USES EGG BEATER,

When making thickening for soups
or vegetables put the -four and water
into bowl, stir up with a spoon, then
mix with egg beater for a few seconds,
and you will never have lumpy paste.
When setting sponge for bread if egg
beater is used instead of spoon you
will have much finer bread.

TWENTY STATES IN
THIRTY-DAY RUN
Possibilities of Touring on
Short Notice Shown in
5,000-Mile Trip

Just as NJ. H. Carpenter. Chalmers
dealer in Wichita Falls, Texas, was
about TO board a train for Detroit n
Railway Trainmen announced a gen.
eral strike on all American roads, ef-
fective September 4th.
Carpenter planned to be absent
from home thirty days. As business
was exceptionally good, he did not
intend to be marooned north of Mas
on and Dixon's line while the railway
people fought out their difficulties.
As though to solve his difficulties, a
reached Wichita Falls on the day
scheduled for his departure. Taking
one of the green automobiles from the
freight car, and without any special
preparation, Carpenter and three
friends started on a tour north.
We had only a few hours to get
under way and were somewhat fear
full of taking a brand new car over
rough country roads" said Mr.. Car
penter on his arrival in Detroit But
our fears were groundless. The g.
800 r. P. NJ. motor worked as smooth
ly on the first day out, as when we
rolled up the driveway at the fac
tory.
The 2,O50-mile drive to Detroit was
maze IN Just bU nOuTS running liIilS.
one hundred and fifteen miles of the
trip included plowing through six
inch gumbo in Iowa and Illinois,
but we obtained the fine average OF
171e miles per gallon of gasoline and
$40 miles per gallon of lubricating oil.
The first 125 miles out of Wichita
were through deep sand, but although
the car carried 1870 pounds of bag
gage, camping equipment and passen-
Iol trn,kIa in a > he
grade.
ION the smooth stretches of road
and in the mud holes alike, we repeat
edly passed cars of higher horsepow-
er and not once during the trip were
we called upon to make adjustments.
The hood was never raised except to
replenish our supply OF lubricating
oil. Right now the car will throttle
down to one mile per hour on high
gear and we have passed the 5s-mile
mark on many occasions on the
smooth roads. 4 remarkable feature
of the cars performance is IT'S acceler-
ative qualities. We have timed our
gear changes and have found that ii
is possible to go from a standing
start through the gears to Is miles per
hour in ! 2-5 seconds.
ION the entire trip. we slept, cook
ed and had our meals out of doors
Arriving in Chicago, we made a de-
tour up to Milwaukee, and from there
to Detroit. On reaching the motor
capital the car ran so beautifully that
we decided to extend our trip through
eleven more States. We had traversed
10 States on our tour north, so we
will have made good our boast oi
twenty States in thirty days by this
time we reach home again. 10 rae, the
trip admirably illustrates the amount
of territory man can cover with a
3,4O0 r. P. NJ. Chalmers without any
preparation or planning his trip
weeks ahead OF time"
Before returning to Texas, Mr.. Car
penter and his party will visit the
principal cities of the cast, including
Buffalo, Rochester, New York, Hart.

FRONT-MARKET
Motor Supply Co.
Otis c. Friend Appointed
Manager of Mitchell Co.

The biggest news item in the Auto
mobile trade this week is the Mitchell
Company's announcement that Otis
general mana ger of the Mitchell Mo-
tors Company. Inc, cf Racine. Wis.
TO succeed II. L. McC!aren.
Some two months ago Friend re-
signed from the Mitchell Company to
become vice president and general
manager of the United Motors Cor
poration. However. on the resigna-
ton of H. L. McClaren, he was elect
ed president and general manager of
the Mitchell Motors Company. Inc
Friends long association with the
Mitchell. his loyalty to those with
whom he had been for years. helped
him convince the United Motors Cor
poration that his moral obligation was
to his friends at the Mitchell plant,
and like the broad-minded men they
are they consented to release him
from his contract, so that Mr.
Friend will assume his new duties at
once.
His rise in the automobile field has
been rapid and with his experience he
is probably one of the most versatile
men in the automobile field occupying
this important position. His exper-
tence covers the rise of the automo-
bile since its inception, and il may be
said there is no one with the eXcep-
tion of John w. Bate who has more
intimate knowledge of the Mitchell
product, policy, organization and
needs.
Under his able leadership the Nit
chell Company organized what is to-
day considered throughout the trade
one of the most intensive selling or
ganizations in the automobile field and
as reward he has seen the Mitchell
production grow from someS2T0O cars
in 1913 to 1900 in 1916. and a 25,-
600 car production outlined for 1917.
The personnel of the Mitchell Mo-
tors Company. Inc, will remain in
tact, with the exception OF Mr..
Friends appointment as president
and general manager. and with John
w. Bate as vice president in charge
of factory management and Chief
Engineer W. II. Armstrong as secre-
tary and treasurer and F L. Mitchell
as controller, the production of 25,-
600 Mitchell cars for 1917 is in full
swing. and the stage all set for even
greater prosperity than in 1916,
when the production increased so
phenom enally.

ton providing more than $4,000 ad-
ditional square feet. Ground has al
ready been broken for the new build
ing, and it's completion will be rushed
to the utmost in order to be able to
take care of the increased demand for
Bosch products.
The addition is to be single story
building for fine manufacturing and
consequently is to have a saw-tooth
type of roof providing the maximum
of light and ventilation.
When this second addition has been
completed, there will have been more
than 10000 square feet of manufac-
turing space added to the Bosch
works during 1916.

Constructive Genius Back
of Firestone Organization

The constructive and organizing
genius of Americas bigger business
men is standing the test of the tre-
mendous increase of business centercd
in America during the disturbance in
Europe.
AS a case in point the great Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Company at Ak
ron announces an increase in vol
ume of business. Before this increase
the volume of business of this COM
pany had reached more than twenty
five million annually through steady,
persistent growth. The business was
established 16 years ago. Five years
ago the company moved into new gi
gantic plant it had erected. In the
five years since their annual sales
have increased 257 per cent. The
very fact that they are advertising
indicates that in the face of an in
crease of IS per cent. this year up to
June 1st they are still inviting more
business.
Back of this ability of the Fire
stone Company lies true organization
ability. AS though sensing what was
to come, Mr.. Firestone planned that
new factory years ago so that every
one of the enormous additions made
since has fitted into place as n per-
feet unit of the original. Though
the plant has been tripled in size in
five years. yet production, day by
day, has never seriously suffered and
none of the efficiency systems of the
steady progress of the product
through the plant have been sacri-
feed. Meanwhile the company has
for years been putting in direct fac
tory branches in all motoring CEN
ters. tightening the lines here and
there, preparing to give ever and ever
increasing service to the tire user.
There is a point in all this. If this
country ever comes to the place where
gigantic organization power is neces-
sary to the life of the nation, as it has
been during these last few years. to
some other countries the ability of
our Firestones will count big in our
favor

the best idea submitted for a flve-reel
sequel to its Mystery picture in each
of these thirteen districts brand new
overland car will he given.
When the decision to give these cars
away was made Mr.. Goebel decided
to secure the most popular autom obile
on the market.
Representatives were sent all over
the country to investigate and exam
Inc all sorts of standard cars Because
of the great advertising campaign
that would result in benefit to the
makers of cars. many attractive of
fers were made by automobile man
ufacturers: the Overland people,. how
ever, did not deviate from their pol
icy of selling their products at fixed
price. Mr. Goehel refused to be infiu-
enced by promises of donations. He
was in the market for the best car
and refused to take advertising in
fiuence into consideration.
We investigated thoughtfully and
carefully" said Mr.. Goebel recently.

In Cadillac, From
Vancouver to Winnipeg

From Vancouver to Winnipeg was
tho feat accomplished for the first
time by motorcar, when H. W. White
of the former city. recently made the
trip and won the gold trophy offered
by the Vancouver Automobile club.
The car in which Mr.. White achieV-
ed this record was Cadillac. He was
accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter. s.sr
The total distance travelled was
175SL miles, of which 1.005ia, be-
tween Vancouver and Calgary. was
made in 64H hours actual running
time-nearly 16 miles an hour, an un-
usually good record in view of the
road conditions
Shortly after leaving Seattle. on the
road between Kirkland ferry Con the
east side OF Lake Washington and
Snoqualmie Falls. they attained an
altitude of 500 feet above sea level
negotiating the climb in hour and As
minutes. without change of gear.
This feat is made all the more re-
markable when II is considered that
the tourists were towing a trailer
which was veritable house on
wheels, comprising two bedrooms
with full sized beds-a dining room
and a kitchen.
While the roads were fair on the
average. there were stretches that
seyerelr tested even the staunchness
of the Cadillac.
Toward the end of their journey the
roads were particularly bad, entire
districts having experienced the wet
test season within the memory OF the
oldest inha hitant.
. At one point, for instance, they en-
countercd 4 washout which had en-
tirely removed all traces of two bridg-
es, and ii was only by the courtesy OF
a freight train conductor, who gave
them permission to travel for two
miles on the tracks, that they were
able TO continue their tourney.

Sun Light Six Shows
Many Exclusive Features

The unusual performance of the
Sun Light Six is due to the high pow
er and low weight of the car. Horse
power in itself has an empty mean
ing-it's the ratio of horsepower to
weight that really counts. (Regardless
of motor power the car that Is un-
necessarily heavy will not make good
on the road.
In the Sun Light Six there is one
horsepower for every SO pounds of
car weight The motor. which is an
exclusive Sun design, is of the high
speed efficiency type. Every attention
has been given to mechanical refine
ment. Nothing has been considered
too Insignificant for careful attention.
The diameter OF the valves has been
given just as much consideration as
the size of the cylinders. The valve
operating mechanism is very speedy.
The compression is higher than that
used in the average motor. The en-
tire valve-operating mechanism is
subjected to a spray of oil, eliminat-
ing noise and wear
The three-bearing crankshaft Is
scientifically balanced, and even the
exhaust manifold was not developed
until numerous tests had been made
as to the best method of scavenging
motor effectively.
These things largely account for the
fact that the Sun Light Six motor
actually develops fifty horsepower on
the block test
Other points which place the Sun
motor In an exclusive class are as fol-
lows: Ralfeld carburetor; intake
manifold cast integral with cylinder;
Remy starting. lighting and ignition
system; bronze back bearings; piston
pins bronze brushed: removable cy-
Under head; one-piece cramshaft, with
large bearings; splash and force feed
fabrication. with high duty oil pump:
spiral timing gears. etc.
