GREAT FEAT BY A CHALMERS 80

Chalmers $50" Number Five, winner
of the 1910 Glidden Tour and the Min
neapolis Tribune Trophy Run, and in
1910 the official checking car of the
Cleveland Endurance Run, this year
won additional laurels with a perfect
score trip in the 1911 Cleveland News
Reliability Tour.
This famous Blue Bird, which in
June, 1910, made the memorable trip
Dallas, and won the greatest of all
endurance prizes, has, since that time,
seen over $4,000 miles of service. Yet
in the 1911 Cleveland Endurance Run,
Number Five, which acted as a press
car and was driven by E. B. Finch,
made perfect score. On each days
run the work of Number Five was
checked by F. Ed. Spooner; E. L..
Moore. of the Cleveland Plain Dealer;
George Feather, of the Cleveland
News, and the writer. On the three
days trip Number Five was never de-
layed except for tire trouble, and fin
ished the tour with a perfect score.
The first days run from Cleveland
to Wheeling, W. Va, was started in
heavy rain and over treacherous
roads. The second day, from Wheel
ing to Columbus, carried the cars over
the famous st. Clairsville Hill, which
is a steady climb of more than five
miles Despite the fact that it was an
extremely hot day, Number Five was

THE RUSSIAN NEW WORLD.

Newest of dips into the future" is
that vision of the Siberian merchant
fleet which the land of the exile and
the brodyag" is to send forth from
the White Sea to provision Europe.
Nor is it altogether a dream. Viewed
merely as a geographical value. ST.
IBERIA is something of a nut to crack.
1t has a total length of 5000 miles and
is $500 miles broad. You could drop
into this framework, without filling it,
the whole of the United States, includ-
ing Alaska, together with the whole
of Europe, excepting Russia. And the
bulk of this vast territory, instead of
being bleak and icebound a sheer ex-
panse of tundra and morass, has agri-
cultural and pastoral resources which,
if adequately exploited, would enable
it to feed the world.
Siberia is now being stirred into
protest by the pressure from Europe,
and her answering push is moving the
bureaucrats on the Neva to action in
her behalf on a comprehensive scale.
AS a result of the land reorganization
act, substituting private for commun-
al ownership, hundreds of thousands
of families have migrated east to the
crown lands beyond the Urals. 1t is
to provide for the new needs of the
country, and in response to the urgent
demands of its representatives in the
Douma, that the Russian government
has just outlined a plan for connect
ing West Siberia with the European
markets, cheapness of production be-
ing relied on to offset the disadvant-

rivers OBJ and Yenissei, to reach west

roads should be built first.
! Whatever comes of the plan, it is
clearly the intention of the Siberians
that the world shall count with them

THE SPREAD OF THE PACKARD.


In one day recently, the Packard
Motor Car Company of Detroit shipped
thirty cars and ten trucks, which is
the largest days business in the hist
DRY of the concern. Cars are now
going forward at the rate of ten
day and this will be increased until
the output reaches a volume of fifteen
cars every twenty-four hours.
The company is now behind more
than two weeks on it's schedule of de-
liveries and is taxing the capacity
of it's huge plant in the effort to keep
UP with orders. There are today on
the factory pay roll 1000 men, without
taking account the large staff EN-
kept at work in the machine shops.
The output of pleasure cars for the
1912 season is estimated by the com
pany at $15,OOO,OO but with the addi-
ton of the Packard Six" which was
likely this figure will be exceeded if
the factory is able to turn out the cars.
For the calendar year 1911, the COM
pany is manufacturing motor trucks of
an aggregate value of $3,25O,0OO, which
includes 1875 one and one-half ton
trucks, the initial factory lot of the
latest addition to the Packard line.
With the completion OF the construc-
ton work now in progress the com
pany will be in position to handle its
business to better advantage and in.
crease it's output still further.
The building of an additional floor
on each of the two Service building
is nearing completion. These build
ings make up a distinct factory to
supply extra parts for Packard cars
and trucks on the road,
Other extensions under way include
buildings which will treble the capa-
city of the truck shops and provide a
substantial addition to the foundry
There are now thirty-three acres OF
floor space in operation and this will
be increased shortly to thirty-seven
acres.
Packard cars and trucks are made
entirely in the Packard shops.

A REcoRp SALE or CARS.

A record single sale of automobiles
was made recently by the Milwaukee
representative of the Chalmers Motor
Company when he sold twenty Chal-
mers go" torpedo roadsters to the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
ing, Company.
When this corporation decided to
purchase cars for the use of it's de-
partment heads and officials a num-
Der of different makes were tried out.
Instead of looking at new cars and
receiving the usual demonstrations
the Milwaukee Electric Railway Co.
bought old cars. A Chalmers $50"
and a Chalmers Forty" of the vint-
age of 1909 were bought in the open
market. These secondhand cars have
seen three years of hard service.
Without overhauling they were put in
the regular service of the railway
company and after a thorough trial
were torn down by the company's own
mechanical experts. So satisfactory
was the showing of the Chalmers cars
that the corporation placed an order
for twenty torpedo roadsters.
1--WE tried out old cars because we
really wanted to know something
about the wearing qualities of the
cars we bought" said an official of the
company. almost any new car will
show up we'll in a demonstration by a
motor expert We are going to give
our cars hard service and we did not
want any merely formal demonstra.
ton. Therefore we bought cars which
had already had a lot of hard usage
In this way we could discover just
how well they worked in service.

showing than any of the other makes
which we tried out"

$4,000 MILES IN A CADILLAC.

w. w. Breckenridge, of Harrison
Ohio, has given to the Cadillac Motor
Car Company the history of Cadillac
which has placed 1880 miles be-
hind it and is still on the go. The car
is one of those turned out in the first
years production.
The car which has made this re-
markable record was first sold to a
dealer in southern Ohio, and by him to
a man who ran It for a-time and later
resold Il to the dealer. These two
drove the car about 10000 miles, and
before the car left Cincinnati this had
been increased to 100000 miles.
A physician was the next owner,
and In a years use he added $4,000
miles to a distance that already was
equal to four times the circumference
of the globe.
From the doctors hands the car
passed into possession Of a garage
owner, who ran the milage up to 1885,
900 miles in the strenuous service OF
towing disabled cars home. A month
ago the car was sold and was driven
to the new owners home.
The really remarkable features 81

cADlLLAc's PART IN WARFARE.

CADlELAC'S PRhI IN WRhFAhE
and aviation experts at Washington
have been given an interesting demon
stration of the automobiles defensive
utility in time of war by the four Cad
illacs owned by the Northwestern
Military Academy of Chicago. Gen
eral Allen of the Signal Corps was par
ticularly interested in the two cars
which carry wireless telegraph out
fits, and Captain c. De Forest Chand-
Ter, one of the army's most brilliant
aviation students, said, referring to
the two which carry rapid fire guns:
This outfit of aeroplane and balloon
destroyers looks mighty formidable to
me- The demonstration at Washing
ton was an important incident in a
tour of 5000 miles which thirteen
Northwestern cadets are making in
their war Cadillacs. Major r. p. Dav-
idson, commandant of the academy,
Lieut.. r. T. Beals, U. S. a., and Gait
w. c. Cook of the Illinois National
Guard, are in command of the tour.
No actual firing was done at the
army aeroplanes at College Park, of
course, but the guns were trained on
the flyers, and the latter were theoret-
ically destroyed.
The battery consists of two Cadillac
gun carriages which went through the
Glidden tour of 1910, experimenting
ers, and two 1911 Cadillacs uniquely
equipped for wireless telegraphy. The
electricity is developed from a gener.
ator run of the engine, and with the
aid of a telescope mast, which runs
sixty-five feet high, messages can be
readily sent from thirty-five to fifty
miles. A balloon, which is part of the
equipment of each machine, can be in
flated by hydrogen gas, and with this
equipment the antennae wires can be
carried to any height and the sending
and receiving power of the machines
greatly increased.
Over the engine hood are mounted
automatic rapid-fre guns firing 4SC
shots per minute. Alongside of eacn
one is mounted a powerful search
light, over the front of which is at,
tached a photographic shutter for Wis
ual signaling. Each machine also car.
ries an AK, shovel and complete set
of cooking utensils, tents, blankets and
three days rations for the crew. The
cars are driven from thirty to forty
miles apart, and keep in touch with
each other every noon and every night
in order to ascertain the value of the
wireless equipment under all kinds o.
weather and road conditions.

.UNIVERSALISM OF
1872 CADILLAC

Since the announcement of the 1912
specifications of the Cadillac last week
a few questions have been asked as to
auxi' larry lights and ignition. After
reading the specifications the first
question naturally asked is, "Suppos-
ing the dynamo is - trouble, are your
lights and ignition out of commits
sion?" Now, this very point is where
the Cadillac makes it's great hit and
eXcels so many other makes of cars.
In incorI Grating a dynamo, a battery
and Delco system Operated by dry
cells) the Cadillac has at last solved
the question of auxiliary lights and
ignition. In the old system of presto
lite, if the tank is empty and no more
available, then it is a case of no more
light, or depending on kerosene oil
lights, which is most unsatisfactory.
In taking a trip around the island, if
there is not gas enough to last to
complete the trip, the finish has to be
made without lights, which is very
dangerous coming through the
gulches. With the new Cadillac sys-
tenn of electric lights the dynamo pro
vides the light; if the dynamo has
trouble, the storage battery comes
into play, automatically throws in and
supplies approximately the same
amount of current for the lamps. If
the storage battery should possibly
give out or get weak, then the current
can be temporarily supplied from the
dry cells which operate the Delco sys-
TEN. In this very simple way there
are three sources to be called upon
for headlights, and still the kerosene
lights also.
AS far as ignition is concerned, the
same thing is true. First, the ignition
is supplied by the dynamo. If this
becomes weak or troublesome, the
current can be switched off to the
storage battery, lid if this has trou-
BILE, the Delco system can be switched
on to, which is entirely separate from
the rest of the system. If the dry
cells for the Delco system happen to
be weak and the storage battery is
good, then it may be connected up to
the Delco system. One can readily
see from this explanation that the
are three separate lighting systems
and three ignition systems, and the
only extra apparatus supplied different
from the last years models is the in
stallation of the dynamo. 1t can read
lily be seen that with this new system
there is not one bit more comIlica-
ton than before or on other cars, as
practically all other cars are equipped
with a storage battery and set of dry
cells, so that in case one Of these is
exhausted the other may be used.
All Cadillacs brought to Honolulu
this year will be supplied with the
Kellogg power air pump, which in
itself is a very handy and advantage
GUS feature. Pumping W a tire with
a foot pump in warm climate Is
most exhausting and in itself a very
unpleasant feature of automobiling
Changing a tire on modern univer
sal quick detachable rim, such as the
Cadillac is using, is not a very hard
task, but the pumping is most ardu
GUS. The new Cadillac owners this
year will be relieved Of this unpleas
antness by using the power pump
which Is operated by the engine.
