Trade Excursion On July 9Th

With view to meeting and becom-
ing better acquainted with the busi-
ness people of nearby Maryland and
Pennsylvania towns the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce will conduct
an automobile trade extension ex-
cursion Thursday, July 8. The route
for the trip has been selected and the
towns to be visited include the follow
ing: Marshallton, Newark, Elkton,
North East, Bay View, Zion, Calvert,
Chrome, Barnsley, Oxford, Forestville,
Jennersville, West Grove, Avondale,
Toughkenamon and Kennett Square.
Fully 80 automobile loads of trade
boosters are expected when the ex-
cursion comes here July 8.
The Chamber of Commerce conducts
several of these trade excursions each
summer and they have proved an eff
fective means of having the Whining
ton merchants and business men meet
the people of the towns they visit, and
in many instances have laid the foun-
dations for business relations which
proved profitable for both sections.
The mayors and burgesses of all the
towns to be visited will be notified of
the excursion and asked to greet the
visiting delegation informally. Fol-
lowing such an informal reception,
short speeches will be made.
IF you can't get it at home, buy it
in Wilmington" is the slogan that the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce have adopted for their cam
paign of trade extension, showing that
while they are seeking to increase
their own business they have no de-
sire to do it at the expense of the town
merchants. Judging from the advance
plans, July 8 will be a red letter day
in the campaign to establish closer
trade relations between Wilmington
ana nearby towns.
P. S. Just before going to press
the WHlG is advised that the Auto
mobile eXcursionists will arrive in
Elkton at Hos and make a 80 min
ute stop on Main street, where they
will be received by the town officials.
They will reach North East at 12
o'clock and stop for Is minutes, thence
through Bay View, Zion, Calvert, etc.,
to Oxford, arriving at Ills p. M,
where they will lunch at the Oxford
Hotel. Thence to West Grove, to
Avondale and kennett Square, to Will
mington,

 The new 1915 model of the Locomo- bile is the most beautiful model yet produced by this company. It's lines are long, and low, creating an inn pression that remains in the mind long after seen. The body Sis a ere ation that reflects harmony and pre- cision throughout Tn appearance the car exceeds those of European make in every respect. Many improvements have been made upon the car atfis year. One of the most radical is the new press the button starter.
 Another is the locking system. With the system in operation, it is impos- sibie to moveS the car unless 1t were loaded upon truck and carted away. The company provides two keys for the system, one remaining in posses sion of the company in case of need for duplication. Immediately upon turning the key. the car becomes dead and remains so until the owner re- turns This feature does. away with the unpleasantness Of finding that in the owners absence some one has made away with the motor car. The system is simple and requires nothing but the use of a key. The system was perfected by the company's engineers after nearly a years effort.

 Gradually but surely the high grade field is narrowing down. Some manufacturers who formerly compet- ed for this business have frankly abandoned it in favor of a product ,nsst sells at a, lower price. Also, ts the public becomes better informed, the line of demarkatton is being drawn more clearly between maxi mum service cars and those of me dium grade. The essential differ ences are now quite generally under stood Makers of medium service cars are recognizing this condition, as shown by a, tendency to reduce their prices.

GEORGE H. PECK INTERVIEWED.

N I
 ''The construction of the motor has much to do with the gasoline con- sumption' declared Geo. H. Peck, of The Peck & Lines CO, distributors for the Haynes, America's First Car, in a recent interview. t'The different arrangements of the valves and the general shape of the, compression chamber have very little effect on the ordinary touring car motor. It is true that these factors do play an tTn- portant part in racing motors, but here the motor is running at speed far in excess of that attained in the ordinary business and pleasure cars
 .sThe construction of the intake manifold leading from the carburetor to the cylinders has a very direct bearing on the fuel consumption as we'll as the general performance of the motor A long manifold with large surfaces exposed to the air; can be taken as a good indicator of an unnecessary waste of gasoline. In some instances the carburetorz is wa ter jacketed so as to supply heat to assist. in the vaporization of the gas- oline. This is admirable as far as ir goes, but in the usual practice. the
 warm vapor leaves the. carburetor and comes in contact with the cool. ers walls of the manifold and is par tia1ly condensed.
 sfIn the Haynes new model 80 Light Six, an ideal arrangement has been attained The carburetor has has been placed high up on the motor and practically none or the intake mani fold is exposed to. the air, so that the entire manifold proper is within the. Ecylinder casting. The intake pas sages through the casting are design | ed so as to be surrounded completely by water.
 saThis feature would be sonailspibe
 saThis feature would be impossible without the enbIoc construction of the Haynes motor. The heat from the motor is utilized directly, and the gasoline mixture is readily vaporized- It passes into theTcylinders while hot and there are no chances for losses by condensation. Consequently, 1t is liinpoasible to choke the motor by sud-. denly opening the throttle Other things being equal a manifold of this construction makes a wonderful de- crease in the fuel consumption over the exposed style of manitoba
