WAVERLEY ELECTRIC BOUGHT
BY HIGH CHINESE OFFICIAL

Since the Russo-Japanese war the
trade of the United States with Man
churia is said to have dwindled from
$22, 2,500,O 900 to $7,5OO,OO0 a year, due in
some measure, no doubt, to the unset
tied condition of the country, but very
largely to the competition of Japan.
Japanese merchants and manufac-
turers are prepared to furnish almost
everything that Uncle Sam exports at
a lower price than he can afford to
accept. An important exception to
this rule, however, is in the line of
automobiles.
The little Jap can easily distance us
in the building of jinrikishas, but
when it comes to locomotives, thresh-
ing machines and automobiles we still
have the advantage.
Above is the picture of q Waverley
Electric runabout recently shipped
from Indianapolis to Mukden, Man
churia, for Taotai Key, managing di-
rector of the Nukden Electric Light
works in that city. The sale was made
to the well-knoTn importing firm,
Fearon, Daniel & Co. of Shanghai,
China, and is an indication of the
growing demand for up-to-date pleas
ure vehicles in the Orient.

THOMAS CAR FINISHES
A REMARKABLE TEST
Goes Over Mountain on 2500-
Mile Trip, All the Way
on High Gear

A 1911 Thomas six-forty car has just
completed one of the most remarkable
efficiency tests that has ever been un-
dertaken in motoring. Mr.. Thomas
claims that his long stroke, large valve,
six-cylinder car is so flexible and easy
riding and powerful that it can be ope-
rated entirely on the high gear and will
run as slow as two miles an hour or as
fast as sixty miles. So remarkable a
degree of fiexibility has been regarded
by motorists with incredulity. There
fore Mr.. Thomas determined to remove
all other gears but high and reverse
and and start the car from Buffalo over
a 2500-mile route, which should embrace
the roughest roads east of the Missis-
sippi river.
The car started from Buffalo last
week, after being inspected by Dick
Lewis, the A. A. A. racing representa-
tive, and headed for Erie. 1t made the
ninety-six miles in two holurs, twenty
five minutes at forty-mile clip over
good roads From Erie to Pittsburg il
had to ascend Meadville mountain, the
stiffest grade in Western Pennsylvania.
The mountain is 1900 feet high and the
ascent is a mile and half long at
grade of 16 per cent average, with
abrupt turns that seemed to make gear
shifting essential. The car climbed the
one and a half miles in better than
three minutes and arrived at Plttsburg
at an average for the distance of thir-
ty-two miles an hour.
From Pittsburg the car ran through
Greensburg and Ligonier to Gettysburg.
across the Allegheny mountains ana
over the toughest road in the east with
water breaks all the way. The ascent
of Laurel range and Cove mountain
was made without difficulty, and the
crew arrived in Gettysburg in good
time.
Saturday the car ran to Philadelphia
and Sunday the crew rested. Early
Monday they ran to New YORK
Through the congested Wall street dis
trict the crew disembarked and walked
beside the car. demonstrating conclu-
sively that it could be throttled down
to less than two miles an hour Mon
day afternoon it started for New Ha-
ven and Tuesday ran to Boston.
From Boston the route ran across the
Green and White mountains, including
the ascent of Mount washington and
Jacobs ladder. From Albany they fol-
lowed the New York to Paris route
back to Buffalo.
Fred Nehrbis and George Miller al
ternated at the wheel and George L.
Verrault and Ray Macdonald acted as
observers. The car was checked all
along the line by A. A. a. officials.

THERM0- -SYPHON SYSTEM
BEST FOR COOLING MOTOR

In discussing the most satisfactory
method of water cooling we must con-
slider the relative advantages and dis
advantages of each circulating system.
The main advantage in using pump
is that less water Is, as rule, neces-
sary. with a corresponding decrease IN
weight. The simplicity and reliability
of the thermo-syphon system is the
strongest point in its favor. The most
serious objection to a pump is that II
is always at least a prospective source
of trouble and must be frequently re-
hacked to keep all connections water
tight The thermo-syphon system, on
the other hand, requires no care other
than to see that the radiator Is sup
piled with enough clean water.
A certain amount Of power is ab-
sorbed in driving a pump, while with
the thermo-syphon system the water
circulates similarly to the hot water
systems in houses, which depend upon
the fact that cold water being heavier
than hot. for equal volumes, will dis
place the heated water, causing the
latter to rise.
With a pump the circulation depends
upon the motor speed and not upon
the temperature, as in the thermo-
svphon. Take, for instance, in ascend
ing a steep grade with full throttle
and engine slowed down under load,
the circulation in a car employing the
therno-syphon system is correspond
ingly accelerated, while on level,
running with closed throttle, it is re-
duced. The result of this is that the
cylinders are kept at an almost con-
slant working temperature with but
slight variance. With pump the re-
verse is true, owing to the reduced
speed of the engine, so that on long
hill that can be negotiated on E!gh
gear the cylinders are receiving full
charges of gas and. therefore, maxi
mum amount of heat must be taken
care of. 1t is here that the circulation
with a pump is the weakest, due to the
slowing of the pump action correspond
ingly with the slowing down of the
motor under load Then again, on
the level, when the motor is speeded
up and the car is travelling at a
high rate of speed. the pump is work
ing unnecessarily hard and its in
creased speed augments the cooling.
On tie whole, the thermo-syphon
system with it's many advantages over
the pump will give. in the long rum
the greater satisfaction.-H. P. Menck-
en-, NJ. D., Astoria, L. l., in October

with pride to the visitor who meets
it on the street
Atlanta's famous speedway didn't
exist when the Bullet" reached town.
But the racing spirit was abroad in
the land and, on her second day in
Dixie. the car was challenged to five
consecutive road races, which she won
without trouble. Later on, when rae
ing became established, she has COM
peted regularly and has always done
well. At one meeting she won eight
firsts. She has been shipped all over
the south and has won hill climbs,
half-mile track events endurance runs
and all sorts of competitions.
Manager Hanson of the EMF At
lanta company says the car has been
run more than $4,000 miles, more than
half of which has been Travelled at
full speed. In all probability the wear
and tear on this car easily exceeds
10000 miles of average use. She is
running yet and will bear No. in the
fall events at the speedway.
Another car on which the EMF
company is keeping close track is the
car that did the pathfnding for the
Glidden tour of 1909. Those who re-
member this historic automobile in her
duel with the Iowa gumbo would new
er recognize her now. With changed
body she is now known at the EMF

CADILLAC TRAVELS THROUGH
THE FOREST FIRE DISTRICT

Philip Neu and his family of Port
land, Ore, recently returned from
25OO-mile tour in a Cadillac thirty that
was notable for the character Of the
territory covered and the fact that no
serious trouble developed throughout
the long run.
The route selected is one of the
grandest scenery in the northwestern
country. San Jose, Cal, was the OBJ
iective point, reached through the Will
iamette, Rogue river and Crater Lake
districts of oregon, and the Mount
shasta, Sacramento and san Francisco
bav districts of California.
on the journey south the party passed
through the big forests of Southern
oregon before the forest fires had at
tackled the splendid trees. On the home
ward leg of the trip the car was driven
through the burned area. At times the
smoke was so thick that it was almost
impossible to see the road hundred
wards ahead. Numbers of men were
met on their way to fight the fires and
MANY homesteaders were seen fleeing
from the flames with their household
goods and personal belongings.
Throughout the long trip there was
no delay or inconvenience due to trou-
ble with the car, though the party
made some stops here and there and
side trips to enjoy the scenic beauties
Of certain regions.

How long ought standard auto

1t is a peculiar fact that the automo-
bile world is as yet in the dark, crop
ing for an answer to this very question
The public, the dealer, the manu-
facturer are all equally Interested,
each from his own point of view.
Purchasers of cars want to know
how long their possession will last.
Dealers want to be able to plan their
seasons campaigns for the future with
definite knowledge of the percentage of
cars destined each season for the scrap
pile. Manufacturers yearn to find out
in order to lay intelligent plans on
production.
In all probability, the manufacturers
will be the first to solve the problem.
Some of them are wearing out cars
with deliberate intent, keeping care
full track of conditions and milages.
knowledge gained in this way has been
supplemented by speeding portions of
of the cars for weeks at time, at
tached to a belt in the factory, But
these methods have as yet brought re-
suits of a little more than comparative
value Time alone will tell in fig
ures the grand aggregate and each
manufacturer will have to determine
that figure for himself.
The EMF company is making two
interesting experiments along this line.
Both are with cars comprised in the
first years output.
The eighth car made in the EMF
company shops was sent to the firms
agency in Atlanta to be used for dem
onstrating purposes 1t is demon
strating yet. When not in use as a
schooling car for new drivers. or in
the other uses of a garage car, it is
whizzing around the Atlanta speedway

OF course, an end must come some
time to the life of both of these cars.
When it does, the EMF company will
be on the way solving a problem that
it regards of great Importance. In the
meantime careful watch is being
kept by all EMF retailers on cars
which are being given unusually hard

KING MAY COME BACK"

From an over the world have come
criticisms of young King Manuel of
Portugal. who fled from his country
with his mother when the revolution
began and scarcely struck a blow in
defense Of his crown or his adherents.
II has been regarded as showing a
streak Of yellow in the House of
Braganza. That the young man
should not strike a blow TO retain the
sceptre OF his fathers was regarded as
showing his total unfitness 10 wear
the purple and as an complication
OF the wisdom Of his subjects I'm de-
throning him.
The truth is coming out at last,
however. and it shows that the young
king knew weu what ne was doing.
He had known for months that the
revolutionary propaganda was in mo-
ton. and that its representative had
been i'm London dealing with the LIB

King Manuel, young as he Is, knows
something OF political economy, and
OF politics. and his mother is a past
master OF both. They both knew that
emissaries of the revolutionist- leaders
had told the Portuguese peasants that
the monarchy was responsible for the
high taxes. the poor crops. and the
heavy national debt They knew that
these agents had promised the peo-
pie that if the king were driven away
and a republic organized that an this
would be corrected. King Manuel
knew that the sentiment Of the eoun-

legislature, because Mr.. Clegg wrote a
letter to The Herald-Republican COM
mending the assistance this paper is
giving the people in their fight for
cheaper fuel. is of a piece with the
policy of that paper It's intention OF
course is 10 warn everybody else that
they get into this fight against the
coal trust at their peril, and that SINH
lar treatment may be expected by
anybody that dares stand against the
owner Of the Tribune, the coal trust.
There are indications. however. that
the Tribune will have 10 roast almost
everybody in Utah il It keeps up its
policy of attacking everybody that is
in the field against the trust
The Tribune says the only trouble
with Clegg is his record is against
him" But it does not proceed TO show
wherein his record was bad. 1t re-
counts the fact that Mr.. Clegg was a
member OF the Utah legislature for
four years and, while the Tribune may
think that is bad record against a
citizen OF Utah, we cannot see the
force OF it. Most OF US believe that
the members OF the Utah legislature
are pretty fair men, representative of
the constituency of the state, and men
who attend to their duties and work
for the interests OF the people.
But we do not feel that Mr.. Clegg
needs any defense at our hands. The
Tribune has shown nothing IN his
record that would imply he needed de-
Tense at anybody's hands, and further
than that he has always seemed emf
nently able to take care of himself.
But the meat in the cocoanut is that
any person who dares TO get into the
fight against the coal trust may ex-
pect to find himself slandered by the
Tribune. Many OF them viii not get
off as well as did Mr. Clegg. because
nothing dishonorable is even limited at
in the Tribune's editorial. which was
printed on the back page with a local
head.
We doubt very much whether the
Tribune will be able TO maintain its
policy. The people of Utah are pretty
thoroughly in earnest in this coal trust
matter. and are not going to be scared
off the Job very easily. Wholesale
SANDER OF people who differ from
them in their opinions has always
been the distinguishing mark of the
Tribune inner circle. but it has never
gotten the Tribune anything and never
will. The measure Of that paper has
been taken by the people of the state.
They know It is trust-owned and trust
controlled. and whatever It says in de-
Tense OF the trusts is already dis
counted.
