In placing its new 1914 models be-
fore the public the F. h Stearns com
pany, Of Cleveland. lifts the curtain
on number Of new improve ments
and announces its championship OF
many changes gradually affecting the
entire industry.
Notable among these are the adop-
ton of the left-h hand drive with CEN
ter control. optional wire wheels.
steering column control and the tap
erinE hood and cowl. The changes
F, include both the four and the six
cylinder models. whether touring cars.
runabouts or closed bodies.
one Of the most noticeable mechan-
ical advances is the steering column
control. Instead Of the customary
clumsy arrangement, the principle Of
centralizing the control under the OBJ
orators hand has been carried out by
a system Of small rods. operating In
the casing surrounding the steering
column proper. These rods are OPP
Grated h. small levers located just un-
der the steering wheel. while the
lights are controlled by the custom
airy pull -andpush buttons also car
ried just under the wheels. The
switch, carhuretor adjustment light
and klaxon horn controls all center

ployed TO operate them. The. self
starter is operated in the usual way
by foot pedal
Many Varieties Offered.
The new Stearns models offer the
largest variety OF any seasons output.
Four i've, six and seven passenger
touring car bodies are mounted on
either the four or six-cylinder chassis,
while the same applies to the new
three passenger roadsters iimousines.
and landaulets. In addition, the
Cleveland factory announces two new
models. coupe and Sedan. to be
built on either the four or siX-cNlin-
der chassis Taking into considera-
tion the fact that altogether the
Stearns factory is building four chas-
sis types--two wheel base lengths in
both the four and six-cylinder mod
eis---it is quickly seen that the new
Stearns line is most complete In every
detail.
There has been practically no note
worthy change in the motor in either
the four or siX-cyiinder models The
motor sizes remain the same as last
season. namely. IL by IL, in the
four cylinder product and IA by
& "a In the~six. In The. ssax-cyltnder
the chassis remains practically the
same .as East year, so far as basic Ideas
are concerned, but in the four -cyin
der type the transmission has been
moved forward from the rear axle to
amidships. This change in no way
affects tha well known rear axle con-
struction which has been a feature
of the Stearns product for great
many years, and which is admitted
to be about the strongest construction

The Minorca is fowl OF large pro-
portions in every way. To start with,
they stand rather high from the ground
upon strong, heavy shanks and thighs.
The neck is rather long, full and well
spread, carried at an angle of about
so degrees from the horizontal. with
somewhat of an angle at juncture of
back and tail
The breast and body are long, with
what is termed a long keel The
breast is carried rather high. the rear

of the fowl surmounted by q large
coarse comb and heavy wattles, makes
one Of the most powerful looking fowls
We have.
They are not only noted for produce
ing the largest eggs. but so many of
them that but few fowls can equal
them. OF course where size cuts no
figure in the game, they are no better
in that way than those laying the
smaller Eggs, but for home consump-
