Booklet Reviewing the

A complete list of important 1915
automobile races. put into booklet form
under the title "Conclusively Convinc-

iGea Of the remarkable advance made
in motor car speeds during the past
season.
The review, a o Of which has been

tives of the Bosch Magnetic company

that it gives a wealth OF interesting
information. Under each race is llsted

the race and the average miles per
hour. The schedule comprises 20
events. which include every worth
while race OF the season.
Starting with the vanderbilt cup
race, run just about a year ago the
seasons speed averages started with
67.41 miles per hour. a rather low
average. due to the poor condition OF

boosted the average to $50 miles an

Eence Of the industry, as wen as compli-
mentary to the power OF the press says
president George A Kissel Of the Kissel
Kar.
The growth OF automobile newspaper ad-
vertisiug has been a very interesting devel-
opment. In the early days Of the motor
car. the very idea OF exploiting so high
priced an article in the newspapers was re-
garded by the makers as little short Of IRA
tional. We then used the national maya
zines almost exclusively.
But what a change Gradually. by per
sistent work, the first converts were made
and they Jared so well in results that 9TH
ers followed rapidly. I doubt II there is a
single automobile manufacturer today who
dishelieves in newspaper advertising. while
most OF them are enthusiastic on the sub
ject.
statistics before me show gains OF any
where from $1,000 10 $50. 900 lines IN the

ing newspapers Of the United States in 1919
over 1914. And, unless all signs fail, there
is going 70 be another wonderful advance IN

The fact that newspapers can sell auto
mobiles leads me inevitably 70 the conclu-
sion that they can sell practically any
thing"

likely there will be a gasoline short
age throughout the world, there might,
nevertheless, be a distinct shortage in
Great Britain.
Everything indicates that the price
Of kerosene Will maintain a fairly nor
NAL level. although, in common with
everything else, it has been subjected
to a certain rise, but if. never can be
affected by large variations, such as
gasoline or fuel oil, owing to the fact
that it is widely used for ordinary pur-
poses and that an cutlery would be
raised if its cost reached a very high
figure.
Having stated the facts as we see
them in this way, we may now deal
with the effect upon the employment
OF respective fuels as the motive force
for internal combustion engines used
on boats.
VIII Use Kerosene Motors.
1--WE must first inevitably be led to
the conclusion n a we have in this
country practically seen the end of
the gasoline marine motor. This state
ment may apply to both commercial
craft cit has done this now for some
time) and to those vessels used entirely
for pleasure purposes. tt means,
therefore. that manufacturers in this
country will concentrate well nigh
wholly upon the manufacture Of kero-
sene motors, although there viii al
way be a certain trade in the gasoline
type for special markets.
For instance in South America, 1t
is likely hat the gasoline engine will
continue to be employed. but in China,
Australia. New Zealand, Japan. the
Straits Settlements, India and practi-
cally every other overseas market the
kerosene engine will hold sway, pro-
vided the hot bulb motor does not re-
place II in turn.
1T used to be said that the trouble
involved in converting gasoline to
kerosene engines was not warranted
by the difference in the price of the
two fuels and possibly this is one Of
the reasons why the matter has not
received very great attention in the
past. This objection is no longer valid,
and IL viii now be worth quite a con-
siderable expenditure OF money to car

MOTOR SOLVES
MANY
Brings Health to Owner, is
Quick Mode of Travel
and Saves Horse.
by Il. E. A. BARTHEL,
Vice President King Motor Car Co.

The automobile has solved many
problems. The growth Of the industry
during the past year has been beyond
expectations. The future no one can
predict. Automobile manufacturers
have laid their plans for the coming
year on huge production figures.
The motor a occupies a unique pO-
sitson in the mechanical locomotion
family today. because it largely coun-
teracts the i'll effects that followed the
introduction Of other forms of trans
portation. 1t has given to munich
pailtles the biggest problem they ever
tackled-the solution Of street traffic
regulations. There is not Q city in tho
cOuntry where this problem is not seris
Gus and the subject Of great Thought.
No one now regards the motor car as
a mere fad. The world knows it has
fulfilled its mission. That it is a real
necessity for comfort, health and bust
ness progress. With millions of Ameri-
can made automobiles for this country,
the expectation that the foreign de-
mands the coming year will be greater
than ever, the automobile industry is
counted upon as advancing the business
or the country generally. Fol the auto
mobile today is a financial investment.
With all different types to chose
frOm-smallO or large, from two to sever
passenger capacity. with either four,
six. eight or - cylinders-Overhead eX-
pense cut down, simplicity the keynote
Of construction. the field for the auto
mobile is larger today than ever before.
The fact that the American public has
money. the banks lave let down the
bars for the purchase of automobiles,
gives to the automobile manufactured
every opportunity to market big pro-
duction.
The motor car has many missions. It
first gives to the public the h%ealthful
and stimulating pleasures of flying
through beautiful country scenes and
fresh air. Second, it fur
nishes a perfect flexible means Of trans
portation that is exactly adaptable to
the public's wishes, that is, to go and
when and where one likes Third,
il relieves the burden from the horse,
and, finally, to Danish him entirely
from the city streets, enlarges the ra-
dtus of commercial operations and
makes two engagements grow for the
busy American public where but one
grew before.
And when a good motor is running
under full speed it makes the least fuss
about it. This is an adage that can
also be applied to many a young man
who is striving for his start in life.

CHALMERS SHIPMENTS
RECORD IN FEBRUARY

the 20 days Of February, the Chalmers
Motor company has just accomplished 'he
largest months business in its history.
1T is something more than a coincidence
that the shortest month in the year should
prove to be a record-breaker for Chalmers
shipments" said Z. A. Pfeffer, vice presi-
dent and assistant general manager. This
is not merely a business squirt, but the re-
suit Of a steady growth in Chalmers husi-
ness starting six months back. Entering
February with an average daily shipment
Of 10 cars, VIC closed the month with l85
cars shipped on February 20, the largest
days shipment since we first began the
manufacture Of motor cars.
Although Aorking on day and night
shifts in all departments, we are carrying
over into March orders for 1917 cars on
which February delivery was specified. Be
sides that number, we have 41iS cars or
