DESERT CAMEL GIVES
WAY TO AUTOMOBILE

More weeps for the lovers of ro-
mance-Arabs are forsaking their
famous steeds for the motor car,
says the Goodrich Dealer. Also, the
wind-swept desert of Sahara is be-
ing stripped of the clumsy and pic
turesque camel. The motor car is
making modern history in the land
where ancient customs regulate
present-day affairs.
Increased prosperity of the Arab
is responsible for the invasion of
the motor car. Irrigated farms are
bringing wealth to the tribes. Now
these famous nomads find the horse
too slow and are demanding
speedier forms of conveyance.
Speaking of the Algerian Sahara,
A. G. Howard. who recently return
ed from a visit in that region, says:
'One of the first aspects of the
new prosperity has been the gradual
disappearance of the camel. In the
unenlightened days the nomad was
satisfied to jog along on the backs
of swaying dromedaries. carrying
figs and dates to the market<towns
across the desert. There was no
competitions as everyone else de-
pended upon the same slow means
of locomotion. But today he must
learn to conduct his affairs with
Yankee pep. The thing which above
all others has caused this change
has been the introduction of the au-
tomobile. Cars of light make get
across the sands without sinking.
Quantities of them have been
bought by the prosperous nomads
and fitted out with water tanks ten
times the capacity of the camel"

MUSEUM GETS
EARLY AUTO
Second Built By Duryea
Put On Exhibition In
This City.

| The National Museum has just re-
ceived and placed on exhibition in
the Arts and Industries Building.
the second gasoline automobile de-
signed and constructed by Charles
Z. Duryea, between September. 1892
and September 1898, at which latter
date the machine was successfully
operated. The acquisition OF this
| most Interesting object was made
possible through the generosity of
lnglis NJ. Uppercu, president OF the
Detroit Cadillac Motor Car Com
pony of New York City. Although
the machine on exhibition is not
the first car made by Duryea, the
first being designed and built be
tween August 1891 and September
1892 and successfully operated, it
is a duplicate of II except in having
a more powerful motor and CORES
pondingly heavier and stronger
parts.
Just as in the very beginning OF
railroad transportation, the passen-
ger coaches used were simply stage
coaches mounted on wheeled trucks
so Duryea's first and second auto
mobiles were simply converted
horse-drawn carriages, the particu-
lar style chosen being the lady's
low phaeton. Every part OF the
carriage was used, simply adding
to it the engine and propelling and
control mechanisms.
The motive power of the vehicle
is single cylinder, four cycle. wat
er-cooled gasoline engine designed
by Duryea. The engine. whose pis-
ton rod and crank shaft are both
exposed. lies horizontal with its
heaad toward th' rear of the car
riage and the crank shaft and en-
gine is fired by a make-and- -breaE
spark. pin attached to the con-
ter of the piston head striking . piv-
oted arm which in turn is in contact
with an insulated connection
through the cylinder head to
The source of the cleo
trio current (dry batteries. }
The csrbureter is of the spray type
but without a float such as is gen
orally used today. and fuel was fed
into the foat chamber at a rate
which would give maximum power
at the desired speed. the motor
being operated at a constant speed
as II was thot sht at that time tina,
gasoline engine could not be
throttled.
This machine was used about
springfield during the winter Of
1898 and spring of 1894 and in the
meantime. another machine was be :
ing built-this one to be a real au-
tomobile. This third machine was
running late in 1894 and won the
hrst American Automobile Race,
Thanksgiving Day, 1896, at Chica-
go.

NO CHANCE TO SELL
TIRES in THIS TOWN

There's one town in the United
States where tire sales letters can't
land a prospect. The town is
Desert, Calf. The following letter
from the postmaster to the Goodrich
Los Angeles branch explains why:
Il admire your stick-to-it manner
but l assure you that until the great
State in which we live levels a few
mountains seven or eight thousand
feet high, fills up a few valleys.
same depth, and removes several
million cubic yards of sand. bould-
ers and what not. there is no mar
ket at Desert for auto tires.
IF your girl stenographer or
clerk who mails these letters don't
believe me send her out here to see.
She will have to wear sand shoes
for the rocks. knee high so that
snakes fangs will do no damage.
Il had some pictures of the autos
mcst successfully used in our coun-
try but sent them all away. How
ever, described briefly, they are an
Internal combustion type with in
fernal tempers, hair covered with
solid tires and wake us up at day
light with their merry hee-haw.
They are enormously called Desert
Canaries, Burros. and other names
depending on ones cussing educa-
tion.
Honestly. I'd like to help you out
on your tire sales, but as you see.
our machines don't use them and
machines that do use tires can't
reach US. Postmaster, Desert, Calif."

men that were then out of work
who went from the city to the coun-
try to help out the farmer.
1t is a poor principle of econom-
les Chat recommends tearing down
one industry in order to build up
another.
ASK any physician his opinion of
the motor car and he will answer
that il is the biggest single factor
in the prevention of sickness and
disease, for it keeps man healthy
and strong and therefore able to re-
sist disease germs.
IF the farmer has any say in
the conduct of the nations affairs
he will veto any legislation aiming
to curtail the motor car industry.
because no class knows better how
essential is the motor car than does
the farmer. and in no occupation, of
American life, Is the automobile
more unanimously used than in the
sgricultural States. 1t is not New
York and Pennsylvania that lead
in per capita automobile use. 1t is

Tube Used for Tool Case.

That old inner tube which has
been kicking around the garage and
which has long since outlived it's
usefulness for tire'purposes. can be
made to serve very handily as a tool
case in which to carry all the small
repair equipment, such as wrenches
of moderate length, spark plugs,
screw drivers. pliers, files. &C. Cut
a length of the old tube, sufficient
to take the outfits. and then after
splitting the rubber lengthwise cut
the slits along the center in which
to slip the tools. The sides of the
rubber will curl up over the tools
and then the whole can be rolled
into a neat bundle. which can be
held securely in rolled form by us
ing wide rubber bands by cutting
of sections of the tube.

BADHIGHWAYS
Experience in Texas May
Bring More Rapid
Federal Aid.

| Nothing better could have hap
pened in the interest OF good roads
and motoring generally than the in
cident of President-elect Harding
getting marooned at Point Isabel.
Tex, in the view of Emery Hus-
ton. vice president of the Lexing-
ton Motor Company. of Corners
willie. Ind.
TT required almost two hours
for the President-elect to cover
twenty miles of Texas roads" said
Huston, "and then he had to travel
over specially selected detours be-
cause a dinky little railroad broke
down.
S"All this must have brought to
the mind of the President-electt the
great necessity of the Federal gov
ernment taking a bigger interest
in constructing highways not alone
for the benefit of motorists but az
a means of solving the transpor-
tation and truck hauling prob
lems." the Indianian continued.
There are thousands upon
thousands of miles OF laid-out' high
ways that will never be improved
until the Federal government takes
bold, lays out a system and takes
active charge OF the work.
Not for many decades can the
roads connecting the East with the
West be improved until Uncle Sam
assumes the major part of the cost
and does the actual building. for
the Western States are too great
in area and too poor in taxable
property to be able to do what they
might be willing to do under more
| favorable circumstances.
From this point of view maybe
1t was a good thing Mr.. Harding
had. just before entering office. an
| object lesson on highway matters
OF the country" Huston mused.
