ment of 346 cubic inches and gives 9 maximum
torque Of 1878 pounds-feet.
As regards balance, while admitting that there
il an unbalanced force in an Eight due to the
inertia of reciprocating parts, Mr.. Crawford main
tanned that this was Of far less consequence than
was generally made out to be the case. On the
other hand owing to the much more rigid crank
shaft employed in an Eight, as compared with
Six or Twin Six there Is no trouble from torsional
vibration in the Eight, and he considered the tor
sional vibration at critical speeds far serious
matter than vibration due TO unbalanced inertia
forces.
Mr. Crawford also described various construc-
tons Of eight-cylinder crankshafts in which the
cranks are placed at quarters with which he claimed
the inertia forces due to the reciprocating parts
were absolutely balanced.
in previous discussions Is that it is less accessible
than the Six or Twin Six. The fact that the Access
series in an Eight cannot be placed in the conven-
tonal position at the side Of the cylinders was
considered decidedly Instantaneous. Mr.. Craw-
ford, showing photograph of an Eight with the
different accessories in place, pointed out that
though the position of the accessories was not tho
conventional one, they were very advantageously
located

Our Puncture Product Prospers.

II may be distressing to roalize, but an expert
writing In 1.-THE Automobile" warns N that during
1915 we are destined to get 900 punctures. At
leas he says that will be tho number Of tires tho
motorists of the United States will consume during
the coming twelve months.
He estimates that when the 100000 cars which
are to be built during 1918 added to the 2,2oo
900 cars now in use the owners will consume
this enormous number of tires.
They will be turned out by forty-two tire fact
cries, nearly all Of which increasing their
manufacturing facilities to meet the demand. The
highest production Of any plant he says, is
10000 tires day. From this they range down to
the smaller plants, which make less than 100 per
day.
II the American factories keep up with the de-
mand for the coming year they must deliver to
their dealers about $4,000 tires q day.
The tire companies have been preparing for near
ly q year to meet the increased demand. and sew
eral Of them have practically doubled the size Of
their plants.
In Akron, Ohio, the tire capital Of the United
States hundreds Of buildings have been erected
within the past eight months. Machinery has been
rolling in on every train and hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars worth Of material has been stored
Despite competition all the big tire makers re-
port heavy business. and the general impression is
that prices are likely to advance during the coming
spring.
While the war lasts the rubber market will re

advance in the price of crude rubber. At present

City Officials Aroused
Over Reckless Driving
Police Commissioners Sends
Letter to Truck Owners
Urging Cooperation.

Secretary A. Jackson Marshall Of the
Electric Vehicle Association has been
making a study of reckless driving in
New York. He has collected statistics
Ct accidents and spent considerable
time consulting with city officials on
corrective measures.
"Chief City Magistrate McAdoo and
Police Commissioner Woods" .he says,
"agree that fnger-printing reckless
automobile drivers, including owners
Of cars, would provide protection for
the public. However, before this ex-
IRENE measure is taken the chief
magistrate presents plan providing
that a copy Of each summons be sent
70 his Office daily, and that the cour'
clerks be advised each morning as 70
whether or not defendants are second
or third offenders or have no previous
record.
at might be interesting in this con-
nection to realize that practically all
means so far suggested for the pro-
lection OF the public have 70 deal with
offenders after they have killed or
manned a pedestrian. which is like
locking the stable after the horse has
run away. What we really need is
condition which will make it wellnigh
impossible for incompetent operators

Long Tour in Hupmobile.

William j. Schutt, q bsrrister, of
Melbourne, Australia, is visiting in De-
troit, a guest Of Joseph r. Drake, vice
president of the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany. Mr.. Schutt. accompanied by his
wife and Miss Elsie Ingram, has been
travelling through the United States
since last February, and has just
finished motor trip in Hupmobile
through the Eastern states.
He has now visited every part Of the
United States, Cuba and Alaska, and
cannot give too much praise for the
states, and has been greatly impressed
with the country generally.
The party landed in San Francisco
last February, and after visiting South
ern California proceeded TO the Grand
Canyon, New Orleans, Jacksonville,
Fla; Havana, Cuba: St. Augustine,
Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia
and New York. From New York Mr..
Schutt's party started their motor trip
in the Hupmobile, going through the
Catskills to Buffalo; Niagara Falls, To-
ronto and back to Buffalo, thence to
the Thousand Islands and to Ottawa,
Montreal, Quebec. and then down
through Lake Champlain and Lake
George to Saratoga and Albany. From
Albany they toured through the Berk-
shires to Boston and TO Portsmouth,
Poland Springs and Breton Woods;
then back to Boston and New York and
70 Buffalo by the Mohawk trail. They
covered 4,500 miles by motor car.
Before leaving Australia Mr.. Schutt,
on account Of his German sounding
name, took especial precautions in Sc
curing not only the usual passport
signed by the Governor General, but
also obtained special letters from the
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs,
which is the Australian equivalent for
our Secretary of State, and from the
Premier Of Victoria, which is the state
in which Melbourne is located.

valuable data regarding automobile
casualties 1t has occurred TO me thai
blanks for reporting accidents should
be used by the police stating exactly
the type of vehicle responsible, wheth-
err commercial or passenger, horse,
gasolene or electric. If results were
reduced to a comparable basis it would
then be possible to determine chief
offenders and corrective measures
could readily be adopted.
During the first six months Of this
year 8.075 Automobiles were arrested
for speeding in the city. according to
the figures issued by Chief Magistrate
McAdoo, who is urging a crusade
against such offenders. OF these, 2,OJ2
were chauffeurs and 983 owners of cars
There were 425 additional arrests, d.
vided between 144 motor cyclists, los
drivers of horse-drawn vehicles and
116 cases which were dismissed.
"The records show one prison sem
tence Of ten days by Magistrate Muir
ray without the alternative of fine.
Of the other cases, 1863 paid fines, 94S
served two days each in Jail in lieu of
paying fines and SIG were released on
suspended sentences.
police Commissioner Woods has
sent out 5000 letters to the owners of
motor trucks, in which he asked for
their cooperation in preventing "cci-
dents After saying that the Police
Department was paying special atten
ton to the motor trucks and had put
on extra motorcycle men for that pur-
pose, he says:
"'The dangers of the situation would
be lessened if motor trucks were
equipped with governors, which would
absolutely prevent the truck from be-
ing driven faster than the law allows.
Drivers must be prevented from tam
pering with governors and setting them
so the cars can run twenty or twenty
five miles an hour, instead Of limiting
them TO fifteen.
"'This letter is written to urge you
TO cooperate with us by having all
your motor trucks equipped with gov.
ernors. which shall keep the speed Of
the trucks down to fifteen miles, and
then 10 institute such a system OF IN
spection that these governors shall not
be tempered with, and therefore the
trucks under your control shall never
exceed the speed limit"

Like the present buildings of the big
group. it will be one story high, with
saw-tooth roof of glass and tile. The
