gotiate very soft or uneven surfaces
impossible to the usual type OF pow
er vehicle.
Rather than experiment with a
new engine, it was found that the
standard Cadillac eight-cylinder "
type engine, with some slight chang
es, was not only capable of doing
the work, but that it further DEM
onstratcd the most remarkable abil-
ity in several astonishing tests. In
one of the tests the tractor was tied
fast and under the power OF the en-
CINE the caterpillar tracks were made
to slip on a rough concrete base.
The Cadillac company was turning
out large quantities of engines for
this tractor before the armistiee was
signed.
Searchlight Chassis.
One OF the most interesting pieces
of travelling equipment used by the
allied army was the giant automo-
tive searchhght, mounted on Cad
lilac chassis, which was standard ex-
cept for a special electric generator.
The searchlight itself. with a re-
Hector approximately 90 inches in
diameter, capable of throwing a
light fifteen, miles, is carried on a
small, light chassis.
Upon reaching a sheltered posi-
ton from which observations are to
be made, the small chassis is run
off tracks mounted on the Cadillac
chassis and down a ramp the cable
attached to it unreeling from large
drum on the Cadillac. The small
chassis and light are located in a
position from which the light may
be most advantageously operated.
For Liberty Trucks.
The Cadillac company was chos-
en- by the government for the deli
cate task of designing and manufac-
turing the various gauges for the
government inspection OF Class B
military trucks. known as Liberty
trucks. Special accuracy was re-
quired in these gauges. The gov
eminent paid high tribute TO Cad
lilac engineering. genius and the
craftsmanship in leaving the limits
of measurement entirely to the
judgment of Cadillac engineers and
designers. More than $500 of these
gauges were made as soon as they
had demonstrated their merit after
passing a most critical inspection by
the government bureau of standards.
The Cadillac Honor Roll.
A complete record has not been
made of the number Of Cadillac men
who entered the service of the army
and navy and those who made the
supreme sacrifice, but from the fac
tory alone more than 1900 gave
their service to Uncle Sam.

A COMPARISON of the schedules of
4 the Golf Associat ton of Philadelphia
for last year and the fast-approachlng
season will show that while there wer.
thirty playing days last season. this
year there will be forty-ive an increase
of so per cent This is due largely to
the revival of the historic interclub
championship, Iynnewood Hall. St Mar
tins cup and the addition Of the invita-
ton tournament at North Hills. There
is also an Increase in the events sched-
uled by the WOmen's Golf Association.
For the first time in two years there
will be championships in the mems anna
teur and open events, although the
women carried their championships
throughout the war period. This was
the result Of conditions that affected the
men players more. There were SO many
Philadelphians in war service that ii
would not have been fair to have held
events with the titles. II Is 10 be hoped
that most Of the soldier and sailor golf
ers will be back in civilian life by the lat
ter part Of June. when the champion

pleasant. there will be no matches on

course which at present cannot be con-

selected for the amateur title event. Just
how it is going to work out remains to
be seen. There are some excellent holes
at Philmont. but many, are not hard
tests of golf. 1t will be an easy course
for the long drivers. for a long tee shot
on many of the holes makes the second
shots very easy.
