ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRING
SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
Marion Models Nyof 1874 Contain
Single Terminal Box Plan
for Automobiles.

zone Of the most unique and conven-
lent features of this seasons care Is the
electric Hight wiring system Of the lsli
Marion models" said Henry Cunning
ham, local agent for the Marion, the
other day. In discussing the new Marion
models. Entirely new, the novel. single
terminal box plan Is attracting wide at
tention among automobile men generally.
BY the ARRANGEMENT, each set Of lamps
on the car has an individual circuit and
every terminal is brought to single
junction box, located on the dash, conf
venient to the driving seat.
should there be evidences OF lighting
difficulty of any kind, 1t is only necessary
to remove the cover of the junction box.
when the circuit break easily can be To-
Gated. A further advantage of this sys-
tenn is that absolutely no wires are at
tsched to the body, making the removal
of the body for any purpose, such as for
interchanging of open and closed types
a simple operation. IL Is only necessary
TO break the connection OF wires at the
junction box, and all wiring from frame
and body Is disconnected. Furthermore,
all lamp circuits are protected by fuses
located in fuse box just above the ter
minal junction.
Every wire on the car is protected
over its whole length by metallic flexible
tubing and clipped to. frame to- prevent
rattIing. BY this means the entire wir-
ing system IS made water, weather, and
leak proof"

FRANKLIN SIX-THIRTY
NOW ON DISPLAY HERE
New Machine Exhibited I'M Window Of
David S. Hendriek Company,
Local Agent.
CAR IS MADE In SIX TYPES

The fall display in all lines can be seen
in the shop windows and has even ex-
tended to automobile row. Particularly
noticeable among the new automobiles
on display is the exhibit in the window
of David 5. ,Hendrick Company, 1924 Con-
pecticut Avenue, where the first new
series ''6S0" Franklin to Arrive in Wash
inSton is being displayed.
While all previous Franklin models
have been distinctive in design this new
car presents a still greater Franklin in
dividuality. The car is rather low with
clean running boards, and the slightly
domed panels of the sloping hood have
added a still richer effect. The neatness
and beauty is carried out even to the
smallest detail, and the engine is finish
ed up with all parts above the engine
deck nickel-plated while the parts below,
except those of aluminium, are black
enameIed.
Particular interest points TO the Frank
lin because it is the only car of its kind
in this country having direct air-cooled
motor.
The Franklin direct-cooled motor uses
Cirocco fan hywheel- This Sirocco fan
hywheel draws out the warm air-in fact,
draws in cool. fresh air over and around
the radiating surfaces of the Franklin
motor and the heat is literally wiped
away. The Sirocco fan method is rec
osnized by its use in factories, &C., for
drawing out the warm air.
This new Franklin typifies the present
age OF specialization. This model is the
only one the company now manufac-
lures having concentrated ali effort on
this one car.
The go is built in six different body
types, q touring. roadster, coupe, sedan,
Limousine and Berlin. All bodies are in
Interchangeable on the one chassis which
constitutes the entire Franklin liue.

ELECTRIC HORNS MARK
ADVANCE in WARNINGS
Overland President Says Many Aeei-
dents Would Be Avoided if Old
Rubber Bulbs We're Discarded.
NEW MACHINES so EQUIPPED

Let them know you are coming and
you will avoid a lot of accidents" Is a
rule posted 'conspicuously in every street
railway car barn in the country. 1t Is
an instruction from the company to the
inotorman. as an aid to preventing ac-
cidents. The same rule should be posted
on the dash of every automobile built, :"
said r, e. Smith. president OF the Over
land Washington Motor Company, the
other day in discussing auto accidents
The street railway companies insist
that their motormen sound the gongs
whenever there is even a possibility that
people arc going to cross the tracks.
They figure that IL person knows car
iS coming the chances for his being
struck are greatly reduced. and the same
thing applies TO the automobile" said
Mr.. Smith.
ut Is for this reason that our 1914 cars
are equipped with an electric horn. 1t is
the best warning signal we could find;
insistent and capable. and still not un-
duly alarming The day Of the air bulb
horn is past. With the great congestion
OF traffic in our cities and even on coun-
try roads, II is no longer safe to depend
on the bulb horn. AT best the warning
1t sounds is weak and unsatisfactory and
scores of accidents could be prevented
If the bulb works properly.
We all know how IL Is to make a sud-
den jab at a rubber bulb. only to be re-
warded with a faint squeak or no sound
at all because we didn't strike it square,
ly. The only motion necessary TO sound
a warning on the Overland is to press
a button. One finger will do the trick
And the resultant noise Is clear, loud
and distinctive. Everyone within its
hearing will instantly know that an auto
mobile is coming and 'forewarned is
forearmed,' as well in preventing motor
car accidents as in anything else"

steam Locomotives Incren.,nx.

From Current Mechanics
The annual report of the Public Serv-
ice Commission for the Second district of
New York shows that the number of
locomotives owned by the railroads
which operate wholly, or in part, in the
State Of New York increased 46 per cent
m the five years from 1907 to 1872
The average tractive effort increased
III per cent. and in 1872 was 5000
pounds. In the same report an analysis
is given of the causes Of engine failures,
and It is shown that hot bearings are
responsible for 125 per cent. low steam
for 15 per cent, steam leaks for 1876 per
cent; miscellaneous. such as loose nuts,
bolts. tires, wheels. burst air hose, &C.,
for the remaining al per cent
The report states that there have been
no boiler explosions within the State in
the i've years during which the commits
sion has supervised this work, notwith-
standing the fact that there are over
5000 locomotives constantly IN use within
the State.

TWO CHASSIS TYPES
TOBE PUT ON MARKET
Announcement Made Of Changes in
the Studebaker Line for
Next Year.
-FOUR" AND "sx" INCLUDED

Formal announcement OF a number of
important changes in the Studebaker line
was made yesterday by c. W. Leng, local
agent for the Studebaker Corporation.
While the alterations are not of a sweep
ing nature, they smbody a number of
extremely interesting features.
The line for next year viii include two
chassis types, a -Four at S1,o5O and a
six at S1,575. Both cars are fitted with
ieft-hand steer and center control Each
model carries a twn-rflit electric start
ing and lighting device as standard equip
ment- The same type of full-hoatinS
axle employed on the six" is supplied
with the -Four"
In both cars the gasoline supply has
been placed in the dash, permitting an
ideal feed to the motor without air pres
sure, by means Of gravitation.
Increased efficiency has been the key
note of the chassis design. To get the
maximum of service out Of each gallon
OF gasoline has been the obvious endeavor
Of the Studebaker engineers.
The motors are of the sInail-bore, long
stroke type OF dimensions. similar to
those OF the remarkably successful
six of the last year. Considerable at
tention has been given to Improved car
buretion.
The Improvement IN the electrical
equipment is marked and. 10 a great ex-
tent, original. The electric motor for
cranking is connected to the front end
of the drive shaft by a roller chain, which
moves only while the starting operation
is in progress. The generator is on the
opposite side of the motor and drives
silently by a shaft connected with the
cam-shaft gear. Storage is in a,six-volt
battery under the front seat. The bat
terry also furnishes current for ignitiop,
timed through a Remy distributor and
raised in tension by coil at the front
of the motor.
In both cars brakes are fitted with
large, silent equalizers, snugly fitted into
slots i'm the frame. Running-boards are
clean and carry no equipment.
The four-cylinder car, in touring car
form. has a generous five-passenger ca
paCity and a wheel base of los inches

to the rescue. all night schools, both
high and graded, must close much earlier
this year than usual
