Saxon Cars Are Now
Put to Many Uses in
Different Sections

As an. indication Of the widespread ap-
peal of the small car. the Saxon Motor
company has Just made known some in
teresting facts about Saxon cars in ser
vice.
One owner. a real estate concern in De-
trot, contributes $50 toward the pur-
chase OF a Saxon by each OF its sales
men. Another owner who sells adding
machines drives his car about in making
calls and displays a miniature adding
machine on the hood OF the automobile
Among rural free delivery carriers
Saxon cars are in frequent use. One Of
these carriers in South Carolina covers a
MISUNDERSTANDING route in one hour and
forty-five minutes, making over 100 stops.
The recent action of the government In
Increasing the allowance Of rural free
delivery men and extending the territory
to be covered by them has caused many
TO be interested In small automobiles of
low operation and upkeep cost.
In one day the Chicago dealer of the
saxon company sold cars to priest. an
Instructor in technical school and the
head walter In one OF the leading hotels.
Another owner near Chicago, a woman
20 years old, drives her car herself.
The leading man of one Of tho largest

0ldfield's Racing
Cars Here Waiting
for Flyer BeaChey

The two fastest dirt track cars in the
world. belonging to the veteran speed
bug. Barney Oldfield. are In Omaha this
week, awaiting the arrival OF Lincoln
Beachey with whom Oldfield starts west
on an exhibition tour after Ak-sar-Ben.
The cars are no other than the famous
30O-horsepower front drive Christie and
the 1Oo-horsepower Fiat cyclone and they
are on exhibition in the windows OF the
Drummond Motor company and Mas
ter Sales company respectively.
Just at the present time the Fiat Cy-
clone is q car TO which special interest is
attached on account Of its performance
at 81. Louis on September 20, when Old
field broke all worlds records from one
to five miles, making the mile in forty
four seconds, the two miles in 1:27 and
the five miles In 1905
NJ. :. Livingston. manager of the Mas
ter Sales company, points with pride to
the fact that the car is equipped with
Master carburetor He maintains that fast
track driving comprises one Of the hard
est tests 10 which n carburetor can be
put The eXacting nature OF the work
he says, demands the very best in car
buretor construction and design. per
feet mixture must be had at all times, for,
in order to make the best possible speed
on track, the car must get away like
lightning out Of the turns, which would
not be possible II the slightest ovorloadin3
OF the carbcrutoT took place. II is a ques-
ton Of alternately opening and closing
the throttle TO It's fullest extent, accom-
plishing each operation by one quick
movement OF the foot. only perfect car
buretor can do its work under these ex-
acting conditions and deliver the motor $
fun efficiency. In q talk which Mr.. Liv-
ingston had with Oldfield recently the
latter told him that he had been one Of
the first to use the Master carburetor In
racing, as its simplicity and completeness
OF design had instantly appealed to him
He further added that his actual racing
experience had more than confirmed his
first judgment. Racing drivers naturally
insist on the very best that they can pos
sibly get in any line and the fact that
oldfield uses a Master when he goes after
worlds records is in itself a sufficient
recommendation for the csrburetor.

The distance is equivalent 10 q trip from
New York to Louisville. KY, which would
not be considered particularly noteworthy
In the United states where automobiles
are In general use and roads, for the
most part. are in excellent shape. But
those who realize the extreme conditions
encountered in South Africa declare that
the timo recorded is remarkable. The
roads are rough and sandy, IN places be-
coming merely bush tracks. This in itself
disoourages long distance automobile
runs. In addition, the Overaldn was de-
layed by lO4 gates marking the boundaries
Of the large African ranches The driver
was forced TO bring the car 10 a dead
stop. dismount, drive through then stop
and close the gate before starting on his
way. The only Involuntary stop was
caused Ivy q punoture on famous MR1uha
hill.
The run Is considered a great test Of
skill and endurance ON the part Of the
driver, who handled the wheel from start
to finish throughout the round trip.
From o'clock on Saturday afternoon
until $3.50 Monday afternoon he was with
out sleep, having only a short rest Of
five hours during the two days. The
passenger, who accompanied him, was
unable to handle a motor car.
The car used Is a roadster OF standard
construction with mudguards, windshield,
lights and full equipment throughout,

OAKLAND CAR MAKES

In England and on the continent, pros

attention TO the performances OF cars in

contest idea Is growing rapidly In the
United States, In this country, however.
only stock cars are used without any
special preparation while across the water.

gree and in many cases special cars are
built To win these contests.
In the recent Lake Tahoe endurance
run from san Francisco to Lake Tahoe
Tavern, and return, q distance OF hSa
miles. a new stock model 81 Oakland
touring car made clean record. This
car had been run only n few miles before
entering the contest and the only prepare
ton made was TO oil It up and iii the gas
tank and radiator. Not single adjust
ment was mRdes on tho entire trip. This
run is a severe test for any car; at one
place an elevation OF over 1000 feet was
reached, The new Oakland proved that
II had plenty OF power to negotiate these
heavy mountain grades. Not a bolt OF
nut was loosened, which speaks we'll foI

EAST RECOVERING FROM WAR
FTeer Buying Now Than Prevailed
at Opening Of Struggle.
NO EUROPEAN COMPETITION
American Automobiles WIN Have

In New York, Due 60 war
Across the Pond.

NJ. J. Budlong. president OF the Pack
ard Motor company OF New York. said
in q recent interview. that he was con-
fident that the sale OF high grade Amer
lean cars would suffer very little as a
result Of the European war
The war has naturally affected bus
mess in New York moro than it has in
the west, and the automobile industry has
quite naturally suffered more heavily
than commerce in staple necessities"
said Mr.. Budlong. But that injury can
not be very great or permanent Even
now, with the war only few weeks
old. 1 notice evidences Of much freer
buying than prevailed with the opening
Of the struggle.
The capacity OF the United States for
adjusting itself to intense situations
will prevent business stagnation, now
that the first great shock OF Europe's
terrible tragedy is over.
a large number Of Americans who
ordinarily spend the summer and early
fall months in Europe are now forced TO
return home and In many cases without
the cars they had intended TO buy II
Europe. This means an immediate and
greatly increased demand for high class
cars made In America Again, We have
received many orders from men connected
with various industries that have i'm
mediately prospered as result Of the
war, and who. In some cases. have made
tremendous sums in an incredibly short
time.
Foreign Competition Nil.
owing 20 the foreign manufacturers
inability TO insure delivery and to sup
ply parts, the European car competition
will be practically eliminated for the
time being. Many Of the men who have
driven foreign cars exclusively in the
past, have done so merely from habit
and have never realized the superior
qualities OF the American made car. In
varisbly their first purchase Of an Amer.
lean car leads TO their complete CON
version.
Present indication being that the war
In Europe will not be terminated soon.
business interests and popular sentiment
are bound TO settle speedily to a rational
basis. Europe's necessity will he Amer

representatives OF continental countries
are negotiating here for the purchase OF
hundreds of heavy American motor
trucks. The European production OF
motor trucks has always been limited,
and now crippled, as II is, by the raw
ages OF war. Europe must turn to Amer
lean manufacturers as the sole source
Of this product
Il confidently predict gradual read

new requirements that have been thrust
upon us. There is no real foundation for
