7 Oldsmobils Company. was president
Mr.. Ford waited on F. L. Smith or
various occasions, but his pleas went
for naught because the Ford company
at that time was considered not To
have established its right to rank with
legitimate automobile concerns.
The Dodge brothers owe the start OF
their fortunes to an order for 2,0OC
transmissions placed with their ma
chine shop by the Oldsmobile Company
1t is also interesting to note that the
Cadillac company, headed by Henry NJ
Leland, got its start from an order fol
1000 motors placed BY the Oldsmobile
Company with the Leland-Falkner Ma.
chine Company, OF which Mr.. Leland
was president.
Henry Ford and others followed in
Mr.. Smiths footsteps after he demon
strated the amazing commercial posi-
bi!ities of the automobile. He was the
discoverer and the explorer; they were
the settlers who profited, and wisely
so, by his vision and his faith in that
vision.
Other motor car concerns starting up
about the same time the Oldsmobile
company was in its most fourishing
condition were dependent on that com.
pany for their engineers, statesmen and
executives. This was, at that time, the
only producing plant in the country
where the automobile was manufac-
tured at a profit and in quantity.
s. L. Smith did not look upon the
motor car as impracticable, as did most
business men of his day. His faith
was strong-as strong as his financial
nf
copper millionaires, and never had to
worry about the state Of his finances.
Many times the future of his company
looked dubious and its managers were
disheartened, but each time S. L. Smith
came across with CHEEKY, heartening
words and, what was more important,
the money to carry on the work.
He was the prophet of the motor car
world. He made straight the paths OF
the many who were to come after HIM.
From the organization founded by him,
but not bearing his name, came the
men who were to be the leaders in the
industry for years to come. The list

Smith, Who Made Detroit
The Worlds Motor City

There died not long ago in
Detroit S. L. Smith, at tho ago
Of eighty-seven years. Who Mr..
Smith ,Vas and what influence he
brought TO bear to make Detroit
the Automobile City is interest
ingly told for Tribune readers
by A. T. O'Connor, Of tho Co.
lumbia Motors Company.]
Most persons-and many Of them are
very prominent motor car manufact-
| urers-either are not certain why De-
troit Is the centre Of the motor car
business or ascribe its leading posi-
ton in the industry to Henry Ford.
This they do in ignorance Of the fact
that Detroit was the centre Of the au-
tomobile industry in this country some
years before Henry Ford started to
market his car, even more than it Is
to-day.
The man who made Detroit the GEN.
tire of the automobile industry was s.
L. Smith, who was responsible for the
concentrating of the motor car. To
S. L. Smith, not Henry Ford, belongs
chief credit for the fact that to-day
the motor car is commonplace neces-
sity, that the automobile industry ranks
so high in the list of manufactures in
the United States, that Detroit is to-
day the greatest automobile manufact-
uring centre in the world. Had it not
been for S. L. Smith the motor car in
dustry could just as well have centred,
and probably would have centred, in
some city other than Detroit.
Yet one could count on his fingers
the men who could say ofhand who
S. l. Smith was. Only q few know
that he was the man who commercial
lied the motor car, that he established
the Oldsmobile Company, the first COM
pany to manufacture the automobile
by the thousands annually, that when
the industry was in its infancy and
rich men INDUCED in motoring as they
now indulge in seroplaning he poured
into the business millions of dollars,
despite the dubious shaking of the head
of other business men. He gave me,
and many others, the first chance to
become identified with the most mag
ical industry in the worlds history.
He saw the industry which he faith
in the sixteen years after he established
the Oldsmobile business in Detroit.
with his sons as active managers Of
the business. When the Oldsmobile
Company, Of which S. l.. Smith was
president, turned out ! 400 motor cars
in 1901, the public gasped, and was still
more amazed when that company manu-
featured 1000 cars in 1902. Perhaps
the public would have gasped still more
had it realized that the clear profit on
each was s210-a years profit Of $780,
900 on 1000 cars.
When the Oldsmobile Company had
attracted all eyes to Detroit, and had
made that city the Automobile City, the
Ford Motor Company had not begun
to manufacture motor cars for COM
mercial sales. So little was thought
Of the Ford company that it could not
gain admittance into the American
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
Organization. of which F. l.. Smith. a
son of S. L. Smith and an official in the

Novel Camp Car
Makes 7,OO0-Mile
Run From Texas

There rolled into New York last
week a closed car, for all the worio
like an ambulance in appearsnee-the
more so because il is painted black
and has screened windows--thati Is one
Of the best fitted camping out cars
seen in these parts. The car is the
idea and the property OF Harry u
Radcliffe. q real estate man from Hous-
ton. Tex, who, with his wife, has COW
cred about 1000 miles in the car, and
In ten weeks practically never has VS.
tied q hotel to sleep or has had meal
which was not prepared and eaten
within the car. The Texan is on his
way up to New England, and probably
will no. 90 back home for some weeks
to come.
The body, in general appearance, is
at first glance something like deliv-
cry wagon. It is made of metal and is
about 1os inches long. The width is
slightly greater than that Of the aver
age touring body. There are ten win
dows, all fitted with screens against
flies and mosquitoes. very happy ioea
in sleeping out of doors. The WINDOWS
are curtained, and also have glasses
that drop down into the sides OF the
body. In rainy weather the car can be
closed I'D, so that not a drop gets in.
The windshield is made in the usual
way. and also has netting which drops
into place as protection against IN
sects, etc, when the car is halted Tor
the night.
Sleeping accommo dations are psrtic-
ularly ingenious. The beds run with
the length Of tho car. There are ex-
tension pieces n the inside OF each
bed panel, so that, when they. are IN
place, the beds extend the. full width
Of the car. In long drawers under
meath tho beds are carried provisions,
table ware, etc, on one side. In the
drawers on the. other side clothing. is
carried. There are hangers on which
to carry outer clothing. 50 that the
tourists present an unwrinkled sppear-
ance when they strike town.
The car is electric lighted, and also
has a small fan driven of the storage
battery. In little compartments in
front Of the windows are carried bot
ties which contain ink, toilet stun and
medicines. There are two water tanks
inside, at the back Of the body, carry
ing ~ gallons Of water. A small cook
stove completes the outfit.
The seats are of the swivelling. arm
type and are removable. They make
comfortable riding, and at the same
time do not prevent easy access to the
car interior.
Underneath the car. in back, are two
dust deAectors, placed at varying an
giles, which throw the dust down into
the road and help to keep the car clean.
, The chassis is the regulation Max
we'll touring car design.
Unfortunately for a complete rec
ord, Mr.. Radcliffe has no figures as to
the cost of his car outfit. He said that
so many things were changed after the
first plans that he gave up figuring
what it amounted to. He and his
charming wife have an ideal camping
outfit for those who are fond Of the
great outdoors. They 60 where they
like, stop when they please and eat
what they like. If they want to 60
a-swimming in any stream they come
to they do 80. They look as il the trip
has been a happy experience.

Again the Subject of
Soft Tires in Hot Weather

Apropos the discussion of the pos
sible expansion Of air in tires in hot
weather, another one of the tire com.
panies has made series Of tests.
An initial air pressure of 70 pounds
was used in "a by 4 tire. The air
was pumped into the tire at tempera-
ture of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and
gradually heated until it rose to 10
degrees Fahrenheit. At this point the
reading of the air pressure indicated
1874 pounds, or an increase of S.4
pounds. This is not considered dan
gerous, for seldom will the tires Of a
motor car undergo such extreme
changes-in temperature.
A more practical computation for the
same tire with 10 pounds air pressure
was made with the temperature at the
beginning registering 20 degrees Fab
renheit Fast driving through hot,
sandy stretches, for example, caused
the temperature of the tire to reach
10 degrees. Even under these condi-
tions the air pressure increased to 1873
pounds. The results prove that the
expansion is negligible.
It seems inadvisable in view Of these
tests to run tires soft in hot weather.

What Isaiah Knew
About Automobiles

The other evening while perusing
the Old Testament / discovered the
following, which I think Is OF In
terest.
This would seem to prove that
automobiles are not OF recent
origin.
The quotation is found In tho
last part of the third chapter OF
Isaiah.
"Their round tires =:
the chains and the muf1ers."
1.-THE bonnets; the
changeable suits of apparel;
the glasses;
the hoods and the wells
And 1t shall come to pass that
instead of sweet smells there
shall be stink"
