neighbors fought desperately ,o divert
the direction of the flames, but their et-
forts were unavailable.
At one o'clock Powers ordered his
wife and children 90 lice and they We're
compelled 10 make their way FOR a
distance Of two miles, through sparks
and ciuders Unable 10 combat the
flames. the efforts of the ire lighters
were abandoned and the buildings soon
were burned To the ground.
Farmers and lum boring men have
been fghting the flames and later
report this morning Indicated that the
fires were about under control This
report probably is true as the pail Of
smoke which overhung Houshton and
Hancock for the past TWO days has
cleared considerably.
An uncondrmed report reached Han

the bungalow owned by William Drift
tier an Twin Lakes had been destroyed.
Superintendent Ehlers of the copper

there are practically no fires along the
railroad toward Ontonagon and the
fires near Twin Lakes have been
checked.

NOVEL TEST OF STARTER
North East Fully Tried Out by
r. A. G., in London.

THAT the North East self-starter and
lighting system. which is used on the
Marmon car Is mechanically one of the
best on the market is indicated by re-
cent sx-day trial before the Royal Auto
mobile Club OF London" says Frank G.
Carrie, the manager Of the Marmon New
York company.
During the test" Mr.. Carrie continued.
1.-The car was started go times each day
for six days. On the sixth day the 80
starts were made in II minutes and sec
onds, the lowest figure for the test. The
highest figure was 10 minutes and 80 sec
onds for 30 starts, made on the third day.
"ln each case the morning start was
made with a cold motor. and no outside
assistance was given. The starts were
consecutive and no battery charging was
done between them. After the engine
was started the switch was thrown. and
after the engine had come to rest it was
again made to operate by the starter.
AT the end OF each days trial the car
was taken on the road and operated for
approximately half an hour, in order to
bring the battery to capacity. All work
was under the supervision Of the Royal
Automobile Club. ard the car was under
lock ard key throughout the trial"

TESTS OF CORD TIRES
Remarkable Results Attained in
Tests by Goodrich.

The y. F. Goodrich Company is willing
TO assume that every motorist is from
Missouri" when IL tells what Goodrich
Silvertown cord tires will do for gaso-
lene cars. IL Is showing them" by
actual practical tests under any kind OF
service condition.
Test after test has been made by the
Goodrich Company in Akron, as the re-
suit OF which II is announced that the
rev cord tire will cut down gasolene bills
often as much as % per cent: that It will
increase the efficiency OF the motor-tests

cent greater horsepower developed; that
II Will give more mileage; that II will
enable the motorist TO start quicker.
steer easier and coast further. and will
give him practical immunity from stone
bruises. which are the greatest enemy OF
tires.
f. G. Tibbitts. advertising MANAGER OF
the Goodrich Company spent two days in
Chicago last week with f.. y. Rowen,
Chicago branch manager, and while there
conducted series OF tests on the road
that were actually startling IN their re-
suits.
The car used was not a testing car. nor
one specially equipped for the expert
ments conducted. II was one which is in
daily use. and was drafted for the tests
on few moments notice.
The main object of the road tests was
70 show the greater life given 10 car
when equipped with the cord tires as
against an equipment OF fabric tires
With the engine killed and no power
available, the car was put through a
series OF coasting stunts in Lincoln Park
on the slope leading down from the Grant
monument TO the level boulevard.
Also IL was tested on couple OF steep
hills north Of Glencoe. TO get figures on
its momentum on an upgrade after coast
/ ing down hill. On the latter. with a
! standing start. the car made an average
/ speed of 13 2-3 miles an hour over a
course 40 of a mile long on fabric tires.
When these were replaced with the cord
/ tires the average speed was 10 % miles
about 10 per cent increase in speed. The
excess distance covered with the cord
4 tires on the down-and-up hill coasting
was ninety feet-this on an 8 per cent
/ grade. In fact, the fabric tires took the
