PIERCE-ARRow.
The Ellis Motor Car Company is
showing a stripped chassis, a seven
passenger As touring, "a five-passenger
IS touring and a So brougham. The
brougham is in dark green, lined with
imported whipcord. But what will
probably attract more attention is
their new convertible coupe-runabont
on the IS chassis.
The most noticeable feature OF
this years models is the placing OF
the headlights on the front mud
guards. In the first place the area
of illumination is greatly increased,
the diffused rays illuminate the side
of the road to such an extent that
when making a turn the driver IS
able to see the road into which he is
turning clearly. The beams respond
to a turning movement much more
rapidlv on account of their increased
distance from the centre line, or axis,
of the car; another great advantage
of the lamps in this position is the
elimination of the danger of being
sideswiped while passing cars on the
road.
PoPE-HARTFoRD.
The Pope Manufacturing COMPANY,
Hartford, Conn, is marketing what Is
known as model So. On this chassis
there are three types of body--a five
passenger touring car, two-pas-
senger roadster, and three-passenge

cast in pairs and has the chrome
nickel steel valves located in the head
The cranSshaft is carried on three
bearings which have total length OF
1885 inches. The motor is oiled oy q
mechanical oiler which taxes the
lubricant from the crankcase reservoir
and forces it to each main bearing
and the cylinder wall; outside of this
there is also splash feed
PREMIER.
One of the sensations of the season
in motoring circles is the new SIX
announced by the Premier Motor Car |
Company, Indianapolis, Ind, the |
motor OF which is a very decided de-
parture from engine design in Amer
lea. The Premier company calls II the |
Weidley motor after its designer, |
George A. Weidley, chief engineer of |
the Hoosier concern. The Weidley
motor is Of the poppet-valve type, but |
these valves are all in the head with |
out cages and are operated by a
single camshaft which lies above the |
cylinders

stamina of the larger car.
REQ.
r. E. Olds announces that the new
summer series of REQ V. will sell for
S1,175 equipped. The equipment in
cludes electric starter and lights, in
to every other practical con-
venience. Compared with last years
model, which with this equipment
sold for 81 1896, the reduction is WON
derful. The idea Mr. Olds had in mind
when first bringing out REQ V. was
this eventual saving, and the $500 re-
duction can be credited mainly to his
policy of concentration on this one |
chassis. This summer series model |
has a stream body line of unusual
distinction and beauty. The equip
ment also carries many new and in
dividual ideas.
SPEEDWELL.
For the 1914 season the Speedwell
Motor Car Company, of Dayton, o.,
is offering to the public a car that
differs from the successful series c.
and III" models supplied last year in
but one particular-Viz: the new ro-
tary valve motor Briefly, this mo-
tor is constructed along the lines of
modern gas engine practise, with the
exception of the valves. These con-
sist of two cylindrical valves in the
cylinder heads, which revolve at a
speed bearing a certain definite ratio
to the crankshaft speed, these valves
being provided with ports which reg
lister at the proper time with ports
in the cylinder to allow the fresh gas
