OF INTEREST TO MOTORISTS
PROBABLE BIG SURPRISE
At new YORK auto Snow
Rumored the Paige Motor Car Company
Will Make Startling Price An
nouncement in Connection With the
Well-known Four "36"

There is a rumor afoat in automobile
circles that the Paige Motor Car Com
pany is going to spring big surprise
at the New York Show by announcing
record breaking price in connection
with their well-known Four "S6.'
Gossip has it that this Paige model
is the same ear that was introduced at
$1275, and that the new price will be
s1O75, retaining every single one of
the high grade features which it en-
| bodied.
If this rumor is correct, the an
nouncement of the new price will be
one of the biggest sensations of the
show. This Four "36" is the car that
by its tremendous success and popular
ity has brought the Paige Company
from the ranks of the smaller manu-
facturers to its present enviable posi-
tion as one of the ten leading motor
car builders.
The new Paige Six "46" will also be
announced at the New York Show, and
will be on exhibition. 1t is claimed
| that this car sets new standard of
"Six" values at its exceptional price
of 1896.
The body design of this new Six
| is exceedingly striking, being OF the
most advanced stream line type which
is enhanced by the rounding body,
tapering hood and "v" type radiator.
The mechanical units of this ear are
worthy of note, namely: cantilever
springs, Gray & Davis electric system,
Bosch magnetic, Paige Continental mo-
| tor, etc.
The Paige exhibit will be unusually
interesting to the individual buyers as
the cars displayed are regular stock
machines, showing exactly what pur-
chaser buys. This is quite out of the
usual run of such matters as hitherto
manufacturers have spent weeks and
even months in preparing their show
cars, building them regardless of ex-
pense and loading them with every pos
sible accessory, much of which is not
| included in the regular stock models.
There will be on display both a
touring and roadster model of the new
six-cylinder car, and similar models of
their four-cylinder car. In addition
! they will have on exhibition their four
and six motor cut away so that every
| part of the working mechanism is ex-
| hlDltcu, IIlS VIII give even the ldymdn
clear idea of the mechanical features
and will call attention to the character
istic features of the Paige product.
You can see at glance the silent
spiral gears that make up the drive for
cam shafts, water pump, generator, etc
The motor is cut away so that the
cylinder walls and pistons are visible,
also the crank shaft and connecting
rods. In fact all the vitals of the en-
gine are exposed to view-Adv."

Boring Thin Glass

Everybody who has tried under
stands how difficult it is to bore hole
in a strip of thin glass. The following
method is said TO be very successful: !:
Press a cake of wet clay upon the glass
and then make hole through the clay
of the desired size, laying bare the
glass at the bottom of the hole. Then
pour melted lead into the hole, and it
will drop through the glass, making a
round aperture. The explanation is that
the sudden application of heat cracks
the glass in a circle corresponding in
size with the hole in the clay.-New
York Tribune.

american MOTORCYCLISTS
Tests Lincoln Highway

Of great interest to motorcyclists is
the test recently made by the Lin
coin Highway Association of the new
transcontinental route. Arrangements
were made for each Lincoln Highway
consul TO cover the part of the route
in his territory all starting at the
same time. Thus practically the whole
1888 miles was covered in day. Re-
ports from all of the consuls have not
yet been turned in, but those so far
received show the roads in fairly good
condition, and very little difficulty ex-
perieneed in negotiating them. This
means that future transcontinental
tourists will be able to follow direct
well marked route from ocean to
ocean. 1t also means that long line
of automobiles and motorcyclists will
next summer take the trail to the
Panama-Paciic exposition.

girl motorcyclist, who is touring the
world on her wheeler, accomp panied
by her dog Trouble as her only

greatest distance ever Travelled by a
girl on motorcycle with sidecar. And
this Is only a very small part of the
trip which Miss Crewe plans to ac.
complish. When asked her reason for
making this tour, Miss Crewe replied:
" Well, l love nature better than beau.
tiful clothes or luxuries, and / decided
that L would enjoy trip of this kind
more than anything else. 1t is the call

NEW LIFE IN SOUTH

he said:
"Condit1ons are very different now

were then demOraliZed on account o5
the low price of cotton. We planted
the last crop Of cotton with the cX
pectation of getting about twelve cents
pound for it, and sold it for seE~u.
We planted this crop with the eXI,ot-
tatiOn of getting seven and Will sell
it for eleven or twelve. We mah-
back this year what we lost last The
south last year was hit hard The
people were discouraged and lost their
bearings. We did not stand up as We
ought to have stood We called for
help when we should have helped our
selves and we did help ourselves, vs.
learned a lesson from those condl-

to learn that it is necessary to diver
sify crops to always be ready for such
an emergency as we faced a year aFo.
