NEW MAGNETIC
PROVES WINNER

Europe and America are watching a
new magnetic which is gaining fame
abroad. The latest success of this mag
neto. which is called the Mea, was made
In race across the hills in Craiganlet,
Ireland, a few weeks ago, when it was
awarded two first prizes. These mag
netos were carried in this race on a
Gregoire and Nom motor car, and
though the test was extraordinary the
magnetos responded to the unusual de-
mands with absolutely perfect scores.
Another triumph for the Mea came
in the Grand Prix de IA. c. H. at tho
races at Dieppe, France, considered the
most important of all foreign motor
car events. This race was won by a
Peugot car fitted with the Mea. The
car winning second prize in this race
also carried Mea. This achievement
is all the more remarkable because OF
the fact that the races in both places
were controlled by competitive pro-
ducts, and the magnetos were all Sc
lected from stock and the awards wers
made on the basis of unmistakable
merit.
The winning cars carried only one
magnetic each. so the entire fortune
of each entry depended on the Mea
magnetic. while all competing makes
carried an extra or reserve magnetic on
each racing ear to guard against fail
ure.
The Mea magnetic has made numer-

PIERCE ARROW
TWO-TON TRUCK

Hollis Bush of the Birmingham Mo-
tor company, agents for the Plerce-Ar-
row, received yesterday details as to
the new truck of two tons capacity
being made by the Pierce company.
In reference to the truck he said:
After an exhaustive period of ex-
perimentation, the Pierce Arrow Motor
Car company is now prepared to in
troduce to it's patrons a two-ton. worm
driven motor truck, the first deliveries
of which will be made in September.
The general design of this new
Pierce-Arrow product is along exact
| ly the same lines as that of the fivq-
ton truck which has proved so sue
cessful. Minor refinements and i'm
provements which the experience OF
the last three years has demonstrated
as necessary or desirable have been
incorporated but there are no radical
changes or departures from present
methods OF either design or manufac-
| ture and this smaller edition of the
large truck is introduced with every
confidence that it will successfully per-
form those duties for which it is de-
| signed.

1914 CADILLAC ESTABLISHES
NEW RECORD

George F. REIN of Omaha recently
broke two records'in driving his 1914
Cadillac from Detroit to Omaha Mr..
REIN, who was accompanied by four
friends, covered the Oil miles between
the Tuller hotel in Detroit and the
Rome hotel of Omaha in total
elapsed time of 81 hours and "a min
utes. The actual running time was
29:12, stops aggregating 2 hours and
AZ minutes having been made. which Is
not much in excess of the time required
to make the run by railroad. By this
performance Mr., REIN beat his own
time of 3s hours, 81 minutes. which
was the record up to the recent per-
formance.
In reality two records were shattered
as the party established new time
for the north transcontinental route
from Chicago to Omaha. driving the
500 miles i'll 10 hours, SO minutes, as
against the previous time of Il hours.
The 1914 Cadillac on its arrival at
Omaha was simply washed and put into
demonstrating service. The start was
made without preliminary tuning up.

CALIFORNIA GIVES
GOOD ROADS LESSON

The ambition of California which Is
given in statement issued by the
might we'll be encouraged fer this
state. The era of good roads is here
and the interest and work that is be-
ing done in that connection is of wide
spread Importance. The work on good
roads has progressed better In the
west and faster than elsewhere ex-
cepting the east. The statement re-
ferred to follows:
California wants and is going to
have two trunk roads, north and south,
and its we'll defined plan presents an
object lesson to other states of great
distances and emphasizes the fact that
the through road is modern neces-
sity in a general system.
'"The recent report of the advisory
board of the California highway COM
mission makes clear the difference in
the conditions on the Pacific coast and
those of the eastern and central por-
tions of the country" comments p. ].
Walker to San Francisco. president of
the California State Automobile asso-
citation.
"The California law requires roads to
be built the length of the state alonS
the most direct and practicable routes;
one along the coast and another trav-
ersing the Sacramento and San joaquin
valleys with lateral roads to such
county seats as may not be on the main
lines. For constructing these roads
100000 was voted two years ago
The automoblists naturally worked fol
this legislation and it Is worth not
ing that California has more motor
cars than France. in excess of $4,000
TN the eastern and central states
not only are conditions different but
the topography of the country Is less
severe and lends itself more readily
to the building of roads that VIII best
serve the interests of the people. The
great bulk of travel on the through
roads of the east is not from one ter
minal to the other, but between tbs
| important cities along the route, and
between them and either terminal. Con.
! sequently 1t is more expedients to builo
main roads so as to reach all the inl-
portant points along or near the route

of the directness and adding some mile

THAT the comparatively few people
who travel the whole length of a road
should go a few additional miles rath
er than compel a large number oil
short distance travellers to go addi-
tional distances. is self evident. For ev-
cry 10 persons who travel across d
from one point to another within the
fence to the great majority route

TOURISTS PROFIT

That tourists who properly prepare
against tire troubles can overcome de.

trips is the opinion of Frank II. Gaf.
ford, Jr., of the Goodyear Tire com.
pany here.
He said yesterday:
"One-half the enjoyment OF touring
is immunity from tire troubles. .Tht
average owner-driver can enjoy this
immunity by exercising care in making
his preparations. Blowouts, punctures
and other tire troubles are ho1d-ups
that he looks forward to with no de-
gree of enjoyment whereas a little
preparation in the way of accessories
for temporary repairs obviatcs unnec-
essary delay.

that his castings and tubes are in good
condition and that he has an extra
supply of both. Then with good ali

tire repair devices, he can go on his
way confident that he has taken ev.

HAYNES MAKES
REMARKABLE RECORD

Walter w. Robertson of the Haynes
company gave out a statement yester-
day in reference to the Haynes which
made recent very flatterinS record
in test conducted by two experts,
The statement follows

expert working under the close super
vision of Elwood Haynes. the first
gasoline automobile engineer in the in
dustry, whose experience in automobile
building covers 20 years. Before leay-

manager, A. g. Seiberling. gave these
test experts definite instructions.
"'What ] want he said, is a de-
tailed report of every test you make,
whether it covers ordinary or extraor-
