Three Hundred Overlands
Playing Big Part in Small
Nations Resistance
Against Invaders.

Three hundred Overland cars have
been one of the important factors in
the remarkable resistance being made
by the Belgians in the present war.
These cars practically made possible
the successful withdrawal from Ant
werp when it was believed that the en-
tire army would be taken upon the fall
of the city.
The cars were purchased shortly after
the actual opening OF hostillties from
the stock Of the WHY'S Overland Linn
tied, of London, by a commission OF
army motor experts, headed by Colonel
Jammott, chief engineer of the Belgian
artillery. Fortunately, a large ship
ment had Just reached London, and the
cars we're available for immediate de-
livery.
On the day the order was re-
ceived a prominent London body manu-
facturer started the construction Of
bodies for military uee, using the specl-
fications laid down Sy the Belgian en-
gineers. As time was urgent, an extra
force Of men was kept in the factory
night and day until the entire allot-
ment had been finished. Under this
pressure the English Sorkmen required
but six hours TO turn out complete
body.
Together with the cars, the bodies
were shipped 10 Antwerp aboard a
Channel boat chartered especially for
the purpose. Accompanying them were
ten Overland expert mechanicians from
the London establishment and score
of men from the body shop.
On delivery at Antwerp the boxed
automobiles were Immediately loaded
upon fatcars for transportation TO the
government piers. VII ch already had
been converted into an enormous tenn
porary garage. As soon as they had
been unpacked, the mechanlclans as
sembled the separate parts, while a
large corps of Belgian soldiers started
the work of fitting the bodies under the
direction of the factory men.
The great stress accompanying mod
ern warfare, and the rapldlty with
which big things have been accom-
puished since the start of the ar, are
shown by the fact that within six days
after the first order was placed the
three hundred cars. altered and adapt
ed 10 military service, had been official
lv turned over TO the Belgian army, to-
gether with a proper assortment OF
duplicate parts.
he continual rush of the campaign
has left neither the time nor the facili-
ties TO care for the cars, which have
been forced to withstand harsh treat
ment. The military authorities are alb
solutely ruthless in the use OF the We
hicles in their service. The cars re-
main in the open, rain or shine, and

TRAIN SERVICE TO

New Haven Railroad Lays Plans
for Handling Monster
Crowd.

Anticipating the greatest passenger
traffic III single day on its lines, the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Is laying its plans carefully
for the handling of the great crowds
that Will go TO New Haven next Satur-
day TO witness the football struggle
between Yale and Harvard.
The new concrete stadium at New
Haven will be filled with about 10000
persons when the game begins, and it
is estimated that $4,000 Of these will
make the journey by rail. The traffic
officials Of the New Haven Railroad
nave arranged their schedule in such
manner as not 10 interfere with the
regular trains, and at the same time
transport the football enthusiasts with
swiftncss and comfort.
The service from New York City will
consist Of twenty-five special trains,
he first leaving the Grand Central Sta
lion at $40 a. m. Fifteen specials will
run from Boston and other points, the
Boston service starting az a. m All
regular trains 10 and from New Haven
on that day will have extra equipment
TO their full capacity. Twenty thou
sand persons will be carried from New
York, ten thousand from Boston, and
i've thousand from other points.
No private cars will be moved from
New York while this schedule is in
effect, and there will be no switching
done az New Haven. trains ordinarily
dropping cars there carrying them to
Hartford, Bridgeport or other points.
Yard telephones have also been in
stalled at New Haven, and special cleo
trio lights for the comfort of the home
going crowd.
In order that everything may 90 off
as smoothly as possible, the officials

A FlRESTONE VICTORY
Captured Nearly All the Hon.
ors in Desert Races.

One of the most remarkable tire vic
tories recorded this year was that OF
the Firestone product in the grinding
desert races from Lost Angeles and III
Paso, Tex, to Phoenix, Arlz., last week.
In the former Firestones were the
equipment on the first, second and third
cars, while on the run from FL Paso the
winning car carried this make.
In al the years racing there is moth
ing quite like these desert contests for
bringing out the best qualities in driy-
ers, machines and equipment. From
Los Angeles TO Phoenix is 696 miles;
from FL Paso to the same city is 533
miles. In each case much OF the route
is over bad roads or no roads at all !;
streams have to be forded dozens OF
times, and in places the wheels sink so
deep in the sand that it is necessary to
dig them out. The crossing OF noun
tain range ADDS % he variety (. Goa
ditions 20 be overcome.
In a telegram to the local representa-
tives of the Firsetone company the
news was conveyed that only one TIRE
change had been necessary on Old-
fields Stutz, the winner OF the Los
Angeles section Of the race.

SHOW Space IN DEMAND
Many Exhibitors at the Palace
viii Be Restricted.

In view of the fact that there will be
no great annual automobile shows IN
London, Paris, Brusse or Beri.n, IN
tere in the tvo big American shows
IN New York and Chicago next Janu-
ary has increased TO large de-
gree. Like many other lines Of goods,
The "Made in America" automobile IS
practically the only new model that the
prospective buyer can obtain. Tor I'M
portations are necessarily restricted.
With every prospect Of a bigger and
better show than ever before held, man
ufacturers Of cars and accessories are
seeking more space for this winters
shows than at any previous one. The
motorcycle manufacturers have made
similar requests, and the task of
squeezing additional space out Of the
four floors of the mammoth Grand Cen
tral Palace is difficult one.
Each week concerns which have never
before exhibited their products at ma
tional shows are besleging the man
agement to allot them space. AS has
been announced, the New York show,
which is to take place in the Grand
Central Palace, January 10 9, will
have ninety-two exhibitors of complet-
ed cars and several hundred displays
of accessories.

LiGHTNESS WITH SAFETY
Krit Cars Are Examples OF
Modern Auto Practice.

"When there is so much talk about
low cost of operation" says W. E. De
Lamater, the Krit dealer in this terri
tory, "it is interesting to note that our
engineers have worked on the idea OF
economy in Krit cars for six years.
Records of from twenty to twenty-five
miles on a gallon of gasolene are com
monty made. One reason why such
mileages are possible is that Krit cars
are light and the parts are perfectly
co-ordinated. With lightness, however,
there is no sacrifice in strength or
durability.
"Just how far a car can go on a
gallon Of gasolene is becoming of more
interest and Importance TO automobile
buyers each year. Discriminating pur-
chasers are not only looking at the
first cost, but also at the cost a mile
after the car is bought"

Change of Touring for
Closed Body Will Add
10 Comfort.
AUTO is SENSITIVE
IN COLD WEATHER
Hot Air Connection for Car
buretor and Proper Anti-Freez-
ing Solution Are Necessary.

Winter weather brings important
motoring problems declared c. IL.
Larson, of the Oldsmobile Company, OF
New York. you cannot ignore them;
you must meet them. Primarily, own
ers of touring cars, expecting to drive
during the cold season, should add a
closed body TO their equipment, thus
insuring warmth and comfort.
THE demand for town cars has in
creased so rapidly in recent years that
il has resulted in many dealers and
manufacturers giving special atten-
ton TO the development of closed
bodies of all styles and at all prices
from 500 up.
There is now such a great variety
that the needs of every one, both as
to style and price, can he filed. The
patterns range from the two-passenger
cabriolet TO the large limousine. Spe
cial features demanded for service in
the metropolitan district can be en-
bodied in the bodies built on speciiica
tons.
Furthermore, the winter motorist
must realize that the car of steel and
wood. leather and rubber, is sensi-
tive creation, influenced by the frosts
Of winter. Perhaps the self-starter
will spin the motor only at so revolu
tons minute, whereas in summer it
will turn il half as fast again.
Your motor will not start as well
on cold day; you may reduce your
battery charge; the load of electricity
for the lights is much heavier than in
summer-in a word, you are operating
under vastly different conditions.
"lf your carburetor is not fitted with

the exhaust you may not get as good
results from your fuel as you should.
Even gasolene is affected by the cold.
1t will not flow so rapidly through the
nozzle of the carburetor. Half an hour
after starting the temperature will
have risen from 40 TO 1875 degrees UNI
der the bonnet. 1t is a big jump in so
short a time.
"Some carburetors have valves to
shut off the supply of cold air and
thus put q greater pull on the gaso-
lene. This is good. Others take an
other method, making a larger open
ing for the gasolene to flow through
for starting and for a few minutes,
perhaps half an hour, after starting.
"Be kind to your car and it will
serve you well. 1t is a creature Of
weather and temperature. Give it a
little consideration. Do not forget TO
make sure that the anti-freezing com
pound you use this winter is the one
recommended by the maker of your
car. Be warned now that the use Of
some other mixture, well Endorsed by
a friend, might work havoc with your
cars radiator and circulating system.
"If you are reluctant to lay up your
car during the winter, jack up all
wheels and rest the axles on low,
padded sawbucks. The tires may be
kept inflated. but il is best that they
should be thoroughly clesnsed. Also,
drain the radiator.
an this way you will be taking the
best of care of your machine, and
when spells of warm weather come
you will not find it difficult to get out
and under way. As a matter Of fact, in
a climate like this there is no excuse
for putting a car away for the winter"

new DODGE CAR
TO BE SHOWN
Motorists Anxiously Await
Product of Big De-
trOit Firm.

The new Dodge Brothers car, which
has become a matter of much interest
to the motoring public since it was an
nounced months ago that an automo-
bile would be marketed by the big De-
troit parts concern, will be seen in New
York City tomorrow. 1t will be placed
on public view in the salesroOms of the
Colt-Stratton Company, metropolitan
representatives of Dodge Brothers, at
Broadway and 57th ST.
simultaneously in the leading cities
CT the country the new car will go on
exhibition. II is safe to say that hard
" any new car will attract more per-
sons than this, and the members and
staff of ne Colt-Stratton Company are
prepared TO greet hundreds of visitors
from tomorrow on.
There will be present at the opening
view of the car Charles w. Matheson,
district manager for the metropolitan
section, and George c. Hubs, assistant
manager of sales Of Dodge Brothers
factory. The store will be attractively
decorated and every effort will be made
TO insure to all who visit the place a
chance 70 make a satisfactory inspec-
tion of the car.
1t has been said often that hardly
any new model could have aroused
greater interest than this car. Dodge
Brothers have long been known in the
automobile trade as parts makers.
Parts manufactured by them have gone
into more than 100000 cars now in use.
When they announced their decision to
make a car for themselves there was a
great rush Of automobile dealers to be
come their agents. and more than 1900
o. foP 30 pD-
ceived at the factory.
Careful selection of the best in every
territory was thus made possible foT
Dodge Brothers, and their choice Of the
Colt-Stratton Company is regarded by
members Of the local firm as a decided
compliment TO them.
The specifications and price of the
car have just been given out, but a
large number of orders have been
booked in the last few weeks by the
Colt-Stratton Company.
In bringing out the car Dodge
Brothers have pursued a plan different
from the announcement of any other
new model ever manufactured. Instead
of giving out a set of specifications
Immediately il was decided what car to
build, they merely let il be known that
a car was TO be built, and decided TO
withhold the detailed information from
the public until the car was actually
on exhibition in the salesrooms.
Bv this method il was assured that
nothing would be promised for the car
in detail or performance that was not
actually in the machine. and there
would be nothing to explain away or "a
change. Public interest in the car has
therefore been greatly stimulated.

COUNTRY CLUB FOR
NEWSPAPER MEN
Ambitious Project Grows
Out of Successful Golf
Organization.

After several years of discussion and
consideration, the New York Newspaper
Golf Club has taken tangible steps
toward establishing a. country club for
editors, artists, mechanical workers
and all others connected in any manner
with the business Of publishing mag
azine, newspaper or other periodical.
The plan is TO accumulate fund Of
$4,000 by subscription. with view
to creating a club of this sort. and
even at this early date something like
half the sum already has been sub
scribed. In the announcement the
club officials set forth their plans IN
the following manner:
"The club will be for every news
paper worker who loves the open, who
feels the need Of a place in the sun
shine where he may have his golf, ms
tennis, his baseball. his trap shooting,
and where he may lie on the grass
and doze or MI his eyes with the green
of the trees without feeling that he IS
doing so on sutferance. trespasser
on other peoples property.
"All this with club quarters commo-
dious enough TO house those who wish
20 make the club a summer residence,
a place where the tired worker on va
cation may take his wife for one or
two weeks, and all within easy access
to the city, so that if n member have
but two hours of leisure ne may en-
Joy il at his country club"
20 stock
will be issued at $50 share, each
share 20 entitle the holder TO full
membership in the club without fur
Their payment of initiation fee, and TO
be paid for at the rate of 80 cents q
week. No member will be permitted
TO subscribe for more than twenty
shares. 1t is declared that when
$4,000 is on hand and 200 member
enrolled the success of the project IS
assured.
IL is planned TO administer the fund
through a governing body OF five men
elected by the subscribers, and this
body will select one of its members to
act as ecretary-treasurer. 1t is as
serted that benefit societies, vacation
clubs and the like have been conducted

prising claims for their proteges, a
study of the American Automobile As

that Ralph De Palma is the automobile

that De Palma has won more big road
races than any driver in the history
of automobile racing. having nine vic
