"FOURS" TO OUTNUMBER
"SIXES" In PRODUCTION
Joseph M. Stoddard. of Washington
Firm. Tells Why Four-cylinder
Cars Are Popular.

why so much discussion about whether
1914 is a four or six cylinder year, said
Joseph NJ. Stoddard. of the Cook and
Stoddard Company, local agents for the
Cadillac car.
1T is not a subject which calls for
discussion. 1t is simply a question of
fact.
There are only two conditions which
can determine the question: One Is that
either the four or the six shall out
number the other in quantity of produc-
ton. The other is that the value Of the
output of either shall exceed the other
"All makers of consequence have laid
out their plans. They have made esti-
mates of what they contemplate pro-
ducing. These estimates, collected by
automobile trade publications, show that
for every six cylinder car already pro-
duced, or to be produced during the 1914
season, there will be from eight to ten
four cylinder cars.
From dollar and cents standpoint
these estimates likewise show that the
selling value of the .fours' will be from
two to three times the selling value of
the skies
Our company has already shipped
more than $500 of the 1914 model and that
in itself is probably greater than all six
cylinder cars combined selling at or more
than the Cadillac price"

Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
Announces Advanced Device i
After Years Experiments.
GREATER CARRYING CAPACITY

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany announces that after mere than
a year Of testing and experimenting with
various types OF rims it is prepared to
supply especially light. strong. effective
quick detachable or demoamtable rims
for No-Rim-Cut tires, and all standard
types other than clincher tires.
The new rim is made In the old Good
year '07 profile. permitting the tires to
widen out at the base and rest in their
natural positions, providing greater air
space and consequently greater carrying
capacity and increased mileage less
strain attacks the side walls because the
tire beads are not pinched together as in
some rims now used This solves the
problem OF tires breaking above the
bead"
In the new rim. also the hanges are
high enough and have a proper contour
to give necessary support to a no-rim-cut
or a straight-side tire. Where fanges
are low and not properly curved tires are
subject to damage unless kept fully in
fated and saved from all Overlooking.
-Four styles in the new rim are now Of
fered in all quantities by the Goodyear
Company, the no-rim-cut detachable, the
ideal detachable the no-rim-cut detach-
able demountable. and the ideal detach-
able demountable-
The no-rim-cut detachable is a light,
two-piece quick detachable rim. II aver

the two-piece rim and suitable for heavy
cars. This rim also is supplied with de-

A plan to effectively enforce traffic

WOMAN AUTOIST MIGHT
enter 5OO-MILE RACE.
Mrs. L. K. Northam. of Los Angeles,
Making Efforts to Appear on
Indianapolis Speedway.
HAS REPUTATION AS A RACER

The next 5oo-mile race on the Indian
apolis speedway, for the first time in
history, will see a woman, IL not driver,
at least an entrant, IL the plans of Mrs.
Leotia K. Northam, a noted Los An
seles sportswoman, materialize. Mrs.
Northam, who has been in the game for
some time, at present has her driver,
Omar loft, in Europe. negotiating for
the purchase of a Delage. the machine
that divided foreign championship honors
with the Sunbeam and Peugeot last year.
She plans to enter all the important
meets of the season. starting of with
the Vanderbilt. and winding up at Cor
ona. Failing to get a Delage, she will
buy some other car, she says. In the
past she has used Simplex.
To indulge in her racing hobby, Mrs.
Northam had to have herself incorpor-
ated. The A. A. AS definition of EN-
trant, contestant, or competitor IS ANY
man or organization which makes an en-
try of a motor car for a contest" No
mention being made of women, Mrs.
Northam had but the alternative of be-
coming an organization. This she
promptly did. No objection has been
offered to her subterfuge thus far, so
that on the grounds of eligibility It is
here next May.
Were Mrs. Northam attempting to
drive, matters would be different, as
pilots licenses are only granted to men.
II will thus be remember that last year
a Philadelphia actress, Vivien Prescott,
attempted to secure American Automo-
bile Association recognition for the pur-
pose of entering the 50o-mile race, but
failed signally. Even IL the Three-A.
should give such sanction il is not likely
that the speedway would loosen. as Carl
Fisher, president of the course, has very
strong views on the SUBJECT. If at any
time a woman should be injured in con-
nection with his races he would close the
track, he has often said.
Mrs Northam's car is expected to
prove one of the fastest in the country.
1t has been guaranteed to develop a speed
o: III miles an hour for a short race,
and one of liz for long one. The latte.
clip would be enough to lower the pres
ent speedway record more than an hour
in short order. OF this, however, there
is little chance, due TO limitations i'm
posed by the turns OF the course and by
tires. What the car is capable of in a
real contest was shown at LIE Mans last
summer, when il won the second edition
Of the French Grand PriN at the record
speed of seventy-seven miles an hour
and topped its performance by turning
the last lap in eighty-five-mile time. Its
piston displacement is under 40 cubic
inches, so that it will be eligible for
practically every event during the 1911
season.

Ray Harroun to Superintend Con
struction Of Three Specially
Adapted Machines.
PROMISES TO BREAK RECORDS

The greatest Juror that the racing
game has experienced in q long time was
the announcement made recently by the
Maxwell Motor Company that Ray Har-
roun would superintend the construction
of three special speed cars to take part
in important speed contests in this coun-
try and abroad.

classic will be the first event in which
the cars will participate. and II Is hitting
that they should make their first appear
ance there, as II was with the winning
of that event, the first 5oo-mile race, that
Ray Harroun retired from racing to be-
come an engineer on the Nordyke Mar
mon Company stan.
The three speed specials which are
being constructed in the Detroit plant Of
the Maxwell Company are now well under
way. and the motors will soon be given
their first workout.
The cars will be built right up to the
45o-inch piston displacement allowed by
the Indianapolis classic. and will be
motors Of the long stroke type.
The team will be made UP of the best
drivers in the United States. as 1t is the
desire Of the Maxwell Company that II
will be a strictly American team propo-
sition.
Harroun's promise to the Maxwell
Company Is that the cars will do a lap
on the Speedway course one full second
faster than any car has ever Travelled a
lap officially on the Speedway, which
means that the small 450-inch displace-
ment cars will travel raster than Louis
