ATTAIN TAN SAYS I
MOTORS D|FFE:i,
Smith Tells Why Specifica-
tons of Same Figures Are
Not Alike.

Specifications are misleading in auto
mobile Advertising" says L. f. Smith,
manager OF the Oakland Motor Company.
1T is just about as fair to compare two
cars having the same motor dimensions.
wheel base and other Identical details,
as it is to compare two men wearing the
same size hats-you can not judge their
efficiency by similarity Of looks or size
Two motors can be alike in bore and
stroke and still differ materially in the
power and efficiency. The question nat
urally arises. What makes the differ
ence?' And the answer is The method
of manufacturing and the materials used.
As an example, the quality Of the motor
depends on the way the pistons are
ground, the style of bearings used, the
type of gears, the carburetion and the
method of fabrication. What is true or
the motor is true of every other com
ponent part. The Oakland does not rely
on its specifications.
Some motor cars eat up power be-
fore it reaches the place where 1t is
needed-through rear wheels. Rated horse
power and actual horsepower or pulling
power are two separate things. A motor
might develop 40-horsepower and deliver
% to the driving wheels because of poor
construction and plan Of design employed
and the resulting excessive friction.
I'm Oakland construction we deliver, we
believe, the maximum horsepower TO the
rear wheels because we have eliminated
friction and the use of extra universal
joints by the adoption of the unit power
plant. When you transmit power from
one unit to another YOU waste little Of
it through every reduction. In the Oak
tray ar,,f~ adj
shaft bearings are perfectly aligned on one
shaft and the same principle of conserva-
/ ton Of energy is carried out until II
reaches the rear wheels, and, therefore
the power waste is very slight IL there
| is any at all.

AUTO MEN WANT
UNIT ORM LAWS
REGULATION of Speed Limit Is
Especially Advocated by the
Owners of Cars.

With the converting of the legislatures
in many states this fall, there is wide
spread interest among motorists as to
what new laws affecting the operation of
motor vehicles upon the public highways
will be enacted.
1t is the opinion of motorists, as well
as state and municipal officials, that ev-
cry effort should be made to secure uni
formity in automobile regulations, espe-
cially as concerns the speed limit, so that
tourists in passing from one state to an
other will not be met by the town fathers
or the village streets, holding up with a
red flag in order to derive source of
revenue
As a general rule the rank and file of
automobilists. upon entering small COM
munity drive cautiously, respecting the
rights of pedestrians and other users of
the road, carefully observing the local
traffic rules.
Touring Club in Van.
The Touring Club of America for several
years has advocated uniformity in the
regulations governing the operation of
motor vehicles, and the success of it's
efforts has been reflected in the enact
ment of many new state laws and NUM-
cipal ordinances which the club has rec
commended
Lord Montagu, a British authority on
motoring affairs, while a guest of the
Touring club officials on his recent visit
to the United States, referred to the
chaotic conditions under which motoring
is carried on in this country, and. in a
review OF his dissertations, has the fol-
lowing to say in recent issue of The
Car:
In the United States there is al least
one serious Inconvenience to motorists
which should be removed before long
Every state makes it's own laws under
which motor cars may run, issues it's
own orders as to speed limits. and has a
different system of regulations.
ut is as if every county in England or
every department in France differed in the
regulation and administration of motoring
matters In every state there is a speed
limit, sometimes the same and sometimes
differing from its neighboring state.
Speed Limits DIsregarded
Needless to add. everywhere in amer
lea, as elsewhere all over the world. these
speed limits are habitually disregarded be-
cause they can not be enforced. In New
York, for instance, eight miles an hour
is the maximum speed limit in the pub
lie parks, though motor cars seldom pro-
ceed at less than twelve. Other cities have
different limits.
Everywhere one sees accounts of oc-
casonal captures made by the police of
cars for exceeding the speeding
rs it is called-and the offenders are fined
pretty heavily, more heavily than they
would be fined in most European coun-
tries
I'm Washington there are individual
and special speed limits of twelve miles
am hour in the streets, eight miles an
hour at crossings, and four miles an hour
AT corners. These well-intentioned regu-
iauons are, of course, not obeyed. and can
not be universally enforced, but the pub
DC know in general way they exist and
human-like, they are comforted"

STEARNS KNIGHT CAR
WINS PRIZE IN HARD
ENDURANCE CONTEST

The Stearns Knight car again came into
the limelight a short time ago in the
endurance contest given by the Pine Tree
Motor Contest association, Of Portland,
Maine
This contest, run under the rules and
with the sanction of the contest board
of the American Automobile association,
was an especially hard one, as is shown
by the fact that during the entire AL
miles of the trip an average of 263s
miles per hour was obtained To those
experienced in automobile driving, a grand
average of 26 miles per hour for three
days consecutive running is something to
be held in great respect, especially in view
Of the fact that this car carried ladies
during the entire trip, and the contest
was turned into a pleasure trip as much
as anything else.
In commenting upon the performance
Of this car w. f. Hackett, the Stearns
dealer who drove the car. says:
The face is, we came home with
clean score. for which | received the sill
yer cup in division GA. Our competi-
tors were cars listed from SO 600 to 81

Crane.
The Aftermath of a Skill.
Mr. Crane is a man born and edu-
Gated in the North. IT took an automo-
bile accident to send him to Dixie.
Ii happened one night that Mr.. Crane
was beating along a bit of sharply
crowned road leading into Hartford. 1t
was cold and beginning to grow dark.
The car was going so or So miles an
hour when, without warning it dove
head-on into the rear of a stiff hail
for a half hour or so and piling the
slippery hail on the road half-inch
deep.
The second the car hit the hail, there
was tremendous skid, the machine
side-swiped telegraph pole Jumped a
fence. cavorted about a field. and turn
ed over. There were four people in the
car when the accident happened. And
not soul was hurt The car. however,
was slightly shaken.
This is Mr.. Cranes account Of it:
II telephoned to Hartford for the
Pope Hartford wrecking crew. And
then, while | was waiting for them. |
had an hour on my hands. / spent
this hour looking over my machine.
critically. 1t was the first time / had
done it, And | learned more of auto
mobiles in that hour of study of that
overturned Pope Hartford than | had
ever learned in my whole life before.
That hour, out on the road. i'm that
hailstorm, convinced. me that there
wasn't an automobile in the world but
Just one. The next morning | went out
to the office and asked them If they had
any open territory They said they had
in Atlanta SO | beat it down here"
Mr. Crane comes from a family Of
means and influence. His father was
connected with the old Wagner Sleep
ing Car Company. which was later alb
sorbed by the Pullman. MIR. Crane
