Patent Decision Affects
Nearly All Spark Plugs

the Court of Appeals, and the victory
scored last week was the result.
The patent as upheld by the Court OF
Appeals. applies to a recess behind the
electrodes This recess is necessary 10
keep the region around the electrodes
free from carbon or SCOT of any kind;
without it the electrodes would become
clogged and either no spark or too weak
a spark would result. The recess is based
on an old scientific principle. This is
admitted I'm the decision, but the applica-
ton of that principle TO spark plugs is
decided to be an invention, and so it is
patentable. AS there is no constitutional
point involved, the case cannot be car
ried to the United States Supreme Court.
The inventor of the recess was Frank
w. Garfield, lumber man of Manistee'
Mich, who applied the candle in the
well" principle to a spark plug. He pat
ented II on October IS, 1898. He died in
1899. and the ownership of the patent
was passed through several hands with
out much use being made of it until the
Associated Patents Company got hold OF
il. The association is made up of nfty
large automobile manufacturers in the
country. The association licensed each
member to make use of the Canheld pat
ent and then sold 1t TO Mosler

CADILLAC'S DEWAR TROPHY
Detroit Concern Again Wins in
Great British Trial.

The technical committee of the Royal
Automobile Club of Great Britain has
awarded the Dewar trophy for 1914 TO the
1914 2O-30-horsepower Cadillac car. This
has been given on the certificate issued
in connection with a 1,Ooo-mile Royal Au-
tomoblle Club trial recently undertaken 10
test the special Cadillac features-self-
starting, lighting, ignition. and two-speed
back axle with its electrical change
mechanism.
IT is Of interest to note that this is the
second occasion the Cadillac car has
earned the distinction Of winning this
much-coveted trophy. No other car has
equalled the performance. The first award
was for the now famous Standardization
test in 1903. which still stands as the
greatest test undertaken by any car 10

uring accuracy in Standardization.

GOODYEAR HOUSES TOILERS
Big Tire Company Tries Novel
Plan in Akron.

A flag raising" conducted by the Grand
Army OF the Republic. marked the open
ing OF the Goodyear Home Community at
Akron, Ohio, on November |. BY the de-
velopment of this community the famous
tire company is supplying comfortable
homes to its employees at actual cost,
payments TO be on the basis of rent. No
down payments" are necessary, and the
rent instruments do not begin until the
prospective owner is living in his new
home.
+. A. Seiberlng. president of the Good
year Company, planned the community as
a solution of the serious housing problem
that was created in Akron by the rapid
growth of the rubber industry, and the
consequent demand for large numbers Of
workingmen. 1t was realized that In the
absence OF homes for workmen's families,
comparatively few family men would go
10 Akron for work. and the labor supply
would consequently be migratory and IN
certain.
Workmen with families, many Of whom
desire to become home owners, are often
prevented from realizing their dream be-
cause they have not saved the money
necessary to make initial payments In
buying property.
Mr. Soldering bought 400 acres of .arm
land not far from the Goodyear factory,
which is at the edge of the town. He
caused the streets to be laid out and
graded, sewers, water and gas pipes LAID,
ETC., by the factory's engineering depart

tracts for houses in quantities of one hun
dred, to obtain the best possible prices.
The houses themselves all have indi-
vidualty, and are unlike the usual com
pany allotments. with unvarying styles
and unreleved houses of a sameness OF
type.

AUTOMOBILES IN FRANCE
Paris Leads, but Has Fewer
than 10000 Cars.

Official statistics Of automobile owner
ship in France show that there are 9o.9o9
private motor cars owned in that coun-
try. Paris. naturally, has the majority oil
these vehicles, but the figures are only
15.219. which is a long way behind New
York, with its more than 1900.
In one respect Paris runs far ahead OF
New York, and that is in its interest In
automobiles. on one day of the recent
salon there were more than $4,000 paid
admisslons-probably three times as many
as have ever visited a show in this city.
