PLAN DEPARTURE IN
RACING AUTOMOBILE

. INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 29.-The auto
mobile business is composed OF two ele-
ments, manufacturing and sporting.
Both have assumed gigantic industrial
proportions. The automobile manufac-
turing industry ranks fourth in the
United States, with lumber first, steel
second. and clothing third. THIS Is
startling when viewed by the breVlty
Of the industry's existence.
There are 44S automobile factories in
the United States and these promise TO
produce more than 100000 cars during
1916. Parallel with the growth and In
crease in the manufacturing element OF
the business, the sporting side as rep
resented by speedway races has made
colossal strides and promises newer big
ger, and greater things for the coming
year.
With the new speedways which were
built in 1915 and other new ones under
way in operation in 1916 the sporting
element bids fair to keeping pace with
the industrial element. Probably he
most sensational development planned
for the coming year, which has leaked
through the censorship at Indianapolis,
ls the plan of the Indianapolis motor
speedway managers to build several
high powered speed crafts Of their own
for this years races. The exact num-
Der of cars to be built by the Indian
apolis promoters. where they are to be
built, and other details have not been
made public, but Carl G.. Fisher, presi-
dent, does not deny that at least a half
dozen wonderful speed monsters will be
turned loo4e on the various speedway
tracks this season.
This Introduces an entirely new factor
in the racing situation. The object of
the Indianapolis. race maEnates Is said
to be twofold. First, they believe the
day is here when the public wants races
between speedway teams, the same as
they now have between baseball clubs.
Fisher even says trainloads of rooters
will go from Indianapolis to Chicago
and elsewhere to root" for the Indian
apolis team.
The first race of the season on the
Indiana polls track will be held May 80.
and will be the sixth annual Internal
tional sweepstakes event on this oval.
The distance is for 800 miles.

Yet 1 do not quote them from current

unouestionably the smoothest. sweetest
thing on wheels.
Steamer Chiefly q Memory.
Yet all these merits could not keep
steam in the running. Today the
steamer is chiefly a memory. And that
fact furnishes an important lesson.
Let me recall another instance of sim
liar importance. In the earlier days 1t
was a vital question among gasolene
car makers whether the two-cycle motor
would not put every other motor out Of
business. For the two-cycle produced
power twice as often as the four-cycle
(which is the only type now on the mar
keO. Where the usual type of gasolene
motor had but four power strokes the
two-cycle had eight power strokes. And
where the usual type had but six power
strokes. the two-cycle had twelve. And.
inasmuch as power IL what motors are
built to produce. II was clear that the
two-cycIe had a 100 per cent advantage.
But where are two-cycles today?

who is now producing them-in spGe

tage. And the reason is that the power
advantage of the two-cycle was more
than Offset by numerous disadvantages
that car owners sooner or later dis
covered at their own expense and an
noyance. / need not go into details.
Father Time Is the only official tester
of automobiles, and 1t was his decision
that put two-cycles on the scrap heap
to keep company with steamers. Thus
two marvellous types of cars-and they
were marvelous-passed out OF use.

ENGLAND IS BUYING
MORE MOTOR CARS
Women, Now Truck Drivers,
Find EIeCtriCs Simpler and
Easier to Operate.

Because more and more men are
enlisting for military service every
day in England, women are fllling
many vacancies and performing many
tasks which two years ago would
have been considered entirely out Of
range of feminine possibilities. One
of the striking examples of the versa
tility of the capable English woman
is her present employment as truck
driver. Practically all of the trucks
used for commercial purposes in Eng
land are now being driven by women
For this reason many English truck
buyers are purchasing vehicles of
but two or three ton capacity and
less and there is a great demand for
electric trucks because of their. simple
mechanism and ease of operation.
While women are proving themselves
efficient and careful drivers. the con-
slant changing of gears, and the
force. make the operation OF heavy
gasolene trucks severe tax on their
strength. The electric vehicle is
therefore being employed to a large

addressed to the Electric Vehicle As

gineering firm OF Heenan & Froude.
electric vehicles In use and on order
in that country are steadily inereas-

THE number of electric trucks Is
now $50 as compared with $50 a year
ago. This does not appear very much
at first sight. Under the clrcum-
stances, however. 1T is distinctly en-
couraging."
