Cadillac Coat of Arms
Dates Back to Crusades

Experts of heraldry, delving into
the dim records of the past, have
brought to light much interesting in
formation regarding the coat of arms
of Antoine de Ia Mothe Cadillac,
which is used as the radiator en-
blem on Cadillac cars. This authen-
tic information shows that the coat
of arms had it's origin in the time of
the Crusades.
The shield is divided into four
quarters. The first and fourth quar-
ters (upper left and lower right are
gold, divided by a black "fess," or
lateral band. Each quarter con-
tains three "merlettes" (small birds)
two above and one below the fess.
These quarters are the arms of the
de la Mothe family.
The ''merlettes," legless and with
out beaks, are a heraldic adaptation
they have a holy significance, being
considered sacred to the Trinity.
They were granted to knights by the
ancient School of Heralds, together
with the "fess," for valiant conduct
in the Crusades. The birds, shown
in black against a gold background
in the Cadillac arms, denote wisdom,
riches and cleverness of mind; ideal
qualities for the adventurous and
Jealous Christian knight. OF the
merlette, Guillaume, an ancient his
torian. says: This bird is given for
a. difference to younger brothers to
put tnem in mind that in order to
raise themselves they are to look to
the wings of virtue and merit, and
not to the legs, but having but little
land to set their feet on"
The second and third quarters
(upper right and lower left) are the
arms of another ancient French
family of the landed gentry allied
to the de la Mothe family by mar
riage. These were probably adopted
in the de la Mothe coat of arms
when by some fortunate intermar-
IMAGE another "siegneurie" Cparcel
of land) was added to their posses
sions. In these quarters the colors
denote that the marriage added to
the fame Of the family of the de la
Mothe something besides broad acres
prowess and boldness in
action" for the red; purity, char
ity, virtue and plenty for the silver.
The repetition of the cross bar or
''fess" indicates more knightly PROV
ess in the far fields of the Crusades.
The coronne or coronet enSigning
the arms of Cadillac is that borne by
the six ancient counts of France and
is emblematic of descent from the
old counts of Toulouse, who were
affiliated with the royal stock of
France. The seven pearls in the
coronne indicate the nobleman's de-
scent from the royal counts or
France.

British Officers Visit
Peerless Truck Factory

From the shell-swept fields of
France, Brigadier General Wilfred
A. White has come to call the loyal
sons of Britain to the colors. He
commands the British and Canadian
Recruiting Mission which has been
the means of sending thousands of
volunteers from the United States.
In a recent visit to Cleveland
General White, with a party of
fourteen British officers, made an
inspection tour through the Peer
less plant as the guests of l.. II.
Kittredge, president of the company,
who spent many months in Europe
during the early days of the war.
The General was particularly anX-
ious to be shown the various stages
in the construction of these mighty
mechanical transports as he had
seen thousands of Peerless Trucks in
action on the battle front.
The trip through the factory was
completed by a flying ride on a
truck over a special track where
all OF the Peerless war trucks are
given final 6sting. The party then
witnessed the loading of the days
output of twenty trucks which were
run onto the waiting fiat cars in
train fashion and quickly blocked
and spiked in place.
In the party were Major p. c.
Canon, Chief Inspection officer of
the British Mechanical Transport in
the United States, Lieut.. B. w.
Ainsworth and Lieut.. G. f. Cleaver
of the British Mechanical Transport
Service, and Lieut.. l.. d. Gibbs, Of
ficer in charge of British and Cana
dian recruiting in Ohio.

|Wiuys-Knight Taxicabs
Get Quick Recognition

Although it has been but COM
paratively short time since WHY'S
Overland, Inc, of Toledo, began con-
centrating some of the efforts of the
great institution toward building
WHY'S knight taXicabs, on n rather
extensive scale, this vehicle already
ranks among the leaders in the liv-
cry and rental line of motor cars.
Practically instantaneous recogni-
ion of the merits of the product
were achieved in New York City and
Ihtcago-the two great metropoli-
tan centers that to q large degree set
he pace in the adoption of improved
types of transportation vehicles.
Other cities have followed suit as
fast as the factory could keep up
with the orders without endangering
is passenger car and commercial
vehicle output.
The quickly achieved popularity
Df the WHY'S Knight taXicab is ac-
credited to the Knight motor and
o the refinements and improvements
n its body construction. The Knight
motor speaks for itself. From the
Standpoint of the taXicab owner, its
everwearing advantages and operat-
ng economy are facts that cannot
pc disputed. In densely crowded
raffic, with service compulsory un-
8 Ter all climatic conditions and over
3 lll kinds of streets and roads, the
aXicab motor must be subjected to
he most cruel sort of tests. In COM
petitive tests of this description, the
knight type of motor has not been
surpassed. It's quiet running fea-
ures also give it an added attrac-
ion from the viewpoint of the tax
cab passengers.
In body construction, the WHY'S
Knight taXicab marks a new era in

Emergency Proved That
Velie Runs on Kerosene

]. A. o'Leary, of Iowa City, Iowa.
dependent upon the garage man to
keep the fuel tank of his Velie Six
full of gasoline. When twelve miles
from nowhere the Velie lost its pep
stopped quietly and refused to go
further.
Investigation proved that there was
Tothing wrong with the car, but that
had failed in his duty.
A jaunt of half mile to the near
est farmhouse found them out of
gasoline, but possessors of goodly
stock of kerosene. Mr.. O'Leary bor-
rowed two gallons of the illuminating
oil and poured 1t into the tank of the
Velie. The motor started promptly
and he proceeded on his way to town.
The car ran finely and completed
the trip on pure kerosene without a
particle of trouble.

Trucks Have Duel to
Prove Their Strength

Prize fights have been big draw
ing cards for persons with "a drop
of sporting blood in their veins.
That form of fighting has been
barred by the legislators in most
states.
The age of truck fighting now
dawns. The first scrap between
trucks of different makes is report
ed from Emporia, Kansas. Other
than being the home town of VIM. A.
White, the famous publisher, the city
will be known as the stage of the
first truck duel.
The combat occurred in the freight
yards of the Santa Fe railroad. 1t
was an accident that the trucks en-
gagged in this battle royal. During
the scuffle the railroaders gathered
round and cheered for their partic-
ular favorite.
The tucks belonged to the McCord-
Kistler Company and the Bailey
Transfe-' Company. The two We
hicles became blocked back to back.
The driver of each decided that
the easiest way to clean the atpos-
phere and relieve the crush was to
pull the other out of the way. So
they hooked on" and started their
engines.
One truck was heavy make while
the second competitor was a Max
we'll truck.
A majority of the bystanders were
wagering on the big truck. The
Maxwell driver laid his money all on
his steel steed.
The word was given and the driv-
ers stepped" on the starters. The
machines seesawed, one giving q
bit, then the other machine taking q
strong hold. The Maxwell engine af-
ter the first few hesitations moved
steadily forward, dragging the heav-
ier truck with it. The crowds cheer
ed, the losing driver shouted for
time, and the Maxwell driver un-
hooked and moXed defantly down

Duplex Company Moves
Machinery Overland

The Duplex Truck Company has
just completed a thorough demon
stration of the practicability of its
4-wheel drive trucks for overland
delivery of freight.
When the new Duplex factory
buildings in Lansing were ready for
occupancy, all machinery and ma
terials were moved from the Char
lotte plant overland by motor trucks
"a distance of nineteen miles.
Practically 1000 tons of machin-
cry, steel and other materials were
transported by Duplex trucks-the
average load being 4 II tons. and the
| trips totaling 224.
To have moved the machinery and
materials by railroad, forty freight
cars would have been required, and
the freight charges would have to-
tailed $1,000, or $26.50 per car of
twenty-five tons capacity. 1t would
also have been necessary to handle
the machinery and materials four
times. The motor trucks, however,
were loaded inside the Charlotte
plant and unloaded inside the Lans-
ing factory, the machinery being
left where it was to be placed and
the materials Wnere they were to be
stored. The saving in transferring
at both ends by the use of trucks,
was considerable.
The total cost of transporting the
1000 tons by motor truck was $3.50.
Each truck made four trips per
day and hauled a total of eighteen
tons daily. The operating costs of
each truck including drivers wage
and depreciation was $40 per day.
