about completed arrangements for the
transfer of their stock to the Bethle-
hem Steel Company.

day took over the active management

in this car, giving a limousine effect.
Saxon
A number of important changes both
in the bodies and mechanically, make
the new Saxon considerably improved
cars. The Saxon four has been brought
up to the demands of the public for
fully equipped cars by supplying it with
full electric equipment including n
two-unit Wagner starting and lighting
system, an electric horn and a speed
ometer. The Six is also a much better
appearing car than its predecessor, the
improvement being largely in the alter
alton of the body lines.
Studebnker
Studebaker is continuing its four and
six standardized models with several
minor changes. Better engine perform
ance has been secured this year by the
reduction of 1874 per cent. on the
weight of the reciprocating parts. From
n manufacturing standpoint, the Stude-
baker cars are interesting, because of
their Standardization. The two power
plants are exactly alike in design, eX-
cept that one is a four and the other
is a six. 1t will be remembered that
these cars were redesigned for the 1916
season to secure this Standardization
and also to bring the product up to
date. This plan has worked out sue
cessfully, as is evidenced by the few
changes that it has been found neces-
sary to make during the year.
Stutz
To this company belongs the honor of
placing the first sixteen valve engine
on the market. The engine is Wis
consin and of T head formation, there
being two valves on each side of the
cylinder and, of course, two cam
shafts.
Almost identically the same two Skies
change being that the small Six. is
again characterized by an extreme SIM
piicity equipped with Timken axles.
Velie is of chassis, being among the
earliest to use Hotchkiss drive and the
straight tapered frame. There are a
number of new body types for the small
Six, several of these being of a mark
edly distinctive character.
WiIIys-Knight
Except for certain notifications in
the body. which is much handsomer in
outline and considerably better finish
ed, the only change in the WHY'S
Knight Four is the substitution of Con-
necticut battery ignition for the mag
neto. The eight-cylinder Knight model
isl the feature of the WHY'S Overland
list. The new Knight is in reality
nothing radical. Ordinary knight prac-
tice is incorporated in the V-block,
which has proven so successful in the
last three years in poppet design. The
eight cylinders are cast in two blocks
of four and have bore and stroke di-
mensions

STATE POULTRY
AGENT IS HERE

The state poultry agent, Miss Min
ME Floyd, arrived in Pensacola yes
terday morning to assist Miss Lonny
Landrum, the county agent, in COM
pleting the organization of the poul-
try clubs in Escambia county.
Escambia is one of the seven coun-
ties of the state in which this work
has been introduced, and it is gaining
much Roadway, many community
clubs having been organized.
Miss Floyd came to Escambia some
months ago, outlining the plan and
starting the work, since that time,
Miss Landrum has continued the work
with excellent results.
The clubs are organized with the
Canning Clubs where possible, one
set of officers for both of them. In
this manner much time is saved as it
is then necessary to hold only one
meeting while otherwise two would be
necessary.
