GROWTH IS SHOWN
IN THE OLDSMOB|LE
"Autocrat" Is New Creation
Put Out This
Year.

The Oldsmobile agency is located at
10lS Connecticut avenue and is con-
trolIed by M. T. Pollock. The Olds-
mobile "Autocrat," the new creation OF
the Olds Motor Works, is one Of the
most striking cars put out this year.
Fine equipment and mechanical perfec-
ton in every line always have been
characteristic of Oldsmobile construc-
ton, and this year the success OF the
designers has been greater than ever.
Mr. Pollock will have a fine array OF
cars on exhibition at the show: Inc
growth of Oldsmobile owners in WASH
ington has been impressive in the last
two or three years, and with the advent
of the 1911 models, 1t is altogether prob
able a high water mark in sales VIII
be reached.
Oldsmobile construction this year
shows a radical advance over that OF
last year by a change to TYPE GYM
der In 1910 an L-type cylinder Was
used. For the coming season the GYM
der dimensions have been increased
from AZ inches square to five inch bore
and six inch stroke, and the valves have
been enlarged from ~ to ~ inches.
Many other mechanical changes nave
been made and every one Of them adds
to the Joy of motoring in an Oldsmobile.
The constant search for perfection which
marks the Oldsmobile designers has this
year resulted in a mechanical excellence
which makes the car more than ever
worth while.

Among the automobile touring con-
tests of the last two years the two
events given under the auspices OF the
Munsey newspapers, The Washington
Times, the Baltimore News, the Even
ing Times of Philadelphia and the
Boston Journal, are rated as the most
successful tours ever promoted.
Each event brought out the most wide
ly known cars and the most famous
endurance contest drivers to contend
for supremacy, attracting widespread
attention throughout the United States.
The Munsey reliability run in 1903
took the cars from Washington to Bos-
ton and return and proved a most thor
ough and grueling test of the machines
engaged. Officials who were on that
trip and who saw the kind of country
the cars were taken through and the
difficult road conditions caused by the
almost incesSant rains were unanimous
in declaring that 1t was thorough test
Of the cars engaged in it.
Twenty-Five Contestants.
Twenty-Five cars started in the Mum
sey reliability contest and more than
twenty of them finished. The run was
of 1,2S2.2 miles and an average of a lit
tie more than l6O miles per day was
made.
i ne RTdHO sweepstakes prize ana Ile
prtZe in his division was won by Coun-
cnman Frank Hardart, a member of
the Quaker City Automobile Club, who
entered his Elmore car. The machine
was driven by Frank Hardart, jr., who,
In competition with some of the best
drivers in the country, made a wonder
full run, bringing his machine through
without a penalty against it.
The Munsey Historic Tour of 1910
was won by the Maxwell, with Harry
L. Walls at the wheel. Walls has
long string of victories to his credit
and is known as one of the most skill
full and resourCeful drivers in the cOun-
try. In the Munsey Reliability Contest
of 1909 he drove the official starters car.
and did spectacular work in starting
last and finishing among the first al
most every day.
AS contestant in the Munsey tour
last summer he drove a splendid and
even contest, and went through the 1,550
miles without a road penaliZation. At
the end of the tour his car was penal
ized only 2 points on the technical ex-
animation, and won the sweepstakes
prize with ease
The Munsey Historic Tour was highly
successful from every viewpoint. 1t

THE MUNSEY TOUR
ANOTABLEE EVENT
Historic Trip Through New England Was One of the
Most Successful Events of Its Kind Ever Con-
drsted in This Country

, through a great diversity of country.
AS an instance of the roads encountered
! il might be stated that the Catskills, the
| Berkshires, the White mountains. the
Green mountains, the Adirondacks, and
the mountainous parts of eastern Penn
! sylvania were passed through. The level
and beautiful country along the sound
and the old North Shore of Massachu-
sets was on the route, so that there
was the greatest diversity of country
| encountered.
The greatest welcome was accorded
| the Munsey tourists everywhere. In
Boston they were received by the
mayor, who greeted every man con-
nected with the tour personally. In
Gloucester, Mass, the board of trade
gave them a most hearty welcome. In
FryeburE. Me-, the home of Daniel
Webster for a while, the town turned
out en- masse and welcomed the
tourists.
Warmly Greeted in Vermont.
From the time the tourists entered
Vermont they were made to feel thai
they were objects of special welcome.
At Montpelier, the capital, the gov
ernor. the Congressional delegation.
one United States Senator and a whole
host of prominent citizens turned out
and gave the contestants a heaI
welcome. In st. Johnsbury the streets
were packed full oftpeople, every au-
tomobile owner from the surrounding
country had his machine parked along
the principal street and lunch Va
served to the tourists. At Burlington
there was a band concert and an
other welcome.
In Binghamton, N. Y, and Harris
burg, Pa, there were also reception
committees who gave the tourists t.
oest that the town afforded and made
them feel that their stay was appre
ciated.
At Frederick. Md, another big well
come was given the tourists. Members
of the board of trade and large dele
cations of prominent citizens were on
hand along the streets to show the
tourists to the hotel and make life
enjoyable for them while they stayed
in the city.
The finish of the tour in Washington
was a notable event. The dust-stained
tourists were met on the outskirts OF
the city by large number of motorists
and escorted to the Munsey building,
the official finish point. Thousands of
people thronged the streets as the big
caravan proceeded down Pennsylvania
avenue and Cheered the tired but happy
tourists The reception accorded the
participants in the tour will ever be
remembered by every one of the hun
dred or more drivers, observers, and
passengers.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.-
That Geo. F. Shoaf, the socialist
writer who disappeared myster-
iously on the night of August 10,
is dead, having been made away
with by someone who knew his
business well and carefully cover
ed up all evidence that might lead
to the detection of the crime, is
now the opinion of Shoaf's friends
here and private detectives who
have been working on the case.
Every possible clue In support
of the theory that he disappeared
of his own accord has been run
down, say those in charge of the
investigation into the matter and
everything points to the conclu'
sion that he has been killed.
