Stewart Warner Sues
Alleged InfrinqerS

Suits have been filed in the@Cmted
safes district court of Chicago by
tnc Nt"wart-Warner Speedometer cor
Ion against the Sparks Whiting
tom company, Jackson, Mich, who
harc recently announced a vacuum
gasoline feed under the name Spar
tor. and the Heinze Electric COM
pany.. LowSll, Mass, introducers of
gasoline system known as the "Heco"
tank. These suits are based on the
Webb lay patents covering the Stew
art vacuum gasoline system, which
patents arc owned by the Stewart
Warner Speedometcr corporation, and
charge infringement OF those patent
rights.
The Stewsrt-Warncr Speedometer
corporation claims to be the exclusive
manufacturers of the vacuum system
Of gasoline feed. Since it incorpo-
rated the Stewart vacuum system
along with its other accessory prod
ucts. including Stewart speedometers,
warning signals, tire pumps and other
automobile parts, its success has been
sensational. 1t is generally credited
with being responsible for the mod
crn stream line effects in body design,
made possible by the placing OF the
gasoline tank at the rear OF the car.

Designing Models
OF Peerless Cars
Is Artistic Task

In any line OF artistic endeavor it
has been said that everything is a
compromise; the ideal of aim of the
artist must be made to conform with
other conditions, and this applies to
the beautiful models OF automobiles
now being shown at the big shows,
as well as to painted masterpieces.
The face Of a Madonna would not
appear to good advantage, no matter
how we'll it were portrayed, were it
not accompanied by correct back
ground. A. low, rakish chassis equip
ped with a body of the Victoria type
would be incongruous, in spite of any
high ideals OF its designer.
To become acquainted with the ar
tiStic work in connection with the
building Of motor car of beauty and
distinction, one might make a trip
through such factory as that of the
Peerless Motor Car company of
Cleveland, O., long leader in beauti-
full automobile offerings. There he
would discover the almost countless
items of labor and skill which 60 into
the making of that type of car.
1t is likely that he would first be
attracted by the models built in clay.
The average layman has very little
use for intricate lines Of blue print
he wants to see something more sub
stantal. After observing the clay
models he will find similar models
constructed on boards, but these are
by no means the finished product.
They arc only samples of what may
be expected when the body lines are
finally determined upon There is
much tearing down and remodeling
before the perfect car is produced.
And therein lies the secret OF artis-
tic compromise, which furnishes the
greatest reward for the efforts ex-
pended. The body model in itself NAV
be all that the most discriminating
buyer could wish, but that body must
be fitted into a chassis which must be
OF sufficient size and stability to war
rant carrying of that style of body. 1t
happens not frequently that the
chassis and body do not harmonic
and that the alteration of the chassis
to confirm with the body would de-
,troy the efficiency Of the product
In that case the designer must CON-
promise on the body lines. And the
most happy compromise furnishes the
most satisfactory results.

JACKSON EIGHT IS
AMERICAN DESIGN
Possesses Several Refinements
and Qualities Lacking in
European Models.
CAM TO EACH OF VALVES

Although the cght-cylindcr Worm
motor was first applied to automo-
bile use eleven years ago, the first
distinctly American type of eight
cylinder motor to be used is the
Ferro-l Jackson engine in the 1917
Jackson model, the wolverine
Eight" asserts H. A. Matthews, treas
urcr Of the Jackson Automobile COM
pany.
Most persons think that the eight
cylinder motor is only about ) years
old, and speaking from the standpoint
OF wide use in pleasure cars in this
country they arc right" says Mr.. Mat
thews.
This is natural, for the manu-
facturcr OF the first eight-cylinder
motor was French firm which, III
1906, after the acroplanc had demon
strated the possibilities of the
Eight built eight-cylinder motors
of the type that has since come into
wide use in America. Six cars zach
of the four, six and eight-cylinder
types were built and sent out on the
road for 10000 miles of experimental
work. Comparisons and tests were
made at the conclusion Of the expert
mcnts, by engineers, and their de-
cision was in favor Of the eight
cylinder models because Of their
>uoothness and freedom from vibra
ton. Since then this French manu-
lacturcr has built eight-cylinder
models exclusively. Various engineers
have declared that the eight-cylinder
type engine will be the ultimate choice
Of all the automobile industry outside
of the motor truck field. We believe
this is true; we are equally confident
that it will be the American "V' type
that will predominant.
an several important respects the
Fcrro- Jackson ~" type eight
cylinder motor differs from similar
motors OF European design, and
possesses refinement and qualities
which are notably lacking in the Euro
pcan models.
For example, the cylinders of the
Fcrro-. Jackson Eight are of the ~
head instead OF the az head construc-
ton, and are cast integral with the
case INSTEAD OF Ill separate oloCks do
in the European type. Valves are in
the cylinder heads instead of being
pocketed at the side as in the Euro
pean Nv" type construction, and
there is an individual cam to each
valve, while in the European type, the
valves on opposite cylinders are op-
Grated by a common cam. The crank
case Is integral with the cylinders in
stead of being of separate aluminium
cylinders as in the European build of
engines"

Beware OF the Stranger

During these times OF unsettled
conditions and because OF the NUM-
ber OF spies and enemies we have
within our borders II will be well
TO be careful as to the hospitality
you extend to strangers We have
at hand a letter Mrs. f S Prentiss
OF Grand View, received from her
sister in the east, telling of an ex-
perience a neighbor had with a
stranger in her home. The letter,
in part. says.
There is a man here in town by
the name OF Chas. Cattle and he
married Lennie Buck. one OF Bill
Bucks girls. Well. week before last
they were visiting his sister and
family at Hanston, Wisconsin. and
stopped at the nearest neighbors,
asking for something to eat. This
man said. Well come in and sit
down, for dinner is almost ready and
you can eat dinner with us. The
husband had some chores to do and
left the stranger sitting in the kitch-
en- and therew as a kettle of beans on
the stove and the woman was setting
the table in the dining room when
one of the little girls came to her
and said. Mother, that man went
to the stove and put something in
with the beans. | saw him uncover
the kettle and drop something into
them He went and sat down again.
The woman told her husband and be-
fore they sat down to the table he
went to his room and got his revoly-
er quietly and they all sat down to
dinner He passed the dish of beans
to the stranger. who said, No thanks
never eat beans. Well. by God
you will eat those beans he said and
pulled his revolver and the stranger
took them and ate them. dying with

CALL WILL SOON COME FOR
DRAFT OF 100000
War Department Expects to Have
Million and Half Men Under
Arms by October 10

Two million men in active service
and training camps by June 80, is the
plan of the war department. Anoth-
er draft of 100000 men this winter
is planned.
This became known today when
statements of Secretary Baker and
expert advisers before the recent
hearings of the house appropriations
committee were printed as a public
document
BY October 10, the department ex-
poets TO have 100000 under arms.
II sufficient equipment and ammunf-
tion for them can be provided, an
other draft will be recommended to
the president. All war department
estimates were asked by Secretary
Baker and granted by the committee
on the assumption that the president
will issue the call.
There are about a million men un-
der arms today, Eoldiers militia and
marines. When the first draft mo-
bilization is completed, there will be
100000 men. Another draft this
winter Will complete the two mil
lion men expected.
Heavy appropriations for machine
guns and rifles were allowed on the
plea OF shortsge in these munitions
by General Crozier, who declared
that failure to follow an adequate
program In the past had left the
country short on field artillery, ma
chine guns and rifles.
