OLDFIELD Makes FIRST
ENTRIES in Big RACES
Famous Speed Demon Will Drive a
Stutz Car in Vanderbilt Cup y
and Grand Prix Events.

Z Barney OldfeId, the veteran race driver,
has made the first entries for the Wander
bilt Cup and Grand Prix races to be held
at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition in Feb
ruary. Hollis E. Cooley, chief OF special
events of the Panama-Pacihc Exposition,
wired this week from San Francisco to
Fred ]. Wagner in New York, that the
veteran driver had made the first en-
tries in both of the classics
He will drive a StuZ racer, possibly the
same car with which he mads such a bril-
liant showing in the 5Oo-mile race at Indi-
annapolis last May and at Elgin, Ill, in
August.
Barney. who is at present in San Fran
cisco, went over the course, which is
inside the exposition grounds, and is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities it offers
for spectacular driving The circuit is ap-
proximately FIVE miles and the road is so
smooth that oldfeld believes
the contest will be the greatest road races
in history.
While no other entries actually have
been made for the two races, 1t is a we'll
fact that a number OF manu-
facturers and private owners Of racing
cars will enter the big speed events. Cali
fornia is the most enthusiastic automo-
bile racing State in the Union, as far as
number of contests and sportsman own
ers of racing cars are concerned, and
many privately-owned sped creations In
California will be entered with famous
drivers at the wheel

MANY FORD CARS ARMED
WITH RAPD-FIRE GUNS
European Manager Believes They Win
Be in Demand on Battle6elds.
Same as Heavier Cars.

Detroit, Oct 2-H. B. White, general
European manager OF the Ford Motor
Company, just returned to Detroit from
Paris, has some interesting observations
on the use of motor cars in the great war.
The French government" said Mr..
White, have requisitioned only the big
cars-from 40 to 90 horsepower. and just
those with inclosed bodies. These are
being used generally to carry dispatches
and reports between field headquarters
and transporting stan officers. What one
might expect with such heavy cars IS
happening. On our run from Paris TO
Havre we passed dozens Of these big,
heavy cars out Of business and aban-
doned on the roadside. prophesy that in
two months most of them will be out OF
commission entirely.
The light, strong Ford. before the war
began. had proved wonderfully successful
in the army maneuvers. being able to go
even across country. Many Fords are
armed with rapid-fire guns. l believe
that within three months. II the war con-
tinues, light cars like the Ford-and all
the Fords that they can get-win be in
general field operation in the war zone"
Gen. Lyautey, commander-in-chief Of
the French forces in Morocco, has re-
ceived a shipment of fourteen Fords.
which because OF their Iightness, strength
and durability, have been proved pecu-
liarly well adapted to operation in the
sands OF Northern Africa.

COSTLY PROPOSITION
TO ALTER MOTOR CAR
New Machinery and Equipment for
Cadillac Eight" Involve Half
million Investment.

Most people have but the vaguest idea
Of the tremendous amount of preparatory
work and attendant expense involved in
the production of a new model motor car.
The public is at a loss perhaps to under
stand why, in these days, changes in de-
sign and construction are seldom radical
II perceives that most cars adhere pret-
ty closely, in their new models, to what
has become, to them, standard design
Motor car makers who produce in their
own plants all the essential parts for
their cars have big investments in ma
chinery equipment and operations. For
that reason many manufacturers prefer
to avoid radical alterations in their cars.
As an instance, the eight-cylinder Cad
lilac, recently announced-a distinct de-
parture from any previous American de-
sign-necessitated an investment OF ap-
proximately half a million dollars in new
machinery, tools, jigs, dies, fixtures, and
other equipment This investment, Of
course, will be spread over the production
of thousands of cars and probably for a
long period of time.
The new type of cylinder block and
Few shape crankcase demanded huge
milling machines, different from those
the Cadillac had used in the production
of previods models. The same was true
of the machines which cut the bevel gears
in the rear axle. The teeth on the driv-
ing pinion and the large differentlal gear
in the new car are OF the helical type,
which could not be formed with the equip
ment previously used. There are many
other instances where new equipment
was necessary. each calling for an addi-
tional expenditure.
In the light Of these facts. it can read
lily be understood why many manufac-
turers prefer to follow their own stang
ard designs and avoid radical changes.

IRISH PROVE WORTHY
OF THEIR TRADITIONS
Two Dragons Give Battle to Dozen Uhans and Die in Rush
for Safety, Though They Have Chance
to Surrender.
spsei.I Cable to NE w.hingtOn Herald.

Special Gable TO The Washington Herald.
Paris. Oct 2L-Irishmen fighting Brit
aims battles in France today are prov
ing themselves worthy OF the finest ira
dItions Of their race. There have been
many stories OF their endurance and
pluck. but two related by a trooper of
the Irish Dragons may be taken as
typical:
There was a man of ours" says the
trooper. who carried chum to d
farmhouse under fire. and when the re-
treat came got left behind. The German
patrol called and found them. There
were only the two, one wounded, against
a dozen Uhlans Behind a barrier of
furniture they kept the Germans at bay,
wounding or killing half OF them. The
Germans made of and brought a machine
gun TO the house and threatened to de-
stroy 1t.
Die Trying to Escape.
The two soldiers were not unmind-
ful of the kindness shown them by the
owners OF the farm, and rather than
oring loss on them or the village they
made a rush out with some mad idea
Of taking the gun.
Just over the threshold OF the door
they fell dead, their blood bespattertng
the walls of the house
People may call them pig-headed for
not surrendering, but that sort Of wrong
headedness is worth a lot as inspiration
to others, and II British soldiers had
always worried about what the stay-at-
homes would think OF their deeds, some
OF the finest stories in the history OF
the army could never have been told.
There was a young chap OF the Irish
Rifles. He was kneeling beside a
wounded man of the Gloucesters, think.
keeping on the Germans, who were
circling round like carrion birds. He had
been hit himself, but was gamely firing
at the enemy as fast as his wounded
arm would permit. We went to- his as
Stance but they wer both worn outC
when we reached them and, greatly to
our regret we had TO leave them to be
picked up by the Red Cross people.
One DeadI other Gone.
That was hard; but il you tried to
pick up every Wounded man you saw you
wouldn't be much use as fighter, and
as We were under urgent orders to take
up a position from which to cover the

They knew that. and they weren't the
men to ask US to risk the safety Of the

DETROITER PURCHASERS
GET A REBATE OF sos
Little Surprise Check Follows An
nouncement of Reduction in Price
of 1915 Car from 81 $50 to $685..

The large number of persons who
bought 1916 'Detroiter" cars during the
past two months got a pleasant little
surprise recently in the shape OF a check
for s65 which represented a rebate OF
the original purchase price Of $3.50. fol-
lowing an announcement Of reduction in
the price of the 1915 ''Detroiter'' 10 1886
This is the first time in the history OF
the industry that the thing has been
done and the continual flow Of con-
gTatulatory letters and kilograms that
have been pouring in to the Briggs-De-
troiter Company. attests the apprecia-
ton of purchasers of "Detroiter" cars.
During the Detroiter dealers conven-
ton. held in July. Mr.. Briggs announced
that the new price would be made as
soon as production passed a certain
point. which was set at twice the pro-
duction OF the corresponding months Of
last year Soon after the dealers re-
turned TO their homes. specifications be-
gan 10 come in so rapidly that the nee
essary output greatly exceeded the mark
set.
'Our new price is within a few cents
of our actual saving on the greatly in
creased quantities of materials heces-
sary for our 1915 production" says Mr..
Briggs. "Our overhead cost. always re-
puted TO be the lowest in the industry.
becomes still more insignificant But
our plan goes still farther. Our new
price has been made possible by the big
demand and large number Of cars sold
within the past sixty days-more than
twice the production Of former years.
We feel that every buyer who has helped
make the low price an actually also
should share in the benefits"
The "Detroiter'' factory is busy place
these days and a materially larger force
OF workmen Is necessary TO keep up
with the big demand for the new 1915

Ever since the seating arrangement of

SPIRIT OF COOP
STIRS statesmen
Recent Firestone Convention
Was Chuck Full of Real
Enthusiasm.
DAILY PAPER PRINTED
Newsies Cry Their ''Uxtrees" After
Each Meeting. Telling All the
"Doings" of the Conference.

One of the best recent sales conven-
tons was that held by the Flrestone
Tire and Rubber Company, at Akron.
Ohio. The convention calendar called
for sessions ont Wednesday and Thurs
day, October Il and Is. However, en-
thusiastic Firestone men began to ar
rive at headquarters as early as Monday
in fact all the branch managers had
put in their appearance by Tuesday and
the day was devoted to get together
meetings and planning for the two big
days, Wednesday and Thursday. Early
Wednesday morning, therefore, all were
in readiness to get down to business.
The sales conference was remarkable,
inasmuch as it appeared to hold the
maximum Of business, as well as pleas
ure, every one appearing to enjoy the
conference to the utmost and enthusias sm
was evident on every hand. At the same
time remarkable seriousness prevailed all
through the convention, those present
evidently being determined to get the
most out Of the conferences.
Spirit of Cooperation.
The business sessions inspired the men
for greater efforts during the next sea
son, while the official side Of the con-
vention welded the men more firmly to-
gether in cooperation and good will.
Business sessions, for the most part, were
motions, as well as TO q thorough study
of the products. There were many in
structive and enlighteninE addresses by
officials high in the various depart
ments Of the District organization.
The representatives were piloted through
the big factory under the guidance
OF a number Of constructors, offer
ing ample opportunity for the men to
study the products they sell.
One feature especially was the re-
markable manner in which the news Of
the convention was handled. The Fire
stone company issued a special news
paper, which was called Coop" SYM
bolizing the Firestone spirit OF co-opera-
ton. There were three editions, all
printed on regular newspaper stock, full
size and made in the regular daily news
paper style. The first edition Of this
paper was sprung upon the men after
the first conference business session was
brought to a close. Twelve leather
lunged boys rushed into the conference
room hollering ''FirestoRe Uxtrees." The
second edition was published on the
