NOW SUPPLYING PARTS
FOR ORPHANED CARS
Several Concerns See Business OPP
portunity and Are Making Money
by Their Enterprise.

In buying a car one question of i'm
portance to the thoughtful purchaser has
always been whether or not repair parts
for certain make and model under con-
sideration would be obtainable during the
period of it's useful life. This query has
assumed importance on account Of the I'M
happy experiences of purchasers who
bought cars built by companies which soon
after went out Of business and left their
cars "orrhaned' and inadeQuately pro-
vded for in the way of requirements.
Many an able car has been retired from
service prematurely. because Of the ex-
IRENE difficulty and the inordinate expense
attendant upon securing necessary re-
placement parts. for in some instances 1t
was almost impossible to ascertain where.
if at all, these parts could be obtained
Recently. with characteristic enterprise in
grasping promising business opportunity
a number Of large concerns have special
lied in the supplying OF parts for or
phaned' cars and their appearance In
danger that the owner Of a car whose
manufacture has been discontinued should
be left without the means OF replacing It's
parts as they wear out or break.
There are also concerns who mako :.
business Of buying up cars that are no
longer being used. taking them apart and
keeping all serviceable parts in stock. 30
that they may be obtained by the owners
Of cars that require them. Several OF the
automobile trade papers have recently
published lists Of all the makes Of cars in
use but no longer manufactured. with the
names and addresses Of the concerns from
whom their repair parts can now be OBJ
tanned. Such information Is OF value to
all owners Of "orphaned" cars. many OF
whom have been at loss as to where
replacements could be had.

The automobile dealers of the coun-
try have finally awakened to the neces-
aity of having a national organization
behind them for mutual welfare, bene-
1T and protection. The determination to
n-l,a lie into national UNIT all of the
state and local associations and inai-

cached in this city when representa-
ives OF the principal associations of
he country went before the Senate
nance committee and successfully
grgued the elimination of the ; per
cent war tax on the factory price of
automobiles from the ways and means
committee bill. which had been passed

HIGHEST GOOD ROADS
MEETING ON Pixies PEAK
Midsummer Gathering to Take Place
There July 10
and IL.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col. June l6.-
The highest good roads meeting ever
held in the United States will be staged
July 10 and II on the summit OF Pixies
peak, when the midsummer gathering
of the Pixies Peak Ocean-to -ocean
Highway Association will take place
These dates have just been definitely
fixed by the national organization. and
delegates from points all along the
route are planning to make the trip
for the event. A number of sociability
runs are being organized in various
sections of the country to attend the
meetings as well as to provide an en-
ioyable summer tour for the delegates
and their families.
Added interest is given to the high
way association meetings owing to the
fact that q majority of the delegates
will drive their own cars to the summit
Of the famous sentinel of the Rockies"
over the new Pixies peak automobile
road the highest in the world. This
road, perfect mountain boulevard.
twenty feet wide and safe all along its
eighteen miles. is declared to be one
of the most remarkable highway engi-
neering feats in the last decade. Also
the delegates to the convention have
been invited to make the trip over the
lrNStal dutIonOblte ROAD. announcer
beautiful winding drive. into the heart
of some remarkable scenery.
At the summer session one of the
important matters to come before the
delegates will be the report of the COM
mittee on western extension of the high
way from Utah through Nevada and
California to the Pacific coast. Ma
tional Secretary A. W. Henderson and
members of this committee will attend
the Utah division meeting at Duchesne
on June II. and will make an investi-
cation of the proposed routes in or
der to be ready to submit their recon-
mendations at the July 10 meeting. The
roads that are to be inspected will be
the Overland trail through northern
Nevada into California, the Midland
trail and the Arrowhead trail from Salt
Lake City to Los Angeles. The COM
mittee will also investigate to see
whether an entrance into California
other than that of the Lincoln highway
or the Midland trail is feasible.
When the western extension matter
is finally arranged the Pixies Peak
ocean to ocean highway will have an
independent organization from coast to
coast along its entire route. At re-
cent meeting the New jersey state di-
vision was formed. thus giving the
highway an eastern terminus at New
York city. in addition to that already
through it's Pennsylvania division, the
William Penn highway, at Philadelphia.

PLANS TO HAVE MARKERS
ON THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Association Will Erect Artistically
Designed Designations at Each
of the State Lines.

DETROIT. Mich, June 16-Arrange
ments have been completed by the Lin
coin Highway Association for the cree
ton of permanent artistic markers at
each state line crossed by the highway
between New York and San Francisco.
Eleven especially made markers, each
thirty -four by twenty-five inches in
size, mounted on post standing seven
and a half feet above the ground upon
foundation of concrete. have been
manufactured and are now being
shipped to the various Lincoln High
way consults at points nearest the state
boundary lines in the states traversed
by the Lincoln highway.
The activities of the Lincoln Highway
Association extend to every phase of
actual and useful improvement of the
transcontinental road and the placing
of suitable state line boundary mark
ers has long been considered n neces-
sary step in the furtherance of actual
improvement.
Actual cooperation has been ex
tended to the association in this en-
deavor by the Lebanon Machine Com
pany of Lebanon, n. H. through G. P.
Butler. general manager. who contrib
uted the markers ready for erection.
The markers are exceptionally hand
some. with the reading matter upon
them appearing in white upon black
background.
The first of these markers has been
erected at the Calhoun street bridge. in
Trenton. n. j.. where the Lincoln high
way crosses the New JerseyPennsyl-
vania boundary line. The other ter
markers will be placed in prominent
positions at the state lines from that
point west. Fitting ceremonies are be-
ing arranged by Lincoln highway en-
thusiasts in each state. to be carried
out at the time the markers are placed
in position.

STUDY OF AUTO DESIGNS
AS MADE BY w. o. THOMAS
American and European Methods Of
Manufacture escribed-ForeiRn
Trade Demands Discussed.

After twenty-nine trips across the At
lantic, in both peace and war times, W.
Owen Thomas of Detroit, who has made
a close study of both American and
European methods of automobile de-
sign and manufacturing. has this to
say:
"In England and Germany research
engineering has been carried on to a
wonderful extent. but high-grade labor
has been plentiful, and manufacturers
there have always argued that with the
small production of any one model
there was little to be gained by invest
Ing heavily In American production
tools and methods The foreign trade
generally has demanded from each
manufacturer too many models to allow
him to concentrate in the American
way on one model.
In France. Belgium, Switzerland
and in tho Slav part Of Austria cater
Ing to Russian trade. the supply OF
| skilled labor has never been as great
IN proportion to the demand as in Eng
these countries have always been en-
ceedingly anxious to develop their
manufacturing resources along Ameri-
can car lines. Naturally this different
viewpoint In manufacturing affects tho
| engineering. The result conseauentIv ia
the producing of a type of design much
more easily used In America than those
produced in England and Germany.
here IN america We find the manu-
facturer entirely wrapped up In pro
duction. From the European standpoint
our quantity production means cars
without refinement OF detail and that
economy OF iuel which is demanded by
the European purchaser. Tho American
| manufacturer could produce q superior
design with proper economy and refine
ment JUST as easily. but he is usually
wrapped up In Quantity production
alone. and Is opposed to any improve
ments because tho change would AFFECT
his production. He fails to see that he
couio longer avoid change II his de-
sign was strictly up-to-date, and that
ne could Increase his production by
competing In those countries where

Auto Sales Gain in Canada.

Though Canada shows the effects Of
the long war. as does her mother coun-
try, It is estimated that the farmers
spent 100000 more for cars last year
than in any other year. The war crop
of wheat is giving the farmers large
profit, and this is given as reason for
the increased purchase of cars

that the boxing game as it exists is not
worth preserving. But that is the fault
of his own commission. The game
should have a fair cnance before II is
put to death.
The ferocious and formidable Fred
erick Fulton will entertain az the
estate of Grant Hugh Browne, 81 Gosh
en-, this afternoon. Frederick Will spar
a few rounds with Al PalZer and go
through some other forms Of amuse-
ment for the ediacation Of his guests.
The tour 20 Goshen will be conducted
By Jack Curley. who has never been
there, but expects 20 find the way with
the aid Of bloodhounds.
Despite the talk Of abolishing the
boxing game, Fulton Is going right
aloLg with his preparations for the
bout with Charlie Weinert, which -
slated for Madison Square Garden on
the 18th.
Grant Hugh Browne has decided upon
a new name for the club. Instead OF
the Sportsman's Club Of America, the
organization will be known as the Al
lied Sports and Athletic Club. Browne
is so certain that the bout WILL come
off as per schedule that he has an
nounced that there will be no SMOKING
while il is in progress. II seems that
the ferocious and formidable Frederick
has never used the filthy weed and that
the aroma of tobacco smoke makes him
seasIck.
Unless the ten-round boxing game IS
abolished or something unforeseen
should cause a collapse Of the interest
in the fight game, Jess Willard and
Fred Fulton will be matched for Madl-
son Square Garden this spring. Inc
presence Of Tom Jones, the barber OF
Kewanee and Wizards chief adviser,
indicates that. Also Jack Cur!ey, VINO
owns a number of shares Of willard
preferred, is on Brownies staff Of con-
tidants.
Willard has 20 make one more pre-
tence of defending the title before the
circus starts. Unless he does there
will be a considerable shrlnkase IN his
prestige and a consequent dropping or
in his drawing power. Tom Jones and
Jack Curley will match him with Full
ton il they have TO use ch!orotorm and
a derrick to get him into the ring.
The hearing Of the extortion charges
against Frederick Wenck, chairman OF
the Boxing Commission, will be re
sumed before Commissioner Lord TO-
morrow at the Bar Association.

WESTERN TENNIS MEN
IN CONFAB TOMORROW

Chicago, Feb. 3.-objections Of the
Middle West TO recent changes sug-

States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton will be discussed. and perhaps acted
upon, at the annual meeting of the West
ern Lawn Tennis Association here next
Monday. The meeting was called for
yesterday, but inability Of a quorum Of
members 10 attend caused postpone
ment.
One subject of particular interest Is
the suggestion Of the national associa-
ton that the amateur rule be made
more stringent, following the lead OF
the governing body Of golf in dis
barring from amateur competition any
one who capitalizes mis- athletic prov
egs in any way.
