WORKING TO PERFECT
AUTOMOBILE TRUCKS

and Cheaper to
Operate.

Nothing has been left undone by manu-
lecturers to increase the efficiency and
satisfactory operation of motor trucks
and delivery wagons. improvements are
being made III the many new models for
the coming year that will make them
more reliable. more durable cheaper to
operate and maintain and more conven-
lent 10 use. Self-starters that enable the
driver to start the engine without leav-
ing his seat to crank the engine will be
found on many OF the new models Sew
eral of these are Of the electric type, in
which a generator driven by the engine
develops current that is used in the cleo

lights as well aS for starting the engine.

CAN CHOOSE TYPE OF MOTOR.
Speedwell Company Offering Poppet
and Non-POppet Valves.

For several years there has been a
tendency in popular opinion toward auto
mobile motors of other than the prevail
ing poppet valve type. While for some
time foreign makers have offered the
motor car buyer choice Of poppet or non
poppet valve motors, the Speedwell Mo-
tor Car Company will become pioneer
in this country in equipping it's cars
at the customers option with either pop
pet valve or non-poppet valve motor.
After tests which have extended over
period of two years the Speedw ell
company has taken a license under the
Mead patents for the Mead rotary valve
motor.
The new Speedwell car has a standard
chassis that is built to accommodate
either a six-cylinder ,poppet valve motor
or a six-cylinder Mead rotary valve mo-
tor. The cars will be alike. except for
the power plant, either type of motor
being furnished at the customers option
and at the same price.
A limited number of Mead motors will
be built this current season. while a
large output of this type is planned for
next year. A large proportion of the
Speedwell production for this season,
covering both types Of motors. have al
ready been sold.

GOTHAM AUTO SHOW
To Have Everything in Readi-
ness for Opening Saturday.
ARMY OF WORKERS BUSY
Decorations Will Be on Lavish
Scale, Regardless of
Expense.
ARMY OF WORKERS BUSY

Tomorrow will see 7G0 men undertake
the work of rebuilding the interior of
Madison Square Garden to accommodate
the thirteenth national automobile show,
which will open in that building and the
Grand Central Palace next Saturday
night. In all, there will be 100 people
employed by the show management in
the garden during the automobile show
period, in preparation and during the
show. This may seem unbelievable to the
average show visitor, who naturally
would wonder what so many men could
do.
A little farther up the line, few hun
bred men are busy getting the Grand
Central Palace into shape for its half Of
the national show, but inasmuch as this
building will not have TO have its in
terror entirely rebuilt, such a large army
of workmen is not necessary.

shows in the Garden. 1t is done in order
to increase the floor space in the build
ing and the galleries extend out into the
amphitheater toward its center anywhere
from twenty to fifty feet. Five thousand
square feet of mirrors in the wall PANEL
ling will convert the building into a
veritable crystal palace. these mirrors
producing an optical illusion which will
make the Garden appear much larger
than it really is. White and gold are
to be the dominant colOrs, although green,
and crimson will be strongly in evidence
The Orders of the big. dome will be
screened by a canopy of J,400 yards of
tire-proofed cloth of fluffy azure blue,
amid which 100 tungsten incandescent
lamps will twinkle. Twenty huge arc
lamps with crystal skirts or shades will
be pendent from the roof. Fifty thousand
feet of wire will be necessary to wire the
building. Workmen will be required to
work night and day to complete the gi-
gantc task. Not only Is there much
rough construction, but several tons of
fireproofed lattice work to cover all this
will be required. There will be an abun-
dance Of foliage strung, and more than
1900 yards of carpeting will be used in
the Garden.
There will be 7O2 exhibitors in the two
buildings for the two weeks. Part I, dur
ing which pleasure cars. accessories and
motor cycles are to be shown, will show
467 exhibits. Part 9, which is to house
have over $50 exhibitors In the Garden
40 makers will display pleasure vehicles

Motor Depreciation.

The method now commonly used Tor
figuring depreciation in motor trucks and
cars charge is to deduct from the first
cost of the machine the cost OF the tires,
cost of the elements of the battery which
are renewed from year to year. and to
take as the annual depreciation charge
remainder divided by the assumed life of
the car For example. if the car COM
plete costs $1,000, including 500 for tires
and $500 for the battery elements, and is
assumed to have a life Of ten years. the
annual depreciation charge IL: $4.OO0-$SOO

When the Motor Stops.

If the motor on cranking will run for a
half minute and then stop, look to the
gasoline feed line. A stoppage in the
pipe will lessen the flow of gasoline so
that the float chamber of the carbureter
fills slower than the motor consumes the
fuel. AS result the motor stops until
the carbureter fills again. The remedy
is obviously to clean out the pipe. An
other cause may be a sticking float in
the carbureter- If the float is stuck in a
high position the flow of gasoline viii
be curtailed or even stopped

Factories Will Exhibit.

Expressions have been received from
number of factories expressing a desire
to exhibit as soon as agencies now under
way have been closed. Many unique
shaped cars will be on exhibition for the
first time here and will give the public
an opportunity to gauge the latest and
best Of the 1913 product.
The KEYNOTE of the show situation
throughout the country has been for lux
ury, refinement and thoroughness never
before attempted The breadth to choose
from fills the want, however critical, and
makes a noticeable interest among the
show public Every factory has bent
it's energies toward the perfection neces-
sary to meet the keen competition evil
dent in this, the banner year in the auto
mobile industry.

Leather Valve Washers.

Much trouble is sometimes occasioned
in tire valves by their becoming clogged
by small pieces of rubber from the wash
err in the screw cap of the valve. This
happens usually when undue force is used
in screwing down the cap. A good rem
edy consists in cutting washers out or
thin leather and placing them in the cap
over the rubber washer. The rubber gives
some spring to the leather, which VIII not
be cut as rubber may be.

Four years ago every electric car
was equippedw pneumatic or solid
tires. Today over half of the electric
cars carry neither of these types.
The great majority now carry
Wot= Cushion Tires.
1t probably won't be long now un-
til a pneumatic-equipped or solid
tire-equipped electric will be an un-
usual sight.
Pneumatic tires lost ont because
they proved too t,raeheronS, too
fyonbifSOms-and too costly.
Solid tires lost ont because they
failed utterly to protect the occu-
pants or the delicate parts of the
car from rough bumps and jolts.

proof. And because they reduced
