BATTLESnIP FROM
CADILLAC COMPANY
CRUISES IN SOUTH

There have been battleshipS and
battieships built on automobile CHASSIS
for motor parades; but ii remained for
the Cadillac dealer at Dallas, Texas,
to turn out a 40-soot craft, with funnel
belching. smoke, guns actually firing,
and the whole .ablaze with 2000 cleo
tric lights. -
Dallas recently had style show;
and the Munger Automobile Company
decided to do something ont of the or
binary. Using Cadillac, eight chassis
as foundation, replica of the nat.
tleship Texas was erected. Ii was
little more than 40-feet long, weighed
more than 5000 pounds and required
% storage batteries to furnish cur
rent for it's 1000 incandeScent bulbs
AS a. matter of course, the judges
OF the illuminated parade awarded
first prize to the Cadillac" that be-
ing the name of the battleship.
A single chassis was used, and four
men were required below decks to op,
crate the various apparatus. Dashing
waves were YeTV realistically painted
on the sides OF the ship, and when II
steamed" along the streets the effect
was very realistic. The two guns in
the forward tur:et were arranged that
they could be fired, anu kept up their
salutes throughout. the parade. BY
using crude oil in a blow torch, smoke
was caused to Jour from the funnel.
The battleship was replica Of the
great craft of the sea. 1t had turrets,
guns, j bridge, three searchlights, two
basket masts, and so on. At the for
ward end was a reproduction of the
L. s. Union Jack, the background
painted blue, with 48 blue electric
bulbs. Just afs of the second mast
was a large American nag with some
thing like 700 electric lights. The
ship" carried small boats and two
complete motor boats swung ON dayits.
To all appearances the tship. was
manned only by three figures on the
bridge-little boys dressed as sailors
but below.decks were the four men
referred to above. -
After the style show at Dallas the
ship sailed overland to Fort Worth
for the Fat Stock show, and there Gre
ated as much enthusiasm as it did in
Dallas, literally shooting up" the
town on the last night of the show.

STRIPES ON CROSSING -
GATES. TO WARK AUT0lSTS

THE speeding nsotorist," says q
safety first man, "can continue to flirt
with fate at the grade crossings; bat
his excuse that he did not see the
white bars of the safety gates will
lack the conviction that has caused
sympathetic inries to award damages
to his sorrowing relatives IN the past
"'The American Railways Associa-
ton is setting q new style for safety
gates at grade crossings. From now
on they will be striped in broad banis
Of black and white, painted lagoon
ally. This permits them to be seen
at nearly twf.e the distance of the old
style white gate and will undoubtedly
be the means of materially cutting
down the grade crossing death toll.
Railroads all over the country are
following the lead Of the Eastern rail-
roads in this respect, and many Of
them have also adopted the round tar
get hand signal in the place Of the
eld-fashioned flag. This is usually
made in the form of 16-inch white
disk on which the word STOP Is
printed in large black letters. Few
motorists fail to catch its meaning
and bring their cars to a quick halt
instead of trying to beat the train.
In one large iddle West state alone
there were, in 1915, IS deaths and 241
injuries at grade crossings. The fig.
ures for 1916 have not been completed
yet, but it is known that there were
considerably over 100 fatalities In this
same state. AS there will be more
autos than ever this spring, the value
of this new safety move is apparent"

Frequent Additions With Clean

You can abuse the engine of your

to the increase In speed. The relation
between generated pressure and speed
Is shown in a general way in Fig. 4.
Up to the point A on the curve there is

the magnetic flux at pole and the speed
are both increasing. From the point
