STARTING DEVICE
ON 1912 EVERIET

The self-starting device for the 1872
Everitt, both the four and six cylinder
models, is of the compressed air type AMI
Of unusual simplicity. After long and
continued tests, il has proven satisfac-
tory. An air pump operated by the et-
sine and which automatically shuts CT
when the tank is full furnishes the ar
for the pressure. A sciector valve or
disEibuter operating on the same princt-
pie of an electric timer is directly con-
nected with the cam shaft and timed
with ii and the valves which il operates.
To operate the device, the needle waive
III clOsedl is opened to admit the au
to the distributor. the push button on
the lash holding il in check until re-
CURED. This distributor which is at all
times revolving with the cam sfaft,
necessarily stops when the engine stops,
in such position that the opening lead
ing to the cylinder whose piston is at
the top stroke is uncovered. Before
stopping lis engine. previously. the Op-
orator has slightly opened the throttle.
He now recards the spark and touches
the push button with his foot. The pow
erful air pressure released thereby i'm
mediately rushes into the proper cylinder
and drives down its piston. revolving the
engine The distributor in turn, opens
the next valve, and so on. rapidly turning
tine engine until the latter takes up its
cycle OF explosions by Itself after which
the air is shut off and the driver pro-
CCedS in the usual way.
The operation of the Everitt self-starter
device is such that the motor is imme-
;liatcly revolved at a much greater speed
than is possible bv hand. thus starting
the engine With the greatest ease and
CELEBRITY. The tank has a sufficient air
capacity to turn the engine over about
100 times. and this pressure is, of course,
automatically maintained.

FAST DEVELOPMENT
Stevens-Duryea Co. Tells of
Progress Made.

In connection with its 1912 models, the
Stevens Duryea Company has issued a
booklet called The Seventh Year of
Skies" IN which is briefly described the
history of the six-cyIinder car in America
and the part that this company has
played in its development.
The following extract gives one an
idea of the progress made along this line
and Of the antcCcdents of the siX-cylinder
car:
IN 1904. when one and two cylinders
were the vogue. this company brought
out a four incidentally. that first four
had its power plant, clutch, and gearset
built ard assembled in one casing-the
unit power plant supported on three
points,
This identical design and principle
used by this company in earlier models
was employed for the first time in any
four-Cylinder car in the Stevens-Duryea
four OF 1904. and was made a vital part
of the six introduced later.
I'm 1905 the first Stevens-Duryea six
was brought out, at a time when six
cylinder cars were considered ultra-radi-
cal, and when there were few automobile
engineers or manufacturers in the world
who believed in the ability of any one to
make and market success full SiX-Cylnder
cars. But, confident of the correctness
Of the scientific principle around which
its cars were and are built. it went un-
hestatingly forward and proved by the
success of the first six the unerring ac-
curaCy OF its design and construction.
That first Stevens-Duryea six-cylinder
car had TO fight its way in the face Of
great opposition and prejudice. Manu-
faCturers who did not make skies sCoffed
al il. and argued the advantages of four
cylinder motors. But the buyers of cars
began to be convinced by the success of
that Stevens-Duryea six. and there arose
a considerable demand for skies. AS the
demand increased. other manufacturers
began to see the six I'm its true light and
got ready to build skies.
The Stevens-Duryea skies for 1912 are
offered with open touring bodies in five
styles and in three styles of closed bodies,
all of which are shown in the book

FEWER MOTORISTS

Season of 1911 Marked for

During the touring season of 1911 it has
been estimated by those associations
which make a speciality Of furnishing
road directions and other information
that more automobile owners have mo-
tored through their own country than
ever before.
the number of Americans who shipped
their cars abroad, there to spend the
summer motoring over the fine macadam
highways of the old countries, was less
than half the number a year ago.

During the past week there has been
a noticeable increase in the number OF
automobiles on the streets. This influx
is due to the number of people who have

people. While but few cars have been
sold compared with the number sold
later in the fall and early in the spring.
there are a number of prospective pur-
chasers looking over the different models.

lO4 TRACTS IN 70
SECTIONS RAISED
INCREASE is 66 PER CENT
FIRST WORK OF EQUALIZATION
BOARD is MADE PUB
Lie TODAY.

The assessments of 104 tracts of
land in the first 20 sections offown-
ship ), range II, have been raised
in the aggregate from S15,395 to $25,-
545 by the Faulkner county board of
equalization, according to figures fur
nished by County Clerk J. H. Bailey
today. This increase of S10,1 $50 is ap-
proXimately 66 per cent, and the same
percentage of increase applied to the
entire real estate assessment of the
county would increase it from about
one and three-quarter million to about
three million dollars.
Three tracts in the 20 sections NAM
ed were lowered an aggregate of
about $500, and the assessment of
quite a number were left unchanged.
The greatest increase made on any in
dividual tract in the 20 sections was
from $3.50 to $500 and the smallest
was from so to $40.
This work was done by the board
yesterday Since County Clerk Bailey
has secured these figures the board
has completed the assessment of town
ship 5, range II, and at noon had al
most finished reviewing the assess
ments of township 6, range II.
The county clerk will notify the in
dividual property owners of each in
crease in the assessment, and taxpay-
ers will have a right to appear before
the county court on the second Mon
day in October and show cause why
their assessments should not be in
creased.
