Washington Agents Visit Fac

ORDERS BREAK ALL RECORDS
Dealers Swamped With Demon
stration and Sales for Over
Two Weeks.
By WILLIAM P. ROSE.

with a number of the local autono-
bile men making trips to the factories
which they represent in frantic en-
deavor to get more cars shipped to
their sales rooms, the greatest selling
season in the history OF the industry In
Washington Is coming to a close. Two
more months Wilt probably clean out
every local agency.
"Buy now-make UP your mind-book
your order at once" is the kindest
hearted, most sincere advice that can
be given to any intending purchaser.
Ten chances to one. an order booked
now will not get delivery for several
weeks, SO that any hesitancy may cause
a prolonged postponement Of pleasure
trips, with the possible prospects Of
actually being compelled to wait for
the 1916 models, which will not begin
to arrive in any great numbers until
August or later.
The most casual trip along automo-
bile row will confirm this report.
Register Clean Sweep.
The Buick branch registered a clean
sweep several weeks ago. Cook G. stod-
dard, the Cadillac agents. had just one
roadster model on the floor FOR i'm
mediate delivery last week; shipments
are coming in weekly. but orders are
coming faster. Joe Trew, Of the REQ
Agency, made a flying trip to Michi-
gan, last week to secure faster ship
msnts on REQ cars. and returned with
assurances that bigger anotments
would be made to Washington; but the
smith-Trew Company is still several
orders behind delivery. There may be
more cars later but the wise man VINO
wants a REQ will get his order In In
hsste; t;s;,, ,,r,,,.. ,.s ,ssn 70 the
King and Pullman factories recently
trying to get more cars. Unusual num-
bers of both these makes have been
sold this season. He has recently taken
Booth. but even on this model he can
not get enough cars to supply the de-
mand. without delay.
During the past few months, says
w.. esseesSnsy poor Sy
broke all records. We are increasing
our factory to turn out 600 cars day
but orders should be given now"
The Oldsmobile agents, the Pollock
Corporation. report that the total
amount Of business in these cars for
April, 1915, shows an increase of 50 pei
oent over the corresponding month OF
1914. Fairly prompt deliveries can, how
ever. be made on the small model.
"Buy Now" tho Slogan.
Cole eights are being purchased in
thts country at the rate Of 200 per week
moro Packards were shipped In the
month Of April than in any other month
Of its fourteen years Of existence; the
6Axon Motor Company shipped over
1,Soo cars in April; 46,5lO Fords wero
shipped in the same month.
The Ford Agency. Miller Brothers.
heve taken orders for over $50 new cars
Already this month even though they
started May more than 200 orders be-
hind on deliveries, and the assembling
plant Is turning them out on the road
as fast as night and day work will
permit
And so 1t might be reported Of nearly
every automobile sales room in the city.
Most of them are swamped with dem
onstrations and sales. The proper
move for any prospective purchaser Of a
motor car to be used this summer. is
to buy now

'TRANSCONT|NENTAL
TOUR RECORD BROKEN

Breaking all records on a transconti-
mental tour, e. G. Baker. driving q
Stutz "Bearcat," reached New York at
10 o'clock Tuesday morning. having
started eleven days ago from the San
Diego Exposition. Bakers actual rum
ming time was II days, hours Is min
utcs. and the distance covered ATS
miles In this run he broke his own
motorcycle transcontinental record when
he covered by another route the distance
of 1878 miles in II days IL hours 10 min
utes.
Accompanying Baker and acting as
official observer was w. +. Sturm, an
indianapolis, Ind. newspaper man. The
car is one of the regular Bearcat models
such as sold of the salesroom floor to
customers, the few additions in equip
inent being shovel. extra horn, extra
lamps. block and tackle. etc. The run
was remarkable In that there were sew
eral days Of hard rains en- route.
Run Without Mishap.
The trip was made without mishap of
any sort, no motor or transmission
trouble being encountered, and the
motor had the same healthy hum when
1t purred into New York city as when
IT left San Diego at midnight May s.
&c Gar went through on one set OF
tires, the front casing still holding Cali
| fornia air. while the rear ones were sub
| ject to four punctures.
Baker drove every inch OF the way.
but according to Sturm. riding in the
seat beside him was equally strenuous
work. If not more so, for at times when
Baker hit the high spots. his mate was
bounced out OF his seat repeatedly. some
! times landing 81 the gasolene tank. The
| run was not under the sanction OF the
American Automobile Association for
the reason that the A. A. A. will not
| sanction a contest OF this nature where
speed on public highways is a factor.
However, the Stutz crew respected speed
laws in all Of the cities and towns en-
Countered, and made their fast time In
open country.
The route included every possible
road condition, desert, mountain, plain,
| sand. mud and boulevard. Night stops
were made at Phoenix. Ariz.: FL Paso,
| Texas; Hoswell, n. NJ; Plainfield.
Kan: Emporia. Kan: Lexington. Mo
Greenville. ILL.,: Dayton. Ohio; Green's
burg. Pa. and Philadelphia.
Longest Days Run 592 Miles.
The longest days run was on the Sec
| ond leg Of the trip. when the distance
Of 5s2 miles from Phoenix to El Paso
was covered and this was one OF the
hardest. There were about ninety miles
Of mountain climbing. some miles OF
exceedingly bad going near Bisbee
Ariz:, and more than 100 miles OF desert
sand.

Slipping Clutches.
Various remedies are suggested fol-
harsh acting leather faced cone Clutches
but as a rule the relief is but tempo
rary. A more efficient repair is to in
sert number Of old hacksaw blades OF
similar strips OF material under the
leather at points Numerically opposit.
to one another. To do this. the clutch
cone should be removed or the clutch
fully disengaged. Raise the rear edge
Of the leather with the blade Of a screw
driver, so that a thin strip Of metal ma,
be driven underneath the leather. The
insertion should extend from one side
of the cone to the other.
Rotate tho clutch and insert a strir
exactly opposite. Then place two in
termediate pieces at equal distances
from the hrst. and 30 on, using six OF
more. The strips must be opposit,
each other or the balance Of the
clutch will be disturbed. The metal
strips raise the leather slightly at 81,
points. and these parts must be com
pressed before the grip Of the entir,
clutch surface is obtained. and the
engagement is gradual.
The same method may be utilized tc
cure a slipping clutch, due to a hard
leather. hut the remedy will be bu
temporary. II the action of clutch
be harsh after fitting a new leather
and treating 1t with oil fails to OBJ.

leather lightly with powdered graph

Efficiency of Headlights.


Much Of the superiority Of the cleo
trio headlight is due to the parabohc
reflector which affords a powerful
parallel beam expanding at an angle
OF four degrees. and difused beam
expanding quickly at an angle or ny
degrees with properly designed
lamps this quickly diverging beam Is
quite unreflected and free from side
glaring effects. Many motorists are
not aware of the relative values OF
the lens mirror (gas lamps) and the
parabola reflector.
With the former about 20 per cent
of the effective candlepower VIII de-
liver light rays that are reflected or
magnified, while with the electric
lamp practically rs per cent is usetul.
It Is estimated that a 12-candlepower
electric bulb properly focused In
parabola reflector Will give as mucn
light as a 40-candlepower gas flame
in q lamp having concaVo-conNeA
lens mirror. -.
with the lens mirror the rays OF
