LIGHT AND VENTILATION
IN MODERN FACTORIES
FirestOne Company AIlOts 80 Per Cent
of Wall Space to Windows,
Saws !. ]. Haas.

THE ramshackle, poorly ventilated and
dimly lighted factory is becoming more
and more thing OF the past. Manu-
facturers are realizing. as never before,
that men can do their best. only when
conditions are conducive to health and
surroundings agreeable. This Is espe-
cially true of the automobile and tire
factories, due. no doubt, to the fact
that the automobile industry is strictly
a modern one," said ]. J. Haas, manager
of the Washington branch Of the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber Company.
Take for an example the Firestone
factory. When their present factory was
erected. the greatest care was exercised
to build 1t as nearly ideal as possible
from the standpoint OF safety, comfort
and health of the employees. In the first
place fully 50 per cent OF the wall space
was devoted to windows and all build
ings were erected so that sixty feet is
the uniform width, with windows on an
Sides allowing the greatest possible
amount of light and ventilation. In Addi-
tion forced ventilation. Is also provided
where necessary. 'EE.
while Akron has an ample water sup
ply, it is not always the best for drink
ing purposes. therefore the company
sunk a number of wells and to make
doubly sure of safety, 1t is passed
through filtration plant and then
pumped to every room of the huge fac
tory, where constantly flowing. sanitary,
bubble fountains eliminate the use Of
cups and add sanother safety feature to
the arrangement. However. this is 5ust
one illustration. There are also many
other features.
THE company has shown, upon every
that it has the interest and
welfare OF its employees at heart. That
these things are worth while Is shown
by the fact that the Firestone company
has a working force OF loyal, enthusiastic
and expert workmen. who are less given
to floating than in the average fac
tory
Mr.. Haas recently returned from the
dealers convention Of the Firestone
company at Akron, Ohio.

TWO ROUTES OFFERED
FOR WESTERN TOURS
Late Reports Reaching A. A. A. Show
Highways to Be in Fair Shape
for Automobiles

With the exception OF such slight i'm
provements as may be made during the
winter months, the principal transcon-
tinentaI routes are now in approximately
the shape they will be at the beginning
of the heavy travel to the San Fran
cisco exposition early next year. At
least no new projects can be under
taken and finished before this heavy
travel begins.
. Late reports reaching the A A. A.
touring information board, New York
and Washington, from all quarters indi-
cate that the road improvements on the
principal ross-country lines during 1914
have been underestimate rather than
overestimated This is particularly the
case on the western end Of the North
West have also made very great i'm.
attle, especially since the former severe
grade Of Snoqualmie Pass has been re-
duced to a maximum Of per cent. %
The cities, counties, and towns on the
line Of the Lincoln highway in the far
west have also made very great i'm
provements in order to bring that route
to as good condition as possible for 1876
touring. Both the Trail to Sunset" and
Its principal alternate, the Santa Fe-
Grand Canyon-Needles Highway, have
nof aged behind the others, and begin
ming next year the tourist has two COM
pIete OPTIONS between Albuquerque and
Southern California, both Of which can
be Travelled with comfort and safety.
While unfortunately some parts OF the
"AU-Southern Route" are yet In poor
shape, that line as a whole has been
greatly improved during 1914. and VIII
not present very serious difficulties TO
tourists who decide to go leisurely across
that way in 1915. The A. A. A. touring
board has the latest information on all
these lines, and Is prepared to confer
with tourists on the routes best suited
for their particular purpose.
Maps and specific Information can oe
had either at national headquarters, 49,
Fifth avenue, New York, or National
Capital headquarters, Riggs Building,

cross-country trips in the spring are
especially invited to take up these sub
iects with the touring board during the

MOTOR TRUCKS VALUE
DEMONSTRATED In WAR
Wonderful Object Lesson Given to
World by Conflict Raging
IN Europe.

The only good thing. so far. that has
come out, Of the European war. is the
wonderful object lesson that has been
given to the world on the necessity for
motor trucks.
When France went to war with Ger
many, she carried her provisions to the
front in Quad-type motor trucks. AID
one Of the reasons why the experience
Of ISL was not repeated was the mo-
bility afforded by the Quads.
Napoleon's oft-repeated statement that
an army marches on its stomach has
been proved over and over again since
the war started. The commissary de-
partment Of France has never broken
down. II the great Corsican were alive
today, he would be justified in par
aphrasing his famous saying into its
modern equivalent, Equip the commits
sary department with Quad trucks
The war in South Africa cost Eng
land 10000 horses. But the Boer war
was simply a skirmish compared with
the struggle in Europe. Already agents
OF the warning powers. are securing the
earth for motor trucks and horses. The
cavalry need horses badly. The artil
lery cannot get enough motor trucks
and must use many horses Millions OF
the worlds finest draft animals will
be extermlnated IL the war lasts very
much longer. Business must then turn
to motor trucks.
The economy and superior service OF
the motor truck have long been con-
ceded. The only obstacle in the way
Of universal adoption OF motor road
transport is the financial difnculty of
converting. without initial loss. the pres
ent fixed investment in animal equip
ment.- II is therefore not entirely an
unmixed evil that the death-dealing
- q ~. nrf1
inns, Creuseots and others are visibly
Fastening the day when mankind will
use the motor truck to the practical ex-
clusion OF the horse and mule. And
the resulting economies will soon pay
for the new equipment and contribute
in, large part to the quick rehabilitation
Of a war-racked continent

Like Dressmaker Milliner,
Builders Strive to Follow
Public Taste.
SEEK GRACEFUL LINES
Best Types of European Designers
Blended in New 'De.roitef"" for
Coming Season.

Like the dressmaker, the miIliner and
the tailor. the builders of motorcars are
today striving to follow the public taste
in styles; to keep pace with the demand
of the American people for something
little different, a little better, a little
more advanced than what has gone be-
FORE says c. S. Briggs, president Of the
Briggs-Detroiter Company.
"Just a few years ago the Paris fashion
autocrats decreed that skirts should be
tight, then tighter, and yet a little tighter.
Now the other extreme has been declared
the proper thing. and I understand that
henceforth and until further notice the
skirt that is less than sixteen feet around
the bottom will be passa
Though the changes In motorcar styles
have been less radical, they have never
theIess been marked during the past few
years. In the first decade in motorcar
construction we had the blunt body,
good many abrupt angles and corners
and very little beauty Of line. Gradually
the lines because more graceful, the dash
grew smaller and smaller until II has
been eliminated entirely, and In place Of
the blunt, awkward, homely model OF d
few years ago we have evolved type of
motor vehicle that Is graceful in appear
ance from any point Of view.
European Lines Adopted.
''In the new Detroiter we have adapted
the best of streamline and boat types Of
European designers, from whom, by the
way, we have gotten our best ideas in
this direction, and we have blended these
lines with the best ideas Of American body
construction.
"Our new model represents the most ad-
vanced American type Of streamline de-
sign and incorporates the latest refine
ments in mechanical details, besides
number Of exclusive features such as ball
bearing motor and full-hoating axle that
will not be found in other cars under
a,5o0.
The American people do not want and
will not buy a car that is extreme In any
respect, which makes II necessary that
the extreme boat type ideals Of European
builders must be toned down materially.
DimcuIt to Look Ahead.
what Is likely to be stylish q year or
two hence? That's a hard question to an
swer. In fact, 1t is dificult to look more
than six months ahead. I believe, how
ever, that an early development will be
a body built SO that the top, when down,
and spare tires will be carried out Of
sight, giving an unbroken line all around
the car"

at 1872 G street, sell the Detroiter in this
territory.

EUROPE SHOWS FAVOR
TO SHORT WHEEL BASE
Manufacturers of Peerless Cars Adopt
Foreign Method with Some
Improvements.

The leading European manufacturers
of automobiles cannot understand why so
many American makers still cling to the
long wheel-base type OF touring car when
Europe has so generally come to recog-
nize that this type has disadvantages that
can be avoided by the modern short
designs.
The average length of wheel base in
thirty-nine leading European makes OF
light cars is liz inches, the average
horsepower rating eighteen. These cars
are made for use in all kinds OF service,
for touring and for day-in-and-day-out
use in the city streets, the purpose for
which by far the larger number OF high
grade cars are used in America.
At least one prominent American manu-
facturer shares their view Of the situa-
ton. In its "An Purpose" four and SIX
cylinder cars the Peerless Motor Car
Company has put upon the market a
product which is similar in all essential
details TO the newest type of European
cars.
1t has the most modern type OF small
bore, high-speed motor. which combines
exceptional power for its size With light
weight. And while these cars have IS
per cent more power than the European
average for similar models, they are still
judged by previous American high-grade
cars rather low powered. .-....
This is true because owners nowadays
desire sustained service and economy
rather than speed in excess of forty miles
an hour. And in order to build a car
light of weight so that 1t can be operated
economically, 1t is necessary to reduce
the power. A powerful engine requires
the use Of heavier parts in every place
on the car In order that the chassis may
withstand the severe strains a powerful
engine places upon It.
The Zell Motor Car Company. with a
display room at 1906 II street northwest,
