STUFF CARS WON $4,000
Race Winnings Distributed Among
Drivers, Mechanics and Helpers.

Tho year 1915. aside from the honor
which It brought to the factory, was
a very prosperous twelve months for
the Stutz driver squad. On good au-
thority it is stated that the aggregate
winnings OF this team during the sea-
son was $4,000. This money was
distributed among the drivers them
selves.
The management OF the Stutz race
team believes that II car wins, It's
maker should be satisfied with the
honor and practical benefit accruing 20
the sales department-that IL should
not participate in cash winnings IN any
way whatsoever. On that basis Harry
Stutz has proved that the drivers have
the utmost incentive for winning, that
there is 10 friction among the boys
az the wheel and that the general am
bition is 20 produce winning team.
rather than winning individually. The
Stutz cash prize distribution is handled
somewhat IN the following way:
Each driver takes half Of his own
cash winnings. the other half going
into the mutual pool. which Is divided
equally among the drivers. Each
driver in turn gives his mechanician
% per cent Of his individual share Of
the winnings. If driver or mocha
nician is relieved during a race. for, let
us say, one-fourth of the distance, the
relief gets one-fourth OF the gross win
nings of car in which he relieves.
Keeping the account straight is not a
complicated Job. One thin black book
at the factory shows the exact amounts
received By every driver and mechani-
clan during each year.

MOTORISTS ARE
MORE CAREFUL
Ratio of Fatalities to the
Number of Machines Is
Greatly Reduced.

During the FIVE years from 1909 TO
1914 the number of automobiles In use
increased more than twice as rapidly
as the number Of fatalities caused by
them" says q report issued by the
United States Department Of Com
merce.
Comparing mortality figures given in
q preliminary report By the Bureau OF
the Census with figures showing the
number of automobiles in use, the
Department Of Commerce shows that,
while the number of automobiles reg
istered increased from 100000 in 1909
10 100000 at the end of 1914. or 40
per cent, the number of deaths due 10
automobile accidents increased from
632 i'm 1909 20 2,623 IN 1914, or 80 per
cent, in an area containing 81 per cent
Of the population of the country. Thus,
automobiles have increased more than
two and One-third times as much IN the
two years as the automobile fatalities.
A comparison based on the increase
in the rate of automobile fatalities u
100000 population, which the report
states is a more reliable basis, because
the accidents in given area OF pop
ulation will tend 10 be proportional TO
the number of machines in that area
shows that the increase OF 40 per cent
in number of automobiles has been ac-
companied by an increase OF 25o per
cent i'm deaths. On this basis, the
fatalities have increased only One-thlrd
as much az the number of vehicles.
The figures appear 10 furnish ample
justification for the conclusion that the
automobile to-day is being driven with
greater care and more regard for pup.
Il. safety than 1t was a few years ago,
concludes the government report.

Popularity of Multi-Cylinders.

That the public is more interested
than at any previous time in the multi
pie cylinder car is the impression
formed by W. L. Stalnaker, vice presi-
dent and director OF sales Of the Path
finder Company, indianapolis, as the
result of his observations at the New
York show. "In point Of attendance
and number Of buyers" rays Mr.. Stall
maker. New York put up the greatest
show this year that have ever seen,
and I have attended every show OF
Importance since 1906. All our new
cars were sold within two hours after
their arrival at the Grand Central Pal
ace. Senior Brothers, our New York
acslers. sold twenty-six Pathfinder
iu.r Skies the first four days of the
show We closed agencies in eleven
cities in the East and South, and also
IN Toronto. Montreal. and Amsterdam,
Holland. This looks like Pathfinder

Harry s. Houpt. OF the Hudson Motor
Car Company, Of New York, Is always

ing care Of his customers, as he rightly
believes that a satisfied customer Is

With view Of making his service
department even more efficient than II

Chalmers Service Plan.

After six months trial b. owners
the new Chalmers service plan has
proven to be an entire success, ac-
cording TO reports from dealers from
all sections Of the country. Under
the Chalmers plan, service was made
for the first time tangible asset.
With each Chalmers car sold is IN
Guided q leather book with one hun
bred one-half hour coupons good for
fifty hours Of free inspection and ad-
justment service. These coupons are
negotiable at the establishment OF
any Chalmers dealer In the United
States or Canada. In a broader sense,
the plan has proven 20 be benehcial
one to the entire automobile indus
try, q. 1t defines the word service
as understood by the automobile
maker. Contrary TO the popular be
lief. service is not free repair work,
but rather such inspection and ad-
Justment as is necessary during the
first few months of the life Of a car
to insure perfect running.
