II. II. Rice, president and general
manager of the company. issued the
following statement regarding the re-

THE new prices are mainly the re-
suit of the large production and sales
of the type 81 Cadillac during the last
year, in which we have already sold
more Cadillacs than in the best pre-

The type 81 Cadillac proved so
popular during this last year that we
were forced time and again to revise
upward our production schedule to
meet the demand.

otherwise the engine may be stalled.
Do not go too close to the other
vehicle or objects before releasing the
clutch and applying the brakes. as the

When desiring to stop. select some
object along the curb and when still
some distance from 1t ~disengage the
clutch and apply the brake gently and
get the car under control so thate you
can stop 10 feet before the object is
reached if YOU wish to. Then releas-
ing the brake slightly, allow the a to
drift until close to the object. then
again apply the brake with sufficient
force 10 bring the car to q ~standstlll,

Some cautions which new drivers
especially should heed are: First, be
sure that iii levers are placed cor

The brakes should not be applied with
too much force except in emergency.
az it is hard on tires and the machine
in general. Don't let the motor labor
or knock when ascending hills.

WE[LENS EXPECTS
DEMAND FOR STARS
To Be widespread
Distributor Advised to Allot
Cars to Different Points
in His Territory.

In spite of the fact that the pro-
duction of the Star automobile will be
large, J. H. Wellens of the Wellens
Motors, distributor Of the car in north
ern Montana, does not expect that the
Durant factories will be able to meet
the demand. Mr.. Wellens has been
advised to distribute the allotment of
Stars that will receive accordingly.
The Star will sell in Great Falls for
$575, and Mr.. Wellens considers it the
best buy for the money on the auto
mobile market.
"Smartness in looks. thoroughnesS
and modern design in a low priced car
were unheard Of until the Star was
created by ". G. Durant, the pioneer
builder Of more than 100000 auto

BUICK RESPONSIBLE
FOR INCREASE IN
FLINT POPULATION
City Was $4,000 in 1900; Now
Is 100000 and Still
Growing.

The 20 years story of Buick, Gull
minating in the record smashing out
put of the last three months, is one of
the amazing achievements of industrial
America.
The story Of Buick is essentially
the story of Flint, Mich, which has
increased from a population of 1900
III 1900 to 100000 at the present time.
1t is estimated that more than one
half of these people are either EN-
ployes of the Buick Motor company
or are their dependents.
Didn't you read about Buick build
ing nearly 10000 cars in OctoberF"
asked one old resident. We'll Buick
is going right along at the same pace
now" The old residents information
was fully verified at the Buick fac
tory. where they are turning out IN
November as many ears rs scruplous
manufacture will permit.
production figures for November
may not equal the October total. but
they will come within Il respectable
distance of it." said General Sales
Manager +. T. Strong.
Back in 1911 Flint people were just
as greatly surprised over q production
of 10000 Bucks in an entire years
time. And since then they have seen
Buick constantly growing, until the big
north end plant now covers more than
200 acres of land and gives work TO
$4,000 men and women.

OAKLAND SKATERS
RUNNING RECORDS
IN BADGER STATE
Runs 3S3 Miles in Nine Hours
and Five Minutes; Aver
ages IL Mi. to Gallon.

All records for time between Mil
yankee and St. Paul were shattered
last week by automobiles flve-pas-
senger Oakland car making the run
of 1888 miles in nine hours n i've
minutes actual running time-Just ~
minutes faster than the fastest night
train between these two points. lime
was taken out for meals only. u
persons were carried on the trip.
The car was often driven at a speed
of 90 miles an hour, and run Il major
ity of he time at 80 miles an hour,
slowing down as it passed through the
many towns %enroute. The average was
1873 miles for the entire run.
The trip was continued from g.
Paul to Duluth, a distance OF lob
miles. which was made in three hours
and 90 minutes over a muddy. choppy
road. The entire trip back was made
through a heavy downpour OF raIn-and
mud, at Il pace almost as swift as the
record run. although more frequent
stops were made. Twice the car
sloughed into bitches due to he deep
mud but each time got under way again
on IFS own power.
on the entire round trip the OAK
land was driven LOG miles, yet on
arrival back in Milwaukee was throt-
tied down to less than 2 miles an hour
on high gear for a distance of one
block and the motor was running
perfect.
There was not a drop Of water put
in the radiator during the entire trip.
The run was made on al average OF
II miles to a gallon Of gasoline and
but five quarts of lubricating oil were
used.
All driving on the record run be
tween Milwaukee and st. Paul was
done by Brownie. the automobile editor
Of the Milwaukee journal. Emil Hokan-
son Of the Wisconsin Oakland company
loaned the car and made the trip with
the driver and two other men.
After the trip the car was checked
up for any sign Of ~looseness Of parts
but all parts were found rigid and tight
enough for another trip of a similar
nature.

NOISES DEVELOP
IN BEST Of CARS,
SAYS AUTOEXPERT
Explains How to Locate and
Get Rid of Little
'Ann0yances.
By ALEXANDER JOHNSTON
Editor of Motor

Noises in the body Of the motor
car are something that inevitably de
velop, even in the best constructed
bodies. If they are allowed to con-
tinue they become annoying in the
extreme, and the way to avoid them is
by constant vigilance and care.
No body is perfectly rigid. The
body must weave with the motion OF
the frame as the car passes over ear
tracks and other distractions. inns
weaving movement loosens the supports
and means of holding the body tight,
so that noises rapidly become audible.
For instance. use loosens the hinges
and wears down the rubber buffers.
Every time the door is slammed, the
hinges are loosened a little and noises
begin to make themselves heard.
Replace Buffers
BY the end Of any motoring season
it is practically certain that the little
rubber buffers will need replacement.
In many cases the screws that hold the
hinge will have worn loose, SO that they
do not grip the wood. The way to cure
this is to drive a little wooden dowei
into the original hole and then drive
home the screw again, when 1t will hold
tighter than ever.

are another source. of noise. After
continued use they rattle badly. Lit
tie felt pads are provided to hold the
glass firmly. but in time this felt pads
down, so that it does not hold the
pane tightly. The pads should be re-
newed when noises of this kind are no
iced.
Door Locks Rattle
Door locks are often the seat of
minor noises. caused by lost motion in
the inside lever. 4 small felt pad At
he end of the slot nearest the lever will
cure this trouble.
Creaking of the body joints and rum
bling Of the body stills on the frame
rails is the result Of lo0sened body
bolts. After these have been frightened
if the noise still continues. a felt pad
inserted between the body and the
frame will usually eliminate the trouble.
Friction between the engine hood and
lash flange often causes an annoying
squeak. \ lacing is installed TO pre-
TENT this, but if the lacing is worn
the noise begins. A new lace of raw
hide is best, although fabric viii do.
at the time this is done. the hood
tatches should receive an application of
oil.
Tenders and Body
Another location to be suspected
when obscure noises and, squeaks arise
IS the joints of tenders and body. When
these dry metal parts begin rubbing
against each other Il most annoying
squeak results. Spray these joints
With a little oil and the offending noises
will disappear.
Sometimes the rear fender develops
n habit of rubbing against the side of
the body in a most Objectionable way.
Here again a slight spray Of oil will
cure the trouble. For spraying the
oil the device used by garages for
spraying kerosene is a great help. The
oil is sprayed on and then carefully
wiped off the outside.

Men Who Show off"
With Their Big Cars
Their Worst Enemies

The owner of a high class auto
mobile who takes great pride in its
performance is often-times the cars
worst enemy.
This is particularly true il he de-
sires to show off" a great deal.
Drivers desiring to show what the
car will do, often clamp the brakes too
fast and needlessly. thus putting a
strain on the car and injuring the tires.
Efficient brakes are essential TO a car.
but they are not playthings.
The same applies to the clutch. The
sudden application of the clutch is bad
on the car and causes the tires to spin
momentarily, thus doing more damage
, than would result through miles of use.
Crossing bad detours at excessive
speed Is another failing. There is no
need for haste and it is certain that
slamming q car through rough spots
will only shorten its life.-Farm Life.

TIMES CHANGE.

When automobiles first became
popular, only the most reckless
pedestrian would start across the

within a block. To-day. men, women
and children dive carelessly into the

trusting their lives to the skill of the
drivers and the efficiency of brakes.
