NEW FEATURE IN TIRES
Is ON PRACTICAL ORDER
Horseshoe Company Guarantees Out
put to Be Good for at Least
5000 Miles

new feature in tires has come to
town, and one that would appear to be
of the practical order, because of the
economy of construction and the guar
antee behind 1t of 5000 mills.
When these horseshoes, or cups,
are worn to such an extent that they
will not hold the clay the driver is
notified of the fact by the head of the
retaining riVet becoming shiny.
1t is time to renew the horseshoes by
taking off the old ones, with a tool
which is provided for the purpose.
They are replaced with new ones.
Each old horseshoe can be taken off
and a new one put in its place in one
minute-easily.
The Horseshoe tire is so named be-
cause the tread surface is studded with
miniature, metal horseshoes.
These horseshoes are closed about
the head of a rivet and form cups
which hold the road dirt. This packs
hard under the weight and impact of
the machine and actually takes almost
as much of the roadwear as the metal
which surrounds it.
The tread of the tire will show lit
tie or no wear so long as the horse
shoes are kept renewed to protect it,
which means continued good traction,
no slIidding and easier driving, and
they are absolutely puncture-proof
The tire is covered with three layers
of the best quality chrome leather and.
armored with the metal studs, it is
impossible TO puncture the tire with
broken glass, bones. or bottles and
sharp stones.
The horseshoe tire is not the result
of discovery" 1t is the result of
long and expensive effort of expert
ment-concentrated, scientific fight
against tire troubles and trials.
The company guarantees the user
against rim-cuts, blowouts and pune
lures, and witt the guarantee of 5000
miles of wear or replace the wornout
tire with new ones is certainly a long
advance in the trust of the manufac-
turers in their product.

Wis are the manufacturers and the
local agency for these tires is in room

1910 ALC0 AUTOMOBILE
FULL OF NEW FEATURES

The 1910 Alec is full of new features;
more so, perhaps, than any other car
at the Garden show. In the first place
it has been more than ever American
lied by the adoption of shaft drive
although the same imported cylinder
castings are used and the French prin-
ciple of keeping the center of gravity
as near the ground as possible is re-
tanned.
Those who have been through their
troubles with leaky radiators VIII take
interest in the trunnion support OF the
Alec radiator, which relieves it abso-
utely from all twisting strains from the
frame.
The Alto rear axle construction,
which has been a distinctive feature
on the town car for several years and
much commended by engineers, is
found in bigger form on the 6O-horse
power car and is the most remarkable
illustration of one-piece forging ever
seen in automobile construction.
An engineering attack on the road
souaks" so often developed in summer
time is manifested in the prevalence or
grease cups on the car, every part or
the running gear at all susceptible to
fabrication being provided with grease
cup.
Interesting developments appear IN
the steering gear, the control levers ana
the clutch; the bodies, too, are an on
new lines.
A new catalogue, explaining the de-
tails of the full line, has just been
issued and it is interesting from every
point of view, as we'll as handsome IN

CHASING COYOTES IN
AUTOS NEW TEXAS FAD
Animal Unable to Keep Up Fast Pace
and Is Finally Run Down
and Finished

Talk about your coyote chases, Ed
Hardin had one near Higgins, in the
Texas Panhandle, last week that
euualed John Abernathy's catching EN-
alive for the excitement" says Al Gotf.
a former Texas ranger, but now
deputy under United States Marshal
John r. Alternately. "While out with
a bunch of land seekers from Ken
lucky, in the northwest, part of the
county," conti1ued Goff, Hardin
flushed a coyote. Instantly he threw
landseekers and Hardin were streaking
it across the prairie.
1T is a well known fact that the
coyote is fleet of foot and that he can
turn and dodge with the best of deni-
zens of the wilds, but with Ed Har-
din at the steering wheel of a 30-horse-
power and a clear field there is no
coyote in the Panhandle that has a
shadow of a show.
Round and round, milling and turn
ing, twisting and lodging, that coyote
went over the plains, and at his heels
was Ed Hardin and his auto. Wherever
the coyote went, like Mary's little
lamb, the auto followed after. Spurred
by the fiendish thing behind him, the
like of which that coyote had never
seen before, the thief of the plains
flew at a pace that had never been
rivaled by any of the coyote breed
Such a chase could not be long
chase; such speed could not be long
maintained by the thing of flesh and
blood or the thing of steel and iron,
and the latter won. The machine ran
alongside the beast, and one of the
Kentuckians pulled his pocket piece
and with well directed bullet put an
end to Mr.. Coyote"

AUTOMOBILE ADVANCES
IN LINES OF PROGRESS

The history Of the inception and
gradual development of the automobile
is a record of constant advancement in
design, material and construction. In
no other field of industrial achieve
ments do we find such rapid and steady
progress, and because of the concentra-
tion of many active, energetic faculties
we have today the practical car and it's
perfected accessories. It's steady and
triumphant march and its evolution
from a so-called fad to the foundation
of great and permanent industry are
almost beyond belief. Every year has
furnished new and distinctive ideas and
improvements.
No one appreciates the development
in automobile construction so well as
those manufacturers of cars and acces-
sories, who have been closely associated
with the automobile since it's incep-
tion. They can readily recall the ad-
verse days when trip from New York
to Yonkers In a nerYe-racking three
wheeled contraption called a "motor
car" was regarded as a wonderful

AUTO EXHIBITION
TO ECLIPSE ALL
LOS ANGELES DEALERS DE-
TERMINED TO EXCEL
Intention of Committee Is to Present
Show of Machines Which Shall
Be Grandest Ever Seen on
the Pacific Coast

When February 16 arrives there will
be opened to the public in Los Angeles
one of the largest. most distinctive
and handsomest automobile show the
western coast ever has seen. This is
the exhibition to be made Of the pro
ductions of the licensed automobiles,
which means under the protection of
the Selden patents.
With vim and energy the committee
appointed at the recent meeting of the
association has been engaged busily
for the last few days negotiating for
suitable place in which to have 50
great an exhibit as will be made for
the ten days selected for the show,
and practically all of the details, the
principal one of which is the site,
probably the fourth floor of the Ham
burger stores, have been arranged.
This floor covering 10000 square feet,
brilliantly Illuminated and handsome
ly decorated, will give the finest and
most convenient location known to the
Pacific coast Every line of street
cars in the city will reach the Ham
burger stores, and as there will be
elevator service from the ground floor
to the fourth the public will be better
cared for than at any previous dis
play of automobiles ever given in Los
Angeles.
Many Cars Ordered
The telegraph wires have been heav-
lily burdened during the last few days
with orders for cars, and the manufac-
turers have responded with an eager
ness that assures a supply of the
choicest productions of their factories
for this exhibition and when the doors
are opened to the public it may be
assured positively the 1910 show of
the licensed dealers will surpass by far
anything in the show line ever at
tempted in this section of the country.
The matter of a manager for the ex-
hibition will be threshed out fully by
tomorrow. and he is certain to bR
hummer in the line of getting up an
exposition of the kind proposed, be-
cause the members of the association
are fully determined they will excel
anything of the kind ever held in the
United States, outside of the great
show of New York city.
The long list of dealers and their
cars as already published in these
columns merely indicates what the
members propose to give to the public.
While there is a friendly rivalry
among all of the dealers in the extent
and variety of the cars which will be
exhibited, there is perfect harmony
among them all. which welded as it
is in one common desire to make the
show of 1910 the greatest ever seen on
this coaster even west of Chicago
is working out the end which all de-
sire to see attained.
Novel and sumptuous decorations
will be the order Of the day in all de-
partments, and when the final ar
have been completed the
public will be invited to see one of the
most up to date automobile exhibits
they have ever attended.

would favor a two-days' road test, one

an excessive drinker, for how can he

other virtues may be? a great many
accidents are due to intoXication, or
partial intoxication, on the part of
chauffeurs. Also the drivers photo
graph should be placed on the license,

Next comes Frank Lescault, whose
opinions are thus expressed:
while a knowledge of mechanics is
desirable in a chauffeur I do not think
it is quite as essential as skill. l be-
lieve in a thorough examination of a
mans cleverness in driving a car be-
fore he is permitted to handle a ma

that system would be adopted here
many of our automobile troubles would
be done away with. And under the
law there should be the power of revo-
cation. which would bar from the pub
lie highways all violators of the law"
Al Poole comes next, as follows:
ANY one who drives a motor car in
New York realizes that there is urgent
need for prompt legislative action in
regard to the examination and licens-
ing of chauffeurs, and the quicker it
comes the sooner the black eye that
automobiling has received at the hands
of reckless, incompetent men will clear
up"

achievements They remember also that
such a trip necessitated a complete and
thorough overhauling of the entire
mechanism before it could be used
again with safety. That was not much
more than a decade ago, yet the auto
mobile and its accessories have reached
a degree of perfection not even dreamed
of at that time.
During the intervening years the
manufacturers have had but one
thought in mind-perfeCtion. There has
been a laudable ambition to achieve a
high standard and to maintain it, and
whole the builders of automobiles have
not yet quite succeeded in producing
the ideal car the manufacturers of the

brought their products to the highest

cause they have had a line of lesser re-

PLEASING LINES IN
NEW THOMAS TAXI
Working and Fixed Parts Are Made
Stronger, and Gears Can Be
Readily Reached by
Driver

The model A taxicab, the most re-
cent production of the Thomas Motor
Cab company of Buffalo, while a de-
parture from their previous product,
contains many features vastly differ
ent from those of 1909 and some rad
1cally different from those of any other
in the market.
Speaking generally, every working
as well as every fixed part has been
strengthened, the frame is deeper and
stronger, bridged at the inswept por-
tion. The front axle is drop forged,
l-beam in section and of a strength
found usually in fifty horse power
touring cars The rear axle shows an
advance in design and strength for
cab practice. The gear ratio is five to
one the safest, strongest and most en-
during of any used, inclosed in a re-
markably strong housing and tube,
inclOsing gears Of massive proportions.
The rear springs are 212 inches wide
and 40 inches between the centers. The
motor has the same bore and stroke
as in 1909, 33sX4 5-16 inches. 1t has a
larger crank shaft, connecting rods
and bearings. fabrication is main
tanned by a gear oil pump drawing
from a well, pumping four gallons per
minute over the valve gears and
thence to the crank case The mag
right hand side of the motor, the only
motor adjunct on that side. 1t is re-
movable by lOosening its strap and
lifting from its seat. The radiator is
placed at the dashboard, partly COW
cred by a sloping or Renault type of
hood. The clutch is of the we'll known
Thomas three-disk cork insert type,
inclosed and running in oil, and suf-
ticient for transmission of forty
horse power.
Driver on Left
The driver sits on the left of the cab,
the gear shifting and brake levers
being centrally placed for right hand
control. The clutch and brake are in
terconneCted in a single pedal oper-
ated by the left foot The throttle is
foot controlled; the ignition is at a
fixed point, following modern foreign
cab practice.
The transmission of forty horse pow
er size is placed in the center of the
car, with three speeds forward ard
reverse.
The body of the cab is of the Ian
daulet type, seating five passengers
in the livery type and four in the sta
tion type, the latter being provided
with suitable seat for the driver,
with baggage rack.
One of the most important features
in the cars appearance arises from
the extension of the roof to a line a
few inches beyond the dash in limou-
sine style: the lengthening of the
wheel base to 1OS inches: the use of
dash positioned radiator and the slop-
ing hood are also additions to its en-
semble.
