 mony with Good Tastes For the woman and to the man who are concerned in the purchase of a motor car for pleasures, Harry D. 1 Gates, manager of the Fairfield Auto ICo., Broad at John street, has mes-
 sa ge regarding the Hal-Twelve.
 A Word to the Woman.
 What a pleasure to have a new ma l chine for shopping, calling and the matinee.
 1 It's lines, finish and appointments
 must be in perfect harmony with your 1 ideas of good taste. So look careful
 ly Examine every inch of the body i of the car that is to be yours.
 If you have observed cars closely,
 undoubtedly you will admire very much the lines of the Hal Twelve.
 They are. as your eye can verify, a l year, perhe ps two years ahead of the l general trend from the standpoint of style. Note how long and unbroken they are. and how they give the car a low, smart look, decided appear ance of distinction.
 A Message to the Man. You are interested in what the car does. You love a car that performs. i Certainly the quickest and easiest , way for you to learn how the Hal car
 performs is to ride in the car for a | mile r two Probbly that short dis tance will tell you more than any des- cription can. For it is difficult to put the performance of such car as this into mere words.
 Two great mechanical reasons make the performance of the Hal car /, very wonderful.
 The first great reason is that the
 motor has 12 cylinders. Twelve ex- plosion chambers. Twice the impulses on the crankshaft delivered by six cylinder motor.
 The motorist of even limited exper- fence iss familiar with the, develop ment of the gasoline motor and has seen the various improvements which have resulted from the increase in the number of cylinders from one, two three and four, to six, eight and 12. He has likewise noted the>greater eff ficiency and comfort for the passen-
 gers effected by the decrease in the
 bore of the cylinder, and the increas- ed number of cylinders and the high CT speed of the motor.
 Cushions are really luxurious. Only very select hair and beautifully pol ished leather go into them. The part
 of the upholstery you can't see is real ly the most important part of all. The springs, and hair, concealed from t'vieM, determine the comfort of the car. Thinking again of the woman, we have paid the highest prices for the best steel springs and choice long hair. The average woman can prob ably ride a full day without feeling at all fatigued.
 Tacks are nowhere to be seem They are covered with a leather binding.
 There's no chance of tearing your skirt when you step inside the car. Your interest lies in the tonneau since you so seldom ride in the front compartment. You can get the most perfect impression by sitting in the rear seat and simply looking about you. Your eye rests first on a carpet of horse-hair, which experience in such matters tells you is quite ex- l pensive! You then observe that your foot is resting on we'll placed nickel ] led foot rest. There is convenient roberail Perhaps your eye travels, next, to the doors. They are neatly finished in the same good quality leather that prevails throughout the body. On examining the doors you find they contain pockets which are
 concealed behind leather flaps The
 auxiliary seats, too, are hidden be- hind flaps of leather. The back of the front seat is richly done in polish CT Circassian walnut.
 Madam. the men who build the Hal car believe in the quality idea. They. have spared nothing to produce car any woman may be pfoud to call her own.
 The s1nartness and elegance every where apparent in the lines and body of the Hal car are fitting counter part of the great motor which makes the car perform.
 For example, consider the. work of six, eight and twelve-cylidner motors of equal horse power. The bore of the first isn larger than the second, and that of the second larger than the third. The larger the bore, the more violent the explosion in the cylinder, but this greater power per cylinder is more than compensated for by the greater rapidity in the explosions of the motor with greater number of cylinders.
 The perfect smoothness of tha Hal car will probably be the very first feature to attract you.
 The second great reason for the wonderful performance of the Hal CaH has to do with the position of the valves. The motor is what is known as the valve-in-hea type. This is the most powerful type of gasoline motor yet devised. It is gen. orally admitted that the va1ve-in-head motor is 15 per cent. more efficient than either the L-or head type with the same bore and stroke. The req son for this is as simple as can be. The valves, are direc,.y In the top of the cylinders so that when the gas is sucked into the cylinders on the suction stroke of the piston it enters in a straight line. This eliminates the friction in an L. or T-head motor where the gas on entering must make right-angle turn. The. same, o4 course, holds true on the exhaust stroke of the piston when the explod- ed gas is forced out of the cylinders Eliminating this friction makes in- creased efficiency which means added power.
 Aviation motors are required to give maximum power with the least possible weight and they are valve in-head. All the best known and fastest racing motor cars have valve-
