USE OF ~sTE;LLTTE."

At recent meeting of the Engin- eers' Club at Cincinnati EIwood Haynes, pioneer automobile nanufac- turer of Kokomo, Ind, delivered an address on tStellite." His talk on this new composition, on which he has secured, basic patents, was purely technical, but in it, he minutely eN- plains how this uncorroding alloy was discovered and prepared. Many things which steel is not capable of doing, owing to it's susceptibility to changes of temperature when under friction, EIwood Haynes proved to his hearers, could be accomplished with this new alloy. He explained concrete example in his own fac tory. He said that in a particular drilling machine, where one man at this bench could drill with steel drills at the best, twenty-six pieces a day, and on which, after every item of cost had been deducted, netted the com pany $1 per day on this mans la bors, now with ''Stellite" tools could drill sixty to seventy pieces and not increase the overhead expense a pen ny Thus in the place of making $1 profit on that mans labors, by using 'Stellfte' we ahave been able to in crease the profit his work just s6 a day because it originally cost $6 all No extra expense is now added, but it has more than doub1y increased the output.

road riding that we have just finished was what is generally considered a rather hard test, I enjoyed the whole trip and am surely going to ride in the next road contest the club holds. My husband rather doubted at first wh hetter I could keep up with the oth- CT riders on the bad roads, but after he had ridden behind me through the muddy stretch near Findlay and over the rough road between Dayton and Springfield, on the second day, he said that he didn't need to worry any longer about my being able to take care of myself.
 Really, though, I don't think there was anything unusual about what did, for motorcycles are made nova days SO that. almost anyone can han dle them easily and so reliable that they hardly ever get out of order. My big twin didn't miss an explosion all the way from start to finish, and 1t plowed right through the mud and rough roads so steadily that had no difficulty at all in winning my gold medal

EXPENDITURES FOR
PUBLIC ROADS.

An interesting comparison between the expenditure on public roads in the United States in 1904 and in 1912, has just been compiled by the De- partment of Agriculture through it's Office of Public Roads, showing the tremendous growth that has taken place in the movement for better highways within the last eight years
 In 1904 the total expenditure on all public roads in the United States was $79,771,417, but in 1912 the expendi lures for this purpose amounted to $164, 4,232,3 365- The expenditure per mile of public roads in the United States for 1904 was $37.07, but the ex- henditure per mile for the year 1912 had doubled, amounting to $T4.65. The expenditure per inhabitant IEA 1904 was $1.O5, but in 1912 it amount ed to $1.78.
 The greatest progress in road build ing has been made in the States which contribute from the State treasuries toward the construction of State-aid or trunk-line roads. In 1904 there were 13 states that contributed out of the general fund $2,6O7, 900, but Tn 1912 there were 35 states which con tribUted $43,757,4 438. The States hay ing the largest expenditures for State aid and trunk-line roads in 1912 were as follows: New York, $23,0oO,o00; Pennsylvania, $4,OOO.OOo; Maryland, $s,570,oo0; Connecticut, $3,o0o,oOo.

THE "GREAr LITTLE CAR"

If the United States actually gets into a fuss with Mexico marines from our battle ships may make a charge on Mexico city from Vera Cruz Tn Ford cars. At least the Ford Times, the factory journal of the great lit tie car'' suggests editorially that If it Is feasible to equip the warships with flying machines it is much more necessary to equip them with motor cars. It says:
 The Ford would serve as an ideal means of transportation for the off cers of the ship while in port.
 It could be used oftimes for ma,k- ing trips inland, to get the ships mail and lighter provisions.
 It could be used for carrying ofh- cers and signa1men from one place to another during land maneuvers.
 It could be used to transport am intuition for landing parties of ma rines.
 It could be used to carry machine suns from one point to another.
 Its lightness and strength make it easy to handle-to embark and dis embark. It can travel through rough country where to take any other car would be out of the question.
 The simple construction of the Ford and it's simplicity of operation would enable it to be driven and kept in proper condition at all times by any member of the ships crew.
 On long voyages, if the room occu- pied by the assembled car should be needed, the car could be easily dis assembled and slowed away to be re- assembled in a few minutes when wanted by members of the crew.

NEW HAYNES. MODEL WITH
 ELECTRIC GEAR SHU

Americas first car equipped with all the latest up to the minute fea- lures has arrived in the city. :.
 The new models are on exhibition at the show rooms of Peck & Lines Co.
 Its good-by hand 1evers,'' said MT. Peck, when asked his opinion of the Vulcan Electric Gear Shift.
 ''No one will ever look at car with a hand gear lever once they find out what it means to have this work done for them by electricity.
 Why, the man who sits down at the wheel of the Haynes has the con tro1 of this big powerful car right un- der his finger tips. It doesn't take a man to drive the car,- either. The frail- est woman can do 1t, or the young boy or girl.
 = Y ou jump in the car, press a but ton, push forward the clutch, and the starting motor begins to wI1ir. To start off on low gear you press but ton marked No 1, push down the clutch and quick a a wink, yet gent ly as the south wind, you're off.
 Every other speed is obtained by the mere pressure of plainly marked buttons. Why, driving this car is just as easy as calling the office boy with your desk buzzer, or ringing the bell for the maid to bring in the next couTse.
 ..'Do I think the Electric Gear Shift is as big an Improvement as tho starter? It's ten times greater to my mind.
 You shift the gears more than ten times as often as you start the car and it's shifting those gears that's keep ing many a nervous woman and wo- man who is not very strong, from en- toying the pleasures of driving.
 ''Another thing, the electric gear shift does away with all that mean noise of c1ashing gears when a, shift is made. How I hate that bur-r-r- it means that perfectly good metal is wearing. off those grinding parts, too.
 ''In the Haynes when you shift the gears there's a musical whir-that's s aII-you see it's an automatic opera tion. It is impossible for the gears to be changed from one ratio to anoth- CT without their being drawn for an instant to neutral. Do you realize what this means? It means that you can't strip the gears in the new Haynes car.
 And here's another thing. You (Continued on Page 13.)

WITHOUT A PEER"

Earl Cooper, without a peer as q road race driver for the season of 1913," is well on the way to recovery from the injuries received in San Jose, California November 24. A cut in the face and two broken bones in his hand are the extent of his hurts and his skill at the wheel will be in no way impaired. One of the most prominent of the motor trade journals in America halls Cooper as the great est of the road racing stars of the season and cites his record of five frsts and one second in six starts as the reason for awarding the IaureIs.

award of the Dewar Trophy to the Cadillac-the second time within five years that this treasured mark of merit has been bestowed on the Cad iHac--it is interesting to note how British automobile authorities regard axle. :.
 This axle was even more of an inno- vation in Great Britain and Europe than in the United States; but it is very evident, from published com ments, that it1has found immense fla vor among those qualified to speak with authority on the subject of mo tor car advancement.s

 When the Cadillac system of com bintng ignition, lighting and engine starting in one electrical system was introduced two years ago, it was very properly. regarded as a bold step; ex- perience has shown it to be as sue cessfuH as it was bold. To-day the Cadillac designers have made another innovation, which, personally, we re- gard as even a greater Improvement than the very important one of two. years ago. As a basis, they have taken the old idea of two pairs of beve1 gears, either pair working aI= ternately and giving the car two diff ferent gear ratios; but the way in which the Cadillac designers have adopted it is new. and the working results are not mercy satisfactory; they are so good that they mark distinct forward step, toward the long sought ideal of direct and noiseless gears on all speeds
 We have had a good bit of eNpeT- fence with high-geared fourth. speeds, the direct drive on5 the third speed and the indirect on the fourth. We found these indirect. fourths pleasant to use, but the moment we put in. the high indirect fourth, the gear. box be- gan to make it's working apparent. Now, with the Cadillac one gets all the advantages of the h1gn fourth, but without the noise; it simply, as were, calms down on the engine without any counter balancing noise or other objection.
 After once experiencing the de- light of two direct and noiseless drives one feels that it is difficult to outline an ideal ear which does not contain this feature, and we feel fairly safe in asserting; that theEG Cadillac success ful reintroductiop of an old idea will be followed; by other makers 2 '

NOW, mere is Where my plea Tor
the friends, and neighbor kind
of treatment comes in. Suppose
a chimney i'll house belonging to
John Smith burns out and sets fire
to the house of his neighbo Jones.
Jones collects his insurance and
subrogates his claim in favor of
the insurance company, which
brings suit against Smith. Is it
not inconceivable that jury of
friends and neighbors would find
in favor of the insurance company
which had been paid its regular
rate for the risk involved in insur-
ing Smiths residence? Of course
it is, and yet that very thing has
happened to my community.
FAKE CLAIMS NUMEROUS.
"Now, gentlemen, | don't want
to be understood as indicting all
the people of Mississippi because
of the injustice which the railroad
has sustained at the hands of what
after all, is a very small percentage
of the entire citizenship of the
state. The fact is, however, that
when we cross the Mississippi line
we find an entirely different con-
dition from that existing in the
adjoining States of Louisiana and
Tennessee, and are called upon to
deal with damage suit questions of
a kind never heard of in those
states. Larger verdicts are not
only rendered by juries and affirm
ed by the courts, but there is also
much larger percentage of fake
claims. Such thing as having to
defend suit because of alleged
insults, such as we have to defend
in Mississippi, is absolutely un-
known in Tennessee and Louisiana.
The employees of the company in
these three states are largely ma
tive, and why the men on the
Mississippi lines should be any
the. less courteous than those en-
ployed in neighboring states is
beyond my comprehension. As

ments on account of personal in
lures, while with 2,54l miles of
line in Illinois, the payments for
the same period amounted to only
$6O5, ,45096. The mileage IN Mis-
sissippi is only 70 per cent of the
mileage in Illinois, and our operat
ing revenues in your state only So
per cent of the operating revenues
in Illinois, with much greater
density of population in the latter
state. 1t is not because more peo-
pie receive physical injuries in
Mississippi that explains this great
difference in the amounts paid out;
it is because of the larger verdicts
rendered in cases where physical
hurts have occurred and because
of the verdict rendered in cases
where the plaintiff complains of
being 'insulied, ignored or neglect
ed,' as Mr. Lee puts it-a class of
damage suit cases unknown and
unheard of in Illinois.

oped the fact that the plant was

TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN
NUMBER OF PIPES SOLD
Popularized by Milder Tobacco Which
Does Away with Tongue
Bite"

1t is said by experts that a process OF
preparing smoking tobacco to prevent
tongue bit" discovered number OF
years ago by Richmond doctor, has
resulted to-day in the purchase and
smoking of pipes by at least two million
additional smokers. That this method,
the now famous Tuxedo process" is
thoroughly successful, there can be no
doubt. 1t has made Tuxedo tobacco not
only great general fayorite, but led to
its endorsement, over their own sigma
lures, by hundreds of well -known Amer
leans, including such prominent men as
John Philip Sousa, Congressman Will
liam i. Murray OF Massachusetts,, Rex
Beach, George Cohan, George Randolph
Chester, and Harrison Fisher
Special local interest attaches to the
wealth of evidence TO indicate that
Tuxedo is an unusual tobacco, because
leading tobacco dealers of Barre are
presenting each customer who purchases
l0c worth of Tuxedo with handsome
smoking set, consisting of stand for
a match box, two rests for cigars, and
a cigar cutter, all finished in oxidized
copper and combined in handy, conven-
lent form. The local dealers have been
supplied with these smoking sets by the
of Tuxedo in order to
induce more smokers to make an imme-
date trial of this brand and become ae-
quainted with the extraordinary salts
faction it is said to afford.-Advt.
