W. B. Cochrane, president of the

Sargent as manager of the Oakland
branch.
\ Mr.. Sargent is a poineer in the To-
cal automobile field. He has a great
many friends who viii be pleased TO
hear of his new appointment. He
attended the University of California,
where he was a member of the Reta
Pal fraternity and T. N. e. society.
Recently Mr.. Sargent returned from
Fresno. where he had the mRnage-
ment of one of the largest factory
branches in the valley.
He is highly elated over the busi-
ness outlook in Oakland and also
over the fact that he has made con-
nections with the popular Haynes
car.
"The electric gear shift" said sar-
gent, lis indeed a wonderful inven- :
tion and a great help to the motorist,
especially to the fair sex, as a car
can be controlled absolutely by the
use of push buttons on the steering
wheel"

CARS
ARE IN GREAT
DEMAND
[. S. Greenebaum Will Soon
Leave for the Factory to
Rush Shipments

THE increased demand this season
for Jeffery pleasure cars and trucks
has made it imperative that some one
from our company visit the factory
and hurry shipments westward" says
Vice President L. S. Greenebaum of
the Jeffery Auto Sales company.
I'VE are having the same trouble
that other dealers handling standard
makes of cars are experiencing. 1t
Is case of grab all you can get with
the dealers. They are constantly
bounding the factory for new cars and
we are going to do our share of the
bounding. The most successful way
to do this to get results. experience
has taught us, is to have a man at
the factory and let him stay right on
the ground until we are sufficiently
supplied.
However, this is my main object in
going to the factory l will at the
same time make complete investiga-
ton of the plant The well known
efficiency and high grade art of con-
struction is world famed and it will
be interesting to see for ones self the
building of one of the most popular
standard make of cars of today.
THE advanced orders we have re-
ceived for the new four cylinder car
has necessitated our trying to get
more than the original allotment The
factory up to the present time has re-
fused to increase the number for the
coast and am in hopes when I reach
the factory to get the officials to re-
consider their decision and allow a
E,~ y.
'.The length of my stay at the fae-
tory will be governed altogether by
shipments. 7 will not leave until all
back orders are filled and enough sent
westward so that he can make imme-
diate deliveries

CARE OF THE BRAKES

Serious accidents are frequently
traceahle to the poor condition of
brakes or to their being out of adjust
ment Brakes should be kept free
from grease and dirt to be effective
and even brake Innings that are hard
and dry will be almost as ineffective
as when covered with oil. for they are
so hard and smooth as to destroy their
gripping capacity. When covered with
grease they should be cleaned with
gasoline and permitted to dry before
using When dry sometimes a douche
of water will raise the fiber and give
them gripping qualities. 1t is best,
however. to clean with gasoline and
when dry to spread on a little oil in
order to soften the fabric. neatsfoot
being the best article for this purpose.
The San Francisco call., 1913-12-06

The universal joints in the propeller
shaft and clutch shaft should be in
spected and fabricated about every
500 miles. Some universals do not
need such close attention. There is
usually a grease retainer to prevent
the lubricant from working out, but
if these leak the joints need close at
tention.

Manager krohn Inspecting
Agencies in u, S.

H. NJ. Jewett, president, and Henry
Krohn, sales manager Of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car company, have
been in San Francisco for the last
week. They have visited all the
principal points in the United States
from New England TO the coast dur
ing the last few months. the object
being to get into close touch with the
distributors and dealers handling
Paige cars and to study local con-
ditions surrounding each district.
They are on their way to Portland.
Seattle, Vancouver, Salt Lake City,
Denver and back to Detroit, where
they will arrive shortly before Christ
mas.
Jewett and Krohn are acquainting
their dealers with the unique position
of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car COM
pany, which is producing such won
derfu1 values for the money, and the
reasons why such values can be given.
Financially the company is not
weighted down with debts, not owing
dollar in bonds, preferred stock and
other excessive interest charges. The
company has a small capital-all
common stock. virtually all owned by
the directors, who have all the finan-
cial backing necessary to carry along
their tremendous operations.
December Is the company will start
moving into their new reinforced con-
crete factory, where new machinery,

LEAKING FEED PIPE


A small leak in a gasoline feed pipe
may not be noticed, especially in sum-
mer, when the gasoline evaporates
quite rapidly. This may be not only
the reason for small mileage per gal
lon of fuel used. but it may be dan
gerous source of fire.

New Cadillac Car
Attracts Attention

The performance of the 1914 Cadil-
lac in running 1000 miles on seven
and a half pints of oil has attracted
the attention of the automobile en-
gineers of the world. This is an
average of over 1000 miles to the gall
Ion Of oil.
Such record with no previous
preparation permitted has brought
into prominence the Cadillac oiling
system. The test was made in con-
.nection with the Dewar trophy COM
petition of the Royal Automobile club
4, of Great Britain. The trophy was
awarded to the Cadillac as the car
demonstrating the greatest advance in
sthe industry. Every part of the car
and every feature of It's operation was
taken into consideration. but the oil
record has caused as much comment
as any one feature.
81. The oiiing system used in the Cadil-
:,lac was originated by the Cadillac
company and practically this same
system has been employed in all four
cylinder Cadillac cars since 1905.
FOUR COMPARTMENTS
A quantity of oil is placed in the
oil pan of the crank case, which is
divided into four compartments. An
=. oil reservoir is located alongside the
engine, cast integral with the base.
In this reservoir is located double
acting force pump, the supply from
(which may be properly regulated to
take care of the engines require
ments. The oil is forced from the
reservoir up to and drops through the
sight feed on the dash. From there
It is forced to the crank case, main
+. tanning the supply there. BY means
sof splashers at the end Of each con-
meeting rod which dip into the oil at
seach revolution of the crank, the oil
is thrown completely over and upon
All the inside working parts of the
e engine, including main bearings, CYL
sinders, etc.
With the Cadillac system the oil
does not collect in either end of the
g crank case, as the sloping troughs on
@ the side distribute it from one COM
. partment to another, maintaining a
uniform and constant level in each,
regardless of road conditions or
. grades.
.fhere is another prime advantage.
:. There is not a multiplicity of feed
: pipes to watch that may become
:. ciogged UP and result in burned out
bearings. On the contrary, there is
. but one, and IL the oil is shown by the
sight feed to be feeding properly
there is positive assurance that all
bearings taken care of by this sys-
item are being properly fabricated.

All of Tribuno's travelling is done in
his car. The Regal roadster has been
his old standby in many a grilling
drive, as was attested the other morn

a coating of Oregon and California
mud several inches thick on his car.
Rain and mud and small streams are
nothing to him.

THAT GRATING SOUND

When an amateur driver shifts his
gear, the excess of sound makes an
expert smile. To shift gears noisily,
release the clutch to it's fullest ex-
tent, then push the change gear lever
with a quick, jabby motion until the
gears go in. Do not slowly push the
lever into position. This causes the
teeth of the gear wheels to strike and
be thrown back, and each approach
repeats the noise The expert endeav-
ors to secure coordinate speed of the

a fence wire and fastened it to his

that the little car could yank his big

ABOUT BRAKES

Auto Editor: How can stop the
rafting in the brake bands on my

Possibly the brakes need refining.
When they are worn down they are
generally noisy. 1t is advisable to
use small coil springs to the sus-
pended parts from hitting the brake
