Mr. Rodriguez car mas been very
generally admired, and he can hardly
accommodate the great number OF his
patrons who all want to be among the
first to ride In II.
OF the Cadlllacs which just arrived,
a fine Ave passenger touring car was
delivered to Mr.. p. NJ. Pond. and an.
other Cadillac touring car to Mrs.
Mary f. Foster. Both of these people
are more than delighted with their
new Purchases.
A great deal has been said about
the superior merits of the Cadillac.
It remained for Mr.. c. F. Kettering,
however, to find a new way of making
use of the now famous electric crank.
ing device.
Mr. Referring VINO is well known
as the inventor of the Delco electric
eranking, lighting and ignition system
'on the Cadillac cars recently had an
experience which demonstrated that
the crEnking device can sometimes be
used for other purposes than that of
simply starting the engine.
Mr. Kettering was driving frcm Day
ton to Springfield, Ohio, and came to
a stretch of road, about 100 yards in
length which was under water. He
attempted to drive through, but when
he had gone about half way he found
that the water was deeper than he
anticipated. 1t was so deep in fact
that the carburetor was submerged,
and of course, the engine stopped. Mr.
Kettering found himself marooned. so
to sueak, in q miniature lake.
But this did not worry him. He
threw the electrical cranking device
into action and engaged the clutch.
The car moved as though under its
normal power, and backed to safety.
Among other sales made by the Won
Hamm-Young Company this week was
one of the well known Model AZ, FIVE
passenger, fifty h. p. Buick touring
cars, which was sold to the Kauai
Garage Company, at Lihue, Kauai.
Also a Model 81 T, five passenger

The Won Hamm-Young Co., have
just received the announcements Of
the 1913 Lozier, which have proven
Of great deal of interest to automo
biltst in Honolulu.
The new six cylinder Lozier, type
70 is equipped with double Bosch mag
neto-triple ignition, it develops eighty
actual brake horse power. This power
full motor can be throttled down to
four miles an hour, and be increased
within a minute to express train speed
on direct drive.
The Lozier, which has for a good
many years led American motor cars
in design and construction offers for
1913 a great many improvements,
which will probably be adopted as
standard by other cars, just as have
most of the other epoch making in
novations embodied in Lozier cars
since the first one was marketed in
1904.
One of the main innovations in the
1913 car is the left hand drive with
center control.
The control levers are in a con.
venient position for the driver, yet
entirely out Of the way Of the oc-
cupants of both of the front seats.
This new change makes is possible to
open both fore doors, and allows the
driver to get in and out of the car
without molesting the passenger on
his right hand side.
The Lozier automatic oiling system
is one of the greatest achievements Of
the Lozier engineers in recent years.
High oil level at high speeds-low oil
level at low speeds--a smokeless ex-
haust at all speeds. Valves free from
carbon. Perfect fabrication and mar
velous efficiency, 800 to 400 miles per
gallon.
Triple ignition is another forward
step in design, learned from racing
experience. The 1918 Lozier Is fit
ted with Bosch Double Magnetic, which
gives, when desired, two sparks stimuli
taneously in each cylinder, providing
remarkable increase in power. This
magnetic, with the battery, provided
three distinct sources of ignition.
The six cylinder motor is of new
design, the, most powerful ever put in
a Lozier car. Vibrationless at highest
speeds, noiseless in action.
The car is equipped with fifty-eight
sets of ball bearings. more than are
used in any other car in the world.
These eliminate friction and transmit
the power Of the motor to the driving
wheels with minimum loss. This is
