Cadillac IS" Makes
Inter-City Record

Seventy-four and one-half miles in
| hour, II minutes, SO seconds, is the
new road record for motor cars be-
tween Denver and Colorado Springs,
Colo. 1t was made recently by a
Cadillac Eight, driven by Harold
Brinker.
This remarkable dash from one, city
to another was made at an average
speed OF sixty-one and one-half miles
per hour. Done by a stock car not
built for racing work, it was faster,
by almost ten minutes, than noted
racing driver made tree weeks
previous ina racing. car built express
ly for speed. -, -.
This is the third time that the Ca
dillac Eight, with Brinker driving, has
performed speed stunts out of the
ordinary in Denver territory A few
months ago Brinker. drove the car
against twenty-one others in a road
race from Denver to Laramie, Wyo.,
1872 miles. The time was 2 hours, S.
minutes, 10 seconds, and the average
speed close to forty-four miles per
hour. The Cadillac finished eighteen
minutes ahead of its nearest rival, and
thirty-three minutes ahead of the best
previous time over the same route.
Prior to this the same driver. with

SKILLED MEN MUST
II. TREAT AUTO STEEL
Dodge Bros. Have Special Elec
trio Furnace to Prepare
Metal Perfectly.
TESTED FOR HARDNESS

A prominent scientist, in paper
dealing with steel used in the manu-
facture of motor cars, made the fol-
lowing statement recently;
The heat-treatment of steel, iii a
way, is the most important operation
to which it is subjected. There can
be no unimportant details. 1t is es-
sential that the work be done by skill
full men, supplied with accurate py-
rometers, and we'll designed and con-
structed furnaces capable of maintain
ing uniform heat and of being prop
erly regulated"
Which seems to have expressed
precisely the opinion of Dodge Broth
ers. Not only do they insist upon ex-
pertness in every branch of the heat
treating department, but they see
that scientific research work pre-
cedes the actual heating, so that
there may be no error in determining
in advance the exact degree of heat
to which bar of steel should be sub
jected to give it the proper wearing
qualities.
Every different kind OF steel, for
every different part OF the car, must
be put through the research test t.
determine what degree of heat is bes;
adapted to its quality, and to its func-
ton in service. To determine that
degree, hundreds of sampled speci-
mems Of steel are heated at different
temperatures in small electric fur
naces. The results of tests on these
specimens, as made by various types
OF special instruments, are used in de-
termining the exact treatment to be
used in regular production. For in
stance, one of the first tests which a
piece of steel undergoes after emerg-
ing from the electric furnace, is the
Brinnell test for hardness.
Electric furnaces are used because
electricity, more so than other fuels,
may be regulated to a fina point of
exactness. The heat is confined
within a drum or shell, heavily insul-
ated. The pyrometer attachment will
record as high as 1900 degrees Fab
renheit. After it is heated the steel is
cooled, either fast or slow, in one of
the numerous different solutions
standing nearby.

Francis Getting
Maxwell Autos
By the Trainload

c. w. Francis OF the c. W. Fran
els Automobile company returned
last Thursday from the Maxwell fac
tory in Detroit with the gooc news
that twenty-seven carloads, approx.
mating l62 automobiles. would be
sent to Omaha within the next few
weeks. This number, according to
Francis, will not begin to take care of
the needs Of his statesmen and deal
ers, but will help some"
The opinion is current at the Max
we'll factory as we'll as in all automo-
bile circles in Detroit that the 1917
season will be bigger than ever. This
is backed, says Francis, by the fact
that dealers from all sections are
placing orders months in advance, go
ing on the theory that the early
bird catches the worm,'
1--WE have placed orders for very
large number of cars for 1917 and
are fighting to the last ditch for more
cars" says Francis. 1T is simply
impossible, owing to the material
market situation. to get anywhere
near the number OF cars we need"

Pelton Outlines
/ Good Plan for
Handling Used Cars

H. Pelton, distributor of Franklin
and White automobiles, has put into
operation plan for disposing of used
automobiles which is working out in
very satisfactory manner for both
the Pelton organization and the man
who wishes to trade in a used auto
mobile in part payment for new
model.
The question Of disposing of used
automobiles has been a serious one
for many dealers and often times has
forced them to tie up a considerable
amount Of money in second hand cars.
Pelton has inaugurated a depart
ment in charge of Karl McLain, a
man quite capable of selling used au-
tomobiles. This department is avail
able to prospective Franklin" or
White" buyers.
When a prospect has used car
which he deserves to trade in on
new model, the used car department
will endeavor to sell the car at the
price placed upon it by the owner. No
charge is made for this service. 1t is
considered as incidental to making the
new car sale. The cost of maintaining
this department is absorbed by the
saving which is made by not tieing
up actual cash in used automobiles.

Several Changes
In Officials of the
Haynes Company

By an arrangement that became eff
fective September 5, says Charles
Corkhilf, local Haynes distributor, D.
L. Watson, formerly general sales
manager Of the Haynes Automobile
company, became assistant general
manager, and next in rank to A. G.
Soldering, who has been general man
ager of the Haynes company during
the last three years. On Mr.. Wat
sons promotion, Hugh R. Perry, who
was assistant sales manager, became
head OF the sales department.
Don Watson, as he is known among
most of the automobile men in this
country, entered the employ of the
Haynes company sixteen years ago,
when it's output of few two-cylinder
cars a week was considered one of
the largest in the automobile industry.
He has since served in a number of
executive capacities in the repair de-
partment, as manager of the techni-
cal service bureau, purchasing agent,
assistant sales manager, and sales
manager. He assumed the last office
little more than year ago.
CHuCl MS uHcCtlOH tne sales OF
Haynes Light Six" cars has exceed
ed the figures of any previous period
in the twenty-four-year history of the
Haynes company. AT the same time
Haynes representation in every state
has been increased, and in many sec
tons of the United States the number
of agencies has been doubled. His
management has been responsible for
the extension of the Haynes selling
force to practically every foreign au-
tomobile market of importance.
Hugh R. Perry, who succeeds Mr..
Watson as sales manager, has been
in the employ Of the company for five
years. Within the last year he has
acted as assistant advertising man
ager, assistant sales manager and late
ly as private secretary to the general
manager.
