SIGNIFICANCE IS
ATTACHED TO BIG
FACTORY LEASE
Ask if There Will Be Big Merger
Between Chalmers and Max
well Motor Car Companies

Much significance is attached to the
leasing of the Chalmers plant by the
Maxwell Motor Co, for five years, by
motor car dealers and leaders in the
industry. Is there to be another
merger of leading automobile manu-
facturers? ..
Chalmers production will not be af.
fected in any way by the lease, &C.
cording to announcements from the
Chalmers factory. Maxwell business
will continue as heretofore But the
negotiations are believed by many to
presage the formation in the near flu
ture of merger of several of the
leading automobile production corpor-
atoms in the medium price class.
One of the reasons why the lease
is believed to be significant of the
merger move is that it is known in the
industry that the same banking in.
terests control both institutions, and
that there was no difficulty whatever
In negotiating the lease of the Chal-
mers plant by the Maxwell corpora.
ton. 49,. j.
Another reason why the move is
considered significant is the fact that,
while railway corporations frequently
have negotiated leases Of this kind,
which ultimately resulted in mergers.
this is the first time it has ever been
done by two large corporations in the
automobile industry.
II is believed that the first move
under the new arrangement will be
the introduction to the public of a
small, six-cylinder car In the $1,000
class, built in the Chalmers factory
and presented to the trade under the
Chalmers name, the Chalmers Co. con-
tinuing their present models as their
leading product. ~.
The fact that the local Chalmers
representative recently obtained the
wholesale distribution of the Maxwell
in this territory is also believed by
local members of the trade to indicate
an ultimate combination Of these two
companies. .:...

Are Preparing

Success of Women of Y. w.
l.. A. Auto Class Will Decide
Feasibility of Plan

Are women really capable of TAX.
ing the place Of men as automobile
drivers and mechanics?
This question is uppermost in the
minds OF the directors and followers
Eof the class in automobile operation
and construction for II women which
the Y. NJ. C. A. has organized and
which is being taught by j. A. NJ.
Johnson of the Schuman Carriage Co.
The first lesson was given last Sat
urday at the Y. w. c. A. homestead
and the second lesson is being given
today.
Il am surprised at the rapidity with
which the students are taking up the
work and especially pleased with the
unusual enthusiasm shown by them.
Certainly if that counts for a great
deal in their success in the work, they
will be wonders" declares Mr.. John.
son.
While the class was originally Or
ganized at the Y. w. C.. A. to give
the women of Honolulu an opportuni-
ty to preparS themselves to take the
places of men in the automobile in.
dustry when the latter are called into
the service Of the country, it is very
much in the nature of an experiment,
for the women have yet to prove them.
selves capable of this substitution
with all the training they are going
to get.
AS yet there is no prospect of the
immediate organization of another
class in spite of the increasing de-
mands for this sort of training. But
If the first class is a success another
will undoubtedly be started.

Last of City's
Fire Horses To
Be SHIELDED Soon
King Gasoline for Motive Power
SuppIanting Old Time
Chargers

The death knell of the fire horse
mas been sounded, and before long
the last OF the horse-drawn fire APP
paratus will have been put in the dis
card. Fire Chief Thurston is endeav-
oring to supplant the old out OF date
horse-drawn apparatus with modern
motor propelled trucks. and accord
ingly put his proposition up to the
beard of supervisors Tuesday evening.
Chief Thurston wants two new
pieces of apparatus, both to be driven
by gasoline power. He prefers the
Seagrave engines, and these will prob
ably be selected. A combination
pumping engine and hose apparatus
and a combination chemical and hose
truck are the two new sets he has
asked for. If these two new trucks
are purchased, five horses will be dis
carded and the Honolulu fire depart
ment will be entirely motor driven
force.
The cost of the new pieces will be
insignificant compared to the pres
ent cost of maintaining the five horses
at the present price Of feed. Be-
sides, motor cars are far more reliable
than horses and, cover the ground
ten times as fast, to quote the fire
chief. By placing all motor driven
apparatus in the department, better
protection is afforded the property
owners, because more apparatus can
De concentrated at the central sta
ton and be able to respond to subur-
ban alarms.
At present the department has eight
pieces of apparatus. One horse
drawn steamer Is located at head
quarters, as Is one horse driven hose
cart, and one motor engine. Two no
tor trucks are located at the Palama
station, two motor trucks at the Ma
kiki station, and one motor piece at
Kaimuki. Three Of the city's pumping
engines are motor driven, the other
one being an obsolete type of steamer
Honolulu already has first class
fire fighting force, and most of its
Equipment is thoroughly modern, but
if the supervisors grant the chiefs re-
quest, and order the two motor driven
the force will rank with
any on the mainland. 1t is for all
property owners in Honolulu to inter.
est themselves in this matter, and
see that the supervisors set about or
deTing the new trucks.

previously was Western representa-
tive OF the great factory. Up until the
time of his marriage several years ago
he drove racing cars, but the wedding
was the occasion for his retirement
from the dangerous sport and bust
ness.
Automobile racing is by no means
dying as may have been reported"
says Mr.. Showers. However. it has
assumed a very different aspect than
it had some years ago. At the incep-
ton of the sport the cars and the driv-
ers were backed by the makers OF the
automobiles. The cars were furnished
by the factories and the drivers were
hired, usually regularly to engage in
this business for the company
Now the fast drivers own their
own cars and drive in these races for
what money there is in them. The
sport is professional, for the drivers
are in it for what money they can
make.
The larger factories do not employ
this means of advertising any longer
as they did once upon a time They
can advertise more successfully other
wise, and. what is of greater signifi-
canoe, they have reached the stage
where they do not need to advertise
their business in that manner.
The factories nowadays are con-
tinually working up stunts of 81 diff,
ferent varieties for advertisement.
You see them performed all the time"
Another change in automobile rae.
ing has been brought about through
the construction of faster cars, accord
ing to Mr.. Showers. Whereas, in 1902
when he first began to drive fast cars
for the Lozier factory. they regarded
a mile minute as fast time. Toda7
