COMFORT PREVAILS
in PACKARD RUNABOUT
Many Mechanical Features Also In
cluded in New Type.

The Packard Motor Car Company has
announced its second series of twelve
cylinder motor cars following the deliv-
cry In the last year of nearly 5000 Twin
Skies and their successful operation in
the hands Of owners. The company also
announces that. although the last sea-
sons output was nearly three times as
great as that Of the previous. year, a
further substantial increase in produc-
ton will be made in the next twelve
months.
When the first Packard was built in
1899 1t had back OF 1t the principle of
building only the highest quality Of car.
Persistins in this wise policy, the Pack
ard Company has made each year a con-
sistent advance in design, accompanied
by a corresponding increase IN volume Of
business
The new model cars are built consid-
erably lower than any previous Packard
cars. the chassis alone being approx
mately two inches lower. This has been
made possible by using 35x5-inch tires on
all four wheels, by nattening the rear
springs and by the lowering of the spring
pad on the front axle, thus bringing the
running boards to sixteen inches from

EMERSON and ORME
TO HANDLE BUCKS
Old Established Dealers Take Over
New Line.

Two names synonymous each in their
respective lines are now coupled together
In Washington, Emerson & Orme and
Buick The name Emerson & OTme has
long stood for quality among the motor
ing public OF Washington. and they have
long had as their slogan. when better
service is given II will still be Emerson &
Orme service" The Buick Motor Com
pany some time ago adopted as their own
saying, when better automobiles are
built Buick will build them"
Last week Emerson & Orme closed for
the Buick agency in Washington. Buick
has long been one of the leaders among
the medium-priced cars OF the country.
This year they are building a car cheap
In price. and doubtless before the year is
over they will be numbered among the
leaders in the low-priced field. Turning
over the agency to q Arm Of individuals
after operating a branch IN this city for
a number OF years does not mean that
the Buick Motor Company as such will
go out Of business IN this city. They plan
to still continue their Connecticut avenue
branch as a retail store The service sta
ton on L street will also be retained.

HAYNES MOTOR CO.
ADOPTS SERVICE PLAN
New Method Guarantees Service oil
5000 Miles.

The Haynes Motor Company have
adopted a service plan that is original
to Washington at least All Haynes own
ers at the time OF purcha sing their car
are given a card which Is divided of into
squares, each one representing 800 miles
and so numbered. Eight thousand is
the highest square. Instructions are given
to the owner to bring his car to the
service station after he has driven it
every 500 miles and have 1t looked over.
This work and the necessary adjustments
are part Of the service that Is due every
owner OF this make machine. The card
must be presented each time that service
is asked for under this guarantee. On
the card Is the owners name, address,
year and model of his car and motor
number. The card Is also numbered.
The service manager in his book has
an account with every numbered card
that is out and as the possessors show
them at the time, service on the car is
given and a record made in the book of
the day, date and exact nature OF serv-
Ice or repairs that were made. In this
way an accurate record Is kept Of the
performance Of each machine that Is in
use. D. B. Gish, manager Of the Haynes
Motor Company, states that 5000 miles
was decided upon as the basis Of free
service because this is about the mileage
that the average owner will make in a
year. Bringing in the car every 500 miles
for adjustment and examination prevents
any serious trouble developing.
Most firms while they give their own
ers service do so under the so-called
years guarantee of service. Owners come
in when 1t best suits their convenience
and no absolute record is kept Of the
amount of work done on the cars. Also
It is fairer to the general run Of motor
lists. II a man does not drive his machine
5000 miles within a year his service guar
antes remains intact until after he has
covered that amount of mileage.

panies. The Buick Motor Company has
enjoyed a large wholesale trade In the
section adjacent to Washington, and
this end of the work has required more
and more attention from the branch
until they found that the buying public
OF this city could be better served by
giving the selling rights to an indi-
vtdual who was in a position to care for
the wants of customers.
Emerson & Orme, though in the years
OF their business life have handled gaso-
line cars. have devoted most of their time
up to now selling electric cars. 1t is said
they have disposed OF almost as many
electrics in Washington as did the New
York once OF the company they repre-
sent.

ton, they decided to take on q gaso-
line car After visiting the West and
looking over all the cars that were avail
able for representation here they finally
chose the Buick. The car needs no intro
duction to the Washington public.
In planning their new building, which
they have Just taken possession Of. they
not only prepared to give the best of
garage service for both gasoline and cleo
trio machines, but for the automobiles
whose agency they already had. The
first floor OF the building is given over
across the entire front to offices and
salesroom. with the exception OF Just
room enough for a double driveway. one
in and the other out. Back of this Is the
garage proper. The ground floor lie for
gasoline car storage. while the second
floor is exclusively for electrics. On the
third floor provision is made for shop
room and the remaining space given over
to storage

the ground. This lower construction
greatly improves the appearance Of the
cars and makes them more compact. The
bodies are roomy and comfortable
There is an entirely new body, very
neat four-passenger runabout. In this
newest backward body there are individ-
ual front seats, with a passageway be-
tween, SO that two persons may be seat
ed comfortably in the cosy rear com
partment.
Plated Upholstery Used.
A new type of upholstery springs is
used, making 1t possible to lower all
seats. The upholstery in the open bodies
is straight-grain. hand-buffed leather,
enclosed bodies a wide range of exclu-
give upholstery is offered the purchaser.
In the touring bodies, excepting the p
g. salon touring. and in all of the six
passenger enclosed bodies, the folding
seats are OF the forward disappearing
type.
Probably the most noteworthy change
from the mechanical point Of view is the
unique water circulation system. In the
place of the water being expelled from
the forward ends of the cylinder blocks,
as Is customary with V-type motors, the
gas intake manifold has been cored out
to permit all water from the cylinder
jackets to be circulated through this
manifold and thence to the radiator
through a single tube at the center. This
arrangement not only eliminates consid-
cradle tubing, but causes the water to
surround the gas intake header while at
the highest temperature and greatly as

Daniels Urges Need Of
Adequate Oil Supply

WASHINGTON. March 3l.-Secretary
Daniels today told the house naval COM
mittee that IL congress passed pending
bills, a large part of the navy's oil reserve
lands in California would be taken away
Unless an adequate oil supply at reason
able prices could be assured he said, it
was questionable whether the construc-
ton OF oil burning warships could be
continued.
Secretary Daniels urged that the bill
include the purchase of 232 acres of land
from the city San Diego. Cal. as a site
for a marine submarine base.
Taking up the building program Mr..
Daniels made public for the first time
the report OF the navy general board of
1903, which was designed to keep the
United States navy in second place.
III 1t had been carried out he said,
I'VE would have had twenty dreadnoughts
and ten battle cruisers by 1919. II would
have placed us superior to Germany at
the beginning of the present war. We
kept in second place to England up TO
1909. when we dropped back and Germany
took second place.
Mr.. Daniels took up i'm detail his recon-
mendations for a five-year building pro
gram, saying the value of battle cruisers
was still disputed among navy officers.
The general opinion in the navy, however
he added, seemed to be in their favor
but not to the exclusion OF dreadnaughts
Therefore the secretary said he had in
cluded six battle cruisers in his pro
gram.
