AUTOMOBILE RUNS
WILD ABOUT STORE.
Wayfarers in Detroit Are Start
led by the Uncanny
Spectacle

Startled out of rush hour reverie,
his hand hanging inert from the bell
cord, the conductor of a Woodward
avenue street car in Detroit, blocked
traffic for several minutes the other
evening while he gazed. open
mouthed, into the brightly lighted in-
terror of the Studebaker automobile
store.
For once, traffic was willing to be
blocked The sight that had so
strangely affected the collector of
fares struck others just as forcibly.
Inside the store, an automobile was
obviously running wild.
So far as human beings were con-
cerned the automobiles Studebaker
-Four touring car-was empty. Its
lamps were all blazing and it was in
rapid motion.
Along the Charlotte avenue side the
car would glide, turning just in time
to avoid crashing into the glass front.
It's tail light would gleam until 1t
reached the back of the room, when 1t
would swerve and charge at the side,
where it would again miss collision by
an eyelash. The next turn would bring
it back on its course again, casting
the binding rays of its headlights into
the eyes of the amazed beholders.
A crowd gathered. For a time
those in the front row would dodge
the charging car Later on their con-
fidence grew for they saw that the
car, instead of turning by some lucky
accident was following a circle and
making each lap definite track. Then
somebody noted that, on the dust
cover that trinity enclosed the cars
top, lay cat, oblivious to all excite
ment and sound asleep.
A policeman worked his way
through the throng and tried the door,
which opened readily. He lodged the
car and made his way to the offices
in the rear, where he found A. K.
McLuney, the branch manager.
There's a crazy automobile runnin'
round your front ROOM" calculated
the cop.
Never mind it," replied McLuney
It's a demonstration"
"Of what?"
''Irreversible steering gear, IL you
know what that notwithstanding gear
that stays put and doesn't rack your
arms out at the sockets"
We'll, irreversible steerin' or not,
you can't block the avenue with 1t!
And the next thing it'll be runnin' out
through one of them windows"
"Well, it's my car and my store and
my windows, isn't it?''
The cop went outside and vainly
implored the spectators to "move on"
The car kept running circles. The
crowd grew And the cat slept on.
Throughout the week of the De-
troit automobile show, the whole pro-
cess was repeated nightly. Now and
then someone would rescue "Stude-
baker," the office cat, from his perch
on the top. He took it good naturedly
but would wait for the cars next
lap when he would cleverly climb
back aboard, resuming his solitary joy
ride.

AIDS GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

Perhaps no class of citizens is more
interested in the good roads movement
than motorcyclists And they are not
satisfied with merely wishing for good
roads-they are willing to give OF their
time and money to the cause. And
many riders have even gone out and
worked on the roads themselves.
Fifty-five motorcyclists of Rockford.
ILL.,, have offered to spend at least one
day each in helping to improve the road
between Rockford and Beloit. Wis. And
1t is believed that each of the 500 mem
bers of the. Rockford Motorcycle Club

Streamline Type Of
Body to Be General

/. w. Dill in commenting on the
streamline body design and the ad-
vantages of six, said:
vantages of ask. said:
There are some men who welcome
new designs in car, and some who
resent innovations which make pre-
sent cars out-of-date.
The new streamline body on this
years Hudson skies is case in point
Some call it the handsomest design
that ever came out, and it undoubted-
ly is. Some say the old straight lines,
the angle dash, still look good to me.
But the situation is this: Stream
line bodies on the better cars are now
universal European vogue. And, in
body designs. European vogue has al
ways set the fashion here.
Remember foredoors. We resisted
them too. 1t was almost two years
after Europe adopted them before we
came to them here. Then, almost
over night, the open front bodies be-
came practically unstable.
The same reason exists for the
streamline body. These flowing lines
are artistic and right. The time is
fast coming when the angle dash will
look as out -of-date as the open front.

tically none have been sold for several
years at a price which would buy a

Test Shows Electric
Costs Less to Run
Than a Gasoline Car

At an educational meeting held in
Jersity City, N. j., the subject of mo-
tor vehicles was discussed by S. c.
Thompson, of the Public Service Com
pany of New Jersey. After showing
figures to prove that the electric truck
costs less to operate than either horse
drawn or gasoline vehicles, results of
an actual test were presented COM
pairing the performance of gasoline
truck and an electric truck over forty
eight months operation. In this case
the cost of maintenance was found to
be 1876 cents per mile for the gaso-
line truck and only S.5 cents per mile
for the electric truck. Diagrams show
ing the relative amounts of energy
consumed by different types of tires
and street surfaces also proved very
interesting. 1t was seen, for example,
that motor vehicle running on as
phalt had an energy consumption of
l kw-hr per mile while the same
car running through soft snow con-
sumed 2.06 kw-hr. per mile.

Cadillac Maintains
School Of Applied Science

Perhaps the most unique training
school of applied mechanics in this
country is the one conducted by the
Cadillac Motor Car Company, where
young men of Is years and older are
taught not only the basic principles CT
mechanical engineering but the ideals
that underlie the construction of Cad
lilac cars.
The idea was original with Henry
Nj. Leland, president of the Cadillac
Co., in 1907. Mr.. Leland foresaw that
the growth Of the motor car industry
would create an abnormal demand for
mechanical workers of high ability,
and determined to begin to train men
in his own shops.
The Cadillac school is a special
training department, with equipment
of machinery and class room facili-
ties Under the direction of compe-
tent mechanical engineers, the stu
dents are given class work in mate
matics and mechanical drawings. in
struction in the efficient use of var
ious machine sfor the production of
work of the highest grade and daily
lectures, illustrated with stereoptican.
To fulfill Mr.. Leland's purpose of
making the course thoroughly prac-
tical, the students are given practical
work to do in the various branches,
performing their duties the same as
journeymen and under working con-
ditions and preparing themselves for
places as draughtsmen, mechanical
engineers, tool-designers and foremen.
A large number of students have
been graduated from this Cadillac
school and many have gone forth to
responsible positions. Youths under
1S are not eligible to the course. The
company pays the students from IA
to II cents per hour, awards cash
prizes as it sees fit during the course
and a bonus of 800 upon compile
ton of the two years of class work.
In return it asks that applicants be
young men of good habits who do
not smoke cigarets, chew tobacco or
use intoxicants.

Orleans Schools to Open Monday.

Unless there are new developments,
and more cases of infantile paralysis
in the village than at present, the
schools will open Monday. Up to this
time it has seemed best that we take
