DOBLE STEAMER
INTERESTING
New Type Car Is Shown
or Fourth Floor of
the Palace

The winter shows bring out new
cars and new models Of old cars, but
seldom one as strikingly original as
the Dobls steam car, which is on the
fourth floor of the Grand Central
Palace. It is radical departure from
former steam automobile design.
In appearance the Doble resembles
a gasolene car. but there the resem-
blance ceases. The number Of moving
parts in the engine has been reduced
TO eleven. and there are only twenty
four in the entire car.
The valves and pumps to be operated
by the driver of former steamers have
been eliminated in the Doble design,
and the control of the water supply
and steam pressure is automatic. The
substitution of electric ignition for
the pilot light is novel. With this
form of ignition and the combustion
system and generator invented by Mr..
Doble, the time required for starting
with everything cold has been reduced
TO one minute or less. This is espe-
oially striking, as kerosene is the only
fuel used.
The mileage obtained to the gallon
Of kerosene is said to be fifteen; ap-
proXimately one thousand miles may
be travelled on one supply Of water,
and each gallon of lubricating oil is
sufficient for eight 10 twelve thousand
miles.
Contrary to all former steam prac,
tice, Mr. DOble maintains a thin film
of oil throughout his generator tub
ing, and a three years test has proved
that in this way the steam generator
may be kept entirely free from scale
or rust.
Employing only thin oil has made
possible the use Of honeycomb
radiator, and this in turn has made it
possible, under normal running con-
ditions, to condense the exhaust steam
and thus obtain the mileage on water
given above.
The General Engineering Company
is now using six cars for show and
demonstrating purposes. They are
identical in respect to their chassis,
but the bodies are all custom built.
Plans for production are under way,
and Doble steam cars will soon be on
the market at a price approximating
$1,000.
Abner Doble, who designed the
Doble steam car, spent nine years in
developing the automobile which bears
his name. His work began in San
Francisco in 1906. lie had his tech
meal education in San Francisco and
at Boston Tech, and put in four years
of work in the Pelton Water Wheel
Company in installing large hydro
electric generators.
From 1906 until 1912 ! expert
mented and built several cars, but IL
was not until 1913 that l made my
first big step ahead said Mr.. Doble.
81 knew that the steam must be con-
densed in order to get sufficient mile
age on one supply of water, and TO do

"The obvious objection was that the
heavy oil used in steam engines would
clog the small radiator passages, and
would probably collect in the boiler.
So | tried the combination of a fire,
tube boiler, a honeycomb radiator, and
ordinary, thin oil. 1t succeeded
beyond my hopes. The car ran one

SEES TREND TO
SIX-CYLINDERS
Overhead Valves, Too, Fa-
vored by President of
Oakland Motor Car Co.
By F. w. WARNER


From the many different changes
that have taken place in the automo--
bile industry, changes of general
trend, il seems to me that one Of the
most significant Developments of the
last year is the general trend OF pub
lie favor toward the six-cylinder
motor.
| consider it has been pretty con-
clusively demonstrated that the six Is
the motor which combines economy
with fexibility and power. More and
more motorists are coming TO seek the
six as against the four, and the vast
majority of them being persons OF
moderate means, they have found the
combination in the six, which permits
them to have n flexible, powerful car,
with moderate up-keep cost.
| believe that the future will see the
overhead valve system in six-cyllnder
motors universally adopted by motor
car companies There is no doubt that
this gives better economy and better
service. The industry to-day is lean
ing toward the light weight, medium
sized car with a siX-cylinder overhead
valve motor. 49,,
During the last year the automobile
industry has enjoyed a prosperity that
has been measured only by the manu-
facturer's ability to make enough cars
for the demand. There have been
those who believe that this gigantic
demand for motor cars is an inflated
condition which will not last. do
not agree with them. People are pur-
chasing motor cars to-day, not because
they have more money than they know
what to do with, but because they nave
found that motor car is not lux
ury but necessity. 80,
[ believe that the coming year Will
be Just rs prosperous in the motor car
industry. The big increase in OAK
land production schedule from $4,000
to nearly 10000 cars, and the fact THAI
dealers have contracted for this entire
output, gives further Endorsement OF
that same opinion by men whose nm
gers are intimately on the pulse OF tho
buyine public. No necessity is abso-
lutely dependent upon prosperity and
the motor car is now necessity.

BELIEVES TN
FOUR CYLINDERS
Maker of Mercer Cars
Talks of Their High
Efficiency Factor
BY WILLIAM T. WHITE
President and General Manager Mercer
Automobile Company

In spite Of the multi-eylinder de-
vslopment Of the past TWO years-hrst
the eight and then the twelve cylinder
motor-there has been a decided
tendency during the past few months
looking toward the greater develop
ment of four-cylinder cars Of extreme
efficiency.
Engineers OF. repute in both this
country and Europe frankly admit that
the four-cylinder engine has more pos
sibilities in the way Of development
and improvement than any other type
of motor. There are not a few who
have expressed emphatically as their
belief that six, eight and twelve cylin-
der motors have all been developed
more nearly TO their ultimate possibili-
\ ties than has the four-cylinder motor.
The Mercer company has always
maintained that more real common
sense progress is possible in the design
and development Of four-cylinder
motor than any other type. The
Mercer motor Of to-day Is the result
OF the well-founded policy of building
what our judgment told US was right
and sticking TO II. We have never
allowed fads. fancies or mechanical
features Of the selling point variety
70 sway us from the courage Of our
convictions. Satisfactory performance
from every point Of view should be the
standard by which cars are judged.
recent issue Of "The Automobile"
contained a comparison Of the power
curves Of various types of motors, and
the four-cyliudcr Mercer motor showed
that il had a higher power outpt
Throughout a wide percentage range Of
speed than any other stock motor built
As il has been proved that it is pos
sible to produce greater motor eff
cheney and as good or better car per
Torrance with a four-cylinder motor.
at the same time giving simplicity and
eompactness Of mechanism, We are
more firmly convinced than ever that
the four-cylinder car will be the pre-
eminent car of the future.

People who haze shaken their heads

President Wilson said in his address
on good roads at Indianapolis, you
cannot know what the resources OF the
country are unless the country is Gov
cred over with network OF roads
which will release all the locked-up
riches Of all countrysides." Those OF
us who have been connected with sales

ten years know that this statement Is
true. We know that vast stretches or
territory practically isolated by lack

Perhaps not one motorist in hfty

highways. Railroads pushed into vir-
gin territory, cities spranS up along
the right OF way, but the rural arteries
Of travel remained in the same hope
less condition as when the pioneers
ploughed through them sfoot or on
horseback.
With the first motor cars came the
first feeble impulse to the good roads
movement. The first cars were sold
to city men, who very quickly tound
out that where city payements ended
there ended all hopes of further travel.
Pneumatic tires availed nothing against
trackless stretches of gumbo mud or
corduroy roads. With the mechanical
improvements in motor ears the owner
chafed at his limitations and dema1oed
better state roads. Many states have
been active toward promoting their

TO REPRODUCE NEW
JERUSALEM Church
Stone in Structure TO be
Used and Architectural
Appearance Saved
PRESENT EDIFICE TO
BE RAZED SHORTLY

Plans are being made by the Rev.
George Henry Dole, the pastor, AMI
other officials Of the Church of the New
Jerusalem, which has stood at Delaware
avenue and Washington street for NOR,
than halt century, for tearing 1t dowr
in the near future. The church pfoperty )
was recently purchased by private iudf
viduals to enable tho city TO carry out
the plan Of widening Delaware avenue.
Mr.. Dole, in discussing the tearing
down OF the church building this
morning, stated that the work would
be started as soon as n lot to rebuild
on is assured. This old church is
pointed out as one OF the best ex-
ample of the gothic architectural
scheme in this section. officials OF
the church are anxious TO maintain
the present architectural appearance
of the building in the proposed new
structure and will do so as far as pos
sible.
II is proposed in razing the build
ing TO take Il down stone at a time.
and what stone remains sound will
be used i'm the new church Mr Dole
stated this morning that while some
Of the stone is now soft, most OF the
Brandywine granite in tho building
is as good as when the church was
built and will be used in the new
structure
The architectural scheme OF the
present building is to be carried out
in the erection of the new church
even as to the shape Of the struc-
ture.
