Mrs. Gage began the organization
of the society as soon as she settled
in this city, according to several per-
sons who received correspondence
from her at that time. Shortly after
she had got a goodly quota OF mem

for the "Court of honor" OF the so
Ciety. which is composed of forty

We began to hear of reports that were
being spread about us by Mr.. Bell and
his friends, who, 1t was stated said
that we were not quite good, socially

His effort was to make us dlssaus-
fed with Washington, and so sell the
house back to him cheaper than we
obtained It. The property, meantime,
was becoming more valuable. Every
little while Mr.. Bell would send an
agent to us and ask mother If She

AVOIDS STARTER TROUBLE.
New Device Solves Engine Difficulty
in Winter.

Relief from that annual winter nui-
sance, the difficulty Of starting automo-
bile engines in cold weather. is offered
this season in several forms.
A new type of printing device which
has just been brought out will doubtless
attract favorable consideration from car
owners everywhere. because of the SIM
plicity OF the device and its proved
efficiency.
1t consists OF a priming plug. which
has one side an individual channel
for gasoline which Is reached through
a needle valve having a hollow top.
When the needle valve is turned back
few threads, and this can be done
easily without removing the heaviest
gloves, a few drops Of gasoline are in
jected and the valve closed again. The
gasoline flows down It's own channel to
the plugs base. where 1t vaporizes right
beside the firing points.
Being separated from the porcelain
by shell of steel, there Is no oppor-
tunity for the gasoline thus used to reach
either the porcelain or the spark points,
and therefore these parts cannot become
foul or covered with SCOT.
Neither can there be any danger to the
porcelain should the car be started with
out closing the needle valve. as any blast
from the hot exhaust will be kept away
from the porcelain.
It is claimed. and very reasonably. that
these priming plugs are not only a neces-
sity for such cars as are not fitted with

1918 ABBOTT-DETROIT
ANNOUNCEMENT is MADE
Seven Models Built on Two Chassis
Is This Years Pro-
duction.

The Abbott-Detroit line for 1913, an
nouncement of which is made today. con-
sists of seven medels built on two chassis.
Five models are known as Hoo and two
as 3i-4a The wheel bases are III and
116 inches, respectively. The descriptive
names of these two cars are derived from
the horsepower of the motors. On brake
test, the motors develop the range of
power above mentioned.
The three open and two closed bodies
built upon the t44-5O chassis incorporate
the most advanced ideas in design, are
complete in every appointment, and, to-
gether with the many new mechanical
features, make up most attractive line
of cars The models are seven-passenger
fore-door touring car, fore-door demi-
tonneau, fore-door battleship roadster,
fore-door and cab-sde limousine. The 81
40 chassis carries a fiye-passenger fore
door touring car and a three passenger
fore-door roadster. These cars are
mechanical duplicates of the 44oo chassis
in every respect except in wheel base
and power.
The new models are all equipped with
specially designed self-con aimed cleo
tric self-starter. Equally important is
the new front and rear underslung spring
construction on all of the models. This
arrangement lowers the center of gravity
wit hout decreasing the road clearance of
the axles or crank case. The springs are
exceptionally strong and gracefully sus-
pended. The body designs have been
beautified by striking rotund flare from
top to bottom of rear panel, which also
gives an added appearance of b.gness and
of interior dimensions
dash to front seat are much greater
than in many cars, while the upholster.ng
is rich and luxur!ant throughout, twelve
inches deep, with the latest Turkish roll
cushions. Heavy artillery wheels are
used. All the models are right-hand

equipment are in number of instances
in the small car class. which are very
easily started either in cold or warm
weather. There are many prospective pur-
chasers who prefer car without self
starter at all, and, Of course, there must
be cars to meet this demand. Many Of
last years models are being repainted
and are being brought up to date by be-
ing equipped with electric lights and self
starters.
With the addition of two or more
Cylinders to the power plant comes addi-
tfonal weight, not only from this stand
point, but also from the additional weight
OF the chassis and bodies. Heavier springs
and axles are being used. and heavier diff
ferentials, all of which adds materially
in the total weight OF the car when the
body and its equipments are put on. Then.
again, longer wheel bases means addi-
tfonal weight, and this has been done in
nearly every line from the roadster up to
the seven-passenger touring car. With
the Introduction of electric power plants
and storage batteries also comes an in
crease in the weight of the car. Many of
the manufacturers who scanted on the
weight of the axles or springs or other
important parts of their cars last year
have profited by their mistake and are
providing heavier parts in the 1913 models.
The carrying of demountable rims, either
on the sides or rear, likewise provides ad-
ditional weight. But even with all Of this
the lines are graceful and the cars well
balanced. Thicker upholstering is an
other added feature to many Of the new
models for the comfort of the passenger.
while luxurious appointments have re-
ceived much attention since the last
years models were put on the market.
Taken as a whole, the 1913 cars are all
that could be desired ia the way OF COM
fort. easy riding, quiet motors. equipment
and refinement. The manufacturers have
striven hard to produce the best after
years OF experience, and there is little
doubt but that they have attained the
height OF their success from this stand
point.

year with six-cylinder. cars for the
ffrst time in order to keep up with the
procession On the other hand, there
are, other manufacturers. who have
never built anything else but six-cylln-
der cars, and. of course, they are In the
pioneer class. A few who have been
building four and six cylinder cars for
several years past have entirely elm
mated the four-cylinder type, and are
dexoting their entire attention to the
construction of skies only.
The new models will have many re-
finements, whether they be of the four
or the six cylinder type. Many. of the
fours will have what the SKIES have In
the way of refinement and equipment
In order to meet the demand for those
who prefer a four-cyltnder car to a
motor plant with six. cylinders. Par
ticular attention has been given by the
manufacturers to the two important
features about a motor car-starting
and lighting. The coming year Will
find more cars equipped with electric
self-starters and electrically lighted
than ever before i'll the history of the
motor car. In many cases this Is IN
cluded in the equipment without extra
cost. In nearly every instance power
for starting and lighting is provided
by a small dynamo under the hood;
either on a direct shaft or connected
by a silent chain Many of them are
power plant, while others are elevated
on tripods and connected with the
pump shaft by a silent chain. Storage
batteries are supplied which are Kept

for starting and lighting Is proVlded

or get out and light up when darkness

lowed Immediately by the turning over
of the motor, which also automatlcaliy
cuts off the dynamo as soon as It starts
up. BY pushing another set OF buttons

wishes of the operator OF the macnlne.
Dealers are using these for strong
talking points on their cars, and there
is but little doubt but what they are
admirable features.

great value even to cars having such
devices.
The reason for this is that prirning cups
are usually situated some little distance
from the firing points, and under the best
of conditions are not SO sure of creating
