sweepstakes to be run on Memorial Day

Goux is confident that he can capture
leading honors in the West and then
plans to invade the East for an attack
on the worlds marks created by Ralph
De Palma at the Bay track.
Goux is rated as the greatest driver
ever developed on French soil. He went
through the entire war with the armies
Of France in an engineering regiment
and some of his exploits in racing a
speedster over shell torn roads are now
part OF the War Departments records
Of reckless and daring achievements.
Goux was one OF the first foreign
drivers to bring a European speed crea-
ton to this country to win one Of the
leading classics. He finished first In
the indianapolis classic in 1919 and
came back the following year, but could
only finish fourth owing to tire trouble,

Oh1cials of the new company state
that the Supreme Motor when IL leaves
the factory may be placed in the chassis
without the necessity Of additional test
ing or overhauling.
Production of the motor has been de-
layed by conditions brought on by the
war. Now that conditions again are
approaching a normal stage the COM
pany Is bending every effort to begin
production as soon as possible.
Announcement of the company's plans
In detail are expected shortly. With this

AMERICA NOW SETS
WORLDS FASHIONS
Europe Looks to Us for Latest
Designs and New Ac-
cessories.

Before the war-we might as well be-
come accustomed to this universal
method OF dating events hereafter>-the
leadership Of European automobile engi-
neers was taken for granted. Ever since
the motor era first dawned designers in
the United States have been accustomed
to look to Europe for the very best ideas
In design and manufacture. and to a GER
tain extent the trend OF fashion abroad
In one season was a forecast OF the mex;
seasons novelties in America
To-day all is changed. America FIRST
made the motor car popular. America
has built better cars for less money and
In astounding quantities by advanced
production methods France. England
and Italy now sit at the foot Of Uncle
Sam and are trying hard to learn the
secret Of the excellence Of low priced
American cars Not only complete vehi-
Giles interest the oversee engineer. but
accessories as we'll.
Naughty old Albion. whose Rolls
Royce was at one time sold exclusively
to the peerage. is actually trying to build
an assembled car. The Angus Sander
son. as 1t is called, is a British concep-
ton Of American principles of quantity

motor car builder in Europe, Peugeot,
Berliot and Citroon Of France. are each
building (for them) low. priced cars of
typscally American outline.
All OF them have unit power plants

all Of the new models. Hotchkiss
drive also appears. Battery ignition has
not been taken kindly TO. however,
but even in this they are following the
most advanced American thought, since
over here motor car designers are be-
coming dissatisfied with battery igni-
ton and are coming to favor the mag
neto. All OF the new foreign cars have
magnetic ignition, several of them with
American magnetos.
The Dixie magnetic. which made such
an enviable reputation for itself on land
and In the air during the war, has met
with great favor and has been adopted
by the Fiat. The cross shaft drive for
tho water pump and magnetic, in which
these members are driven by a shaft ex-
tending across the front OF the engine
is used by Fiat, Delage Angus San
derson and the new Cottin-Desgoutte

Many other features which were pion-
eered by Americans and which have
proven their worth here have cropped
out In the new foreign cars. of which
control levers, even with right steers
ccunterbalanced crankshafts and the hot
spot intake manifold are but a few.

AMAZING TRUCK GROWTH.
This Year VIII See Record Break.
ing Output.

Few people realize the phenomenal
growth OF the motor truck industry.
Fer 1918 the wholesale valuation of
motor trucks produced In the United
States was s434.16S.920. while the total
wholesale valuation of passenger cars
produced was $711,466.sS4.
1t will also be news TO many people
that only % per cent. of the total motor
trucks produced in the United States
last year went into war service. Many
people have the Idea that the majority
OF the trucks went into war service,
which Is not SO, according to Eugene
p. Herman. president Of the Herman
Motor Truck Company. Eastern dis
tributors for Stewart motor trucks.
The farmers throughout the United
States last year bought more trucks
than were used in war service, or ~
per cent OF the total made. The Stewart
factory at Buffalo estimated that more
than so per cent. OF all the motor trucks
made in the United States this year
will be brought by the farmers and that
the production OF motor trucks in 1919
will be more than 100 per cent. greater
than in 1918.

BIG CHALMERS MILEAGE.
De Bear Tells of Twenty Miles to
Gallon.

Over twenty-three miles to the gallon
is tho remarkable gasolene record made
by Chalmers in Ohio. according to in
formation received yesterday by Harry
J. De Bear. Chalmers branch manager,
here.
This Is perhaps a little higher than
the average Chalmers consumption,
said Mr.. De Bear. but II is all the more
sensational when It Is known the record
run was made with three passengers and
over dirt roads near Bellevue, Ohio,
where great quantities of sand make au-
tomobile touring very hard In places.
THE famous Chalmers hot-spot has
much to do with this record Of economy.
We have owners right in this section
who are getting maximum mileage in
their Chalmers. II is not n question Of
going further on a gallon OF gasolene, but
OF extracting more power and allowing
less wastage on every gallon that passes
through the manifold. 1t Is this great
function of conserving gasolene that has
made the hot-spot famous"
