STANDARD FOR AUTOS
RECOGNIZED BY MAKERS
Late Models Leave Little Room for
Improvement, Declare Lead
ers in Big Industry

The realization that the automobile
has reached practically stage of per-
lection and Standardization is coming
into the minds of most of the owners
and prospective purchasers of cars. 1t
can readily be seen that there is but
little difference between them all. The
general idea carried out in the con-
struction of one is apparent in another.
The newcomers in the industry are
satisfied with the ideas and methods
employed by the first of the real stan
dard type and are making their ma
chimes along the lines set
Dealers and experts unite in declar-
ing that the age of perfection In the
auto business has been nearly reached.
The value in a car from the purchas-
er's standpoint lies in the quality or
the parts of the machine, in workman
ship, finish, brakeage system, road
test, quality of carburetor, horse power
and a few other of the incidentals to
the general idea.
Leaders in the industry often have
new ideas shown in their latest models.
These ideas are soon copied by all or
the other manufacturers of the coun-
try, with the result that today there
is but little difference in the general
plan of the automobile. OF course
there are differences in the details of
machines. Some make better machines
in that the material and the workman
ship is better than others. But this
does not destroy the statement that
this is an age of standardization

AUTO ENTHUSIASTS ASK
FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS
Gen. Cutting of oldsmobile Company
Presents Figures Bearing Out Ar
gument of Increased Traffic

To prove that many thousands Of
people, not necessarily owners of auto
mobiles, are interested in the good
roads problem, the Odds Motor works
of Lansing submits some interesting
figures regarding the use of the self
driven car in the city of New York.
Gen. John T. Cutting of the Odds
mobile company of New York, eastern
representative of the Olds Motor
works, who compiled these figures,
says:
''There are approximately in daily
use in Greater New York 10000 prl-
vately owned automobiles. Figured
on a gross population of 100000 peo-
pie, this means approximately one
automobile to every 1876 inhabitants.
in addition, there are 900 taxicabs in
daily use during the summer season
and 1900 during the winter season.
Nov, these 10000 private cars
carry on an average five persons a
day, which means a gross aggregate
of $50. 900 passengers. The taxicab
people say their vehicles in New York
average fifteen calls a day, car
rying two persons each call, which
means 10000 passengers, or gross
total of 10000 people a day trans
ported by automobile in Now York
city. Surely, then, the public is
largely interested in the local good
roads question from personal rapid
transit point of view"
This report should mean encour-
agement to those devotees of good
roads who have persistently advocated
their cause and an incentive for a
continuance of their work along these
lines.

STANDARD SYSTEM FOR
RATING POWER NEEDED
New Dendy-MarshaII Formula Gives
Higher Rating to Machine
with Powerful Engines

Few months pass by that some plan
for rating the horsepower of motor car
engines is not advanced Motor car
owners as well as engineers are gener-
ally interested in these formulas as
looking forward to the millennium,
when someone will discover a plan of
rating that will be adopted by all man
ufacturers and do away with much OF
the confusion that results from the
dozen or so standards now in use. AT
present in this country the Association
of Licensed Automobile manufactur-
ers' standard of squaring the bore,
multiplying the result by the number
of cylinders and dividing by rs, is the
only one in general use, In the associa-
ton handbook the rating of all cars
made by members of the association Is
fixed by that plan.
Recently a new formula, known as
the Dendy-Marshall formula, has come
into prominence in England. 1t diff
fers from the association standard in
that it recognizes the stroke instead of,
as in the case with the association,
basing the calculation on piston
travel of 1000 feet per minute. The
Dendy Marshall formula includes
squaring the bore, multiplying thai re-
suit by the stroke and then by the
number of cylinders, and dividing the
result by r. Taking the three Pierce
Arrow motors as instances, the associa-
ton and the Dendy- Marshall systems

ID. w. sEMPLE ACCEPTS POSITION WITH
w. d. NEWERF co.

The ordinary person in passing the
offices of the w. d. Newerf company
on South Main street little thinks of
the gigantic enterprises directed from
such modest quarters. The business
is not heralded by an ornate display
of gold letters or flashy signs, but the
ever busy Newerf and his corps of
assistants devote their energies to the
development of actual business rather
than a pretense along that line.
The Newerf organizations now con-
sist of the w d. Newerf Rubber COM
pany, the Twitchell Air Gauges COM
pany and the United Oil Retineries of
Los Angeles. AS a matter of fact, no
one man could direct the energies OF
these various enterprises. and Mr.
Newerf in casting about for publicity
man and confidential representative
wisely selected d. w. Semple, who for
many months was connected with the
Los Angeles Herald in the capacity OF
automobile editor.
In that position Mr.. Semple more
than made good; placed The Herald
on a higher plane in the automobile
world than it had ever occupied, ana
the impress of his work will be felt
for a long time to come. In the posi-
ton that he has attained Mr.. Semple
has received deserved recognition as
a Give wire" and his further success
in his new field is not a matter or
question. This early in the game, due
to Mr.. Samples hustling ability, II
was reported yesterday that not one
gallon of Autoline was held in reserve
for sale; that the available supply was
product of the United Oil Refineries
company, of which Mr. Newerf is the
president and for which Mr.. Semple is

ACCIDENTS FAIL TO
STOP GOOD PILOTS
Joe Matson Declares Crack Drivers
More Merry After Being in
Bad Spills and
Wrecks

Accidents. instead OF taking the
nerve of racing divers, are rather the
best fires which prove their true
metal" says Joe Matson, now at ASCOT
park, 1.-THE really great drivers OF
today are the men who have been
through the worst kinds of accidents.
This is not merely a theory OF mine /;
1 can back II by actual instances. Ana
If my personal experience counts, l
can back my argument with that 100
Take Tracey, for instance. He's al
ways good for a speed record Of some
kind, and he has been battered IN
scores of accidents. And Herb Lytle;
he is Just as nervy today as he ever
was, and that after having his skull
almost crushed. Lorimer has been in
some of the nastiest mixups imagi-
nable, and he is one of the gamest
boys who ever piloted car. DE
Palma has been in some terrible
smashes. Chevrolet has been through
the mill. Hemery, Burman, Robert
son, Fournier and Grant are few
others who have flirted with death, as
the magazines say, and still have the
nerve which makes great racing
drivers. J. have been battered so that
my best friend wouldn't know me; In
fact. was more dead than alive
after my spill at Minneapolis, but
have Just as much confidence now as
l ever had.
IT tell you, the real driver of racing
cars accepts accidents as part of the
game. They are risks which every man
must take; being a leading character
in a few doesn't take a mans nerve
II only adds to his knowledge of his
profession. The men who lose their
nerve after a serious accident do not
last long at the game. Success leaves
them and they soon get into some
other line"

DOMESTIC EXPRESS" IS
LATEST IN AUTO BODIES

A real innovation in body building is
the domestic express" which has
lust been brought out by the White
company. AS the name implies, this
body is designed to take care of the
various odd jobs of moving and deliver
ing which come up from time to time
in connection with the home
There has always been a demand
for some convenient means of getting
two or three trunks to the station,
moving goods between the city house
and the country home, ETC., but the
needs of this service are only occasion
al and do not justify the purchase of a
separate machine.
The White company offers IS a
solution of the problem the domestic
express" body, to be used in connec-
ton with its gasoline tonneau. The
toy tonneau is detachable, and, when
removed, the domestic express" body
slips on In it's place, as shown in the
accompanying illustration. The change
from toy tonneau to domestic ex-
press" or vice versa. is made in few

INTERSTATE, GUIDE
FOR AUTOS READY
Tourist Members of A. c. A. Furnished
with information Which Makes
Travelling over Coun-
try Easy

The bureau of tours of the Automo-
bile Club of America has been busily
engaged during the past winter in an
enlargement of the scope of the work
of the touring bureau to cover every
state in the Union. The A. c. A. has
also perfected a plan by which mo-
torist can join the A. c. A. as tour
list member and enjoy all the facili-
ties and advantages of the bureau of
tours. The motorist can thus obtain
for a nominal sum all the touring in
formation, route, cards, maps and
guides he desires, and under the new
arrangement which the A. c. a. has
made with numerous of the larger au-
tomobile clubs throughout the coun-
try the tourist member enjoys the
privilege of a chain of automobile
clubs, where he can stop on his tray
els and receive detailed local touring
information and the temporary priv
ileges of each of the clubs.
For several years such a scheme for
taking care of the motor tourist has
been discussed among various automo-
bile club members, and when the A. G.
A. made the move to organize ma
tional touring bureau many of the
other clubs throughout the country at
once showed their willingness to CO.
operate. Through it's own efforts and
the efforts of these afiliating clubs
the A. c. A. has prepared and has
nearly ready for distribution a COM
pilation of all the motoring routes in
all of the states in the Union. 1t also
has enlarged it's department of foreign
touring. Members may now find out
in a few moments at the A. c. A.
everything they could wish to know
about a foreign trip before sailing for
the other side.
In the development of its domestic
touring department the club has en-
ployed the road expert and map maker
formerly with the Red Book, the 1905
edition of which was considered one
of the best authorities on touring In
the field which it covered Large col
ored road maps of every state are on
the press and will be distributed to
the afflliating clubs before the 1910
touring season opens.
The A. C. A. touring book for 1910
will be in the hands of all A. c. A.
members before May 1. 1t contains
500 routes and fifty large maps in col
ors. The main touring lines are di-
vided into half dozen divisions. Two
surveying cars are to be kept on the
road during the entire coming season
gathering information for tourists
mapping out new routes and investi-
eating roads, hotels and garages. The
first survey car will leave New York
this week for the purpose of surveying
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama and Tennessee.

automobile craftsmanship is of two
kinds" says Hugh Chalmers, the sales
Of cars by the manufacturer to the
dealer, and the sales of cars by the
dealer to the public. Or. broadly
speaking, wholesale and retail. So far
as the wholesale side Is concerned, au-
tomobiles have been bought rather
than sold. The demand from dealers
has been enormous 1t has been too
great for all Of the factories in the
country to fill, hence there has not
been as careful application by many
manufacturers of the principle OF
salesmanship in the distribution Of
automobiles as there has been In most
other lines of commercial activity.
Many companies seem to go on the
principle that as soon as the factory S
output is spoken for by the dealers, 1t
is sold This is far from true. Cars
are not really sold until they are in
the hands Of users at a price that gives
a fair profit to both dealer and manu-
| facturer.
1.-THE first potent factor in influence
| ing the public is good goods. NO pos
! sible amount of strenuous salesman
ship and advertising will suffice to keep
q poor article on the market. II IS
| possible by strong craftsmanship and
! clever advertising to sell a first edi-
| tion.' Profitable business is d matter
of repeat orders, and you can't have
repeat orders when you put out poor
goods. A salesman with good goods to
| offer always makes a better record in
the long run than the salesman with
| inferior goods, even though the man
with the poor goods may be superior
| to the other man in the practice OF
the arts of his profession. The condl-
| tions, in quite recent years, in the au-
tomobile industry have been such that
any factory that could turn out car
! that had any merit at all could sell
its output. The time is bound to come
when only those factories which turn
! out cars of unusual and unquestioned
merit will be able to sell their out
put.
when one stops to think of all the
! energy and all the brains concentrated
now on the production end of the au-
| tomobile business, one is inevitably
| forced to the conclusion that sooner
| or later production will catch up with
demand. Then good salesmanship ana
good advertising will play more I'M
| portant part in the automobile DuSl-
| ness than heretofore. 1t is playing a
part now but that part is not plain
| to everyone. L have just been saying
that the fundamental principle OF sales
manship is good goods. When the time
| comes that production equals or passes
| demand. then the manufacturers who
! have maintained a high standard In
spite of all temptations to lower stand
ard for the sake of turning out greater
quantities will find that they have beer
much better statesmen than they knew
They will find themselves sitting on a
solid rock of public confidence: Inc
second great fundamental principle in
galesmanship and advertising is honest

The sliding of the wheels which oc-
