LEFT-HAND DRIVE IS
PLEASING TO OWNERS
Traffic Ordinances Favor New Depart
ure Adopted on Late Model
of REQ Cars

1--WE think we have gauged the popu-
lar mind accurately in adopting the
left-hand drive" says r. e. Olds, pres
ident of the REQ Motor Car company.
"One day of sleet, slush and ice as of
yesterday should satisfy any one that
the new method is bound to become
practically universal before very long.
The statutes and local ordinances in
nearly all states require vehicles not in
motion to be so placed on streets and
highways that the right side of the car
is next to the curbing.
"With the levers and the tire trunk
on the left or inner side of the car, the
occupants of the front seat may step
directly upon the sidewalk. Not so
with the right-hand drive. With it the
passengers must take the alternative of
either climbing over the levers out upon
the sidewalk or else alight at the left
side of the car, out in the dirt. mud,
snow, slush or ice, and then wade for
the sidewalk via the front or rear of
the car
"Then there are important points of
safety, comfort, economy and efficiency
that favor the new method. 1t is for
these and other reasons that so many
lay and expert motorists are strongly
advocat ting the left-hand drive. Doc
tors, real estate men, contractors, farm
ers, clergymen and other business and
professional men, who largely do their
own driving, are notably pleased with
the innovation"

FIRST FOUR CYLINDER
LOCO IS STILL USED
Mileage of Over One Hundred Thou
sand Recorded by Car Since
Leaving Factory
in 1902

An excellent idea of the strength and
long life of Locomobile cars and the
strong way in which they are built
can best be realized by a knowledge of
the fact that the first four cylinder Lo-
comobile ever made is still in good run
ming order and is at work every day in
the week at the Locomobile factory in
Bridgeport. This famous car is used as
a tow car, to run errands, and is a
means of instrucing operators.
The car, which was put ON the road
in the early spring of 1902, has seen
almost daily service since, and con-
servative estimate of the mileage made
by it since it was manufactured is
100000 This is putting the figures
rather low, and some who know the
car and know what it has been doing
place the mileage half as large again,
or at least 100000. The most notable
feature, however, is that it is still run
ming on the same wheels, has the same
engine, gear case, ignition system and
mechanical features it had when the
car was sent out of the factory as a
finished product. This gives some idea
of Locomobife stability.
1t is, too, one of the most famous
cars ever made by the company and
men in position to know say that no
less than 500 people have learned to
operate Locomobiles at the wheel of
this car. Almost all the veterans in
the employ of the company-and there
are many-received their first driving
lessons on this car, as well as hundreds
of chauffeurs.

FORD OUTPUT INVOLVES
$5,OOO,00O FOR PARTS
Years Manufacture Calls for Immense
Sum Before $4,000 Cars Are
Ready for Delivery

Few people have any conception of
what it means to build $4,000 complete
cars in twelve monthS-what it means
from the manufacturers standpoint.
1t means for the Ford Motor company
a going inventory of parts and mater1-
ais for cars of over $5,000,000.
1t means new materials coming in at
the rate of 81 100000 a month.
1t means working 2000 men sixty
hours a week through the long winter
months when automobile sales are, at
the lowest point
1t means building more than 1000
cars every month, whether sales drop
off in the winter or not. If the cars
have to be stored away, every car calls
for 200 cubic feet of space.
Do you wonder then that there has
been a car shortage every year and
will be next? Few manufacturers can
afford or are in position financially to
build for stock-the average dealer can
not or will not finance his business to
the extent of ordering cars in advance
of sales, so that most manufacturers
have to shut down in winter and open
up in the spring. Then the effort to
build in four months a twelve months
output proves absolutely impossible and
a shortage results.
The safest plan for a retail buyer to
pursue is to order a car in January IN
stead of waiting until March, when a
hundred thousand others want cars
and dealers who expect to do maxi
mum business, with accrutng profits,
should borrow money, carry the cars
and reap the benefits.

DEMONSTRATES ENGINE
BY USING GLASS HOOD
Syracuse Automobile Manager At
tracts Attention with His
Novel Method

In order to give a public demonstra:-
ton of the operation of the engine,
George e. Messer, Syracuse branch
manager for the Franklin Automobile
company, is driving about the streets
of Syracuse with a Franklin motor car
equipped with a hood made of glass
instead Of metal.
The interior of this hood is illumi-
mated by means of a series of electric
lights. When standing in the city
streets, especially of an evening, the
car is always surrounded by crowd
of interested onlookers. The engine is
on occasions like this allowed to run
while car stops are made. so the crowd
gets a demonstration of the operation
of the motor.
Among those familiar with automo-
bile construction interest oenters in the
Franklin new cooling ssytem. AS with
previous Franklins, the cooling is done
by air. In the 1910 cars the cooling
current is applied with greater uni
formity to the several cylinders, and
it's volume is increased. The system is
operated by means of a suction fly
wheel. which draws the air currents
downward along the cylinder walls
through an air Jacket.

REDLANDs NEWS NOTES

REDLANDS, Jan. 14.-The Pacific
Power and Light company and the
Edison company are working together
to open up a road in the Santa Ana
canyon. Each company has force OF
men working at either end and they
expect to meet in a few days so that
traffic may be resumed up to the power
houses. The old ford was washed out
and a new place will be found for
crossing the stream. It is probable that
an entirely new road will be built, but
this has not as yet been determined
upon.
This month the payments on the lot
at West State street and Third street
will be made by the promoters of the
Natatorium and then work will be
started on the we'll which will supply
the water. Percy Harley, who is at
the head of the enterprise, is confident
that it will be ready for the public early
next spring.
A Schubert male chorus has been or
ganized here and has a membership of
twenty-five. G. Hayden and E. c..
Hopkins are in charge, the former di-
recting, with Mr.. Hopkins at the
piano.

WARNER ELECTRIC TIMER
INTERESTING FEATURE
Exhibit at Recent New York Auto
Show PIeases Those Who
Examine Device

An interesting exhibit at the recent
New York auto show at Grand Central
palace was the new electric timing ap-
paTatus invented by c. II. Warner of
the Warner Instrument company, Be
lott. Wis, manufacturers of the au-
tometer. This timing device, which re-
cords to the one-hundredth part of a
second the time of contesting cars, is
one of the most interesting develop
ments of season of racing unparal-
leled in the history of the sport.
With the building of the Indianapolis
motor speedway it became necessary
to have installed there a timing device
that would catch the time of racing
cars to the smallest possible part of a
second. Carl Fisher, the moving spirit
of the speedway enterprise, asked the
aid of G. H. Warner in securing such
an apparatus. Mr.. Warner first made
a search of the country for an inventor
who had worked upon such a con-
trivance, but he could find no one who
had been successful, so undertook the
task of building the machine himself.
The first timing device invented by
Mr.. Warner was used at the opening
meet at the Indianapolis speedway,
and, while it was success in every
way. Mr.. Warner was not altogether
satisfied. He has since made several
improvements on the timing machine.
The one used at indianapolis at the
meet which closed recently has met
with the approval of racing drivers and
officials throughout the country. 1t
was used to time the Fairmount park
race, the Edgewater-Fo Lee hill
climb, the recent meet at the Atlanta
motor speedway and at the races at
Riverhead, L. 1.

SPEED OF BUICK CAR
HOLDS MANS HAT SAFE
Machine Tearing Over Second Street
Hill Displays Speed Pleasing
to Passenger

Despite the fact that there are nu-
merous 'hitching posts along automo-
bile row, Manager Frank Howard of
the Howard Automobile company tells
the following story:
"I was demonstrating the 40-horse-
power Buick over the back of Second
street recently to Messrs. Heweth and
McMechen. Mr.. Heweth agreed to
take two cars if would take him and
his party, seven in all, over on the
high. About half way up Mr.. Heweth'
hat blew off. Yelling to me to stop
which I did not do-and at the same
time turning around to look for the
missing article, imagine his surprise to
find it held tightly against the tonneau
by the suction.
"They are the prowd owners of two
Bucks now, sister cars to the Phoenix
winner"

MANY LAWS CONFUSE

Speed that happy day when uniform
motor legislation will be abroad in the
land and the motorist can travel from
one end of this fair country to the other
on his own state license, and no need
to carry an attorney with him in his
journeyings! At the present time the
owner of a car cannot but regard the
automobile laws of the realm as a
crazy quilt, made up of patches sup
piled by the various states. Here's a
hearty wish, which will be echoed by
motorists everywhere, that the present
agitation results in the placing of a
comprehensive automobile law on the
federal statute books.

FAIR DEALING IS
MAGNET FOR TRADE
Studebaker Agent Attributes Success
in Business to. Protection of
Customers on Cars
Purchased

81 attibute the remarkable growth
of the worldwide Studebaker reputa-
ton to fair dealing and our enormous
manufacturing facilities, which enable
us to make cars in greater quantities
than other manufacturers, thereby CIV
ing our customers more value at
given price than those manufacturers
not so we'll equipped to build in sucn
quantities." is the way Harry LORD OF
the Lord Motor Car company speaks OF
the Sudebaker company. Another
feature that adds greatly to the Stude-
baker prestige is that they build more
complete line of motor vehicles than
any other concern in the world, manu-
featuring gasoline and electric pleasure
vehicles, both open and closed, and
electric delivery wagons and trucks.
1.-THE intelligent buyer of an automo-
bile today not only demands real value,
but he insists that the concern from
whom he buys must have such respon-
sibility and financial resources as to
prove a constant source of protection
to him, because there have been SO
many cars manufactured in the past
that the manufacturer either failed or
went out of business in six months or
a year after the buyer got his car;
then it deprecated to such an extent
tnat ne COulu get nOlHlllS LUZ It,
1.-THE Studebaker policy affords the
buyer of a car greater protection and
greater convenience than any, other
automobile builder in existence, for the
reason that instead of compelling buy
ers to communicate direct with the fac
tory thousands of miles away, we have
large branch houses in all the principal
cities which have absolute jurisdiction
over the territory in which they are
located, carrying complete line of re-
pair parts, a full line of cars from
which customers and agents can make
their selections, fully organized sand
equipped repair shops, and in many
cases body building, upholstering and
painting departments where an owners
car can be overhauled, body rebuilt and
such other changes made as may be
necessary, by the manufacturer who
builds the car and who is more in
terested in it, naturally, and also in
protecting the owner, than any outsider
could possibly be.
"That the Studebaker company has
every faith in the industry is indicated
by the fact that they have probably
spent more money in extending terri
tory, having appointed more new agents
in both the United States, Cuba, Porto
Rico, Denmark, Germany and South
America than any other concern in the
world. The figures and facts in our
possession show that we are eXpend-
ing more money to develop one depart
ment-the commercial vehicle depart
mcmillan many of the prominent au-
tomibile builders are spending in their
entire business"
