INFORMATION SECURED
OF HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH
Manufacturers Manifest Much In
terest in GIidden Tour
for 1910

Manufacturers of automobiles who
purpose putting machines in the 1910
Glidden tour have begun to display an
unusual amount of interest in high
ways in the southern states. Not since
the old days, when armies were moved
expeditiously through the mud and
over pike roads, has there been such
an intelligent effort to obtain informa-
ton.
That there will be even more diff
ficulties than were encountered in the
wisconsin Alleghenies" during the
1909 Glidden tour is the opinion of men
who have driven automobiles over a
portion Of the probable official A. A. A.
reliability route. Not a little valuable
road information, logging data and
geographical notes collected by the
Mitchell Ranger expedition on its
strenuous scouting trip over the pro-
posed course of the big reliability con-
test has been gratuitouSly distributed
among manufacturers by the Mitchell
Lewis Motor company Of Racine imme-
diately following the receipt of the
field notes of Driver Frank Zirbies,
who Is plotting the Mitchell Ranger car
over the long route, with q view of
terminating the expedition in Chicago
early in April.
The scouts are now on the last nalI
of the journey, having passed Dallas,
Tex, the turning point, during the last
week. 1t should be easy sailing from
now on, and Zirbies Is still confident
that he will reach Chicago. according
to schedule, the first week in April.
Road conditions since leaving Louis
vile battle description" writes Zirbies.
I'VE thought we had conquered the
worst of these conditions just before
reaching Memphis, but instead of i'm
proving the roads became more try
ing after leaving that point.
"In getting across the Mississippi
and White river bottoms we had to
take recourse to the old levee roads
which had been eroded by floods and
rains and often were as rough as
Idaho canyons. AS we penetrated In
terrier Arkansas we still found the
roads deep in mud and water in some
places two feet deep. believe the
Red river bottoms between Hot Springs
and Texarkana gave us as much
trouble as any of the others. We
agreed that the roads here were the
worst on earth, it having taken us
eight hours to travel twenty-five
miles,"

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
IN RUN TO MEXICO CITY
Flag to Flag Contest viii Be for
Trophy Offered by Den-
YER Man

The flag to flag contestants leave
Denver, Colo, Monday, May 2, bound
for the City Of Mexico, in a contest of
endurance and reliability under the
American Automobile association rules
and sanction, and competing for the
trophy offered by G. A. Wahlgreen of
Denver.
c. f. Van sIcklen of the Fal Motor
company of Chicago gives the follow
ing interesting reasons for entering
the flag to flag tour:
"Our reasons for entering this con-
test are various. In the first place
we feel that the territory through
which the tour goes has a remarkable
future for the automobile industry and
also will prove the merits of the con-
testing cars. We feel sure that 1t will
not only stimulate the good roads In
terest in the southwest, but that they
will be practically the first on the
grounds and all the cars that make a
good showing will no doubt receive
the preference Of future business.
1--WE intend entering our regular
stock chassis, model M toy-tonneau
type, and feel that this car Is partIcu-
larly adapted to the conditions owing
to the fact that 1t Is a very strongly
constructed car.
1--WE have a hollow crank shaft lub-
rication which is very essential on
tour of this kind owing to the fact
that It would not be necessary for us
to carry such an amount of extra
lubricating oil as on ordinary condi-
tions. Running at a reasnable speed
we can attain as high as 700 or 800
miles to a filing of two and one-halI
gallons. the oil being used over and
over again; after being strained each
time 1t Is forced through the system
by a self-contained driven pump.
"There are various other details that
would lead US to believe that we would
have an equal show with other cars
that would be entered. 1t will, OF
course, be necessary for us to con-
struct a special body for carrying wa,
fer etc. as well as other special
equipment that will be necessary on
the trim"

the three years before the name of the car
was changed to the Alco and it is explicitly
stated that now most Of the alloys which
formerly had to be imported are obtainabla
oy the American Locomotive company from
American steel makers.
The formulae worked out by the metallur-
gists, with the aid OF imported metals from
all over Europe, now serve as specifications
on which material is ordered, subject to pass
ing all the physical tests and yielding the
same analyses
This Is revelation which not only has Inn
portance to the industry, but is of interest to
the general run OF automoblists There is
significance In 1t far beyond the present ben

'PUNCHERS' ABANDON THE
BRONCO FOR AUTO

All out through the western country
the cowboy OF the past has forsaken
the tough and wiry bronco" for the
motor car in rounding up the herd,
For cattle and sheep the never-failing
ace-devouring motor car has replaced
the agile bronco for three distinct rea-
sons First, because they do not eat;
second, because they tire less and can
travel long distances without becoming
foundered, and, third, because they
never buck or run away. In fact the
automobile has become a familiar and
indispensable article of real merit upon
both farm and ranch.

AUTO GUIDE is LATEST
BOON TO TOURING CLASS
Routes Arranged in Rolls and Are
Easy to Handle

Through the invention Of a clever
Boston automobilist by the name Of
Baldwin the great bugbear of motor
car owners and drivers who desire to
tour or take long journeys has been
removed The inventor calls his device
the auto guide" and with 1t the au-
| tomobilist may tour from town to town
and state to state by day or night,
without fear of losing the road through
the inefficiency of the guide book or the
puz2ling maps.
The auto guide itself is a cylinder Of
aluminium which clasps securely to the
steering column, being as simple in
construction as 1t is accurate and prac-
tical in principle. The interior mechan-
ism is surprisingly free from compli-
Gated parts consisting of brass reels
operated by gears which in turn is
controlled by the hand wheel and con-
tains within a small cylinder a battery
and a a-candlepower light The whole
fits snugly into and is removable from
the small fixed outer case which is
clamped to the steering wheel before
the drivers eyes and out of the way.
The route sheets are attached to the
reels in much the same. way that a
film is to the reels in a kodak. The
route is thus under the operators eye
from start to finish, by day and night
and can be turned backward and for
ward at the will of the operator. 1t
takes but a second to insert a new
route, and hundreds of them can be
carried in the same space that would be
occupied by a cumbersome map or
bulky guide book Mr.. Baldwin has al
ready mapped out the entire eastern
states, and is now making arrange
ments with the Jackson Automobile
company to start several Jackson cars
path finding over some of the western
routes. great many of the cars in
the coming Glidden tour will be
equipped with the Baldwin auto guide

OVERLAND DECLARES WAR
ON AUSTRALIAN MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2.-"Four
wears from today the American auto
mobile will be the leader among all
other nations cars in Australia de-
spite the present-day supremacy OF
the European machines"
That was the prediction OF George
C. Eager, the famous Australian au-
tomobile expert, just before he sailed
for Australia from this city.
Conditions are very similar to what
they were in the United States four
or Ave years ago." continued Mr.. Eag-
err, who is the chief of the foreign in
vasion" forces of the Overland auto
mobile In Australia.
"The foreign invasion being con-
Quoted now under the expansion pol
icy of President John WHY'S of the
WHY'S Overland company, will be a
success. That is practically assured.
1 expect it to be the wedge into Aus
tralia for American cars and Ameri-
can methods of automobile distribu-
tion.
"The situation Is this: Foreigners
cannot compete with American meth
ods and American products in values
up to $2500. European cars are largely
a matter of assemblage, and, of course,
cannot be made at as low cost as the
American factory built car, and at the
same time retain the high standard
that is absolutely essential"

MIcHELlN COMPANY WINS SUIT

A lawsuit, pending for more than q
year, between Michelin g. Co. of France
and the Austrian Continental company,
regarding the ownership and use of the
trade mark "Semelle,' to designate an
anti-skid pneumatic tire, has just been
decided in favor of the Michelin COM
pany. The imperial and royal minister
of public works of Austria states in his
decision that the word "Semelle," so
universally used by the house of Mich
elm to designate the anti-sIid tire, is
an acceptable trade mark, and that
Michelin be accorded exclusive use of
the same The words "Michelin Sc
melle. Patented" stamped in the fa-
miliar leather steel-studded tread of
each Michelin anti-skid tire, is a means
of ready Identification, and is a protec-
ton to the purchaser, who wants to be
sure that he gets Michelin anti-skids
when he orders them.

majority for vindication.
This failure Of the committee to
take final action, which, 1t is said de.
termined Secretary Ballinger's course.
1t was said today by close friend
of the secretary that had the majority
of the committee been ready to report
at the Minneapolis meeting he would
have rendered his resignation to the
president and urged its acceptance on
the ground that the dissensions TO
which he had been a party were de-
trimental to the public interest.
When the committee failed at Min
neapolis to take action as a whole
and when there was no quorum at the
meeting in Chicago, 1t became appar-
ent that no decision could be looked
for practically for several months.
This situation is said to have con-
vinced Ballinger that his position, in
spite of the continued support of the
president, has become untenable. I'm

DESIGNATING BANKS WILL
GET NO STATE DEPOSITS

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 17.-Attorney
General West Friday wrote formal
letter to State Treasurer Jim Meme
fee. ordering that official not to de-
posit any state funds in any bank of
the state until it could be determined
whether they were discounting state
paper or not. The attorney general
would allow state deposits in no banks
discounting state papers.
The attorney general bases his de-
mand of the state treasurer on an old
statue providing that the state treas
urer shall select the repositories for
state funds subject to the approval Of
the governor and the attorney gem
eral.
State Treasurer, Menefee, who re-
ceived the letter late this afternoon,
seemed to think nothing of great inn
portance involved. He does not know
of any discounting Of state warrants,
he said. One or two holders Of the
public building warrants, which must
not be confused with the regular state
warrants, had let them go at dis
count. It had been understood in or
der to reap some ready cash, but the
state warrants were going at par and
the public building warrants, so far
as the state was concerned, were being
sold only at par and with accrued in
