manufacturer than they were several
years ago when the use of the very
highest grade steels and other materials
builders OF high-prlced cars. The manu-
facturers have also learned that through
the use of the hlgher-grade metals that
the weight of their cars can be materially
reduced without impairing the service or
endurance OF the cars. In fact this con-
struction has tendency to lengthen the
life of all motor cars
The Fred c. Huffman Automobile COM
panv has just received an eight-cylinder
Detroiter unit power plant which they
arc exhibiting In their salesroom. This
motor is not specially built for exhibition
purposes, but Is standard stock motor
end its object is to give those who are
interested in eight-cylinder cars an OPP
portunity TO pass Judgment on II where
all parts are accessible. While the motor
only arrived Friday afternoon. it has al
ready attracted large crowds and Il will
probably be necessary to continue the
exhibition for the next ten days. There
Is no part that cannot be subjected TO
the closest examination, and in this fact
II is evident that the manufacturer has
thoroughly perfected every detail before
adopting this type of motor. While the
experimental work has been going on for
tho last two years It was not adopted
by the Briggs-Detroiter company until
last January and was announced
simultaneously with several other of the
new type motors.

The speeds possible with our 3OO-nch

the motor, the improvements have been
carried all through the chassis. Today
we have 3Oo-inch motors IN cars weighing
less than Zoo pounds, Whereas four or
five years ago We had t50-inch motors In
cars Weighing 1850 pounds or more. The

n ARALLELING In Importance the 500

nouncement just made by the Packard
Motor Car Co. that Il will market twelve
cylinder model for 1915, leaving the former
skies to rest peacefully in the discard. Pack
ards bold announcement is the first OF It's
kind ever made in the world and it marks
decided step toward Americas supremacy in
the field OF motor car engineering. Twelves
have been constructed before this, but never
has a concern perfected such a motor SO as
to make 1t practical for use in regular stock
models
There have been many rumors concerning
the Packard intentions for the coming year
and q car with twelve cylinders has been an
ticipated in many quarters. But the Packard

Compare this little piston weight with that
In the Packard six-3s. This car has motor
displacement OF Ala cubic inches or only 10
less than the present model, but each piston
weighs pounds 2 ounces and the total re-
eiprocating mass pounds ounces. Thus
II is easy TO see wherein lies the extraordi-
nary smoothness OF the twin six.
To appreciate this smoothness in eombina-
ton with high power IT is essential to ride
in the car. All that one can say is that the
twelve is an attempt to combine the advan-
tages Of six and eight and TO simultaneously
eliminate many of the disadvantages of both.
To what extent the attempt has succeeded Is
a matter for each man to decide for himself.

with the twelve on the road Is sufficient to
prove to the average motorist that there 10

these are the two most vital neccssi-

natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen

More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry. in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling Of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal

the ninth century and was followed
there down TO the middle of the seven

the first symptom that an animal OF
bird is sick The ostrich is one OF
the most provoking in this respect
and, If heroic measures be not adopt
ed, soon becomes so thin as TO become
prey to some really dangerous all
ment
A fine South African ostrich re
ceived from Arizona at the New York
Geological gardens in Bronx park last
summer refused his breakfast on De
cember %, 1914. He showed no other
symptoms of illness. A week passed
and he began to look thin. Keeper
George Snyder, at considerable person
al risk, began a system of forcible
feeding, ramming bolus after bolus OF
food wrapped in lettuce leaves down
the throat of the unwilling bird.
This treatment was kept up for
more than six weeks, and the ostrich
became so accustomed to, it that he
ceased TO resist. On February 6. 1915
he first evinced a willingness TO feed
himself, and within a short time his
hunger strike was over.
