USED AUTOS GREAT
PROBLEM TO DEALERS.

Getting rid of the used cars taken
in trade is one of the hardest problems
that some of the automobile dealers
have to contend with. A few, how
ever, look upen this end of their bust
ness in the light Of an asset and have
made their second hand departments
self supporting. Those who are hand
ling their seconds" at a loss have only
themselves to blame, for in their
anxiety to make sale they offer a
price for a used car which is absurd
when the cost of running their bust
ness and the real market value of the
particular make are considered; and
again there are many dealers who have
not the proper facilities to overhaul
their seconds and put them in shape
at a reasonable cost. Many think it
Is sufficient to give the old machine a
coat of varnish and let it go at that.

a six weeks battle with snow, mud
and sand in the wilds of New Mexico
and Arizona are described by Henry B.
Joy, president Of the Packard Motor
Car Company. who has just returned to
his home in Detroit The trip was
made with a standard ''Six" chassis,
ca. ying a special camp body and
equipment.
Leaving Denver late in January, Mr.
Joy drove over the famous Ration pass
to El Paso, thence to the Roosevelt
dam and the Grand canyon, ending the
tour at Yuma.
For twenty-three miles beyond Ra-
ton it was first and second speed work
all the way through mire and snow,
mostly deep mud" said Mr.. Joy. "Then
we came to a washed-out bridge and
made a long detour. Three miles out
of Wagon Mound we plunged so deep
ly into mud and snow that it took us
two hours TO extricate the car. After
toiling in the muck with shovels We
managed to pull out on our own power.
Further on we noted that valuable
work is being done in reconstructing
the old Santa Fe trail. Excellent prog
ress is being made in building a

UNIQUE INVENTIONS
FOR SAVING PLATINUM.

The increasing demand for platinum,
particularly for use in the manufacture
of ignition apparatus for automobiles
has led to the invention of several
unique devices for saving fine, powdery
grains of the platinum which is found
in the gold placer deposits of southern
Oregon and Alaska.
The platinum being in a state of very
fine division, almost of dust, will not
settle In a placer sluice so long as the
water is agitated. After the water ana
gravel has passed over rifle table, on
which nearly all the gold settles, it is
drawn more slowly over a cocoa-mal
rifle, on which the platinum settles,
and it is then collected by rinsing the
mats over tanks. Formerly the plati-
mum was all wasted because its iden-
tity was not known and afterward be-
cause no process for saving 1t was
devised

modern motor car road between Santa
Fe and Albuquerque. 1 would like to
refer to just one climb, q five-mile as
cent known as Yarnell Hill, north of
Stanton, Ari. Our Six made it on
low gear only by jumping it, that is
speeding up the motor and then drop
ping in the clutch and making any
where from three to twenty feet. The
grades ranged from twenty to thirty
per cent.
From Prescott to Ash Fork was good
going and then came the most critical
stage of the journey. Not drop of
water between Ash Fork and the Grand
Canyon. There are many trails, and it
is easy to go wrong. On numerous oc-
casions the failure of a part would
have meant perilous foot journey on
short rations over many mountainous
and desert miles. Never before have
l subjected car to such strains, road
shocks and outrageous toll. I believe
this test proves the stamina of the ve-
hicle from the motor through all con-
nections to the ground.
Mr.. JOY was accompanied by M.
j. Budlong, president of Packard
branches, and H. H. Hills, sales man
ager at the factory.

There may be an air of gloom sur
rounding the general automobile vista
since the defeat of the Stickel bill for
automobile reciprocity in this State.
Admitted. And this same dismal spirit
is manifested much stronger in some
places than in others. Also admitted.
But have not men who have been
working hard for five years for a
measure only to have it ! terally '.sat
on" a right to feel in slightly dimin-
ished spirits? Echo answers yes.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-03-23


There are few soreheads, however.
Defeat was unexpected by many, but
when ii came it was taken on
the whole philosophically. Not that
the killing of the measure was
absolute. Ten votes to eight is
not a great margin to crow over
and to date we have not heard q
great deal of growing. There is also
a suppressed air of something doins
under the surface which has ten
dency to keep down any super-exuber-
ance of spirit which otherwise might
be manifested. After all, there does
not appear to be so very much to be
proud about. The result was simply
that a good bill, something on the
order of which must ultimately be
passed. was temporarily held up. If
Federal action is made necessary by
this latest move of the Senate the
higher legislators have only them
selves to blame. Even after the SEN
ate had held up the bill the first time
it was presented, the House was still
strongly for il.
