"Mr Fox said he was better

Madam Hen, thinking that every

STEAM AUTOMOBILE IS
LATEST FROM DETROIT
Long Time Since This Form of
Power Was Popular.

It has been long time since steam
automobiles apparently had the call in
the motoring world, and where once
there were several prominent makes,
particularly the White, which was
known the world over. the steam car
market is these days very limited. The
Stanley still holds forth. but the pro-
duction Of a new steam car in these
internal combustion motor days is
something worth while chronicling in
an important way.
The General Engineering Company,
Of Detroit, is preparing 70 build in
quantities n steam car, which is the
invention of Abner Doble, and which
differs from earlier steamers in that
the burner is electrically lighted and
has not the oldtime pilot light, which
steam car users will recall with varied
emotions. The car burns kerosene. and
will travel fifteen miles to the gallon,
il is stated.
THE radiator of the car is used 10
condense the exhaust steam, and as the
water is used over and over again the
tank needs a new supply only once
every 400 niles" says Mr.. Doble.
This feature also enables me 20 keep
a thin lin of oil on the inner surfaces
of all the generator tubing. by mixing

Next Saturdays Contest
Promises To Be Real
Record Breaker.

If the fastest ears, the best drivers
and the finest speedway for motor cars
in the country are the elements needed
TO make q great race, the Sheepshead
Bay Speedway has them for the second
renewal of the Astor Cup contest that
will be run next Saturday at the Bay.
For this contest thirty-four entries
already have been received and sew
ersl others are pending, so that the
field which goes to the post TO do bat
tie for $50 miles over the two-mile
circuit will include In good numbers
the greatest speed creations of the de-
signers of racing motors.
Making of new records for sustained
speed at the distance is predicted, and
inasmuch as the title of champion of
the year will go far toward being set
tied by the result of this race, the
drivers will fight hard to 60 TO the
front and TO earn the added prize
money for this honor, as we'll as the
$4,000 that has been put up by the
management at Sheepshead Bay.
To date the signed entries are these:
Crawford, Moore; Crawford, Klein;
Crawford, Chandler; Kleinart, driver
not named; Delage, Franchi; Delsge,

a small amount of oil with the water.
This prevents scales and rust, and
takes care of all engine fabrication
except that in the crank case. One
gallon of oil is sufficient for 5000
miles.
"To start the car nothing is re-
CURED but TO turn the ignition switch
and open the throttle. If the generator
is dead cold from standing a day or
more one and a half minutes are re-
CURED 10 generate steam.
"A great saving both in first cost and
in maintenance is effected By the abb
sence of clutch, gear set propeller

will travel anywhere from a snail's
pace up to eighty miles an hour with
out the slightest noise or vibration.

that il would be thought every car
owner would realize how vitality I'M
portant it is to see that his car is kept
creased and oiled. For the owner
driver, especially in a city garage, this
is a messy and disagreeable job, and
one that he would Willingly be spared
if he could be sure he could find some
one who would faithfully go over his
car and keep it creased. Tipping a
garage helper TO do it does not mean 1t
will be thoroughly done, however, and
very often the owner takes things for
granted and goes right on until the
breaking OF a ball race or the cracking
of gear tells him he must have over
looked something.
A couple of men in this town who
have been giving this phase Of the
automobile business serious attention
have begun q service TO owners of cars
that will relieve them OF the mess and
trouble Of keeping their cars properly
fabricated. They contract with the
owner that he may bring his car in as
often as need be for complete and
thorough fabrication at all the many
points that care in general need to be
CREASED. They have opened up place
appropriately called The Grease Spot,
at 204 West Seventy-sixth street. The
service is "a hours a day, for the bene-
fit of the man who can't get his car in
in the daytime for the fabrication.

Thirty-four Entries and
Perhaps More for
25O-Mile Dash.

The Premier is another racing new
conner.
Whatever car Ralph de Palma drives
Is bound to be followed with interest:
De Palma is popular, and is capable OF
getting great speed out OF a car, when
he has had a chance TO tune 1t up
thoroughly. II De Palma has the mount
on a Peugeot he will make the other
drivers of this French marque go fast
TO head him. If he sticks to the Mer-
cedes. which he has so long driven, he
will give an exhibition of hesdwork and
judgment that will go far toward land
ing him the major prize, although his
car may not have the speed for one lap
of the entries opposed to him.
In De Palma, Resta, Aitken, wilcox,
Rickenbacher, Pullen, Chevrolet and
Christians, the field certainly includes
the best of the present day automobile
racing drivers.
There will be elimination trials next
Thursday, and the cars that cannot
show ninety miles an hour for the
course will be forced TO withdraw. NO
more than thirty-two cars will be per
mitted to start.
The speedway has a seating capacity
Of more than $4,000 and space for park
ing 10000 cars, but with a clear day
this capacity will undoubtedly be tested
70 the limit. Tickets have been put on
sale at 1924 Broadway, where the
speedway management has opened an
Office, at all ticket agencies. at K: II.

& Straus, in Brooklyn.

Auto Schedule of a Days
% Hours Is One
Makers Idea.
RECORDS HAVE MADE
BIG CHANGES IN YEAR
Stutz, Cadillac, MarmOn
and Hudson in Turn
Make New Figures.

Automobile driving across the CONT
nent is fast approaching the point when
less than five days from coast TO coast
will be the record. The performance
of the Hudson car recently in crossing
in 5 days hours 81 minutes came
close 10 the fve-day performance, and
a. that time was lost on account OF
an accident in Iowa and again because
the pilot, coming down the Hudson
River. got off the road from Al
bany TO this city. The chances seemed
all in favor Of doing just about days
for the trip. when the latter mishap set
things back so far.
Fred L. Mos5ovics, Of the Nordyke
& Marmon Company, whose record OF
DAYS Is hours so minutes it was
that the Hudson broke, is firmly OF the
opinion that days for the journey
can surely be beaten. AS matter OF
fact. when the Marmon In July went
out after the record, which was then
days II hours 81 minutes made by
Cadillac car in May, the running sched-
ule called for speed that would have
brought the Msrmon car to the tape
in 4 DAYS % hours. And the Marmon
WAS ahead of that schedule until the
last 900 miles, when heavy cloudbursts
broke I'D all calculations. Whether the
Marmon will go back again TO try now
that the record has been taken away,
i not vet certain, but if 1t does and
can adhere 10 the schedule, the record
will come down another notch.
Away back in the early days OF mo-
torinp. transcontinental trips were
rarely attempted. The REQ had one OF
the first records, and that was IN the
neighborhoOd of two weeks, go0d

automobile industry in this country,
