NEW NATIONAL CARS
CALLED "HIGHWAY"
Motor Company, Entering Upon
Sixteenth Year, Announces Six
and Twelve Cylinder Models.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 29.-In enter
ing it's sixteenth year Of moto build =
ing, the National Motor Company an
nounces that its new series Of cars
will be called the "Highway" mod
els.
This name was chosen because this
is a red-letter year for American
highways. Great progress is being
made this year than, ever before.
Highway is also an appropriate namc
for the new Nationals, because the
cars themselves suggest transconti-

factory has an enviable reputation

will be 1890.
They were pioneers in building six
cylinder motors, having marketed
their first six-cylindcr cars in 1905
In 1909 the National engineering de-
partment designed and built expert
mental eight-cylinder motors, but
the company never marketed a car OF
that type.
With this creditable record in mo-
tor building, 1t Is confidently eX-
pected that the new National High.
way models will live up to the repu.

Although smaller in size than its
predecessors, the National Highway

FEDERAL ROAD WORK
President John A. Wilson Sum-
marizes Work of the Nation
al Organization.

What the A. A. A. stands for could
not be set forth in more concise Ian
guage than that contained In the report
Of President John A. Wilson. who at
the recent annual meeting In Boston,
was reelected as the head of the ma
tional organization Of owners Said Mr..
Wilson in his annual resume:
I'VE believe in a logical and compre-
hensive Federal aid to the several
States in their roads building; we be-
lieye in the freest interstate use of
motor-driven and all other kinds Of We
hicles, as set forth in the Adamson
measure: we believe that the owner of
IN automobile should only he taxed once
for its possession. as evidenced by our
taking to the United States Supreme
Court the double taxation question; and
we believe that 1t Is a function Of gov
ernment for the United States to ad-
vertise its scenic and health attractions
to It's own citizens; encouraging them 10

systems and attractions which are In
ferior to what can be found at home
We are an organization of citizens who
seek nothing except a general good;
and the making clear Of this particular
point has been no easy task, even
though it be absolutely the truth
Resolutions Passed.
Among the resolutions adopted the
most important had reference to roads
construction. roads travel. and motor
vehicle taxation. George c. Diehl, OF
Buffalo. chairman of the good roads
board, presented a resolution which
placed the A. A. A. on record and
pledged 1t ito support any measure in
troduced in the forthcoming Congress
which shall present a logical plan for
national cooperation with the several
States for main market and post roads.
The A. A. A. favors the establishment
Of a Federal Bureau of Roads Travel

complimented for its progressive polio,
in a resolution put forward by Davic

TwIn-Six Motor, Compact|y
Stored Away, Has 3-Inch
Bore and 5-InCh Stroke.

"A, tumult of rumors relating to
twelVe-cylnder Packard has been
erystallized by the announcement of
the twin six. 1t Is stated Officially
tat the new model will be on exhibit
ton In Indianapolis during the week
of the big race.
In external appearance the new car
retains all Of the well-known Packard
eharacteristics; 1t looks much like

can be so compactly stored away. 8.
A. Luttrell. Washington agent for the
Packard, describes the car as follows:
.. The Twin Six motor Is exactly. what
arranged in Y form with an angle Of
sixty degrees between them. This small
included angle allows such accessories
as starting motor. generator and water
ard position Just inside the frame. so
that the space between the cylinders Is
left clear and the valves are conviently
accessible without the removal Of a
single accessory. The acute angle be-
tween the cylinders also permits Of \
narrow frame at this point, with the re-
suit that the turning radius is even
shorter than before.
Trimmed In Nickel.
'The motor is of clean cut design with
nickeled trimmings and enameled
cylinders. The bore is three inches and
the stroke five inches.
The Twin Six has a remarkable
range of ability combined with almost
complete absence of vibration at all
speeds. This result is due not only to the
continuous smooth application of power
from the twelve cylinders, but also to
the fact that the small bore of the
cylinders and the use Of special
aluminium alloy in making the pistons
have reduced the reciprocating weight
OF the twelve ,pistons and connecting
rods to approximately half the weight
of the corresponding parts in the
previous Packard model. The superior
smoothness of operation. which Is in
herent in this twelve cylinder engine
eHects an economy in oil and gasolene.
The. new car will be furnished in
two wheelbase lengths. The 1-35 is 1856

125 inches, and takes a new line OF
Packard built bodies which are a little
less in length. There is a new type

Grafton of a combination Of lights with
