MOTORCYCLE CLUB NOT IN
FAVOR OF CARNIVAL RACE

At meeting of the Honolulu Mo-
torcycle Club yesterday it was voted
by the members that the club should
not sanction a race from Schofield to
Honolulu. during the Carnival 1t was
argued by most Of the members that
starting from Schofield at that hour
would be bound to give the riders a
chance for accidents.
Individual riders of the club may
enter, but the club has refused to
sanction the race, fearing accidents
which would give the organization a
black eye" in motorcycle circles. 1t
was suggested at the meeting that a
race be held around the island, with
riders leaving Honolulu one minute
apart. in order to prevent accidents.
The club has offered its services to as
sist the officers in patroling the
course, in case such a race was held
The club will hold its semi-monthly
run on Sunday, leaving the Capitol
grounds at s O'clock, and riding to
Kawainapas, near Waialua. There is
a good beach at this point, and bath
ing and other sports will be featured
A special meeting of the club will be
held next Wednesday evening. At
this time the members will discuss
the decorating of machines for the
Carnival parade.

INCREASED COST
OF TIREDUE TO
COTTON PRICES

In the past when growing costs de-
manded an increase In the price Of
tires and tubes. the customary usage
has been to sum up the total increase
in a general way and place an addi-
tional per cent on all prices. Under
the pressure OF the present war eondi-
tons it has been discernible for some
time that an advance in tire prices
would be inevitable, says s. s. Paxson
Of the Schuman Carriage Co.
The general impression has been
that the increased price OF rubber
alone was responsible, but in reality
il is the much heavier increase in cot
ton fabric that forces the greatest
change Consequently the Goodrich
Company in making its adjustment OF
prices has taken very different stand
in regard to tubes which contained no
fabric. than has been necessary in the
matter of outer castings. the foundation
OF which is cotton fabric. Goodrich
tubes in several instances in our new
adjustment show a decrease rather
than an increase. .. -...-..
During the past few seasons con-
struction changes to meet conditions
which applied to different sizes
brought into the production cost of
tires and out-of-balance condition so
that there has been an irregular price
schedule prevailing. Our new adjust.
ment of prices takes care of this and
our new schedules are uniform as re.
lating to cost. This adjustment is di.
rectly in line with the Goodrich com.
pany's policy. of fair list prices to con-
sumers.
In those sizes of tires where the
greatest quantity is made we have, of
course. been able to make a relative
ly lower list on account Of the great
volume involved, that we are, able to
do with the tires Of unusual size
where the volume is of course much
smaller and the cost per tire proper
tionately higher Supplementing our
fair list policy the Goodrich compa.
ny has broadened the scope Of its twin
policy of flair treatment" and as re-
Gently announced in the press, we are
now guaranteeing Goodrich tires to
give satisfaction to the user. We are
inviting all users who feel that any
Goodrich tire owes them anything to
bring back the tire. with the assur-
ance. that he will secure an adjustment
that will be entirely satisfactory to
himself. -. .x.-....... ].
OF" course the adoption of such
policy means that we would be heavy
losers at the end of the season If we
did not have a tire which will give
the service required of it by automo-
bile owners. and the fact that we are
offering this sort of a guarantee
proves that our tire is the best this
year that we have ever made.

WIDE INTEREST IN

stand out ahead of everything else in

"The American Automobile Associ-

ington state legislature"
From Maine P. ]. Deering, state
highway commissioner, asserts that
the Pine Tree state, particularly be-
cause of its large number of summer
road visitors, wants uniform regula-
tons such as he expects will be pro-
posed by the A. A. A. board. Incl
dentally, Mr. Deering is president Of
the Maine Automobile Association.
To the recent meeting of the A. A..
A. executive board came an invited
committee from the Society Of Auto
mobile Engineers, which has been at
work for some time on the subject Of
glaring headlights. While the engin-
GERS have not come to finally upon
all the details, their spokesman sup
piled Information which would seem
to assure a. complete answer in the
near future. -
In the matter Of right of way the
consensus of the meeting was in favor
of a system which would provide that
vehicle give way on the right or on
the left to an approaching vehicle,
eliminating any north-south versus
'east-west regulation or giving through
traffic on the main arteries the adyan-

traffic has precedence over that go

fORERUNNER OF
THE AUTODATES
BACK TO 1878

II would be difficult 10 find any one
better Informed to write brief his
tory OF the evolution Of the automo-
bile than Is c. s. Rieman. vice-presi-
dent and general manager Of the
Elgin Motor Car Corporation. Chi
cago. He has been, connected with the
automobile industry since its incep-
tion and has always owned an auto
mobile from the days Of the one
lunger" up. Mr. Rieman's first car.
which more resembled q thrashing
machine than an automobile. con-
tanned a popping one-cylinder engine,
Next he purchased a "two-lunger,
then a four-cylinder car, etc. Natur-
ally. he now explores the highway
IN his Elgin Six. c. s. Rieman gives
few historical facts in connection
with the early history of the horse
less carriage. -.
The first record we have of We
hicle travelling without animal power
is found IN the ancient Chinese re-
cords, which gives an account of the
kite carriages These vehicles were
driven by the wind blowing against a
sail attached 10 the carriage. In the
early reign OF King James ]. of Eng
land a patent was issued TO Hugo Up
ton, reading as follows: For the sole
making Of an instrument which shall
be driven by the wind for the trans
portation or carriage of anything by
land" Some believe that Upton Sc
cured HIS idea from kite carriages
in old China.
However, the history Of mechan-
ically driven carriages dates back to
1880 when Sir Isaac Newton proposed
a steam carriage to be driven by the
reactiye effect Of Jet of steam
issuing from the nozzle at the rear OF
the vehicle. Some years later, a
crude carriage was built. an early
record OF which reads as follows:
"Mr. Pinchbeck has recently built a
curious steam machine that has
travelled without horses for forty
minutes and covered a considerable
distance In 1859 there appeared an
English advertisement reading as fol-
lows: flfr. Ladd's patent four-wheel
carriage. that goes without horses and
will carry four or five persons at the
rate OF six miles an hour. is built on
solid mechanical principles" In 1902
Richard Tretithick built steam car
riage which was exhibited at London,
having driven itself 30 miles. In 1880
q horseless carriage named 'the Auto
motion was built by Walter Hand
cock. This was really the first steam
carriage that proved at all practical.
1t covered 1900 miles during its life
and carried a total of 1871 pas
sengers.
The first internal combustion engine
was invented by Abbe d'Hautefeuille
In 1878. in which the explosive power
OF gunpowder was employed to drive
q piston n cylinder. This was the
forerunner of the modern gasoline
engine. Some years later John Street
developed an engine operated by
liquid air limited by flame. The first
internal eombustion motor which used
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-02-10

gas was invented in 1884 by Gottlieb
DAIMLER. In 1885 he successfully ap-
piled this engine to bicycle, and in
1886 Carl Bentz invented his single
horizontal cylinder, water-jacketed
engine, which he applied to three
wheeled carriage. The first practical
gasoline automobile built in America
was constructed by c. E. Duryea in
1892, but it was found to be under
powered.
In 1894 he built new four-cyl-
jnder car which proved quite success
full in the Chicago Times-Herald race.
The first automobile endurance race
of international Importance was held
in France in 1894. Two oPanhard ma
chimes contested. Both claimed a 3.5
horsepower, and were driven by
Messrs. Panhard and Peugeot In 1895
the second automobile endurance race
was held in France. and covered
distance of 1870 miles at the then re-
markable average speed of fifteen
miles per hour. Six years later, how
ever, the same course was covered at
the rate of so miles per hour. In 1897
at the Paris-TrouviIle road race a
speed of 20 miles an hour was devel-
oped in gasoline automobile. What
difference today Not long ago a.
300-horse-power car raced at a terrific
speed of 143 miles an hour. Even
pleasure cars easily run off so miles
an hour.
