very little was said about the eligi-

association together with the fact that
responsible men are now at the head

The following detailed description
! Of the construction OF and material
used IN the new light weight; Mitchell
cars which are now being shown IS
given out by o. C. Friend, general
/. sales ssnanager Of the Mitchen-Lewis
Motor Company:
Light Weight but Safety First
In the designing OF the 1915 Mitchell
models light weight was never al
lowed to oyershadow safety. ass
Light weight construction first and
always Is all In the favor Of the man
ufacturer because steel, aluminium
and all such materials are bought
and paid for by the pound, hence a
pound saved in Weight means q cor

Safety First-saiety for the driver
@safety for the passengers, and, just
as Important to us, safety to the
Mitchell name--was never sacrificed
to reduce weight Light Weight but
Safety First" was Mr.. Bates factory
watchword. Reduce weight but do
not sacrifice safety. Keep in mind
the two factors all important in the
manufacturing OF light weight car
VIZ: material and design was the
way Mr.. Bate put it.
Matertal-First comes the selection
Of the materials. Here safety and
light weight are considered on a bas-
ik OF the adaptability OF the materials
q the service expected from them.
Grades Tensile strength in steel is
shown by Its ability to keep itself
ftom being torn apart and is deter
mined by comparative tests.
yanadium Steel Used.
The average test OF plain carbon
steel is 10000 pounds-chrome nickel
steel 10000 pounds and of yanadium
steel 1900 pounds to the square
inch. In other words, vanadium steel
will resist weight or strain Of 1885,,
600 pounds to the square inch before
it will part, whereas chrome nickle
steel part at about 10000 pounds and
plain carbon steel at about $4,000
pounds.
Note the free use Of vanadium steel
in the new 1915 Mitchell light mod
els.
The front axle spindles, steering
arm, in fact the whole steering mech
anism is made of ,vanadium stella

mendous strain but the size of these

car owner will appreciate this factor
OF safety in the steering mechanism.

and all the drive shafts through which

forces are transmitted, are made of

GOOD RECORD
IS MADE BY
PAIGE CARS
ln7Seventh Annual Cactus Der.
by Run from Los Angeles
to Phoenix.

The seventh annual Cactus Derby,
run recently from Los Angeles, Cal,
| to Phoenix, Ariz., Is still a fruitful
topic of conversation in the automo-
bile industry because of the terrific
nature of the grind and sensational
events which accompanied it. When
dozen powerful and high priced cars
strew their wrcckage along the route
OF a road race 1t is apparent that the
event Is far from being a joy ride.
Officials of the Paige Motor Car
Company are not only jubilant over
the fact that their two entries finished
second and third respectively, hut
they believe that the performance of
these cars demonstrates their merits
in the most convincing and spectac-
ular manner imaginable. ~.
Several features in connection with
the Paige cars stand out and can be
briefly summarized.
The Paige entries had seen consid-
cradle service before the great race.
One had been a demonstration in Los
Angeles and the other had been used
as a pathfinder in mapping out the
new route for this years Cactus Der
by. On the other hand, the Stutz car
that won first place in the race by only
"a minutes was one. that had been
especially manufactured for the In
dianapolis 500-mile speed race Twen-
ty cars started; only eight finished.
But the most significant fact of all
was the performance of the Paige en-
tries on the last day OF the race. This
was the worst day-worse by far in
the vile nature of the roads covered
and in the character OF the weather
encountered. Yet the Paige cars, in
spite OF the conditions and the. se-
verify OF the work already done,
made their best showing on this daS
better than that of any other en-
tries-and made the fastest time os
all contestants between Prescott and
Phoenix. The third days showing,
therefore, is regarded as an especial
ly convincing demonstration OF the
cars stamina. staunchness and relia-
biiity.
In view of the facts just related and
that the event was not a one-day
dash but a grind OF 7O6 miles over the
most diflcult and dangerous Of moun-
tain roads. lit Is apparent that second!
and third positions in this race was
an achievement Of which any ,nanu.i
facturef has a license to feel proud.

manufactured decorations this year.
/; Another article formerly used in
Christmas decorations that will not
be used SO profusely this year is mis-
tletoe. Many attribute the loss of
mistletoe to the fact that the Euro
pean supply Is cut off on account Of
the war, but florists account for the
popularity Of poinsettia and kindred
adaptions this year to changing fash
ions.
Green and red crepe paper decor
atoms are being substituted for the
green festoons, used in former years.
The Scotch heather. now grown in
this country, is looming up as SER
ious rival of the poinsettia, and it is
an added feature to the new Christ

For example-Note the lower half
Of the engine crank case in the light
six and four. 1t is one piece steel
stamping weighing 10 1-2 pounds in
the light four, In any number OF cars
manufactured by our competitors this
part is made OF cast iron, heavy ana
brittle, and of equal size would weigh
exactly "a pounos. Here is saving
of a l-2 pounds by using a steel
stamping in place OF an iron casting
and the strength has not been reduce

Aluminium Crank Case,
Aluminum-As a matter OF infor-
nation you will be interested to learn
that cubic foot of aluminium weighs
1870 pounds--a cubic foot OF iron
weighs 1882 pounds--a cubic foot OF
steel weighs 1867 pounds. 81
Nearly every car manufactured has
a cast iron upper half crank case
cleverly painted to disguise is ash
aluminium.
The upper half of the crank case
in all Mitchell 1915 models is cast OF
aluminium and this casting in the light
four weighs 2 IL times this amouns
OF leo pounds and, With cast iron
lower half, these two parts weigh ga
pounds as compared with SO 1-2
pounds under the present construc..
ton. A clear gain of 100 10 pounds

weight mentioned above you will note

cause is that each one of US sets up a

in getting the State to fix a more severe
rule for the other fellow.

What Shall the Harvest Be?

Louisville Courier Journal.
Some one with talent for mathematics
has figured out that this years wheat crop
in the United States amounts to nine
bushels for every man, woman and child;
that it will make 200,000,000 barrels of
flour, or two barrels for everybody in the
country, and that it will make sixty billion
loaves of bread.
The American wheat crop is estimated
at 900 900, 600 bushels, which is abont half
the entire worlds crop of the cereal. It is
bumper production, greater by 1874, 0O0,
600 bushels than was ever grown in any
previous year. Nature has supplied the
favoring conditions which have produced a
vast inland ocean of billowy grain and the
country this year has seen no more inspir-
ing sight than the waves of wheat stirred
by the summer breezes and spreading over
wide stretches of territory throughout all
the wheat growing regions Of the United
States. Everywhere the crop has been
wonderful both in quantity and quality.
The crop here in Kentucky is no excep-
ton to the general rule. Not in many
years, if ever, has Kentucky seen wheat
crop that was so uniformly excellent. But
the echoes of the reaper scarcely have died
away and then comes cry of dissatisfac-
ton from the growers about the prices that
are being offered for the cereal. Seventy
| five cents, the farmers say, is not enough
and some of them are talking of holding
| their wheat while others are threatening to
feed it to the hogs. The buyers, on the
contrary, say that the whole country is full
of wheat and that it is rank foolishness to
look for dollar wheat in the face of such
unprecedented production.
The question of price remains to be set
tied by the buyers and sellers, it requiring
two to make bargain in selling wheat as
in other acts of barter, and sale. What is
of present and future interest to the con-
sumer is the price ofthe 290, 00O, 900 barrels
of flour and the sixty billion loaves of bread
that are anticipated by the mathematician.
Il the buyers can get this magnificent
wheat crop for seventy-five cents, will the
consumer be able to buy flour at proper
tomato reduction? Ifwheat is to be cheap,
| flour should be cheap also.
