SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE OHIO ELECTRIC

The statesmen of the H. E Ross
Electric company of Davenport, ex-
hibiting the Ohio Electric at the show
in advancing arguments relative to
their cars point out a very distinctive
feature The Ohio Electric this year
has eliminated chain reduction and
connected the motor directly to the
end O. the propeller shaft.
Just back OF the motor at the inter
section of forged cross members or
the frame and propeller shaft is a
ball and socket joint-primarily there
to take care of side swing and end
play 1t serves the third purpose,
however. The motor is just about one
third lighter than the rear axle 1t
counterbalances as it were, the weight
of the rear aXle-the joint acts as a
pivot and the cross member carries
the weight to the frame. Thus there
is less upsprung weight on rear axle
bearings than there would be under
conditions, were the motor to be posi-
toned near the rear axle and the con-
struction for side swing and end play
of any other type.

within the last five years the tax
iCab has displaced thousands of
horses and cabs on the streets of all
large cities of Europe and America. In
London alone there were 1896 motor
cars in operation at the end of last
October. So complete has been the
displacement of the hanson cab
there that a movement was started
recently to induce the British museum
to buy a hanson and install it in the
museum before that type of vehicle
should become obsolete and it would
be difficult to obtain one in good con-
dition.
There has been a similaE substitu-
ton of motor buses for horse omni-
buses in Great Britain and the con-
tinent. At the end of October, 2,677
motor buses were registered in Lon
don. and the old horse-drawn buses
had nearly disappeared So far the
motor bus has not attained to any
thing like the same prominence in
America, although a fleet of more than
100 Is being operated on Fifth avenue
and Riverside drive, and large depart
ment stores in Chicago have estab-
lished private motor bus service be-
tween their stores and the railroad
stations. The electric street car is so
ubiquitous in America that motor
buses have made relatively slow head
way, but there has been considerable
development of interurban motor stage
service and of late there has been a
noticeable increase of interest in mo
tor bus lines in small cities and the
suburbs of large cities where street

Of the motor car on which it is used.
A good anti-skid tire doing its work
efficiently cuts through the greasy film,
dirt or other coating on the road and
secures a gripping hold on the firm
road surface. The nonskid devices of
the tread should be so arranged that in
whatever direction the tire tends to
skid, they clean away the coating and
give the tread a firm grip on the road
surface. thus stopping the skid before
it gets under way When once a
smooth tread tire starts to skid the

HORSE GIVES WAY TO
MOTOR BUS IN CITIES

Gradually mans faithful friend, the
horse. is being crowded from the
streets of large cities. II anyone doubts
the figures that are brought forward
from time to time to prove this, he
need only observe the traffic on Fifth
avenue and Seventh avenue, in New
York, any day to be convinced. From
3 TO O'Clock the street is congested
with traffic in which horses are so few
as to seem totally absent. This mar
velous change in conditions has been
wrought in the last seven years. Pho
tographs of the avenue taken so re-
Gently as 1905 show a predominance Of
horse-drawn carriages, broughams,
hansoms and wagons almost as great

OF traffic conditions, made this predic-
ton last week:
Fifth avenue today presents a pict-
ure of conditions that will exist FIVE
years later on all north-and-sout ave
nues Of the metropolis, except that on
the other avenues the traffic will be

There are already between 1000
and 5000 motor trucks and delivery
wagons operating in Greater New
York. and so far this winter new mo-
tor trucks have been registered with
the secretary of state at Albany at the

SHOULD STOP SKIDDlNG
Automobile Tires Have Double Duty
to Perform-Prevent Accidents.

illOo OObOtC OdbJ
to Perform-Prevent Accidents.
A well known tire manufacturer is
credited with the statement that ANY
curb stone will stop a skid" That
may be one advantage of curb stones,
but there never was a curb stone
which could prevent a skid-pay for
the damages done to the car-repair
broken bones or bring back life. A
skid will come at the most unexpected
moment and in a fash it has done ir-
reparable damage TO both the car and
its occupants.
Skidding is the slipping or sliding
of tire on the road surface. There
One is by a greasy film of oil, slime,
dirt or other lubricants between the
solid road surface and the tire, which
prevents a smooth tread tire from get
ting traction. The other is where the
contour Of the road is such that most
of the weight is thrown to one side of
the car, causing ii to skid and leave
the road. The latter condition is re-
peatedly encountered in touring where
roads are often fanked by steep EN-
bankments.
Years of experience have taught the
motoring public that there is only one
way to prevent skidding-and that is
by the use Of good anti-skid tires. The
idea that an anti-skid tire is nothing
more than an ordinary tire having the
tread profusely decorated with funny
little knots-designed by eccentric ar
tists-is misleading in the extreme
Neither is a good anti-skid tire mere
ly a fancy arrangement of buttons
and ridges securely fastened TO the
tread.
An anttskid tire to effectively do
the work for which It is primarily in
tended-prevent skidding- must be
scientifically designed and built with
as much engineering skill as any part
