Speedster Guaranteed Faster by
One Second to Lap Than
Any Other Car.

Ray Harroun, famous engineer and
designer of racing cars, Endorses his
erstwhile rival, Bob Burman, in say
ing that all previous speed records
will undoubtedly be shattered in the
big Memorial Day classic on the In
dianapolis Speedway.
That European manufacturers will
make frantic efforts to regain their
lost ground in the American market
by building cars that will retain the
cup is a certainty.
That American makers have awak-
ened to the fact that European buyers
regard speed prowess as indicating
the value Of car is also true. Only
a few American manufacturers have
taken the matter as seriously as
European manufacturers, however,
and consequently the representation
less carefully made. For example,
most American makers will enter only
one car whereas the European never
stakes his chances on less than team
of three.
First to enter the list on even terms
with Europeans is the Maxwell Mo-
tor Company. This concern alrea Iy
enjoys a very large export trade aud
intends going after the foreign busi-
ness as vigorously as 1t goes after the
domestic trade.
That being the case, the Maxwell
company will meet the Europeans on
their own oround--or rather in their
own way Three racing cars designed
by Ray Harroun are now almost
ready for the test under which the
designer has guaranteed they will
make a lap G 1-2 miles) on the In
dianapolis Speedway in less than 1877
"a second faster than any car has
ever negotiated a lap on that track.
1t is a little too late for the Max
we'll Motor Company to build cars to
compete in the French Grand Prix,
but II Is limited that next year the
company will do that also. The limit
as expressed in piston displacement
for the Grand Prix is smaller than
that of any standard American car.
II the three MaXwells make a cred
table showing against the French,
German and Italians on the In
dianapolls Speedway, it is more than
likely that another team of three will
be made to conform to the European.
standard and to race in the big Euro
pean classic next year.

are cheap, but not nearly as strong as
drop forgings. wherever possible.
"At our Toledo factory we have
the largest drop forging plant in the
automobile industry. and we make all
our own dies and forgings. Because
we turn out $4,000 Overland cars in
year, we can make drop-forged parts
for a great deal less than smaller
manufacturers can buy them.
This is easily explained by the
following example: If we install a
new tool or machinery equipment in
cur plant at a cost of 100000, this
cost must be divided by $4,000 to gel
the cost per car which is 81 The
maker Of only 1000 cars annually
must divide this investment by 1000
which gives a cost of 500 per car
Il is easy to see that this Is a prohibl-
tive burden for the small maker.
in the Overland front axle we give
a good illustration of the desirability
of making our own drop-forgings. In
our plant this part is forged in a
single heat without welding, and the
entire piece, therefore, Is of uniform
strength and structure and without a
seam or flaw. The method more COM
monty employed, especially in a small
plant, is to make the I-beam axle in
two halves. Each half is subjected to
an intense heat and each must be
Ieheated when they are welding to-
gether. 1t is not difficult to see why
the axle forged in a single heat with
out welding is superior.
All the Steel Is Tested.
THE same advantage of making
our own drop-forgings is shown in
the manufacture of steering connec-
tons, control levers, crankshafts,
camshafts, gear blanks and dozens of
other parts. 1t is out of the question
because of the expense of making
dies and investing in the machinery
necessary. for a small maker to pro-
duce these parts economically. They
are absolutely necessary in car,
however for they give strength where
strength is needed, and eliminate
weight

Auto Notes


Courtesy on the Road.
A kindly feeling tending toward mu-
tual benefit would result from little
more care on the part of automobilistS
to be very courteous to drivers of horses
on the public roadway. When farmer
turns out in an accommodating manner
upon meeting an automobile, or gives
part of the road to allow an automobile
to pass from the rear, the automobile
driver should invariably thank him for
his kindness. 1t requires but little eff
fort TO do this, and it pays well in the
end.
Storage Battery Connections.
Often the unsatisfactory service OF
storage battery is due to imperfect con-
nectons. Where the battery is kept In
steel box great care is needed to keep
the terminals from touching the metal
when the lid is closed. Even an occa-
sional touch when the battery is Jared
will run the current down rapidly. The
connections should be wrapped well with
tire tape. and the metal box kept away
by packing with rubber An old inner
tube makes the best packing.
Loosen Sticking Wheel.
When a wheel on a taper axle sticks,
and you haven't any wheel puller, here
Is a way to loosen It: Run the nut off
entirely, and then run it on again with
the castellated end toward the wheel
True the other end of the nut up flusE
with the axle, letting the wheel down
onto the ground from the jack. Hit tho
nut three or four good cracks with the
hammer and the wheel will start every
time.
sIouchy Looking Streamers.
Steamers should hang so that they
may be easily read. Place a spreader
in hem across the base of the stream
err and suspend by its center This will
allow 1t to hang fiat in any position
Need of fabrication.
The locomotive engineer frequently
uses the sense of touch to determine
the need of lubrca ting material The
same rule is good in caring for an
automobile. Friction produces hear,
and the hand placed near any place
where friction may occur will give an
indication of lack of fabrication.
Strengthening Dry Cells.
Increased amperage from parry
rundown dry cells may be secured by
crowding the material near the can
bon element well down with a small
piece of wood and a hammer. This
loosens the Obstructive material from
around the carbon and permits free
chemical action The asphaltum MAJ

While the vivid lightnings were
playing about the devoted little old
San Diego motorcycle race, the storm
of unrest was not missing in the
other race, the Ell Paso one. very far.
Still, we have heard nothing to prove
that the sturdy riders mentioned in
the accompanying entry list will not
go shooting out of the Pass City this
morning on the first motorcycle race
from that place.
Rumors that the purse had not
been raised, We're very thick, and per-
haps some of the stuff about the San
Diego race got connected with the
other one. This is interesting if true.
But Chairman j. w Thompkins of the
Ell PasO race committee did make
one awful fast trip to the southside
| yesterday, in company with Referee
John Hohl, and it's said they went to
see about the money. Anyway when
John Hohl and John Thompkins go
any place together, it means some
thing of palpitating import is in the
wind
Apparently Ell Paso is all ready to
see the racers head up the Canutillo
/ hill and up the divide to the mesa
road. The race will follow absolutely
the same course as the automobile
event which starts Sunday morning
The Repuslican received informa :
ton last night that Otto Smith had
been made starter and j. H. HuXthal
chief timer, at Ell Paso.
Old Warhorse Baker is starting in
his lucky position-last. He will thus
| be enabled to catch up with his I'M
fortunate competitors and pass them
which is some satisfaction. But
the best consolation he gets out of it
is this He doesn't have to get tC
Phoenix first to win. OF course Baker
being a PhOenician, is a sort of IA
vorite here. Bill Gerig being Re
publican chap, is a sort of favor
lite with this bunch, although NJ
