SOUTH AMERICA OFFERS GREAT
OPPORTUNITY FOR AUTO DEALERS

That the motor car is finding its
way into the remote sections of South
America, and that the great Southern
mense territory for the automobile
manufacturer to take into considera-
ton and to cultivate is brought out
in an article by William A. Reid in
the May number of the Bulletin Of
the Pan-American Union, Washington,
d. G. Even in those countries where
good roads are scarce the automobile
is becoming a necessity for industrial
purposes, for in many places it is be-
ginning to demonstrate its value in
the transportation of freight and pas
sengers where railroads are imprac-
ticable or too expensive to build. In
this connection Mr.. Reid writes:
in the barren nitrate section Of
Chile, where the cart and mule have
long done faithful service, one finds
today a number of automobiles. Dur
ing a recent journey through the nj
trate fields several machines were
placed at the writer's disposal and
they did excellent service over some
of the most trying trails to be encoun.

was learned that eight motor trucks

eventually be replaced by the motor
truck if it proves its practical utility.
The truck, costing from $4,000 to
$4,000, may prove itself more economi-
cal than the old system; the clearing
and building of cheap road for the
truck will certainly be less expensive
than the laying of railway tracks for
the locomotives and dump cars. At
any rate, the experiment is well worth
watching by those interested in the
sale of commercial cars; for should

In a bit of information handed out
to car owners by p. NJ. Smoot of
Smoot & Steinhauser, local agents for
the Willard Storage Battery Company,
special attention was called to over
heated batteries.
An over-heated battery Is one Of the
worst things that can happen to a ear
owner because It may incapacitate his
entire electrical system. It Is web,
therefore, for tourists to observe
closely the condition OF their storage

Over-heating may be caused by sew
eraI things. Two of the most common
causes are lack of water or over
charging from the generator.
A battery kept fun of pure distilled
water is not nearly so apt to become
over-heated as one in which the solu-
ton has been allowed to reach level
lower than the top of the plates. When
these plates are exposed to the air the

tire starting, lighting and ignition sys-

Before starting on trip, the gener-
ator should be adjusted to supply the
battery with tho proper amount of

the driving is generally faster when

BUT, OFFICER,

Motorcycle Policeman States
That They All Try to Pull Old
Gag; Need Speedometers

The most annoying offenders in
connection with automobile speeding
are those who persist in driving their
cars without speedometers," AYERS a
motorcycle policeman.
"Of course, our machines are all
equipped with accurate magnetic
speedometers, but that doesn't make
any difference to the Offending driver.
If we catch him going IS miles an
hour and point to our speedometers as
notification of the charge We make
against him, he often has the nerve
TO say that because he is accustomed
TO driving a car he can estimate the
time he is making without using any
mechanical device.
However, the court now backs us
up and If our speedometer shows he
was going 35 miles an hour the charge
we make IS upheld.
ANY experienced automobile driver,
who will tell the truth, knows that it
is impossible for him to regulate his
speed limit without the aid of some
mechanical timing device. There is
nothing more deceptive, from the
StduupOlul VI opCCus that duSoAiOBiAO
riding.
For example, get into light, poor
ly constructed machine and tune her
up to the limit and you viii have the
same sensations as one who is travel
ing 40 or so miles an hour, when, as
matter of fact, you were not making
more than % miles an hour.
Then step into a heavy, high
powered car, with perfect construction
as far as the parts are concerned, and
you can make 40 miles an hour with
out realizing that you are going faster
than %.
Il think the time will come when
the law will make it compulsory for
everyone to equip his car with speed
ometer. When that comes the speed
ing offenses will be cut in half There
is on excuse for any owner not hav-
ing one of those things now.
The price is low and there are
firms which manufacture .speedeme-
tiers especially for small light cars
like the Ford, Saxon and Chevrolet"

In 1908 four indianapolis business.
men were having midnight lunch
under the spreading naples at the
Indiana State Fairgrounds. Before
them, on a mile dirt track, a car was
putting and struggling along in des.
perate efforts to negotiate a 24-hour
endurance race. That night these four
men dreamed a dream At sun-up
they rode to the outskirts of the city,
where the Hoosier farmers were start

Told in tabloid, they bought these
peaceful cornfields, braved the criti-

invested hundreds of thousands OF
dollars into perfectly good, fertile

is only stepping stone to what the
dare-devils at the wheel hope to at

Many cities have followed the ex-
ample set near the center of popula-
ton. New York. Chicago and Mime
apolis are three conspicuous additions
to the speedway sport. Nine tracks
were in operation last year. Twelve
different races were seen on these
speedways, in which the monetary re-
ward was $291,000.
Many other cities have their speed
ways on paper. For thrill engender-
ing, spectacular and sensational one
day shows the speedway race dwarfs
all other amusements or sports. No
other can claim such homage from
its devotees.

 In changing seasons get abundant fresh air and take spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals, because Scott's Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will increase both quantity and quality of the blood while 1t warns the body and helps carry off the impurities.

Estabrook, Candidate for c. o. P. Nomination. Trains His Guns Administration at Third Ward
 Clubs Line oln Dinner.

Raps for Roosevelt, bangs for Bry- an and welts for Wilson comprised the principal dish at the annual Lin coin dinner of the Third Ward Re- publican club last night in Turner hall. Henry D. Estabrook, candidate for the G. o. P. nomination for president, was the principal speaker and his line of talk was extremely pleasing to the large gathering. MT. Estabrook was scheduled to speak on Preparedness" but he disgressed from his manuscript on a number Of occasions and paid his respects to what the republican party considers the terrible trio, Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt. In fact. the greater part of MT. Estabrook's speech was devoted to an attack on the administration now at Washington and his slams at the First Citizen of Oyster Bay were merely for old times sake.
 Speaking on preparedness, MT. Els tabrook said he believed in creating an army and a navy sufficiently strong to meet the needs of the country. Insurance costs money but it is worth the price and America is able to pay for this insurance" he said.
 Mir. Estabrook caused roars of laughter when he said Williams Jen- nings Bryan had his fingers crossed when he said God bless you'' to President Wilson. Referring to the president, the speaker said he was like Q codfish who lays mary eggs and who must cackle about it afterwards.
 Better Late Than Never
 While the dinner vas scheduled to start at o'clock sharp, there was considerable delay, which the orches- tra made merry.
 It was exactly 7:25 o'clock when H. E. Erwin, a member of the com 1nittee, signalled the orchestra to strike up the tune, Hail to the Chief and amid thunderous ap- plause State Treasurer F. s. Cham berlain ushered in Governor Hol- comb accompanied by MT. Estabrook Mayor George A. Quigley and Presi- dent Baldwin of the club.
 >s Following in short order were the other digitaries of the party each receiving a cheer, even Councilman

, O. F. Curtis not being forgotten. A few minutes later when Senator C.. w. Klett made his appearance It l seemed as if pandemonim had broken loose, and the cheering did not sub | side until the senator had disappeared 1 behind the scenes.
 Seated at the speakers table were 1 the following: Governor Holcomb MT. Estabrook, Judge W. F. Henney 1 Speaker Frank F. Healey. Mayor Quigley and President Baldwin. Lieutenant Governor Wilson al- 1 rived later and he was rendered an ovation.
 After the orchestra had started the Star Spangled Banner" the on- slaught on Caterer Froeba's offerings of roast beef and fxins was on, and all seemed to have their capacities with them, for in a brief time. the , heavy laden platters resembled what is left after a newsboys New Years dinner.

 The following prominent members of the party from various parts of the state occupied seats on the stage Senator Futile of East Haven, Sheriff Dewey of Hartford, Senator Peasely and Chairman Makepeace of Water bury, Representative Carter and Stanley Gwillim of Plainville.

Representative Deming of West Hartford, County Commissioner An drew Steele, Assistant Prosecutor Creeden of Hartford, Chairman Clark of Terryville, Elijah Rogers of South ington, Labor Commissioner Hyde of Manchester and Representatives E.

 After the cigars had been passed and their aroma began to wait through the hall an individual somewhat un- der the influence of red and rebelious liquor, gave clear and distinct idea of the absolute need of preparedness, when in the costume of a militiamen he insisted in giving dem onstration of his ability to use his feet to advan. tage by marching through the aiSlo much to the amusement of the dino
