One of the newer automobile firms I'm
this city,, but one that is making its
influence felt in no uncertain manner,
rs the Rambler Automobile Company of
Washington. J. S. Sheldon is general
manager of the company, which has
temporary quarters in the Riggs House
pending the erection of a salesroom on
Connecticut avenue.
The Rambler line includes open and
closed cars, all with detachable fore
doors. The details and mechanical con-
structiOn of all are alike, and there are
two sizes-45 and 4-horsopuwer.
The Rambler model 60 has As horse

Rambler Sales in 1910.
An interesting sales consus was taken
among Rambler dealers for limited
period during 1910, In order to deter
mine the relative number OF cars pur-
chased by different classes of the pop
ulation. "
Four hundred sales, made during this
period, were reported as consummated,
and as they came from widely separ-
be said to have been taken at RANDOM
from Rambler sales in 1910
Practically every section of the Union
is represented. The list of those repre-
Sentlng different occupations who pur-
chased the Rambler during that limited
period include bankers, 81; doctors, q;
merchants, 81: architects 3; manufac-
tufers, 2J; contractors, II; engineers, 4;
retired capitalists and miscellaneous. SS.
Among the merchants there are men in
many business pursuits, and those
classed under farmers include also

WOMEN ARE PARTIAL
TO THE ELECTR|CS
Vehicle Is Peculiarly Adapt
ed to Their Various
Needs.

Woman's partiality for the electric
has been in a large measure responsible
for the success OF this type of automo-
bile. 1t Is a vehicle peculiarly adapted
to her needs, though 1t is a fallacy to
think that the value Of the electric Is
confined to such uses as the gentler
sex exact of II.
The physician can use the electric
with excellent convenience. Business
men making many calls In the course
of a day also will find the electric a
valuable vehicle. But mere man might
have been tardy in finding out the ad-
vantages of the electric had not the
other sex become enthusiastic. II Is
not hard to understand why the electric
appealed to milady.
It's Operation Learned Easily.
For a starter. it has the great ad-
vantage of being easily driven. I'm
doubtedly, the electric presents fewer
problems than the gasolene car, though
II is a fact that many women are now
skilled drivers of the latter type. But
anybody can drive an electric, and that
quickly Exemption from the need Of
cranking the car is an invaluable fea-
ture With only a few lessons milady
could drive a car, and with this skill
come a whole train of pIeasurable pos
sibiIities II she lives in the suburbs,
she Is emancipated from trolley cars.
To go into town OIL shopping or call
ing excursion, all she need do is to
take place in her electric. and make
the run in such time as suits her whim.
In this manner 1t Is also possible to
make a large number of calls in short
time, an important consideration for
women who find in social connections
a pleasure, but one that involves a
great deal of work.
Absence of 0dor Appeals to Women.
A rapid and comfortable conveyance
10 the theater Is another possibility of
the electric, and for shopping it could
not be surpassed. Its cleanliness forms
another item in it's favor. The absence
OF gasolene odors appeals to woman's
superior senSibilities.
Washington has rapidly come 60 the
front in adopting the electric, condi-
tiOns in this city being little short of
ideal. There are few hills of any con-
sequence, and the wide and well-paved
streets make the operation Of the cleo
trio a pleasure. Within its particular
field the electric is an ideal vehicle.
especially now that mileage of fifty
miles on one charge is readily possible.
The price of current has undergone a
reduction, which is another factor IA
voring the electric.
Many of the foremost designs OF cleo
trio vehicles will be exhibited at the
automobile show, which opens tomor-
row night.

HINTS ON CRANK|NG
YOUR AUTOMOBILE
Rules to Be Observed After
Machine Has Been Stand
ing Some Time.

starting a motor after IL has been
standing out in the cold for few hours,
OF In a cold garage over night, is no
Joke; and few hints on how to start
with the least amount OF cranking will
no doubt be appreciated by many. Per-
haps the best way to get a motor
started is to wrap a bunch of waste
loosely in cloth, saturate It with gaso-
iene' put Tablespoonful of gasoIene
in each cylinder. turn Oh the Ignition
ana crank the motor. As soon as 1t
starts' run around and carefully place
the saturated waste and cloth near the
ar intake of the carbureter so that as
the motor begins to slow down IL NAV
be brought still closer and A combns-
uble mixture be thus formed until the
carpureter begins TO carburet.
Try, Try Again.
Should this fail. simply remember the
old adage, IF at first you don't succeed,
try, try again. and when the motor
has become sufficiently warm It will
keep on running without the necessity
OF holding the saturated waste and cloth
near the air intake of the carbureter
IL Is recommended that II the intake
manifold OF the motor be tapped just
above the carbureter, and connection be
made with the acetylene gas tank, a
run on acteylene gas until the carbure-
ter begins TO deliver a suitable mixture
Another way Is TO have a long piece
OF rubber hose which can be attached
at one end TO one of the lamp leads
or direct TO the gas tank, and the other
end stuck into the air inlet of the car
bureter; the gas can then be turned on
and a combustibe mixture formed in
this way until the carbureter is brought
into use.
GaSolene Is Varied.
1t is not universally known that there
Is more than one grade of gasolene on
the market, and that with the better
grades a motor can be much more readi-
ly started than when a poorer grade of
fuel is employed. 1t Is possible by
special order to obtain gasolene from
the oil manufacturers that tests about
6S degrees Beaume at so degrees Fab
renhelt, and which vaporizes very much
more readily than the fuel generally OBJ
tainable from the garage or tank wag-
on. The fuel generally supplied tests
around s. degrees Beaume at the normal
temperature of So degrees Fahrenheit.
and IS just as suitable as a fuel after
the motor Is warmed up and under Orii-
nary running conditions as the more
volatile and expensive gasolene.

NEW FORD FORE,DOOR
. ROADSTER ATTRACTS
Little Car Leads Exhibit of
Charles E. Miller &
Brother at Show.

When the bicycle was all the rage,
in 1872. the firm Of Charles +. Miller
d Bro, was organized, with sales
room az llO7 Fourteenth street. In later
years the firm added automobiles to its
line ana with every succeeding year
has added to the prestige of the firm,
which is now known as Miller Brothers
Automobile and Supply House Claude
Z. and Charles l.. Miller constitute the
1irm. which handles the Fofrd, Velie, ana
.Owen cars.
Interest in the firms exhibit at the
automobile show will center chiefly in
the little Ford, fore-door roadster This
little car is known as the Ford model
T torpedo runabout, and it contains the
regular Ford fOur-cylinder motor. II is
priced at $725, with top, automatic brass
wind shield, speedometer and complete
D equipment. The Ford engineers have
heightened the hood. and a gasoene
tank has been placed upon the rear
dack, which by some is considered to
improve its outline
Touring Car.
The Ford T touring car also benefits
by the Iengthening of its hood. In other
respects this car is changed little from
last season, hut with complete equip
ment il costs now only $3.50, instead of
$3.50. With no other equipment than oil
lamp and horn, it can be purchased for
$7On.
The town car is selling for $1,.Oo and
the Ford coupe, one of the most con-
VCnient and best designed cars FOR win
ter use, is priced at $l,0iO.
The complete Ford line will he on eN-
hibitiOn. 1t comprises a runaboui with
fOrc-dOOrS, another without them,
Tumble-seat roadster, the town car, the
coupe and the touring car.
The Nelie is not an assembled car. II
Is manufactured in an independent fac
tory, where no expense has been spared
to provide every known facility for az
curaCy and nterrhaEEcablIity. It Is
economically priced, as comparisons
will prove: is literally guaranteed and
is built To stand harder than ordinary

OLD SLAVE CITY IN AFRICA

DR.. Carl Peters, the German explor-
er, tells of strange finds in South AT.

contains the first actual ancient in
scription found in South Africa. For
merly discoveries have not been OF

of my men in a slave pit to the south
OF %Inyanga, north of Umtali. The dis
trict contains hundreds of these pits,
from twenty to twenty-five feet deep,
In which the ancients kept their slaves.
The tablet va evidently made of &C.
ment and had been cut in two, clearly
while 1t Was SOFT, the letters on it be-
ing in no way damaged. The characters
look to me like Greek letters. but other
experts say they are Graeco-PhOeni-
clan. | take it to be the half Of an
ancient passport. one portion of which
was retained by the master and the
other handed to the messenger.
Il also discovered near Zlm q
brass figure OF Pan, six ana a half
inches in length, very similar to the
figures found al Pompeii, thus proving
Greek influence in South Africa appar-
entity at a later period than the tablet
| have mentioned. These and other
discoveries are to my mind further
proof hat in South Africa there has
been a continuation of different civil.
cations.
1T has also been shown thai during
all these periods gold mining has been
carried on. Apparently this was be
gun by natives Of The soil, probably
bushnlen, and it seems likely that the
