COST OF PRODUCING
MOTOR CAR DECREASES
Expense Considerably Less Than 1t
Was a Year or Two Ago, Says
H. H. Hills.

a motor car OF the highest type can
be produced for considerably less than
was possible two years ago, or even one
year ago." says H. II. Hills, sales man.
ager OF the Packard Motor Car Company.
After years Of patient investigation,
designing. testing, and proving out six
cylinder cars, We have developed a type
which promises to remain substantially
unchanged for several years. With the
greatest burden of development work be-
hind us, with better manufacturing facili-
ties, and more complete standardization
Of parts. in conjunction with increased
output, We are now able to produce 4
six-cylinder t3S Mt a lower cost than il
was possible to make our famous four
cylinder 30
The latest model '3S is a more able
car than the 80 as well as being
smoother and having eren better riding
qualities. The design is more extensive.
the quality of the material is better, and
there are many added refinements pro-
noting comfort and convenience.
Improved facilities will not enable US
to dispense with any part Of our execu-
tive, superintending. or inspecting force.
but enlarged output will enable US to
divide the expense per car. and the pub
lie this year will get the benefit OF this
saving to a material extent"

CAPT. MILLER NVENFS
SUBSTITUTE FOR AIR.
Auto Owners Who Have Tried Tire
Core Are Greatly Pleased with
the Results.
MADE SPRING RUBBER

a new substitute for air in automobiles
that is attracting a great deal of at
tention throughout the country is the
invention of a Washingtonian. Capt ].
NJ. Miller, the inventor, claims for his
inner tire core all the qualities Of air.
The new tire core is entirely unlike
anything that has been placed on the
market 1t is constructed of resilient
spring rubber. nodded to conform to the
interior of, and fits snugly within, any
outer tire casing. \ number of auto
owners who have tried the new core are
enthusiastic over it. They declare that
their car rides just as easy as when the
tires are inflated with air and that they
do not have to worry about punctures.
The new Miller core has many ad-
vantages over air. The core lasts in
definitely and is interchangeable, and
Just as resilient as air. II does away
with all tire troubles, punctures or blow
outs. Perhaps the greatest advantage
over air claimed for the core is the
increased tire mileage II affords the auto
owner. 4 casing, even after the tread
has been worn away and the inner
wrappings exposed, need not be dis
carded II the new core is used. Another
great advantage claimed for it is the
reduction in tire expense. The core is
made to sell for q dollar n pound and
as IL will last a lifetime and can be
changed to new castings at any time
there is no expense after the initial out
lay.
Capt. Miller recently has returned from
Akron, Ohio, where he contracted for
the manufacture of his new invention.
He is ready now to place the core on
sale and already has a large number of
orders from local autoists.

TESTS ON STARTING IN
COLD WEATHER MADE
Much information Gained from Ex.
periments with Ordinary Grade !
Of Gasoline.
WILL BE HELP TO MOTORISTS

Motorists living in the Northern and
Central States are looking forward with
anxiety to the advent OF cold weather
and its effect on the manner in which
the present grades Of gasoline will vapor-
lie when the crank Is applied to a cold
motor. 49," y -
), Some up-to-date information on cold
weather starting has been developed dur
In the summer, by experiments made
In cold storage. under auspices of the
Studebaker engineers. There experiments
were based on the ordinary commercial
grade OF gasoline and, while some al
lowance must necessarily be made for the
dead air incident to refrigeration. the
tests will, it is believed. come close to
the actual conditions which will prevail
this winter.
1t was ascertained that the lowest tenn
perature at which gasoline would vapor-
ize from a piece of waste, soaked in the
fluid and dropped on the floor. was five
degrees above zero. At this temperature
the Studebaker Six used in the tests
started handiIy on the first turn of the
electric cranking system. Below this
temperature, however, the gasoline In
the carburetor refused to vaporize. Nat
urally, no explosion could be secured
from the motor.
For the advantage of the motorist who
occasionally finds himself in a tempera-
ture around zero. several tests were
made, the gasoline readily responding to
any external application of warmth. The
most effective, as well as the most simple,
plan was to place a rag. soaked in hot
water, over the intake. The car had been
left overnight in the cold storage apart
ment, with the temperature at twelve be-
low zero. In the morning the rag was
aDDlied and the motor started prOmptiy
on the first turn of the electric cranking
apparatus.
This test also calls attention to the fact
that by improved carburetion, supple
mented by the electric starting system.
engineers have fully kept pace with the
steadily lowering grades OF gasoline gen.
orally on sale. The motorist Of former
times. even with his advantage OF high
test gasoline. found winter starting more
or less trouble. On the other hand, the
modern improvements have reduced cold
weather starting to absolute simplicity,
despite the vastly lower vaporizing point
of the fuel

John n. WHY'S Says Animals Easily

substituting Autos.

More than $1,000 trucks, each of
which can. be guaranteed to do twice as
much work as "a horse, and at one-half

inefficiency of present-day merchandise

that half OF the 100000 horses and
mules in the United States today could
be dispensed with by gthe use OF motor
trucks. Each OF these P,5Ooo00 animals

AUTO INDIVIDUALITY
IS BEING DEMANDED
Distinc6veness of Designs in Cars Now
Being Sought After by Motorists,
Says Distributor.

AT a gathering of enthusiastic motor
lists the other evening T. Lamar Jack
son, distributor of Stevens-Duryea mo-
tor cars in Washington, made mention
that in a number of instances dis
tinctiveness OF design influenced the
closing Of a sale fully as much as the
price OF the car.
He continued that absolute individu-
ality or exclusiveness in anything,
whether it be a jewel, tapestry, painting,
or an article OF clothing, or an auto
mobile, Is the rarest of features. The
creation of a distinctive character in
any article requires SO great an expen-
diture of brains, time, and money that
most of us are content to follow the
lines of least resistance and become
mere imitators.
Setting a distinctive style in motor
car mechanism and in contour Of body
lines demands SO much patience and its
cost is SO high that pronounced SINH
larity of. mechanism and in exterior ap-
pearance is by far the easiest way to
insure large productions. -
SO much craved is .exclusiveness IN
lines of yachts, for example, the wealthy.
people pay princely prices to Herreshoff
to design yachts that will bear such
indefinable earmarks Of character that
the creation VIII stand out alongside Of
a dszen or twenty mere fine yachts with.
an unmistakable distinction. Some
wealthy people care little for the price
II the price OF the article carries with
it that eclat Of character and uncom-
monness which appeals to refined sensi-
bilities.
The evolution Of the fine motor car
is not the happening OF a day nor an
hour, but carries with it a history
fraught with infinite study, experiment
tation, and constant elimination Of the
unfit. 1t takes the courage Of ones
to follow an entirely new
school and to see those ideas
so thoroughly proven out through twen-
ty-three years Of development that
others pay them the sincerest fiattery
by copying their distinctive features.
