The Woods Dual Power car which was
unloaded yesterday by Emerson &
Orme is something entirely new In au-
tomobile circles of this city. 1t is
combined gasoline and electric vehicle,
with a four cylinder gasoline er gine cleo
tricaIly connected to an electric motor
and storage battery. II is. made in but
one model. an attractive combination of
characteristic gasoline and electric car
types. In the mechanism of the car
there are really but three units, irrespec-
tive of the drive shaft and rear axle
The gasoline motor is under the hood
Directly behind this is the electric motor,
unit in the same drive line. Under
the front seat is the storage battery
The connecting unit between the gaso-
line and electric motors Is in the form
of a magnetic clutch. When the gaso-
line control lever is raised about an inch
from full retard, the fywheel of the gas
motor becomes magnetized. The mag
netic force pulls a copper disk against
the face Of the iywheel and the electric
and gas motors are connected. On the
steering wheel are two levers located in
the conventional manner in which spark
and throttle levers are applied. To start
the car the operator either moves the
outside lever as he would to give gas or
releases the foot pedal, raises the same
lever slightly, removes his foot from
the foot pedal and glides away with the
smoothness characteristic of the electric
Acceleration is accomplished by moving
the hand lever up as desired. Driving on
electric power alone a speed of 20 miles
an hour can be attained. The gasoline
motor may be stopped by setting the
lever at full retard. The movement of
the pedal Is for opening and closing the
electric switch.

You showed good judgment in tint
ing the walls of the living room tan,
with cream ceiling and woodwork,
and If you desire to finish it again,
the same tones would be entirely APP
propriate. If you apply the tint gen.
erously, and fill the nail holes with
putty, allowing 1t to dry before paint
ing, the finished appearance may be-
improved. If you desire to use an
other color, decided yellow may
prove cheerful, and you will need .
cheerful color in room with north
ern exposure.
With either the tan or yellow walls
you may introduce bit of blue in
hangings if you wish, or you may
keep entirely to yellow tones.
If you can have new rugs, those
of modern rag" weave in plain blue
would be in harmony. If you desire
to keep to yellow tones, you may have
portieres and upholstery Of plain
golden brown or tan, and use a Gre
tonne with design showing yellow
and orange on cream background.

TOURING CAR USED IN
ARTILLERY PRACTICE

The use of motor trucks and ar
incurred automobiles has already been
demonstrated in actual warfare, but it
remained for the American troopers
now chasing Pancho Villa in Mexico,
or guarding the border, to demon
strate the feasibility Of putting or
binary touring cars to military use.
A. few days ago an Overland tour
ing car was driven north Of Columbus,
N. Mex, by United States artillery
men. A machine gun was mounted in
the tonneau and targets were fired at,
with the machine travelling and at a
standstill.
The test was reported to be very
successful. It was found that a tour
ing car was fully as logical and as
feasible as a truck for the purpose.
The demonstration proved that the vi
bration of q gun being fired does not
swerve the aim a particle. In fact,
the car is barely shaken. The objec-
ton to cramped quarters was also
conclusively dismissed when it was
shown that four men could ride COM
fortably in the car with the gun.
