II was at the automobile SHOW IN New
York last year that Secretary ana Mrs
BRYAN displayed their first interest IN an
automobile. Among the other Dooths
which they visited was the one contain
ing the Carter cars. 1t took only
glance at the working chassis for Sec
rotary Bryan to appreciate that the fric-
ton transmission was the car he was
looking for The fact that 1t had no
gears and was so simple in its working
struck him as being just the thing that
he had been thinking of. a car as SIM
pie as an electric and yet with all or the
possibilities of mileage possessed by any
gasoline car and one that d woman couio
master in few minutes. A demonstra-
ton the next day soon convinced MN
and he Immediately placed an order Tor a
car The car was shipped to Mr.. Bryan
home where Mrs. Bryan soon learned
to drive it. Later Mr.. Bryan ordered
larger car, which soon became faInlllar
on the streets and suburban roads In the
vicinity of their Nebraska home.
Later Mr.. Bryan purchased a coupe
which is duplicate of the one Whlch ne
presented to his son, William Jennings,
ir.. and after his arrival in Washington
he decided that he required a still larger
car. so he placed an order for five
passenger Sedan of the Enclosed type,
which was delivered to him in this city
last week.

THAT the United States govern
ment is vitality interested In
motor vehicles and their worth
in the service of the federal
government is shown by the
fact that in the motor truck reliability
run scheduled for May 5, 6, and off,
Gals of the United States Army will ac-
company the contestants, in addition to
representatives of the general supply
committee of the government, for the ex-
press purpose of watching the efficiency

ditions.
Three ambulances, at present in serv-
ice at the Walter Reed General Hospital,

testants, and will undergo the same test
as the other commercial vehicles in the
run but will not compete for the tro-
phies offered or be recognized in the final
scores at the conclusion OF the contest
The ambulances are each of loo POUNDS
capacity and include White, four

Carburetor for New Fuel.

Although the recent discovery OF new
fuel called motor spirits has created
widespread interest among manufacturers
and owners OF automobiles, it has devel-
oped that a number of machines have
been unable to use the cheaper by-prod-
uct of petroleum and thereby the con-
sumner in many cases has not benefited
by what is a step forward in cutting down
the expense Of running a car. The diff
Guilty has been in the carburetor. and
there has been a general rush on the part
of many of the manufacturers Of carbur-
etors to meet the popular demand. An
absolute reconstruction of the principle of
the carburetor is necessary in quite few
instances but the first announcement OF
the successful use of the motor spirits

For touring the trimming should be
fitted with slip covers, SO that the in
terror can always be made clean and free
from dust. When selecting tho trimming
of closed body it is becoming more
the custom to consider the material and
fitting from sanitary standpoint. Many
bodies are now finished inside entirely
with wood except the seat cushions and
the backs and sides of same. Charming
effects are produced with these wood in
terror decorations and some combina-
tons with wood panels and cloth Dor
