In response to inquiries as to the de-
tails of construction of the new Serco

Murray, president of the Safety Electric

says:
we use spring contact buttons which
are absolutely positive, the button cas-
ings being made of composition. The
wheel is slotted three-sixteenths of an
inch for one wire and the slot is refilled
with small lengths of wood, which affords
a natural finish to the wheel.
This arrangement Is very inexpensive;
that is. considerably less than any ar
rangement now on the market, and in
view of the fact of its meritorious ad-
vantages, there is hardly a comparison
with any signal device that has come to
our attention, as this is one of those
electrical refinements which allows that
ease of operation that is so familiar in
self-starting and lighting. which replaced
the crank and matches. With a new de-
sign, We are now able to place one button

.BERBERICHS ENJOY
LURAY CAVES TRIP
Go on Three Days Excursion by Auto
to Places of Interest in
Virginia.

Last Wednesday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph A. Berberich, with their six chill
dren, started on a three-day trip to the
Luray Caves. The first stop was made
at Ridgeville for breakfast After leav-
ing Ridgeville, the party passed through
Frederick. Harpers Ferry, Berryville and
Winchester, where a stop was made for
dinner. Mr.. Berberich remarked that
they obtained an excellent dinner at the
hotel for so cents.
, From Winchester the trip into Luray
was made by way Of New Market. Va
The pull up the long grade of the Mas
sanuten Mountain being about seven
miles and the entire distance fourteen
miles. This stretch is the only heavy
going of the entire trip. but one Is well
repaid for any little discomfort by the
beauty of the scenery and wonderful
beauties Of Inc cave. Mr.. Berberich re-
marked that in making the pull up the
mountain it is essential to keep a sharp
lookout on the two horseshoe bends be-
cause there may be teams coming down
and it isn't well to take any risks.
Hotels at Luray are said to be excellent
and the meal enjoyable after the long
pull and an hour and half spent in
making the trip through the cave.
One passes through a number of small
towns on this trip and it isn't advisable
to speed as the authorities keep a sharp
watch: this is especially true at New
Market.
The party of eight returned Thursday
evening. making the run from Harpers
Ferry to Washington in a little over four
hours The 1915 Mitchell big six made the
trip without engine or tire trouble.

During the coming year "a per cent
increase in output is scheduled for this
latest Franklin. the price of which is

Though the Franklin has always been
known as a lightweight car, the series
is further step in this direction, as 1t
reduces the weight of last seasons car
of the same size by seyenty-five pounds.
This material betterment has been OBJ
tanned through the liberal use OF alumni
mum throughout the construction. sixty
parts in all being made of tEis material.
The mudguards are now of aluminium. as
are the cylinder jackets, valve cage caps.
running board shields and numerous other
chassis and body parts.
The body of the Franklin has long,
sweeping lines which extend from the
seat back forward to the cowl without
break. The upholstery is brought up to
the top of the seats in a flush joint. with
out the padded roll. The leather is of
bright finish There are no exposed door
handles, their function being taken care
of by a push button placed along the top
edge of the door. All holdings and strip

the horn underneath the hood and by
providing transmission drive for the
speedometer shaft. The standard color

a definite stop but to those which may
be due to breakdowns or accidents of
any nature.

may be necessary, to enable teams to
pass with safety. In no case must
animals be passed on the road at
speed greater than eight miles per
hour.
The schedules from place to place
provide that automobiles must keep

PAIGE Will NEED new
FACTORY BUILDINGS
Announcement of New Models to Be

The enlargement of the factory of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company, an
nounced some time ago as a step neces-
sary to meet increased demand, is now
we'll under way, construction having
been started on the big addition which
will double the capacity of the plant.
The building is being rushed to compile
ton AS fast as possible.
1t is already apparent that this step
was absolutely imperative. as the pros
poets for the new season lust opening
are such that the Paige company believe
its resources will he strained to the ut
most. Two announcements for 1916 were
recently made-the launching of the new
Paige five-passenger light six t'SiN So }.
and the issue of a new edition of the big
six six 49,. the seven-passenger model.
The response was immediate and of such
nature that the officials are consratu-
lating themselves on the steps already
taken to increase their output.
We believe" says Harry NJ. Jewett.
president of the Paige company, I'VE are
in for our biggest and most profitable
year. While we have reduced the price
of our big six s1co and are offering a new
light six. a five-passenger car, that is a
regular Paige through and through. we
do not attribute the immediate interest
shown in these cars entirely to the mat
ter of values offered. There is every in
dication throughout the country that the
year is to be prosperous one. This is
due TO the splendid condition of the far
mer, the fact that general business is.
and has been for some time. on the up
grade. and to the supreme confidence of
the people in the ability of the powers
that be at Washington to keep us out
of serious interna tional difficulties. It's
going to be a big year for every manu-
facturer who has the right product at
the right price

SECRET OF THE NEW
MAXWELL LEAKED OUT
Orders for 1000 1916 Cars Came in
Before Plans Were An

Because of keen competition, mys-
terry has always surrounded the pro-
duction of a new automobile. From
chief engineer to factory hand every
thing is kept in strictest confidence
Even in the executive Offices an omin-
Gus silence prevails.
But. at last, there is an instance
And the Maxwell is the victim.
No one seems to know how it hap
pened. At the three Maxwell plants al

plan and specification of the 1916
wonder car" was carefully guarded
The usual mystery" was continually
in evidence. Until our first big ad-
vertisement appears throughout the
country" remarked one of the OFF,
Gals recently. mo one can say just
what we're going to offer"
In view of this attitude, the sur
prise can we'll be imagined. when.
within the last ten days. orders for
more than 1900 1916 Maxwells were
received at Detroit.
One dealer gave the only inkling
of a clue yet uncovered. 1T would
be a wonder if you left it just as it
is" he wrote with his order. That's
why we want to be certain of enough
cars to take care of the rush for Max
wells that will surely follow your
announcement"
Sixty thousand more Maxwells will
be marketed during the coming sea-
son. This mammoth production will be
responsible for a startling announce
ment, it is predicted. But there is
amazement in the Maxwell camp to see
orders for such quantities come piling
in before even a word is said about the
latest Maxwell product.
