PAIGE PLANT ID
 DOUBLE OUTPUT
Factory With 15 Acres of Floor Space and New
 Equipment About Ready

An army of workmen is engaged al the Paige-Detroit plant installing ma chinery and otherwise busy in bring ing to completion new manufacturing facilities planned sometime ago to meet the ever growing demand for Paige cars.
 The enlarged plant. which will shortly be ready, will give us more than 15 acres of floor space" says President Harry NJ. Jewett. We are installing every labor-saving device known to modern shop practice and with this new equipment and the added floor space we will have a plant that can take it's place among the giants of the industry.
 We figure that these new facilities will enable us to double our production. We need this greatly increased output, for in spite of constant additions to the factory and increased production scheduled, each year has found the de- mand for Paige cars greater than we could supply.
 When much larger production is de- manded it is no less a problem to main tain quality than it is to turn out the cars in the required numbers; but with the increased facilities of all kinds that we shall have we are confident of achieving both goals. At present we are well underway on very large schedule and speeding up as fast as possible to meet the immediate de- mand."

CONCERN WILL SELL
 OLDF|ELD TIRES
Made by Ex-Speed King of Great Racing
 Fame

Arrangements have been completed whereby the Weldon Martin Rubber company of this city will be sole dis tributors of oldfe1d tires and tubes in Birmingham and Jefferson county.
 The announcement, earlier this year, that the famous oldfeld was to produce an automobile tire, was welcomed by motorists everywhere. because they immediately realized how exceptionally well adapted to the production of good tires was the experience of Barney oldfield. for nearly 70 years the great est driver of racing cars in the world
 A powerful organization has been perfected at Cleveland O., where the Oldield tire the result of practically 20 years of testing and experimenting, Is being produced in large quantities.
 The Weldon Martin Rubber company will have the sole distribution of this product, which has already won recog- nition and favor at the hands of the motoring public. The local distribu tors will carry full line of cord and fab ric tires, and red and gray tubes in all sizes. They have expressed great con- hdence in the line and will put into it their best sales and serivce efforts.

Refinement Continues
 in Cadillac's 18th Year
Sedan and Victoria Models Improved Slightly to Meet Touring
 Requirements

The eighteenth year of producing g Cadillac cars does not see any impor- tant changes from the previous model. which served as the standard seven passenger car of the army. The eight cylinder power plant introduced by the Cadillac Motor Car company in 1914 is of course, retained. More than 75,000 cars with this type of engine have been sold.
 The prevailing tendency to use closed cars for touring purposes is largely responsible, however, for some refne- ments in the new series of Cadillac Sedans and victorias
 In the Victoria model storage space has been increased by furnishing tire irons at the rear for two extras, the rumble compartment entered through a lid in the top being now available for storing luggage. Re-design of the in- terior widens the rear seat and in- creases the comfort in the drivers seat The auxiliary folding seat which faces forward is upholstered and provided with arm rests. Four persons are seated in complete comfort
 The most Boticeable structural change in the Four Door Sedan is the full front seat, providing more comfort for long drives than the former bucket seats Emergency seats. have been abandoned
 In both the Sedan and Victoria mod els. the body corners, windows and roof lines have been squared d trif1e and strengthened. reflecting trimly the ten dency of present body styles The lower edge of the windshields follows the curve of the cowls.

FRANKLIN SHOWS
 ECONOMY RECORD
Twenty-Eight Miles to the Gallon Shows Good
 Average

Driving 3741s miles on only lS gallons of gasoline, a high record of 2S.S miles to every gallon, a Series s-B Franklin, pill victory in the third annual renewal of the Los Angeles to Yosemite economy road race, May 30 and S1. The Franklin captured three first prizes, the most ever won by any automobile in the event. Compilation of the returns has just been completed, giving the car, which was en- tered by Ralph Hamlin of Los Angeles undisputed possession of the title of '"best all-around car in the crowded field.
 First prizes won by the Franklin were: For the best record in the class of cars costing 5000 or more
 Sweepstakes cup for the best all-around showing of any car in the race at any price.
 Special Automobile club trophy for es- tablishing the best record in weight miles.
 The Franklin scored mark of 49.9 ton miles on basis figuring the weight when loaded, mileage and gasoline consumed. The formula for determining the winner in this class of competition is said to give heavy cars the advantage, so the Frank lin not only won in competition with heavier cars, but also completely defeat ed cars lighter than itself. Several of the lighter cars scored better marks in certain ways than the heavy cars. but were defeated by the heavy models in others. The Franklin beat both of them.
 The first Los Angles Yosemite run was staged June 2 and g, 1917. Feeling that a heavier car had Nthe advantage, Ralph Hamlin entered a Franklin enclosed model in competition with the touring models of his opponents Other contes- tants refused to believe an enclosed model ear corld compete with the open type, but Haniin fooled them all by winning in handy fashion, scoring 37.6 weight miles.
 The Franklin that won this years event
 is of the same series as the winner of the race the first time it ever was held, hut Fraaklin scientific improvements have added more than 12 units to the figure of the winning Franklin of only two years ago.

.ROAMER CAR SHOWS
 HIGH RACE SPEED
Was Running Fourth at \ Indianapolis at the Big
 Race Event

Although the grand prize at the In- eign car, Americans have no reason to feel disheartened over the event, says MT. Morrow of Bunch Morrow Motor Car company. American cars performed pow erfully and consistently, and but for the element of luck the results might have heen different.
 The Roamer, for instance, seemed all most certain t3 take place among the winners until misfortune interfered Dur ing the first 100 miles of heart breaking speed. the Reamer ran consistently in about twentieth place. From that time on it commenced to pass it's rivals one by one. At the end of 15o miles it was in sixth place, at the end of 175 it was in fifth place. When a tire burst in the ninety-sixth lap, the Roamer had just passed another car, putting it in fourth place.
 During 240 grueling miles the Roamer had been iii the pits only once, then to change tire and take on some gaso- line. For six laps before the accident the Roamer driver had been signalled to come in and change tires, and twice he had nodded assent, but the theory is that he wanted to complete half the race be-
 
 Fate was against him. In the ninety sixth lap a tire blew up, the car swayed into big pool of oil and skidded to- ward the cement retaining wall. The front wheel struck small pile of sand and the car was turned around so that the back part was thrown against the wall and the gas tank smashed open. A second turn threw out both the mechanI- cain and Lesocq, the driver, who were killed instantly.
 It had been planned that at the next stop LeCocq should be relieved by Sarles, who had driven the same car to victory three times in 1919, but the accident pre- vented this. Prior to the Roamer's S wreck, its performance was more con- sistent than that of any other car in the race, and attracted much admiration iri the stands.
 For the last few laps before it went out, the Roamer had been making S1 to 9S miles an hour which was five miles an hour faster than De Palma's time for the first 100 miles. As the Roamer was then in fourth place, and as the last half Of the race was run at about S4 or S5 miles an hour, it is very probable that the Roamer would have finished well up among the winners except for the acci- dent. In fact, the Roamer, which was wrecked, had defeated the Durant special ear, which finished second, in every race on the coast this year except at Santa Monica, where the Roamer was slightly damaged, and put out of the race on ac- count of the public obstructing the course. Al Indianapolis the Roalns. emerged from the wreck with it's motor uninjured
 On the whole. American cars made very creditable records in the race and unless fortune frowns again, it seems likely that next year the first prize will once more be awarded to an American ma chine.

Dort Wins Again

The Dort car, which ran first in it's class in the Stockton Y osemite relia- bility run, May 23, was the only car of any class that arrived on time at the finsh of the race.
 The Dort gained 75 minutes in the first T5 miles out, then loafed for 20. The last leg of the run was over steep grades with many curves, and at an altitude of around 5000 feet with a final drop of 5000 feet into the Yosemite valley.
 The Dort had q perfect score as to all requirements except one, being pen- alized five points on account of run ming short on gasoline.
