Saving Money In n Car.
Accessibility Is one of the most
abused words in the English Ian
guage when used in connection with
an automobile said Mr. j. n. Simms
recently when approached for infor-
nation regarding the improvements
to be found on 1913 cars. Every
manufacturer Claims that his ma
chine Is the acme of accessibility
In fact. practically every make on
the market is the most accessible
If you take the advertising mans
wosd for It, But you can't realize
how much he has strained the def
milton of the word until you have
bad experience with that particular
car,
Now, whether man takes care
OF his car himself or not, it means
n great deal to him to have a car
that Is really accessible. II three or
four hours have to be spent in tear
ing down other parts just TO get
at something that needs trifiing at
tention, and the same amount of
time has To be put in getting things
together again, the repair bills are
going TO be heavy.
Let me illustrate on this Stevens
Duryea here. If 1t were necessary TO
examine the pistons, for instance,
they can be Withdrawn by removing
the bottom of the crankcase. moth
ing else has TO be disturbed. That
may not mean much to you at first
sight. but If you had to disconneci
the manifolds, the wiring, the fan.
the radiator connections, take out all
the cylinder bolts and then hoist the
cylinders off the crankcase. you
would have very practical example
CT the difference between the &C
feasibility of the Stevens Duryea
motor and the ordinary type.
The average owner of a motor
car doesn't appreciate the amount OF
work involved. 1t would take al
least two days tfnfe for a good rYfe-
chanie and an assistant to do that
job, and the cost plus that of doing
whatever actual repairing II requlr-
ed Is enough to make the man wis

decides that all garage men are rob-
beFs, pure and simple. or that auto
mobile repairing is something that he
doesn't fancy having to pay for very
often.
I'm contrast with this the Stevens
Duryea pistons can be taken out and
put back in a few hours, and every
other part of the mechanism Is
equally accessible. For instance, tbs
clutch can be taken out without dis
turbing any related parts. the Trans
mission ditto. on sonic of the highest

that what a valuable thing aecessi

The Liverpool Pavement.

From the New York Sun.
The advantages claimed for the Liver
pool style Of granite block pavement,
which is to be tried in this city in Canal
street west OF Broadway, are great en-
durance under heavy traffic, continuing
smoothness of surface and reduced noise.
The essentials of the system are an ade-
quate base and stone of good quality cut
in smaller cubes than those with which
New York is familiar, set true and thor
oughly waterproofed in the joints. 1t is
declared that the Liverpool pavements
built In this manner have been highly
satisfactory to drivers and the public
authorities and economical to keep in re-
pair.
The problem presented by such high
ways as Canal street is older than the
motor car, on which much of the blame
for bad street surfaces is now put, al
though 1t is complicated by the growing
popularity Of heavy, engine-driven trucks.
The road builder has always faced the
certainty that as his work improved the
demands on it would become greater. His
position is not unlike that OF the armor
maker, who turns out an invulnerable
plate only to spur on the ordnance ex-
perts to throw a projectile capable of
penetrating it. The better the pavement
the heavier the load 1t must bear; the
heavier the load the more substantial the
pavement must be made. Prompt repair
is essential to the upkeep OF any surface.
but the most careful patching will not
enable the pavement Of 1890 to meet the
requirements OF 1917.
The Liverpool system is highly recon-
mended as an intelligent application of
well tried principles to existing condt-
tons which has produced good results in
operation. May 1t live up to its reputa-
ton when it is adopted in the wholesale
district of New York.

CONVENTION HALL, BALTIMORE,

day and are spreading out in the demo-

vention has paid much attention to any
of the booms. according to lobby talk.
They are all too much engrossed in the
chief nomination and the platform mat
ter. They say to the vice presidential as

The most persistent boom in Baltimore
belongs to Mayor James Harry Preston.

earshot of Baltimore has the slightest
knowledge of Mr.. Preston, In the words
of an Arkansas delegate, and it seems
that he has enemies at home, also. The
city was circularized by an anti-saloon

A lot of talk is heard about Represents
tive Redfield of New York. the man who
is conducting the Investigations into the
purchasing department OF the District Of
Columbia, as member of the House Dis
trict committee. He Is an expert on tariff
matters. and his speeches on the tariff
board and on tariff In general are pre-
served as classics by many of the demo-
Gratis Of the House Of Representatives.
Some of the New York people here say
that John J. Fitzgerald is getting ready
to make the nominating speech for Red
field as vice presidential nominee. That
means Tammany will support him.
Another man in whom Washington is
interested and who will support Mr.. Red
field Is Representative Ben johnson of
Kentucky, chairman of the House Dis

Redfields tariff views.
