one of the departments of The Won
Hamm-Young Company which de
serves the most credit, and which is
such a boon to the automobile buying
! public is the automobile accessories
and sundrics department. This ie-
! partment is better equipped and car
ries more varied and larger stock
OF supplies than any concern on the
! Pacific coast except the big supply
houses. A casual look over the stock
| discloses the fact that an enormous
! amount of tires are on hand at all
times, including five different makes,
and every size used on the islands.
Many new accessories, which are ex-
ceptionally useful are to be found
in stock at all times, and are receiv-
/ ing their due consideration. Such
things as the Hoover auxiliary
springs, Suomberg carbureters, Tire
Doh, Patent patches, etc, are of great
interest to automobile owners. Over
| 500 StrOmberg carbureteTs have been
installed on many different makes of
machines in the Hawaiian Islands
during the past four years. The
Stromberg has very heavy glass
> float chamber, by the aid of which
one can tell at just whatever level
the rioat is at all times, which is an
immense help i'm looking for trouble.
The fine workmanship and quality Of
material used by the Stromberg peo-
pie assist greatly in the satisfaction
given by this little machine. The
class of material and workmanship 10
far superior to that of any other make
of carbureter, which helps its relia-
bility in surprising manner.
! The Hoover auxiliary spring is an
other new invention which not only
makes a car ride very much easier,
but absolutely prevents the breakage
of body springs under any normal
conditions. If Hoover springs are
installed under all four body springs
and the spring clips kept as tight as
should be required at all times, and
the machine operated in sane man
ner, there is absolutely no reason for
a spring to break. So many of these
springs have been installed and nave
given such excellent satisfaction that
people are fast learning the great
value of this new invention of an old
blacksmith named Hooyer, of Fresno,
California.
Another of the most modern inven-
tions in this department is the so
called Tire-Doh. When a casing or
an inner tube receives a cash or a
cut, the Tire-Doh may be applied and
the casing rendered practically as
good as new. Originally. when a tire
received a cash, it was allowed to
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-16

remain open and all kinds of sub
stances would insert themselves into
the cut, such as glass; sand or mud,
with the result that the tire would
be injured to great extent. Sand
would invariably work itself into the
cut and come up between the differ
ent layers of canvas and rubber,
causing the casing to blowout in no
time, as it would be weakened to'such
an extent With the application IF
the newly invented Tire-Doh the cut
is filed up with the new substance
and the life of the casing thus pro-
longed. Tire-Doh was invented for
the specific purpose of repairing tires
and inner tubes easily, quickly, per-
manently and without vulcaniziug.
1t is put up in small sized can and
contains small can of Tire-Doh, a
small can of Tire-Doh cement, and en-
inside casing patch with full instruc-
lions for proper use. 1t is also uni
versal product for repairing injuries
to any rubber surface. 1t is equally
efficient for repairing rubber boots,
rubber coats, hot water bags, rubber
gloves and rubber hose. If this Doh
is applied in the proper manner it
is one Of the most wonderful inven-
lions which has ever been put on the
market. The various other attach
ments and accessories are very inter
esting and are on display in the Won

type of engine it will be noticed that
the only concerns which have adopted
this type are concerns whose cars
have fallen into the background in
the past three or four years. In order
to bring their cars into the limelight
once more they have Clutched at the
first opportunity to bring their cars
to the fore once more in adopting this
radical motor change for an outburst
of enthusiasm.
The sleeve valve motor is not a
new invention, as motors with sleeve
and rotary valves have been built
for years, and abandoned by many
concerns. Thousands of motors with
out poppett valves have been pro.
duced Naturally each of these pos
| sesses some advantage and the fact
/ that four foreign builders are making
and selling the Silent Knight motors
and few of the American builders
also shows that the sleeve valve
motor is demanding a certain amount
of attention. 1t is equally true, how.
ever, that the sleeve valve motor is
still to a large degree in the expert
mental stage The real reasons
| given by the large American manu-
facturers for their remuneration of the
Knight motor are the fact that they
do not show the power on the hills,
that they knock very readily, and
| have as yet insufficient fabrication for
the many sleeves and connecting rods.
SO much friction is caused by the
many sliding sleeves that loss of com
preston makes itself known very
soon after the motor has been run
at all The small connecting rois
operating the sliding sleeves gives
considerable trouble and the motors
themselves are exceptionally inacces-
sible. The repairing of these new
sleeve valve types of motors is far
too complicated for the ordinary
machinist.
One Of the greatest virtues coveted
by the Won Hamm-Young Company
ever since it's incorporation in 1899
is the fact that they have never han
died anything but standard articles
of the most modern manufacture. No
freak types of any articles have ever
been sold or represented. This is a
great feature in the automobile line,
as so many freak types of machines
have been placed on the market and
have been far from successes. The
sleeve valve type of motor places
itself in the freak type with the air
cooled and friction-drive types of ma
chimes, none of which have ever been
represented by the Won Hamm-Young
Company. The selection of agencies
is one thing of which the modern au-
tomobile concern prides itself upon
and the array which this company
exhibits is only of the high-class ana
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-16

owing to these Inquiries which have
been melted by the enormous adver-
Using of the mainland newspapers
and trade journals The Won Hamm-
Young Company have decided to pub
licly announce their reasons for not
adding one of these types to. their list
OF representations. In the first place,
they state that the Packard and Peer
less officers formed an investigation
committee and sent one of their rep-
resentatives to Europe to study the
merits of the sleeve valve type Nf
engine. The representative chosen 10
study this new type of motor was one
world and after making a very careful
and extended examination of this type
installed in foreign machines he re-
turned with two of the highest quality
sleeve type motors One was "a
horsepower and one a SO. These
motors were installed in two stock
machines and operated seventy-five
miles a day for a period of six months.
The closest kind of attention, scrutiny
and study were employed by various
experts during the six months trial,
at the end of which time these com
pauies voluntarily allowed their option
to expire.
Up to the present time the sleeve
valve motor is to some extent stiG
theory, and of all the European
builders only four have adopted the
Silent Knight motor, and not one Of
these four have had confidence enough
in the sleeve valve motor to enter one
in any kind of contest on hill, road
or track in competition with other
cars. Some people have asked if the
motor lubricates well, if it cools
easy, and if it has more power
than poppett valve motor of
the same dimensions. If the Silent
knight possesses any marked advant-
ages the makers do not see fit as
yet to enter it in any contest. A sue
cessful performance in competition
to poppett valve motors would do
more to convince the public of the
real merits of a slide valve motor
than all the tons of theoretical litera-
ture which is being sent broadcast
throughout the country. Nearly all of
the prominent motor car builders
have availed themselves Of t,c o.
portunity to test out the sleeve valve
motor They have given them tests
on the road and on the block and COM
PARSONS have been made between the
road and block performances in end
less numbers. 1t is sufficient to
state that after this most thorough
and exhaustive investigation none of
the high grade American made cars
have adopted this type of engine. On
looking through the trade journals
and the advertising literature of this

obtain exact figures as to his
insurance; this however is given
at So. 500 or thereabout.
The Braden building is owned
by Mrs. Ryan, of Morristown.
and the insurance on the same is
stated at 81, 500.
The damage on the Braden
stock will reach, $4, 600 that to
the building is rated at $70O.
Mr.. Nickisch had a stock worth
probably So, 900, with the build
ing valued at $500. He held
$1,000 insurance in the Home,
$1,000 in the Firemen's Fund,
both written by the Watt-Clark
Co., and $1,000 in the Columbia
Underwriters, written by Oscar
Sampson agency. These amounts
are on the stock, and an addi-
tional sum of 81, 500 is on the
building.
The two smaller buildings,
between these two, occupied by
the Signal, and by the State-Line
Land Co., were in imminent
danger for a time.

age of mattresses and under
takers supplies, was a complete
loss, but the main part of the
Braden store was saved, with
the greater part of the loss
summed up in damage by heat,
smoke and water.
The Nickisch place too was
saved soon after. but not until
the entire building had been
pretty we'll covered with the
flames, the whole store showing
the marks of fire. All the stock
of furniture and other merchan-
disc is practically total loss.
There was good reserve of
water on hand to fight the fire,
and the entire system worked
splendidly, directed in a most
efficient manner.
All the evidence points to an
incendiary origin. At the south
west corner of the Nickisch
building place was found where
by means of a knife slices of one
piece of siding had been taken
off, whereupon TWO strips of
siding. several feet long were
torn off. At this point the rough
boards showed a fault, widening
the crack between the boards.
and here a quantity of oil had
been poured in from a quart can.
The quart can was still laying
close by, having evidently been
bought recently. still showing
the cost mark. At the Braden
store, no marks of incendiarism
could be found, as the flames had
erased whatever marks the cul-
prits may have left.
Mr.. Braden left for the west
yesterday, and we are unable to
