HUPP CAR GETS A
severe TRYOUT
Wisconsin Man Drives Nearly
500 Miles Without Replen-
ishing Water in Radiator

Travelling almost 500 miles. half of
that distance over the rough and hilly
roads OF Wisconsin, without replenish-
ing the water in the cars radiator, was
a noteworthy feature of the recent run
of number of new Hupmobiles from
the Detroit factory to Chicago and
points in Indiana, Illinois and Wis
consin.
The car which thus withstood the
severe test on the HupmobiIe cooling
system was a torpedo model. driven by
T. H. Field of Rice Lake, Wis. which
was the objective point of the trip.
Upon arrival at Rice Lake Field filed
the radiator-the first time since leav-
ing Detroit-and found that it lacked
but three quarts of being full
Field Travelled with the other cars
until Chicago was reached. Leaving
there at 1 p. M, he drove 122 miles to
Milwaukee by supper time. After leav-
ing Milwaukee he found the roads deep
in sticky, red clay or rough and frozen
hard.
In spite of these conditions and the
hills which were encountered, the best
days run was made after leaving Mil
waukee. This was 257 miles. on 10
gallons of gasoline, an average of 25.7
miles per gallon.

WHITE GAS CAR USED
FOR HUNTING COYOTES

Almost daily we hear of some unique
use for an automobile. It has done
almost everything from climbing the
Capitol steps at Washington to fur
nishing power to operate a corn sheller
in Kansas.
But it remained for Martin & Brown
of PecOs. Tex, to demonstrate a mo-
tor cars value in hunting coyotes.
These men recently spent almost a
whole day in running down these scav-
engers of the plains.
Each man drove White 20-3O horse
power gasoline car. When coyote
was sighted the cars would separate
and approach from different directions.
The hunt was exciting and several
pretty Chases resulted. The coyote is
no slouch on his feet at any time and
the experience of being chased by
something he had never seen did not
tend to slow him up a least. He led
the chase through the worst sections
of the country where the quality of
the two White cars was put TO several
severe tests.
At times the hunters were I'm some
danger. for the coyotes lost no chances
to run through prairie dog towns. The
brakes, however, proved efficient, the
cars were under perfect control and
no injury resulted.
The men say that at times the coy
Otes would turn at right angles or
even retrace their tracks. This, of
course. required quick action on the
part of the drivers. but the cars were
so flexible and picked up so readily
that few coyotes escaped as a result Of
this ruse.
Naturally the two owners are very
enthusiastic about hunting I'm autOmO-
biles. They seem as proud of their
machines as an English lord is of his
favorite hunter.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO
RUN AUTO IN ENGLAND

United States Consul Charles n.
Daniels. located at Sheffield, in discuss
ing the automobile situation in Eng
land. says in a recent report:
The use of the automobile shows a
steady increase, but it is safe to say
that at least so per cent of all the cars
in use in this city and vicinity, if not
in the whole United Kingdom, are Of
the heavy, high power touring type.
Many of the physicians of this city
have given up the use of horses and
carriages and have adopted the auto
mOOlle, ana having ADJUSTED their prac-
tice to the speed of the car they will
be loath to give up their use.
The new motor car taxes which went
are issued upon the basis of horse
power units, promises to make the
keeping Of high power cars so eXpen-
slVe luxury that only the very rich
Or the very eXtravagant can afford to
use them. The new tax rate is from fl
$3.50 for motor bicycle to f42
l$20439) for cars above so horsepower.
It is stated that many of these large
cars are being freely offered at very
low prices and that there is practically
no demand for cars above 90 horse
power. the most popular at the present
! time being for those under 10 horse
power, the duty on which is not above
"a Cs19.4D.
Unless this demand has been fore
seen by British manufacturers it must
take them some time to adjust their
works TO the changed order of things
and this situation seems TO offer an
opportunity TO the American manufac-
turer Of a reliable and reasonable priced
car Of low power. The increased tax
IS bound 70 help break down the pre1u-
dice against the car of this type and
the American with such car and the
ability and willingness to demonstrate
its economy of operation and its capa-
bilities ought to find this market in a
particularly receptive mood. That this
invasion by the surplus product of the
American factories is feared is evidenced
by the proposition, already made, to put
an import duty on automobiles and thus
preserve the market for the home
ma nufacturer"

RAIN CREATES A
DEMAND FOR NOBBY
Weinstock= Nichols Company
Receives Increased Order for
Popular NOnskid Tire

The inclement weather of the past
two days called forth a great demand
for nonskid tires and devices An ex-
ample of this is given in the report of
Robert Weinstock of WeinstockNichO
company local agents for the Morgan
and Wright Nobby tread tires. The
rush for the heavy nonskid Nobby tread
began on Friday afternoon, when the
weather portended a storm, and con-
tinued all day yesterday. These tires
are so designed as to make it unneces-
sary TO use the skid chains in wet
weather, thus doing away with the
fastening of that device to the tires,
the wear that is caused by it, and the
sound of their rattle on the streets.
Fitted with knobs. the Morgan and
Wright Nobby treads serve the same
purpose. filing the place of resilient
tire and a safety device from skidding.

-'Cslifornia's golden opportunity TO
redeem itself to the motorist has come
through the passing Of the amendment

ment Of the highways that interlace
this state" SAYS John H. Eagal, sales
manager of the local branch of the

portunity which should be taken ad-
vantage Of with the most intelligent
application Of the best Of knowledge
OF road construction. the knowledge of
the civil engineers who laid the plans
for the building Of the wonderful
highways Of Europe which. by those
who have Travelled over them by motor
are held UP as examples Of road con

California already has several roads
which could be benefcially used as eX-
smples of high class road construction.
and that nearest home is the famous
FoothiH boulevard. which runs from
Oakland 10 Hayward, a distance OF only
u miles. Yet without doubt one of the
finest highways Of the United States.
AN essential feature of highway
construction is TO make the road suf-
1icientlv wide TO permit the easy pass
ing Of vehicles: a second feature is the
roadbed. which experience has taught
us rs best when constructed of small
rocks not over two or three inches in
diameter. According to the best posted
engineers this should be thoroughly
rolled and wetted down to eliminate as
much as possible the forma tion Of
holes I'm the road after its completion.
The elimination OF dangerous
curves in old roads wherever possible
IS another feature which should be
given serious attention. This. Of course.
eats into money, but IL must also be
remembered that with the elimination
of these there follows also the ulti-
mate saving of life. Some may argue
that the elimination Of dangerous
curves also means the oblitera ton Of
certain amount Of picturesQueness
but this does not necessarily follow.

New Nominees for Congress Coming

WASHINGTON, d. c., March L.
Members of the present congress are
giving much thought these days to the
makeup of the next one, and stand
pat republicans who have their ears
of private conversation admit that
whatever my be the result OF the fall
elections, the progressive republicans
are sure to have their numbers greatly
Increased in the house and senate af-
ter March of next year. There are
fifty-five members of the present
house, thirty-one republicans and
twenty-four democrats, who hold their
seats by majorities or pluralities Of
less than 1000, and it is in the districts
represented by these men that the pro-
gressive republicans hope to make
their largest gains next November. At
tempts will be made in each of the
districts to force the nomination of
progressive by the republicans, and
with probable success in a majority of
cases. Thus, in the first Nebraska
district, now represented by John A.
Mcguire, a democrat, who was elect
ed in 1908 by less than 1000 majority.
William Hayward, secretary of the re-
publican national committee, has just
announced his candidacy on a plat
form which declares against the re-
election of Cannon as speaker and for
amendment of the house rules ITO the
end that the power to legislate may be
taken from the few and restored to
the many" Hayward will be opposed
at the primary by Representative
Pollard, standpatter, but reports
from Nebraska are to the effect that
the former has popular sentiment b.
hind him, and that the chances are
all in favor of his nomination. His
candidacy is the first of many of the
same sort sure to be disclosed during

maries and conventions which begins
