erted their artistic talents to devise
lines of grace, harmony and beauty.
New ideas are constantly being en-
ployed to attain these qualities. The
Paige enclosed cars this year, for ex-
ample, have the pointed sloping wind
shield that gives a final touch of ele-
gance and distinction.
"Sedans and coupes should be gen.
eral service cars that can be used
any time of day, any time of yea" For
that reason manufactures have striven
to perfect the convertible type of body,
so that the car may be open to the
pleasant breezes or closed against cold
and rain. The Paige 'SiX-51' sedan
and coupe and the 'Six-39' sedan illus
trate this. With remarkable speed
they can be converted to wide open
bodies. Nothing in the way of
special tool is necessary or even any
mechanical knowledge; nor need any
time be wasted in taking the car to
thd garage or service station. All the
side windows of the 'SiX-46' sedan, i'm
cludlng the door windows. slide in felt
channels, being operated by convenient
handles. The windows are of French
plate glass, supplied with silk shades,
in harmony with the upholstery. There
the comfort and luxury of these cars,
that would make the motorist of a few
years ago marvel as much as he did
then over the self-starter or some
other mechanical device"

nave been made. In the first places
the touring body has been increased
in size and now, instead of being a
six-passenger car, it has full seven
passenger capacity. Although the im-
provements are numerous for the COM
ing year, the same general chassis
layout on the 12S-inch wheelbase will
be adhered to.
Probably the most notable change
on the new National Highway six-
cylinder car is the new body design.
Although the chassis is the same
length. the new body is three inches
longer. 1t has center cowl and there
is an aisle between the front seats. In
the tonneau under the center cowI
are two locked package compartments.
The front seats are larger in every di-
mension, and there also is more room
in the drivers compartment. The body
is wider than in the former series. and
there is more carrying capacity under
each of the three seats. In addition
there is a tool compartment in the
left 'front.' door, as on former models
The new National Highway Six cars
are furnished in five different body
styles. In addition to the seven-pas-
senger touring car there are a four
passenger sport" phaeton, four-pas-
senger roadster, all-weather touring
Sedan and four-passenger coupe. In
the open models there is a new de-
sign of side curtains. and these are
fitted with doors, thus giving a closed
car effect, which is very useful in
rainy weather.
Another feature OF convenience is
that the gasoline tank filler has been
moved over to the right side near the
right fender. 1t now is provided with
hinged cover, held in place by a. wing
nut. This gasoline tank cover cap is
easier to open than the old one. and
being hinged, it is impossible to lose
1t.
A change which alters the appear
ance of the car somewhat from the
older model National is that the radia-
tor has been altered so that it is now
two inches narrower and two inches
higher than before. This gives pro-~
portionately higher hood and has ne
cessitated slight change in the Ma
tional radiator emblem. as far as size
goes.

Silvertown Tires Help Resta
Win 1916 Championship

Official confirmation of the winning
of the national automobile racing
championship by the Anglo Italian
with the opening of the Automobile
Show in "a letter from Chairman
Richard Kennerdell of the Contest
Board of the American Automobile
association.
THE $50 mile race conducted at AS
cot Speedway, Los Angeles, was the
last event counted in the A. A. A. 1916
championship award the letter reads.
You Will note on the inclosed
sheet giving the standing of the driv-
ers, that Mr.. Dario Resta is first with
a total of 400 points; Mr.. John Ait
kin, second, with a total of 3,440
third, with a total of 2.910 points.
THE title 1916 Champion will be
officially awarded to Mr.. Resta at a
dinner to be given under the auspices
of the Chicago Automobile club"
In assigning the championship
points, Richard Kennerdell took into
consideration the distance and class
OF entries. On this basis first place in
three of the four 300-mile events was
worth 900 points.
Tho value of the Tacoma victory,
however, was reduced to 500 points.
because the field was not so talented
as those in Indianapolis, Chicago and
Cincinnati.
In the 250-mile contest 500 points
was awarded the winner: in the 150-
mile race, 500 points; in the 100-mile
contest, 500 points.
In the road races the winner of
the Vanderbilt cup received 900 points.
The Grand prize at Santa Monica
was valued at | 900 points. But on ac-
count of tho Interchange of drivers
in the race, only 422 points were ac-
credited to Wilcox whose Peugeot
won first money.
OF the grand total OF 22,720 points
accredited to drivers toward the A.
A. A. trophy, Silvertown took 15,4S2
points to 1888 by the other competi-
tors combined.
The next five drivers-Aitken. Rick
enbacher, De Palma, Cooper, D'Alene
scored 6,S55 of their points on Sill
vertowns to 1850 on other makes of
tires combined.
Silvertown- equipped cars won more
than eighty per cent of the prize

They took more than $4,000 in prize

The Willys-overland Company was

sued with double energy.
An Eight" was built and given a
thorough test. At the Overland Deal

MAXWELL HOLDS RECORD

The Maxwell is not without honor
in its own land, for right in the hub
of automobile producing, Detroit and
southern Michigan, a Maxwell touring
car took to the gravel roads of the
Wolverine State last November, and,
with Ray Mcnamara at the wheel and
carrying four passengers in all, estab-
lished a reliability and durability
record that so far has not been closely
approached by others who have sought
to better it. Due to early fall rains
the roads were in some places almost
impossible when the run was made,
but despite this the car went from
Detroit to Grand Rapids and Kalama-
zoo and back a total of $50 miles, in
nine hours and forty-five minutes.
The average speed was 35.9 miles per
hour. A challenge for competition
run had been made in behalf of the
Maxwell. No one, accepted, so the

E. L. Cowden, Local Distribu-

Enclosed Cars

"The various styles of motor cars
with inclosed bodies are the natural de-
velopment of an Industry that has
passed its elementary stage" said E.
l. Cowden, local distributor of the

cal operation of the cars certain re-

plicity and flexibility were more inn
portant than refinements and a higher
degree of comfort and luxury. Conse-
quently designers and builders concen-
trated their attention on such matters
and pursued their mechanical problems
until they had them solved.
THE result was that the all-year-
around car became the outgrowth of
q later or secondary period of Develop

motorists either put their cars up for

is that the car owner now enjoys de-

WILLYS ATTAINS
GREAT AMBITION
Offers Complete Line, All
Made in His Own Plant;
Wide Range of Prices

For years 1t has been the ambition
of Mr.. John N. WHY'S to market a
complete line of cars-from automo-
biles that emphasize economy without
sacrificing quality to the very highest
type of cars in the luxurious class.
The automobiles he has just placed on
the market, several of which are being
displayed in the local Auto Show, are
a realization of this aim, according to
Carl Hansen, of the Overland Harris
burg Co. In the line there is q car
for every purpose at every price.
In fact, the entire line is so complete
that but a partial showing could be
made at the show.
The automobile trade divides itself
into three sections-the buyer in, the
$3.50 class or less; the purchaser who
that, the $1,000 class, and last of all,
the class that has plenty of money to
spend for cars over and above a thou

Soft, deep cushions, large four-inch

this car exceptional riding qualities.

sation since its announcement a short
time ago, is also constructed on this
chassis.
