ENDURANCE RUNS ARE
GETTERS OF BUSINESS
OIdsmobiIe Co. Derives Benefit
from Showing of Cars

with the recurrence Of the endurance con-
test season. the past performances of auto
mobiles which have figured conspicuously in
them are brought freshly to mind and among
these none stands out more notably than that
Of the Oldsmobile, which last year was the
winner of the Norristown run in a field OF most
worthy competitors. That such runs are pro-
ductive of excellent business results has been
shown by the local selling record of this car
ever slnce and which today is approaching
the maximum OF the season.
William Brownsback. who has. just taken
an interest in the oldsmobile agency in the
city as vice president and general manager
said yesterday that he was delighted with the
impetus that the spring season has given the
automobile trade
.I always heard that the oldsmobile enjoyed
high reputation, but did not fully appre-
ciate," said Mr. Brownback, that it was
such a popular seller in this section Of the
country until I became intimately associated
with handling 1t. 1t is a pleasure to find that
the reputation of your car has gone before
you and / am confident that the record which
the Oldsmobile has made in public endurance
contests and other real tests of a cars ability
have done much to show the public Just what
sort of a car the oldsmobile is.
"It is gratifying to us as the local repre-
sentatves to be able to meet the demand
which has literally been pouring in upon us.
We have been receiving numerous orders for
both the four and six-cylinder cars, each
model having It's particular claim upon differ
ent classes of users, and each apparently
giving eminent satisfaction to customers. The
six-cylinder car has been particularly popular
with its extra long wheel base Of 1S0 inches
and its forty y-two-inch wheels. These large
wheels which a year ago were almost an
experiment have proved a practical solution
of many of the inequalities of country roads,
bridging over depressions that would other
wise mean a severe jolt to the car and to
Its occupants. 1t is such basic principles of
construction as these that have constantly
kept the oldsmobile in the fore rank of auto
mobiles. They are simply indicative Of the

COLUMBIA MAKER IS
SATISFIED WITH SALES
President NuckoIs Declares Buy.
ing Public Prefers Tried
Cars to Experiments

"That discriminating buyers still
cling to the tried and true products OF
established concerns and do not take
any chances with new products which
have not passed the experimental stage
is amply demonstrated by the heavy
sale of Columbia cars" says President
H. W. Nuckols of the Columbia Motor
Car company.
Buyers who pay $2750 for a car can
not afford to purchase anything but
those cars that have passed the expert
mental stage. A feature which has
strongly appealed to me is the fact that
we are selling 1910 Columbias to those
who bought our product eight and ten
years ago. 1t is also gratifying to see
our old agents still selling Columbia
cars. and there is probably no other line
of agents who keep their clientele year
in and year out as do Columbia dealers.
While 1t is true that there are many
new concerns being Incorporated, these
concerns cannot last at this stage of
the industry, simply because discrimin-
ating and experienced buyers have
learned that it does not pay to pur-
chase new cars when there are a suft1-
cent quantity of good cars on the mar
ket. l consider the Columbia one of
the three best motor cars made in
America, regardless of price. Never
before have we been in a better posi-
tion to carry into perfect execution
plans laid long ago to produce the best
possible line Of automobiles. With this
end in view, our organization is being
strengthened and additional equipment
is being installed in the already ideal
Columbia plant. All parts used in the
construction of Columbia cars are de~
signed, built and assembled in our own
factory by engineers, who from long
and continuous experience have become
experts, which fact makes the Colum-
bia far better proposition than an as
sembled car.

There are very few cities in this

Crump of Memphis, Tenn, who has
purchased the largest car that he could

To TIME MOTORDROME
RACES BY HOROCRAPH
New instrument Registers More
Accurately Than Any Other
Device in Use

The races at the Motordrome are
timed with new instruments, only one
Of which has been built, but Whlcn
registers the time as accurately as
lightning can do 1t.
IL is the horograph, the invention OF
C. H. Warner, who will arrive here
soon to operate the apparatus. Mr..
Warner comes here direct from tne
timed races at Daytona- Fla,
The horograph is now the official
time register of the American Auto
mobile association, and as only one OF
the Instruments has been built 1t is
necessary for such events to be otfi-
cially timed to be held when Mr.. War
ner can attend them.
w. H. Halliwell, Jr., who has timed
Los Angeles races heretofore, and who
&c Pacific coast agent for other instru-
ments of Mr.. Warmers manufacture,
will trv to persuade the latter to make
another horograph to be left on this
coast.
The machine is a delicate apparatus,
which is operated by an electrical wire
stretched across the race track. When
the automobile wheels cross this wire
an electrical connection is MADE wnlch
starts a tape running in the machine,
and on this tape is registered the exact
time of each lap as long as the auto
mobile runs. The record Is made au-
tomatically and there can be no dis
pute about it afterward.
The instrument consists essentially
of four type wheels mounted on
shaft driven by a small electric motor
and so arranged that they record the
exact time elapsed from the time the
instrument starts The first wheel in
dicates hours, the next minutes, the
third seconds and the fourth hun
dredths of a second.
The machine has been used in timing
number of big events in the east,
including the Vanderbilt cup race.

Nobody Advances Much, It Is Ar

From The Memphis News Scimitar
The turtle never worries. He lives 1t
is said in some parts OF the earth for
1000 years. very nearly that long. and
maybe longer. In fact nobody cares
very much just how long a turtle does
live. Living Loco years may be a good
thing for turtle. His only discovered
purpose is TO continue to exist But
animals that worry live more In a min
ute than the turtle does in his 1000
years.
We hear lot these days about Don't

Worry kills, they say. If It does, It 10

which is death. But what man would
want to live the life of turtle?
Tf there be any. he has nothing in him
ing ia him that he can respect
pimsef. He might tolerate himself.
lie could tolerate anything. liberation
would be his only virtue. You could spit
on him aud he would smile back You
could kick him and he would draw more
closely within himself and say nothing.
All lie wants IS 10 be let live.
This turtle on two legs is of no more use
than one Oh fotT. Ana his smell OF CON-
placency is as hard and shuts him In a.
closely from the nerpc-throbbing world
as does the shell OF the turtle.
The successful man has TO worry, and
he does. Worry is one of the best forms
of expression of mental activity. 1t 10
the reflection of dissatisfaction with ones
shortcomings or conditions. II is the
first incentive to Improvement. IT Is tho

Worrying trifles is foolish. Worry
ing other people with our worries Is per-
nicious. Yu can make life miserable for
yourself with the one and for everybody
who knows you with the other.
But don't be a turtle.
The man who never worries Is nothing
but an existence, unsatisfactory to HIM
self and disgusting to others. The mother
who never worries has had, the chances
are ten or twelve children born to her
