On general policy the Paige Detroit
Motor Car company stands pat for the
new season in spite of all exceptional
conditions in the la or and material mar
ket, and unmoved by tendencies here and
there to experiment with fancies In de-
sign and mechanics.
The Paige claim OF a resounding hit in
the field Of skies seems justified In view
of the popularity OF this car and the
fact that six months ago rapidly ex-
panding business compelled the erection
Of large additions to the new factory
that had sdst been entered. and prepa-
rations for new manufacturing methods
and greater supplies of material.
The Paige is combining itself exclu-
sively to the six field, In which it has
made it's overwhelming success, and this
company opens the year 1916 with two
models, the five-passenger six as" SELL
ing for $1,000, and the seven-passenger
six 80" selling for 81 .295, For the lat
ter chassis. however there are several
additional body styles-the caoriol"- at

1890 and the town car at $3.50, also a
limousine soon to be added. This is the
Paige line and the compsny's exhibits at
all automobile shows for the year will
be based on these models and body
styles The announcement Is also made
that the company has figured on a pro-
duction Of about 10000 cars and is guar

gadillac-Eight
Has No Fear for
Coolest Months

Every motorist who operates his car
in winter knows the annoyance of the
warming up period which must fol-
low starting the engine after it has
stood overnight in cold garage or for
several hours on the street So the de-
vice on the Cadillac Eight which facili-
tates warming up is of interest to all
motorists.
This device exercises a thermostatic
control over the the fluid in the coling
system and, like many other motor car
developments, was inaugurated by the
Cadillac company. The thermostats, of
which there are two-one for each block
of cylinders-operate in connection with
valves which open and close as the Their
mostats expand and contract with heat
and cold.
When the engine and radiator are cold,
the valves are closed and the water in
the radiator is practically cut off from
that in the water jackets of the cylinders.
After the engine is started. the liquid
surrounding the cylinder rises In tenn
perature and the thermostat valves open
slowly. Without the thermostat all the
liquid in the cooling system would have
to be heated before the engine would run
well. whereas with the thermostats. only
small quantity has to be warmed at
the outset, and the thermostat valves
admit the water from the radiator as
the temperature of the fluid rises.
The device is wholly automatic in it's
action. 1t enables the engine to reach
Ns highest efficiency much more quickly
than would be possible il it were neces-
sary to heat the entire volume of circu-
lating fluid before that efficiency were
obtained.
