CABRIOLET BODY
ATTAINS POPULARITY
All Year Round Type of Body VIII
q Supplant Roadster Models, Says
Manufacturers.

SupnlumE ROADSTER Models says
Manufacturers.
That the cabriolet type of roadster
will eventually supplant a majority of
the old style roadsters within a few
years, is the opinion of certain motor
car makers.
In the past 10 years no body style
has appeared on the market which has
won such instant popular approval as
the three passenger ca briolet or all year
round car" says a manufacturer. Each
season finds larger proportion of
motor car owners who keep their cars
running throughout the winter months.
Protection against the sleet and cold
is. Of course, necessary to the mOtorist
who places any value on bodily COM
fort.
IN former years an owner of a. two
passenger roadster had the choice of
substituting an expensive and Ofttimes
heavy coupe body, or getting through
the winter with the protection afforded
by adjustable curtains Today at a
very slight increase in cost, he can
purchase a completely equipped car
that is really two automobiles in one.
The cabriolet has all the advantages
and snappy appearance of the roadster
with the very cOmmendable feature of
becoming fully enclosed car at the
will of the driver. The leather top
may be folded down in such a way as
to give no indication of the cars con
vertible nature. With the top up, the
side windows can be le-s open and the
roadster appearance is still maintained
The windows fold into the door, and in
order to place them in position it is
only necessary to oIen the doors, fold
the windows upward, and the car be-
comes the fully enclosed cabriolet.
Outside of the annoyance caused by
the transfer of open and closed bodies
q
or so, on the ordinary type of body,
the cabriolet because of its light
weight, contributes largely to the long
life of the tires. From my experience
Of the past season, I confidently be-
icve that the cabriolet sales of the
next few years will far outstrip the
sale of roadsters to buyers looking for
real utility and convenience"

THE AUTOMOBILE AND
THE WITTY FRESHMAN

This story, on the authority Of a
true blue, or true green, Irishman who
has a sufficient sense of humor to in
sure his enjoyment of an occasional
joke on his own race, may, hope, be
repeated without fear of offence to
other sons of the "ould sod" says a
writer in the New York sun.
Hennessy was eXtolling the qualities
of the automobile, its value as an ac-
CessOry, etc.
Back came one Of his hearers, an
other Irishman; Say, Hennessy, what
are you singing the praises Of the auto
fOr2 Don't you know it was the wheel
barrow that taught the Irish to walk
on their hind legs?"

MAKING GASOLINE FROM
THE Use OF KATITRA

The extraction of gasoline from cas-
inghead gas natural gas from oil
ant adjuncts of the natural gas indus
try in the United States. The produc-
ton is increasing rapidly, the quantity
produced in 1913 having almost doubled
that Of 1912 owing to the installation
Of a greater number of plants and to
the advance in the price of gasoline.
The uses of natural gas gasoline are
many and varied. 1t is principally used
for raising the standard of naphthas or
low grade distillates consumed in mo-
tors; it is also used for lighting; and
it can be used like regular gasoline in
all the arts There is an ever increas-
ing demand for this gas to be used in
automobiles.

LOCATING ENGINE TROUBLE.

Loss Of compression, either in one
cylinder from broken rings, or in sew
eral from wear, is a common cause
of missfiring and loss Of usual power
With self starters in use it Is very
difficult to discover this trouble until
the engine fails to give proper push.
Usually slowly cranking the engine
with spark off will give an idea to the
proper compression

KILLS PRAIRIEDOGS
WITH GAS FROM AUTO

Killing prairiedogs with an automo-
bile is a new game. A Dakota man
has found this game a success and uses
the following method: Running a pipe
or tube from the exhaust of the auto
into the prairiedog hole, he lets the
machine run until a lot Of poisonous
gas is forced into the den and then
fills the opening to prevent the gas
from escaping. He reports this as eff
fective as the use Of carbOn.-BiG

MERELY COMMENT :
The Marshall Field estate is the f,
biggest newspaper advertiser in
town. 80
The Marshall Field estate is one of
the owners of the Chicago Tele-
phone Co., the Commonwealth Edi-
son, the Peoples Gas and the street
railway companies.
That may help to throw light on
the attitude of newspapers toward
Chicago public utilities.
The trust press refers to Alderman
Kennedy sneeringly as Socialist
How they love to call names when
a public official tries to serve the pub
lie.
What difference does it make what
party a public official belongs to so
long as he faithfully serves all of the
people?
Undoubtedly they would call Ken
nedy perfect gentleman if he were
serving the public utilities and took
orders from newspaper bosses.
Will somebody kindly inform US
why the bar association should pick
our judges for us? g..
