n
motor car It's worth has been amply tested.
Both the dlHerential and the selective type
of sliding gear are on the rear axle.
Yet another advance is the improved torson
tube boted solidly to the gear case and
terminating forward in a ball and socket
joint
When the Amplex brakes adjusted at the
factory they are adjusted for all time. You
will never have to crawl under the car to
tinker with them. If 1t is necessary TO take
up wear remove the footboard. turn the thumb
screw on the brake rod and it is done.
The AmpeX is an automobile symphony
every part is absolute harmony, not a note
of discord in its operation.
On the direct drive the AmpleN be
handled with perfect facility at any speed

rare occasion indeed that requires a shifting

POPULAR AIR GAUGES
ARE ADVERTISING CITY
Made in Los Angeles Mark to Be
Seen Around World in a
Short Time

Los Angeles has invaded the British
market again, and this time with u
product manufactured in this city. 1t
will be recalled that last fall James ID.
Garvey left this city on a trip around
the world in the interest OF the W. ID.
Newerf Rubber company and especially
of the Twitchell air guages
The Motor, England's greatest auto
mobile journal, under date of April O.,
1910, has this to say editorially:
Another device which is being mar
keted in America, and of which we
know nothing here, also illustrates the
difference between the two countries,
not only in regard to the demand, but
the different line of thought pertaining
there to the acceptation Of such de-
vices. The instrument / am referring
to is the Twitchell air gauge, and is
an exceedingly simple form of pressure
gauge for pneumatic tires. We have
the pressure gauge here embodied in
most pumps, and we also have that
type Of device which screws on to the
valve, and serves to test the pressure
within the tire whenever it is desired
to do so. The TwitChell air gauge
takes the place of this latter outfit,
and is certainly q simpler device than
we employ, being merely a plunger
working in a tube with valve release,
which, when pressed against the end
of the steam valve, releases the latter
and allows the air pressure within the
tire TO communicate with the plunger
and forces it out, thus disclosing a
scale, which shows the pressure with
in the tire. 1t is neat, compact, can be
carried in the Waistcoat pocket, and
costs but q few shillings, but the as
tonishing part about it is the popularity
which the device enjoys in American
motoring circles, /. e., Of course, If l
can believe the story told me by a rep
resentative of the firm who is or was,
over here for the purpose Of securing
sales, and l know of no reason why L
should not. He told me that in seven
months in the states last season he had
sold 100000 of these Instruments, and
gathered that he had an idea that push
and hustle would sell them in similar
quantities here"
The paragraph quoted refers to the
recent visit of James ID. Garvey of this
city to Great Britain in the interest OF
the w. d. Newerf Rubber company.
He is on his way around the world,
representing the Twitchell air gauge,
of which w. d. Newerf is the sole dis
tributor for the Twitchell factory.
Garvey's first order In England was for
5000 Of the gauges, taken from one of
the largest automobile houses on the
other side of the Atlantic, and he Is
now in France. Thence he will go to
Germany and before he returns will
visit nearly every country on the
globe
AS each of the little wonders have
stamped upon them MADE in Los An
geles, L. s. A." and as these pocket
pieces passes into the hands Of owners
in every civilized nation on earth,
Greater Los Angeles is being adVer-
tised by thousands of foreigners every
time they use the Twitchell or show it
to friends and thus another Los Ange-
les industry is being boosted by a To-
cal concern.
