the patriotic movement started by
Percy Owen, president and general
manager of the Liberty Motor Car

The appointment of the two
students was left in the hands Of
Harry B. Hutchins, president of
the university, who made his choice
on a basis Of scholastic standing.

With the speedometer Of his Max

field secretary of the Dixie Highway
Association, motored into Detroit
last week. after an extended trip
through the South, where he has

those sections of the South where
the travel was toughest to make
his message more effective. He

It was getting late by this time,
so we took direct way home. The
night air was delicious, and the
shadows and the semi-darkness
added magic to the country.
First we came to Glen Ridge, then
to Bloomfield, Watsessing Park and
Newark. We took the Essex and
Hudson Lincoln Highway out OF
Newark into Jersey City, taking our
time, and came into New York by
the Forty-second Street ferry.
Going uptown, many Of the streets
were wet. Again. / think Mr..
Kengla was glad, for he took just
pride in showing the non-skid quail
ties of the car. Even on the smooth

brakes did not result in skidding. In
fact, the ease with which the car
was operated made riding in it al
together delightful. So, although 1t
was getting late, no one was glad
when the day was over.

MEXICO" BROUGHT
TO NEW YORK
Colt-Stratton Company Shows
Unique Window Display.

Some idea of what is to be found
in the way of mountain scenery.
roads, reptiles and other things
along the Mexican border is wildly
portrayed in the window of the
Colt-Stratton Company, the Dodge
Brothers, motor car dealers, Broad
way, at 57th Street. The window
display is striking and has at.
tracted thousands of pedestrians.
The scene is remarkably true TO
life. A vast desert land is shown.
steep and rocky mountain loom
ing in the foreground. American
soldiers are to be seen riding across
the rough and narrow passage.
The men are in wax, but the Dodge
,, Brothers motor car in the scene is
the real thing. The entire scene
affords a graphic idea of the ter
riflc obstacles encountered by both
man and machine in the invasion
OF "Carranza land"
The prominent part played in
the border activities by the Dodge
Brothers car prompted the Colt
Stratton company to create the
vast window picture. More than
200 Dodge Brothers cars, both the
five passenger and roadster type.
are now in the government service.
General Pershing adopted the car
early IN the campaign as the official
conveyance of himself and staff,
and since then it has come into
great popularity with the officers.
1t was a Dodge Brothers car in
which Captain Morey, the only
officer who survived the massacre
of Carrizal, was borne back to
camp after he had been found wan
derlng far out in the desert. A
Dodge Brothers car saved a family
during the night of the Columbus
raid by outrunning an automobile
loaded with Villa bandits. MANY
other instances are on record where
the Dodge Brothers car served a
humanitarian as well as a military
cause, all of which the Colt-Strat-
ton company points to as an indi-
cation of unfaltering service and
dependability.

The Haynes Automobile Company,
of Kokomo, Ind, will close entries
to its offer to exchange a Light
Twelve" automobile for the Oldest
HAYNES car at midnight on Satur-
day, August 10. One hundred and
thirty-fve owners Of two and four
cylinder models, built many years
ago. have answered the inquiry OF
the Haynes company for the Oldest
car.
Motor car builders are realizing
more than ever the desirability OF
keeping the floor boards of the car
cool. and some leading makers are
giving special attention TO this feat
ure and placing the exhaust pipe
well under the car. For instance,
in the Marmon "a, the exhaust mani
fold points TO the front of the motor
rather than TO the rear, as in ordi-
nary practice. This placement not
only allows a freer passage of burned
gases by lowering the temperature
in the exhaust pipe, by reason OF the
cooling influence of the fan, but IL
also provides a relatively cool ex-
haust pipe under the car and far
away from the floor boards. The ad-
vantage of this will readily be real
lied by the front seat passengers IN
summer driving.

car for Mr.. Pages personal use. The
finish is white enamel for body, wire

mudguards and running gear are the
same shade of green as the leather

Mr.. Clark's creation has been
termed the most aquatic of the many

Just the Trip for Rest and
Variety-Good Roads
Every Minute Filled with Interest and Something New
Our Car the Hero of the Day-Pued
Motorist Out of Ditch.
By M. L. ELSASSER.

The Standard Eight has power, all
right. That is the chief character
istic that | shall associate with the
car after spending Wednesday with
it in Jersey.
When you take brand new car,
one that has been run only about 10
miles, and pit it against whole
road full of other cars which are
irving to pull a machine out of a
ditch, and your car pulls it out as
if it were a paperweight, you feel
pretty proud of your car, and have
real confidence in its strength.
That is what happened to us on
Wednesday. We were bowling along
lust at dusk, on the road between
Pompton Lake and Little Falls.
Ahead of us we saw the road
crowded with machines. One after
the other was trying to help a man
who had turned his car into a deep
ditch at the side Of the road.
Pulls Car out Of Ditch.
E. L. Kengla, from the Duffy
Motors Corporation, was driving the
Standard. 1t was not three minutes
after he had stopped and had tied
the tow rope to the car in the ditch
till it was up on the road and READY
to start.
We had started out in the morning
at 10 o'clock intending to so direct
to the Fort Lee ferry, but we had
an errand TO do away downtown on
Fulton Street before we could go out
in the country.
And, secretly, l do not believe that
Mr.. Kengla was loath to take US
down there, for he was so proud OF
the way his car acted in traffic. At
any rate, it was IL o'clock before we
were over in Fort Lee, headed for
Hackensack. We had decided TO
make Pompton Lake our objective
point.
on the Main Road.
Ont of Hackensack we got off the
main road. We wandered around
through perfectly beautiful back
woods and thrifty farms, finding
roads that were surprisingly good
for the small amount of traffic they
have and hooks delightfully."- charm
ing. There is always something SO
pleasant about little used roads and
unfreouented spots that you can
not but be glad that you have wan
dered.
When we struck Paterson we de-
cided to have lunch. We had been
making good time, and the ride mad
been restful, but the sun was not, SO
we were glad to rest for a while.
When we did start on we followed
the Passaic River. All along the
stream was filled with bathers and
canoists. The shade from the over
hanging trees made the waters an
ideal spot to spend a hot afternoon,
and it looked as if the whole town
were taking advantage of it. We were
only sorry that we couldn't take a
dip, too.
Good Road-Pretty Country.
The road to Little Falls was splen-
did. and all the while running
through pretty, quiet country. This
same good road wound on through
Singac and Wayne, affording US
every now and again an alluring
glimpse of the river. We sped on
through Pequannock and Riverdale,
and were soon at Pompton Lake. We
followed a narrow road that led us
right along the shore of the lake. A
prettier sight could not be imagined.
Nesting right in the heart of the
hills, the lake was clear, blue sheet
of glass. The fringes of trees that
