DoINGs IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD

pattern on the tread is not necessar- fly good nOn-slEid. FirestOne tires with the nonskid letters on the tread, clutch and grip slippery surfaces with a surety which delies the demon skid himself. The letters, and the hollow between, on these tires form an ele- ment of grip and clutch which pre- vents skidding sideways, or forward. after applying brakes.
 And then too. In connection with this question of chains. it should be remembered that chains are not al ways at hand when You want them. If you start out on little trip. you can not tell just when you are going to run into rainy weather or slippery go ing. If you equip with tested and approved non-skid tires before you start, you will be ready for any kind of roadrough. smooth. slippery or what-not.
 Tt is very gratifying to us to see that many people who formerly felt that chains were necessary to prevent skidding are rapidly realizing that the right kind of 6 non-sl1id tire, scien- tifcally made. tested and proved, is the best possible and ever-ready pro tection against the one great terror of motorists"
 The two front wheels of a motor car are connected by a rigid axle which is capable of being turned so as to pro ceed in a direction not quite parallel with that connecting the two hind wheels. By this arraD cement the car is steered. and when. by means of il, the front wheels are turned so as to run at an angle with their previous course, the hind wheels have to follow them as best they may. This presents no difficulty if tn machine is going at a slow pace. and if the road is firm and dry. But when the road is slippery from rain or oil. the momentum which the machine has already attained causes it to press the front wheels Motoring Magazine and Motor World. Then the phenomenon known as 'sl0idding" appears. and the front wheels slip instead of revolving.
 In racing automobile on a circular track there Is still another danger. Any body much longer than its diam eter, when propelled at high speed. has natural antipathy to turning to the right or left--a fact which is taken ad- vantage of in uhe construction Of bullets, torpedoes, and dlrigible bal loons--and if il Is compelled to do so, suddenly develops centrifugal force IT the body Is tr the shape Of q paran- elogran running on four wheels this shows itself oy the outer. or off side sides bites into it.
 On a racing track this tendency Is eeunteraeted by building, at the angles where the ears have to turn. q steeply Eieping hank up which they climb side ways, Sd that the track, in fact, lifts as dc the outer wheels, and the ear heeis over until 1t almost seems as fl it's occupants must fall cut, By this the liability te skid is probably much increased.

COLUMBIA CREW WILL
 ROW ON THE RIN .-..
First Spin to Be Taken Next Monday
 Afternoon.

Tide and weather conditions permit ting, Columbia's varsity and freshman crews will have their first spin on the water on Monday of next week, ac cording to the announcement which Jim Rice. the Columbia coach, made to his candidates yesterday.
 Despite the fact that there is still a lot of ice to come down the river, Rice thinks that there will not be enough to bother the crews by next week, and that if there is the coxswains will have to do their best in lodging foes.
 Stock in the Columbia squad took a jump yesterday when Steddiford Pitt, who rowed in the varsity shell in 1911 and 1912. reported for practice.

cars the old method of altering the cars course by setting the front wheels askew may still be good enough. But steamships Jorpedoes and aeroplanes, all of them machines driven so as to produce as much momentum as pos sible-are all steered by rudders placed not in front but in the rear; and that rudder can be made to bite as well on a track as in the sea or in the air may be seen from the analogous case of the bobsleigh or the Canadian to- baggan. If this principle were applied to racing cars much skidding might be avoided.

With the same gorgeous setting that delighted and charmed over two hun dred thousand persons who attended che automobile show during the week, the Boston commercial motor vehicle show opended Tuesday evening in Mechanics building and will continue until Saturday evening, March 21. This Is the only national commercial power wagon show that Is scheduled for 1914, In all there will be about 40 different manufacturerB showing trucks, with something like Zs0 models on exhtbl- ton, Every representative maker, showing the very latest designs in mo tor trucks will have a display The motor truck show Is not a place for the morbid curious. It will be or ao- sorbing interest to the business man who has to deal with transportation methods, for there will be a truck suit able for every purpose on display.
 Everything that is new and practical will be found~in the equipment and construction of the trucks that Will De on exhibition. The motor truck. Tn me few years that 1t has been developed, has come faster than the pleasure car because the manufacturer of the com- merciaI power wagon has had the ad- vantage of noting the mistakes made in the construction of the lighter Vehl- cle. While there will be few radlca! changes shown in the construction or the very latest models of trucks. yet there will be number Of improve ments that all tend toward greater en- durance and life of the truck. greater economy and power and greater ease ln operation.
 Every type of truck will be on exhi- bition. They will range from the 1000 pound delivery wagon to the huge ten ton caravan with its massive steeI body, with automatic hoists. In iact there will be truck for any use that one might require in transportation.
 The various mechanical hoists that automatically operate the massive steel frame dumping bodies, have been greatly improved and a number or these devices will be shown. There Will also be a number of improved bodies on exhibition. Perhaps the most fadl- cal change that will be noted wfl he in th. number of trucks that will have the left hand drive. Of course there are still a nurnher Of manufacturers who still make trucks Nith the right drive, but the experts state that most or the new models that are now emerging from the factories are built with the left drive.
 Chains are useless on any car ex- cept when deep snow or mud IS en- countered," is the doctrine Of a Tire & Rubber company in Akron, Ohio, and the behavior of non-sktd tires. made by that concern. bears it out.
 Many motorists seem to feel that the rattling and banging of the chains as they clatter against the lenders pro vide a sort of immunity against skid ding. The fact of the matter Is that most of these people never think of the terrific wear and tear which tires receive as a result of the chains grind in~ back and forth on ths tread. Of ten I have seen & practically hew tire with the tread almost torn from the carcass as a result of usihg chains,

The other case which Manager Me Cam ran up against was the one in which Outfielder Becker was bought from the Kalamazoo club of the Southern Michigan league. The cir cums tances surrounding this case were somewhat different than those of the Mansur case. In Becker's 1912 contract a clause was inserted that he should receive 20 per cent. of the purchase price. should he be sold. When he did not receive the money after his sale to New London last year, he put in a claim to the national board, which ruled against him. He then took it to the national commission, which re . versed the decision of the national board. and the sum claimed was awarded Becker.

The Santa Monica road race officials { inaugurared novel device for showing the progress of each racing car on the track, and for indicating to the grand stands and officials when and where the cars went out of the race According to Harry C. Stultz, who has just returned from Los Angeles, this recording system keeps the crowd keenly interested at all stages of the race.
 ''The progress of every car in the race is recorded by miles" says MT. StutZ Tn other words, each car mum Der travels crosswiSe on the score board when it is reported by telephone as having passed q given point There are eight miles to lap and therefore eight stations on the score board. Thus every time car number travels across the board the lap is recorded in the column at the right which is marked total miles,
 By means of this system you can sit in front of the score board and know exactly how the race stands to a certainty
 It's rather heartbreaking for the men in the pits. however. especially If the telephone operator at a certain station is asleep on the job.
 "Once in the Grand Prix 'GiP Ander- sons No. stopped moving across the board. It seemed to be stuck for keeps which meant to us that the Stutz was out Of the race.
 'sWe were greatly relieved to see Anderson rounding the turn up the track i'll his right order. however, and our relief shared by the crowd, which showed that it was l1eenly interested in Anderson's progress by giving him a rousing cheer as the Stutz breezed by and continued down the stretch at 8 terrific pace.
 The consumption Of fuel is another
 
 or less olVed during the past year The designer realizes that the bust- ness man regards small gasoline con sumption as big talking point. Most of the new models in commercial trucks for 1914 vii have the short bore and long stroke. This gives q greater mileage per gallon of Saso- line There are also q number of im- proved carburetors which the makers claim will offer more power with added mileage to the gasoline consumption. The thine that will impress the motor truck wise morfe than anything else is the method of construction. The man ufacturer while he has not perfected the perfect truck. has gone a long way toward adding to the stability and life of the commercial wagon. The truck is more strongly put together and will stand the hard knocks that it gets in it's daily use.
 Despite the fact that the great ma iority of pleasure cars are equipped with electric or mechanical starters, vet very few of the commercial wagons have adopted the self-starter \ few of the light delivery wagons are equipped with them. The motor fire apparatus should attract considerable attention as there will be quite a dis play of them This no doubt will at tract municipal authorities from all corners of New England as tue motor driven apparatus seSms to be more popular in the smaIar cities because of the fact of it's ability to reach iso- lated spots with a degree of speed that was never sttainabie with the horse drawn vehicles.

AUTO ACCIDENT

While coming home from Beresford
last Sunday evening A. NJ. Wold's big
auto went into the ditch, injuring the
five occupants of the car. The acct
dent took place about seven o'clock
in the evening at a point seven or
eight miles south of Sioux Falls known
as death valley road" from the num-
erous accidents that have happened
there. The occupants were all thrown
clear of the car, which fortunately did
not turn over or it is probable some
of them would have been killed. Mrs.
Berg, wife of Rev. Berg, who lives
near Volga, was seriously bruised;
Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Void were both
bruised, and 7. M. Void sustained a
fracture of the leg just above the
ankle. Elmer Void was badly shaken
up, but escaped with fewer injuries
than the others. The injured were
taken to a Sioux Falls hospital and re-
ports from there yesterday state that
they are getting along nicely.
Elmer Void, who was driving the
car, tells us that they were approach
ing a small bridge at a moderate pace
when the accident happened. A car
coming up on the opposite side Of the
bridge had strong electric lights that
blinded him and he could not see the
road. He thought that he was keep
ing the road all right, but before he
was ware of it the car was of the
grade and striking a rut it plunged
across the ditch at right angles to the
highway and buried its wheels in a
bank. 1t was tilted at an angle of
forty-five degrees and the fact that it's
front wheels were buried in the bank
is probably all that saved it from
turning over. The car was not greatly
damaged.
The party consider themselves
lucky to escape as well as they did.
The road at this point is narrow and
there is not Don for two cars to pass.
They blame the accident entirely to
the strong lights carried by the other
car. These powerful electric lights
are a positive danger to other travel
ers at night.

THE WAR

The mighty struggle between the
allies and the Germans in northern
France and Belgium continues with
out decisive result. The Germans &C.
cupied Ostend after it had been evacu-
ated by the Belgian and English
forces, which retired southwark and
joined the main army. The fighting
has been severe ala along the immense
battle line, which now stretches to
the sea on the north. The main OBJ
%jective of the Germans has been to
capture the seaport towns of France,
but so far they have been thrown back.
The allies claim successes at differ
ent points along the line, but nothing
like a decisive result has been at
tanned.
Little news comes from the eastern
theatre of war except that the Ger
mans and Russians are both holding
their own.
