meeting with some criticism from peo-

personal liberty is being infringed
upon when notified to clean up, their

read with profit by many of our peo-

not providing proper receptacle for

English authorities on automobile con-

In lengthy articles its manifold advant-

Is significant PARAGRAPH from the
Motor, an authoritative London publica-
ton:
We have always held the Cadillac IN
the highest esteem, and admired 1t as a
criterional example OF high-grade Ameri-
can construction. 1t is obvious that no
single gear ratio can possibly be right

a top-speed direct-drive Is obviously OF
extra advantage II It is duplicated For

1000 revolutions a minute, certain

Move the electric switch and bring the
top direct-drive into operation, and an
increase of q per cent in speed Is at
once obtained. Inversely, one can main

SAFETY AND SANITY
MARK AUTO BUILDING
Season Of 1914 viii Be Noteworthy
in This Respect, Il Is
Declared.

The season of 1914 more emphaticaliy
than ever before will be noteworthy as
the year for safety and sanity in motor
car building. OF all the automobile fac
tories in the United States. and Official
figures give something over 200 companies
engaged in this work, II is safe to say
that there are not a dozen freak features.
This means, OF course. in the regular
automobile field.
In the medium-priced car field, especial
ly. sensible methods are in vogue. The
medium-priced car OF today is the best
most powerful, reliable and beautiful
creation of its class ever evolved.
1t is a standard. staple article. built
to last years and to give unvarying sat-
isfaction service throughout its life. Its
stability is shown in the fact that prac-
tically every dealer Is required to carry
large stock of parts, 50 that ten years
from now the man who owns a medium
priced car of the 1914 model will md IL
as easy to procure separate parts and re-
placements as he does today.
In all cars Of this class these qualities
OF safety and sanity ere especially note-
worthy. There is absolutely nothing
lacking In their design or construction.

EXAMINATION FOR
AUTO DRIVERS URGED

'Ninety-five per cent of the troubles
OF an automobile today are due. not TO
the construction of the automobile. but
to the ignorance or abuse of the man.
woman. boy or girl using it," says a
well-known dealer.
II have been asked what, in my opin-
ion, would be of the greatest benefit TO
motorists in general, and / am frank TO
state that l think every person, whether
professional or otherwise, driving an
automobile should stand an examination
for his ability TO handle his car. and
as to his knowledge regarding It.
Il am satisfied that a license bureau
for drivers should be established and
that they should pass an examination
and regular licenses be issued to them
before they are allowed to handle an
automobile on our city streets or on our
country highways. A nominal charge
should be made for this license. and II
the privilege accorded Is abused in any
way this license should be taken away
from them
This would really not work a hard
ship. and probably would be the means
OF saving a great many lives and pro-
longing the career of an automobile.
In the end this would improve the in
dustry as a whole considerably. I will
admit there are many requirements for
automobiles and their owners today
which are more or less annoying. But
law is law, and it's provisions should be
familiar to every driver.
II remember in the early stages of the
game, which. by the way. is not SO very
long ago. that If you desired to drive
an automobile In one of San Francisco's
parks it was necessary for you to take

AUTO DRIVING SEASON
IS Thing OF THE PAST

Says Mercer Company Rep
resentative.
GIVES ADVICE In CARE OF CAR

with the present day development of
question of driving seasons for the mo-
florists to ponder over" says W. A.
Smith, advertising manager of the Mer-
Ger Automobile Company, Trenton, n. ].
Several years ago the average automo-
bile owner would look for safety of a
garage for his car over the winter
months, Just as soon as the first snow
began to fly. Now. however. it is the
exception rather than the rule for a car
to put in dead storage at any time of
the year and thousands of motorists in
this country take particular delight in
touring over roads during the fall and
winter months. There is a strange fas-
cination to winter driving in the suburbs
than holds number Of car owners in
its spell
with the increased use of cars during
the winter there has developed a ten
dency on the part Of a number of owners
to neglect the care of certain parts of
their cars. One of the most frequent
difficulties encountered by the winter
motorist is brought about by neglecting
to take care OF the fabrication and cool
ing systems of his car. It is not unusual
to see the car standing unattended and
with its radiator entirely exposed to the
cold winter DlaStS. II a car Is lett IN
this state for u lengthy period its driver
is certain to have trouble in starting the
motor, and occasionally a too lengthy
period of exposure developes serious and
expensive damage. The safest way to
avoid trouble of this nature is to use an
mixture in the radiator
Perhaps the most simple and most effec-I
tive preventative Of freezing is two to
one solution of alcohol and water. By
filling the radiator with such a mixture
the motor will be --se from freezing on
even the coolest days. A lighter grade
Of cylinder oil might be used to good eff
feet during the winter An owner is apt
to neglect to Intricate the small parts
Of his car during this time of the year,
instead of paying the same attention in
this direction as he would IN the summer. !
'Anothr remedy, and very effective, is |
TO equip your car with a dash-prfming
device. Just before attempting to start
the car inject considerable gasoline into |
the cylinder and thereby increase the |
possibilities of the mixture firing quickly. |
These are but few suggestions for the |
winter motorist but If they are followed |
much Of the annoyances so often en-
,ountered win be eliminated"

GREAT PROGRESS MADE
IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Wonderful Strides Noted in Last Fiji
7 teen Years in that Class
Of Automobiles.
ALMOST ELIMINATE DRAWBACKS

When you were a boy you read the
Arabian Nights, and when you read about
the Persian Wishing Carpet of Bagdad
how strongly you wished you had one.
II you are now a man or woman over
forty years, you at that time never ex-
pected to see anything like II, and yet to-
day. within the limits Of a city you see
them every day, but fail to recognize
them.
Wonderful inventions are now so nu-
merous and we take our benefits and con-
veniences so much as a matter Of course.
We are taken so much into the confidence
of inventors and developers. that in con-
sequence the wonderful things come to
US SO gradually that we almost fail to
see them when they come, and when they
do come We take them as a matter of
course.
Perhaps there is no more conspicuous
example Of this than the electric coupe.
Twenty years ago 1t was unknown; If
teen years ago the storage battery, al
though in principle over seventy-five
years old, was an extremely delicate con-
trivance from which an electric passenger
vehicle could be driven not to exceed
twenty-five miles except by special ar
rangement. At the same time IL required
the most expert care and attention.
In the intervening period the question Of
adequate mileage for such vehicles has
been disposed OF and forgotten. Today to
be concerned with the question OF mileage
IN an electric passenger vehicle is prima
facie evidence OF ignorance, and as for
the care of the storage battery, they have
become what they really ought to be-
conveniences instead of cares for the
owner. Today the storage battery re-
quires less systematic, uniform, or Pc
riodical care than any other form of mo.
tive power, animal or mechanical
In short, the ever-present drawbacks
are almost eliminated in the electric
coupe, which conveys US from place to
place at will, without prearrangement,
almost without manipulation, and GER
tainly without effort or exertion, and at
the same time In doing SO protects us
against the weather as though we were
seated in comfortable little room in our
own house.
And yet we take this as a matter of
course. We even take as matter of
course the fact that an electric coupe
such as the Standard Electric can now be
purchased at price within the range of
prices of a relatively inexpensive closed
gas automobile.
Have we lost our sense of appreciation?
Is the whole nation ablaze? Is there no
way Of startling US?

Wide VARIETY
At AUTO SHOW
Remarkable Development in
Motor Cars viii Be Noted
This Year.
MANY ASK FOR SPACE
Exhibition to Be Held January IS to
"a Will Be Reeord-breaker,
II Is Said.

Prospective buyers and owners will find
wide variety to select from at the
coming automobile show, to be given
under the auspices OF the Washington
Automobile Dealers Association, Janu-
airy IS to "a, in Convention Hall, this be-
ing due to the great development of the
motor car within the last year.
Complete equipment has become the
rule since the last show, rather than the
exception, and few cars will be found
that are not equipped in the most up-to.
date manner. One Of the things that will
appeal to purchaser and the agent is the
self-starter. Another Is the electrical
equipment. Nearly every car on the
market this year will be found to be
equipped with some style Of self-starter.
while either full electrical equipment or
combination oil and electric lights will
be found in the'remaining cars. Without
a doubt the feature OF the year has been
the adoption by the manufacturers OF
the electric starter.
Stream Line Effect.
The stream line effect Of car bodies will
be another noticeable feature at the
show. There are several lines that will
he exhibited Tor the first time with this
feature. Last year a few cars adopted
this style, but the great increase this year
will be noticeable. Not only will the
large touring cars have this style of body,
but even the smallest roadster will have
the stream line effect
According to reports there will be moro
representatives here this year from the
manufacturing concerns than ever be-
fore. This is due to the fact that manu.
facturers now realize. more than ever
before, that there is a great opening in
this section Of the country for the de-
veicpment Of the motor car business.
Numerous applications for space are be-
ing received daily by the directors OF the
show
1t is claimed that this years show will
be record breaker and this is probably
due to the fact that the show committee
intends TO make automobile history when
the time arrives next month. This years
exhibition will be more pretentious, more
deliberately arranged and more represen-
tative Of modern standards in motor
vehicles and equipment than any pre-
vious show.

TORETURN FOURS
Now Is the Time to Get Six
cylinder Cars, Says How
ard Kneessi.
GASOLINE COST Is LESS
Saving Also in Tires-Pices for Hud-
son Skies from $1,750
to $500.
GASOLINE COST Is LESS

Thousands of men have lost money by
holding on to things too long. This Is
particularly true in real estate and il IL
also true of the motor car.
According to Howard Kneessi. local
distributor of the Hudson Six, the de-
probation cost on an autombile is by far
I! largest item of expense. True. there
are many owners to whom the question
is not of great Importance. A few hun
dred dollars, more or less, a year Is to
some Of little moment. But the use of
the motor car is spreading SO rapidly
that 1t is becoming almost the universal
vehicle of transportation for both pas
sengers and freight. And to buyers of
moderate-priced cars every item of cost
is to be considered.
Mr.. Kneessi reminds owners of four
cylinder cars of the rapid development OF
the latest motor car improvement-the
six-cylinder engine-and says that owners
Of fours Of 1872 and earlier should seri-
ously consider turning in their cars now
and getting skies. Only by so doing
can they realize their highest trading
value.
Naturally, it would be unwise, says
Mr. Kneessi, for the owner of an old
four to buy another four. The only car
TO buy when a man wants a 40-horse-
power car is a six. And he can get a
six with all the late improvements, and
that viii actually cost him less for gaso-
line and tires than will a four, at a
price that is lower than is asked for
many of the tours.
Prices of Hudson Skies range from
a,750 to $500. Roadsters, cabriolets,
phaetons and closed cars are made on
two standard chassis. The 81 model is
1S5-inch wheel-base, with motor develop
ing close to 60-horsepower. The 20 is
WhPAl-haS
ducing 47-horsepower. This Light Six
is proving a phenomenal car. 1t seems
exactly to meet the ideas of a vast num-
Der of motorists. Mr.. Kneessi says he
has an outlet for some 1872 Hudson SIS
and other cars of this type and would
like to talk with owners. His views on
the motor car situation are interesting.
