perience and men OF none: boys

may be OF military age: men Of
soldierly physique, and men
whose civilian contours projected

would be difficult TO find any one
better informed TO write a brief
u history Of the evolution OF the au-
tomobile than is c. 6. Rleman, OF the
Elgin Motor Car corporation. Chicago
He has been connected with the au-
tomobiIe industry from It's inception
and has always owned an automobile
from the DAYS OF the "one lunger' up
Mr.. Rieman's first car, which more
resembled a thrashins machine than
an automobile, contained a popping one
cylinder engine Next. he purchased
a two lunger.~ then a four cylinder
car. etc Mr. Rieman gives US 4 few
historical facts in connection with the
early history OF the hOrseless carriage,
which are very interesting.
The first record we have of a vehicle
travelling without animal power is
found In the ancient Chinese records,
which give an account of the kite car
riages. These vehicles were driven by
the wind blowing against a sail at
tached to the carriage. In the early
reign Of king James I OF England, a
patent was issued to HUGO Upton. read
ing as follows: For the sole making
of an instrument which shall be driven
by the wind for the transportation or
carriage Of anything by land" Some
believe that Upton secured his idea
from kite carriages in old China.
Early steam Car age.
However, the history Of mechanically
driven carriages dates back to 1880
when Sir Isaac Newton proposed a
steam carriage TO be driven by the re-
active effect OF a jet OF steam issuing
from the nozzle at the rear Of the
vehicle.
Some years later. a crude carriage
was built. an early record Of which
reads as follows: Mr.. Pinchbeck has
recently built a curious steam machine
that has travelled without horses for
40 minutes and has covered a consider
able distance"
In 1883 there appeared an English
advertisement reading as follows -Mr
Ladd's patent four wheel carriage. that
goes without horses and will carry
four or five persons at the rate OF

ton
To Shorten Road To Fl PasO.
On December 20, the board of direc-
tors appointed a committee to cooper
ate with Alamogordo and Roswell in
the matter OF lettering the road TO
Fl PasO. It Is stated that the sands
along the railway line near Orosrande
may be avoided by Z road leading al
most directly south from AlamOgordo
TO HuecO Tanks and that the cost
would be slight. since the route ira
verses for the most part a gravelly
mesa.
The importance TO Fl Paso OF an air
line from St Louis, which Is the gate
way TO the region where automobiles
are the most numerous, can be readily
appreciated, and the fact that the
route is now open and traversed daily
should lead to its immediate sign
posting and TO a publicity that would
soon cause it to be one OF the most
popular routes in America" said Dr.
:. ". Johnson, of Ruidoso, one Of the
real good roads boosters OF New
Mexico.

famous.
The photo. which was taken in
Detroit u years ago. was at the
real start OF Barney's career as a
race driver and all the fame and
rIorv that Oldfield has gained can
be indirectly attributed to the most
famous Of the worlds automobile
manufacturers Since that time the
name Barney Oldfield has become
synonymous with speed in the mind
OF the layman and today Barney Is
