Just what effect war and our own

TUNNELS FOR AUTO TRUCKS
Underground Traffic Lane Suggest
ed for conaested District.

THE Chicago business world should
awake to a realization of the awful
traffic congestion in the loop" says
w. o. Duntley, in the current issue OF
the Power Wagon. I'VE all recognize
that conditions are bad and rapidly
becoming worse, although practical
suggestions for relief are scarce.
have one method OF relief to suggest,
however, which 1 think we will have
to come to eventually, so why not
now?
Chicago should have at least two
tunnels under the Chicago river, one
leading to the west side and one to
the north side, devoted exclusively to
the use of motor trucks. We do not
have enough bridges to accommodate
the traffic, and although the proposed
new bridges will help, they will be
but a drop in the bucket
Traffic is held up now from one
to thirty minutes at a time during
rush spells waiting for a chance to
cross the river, and this loss of time
is costing the business interests of
Chicago. many thouands OF dollars an
nually through wasted time. But bad
as 1t is in the winter, 1t will be many
times worse when river traffic opens
up and the bridges are raised to let
boats pass. II tunnels were provided,
large enough to accommodate motor
trucks going in each direction, they
would relieve the bridges Of the big
motor truck traffic and leave
them free for lighter vehicles"

SONORA ALLOWS
AUTOS FREE ENTRY
Mexican State Admits More
Than 400 Motor Cars
in Month.

r. p. De Negri, charge d'affaires OF
the Mexican embassy, has received
the following report from the Mexi-
can consul at Nogales, Ariz.:
"The importation, free of import
duties, has already been secured for
more than 400 more automobiles,
which will enter Mexico at the end of
this month. The state OF Sonora is
the first in using autos for the distri-
button OF mail in different districts
where there is no railroad communi.
cation. The prosperity and advance
ment Of the state is surprising. SaIu-
tations, J.H. DELGADO."
This is the result of efforts, not
long ago, on the part of Gen. Plutareo
Elias Gales, sanctioned by President
elect Carranza, whereby the secretary
or the treasury of Mexico issued a
permit for the importation OF ali
classes OF automobiles free of customs
duties, with the simple Conditions that
Iii each case there should be a consul
lar invoice.
From the beginning there was
great demand for these vehicles. The
entire state Of Sonora has. been BEN
ented thereby, as requests have come
FOR automobiles froM every part
thereof, and even from neighborInR
states. especially from Sinaloa-from
firms, private persons,
and mining and agricultural enter
prises.
Up to the date of Mr.. Delgado's
375 automobiles had
been sent through the customhouse
under the terms of the permit, and
400 more were to follow. As there
were many more requests submitted,
effort vas made, through the same
channels, to have the time for impor-
tation free Of duty extended for sixty
days more, which has been done.

EXPLAINS USE OF,
OILN STEAM CAR
Why DobIe Will Run Eight to
Twelve Thousand Miles on
Single Gallon.

Our statement that the Doble
steam car will run 5000 to 10000
miles on one gallon of lubricating oil
appears. to require an explanation
about every time It is made" said Alb
ner Doble. Fortunately the reasons
are simple and easily understood.
Briefly put they are-the oil is
not burned by high Temperatures, nor
Is 1t subject to contamination. In the
majority of motor cars considerable
'oil leaves the crankcase as vapor, due
to its having come In contact with the
lower piston walls. The oil which re-
mains in the crankcase of an internal
combustion motor becomes quite rap
IDLY contaminated by gasolene, car
bon and 'road-dust' working past the
piston rings. That Is why the instruc-
tion books advise such frequent
changes Of the crankcase oil.
"In our steam car we exactly re-
verse these conditions; the oil is
never heated to a sufficiently high
temperature to bun II, and Is com
pletely isolated from the products of
combustion. The fabrication of the
cylinder walls and valves is accom-
pllshed almost entirely by the mois-
ture present in the saturated steam
used In the engine: consequently we
use very little oil in the water or
steam, and instead OF the heavy oil |
formerly used In steam cars we use q
light gas engine cylinder oil. This
oil IL too thin, especially when n IA
heated, to clog any radiator or boiler |
passages, and the velocity Of the
water passing through the lower
headers OF the steam generator Is too |
nigh to permit any oil to collect,
where II might increase the liability |
of burning the heating surface.
The chief function OF this oil is
10 prevent scale from encrustinE the |
generator tubing, and that II does
this most effectually Is one of the |
,acts which we positively proved in |
irving my old car over forty-nye |
thousand miles"

FRAME RIGIDITY
FEATURE OF CAR
New Marion-HandIey Models
Distinguished for Lightness
and Ample Power.

Light weight, with ample power,
yet effective distribution of units,
mark the new Marion-HandIey
models.
With 5000 pounds total weight there
is less than 100 pounds per Ihit of
horsepower, rating the engine under
the S. A. E. formula, while the sctuaI
weight per horsepower developed on
lhe road. at averages of goUd tour
ing speed, is but fifty-eight pounds.
Weight saving has not been effect
ed at the cost of any part of the
chassis. The frame is rigid, built
nth a vertical section OF FIVE and one
half inches and a horizontal section
two and one-half inches wide. The
hrm establishment of the side mem
bers at extreme front and rear ends
eliminates any tendency on the part
OF the car to sway and whip the ends
Of the frame, by the introduction of
front crpss-member' of the inverted
channel type four and one half inches
in width. This last mentioned cross
member is Joined to the side rails
with large gusset plates, giving a
broad union. The rear cross-member
is tubular, one and seven-eighths
inches in diameter, and placed at the
extreme rear end of the frame.
In addition there is q middle cross
member seven inches wide, also Sc
cured to the side rails by ample gus
set plates.
Additional features Of the new cars
are many, but particularly there is
the Fabroil cam gear, much favored
for silence of operation; double-bulb
headlights multiple eleven-disc clutch,
Hotchkiss drive, detachable instru-
ment board, Westinghouse ignition,
and generator system.
The roadster seating ARRANGEMENT
the new roadster has just arrived
at the Connecticut avenue salesrooms
has unusual leg room and body COM
fort. The drivers seat Is fifteen |
inches forward, admitting plenty of |
room for the two passengers who may
with ease occupy the seat back of |

beside him which folds against the |
dash.
