Indians on the Wsrpath


Mexico City, Jan. 19.-The Serrano
Indians in the state Of Puebla, who
boast that they never have been con-
quered by any ruler of Mexico, are
again on the warpath. Their revolt
is said to be under the direction of
adherents Of Carranza, many Of whom
have recently proceeded to the south
of the federal capital.
The movement of the Serranos is
distinct from that of the followers Of
Emiliano Zapata in the neighboring
state of Morelos.
The Serranos in Puebla a few days
ago captured mule train Of ammu-
milton from zapata's forces.
The serrano Indians recognize only
the chieftainship Of Juan Lucas, on
whom Porfirio Diaz, when dictator,
conferred the rank of general in the
regular larmy. Diaz, after failing to
subdue Lucas and his followers, orib-
ed them to submit, givlag each man
a rifle and a supply Of ammunition, as
we'll as a small sum of money as the
price Of peace. The late President
Madero continued the governmental
subsidy to Lucas, but the present adj
ministration under Huerta has failed
to provide the Indians with funds.
The revolt is said to threaten COM
munication between the federal capi-
tai and Vera Cruz.

reserve bank After Mr.. Forgan had
suggested the territory covering the
Dakotas, Montana, part Of Kentucky

McAdoo said:
Chicago seems to ask for territory

A WONDERFUL CAR.

That every claim made for the Mo- e-Knight is borne out blythe per- formance of these cars in actual 11se is amply demonstrated by enthusias- tic letters from dealers and owners, received by the Moline Automobile Company.
 2 "The Moline-Knight which we are using as a. demonstration is certainly a wonderful car,'' writes G. M. Flint. Sales Manager of the Benrich Motor Company, Los Angeles, California
 we have driven the Moline Knight 3,658 miles. without an adjustment of any kind. We have never touched the spark plugs nor the carburetor since it's arrival at Los Angeles. Show me a poppet valve motor that can be driven to the limit of its power every day for 3,65s, miles without adjust ment.
 The tires do not appear to have been driven over 200 miles and we are certainly going to break a record for tire mileage. The oil consumption averages about 400 miles per gallon and the gasoline consumption is be- tween 1 6 and 1 8 miles.
 sIn view of the various work a denonstrator is called upon to do we consider this an unusual record for a 50 horsepower motor.''

$40, ,ooo IN AUTO TRUCKS.

Marshall Field and: Company, of Chicago, have bought 12 more Pack ard three-ton trucks. to add to- their equipnent.s This addition to the Field fleet represents in itself ans inyestTne mt of more than $4 o 50o0. Since Decein- Der 1908Athe Chicago stores officials have purchased 21 Packard trucks, the latest purchase making a, total of thirty-three. = E. F
 The present order is the thirteenth repeat order for Packards.
 This company uses Packard three ton trucks for freight and furniture hauling but especially for. hauling route trunks from the retail store to the sub-d delivery stations from which parcel deliveries are made.
 The trucks are in service practically every day in the year, working 10 hours a day and making an average of from 40 to 50 miles a day. During the holiday rush season, December 1 to 25, they work double shifts. Two CT ews are used and the length of daily service is from Is to 22 hours.
 The oldest Packard in the e4service Of thev Field Company. is known as No. SOP. It has been at work for them since Januaryy 1, 1909 and in that time has travelled more than 40, 900 miles.
 Packards are the backbone of the Field delivery system. In addition to the heavy duty trucks a number of re- built Packard motor carriage chassis are used for light delivery.
 There are 13o Packard trucks being operated by 36 department stores in 20 cities. Among the larger owners is John Wanamaiker; owner of stores in New York and Philadelphia

THE 1915 VELH.

The mileage obtained from automo- bile tires depends largely upon the way the car is driven, and the load the tires carry.
 In the veIie for 1915. weight has been worked out and ve1fe Engineers sort of way. Notably light weight with superior strength has been se- cured, by the proper use of high grade materials. Light weight, strong alum mum where some cars still use heav- fer and cheaper materials, Bulk and weight is avoided and superior strength is secured.
 strength no longer commands atten- ton. The buying public is con vinced that the light weight car is the only satisfactory car, and the buying public must be judge and ajury.
 On the Velie 45 and 50 Horse Pow CT models this year tires are 27x4 k inches. This in the eyes of most man ufacturers is much larger than is nec- essary to carry the weight of this car On the rearj non-skids are used, which will have a. tendency to eliminate the use of chains.
 On account of the strain coming at the same points and on account of their being too tight where chains are used the rubber is quickly cut as the wheels revoIves In order to in crease the mileage, Velie Engineers i have placed non-skid tires on their 1915 cars with the view of edinninat- ing tire wear as much as possible. i The lesser load the tires are requir- ed to carry result on the average of al least 1000 more miles than from other cars of the same size using smaller tires.
 Tires should always be kept infat- ] ed at the proper pressuresand all cuts

I norance or thou oIghtlessness, and by ex- ] ercising a little caution an automobile
 owner may prevGnt the loss of a val
 uab1e car. -
 By way of. suggestion: Tn starting Isup ap engine the arburetor may be Iaccidenta1ly flooded and a backfre may occur. A loss may. be axerted by turning off the gasoline feed as quick lly as possible. allowing the engine to
 run The gasoline supply being turn ed off, there is not much danger of the fire spreading and it usually burns itself out. ! Freque ent cleaning of the drip pan may prevent a fire, as oil and gasoline
 in 1t make, excellent material for flames to feed on.
 A driver lshonId be.certain that the control lever for the gasoline supply is fully closed while the car is stand
 ing Many fires start from leaks
 when cars are standing still A leaky 1 carburetors or gasoline pipe is danger ous. Gasoline vaportzcS quickly and a l lighted match thrown on the ground
 or thirty feet away may ignite the va
 DOT and cause trouble. Any leak in
 gasoline system should be attended to at once. Tn case of leaky pipe or
 gasoline connection, common yellow
 soap should 9bet used, which will stop
 the leak until. aacar can be taken to
 a repair shop. The car should go to
 a shop for repairs without delay. The gasoline tank should not be ill.,
 ed when lamps are aIight, if lights other than electric be in use. Snlok- ing should not 4be allowed around a
 car when the gasoline tank is being
 filled. Repairs should not be made
 at night by open lamp light. The
 practice of allowing engine to run
 when car is unattended is bad, as the carburetor may be defective and a fire
 may occur.
 z If a fire extinguisher is carried on
 an automobile it's location must be handy if it is to be of service. If kept in an inaccessible place where it can not be reached when wanted, it is of no value. Flour will smother a gaso- line ire and a small bag of it if kept
 where accessible will many times put
 out a small blaze.

A NEW EXHIBTT.

'"rherers a new exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute that's attracting a great deal of attention from visitors to the@sNationa1 Museum" said Geo. w. Peck of The Peck & Lines Co.,, dis trtbutors in this territory for the Haynes, Americas First Car. cit is of f1cial1y known as Exhibit Number 56S6O and consists of a complete Haynes six-cynnders unit power plant and has been given a position at the side of, the original Haynes 'shorseless carriage" where the striking contrast shows the remarkable improvement that has been made in motor design and constructfon during the past Htwenty-two years.
 s%The most important features of the power plant are shown clearly and omprehensively by having sections cut away from the various parts, so that the visitors to the Institute are enabled to see the mechanical con struction, and the relation of the com ponent devices. ''On the Tight. sid of the engine. .etfe e intake and exhaust mauifolds are shown in their natural position. 4 full vertical section of the Stromberg carburetor gives a good idea, of how the gasoline is mixed with the air and supplied to the cylinders The Leece- Neville generator has it's casing cut away to give a view of the windings
 
 been cut into the crankcase to disclose the crankshaft construction, and the oil reservoir. The transmission gears are also shown In this manner.
 ssMost of the electrical equipment is showHy clearly on the left side of the motor Here an Interesting feature is the full vertical section of the Amer ican Sinnuns high tension, dual mag neto. A half ssecti lon has been rernov- ed from the rear. cylinder. and the spis- ton as well, to give a glimpse of the interior construction. A large por- ton of the Leece-Nevi1Ie Starting mo- tor casing has. been cut away. The cover plate on the switch controlling the starting motor has been replaced with a glass cover to display the method of completing the circuit from the battery to the motor. A skeleton selector switch is mouonted at the rear qf the transmission case instead of it's usual position oIl the steering wheel The electric gear shifting mechanism is made visible by using 6. glass plate for the top cover plate on the transmission.
 '"rhis exhibit of the Haynes power plant is very interesting indeed and we'll serves as a monument to the Haynes ingenuity and progress.''

HOW GRAPHITE STOPS SMOKING

A great many motorists wonder why graphite used in the crank case will eliminate the smoke nuisance Sm oking is caused by an excessive amount of oil getting by the piston rings into the explosive chamber. where it is burned. By the judicious use of motor graphite mixed in small proportions in the crank case, about a, teaspoonful to the gallon of oil '' the graphite is said to fill in the pores of the metal and finally places a. veneer over the entire surface, increasing the compression, and by so doing prevents an excessive amount of oil getting by into the explosive chamber It also eliminates friction, and of course the increased compression increases the efficiency of the engine.

GREAT BRITAIN IN LINE.

The postoffice department of GreaN Britain has purchased twenty motor cycles to use an experiment for de- Hvering mail in the rural communities And it is predicted that in less than a, year the horse will be entirely replac- ed by the motorcycle for postal de- livery service. America has long ap- preciated the value of the two-wheel- CT in the rural districts. and there is hardly a postoffice in the United States from which rural carriers go out, but what one or more of the car riers ride. a motorcycle.
