AVIATOR FLIES
FROM KEY WEST
To HAVANA
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Havana, May 17.-Aviator Domin-
go Rosillo arrived here in an aero
plane from Key West at $40 this
moWing, having left the American
city at 5:35. The Cuban government
had offered prize of $4,000 to the
aviator accomplishing this flight and
sent cruiser and two gunboats to
patrol the course.
The flight of 80 miles was made
in 2 hours and 25 minutes. The an
nouncement of his start from Key
West was made by the discharge of
three shots from the Cabana fort
ress, and when he came into view he
was hailed with the acclamations of
virtually the whole population. He
approached the city FLYING at an alti-
tude of about 1000 feet. landing at
Camp Columbia. He experienced no
difficulty in the flight.

Key West, Fla, May 17.-Augus-
tine Parla, another Cuban aviator,
attempted the same flight shortly af-
ter Rosillo started but was forced
by high winds 10 turn back.
Before Rosillo's departure, Parla
sent delegation to him to ask that
the flight be postponed. Rosillo re-
piled that he would fly, anyway
When Parla was informed of this, he
put a revolver against his head in an
attempt at suicide. When friends in
terfered with the suicide, he decided
to attempt the flight; but was forced
to return after two wirets OF his ma
chine had snapped from the strain
caused by the wind.

Cincinnati. o., May 17.-Attempts
on the part of the Cincinnati Trac-
tion Company to extend its car SER
vice today resulted in a number of
clashes.
When cars were started from the
Brighton barns, large crowds sur
rounded them, pulled the crews from
the cars and hurled every kind of
missile at the cars
One of the strike breakers is be-
lieved to be seriously injured.
At Fourth and Vine streets men
employed in the construction of the
Central Union Life Insurance Com
pany building threw heavy missiles
from the upper stories into a passing
Elberon Avenue car, wrecking the
rcof and injuring several passing. pc
destrians.
In Madisonville, where cars were
operated for the first time today. one
was attacked and its crew driven in
tc nearby woods. The assailants
took their time in dismantling and
wrecking the car.
Today the police did not ride on
the cars, but were stationed along all
routes at intervals of so feet.
At noon the traction company sus-
pended its attempt to operate cars,
and all that were running in the
morning were called back into the
barns.

the increasing use of silent chains for

an important part During the past year

material reduction in the number OF
''fours.' contrary to expectation, and 1t
does not appear that a serious reduction
is imminent. A number of manufacturers
have been building SiX-cylinder motors
for years, in addition to four-cylinder
motors. In some cases they have aban-
doned the four-cylinder type entirely, and
are deyoting their entire attention to the
output of six cylinders. On the other
hand there will be found number of
new skies on the market for the first
time produced by manufacturers who up
to this time have been building four
cylinder motors. There are still the more
conservative builders who have stuck to
the four-cylinder type. and did not enter
the larger field at all. To offset this,
many of them have increased the bore
and stroke of their motors. thus affording
more power for speed and hill climbing.
Wire Wheel Feature.
The wire wheel feature is on the in
crease this year more noticeable than
ever. In fact the wire wheel movement
has taken hold in real earnest The
wheel is here to stay. Last year but few
manufacturers took up this idea, but the
year 1913 finds several manufacturers
who have adopted this type of wheel
Next year will find still more of them
equipping their products with wire
wheels. This is one of the important
trends in design this year. Wire wheels
have been common in Europe for several
years past, but 1t is only within the last
year that they have been seriously con-
sidered by the American manufacturer.
Some of the manufacturers want to con-
tinue with the demountable rim, but the
advocates of the wire wheel argue that
the use of the demountable rim will rob
the wheel of one of it's leading merits.
namely, the light peripheral weight with
the consequent increase of fleXibility in
the car. There are few, IL any. excep-
tons taken to the wire wheel, because Of
the difference in appearance when COM
pared with the wood type. The general
publicity of the wire wheel has reached
nearly every city in the country and
has paved the way for general accept
ance of it when the time comes that
supply will equal demand and prices will
be finally adjusted. The merit of the
wire wheel in conducting heat out Of the
tire, and so increasing it's life, is com
mented upon very generally. 1t might be
interesting to note that for some time
past several of the largest automobile
manufacturers have had searchers en-
gagged in the nearby states of Maryland
and Virginia, purchasing all the hickory
possible to be used in the construction of
automobile wheels.
Another new type of gasoline motor
will be shown at the Washington exhibit

Several engine construction changes at
tempt dirtproof construction. Not only
are valves and valve parts inclosed, but
in a great many cases ignition apparatus
is more fully protected. Simplifying con-
struction and increasing accessibility,
quite a number of manufacturers have
altered their magnetic position SO that the
instrument may be driven by a worm
gear from a transvise shaft at the front.
Naturally reciprocating parts have been
lightened perceptibly and notable advances
have been made in balancing methods
Another important feature is the eX-
tent to which lubricating systems have
been perfected. Practically without ex-

Straight Body Lines.

ton has been paid to obtaining more
harmonious blending of lines at the hood
and at the back of the tonneau. In this
respect the general casting out of OUT
side door handles that is apparent has
played an important part in enhancing
appearance. Similarly the almost general
use or nickel-plated trimmings instead OF
the universal brass Of a couple of wears
ago cannot escape remark. Also the

which makers We're not slow to adopt
A great many manufacturers have
either adopted the left-hand drive with
center control in bringing out their new
methods or have altered older models
though not 30 per cent OF the number OF
makes of car produced are driven from
the left side However, the probability of
its more widespread use in the i'm
mediate future seems assured.
Another noticeable feature of the newer
cars is the tendency toward the adoption

half dozen or more cars which will ap-

pears for the first time on several cars
that heretofore have had their fuel tanks

new cars that have been brought out the
cowl position appears the preferred.

Clean Running Boards.

One OF the more than ordinarily sig
| nificant trends that will be very much in
evidence is the clean sweep that has been
| made of running boards At the last
show the tendency to relegate tool boxes
and battery boxes and other kinds of
boxes to places less conspicuous was
ers still used their running boards as
convenience for carrying CONTINENT
However. in 1913 not only have tool boxes
ana battery boxes been removed from the
running boards. but there is we'll de-
fined tendency as well to locate snare
tires at the rear of the tonneau In this
respect it is noteworthy that the CARRYING
OF tires at the back of the car serves in
great many cases to afford a measure
OF protection to otherwise unprotected
gasoline tanks. which In many cases have
slid backward from under the seat to a
place adjacent to the rear axle, with a.
consequent adoption of pressure feed.
Much attention has been given Tenders
from mere accessories, designed solely
!or the purpose of preventing the splash
ing OF mud and water, they have become
veritable things of beauty, with lines that
mt and blend well with the lines of the
car. Also, they are very much more
substantial than they have been in the
past, and therefore exhibit less tendency
TO pend or rattle on slight proVocation
Another tendency is the general deep
ening OF cushions and upholstery that has
been made. Both ten and twelve inch
CUSHIONS now are common. and several
manufacturers have adopted cushions of
no less than fourteen inches in thickness
Eliminating Waste Space.
: The practice of making of the cowl
sort of auxiliary dashboard, mounting all
the equipment that formerly occupied the
shadow of the cowl on the real dash, is
noticed. 1t is one of the tendencies to-
ward the elimination of waste space
which operates to increase the comfort
of the motorist. More than a dozen cars
now have their speedOmeters and
switches, their carburetOr adjustment and
their Oil gauges, etc. on a cowl dashboard,
thus bringing them nearer the driver
where they are more easily visible and
can be reached more readily Cows are
err protection to the occupants of the
front seats. In connection with the cowl
dashbOards it is proper to note that the
ignition coils. which heretofore were
prominent, now almost without exception
are placed behind the dash, with nothing
showing but neat switch, which serves
to beautify.
Among motors the long stroke holds
it's own, and there is marked tendency
and accessibility impaired by the method
of casting the cylinders in single block
AS a rule strokes are not getting any
longer nor are bores getting any smaller,
the ratio remaining about the same. The
feature Is. however, that a greater num-

signed for feminine use the materials
are wonderfully tine-brDcanes OF heavy

contrast with the seat material if it be

Lighting Has Developed.
The lighting has developed a step fur
ther The dome light. back light and
side lights for 1913 are more powerful,
owing to the great amount of avallapie
current. Many Of the big cars generate
their own current. and those which nave
no generators draw their current from
cells or storage batteries. Frosted
globes are used extensively to shield and
modify the dome lights, and by an IN
genious system of switches either or the
interior lights may be cut of at Will.
Electric lighting has made nearly
clean sweep of the field during the past
year. and today 1t is only a question of
adaptation of the desired generator to
the motor and installing the lamp equip
ment In this respect there are few
novelties along the line of coupling the
headlights and flashlights in one. Makers
OF pressed steel metal bodies with the
oowl dash are Incorporating miniature
hooded portions for the lights. With the
rapid development or electric lighting
systems there has also come "a wide
production of lamps Of special design.
adapted to automobile use.
They are designed to be dust and water
proof and, of course, are operated from
the drivers seat merely by touching a
hutton or electric switch.
Six Cylinders increasing.
Although they are really items of equip
ment. combined electric lighting and en-
CINE starting systems. which from a small
beginning last year have increased by
leaps and bounds. are to be found today
on nearly every car Of Importance. In
addition to the electric starter will be
found the compressed air, acetylene,
gasoline or other volatile liquid and
spring starters. The compressed air
starter type appears as an integral part
Of a car. Later came the spring starter
and then that depending upon the eX-
plosion of acetylene gas in the cylinders
to start the motor. This year it is the
electric seH-starter and electric lighting
systems that are proving features every
where.
The year 1918 will also find an increase
in the field of six-cylinder motor cars.
