the Mitchell and over forty other prom
inent makes Of cars, is the latest new
feature in automobile construction. II
does away entirely with all necessity for
hand pump, motor air pump, and even
air-tight construction. It eliminates all
the uncertainties Of the pressure feed
systems and assures an even flow of
warmed gasoline 70 the carbureter, even
on the steepest grades.
The Stewart Vacuum System is solely re-
sponsible for several remarkable fuel econ
omy records within the last few weeks
Equipped with this system, the Cole car
made its recent economy record on the
Indianapolis speedway and showed an in
creased mileage per gallon Of II per cent
over what II was possible TO make with
the same car using the finest force-feed
system. This test was followed by an
other Cole care in Chicago. in which a
2 per cent increased mileage per gallon
was made. A Cadillac car equipped with
the Stewart system, showed a 20 per cent
increased mileage per gallon over what
the same car obtained when equipped
with the pressure feed system.
Another great advantage besides econ
omy lies In the position OF the vacuum
tank under the hood where the heat Of
the motor aids carburetion and permits
the carbureter to be installed close I'D to
the intake manifold, where 1t is most ac-
cessible

NEW YORK AUTO SHOW
WILL BREAK RECORDS
Four Floors of Grand Central Palace
Will Be Used to Exhibit
Cars January 2.

So great has the demand Of motor car
makers been this season for space at the
Fifteenth Annual National Automobile
Show in Grand Central Palace, New
York, that for the first time four floors
Of the huge building will be utilized for
the display Of complete cars. The show
Is scheduled to open Saturday, January 2
and will continue until January g.
Even with four floors available, Man
ager S. A. Miles and the show committee
ind that they are unable to accommo-
date all Of the applicants for exhibition
space. Heretofore the fourth story of
the Palace has been used exclusively for
accessory exhibitors, but some of thess
will be obliged to get along with smaller
space than in former years in order to
make room for the complete cars.
Already 54S exhibitors are on the list
for these two shows which Is an unusual
ly large number. and before the doors
are open this number will be increased
materially. Ninety-two complete car
makers are on the list for the New York
show and ninety-one for Chicago. Thir-
teen motorcycle makers will be represent
ed at these shows.
Although the show Is several months
OF, Manager Miles has made early prep
arations for the many details which are
necessary for an exhibition Of such gi-
gantic scope. He is considering several
plans OF decoration for the Chicago ex-
hibition, and while the Grand Central
Palace Is beautiful in itself and needs but
little decoration, Mr.. Miles Is planning
to add to its present interior beauty and
will announce his plans later.

WINTER ADVANTAGE
OF CADILLAC EIGHT
Engine Quickly Reaches High Running
Efficiency in Spite of Cold
Weather.

A device on the new Cadillac Eight
that will be particularly appreciated dur
ing cold weather is the thermostat that
controls the temperature of the water in
the cooling system The object Of the
device is to maintain as nearly as pos
sible a constant temperature of the water
while the engine is running.
In connection with the thermostat Is a
valve that opens and closes as the liquid
in the thermostat expands and contracts.
When the water is cold this valve Ii
closed, and the result is that the water In
the radiator Is cut off from that In the
jackets surrounding the cylinders.
The main advantage Of the thermostat
in cold weather is that, the quantity Of
water surrounding the cylinders being
comparatively small. the motor 10
warmed and reaches running efficiency
in a much shorter time than ordinarily.
without the thermostat all the water in
the cooling system would have to be
heated before the engine would run well.
whereas with the thermostat, only a
small quantity has to be warmed at the
outset, and the thermostat valve admits
the water into the radiator slowly, as
the temperature rises in the fluid sur
rounding the cylinders and opens the
valve gradually.
In the Cadillac Eight a thermostat and
valve are provided for each block Of
cylinders. The device is wholly auto
matte in its action.
The Eight is now on display at the
showroom Of Cook & Stoddard Co., the
local representatives.

for the purpose Of obtaining information
on traffic with a view of lessening

possible to create the federation. Safe

The European war may be making the

pretty regularly in this country.
In the automobile industry there never
has been season in which 50 many fast

indianapolis and later at Elgin, as well
as the many meetings at other places
This was shown in the most striking
manner the other day when Bob Bur-
man in his Peugeot and Louis DIsbrow
in q Simplex Zip both beoke the worlds
dirt track record for fifteen miles.
After the Elgin race In which Spencer
Wishart showed such astounding speed
with a Rayheld equipped Mercer, Bob
Burman made up his mind he would al
ways use q Rayheld.
He secured II Immediately, placed Il on
his old car, and In the FIRST race in which
he used It at Peoria reduced the worlds

the old time OF 1890. held by Louis Dis
brow. to q new record OF 12:47.
Just as the excitement over this
achievement was at its height telegram
was received by the judges at the Peoria
State fair grounds that Louis Disbrow,
who also uses a Rayheld, had driven his
Simplex ZIP fifteen miles over a dirt
track at Minneapolis twenty-seven sec
onds faster than his old record.
It sometimes happens that the same
record Is broken twice the same day and
In the same place, but II very rarely hap
pens that II Is broken twice the same

has been achieved by Burman and Dis
brow this year.
Burman was well on his way to break
the records for longer distances when

they are left in the tubes, they should be

Never let the weight Of the car rest on
the tires when laying up for the winter
months. The constant weight on one
part of the tire will cause 1t to natten
at that point, creasing the fabric and
greatly weakening It. II the tires are left
on the rims, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and repaired and only enough
air pressure left In the tubes to keep
them well rounded. This prevents them

pairs made on tires. 1t Is the repair

ENCOURAGING
Olds Manager Believes Small
Four Aids Sales of Ex-
pensive Autos.
SERVE AS ADVERTISER
J. v. Hall Says that Despite Output,
Higher Priced Cars Have
Been Doomed.

Rumors to the effect that the intro
duction of a small four-cyIinder car on
the market by the manufacturers of the
OldsmobiIe is the precursor of an ex-
elusive small car production were set at
naught by ]. V. Hall, sales manager OF
the Oids Company, who asserts that their
lower priced model is proving an aid
and not hindrance to the sale OF higher
priced cars.
Light is cast by Mr.. Hall on the sub
ject which has been considerably dis
cussed among automobile manufacturers:
What effect does the production Of a
small car have on sales of a higher priced
model? It is natural to assume, he states,
that the output OF the Olds factories
would be confined more and more to the
less expensive cars, for which there is
a more widespread demand, but in actual
practice the contrary has happened.
While the preponderance Of demand IA
yOrs the lower priced car, there has been
a consistent, increase in the demand for
big cars since the marketing of the small
car model was begun.
More Cars on Streets.
This was attributed to the influence
brought TO bear on buyers by. seeing a
great many new Oldsmobile cars on the
streets of the large cities, and also to
the fact that, except for size, the new
four-cylinder model has a striking sim
ilarity in appearance to the big six"
Oldsmobile.
Moreover, the bringing out Of the low
er priced car" asserts Hail. has en-
tailed the appointment Of over 200 new
dealers since the LIST day OF August, 1914
and this increase IN representation has
improved greatly the possibilities for sell
ing large cars; for not a few Of our
new dealers located in out-of-the-way
places are discovering that among the
residents Of a small town there are one
or two people of sufficient means. to
purchase and maintain q large car. Con-
seQuently, we are receiving orders for
six-cylinder cars from sources we could
not by any chance have reached without
previous representation when our dealers
were located almost entirely in big cities.
Even though the small town dealer
considers the smaller type Of car as his
meal ticket, still he does not hesitate
to talk the more expensive model when
he believes there is any chance of clos
ing a sale" Hall says, and the handicap
OF not having a big six demonstrator on
hand is largely offset by the fact that
the four-cylinder car is SO near like the
six in appearance"
