Cadillac Curtains Quickly
Placed in Position

Time was when the motorist over
taken by shower, was compelled to
disturb the other occupants of the car
in order to dig out the storm curtains
from underneath the seat cushions.
Even after he had succeeded in extri-
eating them, it required some time to
sort the mover and find the right cur
tains for their respective places.
In the meantime, everyone was
painfully conscious of the fact that it
was raining.
A good example of how this annoy
ance has been overcome is seen in the
Cadillac, in which a most convenient
method has been devised. When not
in use, the curtains are held neatly
overhead on the under side of Inc
top. Being attached to the top frame
work, they are not apt to become lost
or disarranged.
The simple turn of fasteners releases
the curtains from their pockets and
allows them to fall into their respec-
tive positions. They are always acces-
sible at times when quick action is
desirable and II is a simple matter to
secure them in their correct positions
without even getting out OF the car
Another convenient feature is the
manner in which provision is made so
that the curtains open with the doors.

February Shows III Per
Cent. Gain For the Paige

February, 1916, showed an extra
ordinary increase of business for the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company
over the total business for the same
month last year. To be exact, the in
crease in the number of cars built
and delivered was III per cent. for
that single month over the February,
1915. record.
Comparing the total number of
cars built and delivered during the
one month, February, 1916, with the
total number of cars built and ship
ped during the entire twelve months
of the company's first season five
years ago is even a more striking com
mentary on the extraordinary de-
Velopment and growth of the Paige
This comparison shows that the bust
ness for February, 1916, was 1877 per
cent. greater than the business of all
twelve months of the first year added
together. And if we compare the
business of the first February with the
same month in 1916 the increase is
1914 per cent
Two factors explain this enormous
advance: The popularity and prestige
the Paige has won and the develop
ment of manufacturing facilities
which now make it possible for the
Paige TO turn out 175 cars a day.

Coal Cars and Flats
Used For Auto Shipments

Ever see automobiles shipped in
coal cars? Never. Neither did we un-
til this year. In fact we never ex-
pected to.
The railroads all over the land,
realizing the Importance of handling
automobiles as freight, constructed
special cars for their transportation.
At present there are about 10000
automobile cars in existence in the
u. S. \.
But 10000 has proved entirely
inadequate. At this time shipments
are badly complicated through the
fact that over 10000 freight cars
and inland as far as Buffalo, Pitts
burgh, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
Mobile. because of lack of ships to
take their cargoes to foreign ports
Other little things like snow storms
in the West and floods in the South
have meant more cars unavailable
and given traffic managers of auto
mobile companies serious problem to
solve.
Because of their inability to secure
enough automobile freight cars The
Willys-O Overland Company of Toledo
has hit upon the eNpedient of ship
ping a part of its output tarpaulined
in flat cars and gondolas-in order
that its huge daily output be kept
moving as fast as manufactured.
The sight of several Overland or the
WHY'S Knight automobiles, in gon-
dolas or in fiat cars, securely lashed
to the car floorings, and covered with
heavy tarpaulins, is daily becoming
more common in the railroad yards,
and is good evidence of the endeavor
of the company to fill with all possible
dispatch the orders that have been
flooding the factory for these popular
cars.

Empire Factory Rushed to
Meet Spring Demands

This season probably more than
ever before a problem which will con-
front automobile buyers and dealers
more strongly than any other is the
question of deliveries from car manu-
facturers. Basing our judgment on
the conditions of last Fall as we'll as
indications of early winter, there is
going to be a huge demand for cars
next Spring, a demand that under
normal conditions would tax manufac-
turers' facilities to the utmost. This
demand, coupled with the conditions
which exist in the material market
make the situation acute. Raw ma
terials are hard Ito buy in the first
place and after the manufacturer has
them, he is faced by another huge
task in refining and fitting them for
use in his car. War conditions and
the huge amount of war contracts
placed in America are, of course, re-
sponsible for a great portion of this
material shortage in the automobile
field. This is easy to understand when
II is considered that practically the
same raw materials and same tools
for machining this material are re-
quired in completion of these war
contracts as in construction of the mo-
tor car" says F. A. Babcock, sales
manager of the. Empire Automobile
Company.
Months ago we realized what this
condition would be and in order that
our dealers might be taken care of
and deliveries assured in Spring, plac-
ed all contracts for materials for i'm
mediate delivery. AS a result we now
have in our factory in transit to us,
or will have delivered before March /,
every bit of material required to pro-
duce our 1916 models. Our factory
throughout the season will work full
time building these cars. This fore
sight means that Empire dealers will
be taken care of on deliveries through
out the season and our production will
be larger than ever before, for be-
tween now and June 1, we will build
twice as many cars as we have ever
before produced any entire season,
and to assure all dealers of deliver
les, we will contract with only as
many as whose requirements we can
meet. Our factories, of course. for
production this season are greater
than ever before with the occupancy
of a new factory at Indianapolis, which
will allow for the production of the
vastly increased number of cars which
we have scheduled"

facturer would bring to this market Il

erto produced. The answer lay in re-
ducing the cost of labor through in
creased and improved manufacturing.

head expense by enlarginug his Out

How well the leaders of the industry
adjusted themselves to this new con
dition is seen in the values offered at
the present time, when better cars are
marketed at lower prices than ever be-
fore.

Chalmers Completes One
Addition, Builds Another


To meet increased demand for
manufacturing space, ground was
broken at the plant of the Chalmers
Motor Company early in the week for
a main building 400 feet long, so feet
wide and four stories high, to cost
$150,000 The building will have a
wing 60X50 feet, and with the recently
completed Service Building will add
200 square feet of floor space to
the Chalmers plant.
Although the Chalmers factory has
long been known as one of the largest
and most completely equipped auto
mobile plants in the city, the recent
jump i'm production from 10000 to
over 10000 cars per year has made
necessary the new additions.
Building Number Two, as the new
structure will be known, is an exact
duplicate. both architecturally and in
size. of the three main buildings now
facing Jefferson avenue. Albert Kahn
is the architect, and he has provided
space on the main floor FOR factory
offices and store rooms. The rest of
the building will be devoted to manu-
featuring, over $4,000 in machinery
having been purchased for this pur-
pose. The structure will be modern
throughout and will be modern
vidual locker and wash bowl space
and other convenienCes for en-
ployes.
The new Service BUILDING will be
used exclusively for manufacturing
parts for Chalmers mode1s of past
years 1t is estimated that there are
now some $4,000 Chalmers cars in the
hands of owners, and the added facili-
ties of the new building will aid the
service department in promptly filling
parts orders. To furnish this build
ing with machinery, the entire me-
chanical equipment of a big Detroit
machine shop was purchased. together
with additional machines at an out
lay of $4,000. An entirely separate
battery of drop-hammers has also
been installed for making forgings, to
obviate the necessity for interrupting
work in the REGULAR factory forgeshop.

The motor-driven vehicle was new

In the models of this year is seen

country towards a sound and practical
basis of manufacture and marketing.
Many influences have been respon-
sible for this movement of the automo-
bile business in this direction but the
chief reason may be traced to the gem
eral use of the motorcar among ali
classes of people In those days when
the use of the automobile was confined
to a comparative few, excessive prices,

How Fast Does Bullet Drop?


 The trajectory of arifle is the curve which the bullet describes in travelling from the muzzle of the rifle to it's mark at a given range. This curve is the com
 ponent of two forces d the momentum imparted to the bullet in the rifle barrel and @ the downward pull of gravitation. Many persons have the erroneous fdea that so long as body is trayeling ahead very fast it will not drop. The fallacy of this notion can be very prettily shown by laboratory experiment in which two rubber balls of the same size and weight are projected from miniature catapult at precisely the same instant, but in such a way that ball A has double the velocity of ball E. Although ball A will travel twice as far as ball before it strikes the floor. it will always be ob- served that the two balls strike the floor at the same instant.
 High velocity, then, does not free a
 rifle bullet from the effect of gravity,
 but it does enable it to travel a greater
 distance ahead before it has had time to
 fall any given distance. That is the
 true reason why high velocity tends to
 give low trajectory. For comparison
 of cartridges the heibht of the trajectory
 at midrange is generally taken as the
 standard.
