MOTOR CAR FIRM IS
FORCED BY ORDERS
Compelled to Resort to Heroic
Efforts to Meet Its Rush Of
Business.

Facing an ever-increasing demand for
its Twin-six motor cars. tn" Packard
Motor Car Company has been driven to
heroic efforts to maintain the necessary
production schedule In its factory. AS
a result Of the pressure for cars. F. F.
Beall. the vice president of manufac-
turing. has been getting shipments Of
bar steel by express and chartering
special trains for hauling big machine
TOOLS
Not long ago the company paid a rec
ord express charge for a special trans
mission boring machine Weighing near
ly a ton which was purchased In Wor-
cester, Mass. and rushed to Detroit. A
few days later. when the railroads
could not guarantee a hurry-up deliv-
cry on a special milling machine from
the same city. Beall chartered loco
motive and brought the freight car
through as q special train. This extra
ordinary method OF shipping machinery
was invoked a second time to transport
a special double-end drilling machine
manufactured in Spring field. Mass.
Packard ofchials say the high cost OF
these special shipments Is soon offset
BY the saving effected through the i'm
proved methods Of manufacturing.

The following tour was mapped out
by the clubs touring bureau for
Chester P. Vickery. of the r. p. An
drews Paper Co.. who Is one of WASH
ington's ardent motorists:
Washington to Baltimore, Philadel-
phia. Trenton. Somerville. Morris.own.
Suffern and Newburg At Newburg Mr..
Vickery crosses the Hudson to Pough-
keepsie, thence to Great harrington.
over Jacobs Ladder, Springfield, Wor-
cester and Boston.
Mr.. Vickery's tour follows macadam
roadway almost entirely. through the
States Il Maryland. Delaware. Pennsyl-
necticut to Massachusetts. eliminating
New York city. which point Mr.. Vick-
cry did not care to visit.
A letter containing interesting figures
regarding the growth Of transconti-
mental motor touring was received re-
Gently by William Ullman. secretary of
the club. Writing from Springerville.
Ariz. where he operates a garage and
general mercantile business. G. Becker
has the following to say about the num-
Der of parties that have passed through
his town on their way to the Pacific
Coast:
In 1911 we noted less than twenty
uNS paiticS uui ih6 lHc culiI0 ScdSOIl.
Not more than forty came through in
1912. and about seventy in 1913. Last
year the number rose rapidly. the sea
sons total being around $50. Thus far
this season we have registered 7l2 par
ties. while at this time In 1914 the total
was 150."
Another interesting fact communica ted
by Mr.. Becker Is that the cars passing
through Springerville average four pas
sengers. He further saXs that little
complaint is heard about the roads.
What bad going they strike Is ac-
cepted philosophically." he writes. Most
of them are good travellers and realize
that on trip of 80 many miles super
fine highways cannot be expected to pre-
vail"
Indicating the popularity OF the Ma
tional Capital as an objective for mo-
torists. several middle western clubs af-
filiated with the A. A. A have written
to the District Club for maps and road
data for the country contiguous TO
Washington. Particular interest Is
evinced In the routes to Mt Vernon and
Gettysburg.

HIGH SPEED MOTORS
ARE SAVERS OF FUEL
Oakland Owners Assert Sur
prising Economy Is Found in
Tires, Also.

The average motorist usually Is quick
to notice all motor superiorities which
come close to his pocketbook. The re-
ception Of the high-speed motor In this
country has. for this reason. called forth
enthusiastic expressions Of approval
This type of motor was brought out
in stock cars first in this country by
the Oakland Motor Company In their
1915 model 81 four-cylinder. and contin-
ued with some improvements In the
Oakland 1916 model IS.
The triumphs of this type Of motor on
the speedway courses. under trials
which are less Of distance than they are
of motor endurance. Is a convincing tes-
timonial. Owners Of Oakland models 81
or 3s testify to Its virtues under all road
conditions. Both of these models have
shown for their owners a surprising
economy OF tires as well as Of fuels
In one performance OF which the Oak
land Company has official record an
Oakland model 81 made from one and
one-half gallons, fifty-two miles on a
country road. The car carried four pas

J. B. HAVILAND.

Years ago. when he was only q pocket

wonderful thing, which told the different
phases Of sun. moon. stars. the date.
month. day Of week and time Of day.
and when to begin picking. preserving
and spring house cleaning. 1t was much
admired. Joe was right in the front
row of admirers. but he was analytical.
A week after Its arrival the family
went away on a visit. leaving Haviland
Junior in the care of nurse. He was
sleeping peacefully when she went down
to the store. but Jupe Pluve stepped In
and it rained pitchforks.
Weakened by the thunder, Joe sneaked
downstairs. The coast was clear If
the weather was not. In two minutes
the longed-for curiosity was gratified.
and the marvellous clock was a mystery
no lonRer-it was a wreck.
Enter the nurse: wet, bedraggled and
scared stiff. She saw the litter of clock
organs on the floor and with a truly
rush to the nearest spigot or the arom.
Sd; bottle? Not rush. He continued his
Job Of putting the clock back in the
wonderful class-and did 1t.
Since then he's kept right on doing
things that have not been done before.
He knows service from having served
He knows the whole family Of bolts,
nuts. joints. fianges. and screws by
their front names. and the only reason
he hasn't written book about motors
is because he doesn't expect to live
more than 100 years, and there is a
shortage OF paper in the domestic mar
ket.
HIS work includes service with the
Oldsmobile factory in 1905, where he
was in charge OF the road testing: su-
perintendent Of fiual construction for
REQ In 1906. road mechanics and repair
work for Chalmers In 1907. and going
right up the line with this firm until,
when he left the E. r. Thomas Com

manager.
Leaving the Thomas Company two
years ago to manage the service DEPART
