WONDERFUL EVOLUTION
 IN MOTOR MANUFACTURE

to further develop his conceptions of the ultimate in individual transportation.
 Says the same English authority, Ency- clopedia Brttanica:
 The introduction of the Dingley tariff, assessing an import duty of 45 per cent ad valorem on motor cars Gin the class- fication of manufacturers of metal) add ed to a further charge of about $ per cent for freight encouraged American capitalists to embark in the manufacture of motor cars, and in 1899 90 manufac- turers produced 800 cars. In 1909 the num- Der produced by 200 concerns was IA. 4.s91."
 Here is very startling picture of Amer ican energy applying American production methods to the basic thought of the in. genious Frenchman under a protective motor car industry rivals in importance States.
 The American took the crude idea and outstripped the Frenchman in perfect ing his own invention. Today the self starter and electrical equipment and many other advanced mechanical details are being transplanted to Europe from America.
 Our American motor car manufacturers have outstripped the world in quantity and quality and perfection of details of finish and equipment.
 American high class cars have no peers abroad, and American cheap utility cars supply the world.
 The current year will see some big developments.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-05-23

A student of the trend of the motor car art has seen a wonderful evolution in the past 20 years.
 The automobile has been as epoch making in the worlds history as has any other single step of mans ingenious progress.
 My father, who died in 1896, never saw motor car. Today horses are practi- cally relegated to the ZOO
 Today we talk from New York to San Francisco Today man makes his way by motor car from coast to coast in 15 days over the rapidly improving Lincoln Way without attracting particular atten- ton.
 The progressive evolution of mechani- cal, chemical, electrical science is plac- ing in the possession of the people of occurred in each 1000 years prior to the last century.
 The motor car reached the stage of practical use first in Europe. Practically MT. Levassor of Paris, France. devised the transmission system which, as far as it's general scheme is concerned, is un- altered today, says the encyclopedia.
 But inventions breed new inventions. The spark which ignited MT. nevassor's inventive brain was the sight of Gottlieb Daimler's crude internal combustion en- zines propelling boats on the River Seine in connection with the Paris exposition in 1887, says the same authority.
 Actually MT. Jevassor and his collabor- ators had set the world on fire with zeal

Indianapolis, May 22.-(Special.) )-An or Canization of racing drivers, comparable to the players fraternity in baseball, is being promoted by several racing stars now in Indianapolis for the next speed way race.
 Barney Oldfield, Bob Burman and Earl Cooper are said to be leaders in the movement, this trio representing the cream of the American racing fraternity, and, therefore, acting with some au- thority.
 The object of the new association IS denoted by It's title, Auto Drivers Pro ties the protection of drivers lives and property, and the advancement of their general financial interest.
 The latter object is one which, it Is thought. will give other factions in the racing game. notably the promoters, much concern. It Is thus rumored that one or the first acts of the new organization will be to. ask the Indianapolis motor speed way to split with drivers all gate admis- sions collected during the practice for the next 5o0-mile race. The drivers furnish the attraction. 1t Is argued, and, there- fore. should profit in proportion
 Another point to be raised, it is said, is tho matter Of entrance fees and ap- pearanoe money. Promoters have no right to ask entrance fees of the men who fur nish their show, 1t is stated. but should, on the other hand. make definite guar antees to drivers, said guarantee to be uniform to everybody, so that everyone may have an even chance.
 A number of other minor points are under discussion, such as the problem of properly fencing dirts tracks, stand ardizatiou of racing contracts. etc. These are to be definitely settled in the near future and incorporated in set of by laws.
 What the upshot of the matter will be Is difficult to determine. To date only the drivers have expressed their opinion, the American Automobile association and various track owners withholding their views until they are more thoroughly in- formed of the proposition.

REQ SALES MANAGER TELLS 0F BIG ORDERS|
Dealers Say Please and Other Nice Things in
 Letters

When dealer says please and other nice things to the sales manager of an automobile company, there is only one conclusion to be drawn and that is that that dealer wants cars and wants them mighty badly" said laughing Robert Rueschaw as he showed telegram just received from the Minneapolis dstribu- tor of Rec cars.
 Please. dear MT. Sales Manager. won't you ship Minneapolis six extra carloads Heos any model Reos just so long as they are Reos. and soon." Hawkes. Auto company.
 That's sample of 125, average, tele- grams I receive every day-ony they are not all so sweety worded as that one. They run the gamut all the way from swear words to pet phrases-mostly swear words or other language that might as well be since their meaning is clear.
 Factory Is running to capacity and beyond, for we have had an extra night shirt on for several weeks. So each dealer Is getting his full quote according to his original allotment. But the cry !s Tor more-just few extra carloads. And they never are satisfactorily Minneapolis 6ot trd1nlOad only last week.
 Tt is most gratifying and at the same time most trying to the poor sales mana ger. It taxes his ingenuity and his in tegrity to the limit to keep all dealers satisfied and to keep them feeling that each is getting just the same treatment as all others. Some of them won't be- lieve that and so quite a percentage of the telegrams are accusations of partiali- ty while others are in the nature of bribes to sentiment
 We are going like house afire though and we hope to catch up soon. Material is piled up so high on the factory floors that 1t broke through in two places last week. That material is going through the machines just as fast as possible considering always quality. More ma chlnery has been installed, more men put to work and we are doing our level best to make enough Reos to go round.
 Nice telegram that from Fawkes-be. lieve l will try to squeeze out three extra carloads for him. That will ease Mime. apolis up a bit even if 1t doesn't wholly satisfy it's hunger for Reos.."

OLDFIELD SCHEDULED
 TO DRIVE MAXWELL,

Barney Oldhelds appeal to reason, ad- dressed to American racing car builders on the subject of their misapprehension of his worth driver, seems to have had its effect. for now Barney is prom inently mentioned as pilot of the third Maxwell in the next Indianapolis 5O0- mile, to team with Carlson and Ricken- bacher already named.
 Barney Is already entered in the Hoos- Ter contest at the wheel of a Bugatti and of course, could not take on a Maxwell without Charles H. Fuller, the owner E consent. Nevertheless, 1t is rumored that an agreement between the interested parties has been reached. and that Bar ney accordingly, will be seen in the seat of the American car.
 George Hill, Barney's mechanician, is to handle the Bugatti under the new arrangement, leaving the veteran free to follow his fancy's dictates. Oldfeld when interviewed about the matter, stated he knew nothing, which, with Barney, is d sure sign there is something doing. At ay rate, the wiseacres have their ears to the ground, waiting for something to drop. If the deal with Oldfield falls through, it is thought Ray Harroun, the

RAPID PROGRESS IN BUILDING OF GREAT SPEEDWAY IS MADE Sheepshead Bay Organiza- tion Complete-Officers
 and Directors Are
 Chosen

That the Seepshead Bay speedway will be completed not only in time TOT tne running of the opening race in october, but also far enough ahead of the date chosen to admit of fortnight or more preliminary practice before the elimina- tion trials begin, is now assured. With 700 men at work, wonderful progress has been made. The tearing down of the monster stands of horse racing days was practically finished this week and fully one half at the 10 buildings that were part of the former track have been cleared away.
 Three-quarters of the grading has been completed and a quarter of a mile of the concrete sleepers is now actually in place. The steel work Is coming through on schedule and Is being shipped, so that the frame of the two-mile course will be ready for laying on the wooden surface by June 15.
 Organization Complete
 The organization of the two and half million dollar Sheepshead Bay Speedway corporation has been completed by the election of a noteworthy board of direc-
 
 scented by Percy R. Pyne, IT.; Horace M. Kilborn, Charles F. Danforth of Van Amburgh and Atterbury, James A. Blair, Jr., of Watson. Blair x Co.,; Frank Bailey of the Title Guaranty and Trust company of Brooklyn, and Anderson T. Herd, well known real estate operator A. K, Tawley, president of the Aero Club of America, will look after the aviation end of the project. At present H. M. Swetland, president of the Class Journal company, and David Beecroft. well known as an automobile technical author, represent the motor car sport on the board. Four di rectorship places have been left practical ly vacant for the present with the idea Of filling them later with other men allied with motoring and the other sports to be promoted.
 The directors have elected Carl G. Fish CT. founder of the Indianapolis speedway, president; Everard Thompson former di- rector of the Yale bowl, vice president and general manager; Charles E. Dan forth, treasurer. Percy R. Pyne, II. ; Horace M. Kilborn, Charles E. Danforth and Carl G. Fisher. comprise the execu- tive committee. Blaine IT.

 These are the cars that are touted by the wiseacres as being faster than anything Europe has ever produced. Mounting motors that are said to turn over 3900 revolutions a minute without a drop in power they are expected to furnish an extraordinary performance.

exports of automobiles

"The value of the automobile ex- ports during February, 1914, amount ed to $2,461,955, while those of Feb ruary of this year amount to $4S07, SIP. In this connection 1t is interest ing to note that while during the eight months ending in February, 1914, 16,- S83 cars were exported the value is estimated at s15,716,Sos, while during the eight months ending with Fenru- ary of this year 1410S cars were ex- ported, the value reached $21, ,605.35S Practically all of this increased value Is accounted for by shipments of lar ger and higher priced cars to the bel ligerent countries of Europe.
 From these same reports we note that while the exports of automobiles to South America have increased slight ly In number the total value of busi- ness shows very little increase. How ever, the wise and farseeing business man of the United Staes Is working hard at present for future business and the result will probably not be
