White Streak Car
Mysti6es Crowds
Mitchell Stunt Automobile
Performs Amazing Feats
OF Mind"

Mystery demonstrations" have
become the vogue as competition in
the automotive field grows keener.
Press reports recently tell of cars
that talk. that see, that obey the
| commands of persons not in them
as though they were under a
magic spell.
L. D. Reed, a driver of one of
the now famous Mitchell White
Streaks, which are operating
throughout the United States, is
the inventor of one of the latest
stunts which is entertaining and
puzzling the motoring public of
Boston.
Reed drives his car into a crowd
ed section of the city, throttles IL
| down to a very slow speed in high
gear and then jumps out and runs
ahead of it. This car follows him
like pet dog. While the populace
is still gaping he turns about,
faces his car and commands it to
stop. which il does with uncanny
promptness. He then commands
the car to follow him again, and
to the astonishment of everyone
there is whir of the starting
motor and the White Streak starts
to crawl, after him. The headlights
blink on and Off at a word. The
! klaxon sounds warning auto
matically If anybody intrudes on
the right of way. To all intents
and appearances it is an automo-
bile actuated by human intelli-
| gence.
Reed laughingly admits that his
demonstrate is trickery. but he
refuses to reveal his method of op-
| Grafton, and so far no one has dis
| covered his secret.
A demonstrating car in the same
city. operated by competitive firm,
Is almost as well trained. This car
apparently can talk and see. If.a
modern "happer" type of girl passes
oy mis- car starts shameless fiirta-
tion by calling out some such
greeting as Pretty, Pretty"
with these two examples to start
with the future holds promise of
much that is novel and unusual.

Automobile Most
Durable Conveyor
Sales Chief Compares Motor
Car With Other Mechani-
cal Devices.

There is no other mechanical
device in the world so durable as
the motor car" declares J. I. Far
ley, e-president and sales mana
ger of the Auburn Automobile Co.
Compare the automobile with a
locomotive" said Farley. IF you
should put the locomotive on a
track as rough as the roads the
motor car must travel over 1t would
not last a month. The same Is
true of the steamer. the airplane
and every other form Of trans
portation. Drive the old-fashioned
road wagon at the rate Of speed
an automobile must make and it
would scatter itself along the road :
side before a single days travelling
was finished.
But the motor car must not
only stand rough roads, it must
go from thirty to fifty miles an
than the fastest horse
ever traveled-and it must do it
day after day, month after month.
summer and winter.
IN fact, it is almost impossible
TO realize at times that We are able
to turn out motor cars which stand
up day after day under the con-
tI'+ions they must face. Just the
NIer day we received a letter
I. .om an Auburn owner who had
driven his car $4,000 miles and he
had spent just sl5.46 in repairs!
Compare such durability with any
other mechanical device"

With q hard right hand to the jaw,
Wills flattened Jackson for the count
after two minutes and fifty seconds of
the third round.
Jackson, frightened pale when he
entered the ring. did nothing but hold
and he failed to land a blow that
changed the smile that Wills wore
all during the bout.

with two terrific rights to the jaw.
He crouched in AFFECT terror for the
remainder of the round and Wills

Piledriver blows at the beginning

at the beginning of the third round.
He tried to hang on but Wills beat
his arms down and dropped him to
the floor. Jackson lay quivering while
the refereee counted him out.
Wills did most OF his fighting at
close range, but broke cleanly when
ordered.
