PLOUGHS THROUGH
RAIN TO NEW MARK

Although rain fell the greater part
of the trip and the roads were a
slough of mud, Albert Burns, a Seat
tie motor-cyclist, established a new
24-hour record for the state of Wash
iEgton recently. In % hours and 43
minutes he rolled up total of $50
miles on his light Indian Twin over a
34-mile course lying between Seattle
and Everett, besting the previous
mark by slightly MORE than ten
miles.
Liberal doses of hot coffee had to
be administered to the tireless rider
as he rolled back and forth over the
slippery, treacherous road. Soaked to
the skin, with the wind aiding his
high speed in making the task IN
comfortable, he steadily plugged
along, at times reaching a speed of
So miles an hour.
ct regard the record as a high tri-
butte to the non-skid qualities and all
round excellence of the Firestone
tires with which my machine was
equipped" said Burns after his vic
tory. ''At such high speed over
those Shiny roads, a skid would have
been fatal to the record, if not to my
self. But the Firestone gripped the
road securely and gave me all the
confidence in the world to letter out
and tuck the championship safely
away"

YOU CAN Obtain
VIM SERVICES IN
SPRUCE GARAGE

One of the fastest growing automo-
bile concerns in the city is the Spruce
garage, located on Spruce street near
Howard avenue. David S. Ragalie,
who opened the garage last Septem-
Der, has found business coming so
fast that he is constantly adding to
his force of mechanics.
Mr.. Ragalie conducts as one of the
leading features of his garage the
authorized Vim service station for
his territory. This means that any
owner of Vim trucks can go to the
Spruce garage and be certain that the
repairs he requires will be executed
as well, as quickly and as cheaply as
they would be at the factory. 1t is a
service upon which the Vim Com
pany prides itself, and Mr.. Ragalie
has bent such an effort to making it
a real accomplishment in Bridgeport
that there is a full understanding
among users of automobile trucks of
the character of service which the
Vim firm affords.
my aim has been to take on moth
ing but the most experienced help"
says Mr.. Ragarlie. 81 give great at
tention to the matter of keeping my
working force up to a high standard,
and the men themselves have certain
ly delivered the goods"
The particular feature of the SER
vice afforded at the Spruce garage is
the electrical work, in charge of a
man who has been connected with
the biggest establishments in the
country. He is an expert in every
sense of thew ord. and out-of-town
owners who have become acquainted
with his service never go anywhere
else, although the trip often requires
some hours. The service is becom-
ing increasingly popular among
Bridgeport owners and Mr.. Ragalie is
frequently complimented upon the
excellence of his electrical depart
ment.

HUGE ENVELOPE
SAVES LUSTRE
OF CADILLACS

Since freight congestion conpels
that many motor cars be delivered
from factory to dealers under their
own power over the road, the ingen-
uity of manufacturers and dealers has
been at work to devise an effective
way of protecting the finish from the
effects of road splashing.
Many methods have been proposed,
and the Cadillac Motor Car company
believes the plan evolved by its deal
err at Baltimore to be one of the most
efficient.
A framework of light wood is at
tached to the car and over this is
placed an envelope, properly fitted.
All parts of the car except the wheels
and the front tenders are protected by
water proof material, which is held
firm and taut by clips and cleats. The
wooden frame prevents the envelope
from rubbing the finish. or coming
into contact with it at all. Even the
interior of the car is protected, for
the envelope extends upward to the
lower edge of the top.
Recent photographs show a cam
ouflaged Cadillac, upon its arrival in
Baltimore, after having been driven
all the way from Detroit. In one pho
tograph the car is seen with its en-
velope mud despatched. In the 9th
er the covering has been removed, re-
tealing the finish as Respondent as
the day the car was driven out of
the finishing room at the factory. In
this way a new car is turned over to
the buyer with it's exterior in as good
condition as though shipped in a box
car, and with the engine and other
parts sufficiently run in to remove
the day the car was driven out of
the mechanical stiffness which char

5,14S,O63 CARS
REGISTERED IN
The YEAR 1917
Increase in Cycles Shows
Workers Are Finding
Time More Valuable.

Appearing in the March number OF
comparative statistics having to do
with the manufacture and registration
of motor vehicles.
From this table it appears that
there were registered in 1917 a total
of 5,14S,063 motor vehicles. This
figure is an increase of 46 per cent.
over 1915. The south leads in ratio
of increase, the general distribution
of buying as follows:
South, increase of. ....61 per cent.
West, increase of. per cent
Middle West, increase of AZ per. cent.
New England, inrease of rs per cent.
New York state leads in registra-
tons with 408,612, an increase of 80
per cent. II q
Connecticut had S6,221, an increase
of Al per cent.
A more careful examination with
local statistics shows:
80 per cent increase in pleasure cars
40 per cent. increase in commercial
cars.
81 per cent. increase in motor cycles
IA pr cent. increase in dealers.
1t might readily be a fair conclu-
sion that the use of commercials for
freight purpose is keeping pace with
the increased demand. Even a cursory
reading of these figures will convince
any sceptic that the motor car is no
longer a pleasure vehicle. It has be-
come an essential factor in the daily
business of the nation.
The large percentage of increase in
cycles seem to demonstrate the factory
worker is finding his time more
valuable than formerly and that the
investment in this satisfactory type Of
vehicle is worth making.

One Of the big features Of the
Truck Show at the Casino this week
and one that is destined to revolution
ize many industries Especially farm
in) in the east will be the Schoffeld
Auto Motive Tractor which will be
set up and operated every day and
evening during the show.
This wonderful machine is the crys-
Utilization of the ideas of master en-
gineers throughout the world, both
Automobile Tractor and Implement
experts The S. A T., while one of
the lowest priced Tractors offered on
the market is also the simplest, most
economical, strongest and most versa
tile machines made-its easy adapta-
ton to various kinds of work will
doubtless make for it a universal
reputation.
The machine is operated by Au-
tomobile power and is so constructed
that any auto made can automatically
become the power plant for a Scho-
field Tractor. The automobile-(your
automobile)-is run upon the skids to
tractor frame. Sprockets are strap
ped to the rear wheels and two
small castings to the rear axle-the
rear end of car is lacked up in sec
ond, so that wheels are clear (there-
by becoming fly wheels) dividing
chains are slipped on sprockets and
you are ready for work-the engine
in motion power is transmitted to the
jack shaft and you have a tractor
capable of doing the work of from
four to IL horses, depending on tbs
automobile used.
While this Tractor was designed

AUTO INSURANCE
is GOING UP so
ACT PROMPTLY

Automobile liability and property
damage insurance rates materially ad-
vance on April first and it is decided
ly to the advantage of all car own
ers, who intend to put their cars in
commission during the month of April
to insure before that date, regardless
of whether the cars are to be used al
that time or not. A considerable saw
ing can be effected by placing the in
surance now.
F. Cooney, Real Estate and Insur-
ancn broker, whose office is located at
us Security building, represents
strong and reliable insurance COM
panies which make a speciality of set
thing claims promptly, equitably and
without publicity or recourse to the
courts.
Rates for liability, property damage,
with loss of use, fire, theft and col
lision will be quoted without obliga-
ton.

SCHOFIELD AUTOMOTIvE TRACTOR
WILL Be EXHIBITED this week AT
SHOW and Will Be OPERATED

as a farm machine, it will also do any
kind of work which can be accom-
plished by transmitted power-a
simple attachment for the rear with
pulleys makes it possible to saw wood,
run a hoist, grinder or a thousand
and one" other operations; it fact, it
will supply power for a small machine
shop.
A very novel feature of the S. A. T.
being that your auto-which is the
power plant, is not retired from daily
touring service as it may be discon-
nected in two minutes and run of
the frame for regular service, and
vice-versa, you may drive your auto
home to lunch and back without loss
of more than three minutes from
work and in hooking up" to the
tractor your machine is not injured
or impaired in any way-in fact not
even a nut or bolt is removed.
Every man with a hauling or man
ufacturing problem should plan TIC
investigate this efficient and wonder
full machine.
The tractor is an iron framework
made of IL and 3-inch angle
iron, its side members and cross
members being 5-inch channels, The
construction throughout is STAN
dardized and there is no part that
cannot be bought in any hardware
store or Ford automobile agency
Another valuable feature is that the
jack-shaft is interchangeable with a
Ford rear axle The hearings Ose6
are standardized Hyatt roller bear
ings the same as are used in the
rear axle of the Ford, so that if the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-26

jack-shaft should break or twist it
may Immediately be placed by any
Ford axle.
Several remarkable tests have been
conducted in Bridgeport during the
past week and one of the most note
worthy was the hauling of a 5 Is
ton load of tar up the steep winding
incline at Burns II Co.'s yard, which
was easily accomplished by a Scho-
field Tractor driven by a Hudson
roadster-the auto was started IN
high speed and did not falter in its
task.
A local company has been formed
to handle these machine and they
expect to commence building them in
Bridgeport in the very near fu-
ture.

FIFTY WOODS ARE
 SOLD AS MAHOGANY
tpopular Scicnce1

The name mahogany" is applied commercially 10 more than 50 different woods. Perhaps half the lumber now sold under that name is not true ma hoganv. for the demand greatly exceeds tho supply
 The tree is native to only the limited ana between southern Florida and northern south America. Nowhere c'sc does it really flourish. But the public win have mahogany. Women want it for furniture. business men prefer % for office fixtures, and teak and mahogany are rivals in the affec- Hons of shipbuilders. Therefore. sub .fitutes flourish.
 lt is not surprising that the real euud is so expensive. when it is earned that it takes from 100 to 15O vcars for mahogany tree to reach mcrchantahle size.
 Most Of thc substitutes bear little more than a general resemblance to thc genuine wood. but skilful finish ing makes them very much alike.

(New York Herald.)

Almost equaling Longfellow's tale of "Evangeline" are the strange experi- ences of Mrs. William Whaling, wife of Captain Whaling formerly caval- ry officer. After nearly three years of travelling she finally met her husband at Camp Mills yesterday.
 About three years ago, soon after their wedding. Captain Whaling was transferred from the Pacific coast to the Philippine Islands. He left his bride of three months with the idea of having her follow by later steam ship after he had obtained able nuarters Delays followed. and it was
