The interest Of Lozier owners and deai-
ers In the racing fortunes OF the cars main
tained by the company for that purpose
has been manifested on many occasions,
but !ts wide scope was not fully realized
until after the recent announcement Of the
company's withdrawal from racing. Since
that time c. A. Emise. sales manager OF
the company. has received several COM
munications asking that the company re-
scind Its determination 10 withdraw from
racing. and in some cases even offering to
finance the entire campaign cf racing

come from dealers. but the owners Of prt-
vate cars have not been backward in their
efforts to keep the Lozier hat In the

500 mile race at Indianapolis last year. is
among the owners who have offered their

This country is constantly developing
an army of middle-aged and elderly men
who have come out of the commercial
battle with substantial fortunes and who
decide to devote the final years Of their
lives to well earned recreation. II for no
other than social reasons. their families
buy high priced cars from time TO time
as a matter of course; but the man HIM
self. whether the family has been using
cars or not. is pretty certain TO come to
motoring as one OF his recreations.
I'm fact. FOR a man OF this type have
described, there are only three standard
recreations. These are golf. travel and
motoring. and IL is in motoring that they
find their truest and most satisfactory
recreation. They and their families cre-
ate market for cars that is never fall

nothing but the best and most luxurious.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY HEARING

G. c. DIEHL TALKS OF COST
Believes 100000 Would Be
Sufficient to Construct and
Maintain Boulevard.

Emphasizing its practical character and
supplying cost figures to show that the
2.oooCOo appropriation would be amnly suf-
hcient 10 build an exceptional seventy-two-
mile road. from Washington to Gettysburg
the advocates of the Lincoln Memorial
Highway contributed much information to
the Library Committee OF the House OF
Representatives at the hearing given Con-
gresham Borland's measure In Washing
ton few days ago. From the many ques-
uons put 10 those who appeared before the
committee il was plainly evident that the
Lincoln highway was something which in
terested Chairman Slayden and his asso-
ciates.
An eloquent sentimental appeal for the
highway was made by General John R.
Black chairman Of the Civil Service Com
mission, who In the course o. his remarks
said. AT the annual eacampmentg OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic we have
unanimously indorsed the proposition to
have the proposed Lincoln memorial take
the form OF a great boulevard from Wash
ington TO Gettysburg. and II II is built
1t will be only question of time before
it is extended to Richmond. binding the
North and South"
George G. Diehl. chairman Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association national good
roads board. who is also an experienced
road engineer. supplied figures in connec-
tion with the actual building of the high
way.
Il have carefully gone into the subject
of the cost OF construction" said Mr.. Diehl.
and | estimate the cost of a forty-foot
road. with a twenty-four foot strip Of
macadam treated with bituminous binder,
at 10000 a mile. This would make the cost
10000. and the cost of maintenance would
be $50 mile, including the renewal Of the
surface of the road every ten years"
In Mr.. Diehs opinion. the right OF way,
in all probability would not cost the fed
eral government anything, as the value Of
property would be so greatly enhanced by
the construction OF such a great memorial
that the people would gladly donate the
necessary proportion required for an ex-
pressive memorial road.
At the afternoon session OF the hearing
Logan Waller Page. director OF the office
of public roads or the Department OF Agri-
culture. appeared before the committee at
its request. and his estimates OF construc-
ticn and main tenance practically coincded
with Mr.. Diehrs figures. Mr.. Page sup

OLD CARS HARD AT WORK
Two of Early Crop Of Silent
KNIGHTS Are in Reno.

Out in Reno. New, doing mountain livery
service, are TWO six-year-old cars whose
history is remarkable. They are Silent
knight cars, built by Charles Y. Knight
himself in 1906. Shipped to Reno several
years ago. they are now owned by G. <.
Porter, proprietor OF the Golden Hotel. in
whose livery service they have done thou
sands of miles.
1t was not until the recent interest in
Stearns- knight cars swept the country that
these old models were discovered Visitors
to Reno have often remarked on these cars,
because in curious contrast to the majority
of cars used In mountain service they are
notably quiet and smooth running. This,
Of course. is due 20 the silent sleeve valve
type of motor which is employed in both
OF them.
In a letter to the Stearns company Mr.
Porter says that these old cars. so far as
the motor is concerned, are practically as
good as new. and that they are daily
called upon to take long, hard mountain
trips. Mr.. Porter purchased one OF the
cars about five years ago, and after watch
ing It's performance for year secured an
other Of the same model.
Now that the Silent knight motor is at
tracing such attention old cars OF the
same type are beginning to turn up in
every section of the country.

Well Known Figure IN
the Industry Makes
Study Of Demand.

In having a market that possesses tne
minimum danger Of sudden fluctuations OF
demand the cars that in price go upward
from the medium figures are the most fortu-
nate. according TO w. J. Mead, vice-prest-
Mich. Having given a great deal of thought
and investigation to the analysis Of selling
conditions. he has reached conclusions that
give him substantial ground for this belief.
Stability of demand is what all automo-
bile manufacturers seek" Mr. Mead says.
but this stability depends on the stability
ot the customers. In this respect the high
priced cars have quite different and more
favorable condition than the cars that are
intended for what might be imperfectly
generalized as the modest salary class. The

Perfecting This Sleeve-Valve Motor

All the prestige of famous cars

That was so with the others,

CINE In America gained greater
renown than the Stearns In its
l6 years.
One can't suppose that this

WHITE MAN SENT TO JAIL

Officer Campbell yesterday arrest
ed white man named John Furr for
begging on the street. Upon being
arranged in the Police Court this
morning he was simply charged with
vagrancy, but the testimony showed
he had in his possession when arrested
a coat and some ribbon which Emma
Cole, one of the witnesses, asserted
belonged to her. Furr was asked to
give an account of himself, and tell
the court where and how he procured
the woman's coat and ribbon. The
prisoner, in his defence said the owner
loaned him the articles. This the wo-
man denied. Fur was sent to jail
for sixty days.
