AIR ENDS DRAWBACKS.
Cllicagoan Finds Way OF Wiping Out
Features That SDoil AutOinx.

Shifting gears. starting the motor.
and initiating tires were three Of the
principal drawbacks to the perfect en-
joyment Of motoring experienced in
the early days. Various means have
been employed to overcome these OBJ
jectional features with more or less
success. But it remained for a Chi
cago man. Edward E. Gray. to per-
feet a system which, by the simplest
of operations, does away with all of
these drawbacks. Compressed air is
the power employed because Of its
simplicity. economy. and absolute de-
pendability and, furthermore. because
only by compressed air a these three
di~sagreeable features be forever ban
ished from motoring. Mr.. Gray's sys-
tenn will be exhibited at the Chicago
auto show.

The use OF benZhIe as a fuel is app

During the past year these seventy
