AUTO UPSETS TRADITIONS
Hudson Takes Place of State
Eouipage of Indian Prince.

Enthusiasm over the automobile on the
part Of His Highness the Maharajah OF
Huthwa, India, has caused traditions OF
hundreds OF years TO be set aside In the
displacement OF the princes state equipage
by self-starting Hudson. Of which he has
Just become the owner. He is said TO he
one Of the first OF the native Indian princes
TO take 10 the American automobile. He
maintains city palace at Calcutta, as well
as his official palace at Huthwa, some two
hundred miles distant. and between these
two regal residences his car is to-day his
conveyance.
On behalf Of the prince considerable in
vestigstion of both European and American
automobiles was made, and simplicity was
one Of the deciding factors. The smooth
ness and fine running qualities also ap-
pesled strongly. India has considerable
wealth. and Its roads in many sections are
sxcellent. for they have been built for hum
qreds OF years. The worth or the motor
car TO the wealthy classes Of India can
scarcely be overestimated, for the climate
deadly to horses.

MAXWELL AGAIN A WINNER.

The North American Glidden tour for
1912 has not yet been run. but what is
known as the Glidden OF South America
was recently contested in the Argentine
Republic. This tour, Of eight days dura-
ton. modelled on the reliability run which
has bccOEe a classic Of American touring
competition. curiouss enough was won by
the same make of car that was triumphant
in last years contest in the United States.
A Maxwell car made tho best score

pouring rain. To complete the resemblance

FAMOUS TEAM IN ROAD RACE.

Two Flanders cars have been entered In
the Santa Monica road race, TO be held
over the famous California course on
May T. The cars have been named in the
contest by the Studebaker Corporation g
Los Angeles branch. They will be driven
by Bob Evans and Jack Tower. The pilots
are now at Los Angeles, engaged In tuning
UP the machines for the race. 1t is possible
that these entries may be reinforced later
by a third car, driven by Frank Witt. This
will enable the Studebaker forces to be
represented by the same trio which estab-
lished a worlds record in the Tiedeman

Millions Being Spent
for Highway Improvement

ures show are being made everywhere for
the Improvement OF the highway system.
not only by tho construction of new roads,
but by what is equally important the
maintenance of those already built. From
the information gathered during the last
few months, it is estimated that the
amount which will be spent for road Inn
provement during 1912 will exceed $780,
10000 and will be greater than that ever
before spent in any one year.
The different methods of expending the
sums making up this grand total, as shown
by the laws of the several states, form an
interesting study. Since the beginning OF
the movement for the improvement OF
roads through state aid, more than two
decades ago, state after state has en-
braced the principle, until there are In ex-
cess OF thirty commonwealths In the Union
which have organized state highway de-
partments, through which aid, either fnan-
cial or otherwise. is extended to the towns
or local units.

At this season OF the year when country
road commissioners are repairing the high
ways with crushed stone motorists ma
many stretches that look dangerous 10 their

where rrts and hollows have been filled
with crushed stone will prevent injury to
the tires. says o Michelin man. The best

The distance should be estimated, so
that il will not he necessary TO throw In

which would necessitate fresh start while

when II would be impossible TO coast" over

NEW SELF.STARTER SHOWN
Compact Electrical Device Is In
yention of e. v. Hartford.

At least fifty well known automobile men
witnessed in this city last Tuesday a DEM
onstrat ton OF the merits of new electric
self-starter and lighting system Invented
by f. V. Hartford. president OF the Hart
ford Suspension Company. The tests were
made In sist street under conditions that
tried the mechanism to the utmost. as the
device was attached to q 7s-horse power six
cylinder Thomas car, which. IL is asserted,
requires Il pull of go pounds to turn over.
Dozens of times In the course OF half an
hour the motor was started by pressure on
button placed on the floor OF the car.
close TO the brake pedal
The system comprises one-tiiird horse
power motor, weighing about twenty
pounds. In starting an automobile only
small amount OF current is required, about
go to 2a5 watts for average sized cars. Tine
motor makes about 700 revolutions min
ute. and the gearing. which consists of
worm and worm wheel and spur gear and
pinlon, gives ratio OF about 100 to J.. This
turns the big Thomas motor at speed OF
seventy revolutions minute. The nywheel
OF the small motor weighs only two and a
hsls pounds. The starter is operated on
six volt battery, which is practically
standard for automobile ignition.
1T is not our idoa to attempt TO put this
starter on every type of car" said NJ.
Hartford The most desirable application
would be 70 have the manufacturer pro-
vide for II in the layout OF the chassis, and
We expect that eventually the manufacturer
will have the chassis for the starter In
closed in the traDsmiseion case. On the
Thomas car We have IL intcrposcd between
the gears and the transmission case out

Save 4S Per Cent

% per cent OF all old-typc
tires become rim-cut. This is
shown by statistics.
No.Rim-Cut tires wipe out
that loss completely.
Then we make these tires 10
per cent over the rated size.
And that oversize. under aver
age conditions, adds % per cent
to the tire mileage.
You get both these savings
in No-Rirn-Cut tires. Yet they
now cost no more than other
standard tires. Don't you think
such a saving worth while?
New-York tribune., 1912-04-21

Vulcanized into the base OF
this tire are six fat bands of
l26 braided wires.
These wires-by making the
tire base unstretchable--give us
a tire that need not hook to the
rim.

may be reversed - curved out
