THE new CADILLAC
STARTS BY ELECTRICITY

The usual policy of the Cadillac
Motor Car Company to produce the
exceptional brings out for 1912 a car
whose motor is started and ignited,
and whose lamps are lighted by cleo
trio current from the same source-a
dynamo on the motor.
Never before, in a gasoline car, has
electricity been utilized to such an
extent
The adoption of the dynamo for ig.
milton supplants the usual magnetic
The driver has two complete ignition
sources at his command-the dynamo
and the Delco distributor system, each
with its individual set of spark plugs.
The electrical plant consists of a
compact and powerful dynamo which
is operated by the engine and charges
storage battery.
To start the motor, the operator
simply retards the spark lever and dis,
engages the clutch,
When the clutch pedal is pushed
forward, automatic engagement is
made between a gear on the dynamo
and gear teeth on the engine fly
wheel. The current from the storage
battery operates the dynamo, which
becomes an electric motor for the
moment-and the engine is turned
over" the same as if the operator were
in front of the car using the old-style
CRANK.
AS soon as the engine begins to
draw in the gas from the carburetor
and runs on its own power, the oper.
ator releases the pressure on the
clutch pedal and Immediately the mo,
tor gear disengages its connection
with the engine and the car is ready
to be driven. The dynamo then re
sumes its function as a generator and
its energy is devoted to ignition and
to charging the storage battery This
has a capacity of so ampere-hours
and as soon as that capacity is
reached, the charging automatically
ceases.
Practical tests have shown that the
storage battery is of sufficient capac

for the last four years. The regis
traticns at the Elton as published in
the New York Herald show that
among siXty-six makes, "A Fer cent
of all cars were Packards, and that
there were nearly twice as many Pack
ards as cars of any other make. This
is certainly a great showing for the
Packard cars and ouly bears out the
great popularity of the Packard cara
in Honolulu. No surer way of finding
out about a Packard is to be found
than to TASK the man who owns one"
The Won Hamm-Young Company has
had an unusually busy week as they
have received six machines which
were already sold and required imme-
date delivery upon their arrival in
Honolulu. These shipments were
comprised of three Packards, two Hup-
mobiles and Buick truck. One hand
some "18" Packard runabout and two
four-cyiinder $50" touring cars of the
same make came in on the Sierra. A
Hupmobile truck was one of the new
arrivals, which is one OF the cleverest
little articles ever imported into Ilo-
nolulu. 1t has the regular touring
car chassis with a covered body, in
stead of the touring body. This will
be the most economical truck as far
as up-keep is concerned that has ever
been operated here.
There have been so many calls at
the salesrooms of the Won Hamm-
Young Company for a light delivery
truck that a Buick was brought down
this week for demonstrating purposes
This truck is a beauty and will hauI
from 800 to 1900 pounds. This car is
on exhibition at the Won Hamm-YOung
Company's salesrooms, but will be put
in commission very shortly by a pro
minent concern, who need a truck SC
badly that the Won Hamm-Young Co
has released THIS car and will order
another demonstration Immediately.

the cars, each cog, as represented by
some department, fitting in with every
other cog, the whole working to-
gether to get the first of the 1912
cars out in time for a waiting public.
"To accomplish this great work re-
quires a factory investment of three
and a half million dollars and over a
half million dollars worth of the flu
est automobile machinery built. For
only a company like the Chalmers,
which builds it's own parts, such rs
motor, transmission, rear axles, steer
ing gear, etc, can give the great dol
lar for dollar value which is offered
in Chalmers cars. In Chalmers cars
is represented one cost and one profit.
To accomplish this result the Chal-
mers Company has built up one of
the greatest manufacturing plants in
the world.
ITO run this great plant requires
an organization of hundreds of the
most skilled manufacturing experts,
and mechanics that can be
secured. And all of these must work
together as one-in team work.
From the foundry where the cyl
inders and crank cases are cast, 10
the shipping platform, where the cars
are finally started on their way to
the users, all of this work is done
under the eyes of scores of inspec-
tors. Only in this way can any COM
Dany guarantee to a purchaser a car
built just as we'll as the best machin-
cry and human skill can make it,"
Because Chalmers cars are built
in this wonderful factory and with
such extreme care, the company gives
a guarantee on all parts for one year
from delivery.
I'm it's broader sense, motor service
is the thing which makes a car de-
pendable on all kinds of roads, in all
kinds of weather and at all times.
That is the kind of service which
goes with Chalmers cars"

ity to operate the starting device and
turn over" the engine for a space of
about twenty minutes, although it sell
dom requires more than a second or
two to start the engine. In fact, the
Cadillac engine so frequently starts
on the spark that the use of the cleo
trical starter is not always required.
The storage battery also supplies
the current for lighting. The car is
equipped with two specially designed
electric headlights with adjustable
lamps to focus the rays properly
two front side lamLs, tail lamps and
speedometer lamp.
The dynamo also supplies current
for ignition. Up to $50 to 300 r, p. IN.
for ignition current comes from the
storage battery, while above that
speed it is direct from the dynamo
through the high tension distributor
to the spark plugs. For ignition pur-
poses the dynamo performs not only
all the functions of the most highly
develoIed magnetic, but possess even
greater efficiency, having more nexi-
bility, and a greater range of action.
When compelled to drive slowly in
crowded thoroughfares, over very bad
roads or on hills, with the usual mag
neto, the driver may stall his motor
because the magnetic is not driven fast
enough to generate current, and 1t
becomes necessary to switch for the
battery, If he has one. With the Cad
lilac system, If it becomes necessary
to drive so slowly that sufficient cur
rent is not generated, the battery
automatically cuts in. When the speed
is increased, the dynamo again auto
matically takes hold. 1t wholly OBJ
viates the necessity of the drivers
keeping continually on the alert to
prevent stalling the motor.
In addition to this ignition, the
Cadillac is provided with the auxiliary
Delco distributor system. This is sep.
arate and distinct, with its own set
of spark plugs, and in itself is thor

The Chalmers is another car that
has a lot of users. The new 1912
model is a handsome affair, and has
all the latest appliances on it. It's
self-starting device is considered the
finest of it's kind extant, and in add.
ton to the trouble that it saves the

ment Like the Hudson, the Chal-
mers has all the control levers inside
the body of the car, so that the driv.
er has everything to hand within a
small area.
The Pierce-Arrow is a car that has
grown into favor with great rapidity.
The makers have always been pio-
neers in the way of improvements,
and naturally, the cars turned out

Reports of their wonderful achieve
ments come to hand from time to

THE GREAT GARAGES
and AUTOS They HANDLE

In this section of today's paper is
presented a number of announcements
OF HCnolulus leading garages, together
with news and general matter of in
terest to auto owners and the public
generally.
1t was not intended that this sec.
ton should be presented in an elabo-
rate form. It's aim is to introduce to
readers of the Star the new 1912
models of a few of the cars that have
established regulations of the first
class on the mainland and in the Ha-
waiian Islands.
The cars referred to in these columns
are known to everybody in the streets
of Honolulu and ale to be seen on
every highway in the group. Even
the children on their way to school
recognize the brand of many of
them as they speed by. AS bunch
of cars, they may be classed as "Ha-
waits favorites."
"Hawaiis favorites" for 1912. They
have to do with ease of starting and
handling, with additional strength and
increased speed powers.
On one page of this issue will be
seen the new auto list, corrected up to
date. 1t shows nearly 800 fine ma
chimes in use, representing a very
large sum of money indeed. The list
shows high-priced cars, like the Pack
ard, the Renault, Pierce-Arrow, Thorn
as, Locomobile and others; medium,
first class machines like the Cadillac,
the splendid Chalmers, the sturdy E.
NJ. F. and others; and the lower-priced,
but elegant and speedy Hudson, Buick,
Mitchell, ETC.
The Big Garages.
Beginning down in Merchant street
the first big garage to be met with is
the Associated This garage was
started by hui of capitalists in the
early days of automobile activity here,
and soon after became a sort of sub
sidiary corporation to E. o. Hall &
Son, Limited. 1t has always been a
FRO ,ressive and aggressive sales fac
tor in the automobile field, and has
maintained one of the most extensive
and busiest repair shops in the city.
Shortly after the first of the year
Mr. Frank e. Howes was called to the
management of the Associated. Mr..
Howes was an experit need auto man
in the east and came out to Honolulu
originally to accept a very responsible
position in the garage of the Won
Hamm-Young Company. At the AS
ISOLATED Mr.. Howe; has kept things
cumming" with the result that the
business of that garage has increased
in a very satisfactory way.
The Associated is most fortunate in
having the agency for three of the
most popular cars known in these is
lands. They are the Pierce-Arrow,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-09

Honolulu seems to be coming along
in good shape as far as her percen-
tage of automobiles is concerned, as
the numbers are Nearly up to the eight
hundred mark High-grade cars still
hold the largest percentage of sales
and the cars are as well cared for as
in any place in the country. People
often ask where the old ones disap-
pear to, and really it does seem as if
they must drop out of sight as one
does not frequently see an antiquated
model on the street nowadays. Homo
lulans take great pride in their cars
and their little private garages, as Is
evidenced by the neatness of them. A
great many are equipped in fine shape
with the Bowser gasoline outfit, which
makes the garages safe from fire and
very neat. This fact may be realized
when we consider that Mr.. W. w. Saw
ercool, the representative of the Bow
ser Benzine Buggy Company has been
in town since May 22nd equipping gar
ages with the new pumping outfits. Mr..
Savercool only expected to remain
about ten days, but business requires
him to stay another ninety days from
date. Mr.. Savercool is very much
pleased with Honolulu, and may pos
sibly establish a permanent branch
here.
Packards still rule the roads and
hold their popularity as no other cal
has ever done previously. OF course
there is a coed reason for this as
everyone must surely admit, and the
great popularity of this car is not only
confined to Honolulu but is prevalent
all over the country. Abroad the
Packard is the most popular Of al
American makes of car by at least
fifty percent, and the foreigners are
beginning to open their eyes to the
American features of this machine
All over America the Packard is the
prevailing car at every touring cen
ter, because it is being of fibre and
sinew. To such qualities has been
added the unusual touch of elegance
that gives the Packard its distinction
in the motor car parade. According t.
the registrations published in the
Paris edition of the New York Herald
SO per cent of all the cars driven by
American tourists in Europe from
April LIST to July 1st we're Packards
and there were over three times as
many Packards as cars of any Other
make.
! Since 1907 the management of the
Hotel Elton Waterbury, Conn., has
kept a register for the use of auto
mobile tourists. Every tourist is re
gistered who has stopped there in the
last four years. 1t is interesting t
note that the three leading cars re
presented have stood in the same ratio

The NEW HAYNES
CAR 1912 MODEL

CAR 1912 MODEL
Recent purchasers Of the celebrated
Haynes automobile, sold in this city by
J. A. Gilman, include James F. Nor
gan, Norman Watkins, George Ross, e..
Kopke, and Mrs. ]. NJ. Atherton. All
of them chose the fye-seated touring
car, which is a substantial, pretty and
speedy machine.
One of these cars driven by Mrs.
Gilman has already travelled 23O0
miles and not $50 have been spent on
it outside of routine expenses.
Mr.. Gilman now has two of these
fine cars on hand, and is prepared to
make speedy deliveries.

Chalmers and Hudson. The first NAM
ed is high-class machine snowy,
comfortable and fairly speedy car. The
Chalmers is the greyhound" of me-
dunn priced cars here as on the main
land. 1t is reliable, will go anywhere
and is an easy rider. The Hudson
particularly the now 1917 is ad-
mittedly one of the best cheap cars on
the market today. These three cars
together form a trio from which any
man or any purse should be easily
satisfied.
The Schuman Garage.
The Schuman Garage is next to the
Associated in Merchant street. It's
office is at present on the Queen street
side, the new offices in Merchant street
not being quite completed. The ga
rage, which is quite an extensive af-
fair, runs down Ike the stem of T
to a point behind the Stangenwald
building, where the sales machines are
displayed. Mr.. G. A. Schuman is the
manager of his garage, and Supervisor
Harry Murray is his general assistant.
The Schuman Garage carries an ex-
ceptionally fine high-class car in the
Locomobile. This machine has al
most an international reputation. An
other car the name of which has be-
come almost a household word in Ha-
waii, is the famous E. NJ. F. This car
is particularly we'll suited to the roads
of the Islands, and is very speedy. A
low priced car carried by this garage
is the Mitchell, which has also be-
come favorite; while the little Fland-
ers is eagerly sought by people re-
quiring a cheap car.
Won Hamm-Young.
Up town, in and back of the great
Young building and with an immense
garage on Alakea street, the auto
mobile business of the Won Hamm-
Young Company is literally spread
out" This enterprise had an aus
picious beginning, and has improved
upon its advantages. Mr.. c. C. Won
Hamm and Mr.. A. A. Young, heads Of
the vast business interests of the Won
Hamm-Young Company, are both auto
enthusiasts. 1t is rather unusual to
to find men of large affairs delving
into the mechanical intricacies of the
automobile; but it would probably be
difficult to discover two gentlemen
with greater knowledge of the modern
road machine than these. The Won
Hamm-Young Company has been for
tunate in holding the services of ex-
perts in their automobile department.
Mr.. E. E. BODICE held high rank in the
east before coming to the islands, and
is today regarded as one of the best
all-round auto men in the islands.

panys auto branch is in the big

germ and are guaranteed to cure
dandruff, itching scalp and all other
germ diseases of the skin and scalp.
ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP are the
true scientific remedies for these af-
flctions. TO show our faith in ZEN1O
and ZEMO SOAP we have instructed
the druggist selling them to refund
your money if you are not satisfied
with the results from the very first
bottle and the first cake of soap.
We can afford to make this offer

The $1,000 Grain Shocker.

When c. r. Raney was barefoot
boy tramping through hot stubble
fields shocking after the binder he
vowed he would make machinery do
the work some day and now, after
much experimental work, he has per-
fected a shocker attachment for the
binder that does the work and for
which the International Harvester
company has closed a contract with
him that will net him more than
100000. Besides, he is to leave the
farm at once and go into the employ
of the harvester people at $4,000 a
year and expenses to start with. They
recognize his rare mechanical genius
and wanted him in their experimental
department to help in perfecting sew
eral problems they are contending
with. He was called to Chicago for
consultation with the head officers the
past week, the contract was closed
and he came back to load the shocker
on the train and take it to the wheat
fields of Minnesota, where he will OBJ
serve it's workings and make such
changes as are necessary to adapt it
to conditions there. He will also go
to Dakota and Canada with it before
the season ends. Accompanying him
will be special machinists of the Inter-
national, works to carry out his every
suggestion and get the parts all ad-
justed, as they intend to make them
in big lot of experimental machines
for next season.
The shocker runs on two wheels,
about the size of cultivator wheels,
and is hitched to the binder SO as to
receive the bundles as they come from
the knotter. They are kicked out on
to an arm from which the spikes pro-
ject upward. This arm then de-
scribes a semi-circle upwards and
back, laying the bundle butt back in
the receptacle and fixes the outlines
of the shock. The machine can be
set to receive any number of bundles,
the idea being that there should be
enough to fill it up compactly. The
placing of the bundles is shifted from
side to side by foot lever operated
by the driver on the machine. When
the holder is full a big arm comes
around and the shock is tied just as a
bundle is tied in the binder. Then
the shocker trips and the shock is
lifted to an upright position, being
firmly planted on the ground that
leaves it standing more secure than
hand shock would place it. The
only thing it lacks is the cap sheaves.
But it is tied securely about the top
with binding Irvine, so caps are not as
badly enthusiastically Citizen.
Nothing will grow like a trouble

GOOD SEASON FOR GAME BIRDS.
Fine BroOds of Pheasants and Par
tridges Raised Throughout
State,

George A. Lincoln, state came war
den, states that this has been
splendid season for the game birds
that were distributed by his depart
ment throughout Iowa last year and
immense numbers of them have
raised fine broods. Several thousand
pheasants and patridges were given
into the possession of farmers just
following the state fair last year and
Ley have undertaken to protect them
for season or two. The result is
that fine start has been made for
restocking Iowa with the best game
birds. The proceeds of distribution
made last year at the fair showing
not only the hardy game birds but
many fancy birds and fishes attracted
great attention and served to revive
interest among Iowa farmers in the
game question.

PROF. HICKS.

The Leon Reporter an otherwise
splendid paper seems to take stock
in Prof. Irl Hicks, the weather
prophet. OF course, there is no law
against the Rep9rteg making a goose
of itself if it wants to, but If the
people who read the Reporter are
interested in what Rev. Irl Hicks
says, then Leon must be nearer Mis-
souri, than we thought it was. Be-
cause, we do not believe any really
intelligent people care what 1rl says
about the weather.
1rl Hicks knows just about as
much about the weather as we do.
When he hits it his predictions are
good and when he misses it, he is
no better than the rest of us. Three
weeks ago, we predicted rain on
Sunday and it came. Last Saturday
we predicted rain and we got it. So
we can predict what the weather
will be just as we'll as Irl Hicks.
Belief in what Irl Hicks says has
just as much foundation in logic
and common sense as belief that
if you drop the dish cloth, you will
have company or when cat washes
it's face" company will come or in
the theory that if you begin job
on Friday you will be unlucky or on
Saturday you will never get it COM
pleted. "~-~
If you believe in 1rl Hicks, then
you also believe that if you plant
your potatoes in the light of the
moon, they will do we'll, but if in
the dark of the moon they will not
do we'll. You will believe that if you
butcher your hogs in the light of the
moon, the side meat will all go to
lard or vice versa, or that if you
single house in the light of the
moon the shingles will lie fiat but
if in the dark of the moon they will
cup"
Rev. Irl Hicks is all right for hot
weather reading if you do not have
Laura Jean Libbey or Lillian Rus
sells beauty talks or the Ladies
Home Journal, but if you can get
any other reading, even Hostetter' S
Almanac, forget Irl Hicks and read
the other.
Or maybe the Leon Reporter was
merely joking.-Washington Demo
