WILL CUT COST OF
AUTOMOBILE FUEL

The test Of John Andrus' new sub
stitute for gasoline as fuel for auto
mobiles has resulted In It's endorse
ment by F. z. Edwards, OF Chicago
technical representative OF the con
test board American Automobile as
ISOLATION after a thousand-mile run
on the speedway at Indianapolis at
an average speed OF 55.25 miles per
hour.
After the test the engine was In
perfect condition, there being no
material carbonization, as was feared
would be the result, on account OF the
large water percentage Of the new
fluid.
The. ingredients OF the fuel are so
unusual as to attract nationwide at
tention. 1t n made OF SO per cent
rain-watef or distilled water, with the
balance dry chemicals and fluid chem
icals. Just what are the ingredients
of the chemicals Is the inventors
secret. but according to the official
test just conducted, the new material
performs all the functions OF gasoline
in the propulsion OF automobiles. It's
cheapness Is It's great recommends
ton, for II Is reported that II may be
manufactured for two cents a gallon.
John Andrus, inventor OF the fluid,
Is Portuguese sailor, who was born
on the island Of Madeira. He came
to the United States about eight years
ago. He is credited with being the
inventor OF a process for hardening
armor plate, for which the United
States paid large price.

NEW SAXON SIX is
5-PASSENGER CAR

It~can now be stated on the author.
fly OF Lawrence Moore, director of
sales, that the new car which the Sax.
on Motor Co. has had on the road FOR
the past six months and which will be
exhibited at the New York show, Is
of six-cylinder construction. Mr..
Moore, when the question was put TO
him, also admitted that the new Sax
on car will be a flve-passenger model.
but further than this no details are
now obtainable.
The definite admission by Mr..
Moore TO the effect that the new Sax
on will be six" has aroused even
more interest than ever before be-
cause OF the success OF the Saxon
company with lightweight, low-priced
cars OF high efficiency
Along with the confirmation OF the
rumor about the new car comes the
word from Mr.. Moore that the success
OF their four-cylinder roadster ha.
prompted the Saxon company to ar
range for greatly increased output o.
this model for the coming season.

SAVING SECONDS
In AUTO MAKING
Man With Stop Watch Con-
! stantly on Duty at Stude-
baker Plants

Splitting seconds on the time re-
CURED for automobile production is
a development of scientific mangfac-
turing which, In some OF the big De-
troit plants, has been brought To so
systematic an application as to AFFECT
radically the selling price OF the pro-
duct, through the saving OF labor in
yolved in the various processes.
The man with the stop-watch roams
about through the plants OF the stu
debaker corporation. Unobtrusively
he times 10 the fraction OF second
the various operations. Those which,
10 his mind, imply the waste OF a sim
gle moment become the subject or
thought, elaboration and conference.
Changes In methods are determined
on. These changes may imply new
equipment They may even demand
the designing OF an entirely new ma
chine tool but this Is unhesitatingly
done, II the expense will save Tune.
for seconds become minutes and grow
into weeks, in the process OF year 8
continual operation.
One OF the Studebaker men stood
for more than an hour not long ago,
watching highly-specialized machine
mill to mathematical smoothness the
face OF an aluminium casting. The
entire tool was enclosed In big
sheet-iron box, for flow OF oil was
being constantly played on the part
where the cutting was in progress.
The man with the watch stood by
while the workman opened the door
OF the box, took out the completed
al cd In al
the tool. He noted that the time dur
! ing which the tool stood idle was ex-
actly equal to that employed by the
milling operation. While the tool was
at work, the tender stood by with
nothing TO do.
The efficiency man went away to
report. That day the order went out
for a duplicate OF this milling ma
chine. In a few days it was set up
alongside the machine In use. The
tool had become twin.
With one days practice, the work
man in charge learned to load one or
these machines, while the other was
at work. The tool and the man were
constantly busy. Production time was
cut in half.
In some departments, one Stude-
baker workman tends six machines.
Labor cuts of this sort enabled Stu
debaker to materially reduce selling
price last August. At the same time
wages have been increased, due to
the increased earning power OF the
work men. The reduction OF the num-
Der OF employees enabled Studebaker
to centralize the work in the hands
Of the most competent When the
corporations new production record
was established in September, II was
done by force OF employees only 90
per cent as great as the one which
had established the best prior mark.

FRENCH ARMY GOES TO
WAR IN MOTOR CARS

Motoring to war" Is the way
John l. Poole, European export
manager of the Hupp Motor Car Co.,
who is In Paris, France, describes the
maneuvres of the French army.
"On reaching Paris, last Sunday"
writes Mr. Poole, IT still found quite
number Of taxicabs running about
and a few motor buses. However,
there are more of the old horse-driyen
cabs In evidence than have been seen
In late years Conductors Of the mo-
tor buses are women, who seem TO
perform their service in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
Yesterday / walked through the
Champs Elysees and Avenue Grande
Armee, where all the best motor car
display rooms are located. but they
are all closed tight now, and take on
very desolate aspect. On the streets
you see many motor car ambulances
carrying the wounded to the hospitals.
II Is only recently that the govern
ment has commenced to send the
wounded to Paris, and I am very sor-
ry to say there are large numbers
coming In daily. A very peculiar
thing Ia reported from the hospitals.
The majority of the wounds are In
the hands. arms and limbs-therefore
not necessarily dangerous.
