a roomful Of them all going at the same
time.
Increased business has also caused the
company to work two shifts-a day and
night shift. The Sparton as an efficient
safety signal is gaining in favor every
day. Many contracts are being closed
for use of the Sparton on 1916 cars The
Sparton tone that always gets attention,
that is always heard and needed, il no
doubt the great cause for Sparton popu-
larity.
The manufacturers take great pride in
the true Sparton note" The vibrant
tone that can be heard long distances
in the country-and the quick, decisive
smash note for emergency situations on
city streets.
The diaphragm Of each Sparton safety
signal is carefully hand hammered by
skilled workmen until il has just the
right vibration. Every tooth on the
actuator is grounde to a clean edge
so it will produce the Sparton uniform
tone.
The experimental room at the factory
is entirely devoted to trying. testing,
sounding the signals over and over
again, until each gives for it the pecu-
liar, specific Spartan call.

neers in charge of the construction Of
the Sheepshead Bay course are con-
fident that it's parabola curved bank
ing will produce far higher speed re-
suits than the straight banking used
at the turns at Chicago. Furthermore
added speed will come from the eX-
perience the drivers have gained at
Chicago and the improvements in mo-
tors and gearing that will be made
to meet these new and almost unex-
pected high speed conditions.
With the success of the Chicago mo-
tor derby and the nearby completion
of New York's great speedway come
reports not only of former crack racers
of Vanderbilt Cup days planning to
re-enter the racing game, but also OIL
negotiations under way by importers
to secure European racers for the
Sheepshead Bays inaugural race on
October 2. This is the basis of the be-
lief that at least fifty cars will face
the starter to try for the thirty-two
places in the contest allowed by the
new A. A. A. rules, which will then
permit of the entry of five cars OF
single make instead of three.

Officials of the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway Corporation who went to
Chicago to see the running of the 300
mile motor derby, brought back en-
thusiastic reports of the wonders OF
the speed realizations and possibilities
of wood surfaced automobile race
courses. They say that the fact that
Resta, the winner. averaged nearly
eight miles an hour faster than De
Palma's worlds record at 1ndianapo-
lis. the exact figures being 91-6 as
against 1854, meant much: but that all
ten of the prize money winners should
have also broken the worlds record
by averaging over ninety miles an
hour, demonstrated the vast speed su-
periority of board surface beyond
a scintilla of doubt.
In the opinion of these New York
racing experts, there is every reason
to believe that in the elimination
trials for the opening race at the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway on october
., rate of 100 miles an hour will
be attained and that a majority OF
he thirty-two cars that win the right
% compete in the big race itself will
show speeds of over a hundred miles
an hour and will have to be capable
Of this specific be included among
The prize money winners.
Say Chicago Course Is Rough.
In support of this prophecy they
point to the fact that the surface OF
he necessarily hastily laid Chicago
course was rough as compared with
the bowling alley smoothness of the
Sheepshead Bay track. They say that
there were many rough edges arising
from unevenly laid planking, which
were hard on tires. Running on cir
cular track at such terrific speed as
a hundred miles an hour. the CEN
trifugal pressure is great Realizing
this. the Sheepshead Bay track build
ers are seeing to it that there are no
surface projections to cut tires or tear

report that he crop prosperity has
not only meant a huge volume Of au-

to realization the desires to tour
through the famed scenic and historical
sections of the East.
These family parties who at home
have had their touring somewhat lin
tied by weather conditions even when
they come from such sections as have
excellent dragged roads. never fail to
speak with no uncertain praise of the
quality of touring that the Eastern
roads afford.
To quote one only shows the view

sentiment which will bring about the
hard road surface in their sections.

CIDER IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Will cider-which was drunk on thes e
islands even in the days of the Romans

Gaping the new taxation? A century or
so ago enormous quantities were con-

districts, where the drink is still popular.
In his Cambridge "reminiscences Henry
Cunning says that in 1888, when he was
a tutor in Herefordshire, he witnessed
some extraordinary feats in cider drink

An Essay on the Automobile.

A little boy in school was commanded
by the teacher to write an essay on the
automobile, containing 500 words. This
is what he wrote:
my father bought an automobile and
one Sunday ne thought he would take us
out riding. So he went and got the auto
mobile and he took my mother and my
self and the baby out riding in it. We
had a fine ride away out in the country,
but something happened to the automo-
bile and it ran into fence and got broke.
Father got out and tried to fix it and he
fused around with it for long timey
but couldn't make it run again. Then it
began to rain and we had to walk back
to town, distance Of three miles. 1t
rained very hard and the mud was very
deep and my father had to carry the
baby.
"That makes 121 words. The other
379 words are what my father said on
the way home.
