UNDRESSING FRAMES
ARE GIVEN PRAISE
American Automobiles Are Said to
Have Structural Advantage-Eng-
lish Critic Comments on TAX
ing Up of French Idea

one of the main structural features
of the American cars for several years
has been the undressing frame. This
has met with such favor in the past
that four of the 1910 models of Amer
lean cars are equipped with it,
An English critic has recently pub
lished a short comment on the under
slung frame which is interesting. Pic
lures illustrating the underslung frame
and some of its advantages were print
ed with the article. The writer says:
1T is interesting to watch motor ear
development in America, where many
of the best makes find so ready a mar
ket that they are never heard of here.
Thus an Indianapolis firm is building
cars on the lines of the French Sta
bilia or underslung principle, which
was tried two years ago in Paris and
commented on very faYorably. The
frame is simply inverted and hangs
from the axle instead of being super
imposed. The side members are, there
fore, in line with the bottom of the
undershield. and if a wheel should, for
any reason, break or be thrown. the
car would slide harmlessly along like
a sledge on its runners.
Another advantage is that the re-
pouiiu VI tliC Spi Mss Ol Il DuIHpy Iodu
acts downward instead of upward, so
that the effect of a bad bump is merely
to cause a slight sinking instead of
violent upward jerk. OF course, the
arrangement makes a car far more
stable; in fact, it is almost impossible
TO oVerturn it, and larger wheels can
be used, thus giving easier running and
less tire wear l have long since
proved that low seats are a great ad-
vantage and a built -four-seated
body on this chassis looks very well
and will provide ideal comfort. hope
one of our leading makers will take
up this idea, as it does not involve
much alteration of existing designs"

INTEREST LIVELY
IN BEACH RACES
PROBABLE WINNERS CAUSE
MUCH SPECULATION
Many Believe oldfeId Will Come OFF
Victorious While De Palma
Has Host of Supporters
at Daytona

Wagering of the liveliest kind has
begun along automobile row" on the
outcome of the series of races consti-
tuting the match between the Benz
and Fiat racing automobiles, to occur
on the Ormond Daytona beach in Flor
ida. E. w. c. Arnolds big Fiat pro-
nounCed by De Palma to be in the
finest possible condition, is ready.
Oldfield's car is ready also for the
contest, and both will be busy until
the day of the race.
The automobile dealers, statesmen
and all the others in any way con-
nected with the trade are about
equally divided as to the speed of the
wagers made have been on the basis
of even money.
Strictly on the basis of power there
appears to be a disposition to make
the Benz the favorite. 1t has a slight
ly larger engine. the cylinders being
1856 millimeters in diameter and the
stroke 200 millimeters.
The Fiat has a bore of 1875 milli-
meters and a stroke Of 1876 millimeters.
1t is said that the Italian car develops
2O6 brake horse power, so that the
German racer may be credited with
21O or 215 horse power under the same
conditions.
In the matter of demonstrated speed
the German hier is credited with the
best figures. a half mile at Brooklands
at the rate of 12724 miles an hour. The
Flats time on the English course was
slower bv about two miles an hour 1t
is understood, however, that the lat
ter's time was taken as part of a com
plete run around the oval, while its
rival was timed from a flying start on
the straight" which would give 1t
slight advantage.
AS between Oldield and De Palma
on a wide straightaWay course, such
as the Florida beach affords, there is
little choice among local AUTOMOBILE
lists. 1t is a question of guiding the
car while it is delivering its limit OF
speed. and either driver is considered
capable of finding the shortest way
from start to finish.
Reports from Florida indicate that
the beach at the present time is in
ideal condition. If it remains so the
three records for the distance are like
w TO fall. For one mile the best fig
tires by a gasoline car are 80 80, and
by a steam car 2S is. At five miles
the figures are minutes "a seconds,
and at ten miles minutes IA % sec
onds. In the coming race the fractions
will be taken to the hundredth of
second by means of a device brought
out only last year.

MAXWELL ENTERED FOR
CONTEST WITH FRANKLIN
United States Motor Company Ac-
cepts Challenge for Trans
continental Race

President Briscoc of the United
States Motor company has accented
for the Maxwell company the chal-
lenge issued a few days ago by the
Franklin concern for a transcontinent-
al contest. The challengers issued an
advertisement in which they dared any
type of car, regardless of cost or size.
tn enter into a race across the United
States. President Briscoe Immediately
came back with an acceptance and
named the $500 Maxwell runabout as
the one to compete against the 1880
Franklin.
Mr.. Briscoe states in his advertise
nent that the contest must be under
the sanction of the American Automo-
bile association and in conformance to
the contest rules az adopted by the
Manufacturers Contest association.
1t IS the opinion OF the president of
the new combine that the two-passen-
ger Maxwell runabout can outdlstance

HARRISBURG CLUB TO
TAKE LONG AUTO RUN
Pennsylvania Motor Club Plans En-'
DURANGO Tour to Occupy
Four Days

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 13.-The
fourth annual reliability contest of the
Motor club of Harrisburg will be held
May 8, 10, II and II, and from interest
already shown by manufacturers prom
ises to be one of the largest runs that
has been held in the east for several
years. Several prospective routes which
have not been touched by runs of
like character are now under consider
alton. and the contest committee of the
Harrisburg club will make its final de-
cision within a few days.
Although the entry blanks have not
been issued. twelve bona fide entries
have already been registered, and there
have been several bids from prominent
manufacturers and dealers for the
privilege Of donating the pathfinding
and some of the ofiiciau cars for the
run. The contest for 1910 will follow
closely along the lines of the success
full four-day run to Washington. Bat
tim ore, Williamsport, Wilkes Barre and
Easton. held last year. and will be fol-
lowed by a rigid technical examination
of all cars.
Two routes now under consideration
are from this city to Pittsburg and
return. and another from this city to
Buffalo and return. Both of these
routes would take in many prominent
cities and towns where the interest in
the automobile is just awakening to a
great extent The run to Buffalo is
now most favored. as it would take in
such cities as Sunbury. Williamsport,
Elmira. Ithaca. Rochester, Buffalo,
Clean, Emporium and many northern
tier towns in Pennsylvania.
Four Glasses of Contestants
There will be four classes in the con-
test regulated by price of cars, as in
former years, and there will be hand
some trophies for the winners in each
class. All of these trophies will be
donated by prominent men or Organiza-
tiOns. and viii be more attractive
trophies than We're offered in former
years. The trophy donated by Governor
Edwin ;. Stuart last year, and won by
Franklin, was one of the largest and
most handsome trophies on exhibition
at the various automobile shows this
season.
The date for the contest was origin
ally fixed from May to :. but in order
to allow the Quaker City Motor club
to hold a reliability run during the
latter part of April and the first two
days of May, the Harrisburg club
waived its sanction TO the dates. and
the contest board of the American Au-
tomobile association granted a sane
ton for the days now set for the con-
test
Prominent A. A. A. officials will act
in the capacity of officials for the con-
test and all efforts will be made to
have the contest even more satisfac-
tory than the three former ones. The
Harrisburg club, i'm its three runs. has
never had a dispute or a protest of any
kind from any Contesting individual or
manufacturers Chairman j. Clyde My
ton and Secretary w. r. Douglas of
the contest committee are now busily
engaged in preparing for the contest.
and all information pertaining to en-
tries can be gained from them.

Stricken In Siuht of Goal.

On the broad highway OF victory, al,
the disappointment and hardships Of
strenuous career left behind him.
and with the gateway to a greater
career just ahead Of him, he Is strick
en- in sight of the goal and dies on
the threshold OF the realization of his
fondest ambition.
Captain BToward was remarkable
man in more senses than one. He
arose from the utmost obscIrrity and
through a checkered career, graduate
built up reputation for rugged worth
and sturdy strength of character
When he announced his candidacy for
Governor of Florida. a comparative
few regarded him as a serious con
tender; but he struck popular chord
and was elected. One unsuccessful
candidacy for the United States Sen
ate which seemed the height Of his
ambition, was followed only two years
later by a successful candidacy: and
he defeated one Of the strongest men
and one of the best Senators Florida
ever knew.-Tampa Tribune

IN public affairs he made his on

same as Abraham Lincoln did. and the
impression he made among the com.
mon people was almost as memora

When assuming the duties Of tho
gubernatorial Office he measured m
to its responsibilities and never for
moment lost his popularity and his
hold upon the people grew stronger
which was shown by his elevation to
the United States senate by a direct
vote of the people in hard fought
and stirring primary.
The newspapers throughout the
country spread his fame. and his en-
trance into that august body was look

with peculiar interest -
Surely in his taking off it seems
that death, indeed, loves a shining
mark.-Ocala Banner.

The Cali Coming
From the South.

The Cincinnati Enquirer. one OF
the most conservative. careful ana
able newspapers in the country has
recently published an article on the
south that merits the attention OF
every one in this section on account
of It's fairness az we'll as for the start
ling truths IL tells about the growth
and prosperity of the cotton states.
The Cincinnati paper says that Oh
account Of the census returns and Of
the reports Of the crops. the manufac-
turers and the mines, the eyes OF the
whole world are on the south. and
says that this section is having the
same influx Of population that the
Middle West had a half century ago,
and that the Northwest had in the
seventies and eighties Of last century.
The writer tells Of the genial climate
and the fertile soil says no one must
think that the South has reached Its
zenith. II recites the love Of the
southerner for his section. saying
Once a southerner. always South
erner."
The article concludes as follows:
The call of the south Is now on the
entire nation, and the practical New
Inglanders and the shrewd and sturdy
westerners alike appreciate the advan.
tages Of the south. encircled on the
north and west by a population largely
dependent uopn its products and its
patronage, and upon the east and the
south by the oceans which give 1t &C.
cess to all the ports Of the world.
The south contains in itself all the
natural elements of powerful nation.
Its soil, It's mines, its natural re.
sources. so numerous and so varied !;
its rivers, its ports, It's posllion uDon
the continent, and its relative position
with the states Of such greater rigor
Of climate are magnets to those who
desire health with wealth, ease with
prosperity.
Medical genius has freed It from
the dreadful fevers of yore. and today
its Atlantic and Gulf coasts are sani.
tarium for the world.
The manufacturers Of Cincinnati,
the merchants Of Cincinnati, the other
active business men of Cincinnati will
build wisely. well and probably by
establishing themselves solidly with
the business elements Of the south.
Great ~ has been the gain Of popu-
lation by the south for two decades,
the next ten years will show greater
gains than the twenty that have
passed.

Pensacola Must Welcome
Visitors to the Fair.

1t is only about three weeks until
the opening day of the great Interstate
Fair which is to be held in this city.
There Is no longer any doubt that
thousands and thousands of visitors
will be here from all the counties in
the district, from all over the state OF
Florida and Alabama and to some ex-
tent from all over the country
While the hotel accommodations of
Pensacola are as good as those of any
city Of this size in the country and
far better than most Of them, there
will not be room in the hotels for even
a small part of the immense throng
that will flock to Pensacola from No
vember z to IL. This overflow must
be taken care of. The hospitable peo-
pie Of Pensacola must open their
homes and assist in taking care Of
these visitors. Any family having
one or more rooms to rent should
notify the publicity bureau Of the fair,
in the lobby Of the Brent building, so
that the room may be registered and
the information Of its location given
out to visitors.
These thousands Of visitors are
coming to Pensacola expecting to have
the time of their lives and it would be
| a sad commentary on Pensacola's
greatness should they visit the city
and have nowhere to sleep.
In this connection it may be said
| that there are hundred ways in
which the citizens of Pensacola can
assist in to success of the fair.
They can exhibit anything they have
that will fit in any of the classes,
| whether it be farm products, a fancy
driving horse or curio for the
museum. They can also decorate
their houses and help give to the city
that gala day appearance that is so
necessary to the success of anything
of this kind and they can give a
hearty personal welcome to every
visitor to the city that they meet dur
ing the week.

VOX POPULI.
SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE
NOT THE MOST ILLlTERATI
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal
Apropos Father Turner's letetr in
The Journal of yesterday, relating to
illiteracy in Portugal and in Spain,
would add my own limited observa-
ton on the same subject.
In my capacity as engineer Of the
United States dredge Caucus, I ship
as firemen, almost entirely, Spaniards
and Portuguese In the five years the
Caucus has been in commission I have
had one hundred men OF those nation
alltles, and not one Of them but could
write his name and read, in his own
language; and those men came from
the ranks of the lowliest class of their
respective people.
This may not be proof that illiteracy
does not exist in these countries, but,
compared with men of our own coun-
try and from some sections of it that
could be named, 1 believe the young
Spaniard and the Portuguese who must
toll for a living is not, in point of
education, much behind, if any. the
average young man Of many of our
states of the Union
l have known men. young men.
many of them born in this land Of free
schools in the mountainous districts Of
West Virginia. for instance, who.
though naturally intelligent. were en-
tirely illiterate and I suppose others
have had the same experience in other
sections of the country
l believ the nations Of Europe which
are sending their surplus population
TO US. are paying nbre and better at
tention to education now than in the
past, SO that it seeds to be not a fair
statement Of facts that the percentage
Of illiteracy is now what is was fifty
years ago.
