REQ Cars Come Already
Prepared Against Theft

Because of the Lumber of thcfts OF
automobiles there has been much ac-
tlvlty on the part Of motor car manu-
facturers to make their machines thief
proof. Manager James J. Hunt. of the
keo Motor Car Company, of New York,
Inc. has just received several REQ cars
equipped with complete safety de-
vice.
"This device is an electric starter
button. SO arranged that when it is
pushed half way down it provides a
place for a paddock to be slipped
through, which makes it impossible to
start the car by the electric system,
as the button must be pushed clear
down to connect with the battery"
says Mr.. Hunt
"Another feature is that when the car
is IN any gear. except neutral, it is i'm
possible to push down on the starter
button. This will do away with acci-
dents which occur by starting the car
IN low or reverse when the driver
thinks it in neutral. When the starter
button is locked, half way down, which
can be done only when the car is in
neutral, it is impossible to put the ma
chine in any gear without first remov-
ing the paddock.
by this device, even though thief
might crank the car by hand, it would
De impossible for him to get away with
the machine, as he could not throw it
out of neutral. Another feature of the
safety lock is that the machine can be
pushed forward or backward when it is
locked. This is in compliance with the
city laws"

An advertisement appearing in some
OF the magazines recently relative to
automobile brakes contains some scien-
tifc data which are quite erroneous.
due no doubt to mistake.
The formula W over 1913 is given,
and from the context it is evident that
"V' (velocity) is taken in miles per
hour.
The true formula is w over 2X1O.8, in
"V' is velocity in feet per second. The
figure los is retardation in feet per
second.
Moreover, the factor usually con-
sldcred the extreme ability of retarda-
ton is not 10.S, but 10, for reasonably
good level roads, and 6 is considered
the extreme which can be used without
annoyance to the passengers.
This formula is quite simply arrived
at. If the car is travelling at the rate
of ten miles an hour it covers in
that time $1,000 feet. This is divided
by go minutes and then by 60 seconds,
which gives the result, ID 2-3 feet per
second.
At thirty miles per hour this be-
comes "a feet per second, and at one
mile per hour, Ia 2-3 feet per second.
and SO on for other speeds.
Iaklng for convenience the thirty
feet as the factor. 10 divided by al
1eet gives "A seconds as the time nee
essary to bring the car to a stop
AT the beginning of the braking it
is passing over Al feet per second and
at the termination it has ceased to
move: Consequently 90 feet per sec
ono Is its average speed during the
lntervaA Twenty-Five multiplied by
the period of IA gives US 96.8 feet as
the distance which it will pass over
while it is being brought to stand :
still. "'"
1t will be noticed that the foregoing
is equivalent to squaring A and divid
ing 1t by x 10, the above formula.
Assuming that the brakes were not
IN the best of order, but were capahle
OF stopping the car at the rate Of six
feet per second-i. e., as rapidly as
would be comfortable to it's occupants
put that the driver was inclined to a
somewhat more moderate speed, it

inns is one illustration among many
of the advantages of moderation in
speed.
1t is curious fact, although appar-
emily accidental, that the formula Civ
en- in the advertisement above referre d
to-, while it approximates the truth.
brings results which ought to be in,
creased by, about 7h9o to be correct.
And this added to the fact that the fac
tor is exaggerated makes " certain
that the average car would not respond
to the figures which it is claimed are
the normal distances within which It
should be possible to stop the car.
The factor assumed by the advertise
ment is equivalent to approximately
34@o of grade.
One foot of retardation is equivalent
to 62.5 pounds of resistance per ton.
Multiplying this by 1913 gives US re-
sistence per ton OF 675 pounds. Every
twenty pounds is equivalent to 1ea Of
grade, and thereby we. obtain the figure
1870 grade.

Standard System Is Rule
For Packard Truck Contes,

Since the Packard Motor Car Com
pany announced It's $1,000 truck eff
cheney test in an effort to aid the
highways transport committee by
bringing about better trucking, it has
received many letters asking why it
selected the national standard truck
cost system as the basis for compari-
sons between the trucks entered
"'Fhe answer is simple and convinc-
ing" says r. E. Chamberlain, Packard
factory truck salesmanager. "First,
this system is the result of the expert
ences of owners operating every we'll
known make of truck in all parts of
the country. 1t embodies all the best
OF their experiences, and therefore
cannot help but bring about better
trucking for those who adopt it..
Second, the system is an absolutely
unbiased one; that is, it is not gotten
out by any one truck maker or by men
favorng a certain make of truck. All
the leading truck makers are behind
1t. They have combined their expert
ences with those of the owners.
THE third and most important rea-
son Of all is that because OF it's un-
biased origin this system, if properly
kept, will give to the truck owner or
prospective buyer true picture of
what any make of truck can do under
certain conditions. IF the owner
wants to find out what his trucks are
doing as compared with what other
makes of trucks are doing in the same
business all he has to do is go to
another owner operating under the ma
tional system and get his picture.
The man who never has owned q
truck can go to number of men in
his line Of business and find out from
them, providing they use the national
system, how much it costs to operate
their trucks, which stand up the best
and all other favorable or unfavorable
elements.
Universal adoption of the national
standard truck cost system will greatly
simplify truck buying. 1t will elimi-
nate much of the element Of chance
and certainly will separate the sheep
from the goats. 1t is protective
that no owner or buyer should over
look"

of heavy duty running.
The truck is to go up on the west
coast to Portland and Seattle. 1t ne
gotiates three or four mountains every
day on the Pacific coast and has half
a dozen more ranges to cross. Parke

season. On that occasion he was
pitted against Freddie Reiger, and the
things that the locals did to Gillette's
team are still sweet memories. The
Athletics are one of the most formid-
able teams in the state at present and
give promise of being one of the chief
contenders for the state title in the
semi-pro ranks
Another change has been made in

SHEA-SHUBERT DRAW
New Haven Boxer Enters Ring i'll
Sick Condition and the Bout Is
Shortened to Ten Rounds.

Middletown, May 17-Tommy Shea,
New Ravens clever little feather
weight, stepped into the ring here
last night a very sick man but this
in no way prevented him from hold
ing AL Shubert of New Bedford to
6, draw in the feature attra
staged under the direction of the
MlddletOWn Athletic club. The bout
was originally scheduled to go fifteen
rounds but in view of Sheas con-
dition it was Whitfield down to ten.
Shea suffered a heavy cold which
lodged in his chest and made breath
ing difficult. The battle was of the
give and take variety all the way.
Shubert scored at infighting while
Shea scored his telling blows at long
range. Shubert was cautioned sew
eral times for hitting low and the
referee threatened to stop the bout
for the alleged fouls. There were
no knockouts.
Freddy Sigle, also OF New Haven,
earned a draw in his six-round tilt
with Young F'itz of this city. Fitz
sported a big weight advantage but
this failed to handicap the New
Haven youngster to any appreciate
extent. Sigle scored knockdown in
the first round. Fifty gained a slight
edge in the next three sessions but
Sigle evened the score by his work in
the last two rounds.
