BUICK CAR PULLS THROUGH
SEVERE TEST SUCCESSFULLY

No better illustration Of the high eff

possibly be furnished than that shown In

Central Control is
the Newest Feature

Probably the predominating improve
ment found on high grade cars at the
recent shows is the almost universal
adoption Of the center control. Many
makers Of high priced cars have con-
ceded the superiority Of central loca-
ton for the change speed levers.
President John N. WHY'S. maker Of
Overland motor cars. was the first au-
tomobile manufacturer to adopt the CEN
ter control and this most advanced me-
chanical invention the industry has seen
for two or three years has been embodied
in Overland specifications for two sea-
sons. That the Overland organization
demonstrated Its usual keenness of fore
thought in bringing out the first center
control Is. evidenced by its adoption on
nearly all leading cars.

$1,OOO,OOO Spent
Perfecting This Sleeve-Valve Motor

All the prestige of famous cars
was staked on new-type motor.
That was so with the others,
and so with the Stearns. No en-
CINE In America gained greater
renown than the Stearns In Its
l6 years.
One can't suppose that this
change was made hastily, or that
il lacked incentive.
We followed three years after
Daimler. And two OF those years
were spent testing this engine out.
Consider these facts when some
body tells you that poppet valves
are going to continue.

GO OUT ON STRIKE
Freight traffic, already badly
tied up as a>result of the freight
handlers strike, was further
hampered this afternoon by a
strike of all tugboat men work
ing out of Chicago harbor and
South Chicago.
While the walk-out is expected
to help the freight handlers in
their fight, it was not a strike in
sympathy with them. The men
quit work in an effort to force
immediate consideration of union
tugmen, who have been on strike
for several weeks. Union en-
gineers, stokers and members of
allied trades were affected by to-
days strike order.
AS was expected, the general
managers of the railroads affect
ed by the freight handlers strike
refused to even consider the ar
bitration proposition submitted
by the union mem reiterating
their declaration that conditions
were normal, and that so far as
they were concerned, the strike
was not noticeable.
This action means that the
strike will develop into a bitter
no-conpromise fight to finish
between the roads and the union.
To force a more complete tie
up, it is likely that members of
the union in Milwaukee, St.
