2O,G3S FORD CARS

Twenty thousand six hundred and
thirty-eight Ford cars were sold dur

not represent orders received, for the

ceived. 1t represents, therefore, 20

These figures are extremely signi-

in August, 1913, the Ford Motor Com

August is always the lightest month
of the year in sales the figures take
On a new meaning. The real signifi-
canoe in this larger volume of sales
lies in the fact that it encourages the
faith that the Ford Motor Company
will reach its goal of 100000 cars for
year.
When the Company announced the
new profit-sharing plan whereby the
buyers Of Ford cars between August
1st of this year and August 1st, 1915,
we're to receive a rebate of from $40

RUBBER SITUATION

owing to the slump in rubber
prices some time ago. Brazilian con-
Germs permitted their supply to di-
minish until there is practically noih-
sng In reserve. The rainy season is
now prevailing, and little in the way
cf bringing in a new supply will be
done until October, so It can be said
that the immediate outlook In South
America is not as satisfactory as
might be.
zone result Of the situation may
be the readiustment of the method Of
handling the crude rubber supply,
but this canno; be done IN day or a
month About one-half OF the supply
Is used In the United States, and the
American manufacturer is anxious to
have shipments come direct and the
financing done here. I. has been
suggested that the supply from the
Far East come across the Pacific to
San Francisco or through the Pana-
ma Canal TO New York The lack Of
an American merchant marine may
eoon be corrected and there would
apparently be no good reason then
why the financing. or at least that
affecting the United States. cannot be
done In New York as well as London.

MAXWELL wonder CAR"
ONE OF The SURPRISES

Yesterday, Albert Gilbert. Of the
Maxwell Garage. Nos. lO3-iO5, Orange

the new Maxwell Wonder Car
said Here's an interesting angle Of
low-price car service that may have
escaped you. Did Il ever occur to
you that the high-price car is called
upon to withstand less ill-usage than
this Maxwell? Nevertheless. it's a
fact The high-price car Is not only
driven by a chauffeur who has been
trained 10 a high degree Of skill, but
a is his duty to look over the car
every morning, make any little adj
justment necessary, catch the slight

minute It is perceptible. and keep

adjust his carburetor. spark plugs
and magnetic, and TO oil every part,
including springs, joints and other
things maybe you'd never think of.

about ninety-nine times in a hundred,
it's driven by the owner himself. and
the care II gets usually depends on
Just what time he has to look after
It.
"Of course the costly car is driven
faster, hut speed is not car abuse,
when the driver is skilled-and If
he's not skilled the car will be all
wrapped around a telegraph pole
some day. As soon as the average

The 1916 Buick has had its first
tryout in the military service re-
Gently. Lieutenant Colonel Salt
marsh recently attended the annual
field firing practice Of Battery A. N.
G. c., in a Buick touring car and
the machine was put to a severe test.
The colonel and his party drove
over the range where the field guns
we're operating, and there we're many
steep hills covered. There were no
roads and the machine was driven
through plowed fields practically all
day
When the battery changed position,
the colonel's car was driven to a new
point Of observation aud there we're
many moves made during the day.
When the machine gun company
went out on the range IN the after
noon to try out the Bennett-Merceler
machine guns, the colOnels car fol-
lowed until one poor rockies" mule
took fright and the commanding Off
GERS orderly. not recognizing the
colonel in civilian clothes, ordered
the Buick off the field.
Colonel Saltmarsh only smiled and
footed his way across the plowed
ground to the firing line, while the
rest of the members of tho party re-
fused to leave the car and drove back
to the artillery practice where the
horses were educated to automobiles
and the Buick was a welcome guest.
The motor car also served the
citizen soldiers as delivery wagon
and several trips we're made into the
city for supplies during the three
days at the artillery camp.

IMPROVING The
magnetic SYSTEM

Ignition systems for automobile
motors have been improved notwith-
standing the popular faith in the
magnetic" said Coleman Johnson.
distributou in this territory for the
Haynes Americas First Car" "The
magnetic has been the standard
source of ignition current for the
past few years. but the engineers
have been continually designing and
experimenting in an endeavor TO sub
stitute a better system, and the re-
suits. have been highly successful.
"The magnetic is necessarily limi-
ted in its output due 10 iis construc-
ton. A coil Of fine wire wound on
piece of iron is revolved between the
ends Of the horseshoe magnets TO
produce a current of electricity. This
current is alternating m character
and reaches it's maximum intensity
az but two points in each revolution
of the coil Of wire, being of zero
value at the two intermediate posi-
tions.
Consequently. unless the spark is
50 timed as TO occur in the cylinder
when this current is at one of these
points Of greatest strength. a feeble
spark or none at all is produced. To
get the best results from a MOTOR,
the spark must be advanced Or re-
tarded as much as forty-five degrees
or more to vary with the load and
speed, and Il is obvious that the spark
can not occur at its maximum
strength at all points throughout this
range. The usual practice is 10 time
the magnetic on a compromise basis
anc use the lower values of the
magnetic current at the correspond
inely low eficiencies.
The modern ignition system that
mas gained much prominence this
year IS the combination of the dis
,tioutor, the transformer coil, and
the storage battery current tn
distributor varies but little from that
used on the magnetic. This svstem
Is used OF the Haynes Light Six with
admirable results.

Miss Reed practiced half an hour every
