Electric Vehicles
To Reduce Greatly
High Living Cost
This is Result Seen Through Use on
Farms-Circumstances Combine
To Cause Tremendous Sales.

NE WYORK, Nov. s.-The advance

advance in the cost of motor car op-
Grafton, the perfection OF electric
vehicle battery equipment and the
improved service offered by power
companies for recharoing have Ss-
suited In a marked increase in the
sale and manufacture OF electric ma
chimes during the past year.
This rapid growth is strikingly re-
fiected in the big electrical show Mt
the Grand Central Palace.
The champions Of the electric Ve-
hicle believe confidently that there rs
no longer any doubt as to the eConO-
my OF electrically driven vehicles
both In commercial and social uses.
On the farm, for example, there are
now 22,667 ,941 horses and 4,357, 4S0
mules in service in this country. The
bulk OF these are in rural and out
lying districts. When the work now
performed by horses and mules Is
done by electricity, it is pointed out
that there will be many more millions
Of bushels OF corn, oats and other
grains left to feed human beings, and
undoubtedly result in the cheapening
Of food for the city consumer.
Many gasoline truck manufacturers
are adding electric cars 10 their out
put. Gradually fire horses are being
replaced by electric fire apparatus.

Vulcan Gear Shift.
Center of Interest
Operation Is Said To Be Extremely
Easy--Any Driver Can Learn
II in an Hour.

The Vulcan electric gear shift is
coming in for a good deal of atten-
ton at the Automobile Show.
The operation of the gear shift is
extremely easy, and the possibilities
Of trouble are eliminated by its sim
pie electrical and mechanical con-
struction. The "selector" switch is
arranged with mechanical lnterlock,
so that one button only may remain
in position at time. These buttons
control the operation OF a set of cleo
tro magnets or .sOlenoids. There is
one solenoid for each speed forward
and reverse To the clutch pedal is
connected a mechanical neutral device
and small mechanical master switch
which completes the ciruit to the bat
terry for energizing the solenoids or
eletro magnets
When the driver has selected the
desired speed through his push but
ton or "selector' switch on the steer
ing wheel, the clutch pedal is pushed
all the way down, fully releasing the
clutch, drawing the gears from their
previous position to neutral, engaging
the Mechanical master switch, clos
ing the electric circuit to the storage
battery, energizing the solenoid Sc
lected by the push button and draw
ing the gear to position instantly with
a pull Of $50 pounds, far more pow
erful pull than is possible to a driver
throwing the gears by hand.
The clutch is then engaged in the
ordinary manner by the pedal
When another speed Is desired, the
shift is made instantly and the clutch
Is engaged as In customary prac-

Venezuelan Tells
Of Home Country
Visitor at Automobile Show Says
Planters Use Cars for Pleasure
and Then for Business,

A native Venezuelan at the QUITO
mobile show has been telling his
American friends about some Of the
automobile practices in his country
Venezuela as a bodybuilding ma
ton has a policy in advance of some
Of the older countries. The finances
for this work are derived from a sur
tax Of 30 per cent levied on the GUS
toms receipt at LaGuaire and Puerto
Cabello.
Not only have planters used their
automobiles for pleasure, but soon
after the harvest the cars are used
to pull light wagons filled with coffee
over roads where the heavier truck
could not travel.
Encouraged by the building of good
roads many automobiles have been
shipped into the country, one half Of
which are American cars. The Paige
car is now one of the common sights,
as large coffee planters have adopted
this car for pleasure driving between
their plantations and nearby cities.

The acquisition of this unusual car
places this new agency in the fore

cars bids fair to establish them among
the busiest agencies Of the South.

probably has no two young men more

Southern representative of the Odds

quarters with Messrs. Burns A.

or his time to increasing the saleE

The new agents have been in &
continual rush since the establish
ment of their agency some two weeke

pride to the fact that they have eq-
tablished a record OF almost a sale
