Automobiles Difference
 From Other Machines

"The automobile of today has to meet requirements not expected of any other machine," said Charles W. Tway. dis tributor for the Haynes America's first car, in this territory. Tt must be well built. accessible. easy to operate and as nearly 'foolproof' as mechanical ingenu- fly can make it.
 "The question, How much speed will 1t develop?' is seldom asked by the prospec- tive buyer. He Is more interested in the dependa bility the ease of operation Of the car and in the service offered by the manufacturer.
 'The time will come when the automo- bile will give very little mechanical trouble to those who are already ac- quainted with the cars and adjustment of the machine that time is here. The av- craze car consists of about 5000 parts some as many as 5000. Its efficiency Is directly dependent upon the harmonious working of all these parts and in order that this end may be attained, first. the car must be designed, not assembled, then this design must be intelligently ex- ecuted. But this is not all, the owner must be informed in regard to those things which enables him to obtain good service and maximum efficiency.
 This does not mean that he must pe- come an engineer. mechanic or repair man. but it does mean he must know how to Intricate his car. how to care for it ano how to make minor adjustments" The Haynes Automobile company has just made an announcement of interest tc motorists, to the effect that a page in their house organ, The Haynes Pioneer

The Cyclecar Has a

The cyclecar came as a result of de- mand for motor vehicle which was more within the reach of the people could be bought and run at. a lower cost and vet do anything with two passengers which a big car could do The simple light 36- inch tread cars were put on the road and 1t was found their performance was away beyond anything man had experi- enced in vehicle before, and that the cars had a field on the basis of perform ance as well as son cost.
 They are in the first place more com fortable riding than a big car, at no matter what price, have a higher road average speed and on a 36-inch tread, are better fitted to American roads than standard tread cars and go places where no big car can follow.
 The cyclecar is n new type ofe vehicle designed to give maximum results for a minimum cost. It is not a small automo- bile. but a new class of road vehicle built for it's own work to meet it's new condi- tions 1t is made as it is for reasons ana not fancies and represents an epoch in the power vehicle industry.

Beneficial Results From
 Illinois Good Roads Day.
Concerted Movement Launched to Pull Illinois Out of the Mud'-Teddy Tezlaff to Drive for Maxwels-Nove I Test of Durability of Automobile

A good roads movement that swept the entire state of Illinois and concerted effort to improve about 300 miles of highways were the results of Road Day on April 15, designated by Governor Edward D. Dunne as the day when all citizens should do some actual work on the roads and pull Illinois out of the mud"
 Although Illinois is leader in public improvements and in many of the country's great industries, that state is way down in the rank of road improvement. Less than 15 per cent of the roads in Illinois are im- proved, while Massachusetts, for ex- ample, has improved 50 per cent of the highways of the state. To drive home this contrast, to urge the be- ginning of strenuous road work, to in spect road operations prompted by the Road Day agitation and to off cially begin work on new state aid road, Governor Dunne, accompanied by the entire state highway commits sion and host of other officials, crossed the northern part of the state in fleet of high powered White six cylinder motor cars.
 Accompanying the governor were Charles NJ. Hayes, president of the Chica- go Motor club William l.. Mckinley, sneaker of the Illinois house: Representa- : tive John Divine of Dixon, Ill.; Homer C.

Motorists Should Be- More
 Careful On City Streets
Accidents Happen With Dsheartening Frequency-Motol Truck is Being Used by United States Army -Disbrow .J Has Remarkable Record-Heavy Require
 ments for Automobiles

Automobile accidents-fatal and otherwise-happen with frequency that is disheartening. Something should be done towards preventing these collisions in which the pedes- trian is hurled from the road.
 There is really only one thing to be done and that is to be more careful. No one in their right mind wants to abolish the automobile or make any radical speed limits. In fact, it might be stated that speed laws are moro or less of farce, but the idea should be that all normal motorists should "speed" if so inclined on a good stretch where there is no danger of hurting anyone but the "speeder," and that all motorists should be very careful on the city streets.
 There is no excuse for making the streets of Birmingham a place to try out ''near'' racing cars. Young men who have ambitions to become Barney Old fields" should try secluded roads for their racing proclivities and leave the much harassed citizens of this community se- verely alone.
 The real motor1st does not speed and is very careful on the city streets. He feels for the rights of others and also does not care to give bad name to the game of which he Is an ardent enthusiast. But it is the young man-usually he of the re- ceding chin and the sloping forehead. who trims down car so that 1t looks like a racer and then he "highballs'' through

easily defeated all corners, won from Ralph DePalma in three straight heats at San Antonio, Tex. Tn the final dirt track race of the season some days ago. he again proved beyond the shadow of . doubt that the dirt track honors which he won in 1912 rightfully belonged to him as far as competition goes.
 In the record book Dsbrow also stands as the premier honor man, having held throughout the past season the records he established in 1912. These are seven in number and more than all the other drivers put together hold.
 Disbrow spent most of the season on the dirt tracks in the middle west and south. DePalma attended to the east and Bob Burman. Teddy TetzIaf and Barney Oldfied shared the honors of the year on the dirt tracks of the far west and in Canada. E.
 The only youngster who came to the front on the dirt ovals during the year was Eddie Rickenbacher, head of the Mason team. He met Disbrow in differ ent races at three different meets and each time gave him a hard battle, finish- ing ahead.-of all other competitors except the champion.
 Probably the biggest single dirt track event of the year was won by still another driver who has given very little of his time to the dirt oyals. The race was run off at Columbus, O.. and was won by Ralph Mulford in worlds record time.
 No driver in the history of dirt track competition has accomplished such phe- nomenal success as Disbrow. In two years he has started 132 times and won l01 firsts, 19 seconds and 6 thirds. He was
 unplaced just six times. His defeats have all taken place in handicap races or Aus tralian pursuit contests. except on one occasions when he lest to the Mason car at Sioux City, 1a., where his mecilanician forgot to turn on the gasoline after 1t had been turned off by Disbrow on account of delay at the start of the contest. In beach competition Disbrow also proved the premier driver both last veal and the past season. He won the 300-mile event at Galveston, the most important race as far as the magnitude of the purse and the number of entries went during the season of 1913. In his career Disbrov has also won more distance events or beach courses than any other man driv- ing a car today. He has to his credit overwhelming victories in the 300-miit race of the past season, the 200-mile ract of the 1912 season and the famous 3oo-mil' Pablo Beach race of 1911, in which he de. 7

Motor Truck Being
 Used by U. $. Army

A Peerless truck shipped recently from the Cleveland factory to Texas was re- quested by the United States army at Beeville, Tex, last week to report to them at Houston as soon as possible and aid in the movement of troops to Texas City.
 The distance from Beevile to Houston is 250 miles by railroad. The truck left Beeville Tuesday morning, running over roads a large part of which had previous ly been regarded as impossible to motor trucks because of mud, sand, and general adverse conditions.
 After 35 hours of continuous driving, during which the crew stopped only to re- fill with gasoline and to eat, the truck arrived at Houston Wednesday afternoon. The truck was loaded with army supplies which 1t is carrying on the march to Tex as City, in place of the old time mule wagons.
