PLAN CHANGES IN
FUTURE CONTESTS
Manufacturers Undecided as to
Merits of Team or Indi=
vidual Competition.

Whether touring contests of the future
will take the form of team contests, such
as the last Glidden tour, or competitions
between individual cars is a question thar
is causing a great deal of discussion at
the present time. While the contest sea
son is rapidly drawing, to a close and
there will be little to Indicate the trend
OF the sport until after the last fall Of
snow, the nature of next years competi-
ton is a matter of considerable interest
TO automobile manufacturers
There are makers who believe hat team
contests furnish an opportunity to judge
of reliability more faithfully thar others,
while there is also an element c~ontending
that individual car scores should be the
basis of determining Each kline
of contest has its supporters, and it is
certain that the matter will be considered
in the deliberations by the -sport-governins
bodies during the winter, although il is
by no mean positive that the contest
calendar will shape itself accordingly.
Dozens of minor contests planned by
local automobile clubs, individual pro-
moters, newspapers and trade associations
are conducted annually under the rules of
the American Automobile Association and
a great many are held under special rules
tended to evolve a winner from a reliabil-
ity standpoint and in a fair measure ac-
complishing that purpose.
Iii many cases, however, a contest be-
tween individual cars makes it possible
for a maker to enter a whole fleet. Of
machines, each standing on its own rec
ord, and il one car wins while its team
mates fail nothing is heard of the de-
compete the showing of every car is
brought equally before the attention of
buyers and they are not misled in any
way.
No serious effort has yet been made 20
get the consensus of opinion concerning
the merits of either contest.

ADVOCATES TOUR
ACROSS COUNTRY
DR.. Percival Says Time Is Ripe
for AutOists to Make
Trip.

zone thing that should be persistently
advocated continually is a national trans
continental automobile tour from New
York city to San Francisco said DR..
Charles G. Percival, editor of Health
Magazine, who is now on the Pacific coast
laying out a route from Mexico to British
Columbia, to be known as the Internal
tional Highway. DIR. Percival showed con-
siderable enthusiasm over the subject, and
continuing, said: Il do not understand
why such a tour has not already been
promoted by the A. A. A. There is no
enterprise hat should appeal more strong
ly to both the owner and manufacturer
"a car to compete successfully would
have TO be built so as TO stand up under
all sorts of road conditions, and Ii would
therefore give the purchasing public a
more comprehensive idea of the merits of
the competing cars, and the manufacturers
a better idea of all the requirements to
be met with. The vast amount of publicity
that such a tour would obtain would be of
great value to the industry, and would
help to stimulate business. The great
variety of roads TO be met with would
give the tour unusual interest and a GER
tain historical interest would attach itself
to the tour, following. as it must, the
route laid out by our early pioneer emf
THE practicability of such a tour has
already been demonstrated and motor
quite common The trip is one which can
be taken with absolute safety, and 1t en-
tails but few hardships, none of which are
much more strenuous than some of the
annual reliability runs of the past; We
who have covered the trip know that it
is far less trying than last years Glidden.
The need of a national tour from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast is too evident
to need much discussion. Once fairly
started a national cross-continental tour
would be an assured success. Why not
do it now?"

A "MAXWELL" RUN.

The annual Maxwell run, gotten up
by j. w. Mason, the Maxwell and Coluni-
bia agent i'll Newark, was held on last
Wednesday night and was one of the
most successful ever held by the Max.
well II For the past four years the
run has been held from Newark to Elem
ington, where a turkey dinner has beer
p%artaken of.
This year the schedule was adhered tc
and a most enjoyable time was had by
all who participated. The party jour
neyed to the scene of the festivities in
eleven Maxwell cars. together with q
Cadillac and a Columbia.
Among those who took part were: Mr.

MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY
NOW PRINCIPAL OBJECT

THE Development Of motorcars from
now on is going to be in the direction Of
greater mechanical simplicity and more
economical use Of power" said Charles &.
Hay ward, former secretary of the Society
Of Automobile Engineers, the other
evening.
'The fundamental requirements OF a
good motorcar nave boon definitely de-
ter1nined, The only change that can ar
feet them is some rev discovery or rev
olutionary inventi64. But there viii he
progress towards greater economy and
stability, and it is along these lines that
ingenuity Is working.
1T has been pointed out by automobile
experts that the serious lesson or the
Chicago motortruck test this fall was the
Importance Of light. strong construction
and simple mechanism, applying the power
with the least loss between The engine
and the traction wheels. Tile same thing
applies to pleasure cars, OF course. The
more dead weight a car has the more
power it needs to move a given load at q
given speed, the more fuel II consumes,
the more the wear and tear on mechanism,
frame, body, and particularly tires

SELF=STARTER QUESTION
BOTHERING ENGINEERS

The self-starter question is one that has
given automobile engineers much study.
It has been a subject more or less com
plicated, and automobile manufacturer
have been rather slow in adopting the de.
vice for fear that its practicabillty stage
had not been fully developed. and was
adopted only after rigid experiments. II
has been proven that the starter. a simple
device, is practicable. In fact, manufac-
turers guarantee them.
Electric lighting for automobiles is a
problem that automobile /engineers have
given much attention. Its value was
early determined, but TO have a lighting
system tina would not work under all con
ditions was what held the manufactures
back. This drawback has been overcome,
aud many machines. especially closed cars
are now being equipped with electric
lighting systems.

AMERICAN CARS NOT
NOISY, SAY MAKERS.

American manufacturers and dealers are
quick to refute the allegation or implica-
ton hat American made motorcars are
not as quiet as, some of those made abroad.
It is admitted that the models Of a few
years ago may not ave been as quiet as
they should have been, but it is now stated
alphabetically that new improvements made
in bringing the American car up TO its
present high standard have eliminated the
disagreeable noise feature.
The latest models of American cars,
both high and low priced, are just as
quiet, makers and dealers assert, as any
cars manufactured abroad, and the state
ment is made that there probably Is no
American manufacturer but would readily
enter a silence contest with any European
make of cars in the same class as his
own.
