An average of 100 carloads of ma

More than 400 tons Of coal are re-
quired in generating the steam used
in the plant and $4,000 gallons of fuel

pounds of steel are fabricated into

A striking feature Of this immense
enterprise is that the business is own
ed entirely by John F. and Horace E.

know that only IA years ago Dodge
Bros. opened their first machine shop
in Detroit, in which they employed
II men and both worked at machine

They early established a reputation
for quality work, in the making of
automobile parts and built up won
derful business in this line. But in
1914 they brought all their contracts
for parts to a termination and turned
their great facilities to the making of

MOUNTAIN ROAD Is
THE HIGHEST ROUTE

Few people in America realize that
the state of Colorado now may boast
of the highest highway in the world.
This road, which crowns all others,
starts from the village of Cascade,
summer resort in Ute pass about
twelve miles from Colorado Springs.
For IS miles the road winds, follow
ing the course of the canyon, sweeping
over shoulders of the lower range and
creeping across the faces Of cliffs to
the summit of the peak, nearly three
miles above sea level.
AS an engineering feat there are on
ly two roads in the wOrld-one in
France, the other in Switzerland
which compare with it. The length Of
the roadway is Is miles.
It's standard width is 20 feet, al
though 6-foot shoulder is allowed for
safety on the turns. The average grade
is about six per cent, with maximum
Of 10 per cent; the average curvature
of the turns is 40 degrees, with maxi
Adequate supplies of water have been
provided every three miles. Stations,
with tank and hose connections, will
give the motorist ample opportunity
to refill the radiator.
Everywhere along the highway,
wherever bridging has been necessary,
reinforced concrete ballasted, deck
type, has been installed. For protec-
ton on the curves masonry parapets
and curved guard rail walls two and
one-half feet high and Is inches wide
have been provided.
The builders have managed to hold
the average grade of road to per cent.
Another feature Of the construction is
that an average Of 400 feet of the road
is always in view, minimizing the dan
ger Of accident.
For surfacing the road, disintegrated
granite, which is indigenous to that
state and readily available, is used.
Supply stations, where parts and &C
cesories may be obtained, are located
at convenient points all along the
route.
Construction of the Pike'e Peak
highway was begun in May Of 1915
More than 100000 yards of solid rock
had to be dynamited in the course OF
the operation.
1t took some fifteen carloads of ex-
plosives to clear pass for the road
The end Of the road Is 500 feet above
its beginning at Cascade.
From Colorado Springs to the sum-
nit Of the peak ii is trifie more than
thirty miles. which is made by car in
about two hours.

TOURING BUREAU
HELPS THE AUTOIST

Thousands of motorists have shown
their appreciation Of the work of the
national touring bureau Of the B. F.
Goodrich company. Thousands of re-
quests for assistance were received
during 1915.
No less than 100000 motorists avail
ed themselves of our touring helps BY
distribution of 100000 trip cards
through dealers and $4,000 route
books and maps through branches our
touring information has reached every
nook Of the United States.
At the Akron headquarters the COM
pany has cared for nearly $4,000 re-
quests for route books and special
routing. Some days more than 700 let
tiers requesting aid were received.
From time to time new route books
have been published, until today we
have 40 different publications, each en-
bracing from II to $50 different route
descriptions, with accurate maps and
road logs. More than 1850 different
route cards are available for free dis
tribution. The preparation of new
route books for 1916 Is under way.

Cars are Made Lighter.

The tendency toward lower prices,
which has been matter of so much
discussion in the automobile business
this season, is perhaps no more
marked than the tendency of num-
Der of the companies to usher in a
radical revision in weights of their
cars. The light car is now a perma-
nent fixture In the business, and
seems destined to grow in popularity,
if we may accept as evidence the fact
that some manufacturers announce
weight reductions of considerably
more than a thousand pounds under
their former models.

London.-In connection with Lloyd
Georges campaign for the 'dilution"

trio car, and ingenious engineering has
developed the safety factor on the mod
ern electric to the highest degree.
The electric car has won first posi-
ton in the public's esteem for ultra
refinement, serviceability, and econ
omy. The best authorities estimate
that approximately $4,000 electric pas
senger cars are operated in the United
States today.
Haphazard manufacturing methods
have disappeared before highly eff
Gent, specialized production. Stand
ardization and specialization have been
responsible for the reduction in price,
averaging nearly Is per cent in the
last two years. At the same time the
quality of the cars in design, material,
workmanship, and refnements have
risen at least like percentage.
1t is most reasonable to assume that
this combination of important factors
will bring a much more rapid expan-
sion in the electric car industry, which
should double the number of electric
passenger cars in operation in the next
five years.

The "a is distinctive in appearance

termed the Italian style Of body. Al

struction is such that body stills are

Conventional practices have been
discarded by the introduction OF
aluminium into the cylinder castings
The Marmon is the first car Of regu-
lar production in which aluminium
is used for the water jackets of the
cylinders.
How Weight Was Cut.
The new Marmon is a revelation in
weight reduction. Not only has
weight been reduced by the judicious
use Of aluminium but, throughout the
car, there are ingenious combinations
so that there is no duplication OF
strain bearing parts. AS an example
of how this has been done, it is point
ed out that the rear seat heel board is
q cross member Of the frame.
The riding qualities are said to ex-
Gel anything previously turned out OF
the Marmon factory. The unique
spring suspension is accountable for
a great degree of this. The springs
are mounted in the rear Of the frame
transversely and are so fastened that
the motion is almost directly vertical
thus obYiating rolling and pitching
at high speed. The new Marmon car
can be ridden in and handled with
comfort over ordinary highways al
miles an hour.

volved in So Doing.

The custom on many farms OF clean

stables only once week, ten days or

1t takes but very few minutes to
clean the horse stable each day, and
the benefits received from so doing
are far in excess of the labor involved.
Not only do the animals have clean.
