FOREIGN
DESIGN
Milo Bekins Speaks of the
New Limousine as the
Finest of All Cars

The metropolitan Light Six" Lozier
is. an ideal owner-driver Limousine
car The interior is one large COM
partment, seating five people, all fac
ing forward.
This is another foreign looking
body design, but having the added
exclusiveness and refinement which
the Lozier designers know so well
how to give
This style of body permits unusual
ly wide doors, there being but one on
each side, which makes ii almost as
easy to enter and leave as through
the doorway of a room. The windows
are in the same proportions as the
doors, fitted with upholstered straps
for lowering and raising. Silk roller
shades are also fitted.
Interior trimming is furnished in
imported cloths. broadcloth, whipcord,
ETC.
The appointments of the Metro
politan are similar to the Coronado,
including hat and parcel carrier.
The seating arrangement is very
convenient A passenger may enter
or leave the car and not disturb any
of the other occupants. The rear seat
is of the usual Lozier liberal size and
comfort. Cushions are of the new
Turkish pattern, IL inches thick. This
seat comfortably accommodates three
persons.
The front seat beside the driver is
big and comfortable and folds up
quickly to afford passageway.

Have Equipped Their Cars
With Self-Starters for
Seven Years

The Winton Six self-cranking sys-
tenn is now In its seventh successive
year.
The pioneer of all self-starters, it
is also the most thoroughly proved.
the simplest. and the least likely to
get out of order. Improved from year
to year. it's efficiency has steadily in
creased. and today it maintains its
leadership over all the various forms
of starters that have come upon the
market since Mr.. Winton blazed the
way and proved hand cranking to be
unnecessary as Ii is laborious
The principle remains unchanged.
Air pressure spins the motor, and ig-
milton does the rest The operator
has only to push button.
This air pressure is taken from two
Esources. so that failure is impossible.
While the motor is running, the third
and fourth cylinders pack air pres
sure into storage. for use when
wanted. Then there is water cooled,
four cylinder Kellogg air pump to
supply still further air pressure
The pump is driven by sprockets and
a silent chain. and is operated by
means of clutch which the driver
engages. When the clutch is released
the pump stops Thus 1t runs only
when needed
The efficiency and durability of this
pump were conelusively shown in a
Winton laboratory test. After 1875
hour of continuous running, the
pumping efficiency was higher than at
the start, and the pump showed no
evidences of wear.

PARTY TAXES.
LONG TOUR
IN AUTO
Chalmers Party Tours From
Montana to San
Francisco

A very unusual and strenuous tour
was recently made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Greenwood, Leo Soloman and
Ralph Stiff. party of enthusiastic
motorists who drove from Missoula,
Mont, to San Francisco in their Chal-
mers touring car. Ralph Stiff, who
piloted the car for the greater part of
the trip. gives the following interest
ing account of their mountain and
desert tour:
we left Missoula. Mont, on the
morning of September Il and passed
through Butte that afternoon. We left
the state of Montana shortly after
passing through Lima and encoun-
tered one of the toughest portions of
the entire trip on the stretch TO Idaho
Falls and Pocatello in crossing the
Idaho desert. From Pocatello we made
the III mile run TO Salt Lake.
Having been informed that the
northern route through Nevada was
almost impossible on account of re-
cent cloudbursts, we took the route
leading through Ely. New. and cross
ing one arm of the Great American
desert. and about four miles out of
Kearney's ranch, we ran into the path
of a cloudburst which had cut
washout 5sto % feet deep and about
miles long. and as we had TO cross
and recross this a number of times.
and at some points had to drive along
the bottom of the washout, we found
driving exceedingly rough.
On the last days stretch to Tono-
pah. road conditions being more ia
vorable. we made 207 miles in a day,
but about 40 or so miles out of Tono-
pas we again ran into a washout
which gave US about is or 30 miles of
rocky driving. These washouts are
certainly a test of the power and
durability Of any car, and we were
more than pleased with the manner
in which our 'trusty' Chalmers pulled
US through. Upon leaving Haw-
thorne we came over the Lucky Boy
pass and within a few miles rose
from an altitude of 1863 to 1920
feet.
Continuing our tour. we drove
through Gardenerville and up into
the Sierras to Lake Tahoe at Edge
mont and from there down through
Placerville, over one of the crooked
est roads l have ever seen to- Edo
RADIO, Single Springs and Hills. From
this point via Sacramento, and Stock
ton 1T was smooth driving 10 San
Francisco.
''On the entire trip our Chalmers
car gave us the best of service and
we had no trouble whatsoever with
the exception of one single puncture
p miles out of Missoula, where we
picked up an old railroad spike.
