New Records Likely To Be
Set on Board Track in
Grand Central
Palace.

For the purpose Of demonstrating
the possibilities Of the modern electric
vehicle, both of the pleasure car and
motor truck types, the New York Elec..
tric Vehicle Association has perfected
plans for the running Of q series Of
mileage tests during the Electrical
Exposition and Motor Show at Grand
Central Palace from October to II.
These tests will be run on the board
track, which is laid out each year on
the third gallery of the big, building,
for the purpose Of showing electric
vehicles in action.
One Of the tests will be for the
greatest mileage on a single charge Of
the battery. It is open to all types,
but will probably be contested by run
abouts, with one or two possible en-
tries Of light delivery vehicles. The
present record is said to be 244.7
miles, made on the streets of Gleve-
land in 1911. The road record is 176
miles, made recently in a run from
Boston to New York.
A second. test provides for con-
tinuous day and night run throughout
the ten days Of the show. This is to
be accomplished by having two bat
teries, to be used alternately, or by
giving one battery the required num-

Sales in August 800 Per Cent
More Than During
Same Month a
Year Ago.

Twenty thousand six hundred and
thirty-eight Ford cars were sold during
the month Of August, this year. !. This
is not a production figure, but the act,
uai sales made during the month, On
the other hand, It does not represent
orders received, for the company Is still
thousands Of cars in srrear Of orders
received. 7
These figures are extremely signif.
cant. They mean that the sales for
August, 1914, are almost 800 per cent
more than in the same month"; last
year, when the company sold, in round
numbers, 7,547 cars. When it Is re.
membered that August is always the
lightest month Of the year in sales the
figures take on a new meaning. The
real significance in this larger volume
of sales lies in the fact that item
courages the faith that the Ford Motor
Company will reach its goal Of 100000
cars for this year.
When the company announced the
new prOft-sharing plan whereby the

HARD RUN ON HIGH GEAR
White Mountain Trip Shows
New Marmon at It's Best.

One Of the most remarkable hirh
gear tests ever attempted has Just
heen successfully completed by new
1915 Marmon Il, six.cylinder car.
driven by Frank E. Wing, the New
England distributor Of Marmon cars,
vho last week made a s55-mile trip
flom Boston to Breton Woods, in the
White Mountains, and return in IS
hours and 30 minutes, or at an average
ate of speed Of 33 miles an hour after
dedueting time for stops.
The striking feature was not SO
much the speed maintained as the fact
that the speed lever had been sealed
and locked on high gear by a justice
Of the peace, The cars passengers
G. D. Washburn, w. r. Stanton and J..
I. Sullivan-haye signed affidavits
that the feat was actually accom-
Tlished.
The start was made from Boston
last Wednesday and the route was by
way Of Newburypoft, Portsmouth,
Rochester, Ossipee Valley and the
Conways TO IntervRle. Crawford Notch
was the real test. Here there is a
steady grade, ending with the famous
Tug-of-Wsr Hill, about half q mile in
length, with sharp pitches and water
breaks. This part of the road is also
very narrow, One Of the passengers
in describing this part Of the run
says:
''For a stretch Of about 100 feet
there is a bit of level. Mr.. Wing
opened the throttle and the car shot
phead and the struggle was on. Up
and up the car went, the exhaust rat
cling out warning. Around curve,
over a short bridge, around another
ledge of rock, past three cars stalled
on the road, the Marmon climbed.
''Half the distance was covered with
cut fslteTing, but the hardest part was
ahead. Over another little bridge the
car few and again raced upward. A
sharp curve and right ahead was the
last grade. Easing the machine a frac-
ton of a second. Mr.. Wing gave full
power, and over the top it climbed, and
the purpose of the trip was achieved"

. NEW LEWIS CAR IS HERE
Win Be Placed on View To.
morrow BY Stewart COMPANY.

Motor car enthusiasts will have an
opportunity tomorrow to inspect a
brand new make Of ear-the Lewis
"si&"-about which much has been
heard in the last few months. The
Lewis, which is built by the L. P. C.
Motor Company, Of Racine, Wis, will
be handled here by the Stewart Auto
mobile Company, on West 9Th st.
The Lewis is named after William
Lewis, one Of Racine's wealthiest men
and one Of the pioneer manufacturers
Of motor vehicles In this country. As
ISOLATED with Mr.. Lewis are Rene
Petard and James Cram, the for
mer the designer Of the car and the
latter the sales manager Of the COM
pany, both we'll known throughout the
country.
The Lewis Is made in only one
model, with q six.cylinder monobloc
motor 81 by inches. The motor Is
of the L head type, all moving parts
being fully Enclosed, with the hood
made easily demountable for conven-
fence in inspecting and cleaning.
The car is said to be not only fast
but a wonderful hill climber, owing
to the low speed pulling power Of the
motot, due to its long stroke. The
fabrication Is both by force and splash.
The oil is positively fed to every part
of the engine, clutch and transmission
from a reservoir constantly replen-
ished by the fywheel, which performs
the Office Of pump.

MODERN CAR LoNGLIVED
Apperson Nearly Perfect After
$4,000 Miles.

Harry V. Roome, an Apperson owner
living il Los Angeles, pays tribute to
the mechanical efficiency of the modern
motor car. He has driven his machine
more than $4,000 miles, and during that
period received splendid service. The
adjustments made during that time
were very few and of minor Importance,
Being Of a mechanical turn of mind
he decided q short time ago to- take
his car TO pieces and ascertain for him
self the amount of wear on the various
parts and the concition Of the bear
ings, brake lining, steering gear and
other units.
His investigation proved a surprise.
The car was almost as good as new.
He found that the rear axle bearings
were in perfect order, and this was also
true of the steering gear. The clutch,
he says, was not touched during the
first 81 300 miles of travel, and then
the only thing necessary to be done
was to refine a bearing.

PATENT REVOCATION
A POOR REMEDY
Suspension Would Hold Only
During Period of War, Which
May End Very Quickly.

Reports from Great Britain show that
the motor trade has been rather hard
hit by the war, and that production has
been greatly curtailed in anticipation
of a much lighter demand for cars
for some time to come, especially OF
the high priced types 80 common to
the British industry.
A curious situation has also arisen
with regard to the magnetic business,
which has practically all been con-
trolled By German companies, WIN
Bosch, Of Stuttgart, the big leader IN
the supply.
This concern practically swept all
its rivals out of the market more than
a year ago, aI made the manufacture
Of mRgnetos for motor car uses utter
~ uninviting to British electrical
firms.
Although the war not merely cuts
out the source of magnetic supply, but
makes it illegal for the British branch
to secure any more from Stuttgart,
the British motor car manufacturer is
not really in danger Of being unable
to secure supplies, because the
recent acquisition of the business
and plant of the Rushmore people Of
Detroit by the Bosch company-ot
course, through the medium of legal
" constituted American company
will enable a plentiful supply for the
British market to be maintained.
But the British motor manufacturer
is naturally disposed at this juucture
to look around for an acceptable Brit.
ish made magnetic to take the place OF
the Bosch. There is reason to believe
that there is a certainty Of this de-
mand being satisfied, but the motoring
public has q profound and we'll mer-
tied confidence in the Bosch design
and form of construction, and the
motor car manufacturers, too, would
have more confidence in British
made magnetic operating on these pat
ents, perhaps, than in any other type.
AS a result there is q demand for
the revocation of the Bosch patents in
order to admit of this being done; but
as q suspension of the British rights
of the German patentees under this
act could only hold good for the period
during which a condition of war be-
tween the two countries endures, there
is little inducement for any firm to
embark upon such a legalized IN
frinRement.
If the war ended inside Of six
months the enterprise would not be
profitable one as matters stand, for
the royalty then payable to the Bosch
company would be so much handicap
as to cause a struggle between bust
ness and sentiment.
1t thus will be seen that the power to
confiscate the alien enemy's patent
rights in time of war is not quite so
practical a measure of defence as 1t
appears or was intended to be-
Whether it would be wise to carry
its operation beyond the war period
or In other ways protect the nome
manufacturers are matters Tor experts
to decide.

Increase Showns .te
in Sale of Ford Cars

buyers Of Ford cars between August 1
of this year and August /, s191b. were
to receive rebate OF, from $40 TO $50,
in addition TO an imnediatei reduction
In price, provided 100000 cars were
sold within that period. there was much
doubt expressed that such large sales
could be attained. That the Ford COM
pany knew what IL was about and was
not lacking in conservatism or SINGER
ity, is proved by these August sales.
To increase ithe sales! OF the dullest
month by 300 per cent indicates that
the demand is present for the 100000
Ford cars, for IL August jumps that
much what will happen wheprthe sales
really get under way in the real selling
months.
The excellent conditioned Ford busi-
ness is not due to sudden expansion in
any particular direction, but results
from an advance all along the line. In
some sections of the country there has
been, as Is we'll known, falling on in
motor car sales. In these sections. the
Ford has more than held it's own. Thus
in California, where Ford sales for
merly represented one-third Of the
total automobile sales of the year, they
now represent One-half Of total sales.
OF course the announcement Of the
new prices and the new profit-shartng
rlan for owners had its effect in slim
ulating August business, but the great
est stimulant for Ford sales is the
$4,000 Ford cars now in service and
which are TO be met with on every
highway in the world. -.
