Winner of Novelty Race.

An American Underslung Tourist. man.
ufsctured by the American Motors Com
pany. Of Indianapolis. has again returned
victorious in a race.
The latest victory for the Undressing
car was a novelty race at Marshalltown,
Iowa. This was a two-mile race in which
the driver drove one-half mile carrying
passenger, then stopped under the wire.
at the end of the half mile, let out the
passenger. cranked the car. drove half
a mile again, stopped the engine. picked
up a passenger and cranked the car. At
the end of the next half mile the car
was again stopped. passenger alighted.

was driven alone.

you get Just what you buy-a low-priced
car. It is the car of medium price that
is undoubtedly the best buy from the
standpoint of upkeep. All you buy. over
a medium price Is luxury. Luxury adds
to upkeep cost. II you pay less that

QUICK TIRE REPAIRS.
Some Methods Not known to the
Ordinary Driver.

Some Of the simplest and easiest
methods of quick tire repair are not
always known to the average driver Of
motor cars. Many men not only know
little about the interior workings Of
their car, but are absolutely helpless
when a tire goes bad. They have no
intuitiye mechanical knowledge and have
not picked up the little tricks and stunts
that help so much.
The tire occasionally gives them trou-
BILE because they do not know OF some
Of the simple little things that can be
made SO useful in emergencies. Expert
enced motorists know well the use to
which an old casing can be put in case
OF a blow out. For temporary purposes
the best thing to do is to cut out a sec
ton of the discarded casing about eight
inches long, stripping of the rubber
tread from the fabric. The layers Of
fabric can then be used as an inside
patch. No cement or other material Is
necessary. as the pressure of the tube
holds the patch in place. A man can
often cover many miles with this crude
sort OF a repair Job and often, too. 1t
will get him out OF a hole that other
wise might prove exceedingly annoying.

truth that things are not as they used to
be.
In looking back over a brief period Of
dxteer years. We find that it was as late
as 1896 when England repealed the famous
locomotive act passed in 1855. by the
enemies of the road locomotive, and
which caused almost utter stagnation IN
motor car building until its repeal.
Among other things this act prescribed
that the number of persons required 10
drive the locomotive should be increased
TO three; that a man should precede with
a red flag: that the maximum limit
should be reduced 20 four miles an hour.
and that they should be forbidden ever to
blow OF steam That the public mind
underwent a sudden change as to what
was considered proper safety and speed Is
evidenced by the fact that in Just ten

Tale of Upkeep Cost of Car.

Car Company. who represents the
Chalmers in Washington. Just returned
from an extended and pleasant North

Keller the upkeep cost OF a car" was
mentioned, and he said that it depends
upon the car you buy and how you treat
IL. The average man who has never
owned a motor car has an exaggerated
idea of the cost of upkeep.
How many times have you heard the
expression: I can afford to buy a car.
