used to change the connections of the

At low engine speeds the shunt

ducing a magnetic field for the arma-
ture to revolve in. With an increase
in voltage of the generator, due to an
increase in speed, the field windings
are disconnected, the permanent mag
nets act alone to produce the magnetic

as great as it would be had the shunt
field windings remained connected.
With a still further increase in volt
age the shunt field windings are again
connected with a resistance in series,

CaIifOrnians OF

SAN FF2ANCISCO, Cal, May G.
Business conditions in the Hawaiian
islands are good in spite Of the war
situation and there appears to be no
letup in the buying of motor cars or in
fact in any other line of business, &C
cording to c. c. Clark, salesmanager Of

who arrived in San Francisco last
week
When war was first declared"
says Clark, of course, there were all
kinds of rumOrs and for a couple Of
business. Since that time, however,
business if anything has been better
than before the war crisis became SO
acute.
Everybody in the islands, from the
mechanic in the shop to the plantation
owners has been specializing in stocks
for the last two months. Never be-
fore in the history of the islands has
there been such a wave OF specula-
ton.
There is a better field than ever
before for quality cars and the de-
mand is constantly increasing for cars
that are distinctly in the quality class.
Our firm is finding an increasing de-
mand for the MarmOn 81. Every car
that is sold and seen on the streets
Of Honolulu brings in a number Of
prospects and inquiries and We are
going to make every EOssible effort
to increase our allotment for the COM
ing season"

his headquarters at the salesroOms Of

uters for the MarmoI in this territory.
Rector at present is in indianapolis

tory from the Eordyke and Marmon

MOTORCYCLE UNIT Is
VALUABLE TO ARMY

One Of the most important and eff
cient units Of army equipment is the
motorcycle.
While it is most generally known to
what great extent these machines fig
ure in despatch and scouting service
In the European armies. an idea may
be gathered Of their Importance when
it Is stated that there are in use at the
various fronts a good many thousand
motorcycles-all the machines availa-
bic In Europe, in fact. Despite this.
every country at war Is clamoring for
as many additional thousands as they
can get acquisitions for %, 900 have
been made by the warning European
nations, while the combined output of
the European manufacturers will
amount to only 1000 machines. Thou
sands also have been exported, from
the United States. one manuafacturer
alone having shipped this year in the
neighborhood of 1000 machines and
hundreds Of side cars.
The widespread use Of the motor
cycle as a means Of quick locomotion
to and from any point is due to the
power, swift getaway, dependability
and flexibility Of the present-day ma
chimes. They have an instantaneous
pickup from standstill to terrific speed.
They need no beaten path or road, but
will go up a steep hill over rough
fields and through narrow openings
not accessible to thu automobile.
They also are an invaluable adjunct
to the aero squadrons Of the armies,
being utilized sor following up aero
planes in action, carrying supplies, and
in many other ways rendering swift,
reliable cooperation.
