HALF OF 1928 CARS
WILL BE ENCLOSED
TYPE. SAYS WIGHT
Rain, Dust and Wind Are
Factors Which Increase
Sedan's Popularity.

Fifty per cent of the production of
motor cars during the coming year,
outside of Fords, will be of the en-
closed models. Therefore, about one-
twelfth of the owners of motor cars
in this country will have an oppor-
tunity to buy an enclosed model dur
ing the next IL months.
Four facts will make the enclosed
car production dominate the automo-
bile industry within six months time,
according to w. w. Wight of the L.
c. Power Motor company, Hudson and
Essex distributors.
First: Rain which makes the back
seat of an open motor car unendur-
able to a woman.
Second: Dust and wind, which make
it impossible for her to keep clean on
a trip through the sunny climates when
she likes to ride or drive.
Third: Increased production which
will place the enclosed car within the
reach of the mass of open car owners.
Fourth: Substantial body construc-
ton which will encourage millions who
own cheaper cars to buy better ones.
Open cars today are like the old
fashioned day coaches without the
yestibule.
Texas is buying enclosed cars,

Ford 900" racing car and the obscure
engineer who built it, around the world:
Il did not want the responsibility of
racing this '999' car" Ford told friends
after the initial meet, but Cooper,
my partner, said he knew a man who
lived on speed-nothing could go too
fast for him. He wired Salt Lake City
and on came a professional bicycle
rider named Barney Oldfield, He said
he would try anything.
""This chariot may kill me- he said
just before the race, but the boys will
say afterwards that / was going like
hell when she took me over the bank
He came in half a mile ahead of the
other cars, and many of them looked
more powerful too"
Ford's remark about the other pow
erful looking cars. was generally &C
cepted in those pioneer days and scores
of drivers met death before manufac-
turers found that smaller engines
could be made to develop more speed
than the mammoth motors of early
automobile days. This development
has gone forward until now the cham
pion racing ears are powered with en-
gines smaller than that which drives
the regular Ford EAR.

Autos Electrical System

parts of the battery had to be a com.
promise between the advantages OF
size, long life, cost, etc, and the prob
lem was to find just the right compro-
mise.
Perhaps the greatest improvem ents
made in the internal structure OF the
automobile starting and igniting bat
terry is the development of the well:
known threaded rubber insulation used
in Willard batteries. This is made BY
piercing the rubber crossWays, that is,
from the surface to surface, with near
-ly 100000 little threads. This com
bination makes it possible to use the
strongest and most durable insulating
material known, because it permits the
chemical action of the battery to go
on through the threads by capillary at
traction, and yet does not allow the
active material of the plates to come
in contact-which ultimately results If
the rubber is pierced with holes and is
not protected by additional insulation
of some other kind.
If the car owner could only realize
the years of incessant labor and
thought that have gone into the making
of the units Of the electrical system
on his car. he would better understand
why it deserves a little. careful atten-
ton from him. 1t is amazing that the
various manufacturers involved have
managed to produce types of apparatus
that SO successfully resist the neglect
which they often receive.

Nash d Roadster
OF Sport Type to Its
Six-Cylinder Line

Following closely its announcement
of a new Sport Model, Nash motors is
now in production on a roadster of new
and improved type. The body, toned
in rich maroon is swung low to the
road, the wheels being finished in
bright .vermillion. The top is ecru silk
mohair while the upholstery and inter
Tor trimming are all dark gray Spanish
leather.
The new Nash type ventilator graces
the cowl just forward of the one piece
windshield, the posts of which are
nickeled. There also is a niekeled radi-
ator shell. The new roadster includes
such other refinements as a new steer
ing mechanism, oil kipp equipment and
new barrel head-lamps, equipped with
an exclusive Nash device that permits
light adjustments to any angle quickly.
Across the front of the chassis side
members is a heavy bar that anchors
the frame solidly against weaving"
or road strain.
The new Nash roadster will make a
particular appeal to those who require
a car of this type for business or pleas
ure and whose preference lies with
one that is powerful yet handsome in
appearance.

THE HEART OF YOUR CARS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

From the beginning of electric start
ing and lighting of automobiles, the
storage battery has been and continues
to be the most important part in the
entire system. In recent years. this
Importance has been still further in
creased by the growing tendency to
depend altogether on the battery for
ignition. This was a perfectly natural
development, for in order to have the
car lighted when the engine was not
running. one must have a battery.
This in turn, necessitates a generator
connected with the engine, so that one
can use engine power when running to
keep the battery fully charged and not
be compelled to have it r~e-charged from
some outside source at expense to the
owner.
A good automobile battery must be
one with low internal resistance. 1t
must not increase capacity too rapidly
on charge and must give an immense
output on sudden demand. Great at
tention had to be paid to the mechani-
cal structure of the battery, to the
manufacture of the plates from care
fully selected lead compounds pasted
upon a lead framework called a grid
to the balancing of all elements in each
cell. In other words, not only the bat
terry as a whole, but many individual

AUTO OWNERS
CHANGE MOTOR Dill
IRREGULAR PERIODS
Saving on fabrication Is Re-
sponsible for Many Cars
i'm Service Station.

This being the season of the year
when every automobile owner is try
ing to secure the proper adjustment of
the different units Of his car and have
them operate promptly and efficiently,
we feel that one Of the fundamental
cares to be given the automobile in any
season, more especially III the winter,
is proper lubrication," says James Jor-
dan Of the Western Motors company,
Buick distributors.
I'VE find that there are today many
automobile dryers and owners who
are striving hard to obtain a high aver
age in oil mileage as they do in gaso-
line mileage. This practice is expen-
sive and destructive, as can be easily
seen and appreciated in a service sta
ton where there are a large number of
motor cars inspected daily.
Should Change Oil
I'VE find that the best results from
correct fabrication of automobile mo-
tors. are obtained by those who have
adopted a standard of fabrication and
regular intervals for changing the oil
in the motor and flushing it out prop
erly. This removes all residue depos-
tied in the pockets Of the bearings and
oil troughs and allows the fresh lubri-
cants to flow properly into the oil dis<
tributing passages, thereby giving the
proper film of lubricant on the cylin-
der walls and bearing surfaces.
"Dilution of motor lubricating oil
by the gasoline mixture escaping past
the piston rings with a possible second-
airy cause, drainage of the diluted oil
from the cylinder walls.
Leakage Causes DiIution
"Dilution is caused by leakage past
the piston rings during the compression
stroke. There is 4 secondary leakage
caused during the suction stroke. where
there is a part separation of heavy
ends of the fuel from the gas enter
ing the cylinder and absorption by the
film of oil on the cylinder walls. This
causes some drainage on the lower ex-
posed surfaces during the compression
stroke. It is doubtful if any drainage
or leakage takes place during the pow
er stroke. If we assume that the losses
take place during the admission and
compression strokes. we believe that
the following mechanical operating con
ditions of the motor should receive at

drivers in order to receive the proper

ENGAGEMENT OF CLUTCH

To let the clutch in, it is not nee

be opened just enough to prevent the
engine from losing any speed. BY
meeting the clutch with the throttle
it is possible to have the engine main
tain practically a constant speed while

GREAT PAGEANT
SEPT. IS, l9, 70 TO
DEDICATE BRIDGE

Stirring scenes of the 200 years
occupation by the white man of the
great plains bordering the northern
Missouri River valley will be called
to mind on September 18, 19, and 20
in western North Dakota when a
mammoth historical pageant is pre-
sented in the cities of Mandan and
Bismarck. The expedition Of Lewis
g. Clark, the intrepid explorers; the
catastrophe of General Clusters defeat
by the Indians, the conquest of the
hostile Sioux, the days Of the great
cattle ranches when Theodore Roose-
velt erode herd" the modern develop
ment of agriculture, industry and
transportation will be depicted. Per-
haps for the last time, citizens of the
New West will attempt to picture in
pageantry the memorable events in
the conquest of what was once known
as the Great American Desert.
Development of transportation,
from the time of the bull-skin canoes
which Lewis & Clark crossed the Mis-
souri,, to the present time will be
shown, the pageant of the Old and
New West, being a celebration of the
completion of the new S2,ooo,ooo
vehicular bridge across the Missouri
River between Mandan and Bismarck.
The northern Missouri Valley is
rich in history. Over this great
stretch of rolling prairies the Indians
made their last stand against the
never-ceasing struggle Of the white
man to advance to the west. Long
after the brave French Voyageurs,
the Verendryes, trying to discover a
route to the "Great Salt Waters" Of
which the Indians had spoken, ira
versed Dakota soil in 1888 the region
of the Great Plains was known as the
Great American Desert. Today it is
teeming with farms, manufacturing
is beginning to be factor in its busl-
ness life, and its citizens see for it a
great and rapid development as popu-
lation moves westward. The history
of the Verendryes expedition was
confirmed years ago by the finding in
the Black Hills of South Dakota of a
plate which told of their exploits. .
It was in 1904 when Lewis & Clark,
among the most famous explorers OF
America, came up the valley and
made friends with the Mandan In
dians. They found a guide to lead
them on their journey into the west
ern wilds in Sakakawea, "The Bird
Woman" who guided them to the Pa
cific Coast and aided them to escape
hostile Indians on their return. Their
tale of the great land they discovered
sent a stream Of hardy pioneers up
the Missouri River. AS the white

CHICAGO. June Legal objec'
ton to the marriage of her daughter.
Mathilde Mccormick. to Max oser,
Swiss riding master. was offered yes
terday by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick, daughter of John D.
Rockefeller.
The objection was in the form Of
a petition before Probate Judge
Henry Horner by Attorney Charles
8. Cutting, representing Mrs. McCor.
mick. The petition sets forth that
Mrs. Mccormick neither approves or
objects to the appointment OF Harold
F. Mccormick, the fsther, as guard
ian of Mathilde, but asks the court
to restrain him from consenting TO
the marriage.
The reasons Mrs. Mccormick
gave objecting to the marriage arc:
by the marriage Mathilde
would lose her American citizenship.
2-The disparity Of ages between
the two (Mathilde 10 sixteen, and
Oser forty-seven).
3-That Oser Is a man OF limited
means and Mathilde an heiress.
THAT the Swiss laws giving a
man control over his wife widely
differ from American laws.
Judge Horner, after the argu-
n,ents, intimated that he would not
interfere with the marriage. At the
same time the judge appointed Mr..
Mccormick the legal guardian Of his
daughter.
After declaring that he considered
the request OF Mrs. Mccormick that
the marriage be forbidden a proper
matter for the court to consider.
Judge Horner continued the hearing
until Saturday.
Attorney Cassells, representing Mr..
