HUPP MOTOR INCREASES
CAPITAL TO $750,000
Declares a 90 Per Cent stock Divi-
dend Out of Surplus.

Papers have just been filed with the
Secretary of State increasing the capi-
tai stock of the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany from $4,000 to $4,000. the
increase of s25o.00o being accomplished
by the transfer of that amount from the
company's surplus to capital account.
The increase of stock forms per
cent stock dividend. also voted at the
stockholders meeting.
This action explained President J.
Walter Drake yesterday, follows the
expansion of our equipment and faciE-
ties to take care of the increased de-
mand for Hupmobiles. The specifica-
tions which have recently come in from
our dealers throughout all parts of the
world call for the construction OF 1900
OF our cars to be delivered during the
1913 season.
During the fiscal year just now
coming to a close We have marketed
upward OF S,000 cars-a very satisfac-
tory production considering that our
manufacturing facilities were somewhat
held back in the early part Of the sea-
son by the erection of our new plant.
In spite of the fact that our new
plant was finished last spring. composed
of four immense buildings. two stories
in height, covering a factory floor space
of five acres, We have since that time
erected two large additional units-one
addition for the final test and assembly
and the other TO be used as a ware
house for the storing of parts. Sew
eral other buildings are now in course
of construction and will be completed
before snow flies"

the advantage Of being free from pune
lures Think of the heavy treads which
have been put upon tires which would
wear from 10000 TO $1,000 miles when the
carcass under them would not last one
tenth as long. Think Of the thick-wail
carcass az with ten or twelve plies of
fabric TO prevent blowouts, which have
gone TO pieces In a few hundred miles
owing to the heating and disintegration
caused by friction generated as the tire
revolved along the road. Think of the
fabric re-enforced inner tubes which
have gone to pieces because they were
trying to perform the functions OF both
the casing and the inner tube, falling
TO perform the functions OF either we'll
Think Of the self-healing tubes which
have been put upon the market. to self
heal in event OF puncture, which have
proven impracticabIe owing to the diff
Guilty In repairing them in case of pinch
or blowout, as well as their increased
cost. Think Of the cushion tires where
the casing is filled with bridgework
of rubber to do away with compressed
air which have gone TO pieces. due to
excessive friction and heating: also think
of those filled with metal in the form
Of springs which crystalline and cut the
casing to pieces. All of these types and
many others were designed with the one
idea Of correcting some known defect
in the pneumatic tire without giving due
regard to preserving the good points of
the present standard tire.
Up to the present time but two salts
factory methods of properly and prac-
tically cushioning the wheels OF an auto
mobile have been discovered. One Is a
cushion OF some kind OF compressed gas
(air being the cheapest and besO in
closed in a retainer sufficiently flexible
and durable, which is the standard pneu
matte tire of to-day. and the other
method, the substitution for the COM
pressed gas of a resilient and flexible
solid body, for which purpose properly
compounded india rubber gives the best
results.
In spite Of all the new devices and
patents which are constantly being
brought to our attention. there is moth
ing yet which seems to have sufficient
merit 10 give the slightest chance Of re-
placing a well-balanced pneumatic or
solid rubber tire.

WHY OVERHEAD VALVES ARE
USED IN BUICK ENGINES
n. II. Collins Explains the Theory
of This Practice.


Overhead valves are used on all Buick
engtnesy r. H. Collins. sales manager
Of the Buick Motor Car Company. re-
this practive. Mr.. Collins said:
"A gasoline motor Is for all practical
purposes a heat motor. A mixture Of air
and combustible gas Casually gasoline
gas is taken into cylinder and after
being compressed is exploded or burned
suddenly.
The rapid rise in temperature means
rapid expansion or increased volume of
the gas This drives the piston down.
ward. which motion is, through proper
devices, transmitted to the crankshaft
1t is evident that the greater the change
in temperature the more will be the pos
sibilities for power development.
THE overhead valve permits the use
Of a perfectly symmetrical combustion
chamber. The wall area of this combus-
ton chamber is very materially less
than that of combustion chambers in #
or L head motors 1t is easy to per-
ceive that the greater the wall area
the more the incoming charge Of gas and
air will be heated by its contact with
the walls. 1t Is also evident that the
greater the wall area the more the heat
will be given up to the walls while the
charge is being burned. 1t. therefore

The overhead valve motor, therefore

The purchaser. however. is the gamer
in that for a given power he has a
smaller motor, that he burns less gaso-
line so that his maintenance cost is
considerably reduced.
There are various valve schemes for
permitting the iugress of the charge of
gas and air and the egress of the prod
ucts of combustion. No device yet de-
veloped is quite equal to the overhead
poppet valve. The poppet valve is the
simplest and requires the least attention.
II lubricates itself from oil present in
the cylinder. so no special lubricating
arrangements are necessary.
If, from any unusual cause. one OF
these valves sticks or fails to function
properly. the greatest amount of diff
Guilty it can cause is preventing one par
ticulsr cylinder to do its normal amount
of work. Such valve trouble with a pop
pet valve cannot cause breakage of other
