Space Has Been Taken
for II Makes Of
Complete Cars.

-Four more high class makes of cars were
added this week to the already long list OF
exhibitors for the coming Brooklyn auto
mobile show. The total number Of eX-
hibitors is now seventy-seven, and the I'D
Regiment Armory during the week of Feb
ruary "A 70 March . will house no less than
go vehicles of all types, sizes and prices.
The quartet Just added are the Stearns-
Knight, the Rambler, the Flat and the
Wishart Dayton. the three former being OF
the pleasure type, while the Wishart-Dsy-
ton appears only In truck models.
In the Fiat booth will be shown the red
racer with which David Bruce Brown won
the 1911 Grand Prize race at Savannah.
There will be q number of other racing
cars shown In the booths of other ex-
hibitors. along with large number OF rae"
ing trophies The Stearns-Knight, as Is
we'll known. has as its feature the sliding
valve knight motor, and \ cut-out model
of this engine will be shewn in operation.
Another make of car which will show the
knight motor is the Columbia. The
Wishart Dayton truck takes It's name from
Spencer f. Wishart, the noted racing
driver who recently entered the commercial
vehicle industry.
An entirely new precedent for the deco
rating Of automobile shows will be re-
vealed at the Brooklyn exhibition. {. "

Long before the days Of automobiles and

and the same thing has been found TO be-
true OF magnetos At tho &. f.. Splitdorf
magnetic plant I'm The Bronx they turn
out on an average one magnetic u min

tho constant running Of these compact little
machines and the Earring and vibration To
which they are subjected. IL would not be
surprising II fairly large proportion Of
them should bc sent back TO the factory
for repairs.
As II happens. however, the surprising
thing is that only nine men are employed
IN the repair department OF the plant
though there are actually more than one
thousand men employe i'm making new
magnctos. The repair department, which

men repairing magnetCs, three working on

LOGIC OF CENTRE CONTROL
Even Old Motorists Find 1t a
Great Convenience.

One of the notable features at the auto
mobile shows is the tendency of manu-
facturers toward the centre control. With
steering wheel on the left side Of the car
George NJ. Dickson, general manager of the
National Motor Vehicle Company, # In
dianapolis, one of the companies 10 adopt
this form of drive, says:
The centre control has many advan-
,sges Some of these perhaps only the en-
cheering experts fully appreciate, as they
have 10 do with the fundamental structure
OF the car. Everybody can appreciate,
however, that the centre control allows
access TO both of the front doors. This is a
great convenience, as. no matter where the
car stops, the driver can get out easily,
without crawling over the other passenger.
The logical place for the steering wheel
IN this country is on the left side. Without a
doubt. The driver has a clear view Of the
road, both ahead and in the rear. For ex-
ample, If the driver wants to make tuIn,
and his car has the top up, 1t is an easy
matter for him 10 see whether any one is
coming behind him before he turns, pro-
vded he IS seated on the left side. Our
experience has been that this change Is
welcomed not only by beginners but BY
older motorists, who declare the change IN
drive is not only not bother but great
added cofpenience"

AUTOS NUMBER $4,000
Enormous Extent of Motoring in
United States Is Shown.
NEW YORK STATE IN LEAD
Nearly 1916, 900 New Cars Placed
in Commission in 1911
Motor Trucks in Use.

From time to time estimates of the ex-
tent Of automobiing In the United States
have been made, and. without the support
| Of authoritative figures have been accept
ed as pleasant flights of imagination. Yet
it appears that the most enthusiastic sta
tisticians have fallen short of the mark,
for motoring has assumed vogue greater
than had beer dreamed Of by those who
have essayed TO follow it's progress In this
| country.
| There ere $1,000 automobiles in use in the
United States, according to figures flr-
nished by the various secretaries Of state
to THE Automobile" which recently con-
Quoted an extensive campaign to obtain
the data If any figures could be more
authoritative they would be those furnished
/ by the federal government. but its census
is made only once In five years, and falls
to enlighten for any length Of time with
regard to such fast growing industry.
| The figures furnished show actually a
greater number of cars registered in 1911,
the total being 1850. Some OF the CON-
monweaiths, however-New Jersey being a
/ shining example require the registration of
cars coming in from other states. On this
| account It was necessary to make allow
ance for the number OF cars registered
more than once. the number being placed
at 1900. The reports show that there was
| paid In the various commemorative the
enormous total Of S3,9SJ,SiS for registration
tags. carrying the privilege Of operating
motor cars on the highways Of the conn
try.
The data also shows that 1881 cars
were registered for the first time In 1911;
I'm other words, that represents the num-
Der of cars placed in service for the nrst
time last year. It Is interesting TO note
that various estimates Of the number tf
cars likely to be sold during 1911 were In
,thc neighborhood Of 10000, one Of the most
prominent Of the prophets placing his esl-
mate at between 10000 and o0O,GO. But as
showing that prophets are liable to err In
their own country. It might be said that
more than one of them estimated the mum
her of cars In use at 10000 or $4,000.
In this state approximately shpD ears
were registered in 1911; California was sec
ond, with 80 202, and New Jersey always

on the list stood ohio, with 1913; htth
was PENNSYLVANIA. with A,ls2; Illinois stood
sevepth with slO4 and Indiana eighth
with sc. s26. In the way OF fees, New YORK

The figures furnished also give an idea
o. the extent Of the motor truck industry
There had been registered 2j,i5l power

HICKORY IS PLENTIFUL
Material for Auto Wheels. How
ever, Hard to Get At,

In the opinion Of Bert Morley, Of the
Kelsey Wheel Company, Of Detroit there
need he no apprehension OF a shortage OF
the best quality OF hickory, so largely
used in this country In automobile wheels
The difficulty Hes inc says, in the short
ness of the season H. which II can be
taken out of the forests. Bob Burman will
try wire wheels and Booth rims this sea
son. Mr.. Morley says, out despite this he
believes the hickory vince, is the thing for
general use in the United States
"On recent trip 10 Europe with the So
ciety OF Automobile Engineers | found that
wire and metal wheels are in most com
, mon use in England. while in France and
Germany comparatively few such wheels
are Seen" Mr. Morley said a few days
ago. Abroad. az In This country, the ar
tillery wood wheel continues to be more
popular. The most serious problem Of
wire wheels In America is due to our ex-
trene climate, which tends 10 expand and
contract the steel spokes to the breaking
point and makes 1t practically impossible TO
assure tire alignment
"The superiority Of one wheel over anoth-
er depends largely Ipon the quality OF the
hickory. Hickory OF proper quality Is not
a standard article, but specially. Right
hickory cannot be bought IN the open mar
l.ef. The Kelsey Wheel Company sends Its
own inspectors into Tho forests to select
the timber and TO the mills to sort Just
such stock as Is suitable for automobile
wheels
MANY automobile manufacturers are
watching the wheel situation because Of the
persistent rumor that there is likely 10 be
shortage OF hickory Were this the truth
there would be real cause for alarm. but
the fact Is that there ~ a plentiful supply
Of hickory, the difficulty being to lumber
Il in sufficient quantities during the com
paratiyely short perioas of each year in
which hard wood numbering is possible.
"The problem Is entirely UP to the wheel
maker. II lies with MIN TO meet this scar
city OF stock by laying in a large reserve
supply. For our business We carry con-
stantIv a reserve Of fully one hundred car
,oads or an equivalent supply for approx
,mately 5000 sets Of wheels. John Kelsey.
who has Leen' In the hardwood lumber
business for several years. states that the
hickory used in automobile making. r.
Oo. 900 spokes and 10000 'felloe rims. is
simply a drop IN the bucket compared TO
the vast amount OF timber In the South.
where hard woods pTSdCrninate, and where
there always Will be found a liberal per-
centage of hickory"

A SHORTAGE IN HUDSON
Factory Notifies Local Branch of
Unusual Conditions.

SO extraordinary has been the demand
for Hudson cars that the factory in De-
trolt has notified its local agent, the A.
Elliott Ranney Company. of a probable
shortage. the number being placed at 5000
cars for the season. Last season the short
age was 1900 cars and the increased de-
mand this year is undoubtedly due TO the
fact that the Hudson is now equipped with
a self-startng device.
THE notification does not surprise me-"
said s. 6. Toback general manager Of the
Ranney Company, yesterday. In fact.
have been looking for 1t since our expert
ences during the Garden show, when or
ders were far in excess of our expectations.
This will give prospective purchasers an

opportunity TO get In their orders before
our allotment Is exhausted.
The demand for the self-startng car
right through the winter has been Jnprece-
dented. but the real rush will come with
the arrival OF spring weather. in fact,
think the estimate of probable shortage Is
conservative. considering that the company
fell 1000 cars short of the demand a year
ago. There are twice as many .3l2 Hud-
sons in the hands of owners as there were
1911 cars at this time last spring. The car
has made good in fine shape"
