FAMOUS TROPHY no BE HERE
Glidden Trophy to BE Exhibited at
HI. K. Fredric4SsOn's show
Rooms Next Month.

One. of the most famous automobile
trophies in the world will soon be on ex-
hibition in the salesroom of the H. e.
Fredriekson Auto company. This is the
classic Glidden trophy which is now held
by a Chalmers 80" touring car.
In 1910 the Glidden trophy, the most
famous Of all motor endurance prizes. was
won for the first time by car costing less
than $4,000, which is plainly indicative that
this is the age of the medium priced auto
mobile. In the longest and most strenuous
Of all Glidden tours, Chalmers Number
Five returned winner. The grind in 1910
started at Cincinnati and covered the south
and southwest, going to Chicago by way
of Dallas. a distance of asst miles. :
Particular interest attaches to the ex-
hibition Of the Glidden trophy in Omaha in
view OF the fact that II. e. Fredrickuon,
manager OF the Fredrickson Auto com
pany, was in charge OF the team which
drove the Chalmers Five on to victory in
Americas classic endurance run last year

Users drive Of less and quarter cents
per hundred miles of travel for
mechanical repairs

Some very interesting figures on the
subject Of motor car maintenance have
recently been made public by the Cadillac
dealers OF Dayton, Ohio.
present some definite information to motor
car buyers, Cadillac users in Dayton,
OHIO, territory were Intercepted and re-
sponses were received from fifty-two of
them, stating the sums that had been ex-
pended for mechanical repairs.
The users statements disclosed the fact
that the aggregate number of miles trav-
or an average of 4734 miles per car
The total sum expended for mechan-
zeal repairs on the entire number OF cars
was only $S0O6, or an average of the in
significant sum OF about So cents per car.
The highest expenditure by any one
user, a gentleman whose car had been
driven 5000 miles, was 400 Ten users
expended less than $1O0 each, while there
were thirty users who had not expended
single penny. Among those who had
expended absolutely nothing was the user
II 600
Figured on the basis Of cost per mile,
it shows that the 24e.245 miles at total
repair cost Of Sse.ote averaged about one
and a quarter cents FOR each hundred
This Dayton record is by no means ex-
ceptional or unusual. The same dealer
made similar investigation about year
previous: At that time reports were re-
ceived from fifty Cadillac users which
showed that they had driven their cars
a total of 16s.bS0 miles at q total expense
for mechanical repairs Of only S,n, or
an average OF less than y cents per car
for the season, On the basis OF mileage
this expense figured less than three and
one half, cents for each thousand miles
Of travel
About the same time New York and
indianapolis Cadillac users also furnished
some very significant data. In New York
the seventy-five users who responded to

the request for information reported hav-
ing driven their cars an aggregate OF
39S,S4 miles at a total repair cost for the
entire seventy-five cars Of 1921; an aver
age OF less than II cents per car or less
than one and q half cents for each hun
dred miles of travel.
Still another record which, while not
showing quite SO low an expense, tends
IL such corroboration were needed, came
from indianapolis where the sixty-six
Cadillac users who replied to the inquiry
reported an aggregate mileage of 252,599
an average OF $i.& per car The Indian
apolis records not being quite so low as
the others Is accounted for to some extent
by the fact that 1t includes the highest

In addition to the repair OUTLAWS, the
matter of gasoline and oil consumption

showed as nigh as % miles to the gallon

In oil consumption. some owners run as
high as 1000 to 200 miles per gallon, but

For the first time in the history Of auto

in the 50o-mile International Sweepstakes
race over the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way, next Memorial day, for a purse of
81, 900 in gold. With the event still more
than two months and a half away, there
have been thirty big racing cars entered
under the early closing conditions. The
early closing date was March /, and en-
tries win be received until the late clos
ing date, May l. Assurance OF future
entries indicate that fully fifty cars will
compose the total list
All OF the great winners of 1910 who
are still actively engaged in automobile rae
ing are entered. More reservations have
been made for seats and parking spaces at
the brick track than have ever been made
before up TO within ten days OF a race
meeting. Letters have been pouring in
from all parts Of the country asking that
seats, in quantities from one to one hum
dred, be reserved for individuals and auto
mobile clubs who are planning to tour TO
the Indiana capital for the speed event,
From present indications the Speedway
management believes that more than $50,
900 spectators will be on the grounds dur
ing the seven-hOur grind. Many of the
entrants have sent advice that they will
be at the Speedway as early as May /,
to start practice for the event. and for
thirty days prior 20 Memorial day it is
expected that the roar OF the big racing
motors around the brick track will be in
eessant. In addition to the s250 purse
which is offered by the Speedway. various
automobile aeoSSeory and supply makers
will make side offers which viii bring
the purse up to a total of about $4,000,
