CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN

Not satisfied with making the great est nonstop mileage ever accomplish ed by a motor car, the Flanders ''20'' which covered 10,872 miles without stopping the motor, has recently made a climb to the clouds up San Jacin- altitude of $500 feet. The upper part of the mountain above Idyllwild was covered with snow and ice, making the trip extremely hazardous. The sturdy Flanders "2O'' made the trip of 116 miles from Los Angeles to the top of the mountain, loaded down with four passengers. A steady climb of nineteen miles, with grades ranging as high as twenty-five per cent. were encountered.
 Assistant Sales Manager Paul Smith of the E-M-F Company, makers of the EMF "30' and Flanders "20'' left last week on a 15,00O mile tour of, if not the, longest, continuous "whirls around the circuit ever map ped out by any motor car sales de- partment. MT. Smiths itinerary cov- CTS Denver, Indianapolis. Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Dallas, San Antonio. New York, Washington, New Orleans Minneap- oils, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, Louisville and in> tervening territory. He is not mak- ing this extended tour for the pur- pose of closing contracts for EMF ''3O' or Flanders "20' cars, but to pa cify the clamoring dealers and ex- plain to them personally why 1t is impossible, even with the EMF Company's wonderful manufacturing facilities, to manufacture over night as the dealers would like to have done, 42,O0O cars which constitute the company's orders for 1911.
 Durability and simplicity of con- struction are the features which the EMF Company of Detroit say has brought them success and sold over 10000 EMF "3Os'' There is nc doubt that the EMF '30'' chassis is free from mechanical complications and is a car which new buyer. as we'll as old owners, can readily un- derstand and easily operate The ad- dition to the EMF line includes g snappy rakish roadster which met with a ready demand when they made their debuts at the shows. The three new bodies contain beauty, su- perb finish and comfort. They con- tain features found on the best de signed bodies in the industry, togeth- CT with many original ideas created by EMF designers.
 With a touring car. roadster, demi- tonneau, detachable tonneau and coupe the EMF Company has line that should not be overlooked by prospec- tive purchasers. Mounted on the standard EMF H.3O'' chassis and carrying the company's one year guar antee, it is line that is bound te meet with favor during 1911

An interesting sidelig1t on the orig in of automobiles and motorcycles is Der of 'HThe Worlds Work, who says that the motorcycle-''the little broth CT of the automobile''-is really it's an- cestor.
 Daimler and the early experiment. CTS in the vehicle field,'' he says, ''be- gan by hitching small motors, both steam and gasoline, to the bicycle. The early automobiles were little more than quadri-cycles with tubular frames and wire wheels. Our roads soon discouraged that sort of design ing, but some of the pioneers stuck to the .single-tracker.' The modern motorcycle is the result; after but five fair to prove it's utility, both for bus mess and for pleasure.
 Equipped with from 21s to horse power and capable of carrying from 300 to 500 pounds of load, it has come into sudden popularity, particularly in the Middle West and on the Pacific Coast. There are 5000 motorcycles in Los Angeles alone. It is capable of going where the automobile cannot; it's first cost is less, and it's up-keep is almost negligible. It has been driv- en over hundreds of miles of railroad ties and has picked it's way through many Impossible roads,
 THE HUDSON "SS.''
 The Hudson Motor Car O., claim the distinction of having built the "one different" automobile of 1911. An in spection of the various models on ex- hibition at the E. M. Jennings Co.'S garage, PIT Fairfield avenue, satisfies one that this claim is not wholly with out foundation. The body design, as we'll as the mechanism is totally diff ferent from any car seen by the writ CT this season. The car has mark this car closely you will notice that on the motor, the transmission plant and the rear of the chassis the fewness of rods, wiring and connections that make some automobiles look like a tumble of levers, supports and other never-to-be-understoo mechanisn1s are missing. This simplicity counts much in the operation of a car, and should tend toward reducing the ex- pense of maintenance.
 Another noticeable feature is the ac- feasibility of all parts. Ths is not only a great convenience but enables the driver to keep the various parts clean and we'll oiled which should add to the life and serviceableness of the car.
 The Roadster type, might aptly be termed the Racer type for the body outline is distinctly the Racer outline This car appeals particularly to one as a distinctive creation and while it has been called the most widely cop 1 jed car in America" it has individual ity found in no other car construct ed at the present time-it is Hudson exclusiveness, made so by its master builder and designer, Howard E. Cof- fin.

sELF-CHARGING ELECTRICs.

With one exception there was notf- ing radically new in the electric ve- hicles exhibited in New York City last month. This exception was an arrangement whereby the batteries are partially recharged when the ve- hicle is descending hills with a grade in excess of 8 per cent. With this arrangement in operation the func- ton of the motor is reversed and it acts as generator in recharging the

 BENT AxLEs AND STEERING.
 The difficulty in steering a car may be due to bent front axle, wobbly wheel in the rear, or a noise may in dicate that the rear axle is bent Col isions, rough road travelling or skid ding may cause axles to bend, and. all though they may easily be straighten- ed, the best remedy is the replace ment of tie bent one by a new one The old one, even, if straightened as well as possible. may be so weakened that it will break at a critical moment.
 BROUGHT IN THE POTATOES.
 Express service with Packard truck is conducted between Philadel- phia and Paulsboro, N. J., by Mir. c. c. Thompson, of the latter place. A farmer living on the route gave MT. Thompson a contract to haul load of potatoes to the Philadelphia market. about 15 miles.
 E An hour. before the truck started, however, he sent team to town with another load, as he was somewhat skeptical of the trucks ability to get through the snow drifts.
 MT Farmer left on the train shortly after the truck started reached the Philadelphia market in due season and proceeded to wait for that dang ed truck.''
 He waited quite a while before he found lout from the Commission house that the truck had beat him to 1t, and sold before he got there. A teie phone message from the driver of his team saying he couldn't get in on ac- count of the heavy snow confirmed the agriculturist's newly borne opin- ion that Packard trucks are reform ing produce hauling.

THOMAS AND PACKARD.

One of the most important and sig changes that has occurred in the motor car industry during the past twelve months is the passing of the F. R. Thomas Motor Company of Buffalo, from the control of the Thorn ases into the hands Of the well-known financial house of Eugene Meyer, Jr. and Co.. of New York City. The Meyer interests have secured a small group of officials from the Packard Motor Car Company and have given them absolute control of the reorgan- ization of the Thomas Company and its subsequent operation. This group has been carefully chosen with a view to placing past master at the head of each of the important departments of production, marketing and finance. MT Edwin Ross Thomas, the ex-pres- ldent of the Company, retains the tax icab end of the business as sepa- rate institution but the new organiza- ton will devote itself solely to the manufacture of high grade pleasure cars of the six cylinder type, and a small number of strictly town cars, with four cylinder motors

The young peo- ole never will be able to tell exactly Frank Johns was hitting it up at something like fifty miles an hour. But 1t was somewhere on the high road between David City and Foley, and Rev Cleveland Kleihauer declar- ed he never had made a better job on terra firma, despite the fact that the charming bride was hanging onto his left arm most of the time and the best man butted him twice in the right ear and the groom stumbled on- to his corns with each 1urch of the
