OLDS PLANT BREAKS
PRODUCTION RECORD

The Odds Motor Works production
schedule. which underwent a pro-
nounced change year ago with the
introduction of their moderate priced
four, will, according to the officials of
the company, reach a new high water
mark this year. The factory has set
out to build twice as many cars as
were produced in any previous year
in the history of the company-the
year 1913, when curved dash roadsters
came into universal use almost over
night and were produced by the thou
sands.
Considering the fact that this years
Odds. sells at higher price than the
1913 model, this fiscal year will be
larger, by several times over, than the
Olds company has ever before exper-
fenced.
During the fiscal year just closed
the company built for times as many
cars as during the preceding year, and
this year the plants are working on a
schedule which calls for three times
the number of cars produced during
last year.
Since the car was first announced.
there has been no let up in the de-
mand for Model 43, the four cylinder
Odds, which literally swamped the fac
tory with business. J. F. Hornaday
is the local agent.

PARALLEL DINNERS
INCREASE IN FAVOR

The ordinances which many cities
are now enforcing in regard to auto
mobile headlights make DINNERS nee
essary on all cars" states Earl O.
Spangler. distributor for The Haynes
Light Six.
There are several ways Of dimming
the bright. headlights to comply with
these ordinances. The better method,
and the one in use on all OF the better
cars. is what is called the series-par-
aflel system. By this way of wiring,
the same bulbs are used for the bright
and dimmed lights. When burning
bright the lamps are connected SO that
they operate on the full voltage of the
battery. But when dimmed, the con-
nection is so that the lamps are only
half.voltage.
This practice reduces the current
consumption to a minimum When the
lights are dimmed, about three-fourths
of the current is saved. Such economy
does away with storage battery trou-
BILE and consequently repair bills. This
saving of current commends the series
parallel dimming arrangement to all
motor car owners.

AUTOMOBILE HITS RIG

NEW PARIS, O.. Sept. 25.-Elbert
Murray. Herbert Barton and Harvey
Halter experienced a thriller" Tues
day evening when in Murray's ma
chine near the intersection Of the New
Paris pike and the National road.
James H. Davis drove east on the Ma
tional road and the auto was almost on
him before he noticed it, but he called
to- his horse and give it cut with
the whip and all the damage done to
his rig was the loss of one spoke. Muir
ray saw the rig and in swerving out
of the way struck a telephone guy-pole,
breaking the pole in two and side
swiping his machine. sweeping it clear
of running board, tenders and every
thing on that side. However, when
pulled into the road the engine was

men in auto and buggy was miracu-

PILOT CAR PLUNGES
DOWN HILL UNSCATHED

from our surprise at finding ourselves
alike to take sort Of inventory. we
found that not one of III was injured,
beyond slight shaking up, and the
car was not damaged in the slightest
We had alighted In q kind of rough
pasture. and as there seemed to be
way out. pressed the starting pedal;
the motor at once started, and we rode
out under our own power.
When we got back on tn. road
again deliberately went back up the
mountain to the place where we went
over. The distance we dropped was
not an inch less than fifteen feet.
I've always been a Pilot booster.
I've driven all over West Virginia
I've never been stuck yet, and even on
our mountains l use first and second
speeds but rarely. Nearly everything
take on high But this capped the
climax. It certainly speaks volumes
for the sturdy construction and won
derful spring construction of the
Pilot"
Upon hearing Mr. Washington's
story of his miraculous escape, land
realizing more keenly, perhaps, what
the car had been through, Mr.. Gamer
sales manager, insisted that the car
at once be thoroughly tested. Despite
Mr.. Washington's repeated assurances
that there was nothing the matter
with the car, an expert was put on it,
with instructions to 60 over it care
fully. His report agreed with the
owners. Except for little Tightening

Even POWER FLOW
FOUND IN ELECTRIC

AS you walk down the street these
days, In almost any city it is no I'M
common thing to hear some one ex-
claim, by George. but aren't there a
lot of electrics being driven nova
days" Yet to those who have kept
apace with the advance in construc-
ton of electric automobiles it does not
seem at all surprising that more and
more motorists are turning to the cleo
trio powered car as both the practical
and preferable automobile.
Several reasons for this are cited by
the Richmond Electric company, local
distributors for the Detroit Electric.
The electrically propelled vehicle gives
the smooth flow Of power for which
manufacturers of gas cars are striving,
is clean and quiet Motorists are begin
ming to recognize the superiority of
the closed car for use the year-round.

WAR BiAzES WAY
FOR MOTOR TRUCKS

Whether the frantic demands OF
European nations for American motor
trucks, when they. were confronted
with the necessity for rapid transpor-
tation of goods had anything to do
with arousing American business men
to the advantages Of the modern meth
cd of transportation cannot say, but
it is an interesting fact that co-inci-
dent with the European demand the
motor truck has come into Its own
here at home" says R. G. Rueschaw,
sales head of the dual monarchy, REQ
Motor Car Company and REQ Motor
Truck Company.
Mr.. Rueschaw has Just returned
from an extended trip which embraced
the Pacific Coast States, and he states
that the thing that impressed him most
was the tremendous demand that ex-
listed everywhere for motor trucks.
Local interests of the REQ cars are
handled by the Central garage.

MAKE SO NILE TRIP
IN WAvERLY MACHINE

The practicability Of the electric
automobile in taking pleasure rides
through the country. was well illus
trated last Sunday afternoon when Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Woods and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. r. Poundstone took a sixty
mile trip through the hills south of the
city. The big Waverly electric had no
trouble whatever in taking the hill on
the Boston pike south OF the city at
ordinary speed
The party visited Boston, Fairhaven,
Camden. Eaton, West Florence, Camp
bellstown and New Hope, covering the
trip in about four hours.
There are no hills too high for an
electric" said Mr.. Woods, agent for
the Waverly THE electric can be
used for pleasure trips through the
country as well as for society car in
the city,
THE Waverly electric is noted for
its low maintenance expense" said Mr..
Woods: The only expense is for tire
renewals and new batteries every
three or four years. The upkeep of an
electric will not amount to SIS q month
with ordinary running" he said.
In one Of my electrics, have run
10000 miles without new batteries and
i find just as much power now as
when the car was new" he said

Ralph De Palma, one Of the drivers
entered in the Astor Cup Race at the
Sheepshead Bay Motor Speedway on
Oct. 2 is one of the best known drivers
in the country, but it is not generally
known that he started life as barber.
Ralph was born in Italy, but came
to this country when just mere lad.
For years he worked as barber, and
he was a good one too, he says, and
can still handle razor with dexterity.
However. his love of adventure
soon led him away from the reclining
chair, the lather and the strop, and he
entered the bicycle racing game when
that sport was at its height From
that to the motorcycle was but A
short stride and then came his first
auto race behind the wheel of the old
