Eight Cities Now
Are Entered for
Motor Car Contest
Run from Buffalo in July Is
Near to Limit of Teams
to Close Field
From Automobile

The entry list is nearly complete for
the three-day intercity team RELIABLE
ity motor car contest, which if present
plans hold will start out Of Buffalo on
July II and will finish there on July
10. C. G. Sinsabaugh Of this city has
received entries from Cleveland, Toledo
and Rochester. These bring the total
of entering cities to eight, as New York,
Chicago, indianapolis, Detroit and Buff
falo already are in. The limit of entry
is ten teams.
There naturally has been some ques-
ton as the effect of the war on the
holding of this run. Mr.. Sinsabaugh
said yesterday that nothing would be
decided definitely until July l. That is,
if the situation looks all right then,
the run will be held. II it appears
more fitting to call the run off, it Gait
be discontinued with plenty of notice

Tells Engineers
of Entz Electric
Transmission
Problem Old as Gasoline
Car Building Met by
1t, Says Coll

A paper of unusual technical inter-
est was read at the meeting of the Met
ropolitan Section of the Society of Au-
tomotive Engineers on Thursday even
ing at the Automobile Club of America
by Walter S. Coll, Of the General Elec-
trio Company. Mr.. Coll described in
detail the operation of the Entz trans
mission, which is used in the Owen
Magnetic automobile. Not unnaturally
Mr.. Coll was in favor of the Entz
transmission as against the gear type,
because the company with which he is
associated makes the units.
1t has been said by some engineers
that the gear transmission is the only
unmechanical part of the present day
motor car and it was TO undo that sit
uation that Mr.. Entz started the de-
velopment Of the uses of electricity.
From the day the first gasoline pro-
PEELED vehicle was built" said Mr.. Coll,
engineers have expended a great deal
of time and thought in an effort to
solve this problem, as the countless
patents on record in Washington at
test. All sorts of cone, disk and band
clutches, planetary and sliding gears,
not TO mention friction and hydraulic
transmissions, as well as pneumatic
and electric gear shifts have been de-
vised, none of which seems fully to
have met the ideal"
Mr.. Entz's contribution to the prob
lem makes use of the attractive force
set up between two magnets. A num-
Der of virtues are claimed for it in
automobile use, in addition to that of
case of control. II makes for gasolene
and tire economy, according TO those
who have had experience with Owen
cars.
At the meeting on Thursday night
were present G. r. Morrison, Frank W.
Roche, Van r. Whitall, L. S. Partridge,
r. NJ Owen, r. r. Owen, II. w. Slau-
son and Herbert Chase.

Road Work Causes
Detour Around
Upper Dobbs Ferry
Way Through Wappingers
Falls Is Being Repaired,
Too, at Last
ton of travel.

The stretch on the Albany Post
Road between upper Dobbs Ferry and
Irvington will not be available for
motor traffic for the whole of the
touring season, as excavating work is
going on there that will cause an up
heaval of the road surface. For those
who want to make the trip to east
shore points it will be necessary 20
hold to the right-hand road at the
church in Dobbs Ferry, where ordi-
narily the left road is taken, and TO
continue on to Elmsford. Then the
motorist turns left and takes the road
toward Tarrytown.
Welcome news to motorists is that
the road through Wappingers Fails
also is being repaved. This has been
in disgraceful condition for years. AS
part of the through road to Albany,
many motorists followed it, to have
themselves jolted about fiercely all
the way through the village. The
new paving will be of brick. II will
remove one very unpleasant feature
of the drive to Albany.
Observers report that the rest OF
the road to Albany along the east
bank of the Hudson is in good torr-
ing condition.
On the west shore the road is good
straight through, with the exception
Of the surface around Suffern and
Tuxedo. This Is rather rough and
worn. The road through from New
burgh to Highlands is in good shape,
according to one who has been over
it recently.
Incidentally. it is reported that
there has been slight slackening in
demand for touring information usu-
ally received at this time of the year
by motoring organizations. This
lessening of interest applies more
particularly to touring to coast points.
1t is clear that the war is having its
influence for the time being upon
motorists, and many of them are not
anxious to drive to points directly
upon the ocean at New England
points. The requests for information
on local touring conditions continue
to be active. 1t is believed that the
uncertainty will soon abate and that
motoring will go on about as before.

Mail Driver Gets Sentence

Motorists will be strongly with
Magistrate House in his handling of
the case of a mail truck driver before
him recently charged with reckless
driving. The man was sentenced to
five days imprisonment, the magistrate
saying:
Decent people have a strong feel
ing against the horrifying operation
of these trucks, which travel through
the streets like modern juggernauts.
The drivers are not connected with the
United States government, and private
contractors have no more right than
any other individual. The drivers
have mistaken idea about their
rights"

S. A. E. Works for
National Defence

A Washington Office of the Society of
Automotive Engineers will be opened
in connection with the Council of
National Defence as soon as arrange
ments can be made. The council has
expressed a willingness to have closer
assistance by the S. A. f. General
Manager Coker F. Clarkson or his
assistant, Herbert Chase, will proba-
bly, represent the society almost con-
tnuously in the Washington Office.
Furthermore, instead Of hohing the
summer meeting of the society four
days of the last week in June at OF
tawa Beach. Lake Michigan. it has
been voted to spend one day only on
the summer meeting and hold it in
Washington, on June 25. The broad

Limiting Motor Truck Weights

A new bill which vitality affects the
interests of motor truck users has
lust been. introduced at Albany by
AssembIyman Kasson which provides
limitations as to the maximum weight
per tire inch, the maximum wheel load
and other requirements affecting in
very radical way the use of motor
trucks on public highways. In some
respects these limitations are lar
below the weights permitted in other
states. Counsel for the Motor Truck
Cluh of America was assured by
Assemblyman Kasson that he would
hold up the bill pending further in
formation from the motor truck in
terests and it will probably undergo
satisfactory notifications.

A handy vulcanizing device. operated
by electricity from the storage bat
terry, is a moderate priced new Offering.
The vulcanizer consumes only about as
much current as a single headlight, IT
it stated by the makers. The device is
made up of clamp with screw ex-
tending through one arm and screvlng
down on fiat surface on the other.
On the inner end of this screw is the
heating mechanism. which heats a
round, fiat plate on the end of the
screw. The tube is prepared for vul-
canizing, and, after the patch is IN
place, is clamped between the two ma.
surfaces provided and the current
turned on. A good length Of cord
comes with the set and plug for
attachment to the socket in one Of the
headlights For Ford owners it is sal"
that running the engine at ordinary
speed will furnish sufficient current to
work the device well. The outfit sells
for $3.50.
