Cadillac Dealer Found
No Need of Tools For a Year

The superfluous mechanic was the
topic of an extensive article by ]. P.
Holland, printed recently in a we'll
known English publication. To illus
trate his point the writer related an
incident that happened to w. r.
Peare, a Cadillac dealer in Ireland,
which not only proves that mechanics
are not generally needed, but that in
some instances one need not bother
about the contests of a tool box Mr..
Peare was giving a demonstration. At
the close of the run the prospective
purchaser expressed his delight with
the car, its electric self starter, light
ing and ignition system, and the 9TH
er features that characterize it. But
fearing that, being green driver,
something might go wrong while he
was at the wheel, he asked to see the
tool box and to have the contents
explained to him.
Mr.. Peare was quite willing to
oblige and showed the prospect where
the tool box was located on the foot
board where it would be easily ac-
cessible when occasion arose. But to
his CONSERVATION he discovered that
he had lost the key. Search as he
might he could not find any key to
fit the lock.
II have been driving this car for
nearly a year already" he explained
/ land this is the first time l have. had
occasion to discover that the tool box
| is even locked"

SAVER ATTITUDE NOW
GOVERNS BUYERS
Constructive Features of Car and
Buying Model Within His
Means Main Consideration
BY G. E. GIIlTNER
Sales Manager of the Velie Moto
Vehtcle Comnauv

Sales Manager of the Velie Motor
Vehicle Company
IA particularly gratifying phase of
the buying spirit among automobile
prospects this year has been the same
attitude they seem to be taking on
CONSTITUTIONAL features, and on design.
The demand for various types and
prices of cars is shifting down in all
cases to its logical level. This is a
good thing for the manufacturer and
for the purchaser of the car.
1t has too often been the case that
dissatisfaction has been caused by a
man buying car unsuited for his
own particular requirements. A man
who can best find satisfaction in the
car of medium size and medium cost,
has. because of his desire to keep up
appearances, purchased a car beyond
his means at first cost, and because
OF this much need Is meant in gen.
eral cost OF upkeep, for 1t is the usual
case that the higher the price of the
car the more expensive 1t Is to keep
UP. This Is true not because of any
inherent defect in the car for natur-
ally the high-priced car, built by
reputable manufacturers, is the bet
ter in its general construction. The
higher cost of operation is due to the
greater weight and SIZE of the more
expensive cars.
lad directly opposite to this dis
satisfaction has often been caused
among men of ample means by their
buying cars that have ultimately
proved too small to satisfy their de-
mands for speed, comfort and ap-
pearence.
Naturally the big bulk of automo-
bile buying is confined to purchasers
willing to pay from 1000 to $2,500,
and within these limits the majority
of manufacturers turn out their
product.
And to an extent greater this year
than ever before manufacturers of
cars ranging in price from $1,000 to
$2,500 are finding keen interest in
their product evidenced by men of
good business standing and more than
average earning capacity.
Equally pleasing reports come

CADILLAC AXLE
A ASTRONC FEATURE
Two Speeds on Direct Drive Gives
Added Economy and
-.,.
Efficiency
BY X. p. DRYSDALE

In recent article K. P. Drysdale,
of the Cadillac Motor Car Company,
described the advantages of he two
speed aXel as follows:
The methods by which the 1914
Cadillac two-speed direct drive axle
secured increased luxury, efficiency
and economy are most appreciated by
the man who Is thoroughly versed in
automobile mechanics. Some idea,
however, may be given of this revolu-
tionary feature in more or less nom
technical language.
1t Is not morely as an axle that
this mechanism is great advance in
motor car construction. Its peculiar
function is of another nature. Here
tofore, the power of the engine has
been transmitted to the rear axle by
a single bevel pinion and single
bevel driving gear. Therefore, there
could be at all times, and under all
the various conditions of travel which
might arise, only one ratio between
the revolutions of the engine and the
revolutions of the rear axle as it alb
sorbed the power, except for the
changes afforded by the shifting of
the transmission gears by the hand
lever. Now, however, by means of the
new axle, the Cadillac will have two
direct drive gear ratios in transmitting
Usually the single direct drive gear
ratio ranges from 3.5 to 1 down to
to 1, according to the car and accord
ing to the success of the mechanical
designer in securing that ratio best
adapted to his particular car. That
single ratio had to do the best it could
under all circumstances. Now, with
two ratios, there is just double the
means for promoting the economical
and efficient application of the power
developed by the engine, to the driving
of the car.
On the 1914 Cadillac the low direct
drive gear ratio is 1855 to 1; the high
direct drive gear ratio is 2.5 to 1. The
low is especially adapted for city driv-
ing where traffic problems are met,
where speed must be slow and stops
and starts frequent. A simple convent
ent electric switch changes the gear
ratio from the low direct to the high
direct and the car is ready for condi-
tons which permit a speed rate of six
teen miles per i-our or more.
With the high direct gear ratio in
operation at any given speed of the en-
gine, the speed of the car is increased
about AZ per cent. over what it would
be with the low direct gear ratio. This
point is illustrated thus: At an en-
gine speed of 700 revolutions per min
ute with the low direct gear, the car
speed is twenty-one miles per hour;
employing the high direct gear will
increase the speed to thirty miles per
hour without any increase in engine
speed.
One of the prime benefits is lower
fuel consumption because of the facts
just stated and because the fuel is used
to greater advantage. Other advan-
tages include less friction in high gear
by reason of the parts moving slowly
hence less wear and almost the entire
elimination of vibration. There is also
greatly increased comfort due to the
luxurious smoothness of operation; YET
these desirable results are obtained
without complicating the engine.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-06-27

from the manufacturers of higher
priced cars, and from manufacturers
of cars manufactured to sell at very
low price.
when this natural process of shift
ing into distinct fields has been passed
through with the automobile industry
will be devoid of many of the problems
which confront it now, and the whole
growth will be more healthful and
more generally profitable.
THE manufacturer has been the
one in the past who has paid the price
for bringing about this shifting. and
for this reason the automobile indus
try has been productive of less profits
to the manufactures than any other
line of endeavor.

TRAVEL LIGHT ON
TRIP ACROSS COUNTRY
First 1914 Transcontinental Tour
ist Hands Out Timely
Advice

The first motorist to cross the Amer
lean continent this season has arrived
/ in Detroit.
The trip was made in a Studebaker
over the Santa Fe Trail. The tourist,
o. j. Gidney. was accompanied by his
wife and son, both of whom unite
with him in pronouncing the roa-s of
the mountain section in terrible shape.
AS the result of experience gained
in this transcontinental trip Mr.. Gid
ney hands out some timely advice to
motorists contemplating a trip to the
Pacific coast
Get over the idea that you must
pack on ton or two of freight to
guard against emergencies" is Mr..
Gidney's caution.
This was my first trip across the
continent. OF course 1 received ad-
vice from every quarter, as the result
of which I packed my car with a
sleeping tent, cooking utensils, agricul-
tural tools and extra supplies of water
and gasoline until it had a load of at
| least half ton. Very little of this
added equipment was ever used.
This Fall we will pull out for our
5000 mile journey with practically no
more lOdu lndn we WOulQ carry LOT a
Sunday afternoon spin.
1--WE will pack no extra gasoline nor
water, no tent and no cooking uten-
sils. My Studebaker has always
brought us to town and hotel each
night. And where there Is a hotel
| there is gasoline to fill the tank for a
days journey.
1.-The only appliance I would take
with me would be a block and tackle.
! This weighs only a few pounds and
can be stored away under a seat. In
the mountain regions the tourist is
apt to encounter mud holes that no
car ever built can pull out Of without
help, and block and tackle does oc-
casionally come in handy.
There never was a time when my
engine could not spin the wheels, but
in mud that buried the axle, that did
no, good, and a rope was necessary"
The mountain roads, Mr.. Gidney re-
ports are in unusually bad shape this
season, and for long stretches he was
compelled to ride over rocks eight and
ten inches high. In many cases floods
have carried away bridges all over the
southwest.
In the desert the sand was in many
to lay canvass strips on the roadway.
The greater part of one day sand
storm prevailed which Mr.. Gidney de-
clares beat any Canadian snowstorm
he ever saw. Through it all, however,
his Studebaker stood up to the work
and kept coming.

SLAVERY SYSTEM IN
OUR PRISONS UNJUST
National Committee on Labor Ad-
vocates Honor System and
Wages For Prisoners

Trusting men, instead of beating
them, were ontrasted at the annual
meeting of the national committee on
prison labor held at Heather Dell
farm, the home of Adolph Lewisohn,
near New York City, June 20.
The national committee heard of the
magnificent highways which prison.
ers are building, miles away from any
prison building, guarding themselves
and taking pride in their work. They
heard also that this honor system is
not in use in many prisons and cases
were cited of cruel punishments in
f1icted in the last few weeks which de-
grade the prisoner so that he never
can be fit for free life. A strong ap-
peal was made at the meeting against
capital punishment, based in part on
its futility to prevent murder and its
evil effect on prison officials, tending
to keep men of high type out of prison
work.
The injustice of the sentence i'm
posed by many judges was referred
to, and a plea made for sentences
which shall be absolutely inter
mediate. 1t was shown that the first
need of the prisoner is for scientific
examination, mental and physical,
and the application of measures to
overcome his defects. Then he should
be assigned to some industry which
will develop what ability he has.
Finally his release should come after
he has proved, both by his skill in
labor and his conduct in prison, that
he can be freed without danger of a
speedy return to the prison.
The slavery of the prisoner was held
to. lie at the root of all the evils of
our prison system. The committee is
endeavoring to break down this slave
system by securing wage for the pris-
oner, and to this end is conducting, a
case to test the status of the prisoner
before the courts of the State of Rhode
Island, the constitution of which pro-
hibits slavery without exception as to
punishment for crime.
The work of the committee during
the past months has grown to be of
such magnitude and is covering so
many lines of activity that it was de-
cided to change the name to national
committee on prisons and prison la
Dor. Under its new name the COM
mittee will push with vigor it's cam
paign against the contract system of
prison labor and for the upbuilding of
the prisoner through fair treatment,
fresh air and sunshine, and incentive
to do the best that is in him.
