MERCER MERCURY ON
WAY HERE FROM GOTHAM
Auto Dashing Across Continent
Toward Pacific Coast to
Mako Record

The 30-horsepower Mercer car has
left New York on it's trip from coast
to coast, with Los Angeles as its OBJ
jective point. The car is in charge of
C. H. Bigelow, a well known western
pilot who expects to set a new worlds
record for the distance. Mr.. Bigelow
hopes to open a new route to the coast
and to secure appropriations for new
roads so that within a few years mo-
torists can make the trip from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast through the
most picturesque part of the country in
comparatively less time than is now
possible over the present unsafe trail.
Asides from the missionary road work
Mr. Bigelow intends to lower the time
record from New York to the coast,
held at present by Franklin car,
which went the distance in 362 hours,
alternating drivers and running night
and day. Mr. Bigelow will travel but
twelve or fourteen hours daily and will
drive the car as far as New Mexico,
where if he arrives on schedule time
he will be met by Harold Hanshue, the
famous road and track driver, who will
run the Mercer part of the remaining
distance of 800 miles. The distance for
the entire trip of the transcontinental
endurability run is approximately 1000
miles.
The route as outlined by Mr.. Bigelow
will pass close to the petrifed forests
the Grand Canyon and many other
points of interest of world renown.
Already the car has been dubbed the
Mercer Mercury because of a flying
trip made to New York from the fac
tory at Trenton

INCREASES ENGINE HEIGHT
The overhead valve increases the
height of the engine a few inches,
which may sometimes be a disadvan-
tage. In the T or l. head engine there
is nothing above the cylinder unless it
is the spark plug or piping. The valves
are seated in pockets at the side Of
the cylinder, and are opened directly
by the tappet. There may be one or
two cam shafts, depending on whether
the form Is L or T, but the total num-
ber of small parts is considerably less
than in the type with overhead valves.
SO far as efficiency is concerned, the
T and l. designs are about on par.
The necessary pockets on the sides OF
the cylinder head greatly increase the
area of the combustion chamber, but
under certain conditions, where low,
compact motor Is required, they form
the best design.
Cylinders are cast separately, in
pairs, or zen bloc (all the cylinders
of an engine in one casting). The en-
CINE with each cylinder cast separately,
and machined all over, inside and out,
like the Cadillac, has the most perfect
construction, because to have a motor
work perfectly the cylinder must al
ways be true and straight, and unless
the cylinder be evenly heated all round,
the expansion due to the different tenn
peratures In different spots" in the
cylinder will warp" it out of true; and
unless the metal of the cylinder has
the same thickness all round it will not
all be of one temperature.
In cylinders cast with jackets this
true and even thickness of the cylinder
walls is impossible to secure.
But in designing your particular en-
gine there are a lot of other things to
be considered. The separate cylinder
is expensive to build, it makes long
enging. The zen bloc" is the shortest
motor possible, under modern foundry
methods it can be built at a low price,
and while it may not be perfect, yet it
does the work.

THREE DAY RUN LAST
Of JUNE AUTO BOOST
Pathfinder Car to Leave st. Louis
May 16 Beginning Its
Tour

The official pathfinder Buick car
started Monday to find a road for the
three days reliability tour of the St.
Louis Automobile Manufacturers and
Dealers association for the Star tro-
ply The Buick seventeen with
Ralph Delaney to drive it, has been
selected by the contest committee and
1t will be the only car so authorized
to undertake this task.
The contest committee, Messrs.
Frank r. Tate, c. e. Michel and John
H. Phillips, has had several meetings
during the week and the decision was
reached to have the proposed tour
cover two days in Missouri and one
in Illinois. Tentatively the route will
be for the first day from st. Louis to
Mexico and Moberly, the latter being
the night stop The second days run
will be from Moberly through Macon
and Hannibal to Louisiana, Mo-, stop
ping for the night at the latter town.
The run of the third and last day will
be from Louisiana across the Missis-
sippi river, through Roodhouse, Car
rollton, Jerseyville and Alton, back to
ST. Louis. The dates set are June 2S,
20 and 30.
Secretary Lee of thes Automobile
Manufacturers and Dealers associa-
ton has applied to the American Au-
tomobile association for a sanction for
the run. This sanction will probably
have to come through the Automobile
Club of st. Louis, which is affiliated
with the A. A. A.
The committee has planned to make
the run for each day about $50 miles.
The tour will be made as rigid and
tough as possible so as to try out the
cars, but in addition to that it will
prove to be big boosting trip for the
automobile interests of st. Louis all
along the route. The territory through
which the run will be made naturally
belongs to st. Louis from general
business standpoint, and it is the pur-
pose of the motorists to show the peo-
pie that they can also depend upon
st. Louis for their automobiles.

DRIVERS ARE RECKLESS
ROUNDING SHARP TURNS
Wheel Tracks Always IrrefutabIe
Proof of Way Corners Taken

Even the most expert drivers of
cars are liable to censure for the man.
ner in which they turn corners. There
Is evidence of this in the tracks of the
wheels which can be seen at almost
any short turn. One will find that
very many cars fail to hug closely
to the right-hand curb and make the
mistake of not swinging out far
enough.
No doubt there are a few drivers,
amateur or otherwise, who would be
insulted If you called them unintelli-
gent, and would think you were mad
If you called them reckless, but the
evidence of the wheel tracks which
some leave behind shows the lack of
forethought at least, for 1t may be
used as discriminating evidence in case
OF accident, now that the traffic or
dinance is in force.
1t must be believed that in case of
an accident on a blind curve, or a
short corner in the city or out, that
the blame can possibly be fixed on one
OF the drivers participating. One may
be driving at sufficiently low speed to
avert catastrophe, but the car COM
ing in the opposite direction might be
operated by a driver who is not so
careful and who endeavors to take the
turn at high speed.
the reckless mans car will probably
be regarded as guesswork. He may
swear that he was going at ten miles
an hour and it may be difficult to dis
prove it; on the other hand, there may
be irrefutable and most damning evil
dences of wheel marks to show that the
other car was being driven around the
corner on the wrong side of the road.
If, added to this evidence, charges are
made that the latter car was also be-
ing driven far too fast, so fast that it
could not be turned onto its proper
course without colliding sidewise with
the other vehicle, it is more than prob
able that it will be believed and de-
cided that a driver who would drive
on the wrong side of the road might
also drive too fast.
This long imaginary case is given to
impress upon the owner, whether he
drives his car himself. or instrusts it
to a hired chauffeur, the Importance of
keeping constantly in mind that an au-
tomobile generally leaves trail of the
pneumatic tire behind 1t as telltale
evidence of the direction in which it
has been driven.
