PACKARD DRIVE.
Machines Driven From Factory at
Detroit to Dealers in New
York City.

As an example Of tho "drive through y
program adopted by many Eastern auto
mobile dealers, nine Packard Twin-Six
chasses arrived in PHILADELPHIA last Thurs
day from Detroit on the way to New York.
The drivers were very enthusiastic over
their experience in negotiating tho snow
filled and mountainous roads in good time
with the thermometer around zero most
of the way and with the coldest day reg
istering IL degrees below zero. The route
followed was that laid out recently by
the army truck train from Detroit to the
seaboard via Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Gettysburg to Baltimore.
Commenting on this new departure
of driving trucks and motor cars under
their own power from factory to distant
distributing points, Lee j. Eastman,
president Of the Packard Philadelphia
company, states that when the increased
freight shipments and severity of the
winter began to paralyze railroad trans
portation systems the general public
began to comprehend how extremely
necessary is motor transportation and
how Independent it is of other means of
transportation.
simultaneously the government it
self found in test run of 30 Packard
army truck trains from Detroit to an At
lantic port that in tho couptry's supply
of motor vehicles it had whole trans
portation system unlimited by schedules
and capable of surmounting any obstacles
common to such a severe winter as we
are cxperienc ing.

SHIPPING TROUBLES.
Overland Company Issues In
structions to Agents and Dis
tributors.

In order to keep Willys-Overland
dealers closely in touch with the railroad
traffic situation, the following statement
has been issued by the traffic depart
me mt of the company:
''It is at the present time, and has
been for some time, Impossible to obtain
sufficient automobile freight cars to
currently move our production. Every
effort is being made by this department
to get just as large supply of cars as
possible, but, regardless of our efforts,
shipments of passenger cars are bound
to be interfered with and the advent of
severe weather and heavy storms tight
ems up the situation more than ever.
Snowstorms and freezing weather make
it absolutely necessary to reduce the size
of trains hauled, slow up speed on the
roads and add further to severe delays at
all points.
dealers and distributors should bear
this situation in mind SO they will know
Just what difficulties are being encounter
ed, not only in moving the production
from the plant, but after it gets under
way when it meets with serious delays IN
transit 1t is barely possible that the
freight car situation will become so acute
that any and every method of getting
machines from the factory to our dealers
and distributors will have to be used
during the next three or four months.
Dealers and distributors should be pre-
pared to meet this emergency by arrang-
ing to drive machines away from the fac
tory whenever possible.

CHEVROLET MOTOR.
It's a Short Cut to Maximum
Power, Experts Claim.

Speaking of the motor in the Chevrolet,
Harry Graham of the Wilmington Auto
mobile Co, local agents for the car, says:
"The Chevrolet valve-in-head motor
is shortcut to maximum power. Its
superiority is founded on simple, common
sense principles, as follows:
Tho shortest path is the direct ono.
the direct force is always the strongest.
In the common method Of construction,
the gasoline is usully introduced into n
side chamber--a sort Of waiting room.
There it explodes with a force that
travels a long distance until 1t strikes
tho piston waiting round corner. 1t
Is only weak, glancing blow.
In the valve-in-head motor this does
not happen. In this type, the gasoline is
introduced directly into the cylinder head.
"The explosion occurs directly over the
piston head, the cylinders being without
corners to collect gases, the fullest bene-
fit is secured by the explosion.
From the moment the gasoline enters
the cylinder head until the moment the
ilywheel receives the impetus, there
is not any waste Of power.
"All the gasoline cxplodcs and oil its
force goes to the fywheel. For this rea-
son Chevrolet power is maximum. The
absence of valve cages eliminates 6d
unnecessary parts

BRISCOE FEATURES.
Many Marks of Refinement and
Completeness Mark This Car.

w w Marmaduke of the Marmaduke
Automobile Co, in speaking of some of
the points of refinement and complete
ness of the Rriscoe says:
"The ventilating type tilted eye-saver
windshield, prevents the headlights
of other cars throwing reflection on the
windshield from the rear and back into
the drivers eyes. 1t also cuts down wind
resistance; curtains easily and quickly
adjusted: the one-man top that can really
be rapidly and successfully opened by an
individual single handed; the beauty of
lines and utility of the radiator are
unique and distinguished; the search
light socket in the dash; the easily cleaned
rubber floor mats; Splitdorf two unit
electric lighting and starting system; the
double rear window feature enabling the
driver to have q, clear view through the
back of the car
These windows are at the extreme
right and left of the back curtain. The
eermanency of the paint is insured by
the fourteen distinct operations used.
The color is Briscoe meadowgreen, soft in
tone and restful to the eye.
Eyes are the best judges and your
eyes will tell you that the Briscoe four
twenty-four on every point by which
motor car is judged is the car you will
buy"

TWO IDEALS IN CARS.
Franklin Designer Comments on
Uses and Demands Made on
Makers.

To the ordinary observer at the annual
automobile shows, the galaxy of new
designs put forward by the multitude of
automobile companies throughout the
country represent a maze OF ideas which
do not perceptibly disclose the trend in
automobile design.
yet there are at present IN vogue
two very distinct ideals In motor car
carrosserie design" says W. III. Emond,
body designer of the Franklin Automobile
Company "The one related TO the ele-
ments of sport and speed carrying with 1T
suggestion of rakishness; the other
plainly indicating, In the appearance of
the car, comfortable road ability, re-
iincment and a permanent good form.
In the sport models the rakishness
Is obtained by making both lines and
dimensions contribute to the desired
effect long, straight, horizontal lines,
very low seats-all involving necessarily
an abnormally long wheel base, with the
extra weight that goes with It, which IN
turn compcls more power for the required
ability. The style of vehicle thus evolved
presents the combination of approx
matcly 1000 pounds of vehicle carrying
an average passenger load OF less than
1000 pounds
Over against this rakish tendency
in design, which undoubtedly enjoys its
share Of popularity, is the style of vehicle
designing which considers comfort and
convenience for passengers and driver,
employs body dimensions proper to
attain this object and at the same time
keeps the size of the complete car within
reasonable limits for the attainment of
high efficiency, ease IN handling, and
economy IN fuel

ENGINE is ACCESSIBLE.
Cadillac V-type Makes Valves
Easy of Reach by Amateur.

One Of the features Of the Cadillac
eight cylinder V type engine. which
strikes the observer is the evident. at
tention which the designers have given
to the all important item Of accessibility.
With the cylinder blocks mounted at
an angle OF 90 degrees to each other,
abundant space is left in which to get
at the valves in the event that they
should need adjustment.
Not only this, but the mounting OF the
distributor at the extreme forward end
and the motor generator at the rear with
the carburetor mounted midway makes
it possible to reach the valve rods with
out removing any Of these units.
BY mounting these units above the
engine they are accessible by simply
raising the hood.

onth and King streets, are local agents
for the Cadillac.
