OLD PIERCE CAR
HITS ROAD AGAIN
'Motorette' Takes Journey II
Made Twenty Years Ago.

A "horseless carriage" which made
the trip from Buffalo TO New York
City in the latter part Of 1902, was
driven into New York city last week
over the same trail covered more than
Il score Of years ago. The carriage
made the trip in five days with the
same driver at the wheel, creating no
end Of comment in the many cities
through which it passed.
Upon its arrival I'm New York City
the driver was greeted by Mayor Hy-
Ian at the city hall, at which stood n
Pierce-Arrow enclosed drive limousine,
the latest product Of the company
which began its career with the pro-
duction OF this 'Motorette" in the
days when the automobile caused
whole countrysides to assemble to
watch its passing and when every
horse from Maine to California left
the highway at the approach of one
of those queer-looIing cOntrivances.
The latest model, it is said, IS able to
cover the five-day journey in fifteen
hours, with complete comfort to the
driver and occupants alike.

FEDERAL COURTS
START CLEAN UP
New Judges Appointed to Re-

Liquor Cases.
BIZ Inifcd Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-An In
tensive drive by the Federal Courts
to clean up the congestion OF liquor
cases with the view of making con-
victions keep pace with arrests, prob
ably Will come out of the conferences
now being held here between Chief
Justice Taft. Attorney General
Daugherty and Federal circuit judges.
AS the first move in the campaign,
President Harding has started TO I'LL
the twenty-one district judgships
which are now vacant. Most OF these
vacancies are among the twenty-four
additional tudgeships created by Con
gress last summer especially TO
handle liquor cases.
Three new judges were named yes
terday.
II the Federal Court can balance
their dockets to the point where they
can handle prohibition cases as fast
as other classes of work, 1t is felt here
that the result would be stricter en-
forcement Of the dry laws and more
severe penalties for violators.
Authorities here agree that one rea-
son there is such continued bold dis
regard of the dry laws is because
offenders at present are ofsen allowed
to go months or years without being
brought to trial

with the highly developed cars seen
on the streets. But. according to c.
c. Hanch. vice president Of the M
tlonal Automobile Chamber Of Com
merco and executive vice president Of
the Lexington Motor Company OF Con
nersvine, there arc still some radical
development to be considered I'm ou-

perfect.
These he enumerates as follows:
Development OF strong. light
metals; also steels and alloys with
high tensile strength.
Designing OF carburetors which
will reduce fuel consumption and also
successfully utilize low grade fuels.
Improvement of brNking and spring
devices.
Building Of more easily manipulated

Advance in headHghting system

Simplilication Of construction in

FARMERS ENTER ARENA

The year 1928 which is at hand and
which is being heralded from every
nook and corner of the globe as the
dawn Of the era of delayed prosperity,
is being marked by experts Of the
automotive world as the promised
year" in the automobile industry. NJ.
L. Heimway, general manager Of the
Motor and Accessory Manufacturers
Association, who is in close touch
with the automobile business, in a
public statement made the following
statements in support of the popular
belief:
l. The renewals OF cars during the
year alone viii require the production
of 100000 cars.
,. The re-entry of the farmer, into
the buying market Will produce
stimulating and extending inluence
on the passenger car and truck sales.
3. Export business, particularly
South American and Far Eastern de
mand, will call for increased produc-
ton.
4. Improved credit conditions viii
contribute largely to the Sterilization
Of sales.
Manufacturers in every part Of the
nation are expecting increased sales
to follow closely upon the heels of the
national Shows and are lining up the
production facilities Of their plants TO
care for spring orders. A large num-
Der of companies have undergone re
financing during the past six months
period and are now in much better
condition to receiv, orders than at
the beginning Of 1922.
Indiana manufacturers, taken by
and large, have passed through the
revamping process with remarkable
success, and though two or three
companies have had TO suspend opera
tons. others have increased their
production and their facilities and ex-
tended sales organizations to the end
that they are in better condition today
than at any previous time.
Studeballer's production, which has
been reflected in the almost un-
precedented increase in the value
Of its stock on the floor OF the New
York exchange. has served to bring
Hoosierdom into the llmelght among
manufacturing States. A neighbor Of
Michigan, Indana's rank in the file
Of the industry has steadily crept to-
ward the top and though 1t may never
quite equal it's sister State, due to
the location OF the bulk of the ma
tons heaviest producers within that
State j. bids fair to maintain = Cop,-
manding position in the industry.

WhiAe continued warm weather is
reported to have slowed up car sales
in some sections of the country where
prospects were waiting for the first
pinch of cold weather before deciding
to trade in the spOrttour for a coupe
or sedan, it is also credited with one
wholesome effect on the industry by
James S. Marvin, head Of the traffic
division of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, who points to
recent drive-aways as a means Of re
leving present freight car shortages.
In the record for drive-aways, 1920,
the number of cars delivered to dealers
and customers over the road was
47O,867 Of a total production of 2,2O5,-
1877. Even in the months Of January
and February of 1920, the number de-
livered by road was 1888 and 43,719
respectively. Transportation by wa
ter is a small factor in the delivery If
finished cars as no more than 5000
are delivered monthly in this man
ner, Mr.. Marvin says.
With continual improvement OF
highways and increased efforts on the
part Of the Federal Government, CO.
operating with the various State high
way commission, to keep the main ar
teries Of travel free from snow haz-
ards, the number of drive-aways is
expected to increase each year, Mr..
MarVin's report continues.

Step on Accelerat0r for
AL Winter D7iUe A1CuyS

Aside from expediting delivery, the
drive-away method of delivery was at
one time regarded as an economy by
factory heads and dealers and was
patronized as freely as conditions per
mitted. Under proper driving, the car
which has been driven to a market
500 miles distant, by all rules of prec,
edent, should be in better condition
when delivered to the customer than
when 1t left the factory, as it is a
known fact that a large per cent of
the motor troubles develop within the
first 500 miles of driving.
Practically every driver is familiar
with the adage that the first 500 miles
are the most trying and most im-
portant to the lite and> care Of an
automobile For this reason the wind
shields Of new cars are invariably
decorated with the sticker bearing
the legend: Caution, do not drive
faster than twenty-five miles per hour
FOR the first 500 miles, In addition
to this is usually appended the no
tice to change oil within that driving
period.
When cars are placed in the hands
of competent mechanics familiar with
the operation of them, and carefully
driven to destination, dealers express
themselves as confident they can de
liver the car in as good if not in bet,
ter mechanical condition than those
delivered by rail.

The Ford Motor Company has just

trucks during the month of Novem-
Der, establishing q November record
for the organization. The accumula-
ted total for the first eleven months
Of the year reached approximately
10000 on Dec. 1.
The Ford factory has produced
more than 100000 cars monthly for
the last eight months and business,
according to a recent report, bids fair
to continue into 1928 unabated.
The Ford plants have been
operating at capacity production
throughout the year and have not
been able more than to keep up with
the demand. said a dispatch. The
November business Of the past year
was practically double that of Novem-
Der Of 1921.
