FIRST LONG RADIO
TOUR UNDER WAY
Two Cars Will Make Cross
Continent Trip With Full
Equipment.

The Lincoln Highway was selected as
the route for Americas first cross coun-
try radio tour which left Detroit re-
Gently. sponsored by the Lincoln High
way Association, Detroit Board OF Com
merce and the Detroit Automobile Club.
Again a pioneer run follows Americas
Main Street" The Lincoln way was
the only route to the Pacific coast which
the promoters of the first radio tour
would undertake in view of the delicate
radio equipment they carry, and the only
route which 1t was felt possible to
traverse on a definite schedule which
would permit the equipment to be on the
dot in the communities on the itinerary.
The two Rickenbacker cars, radio
equipped, which are journeying from De-
troit to San Francisco, hit the Lincoln
Highway at Ligonier. Ind, and win fol-
low II through without deviation to the
Pacific coast. They will let the NATION
know that Detroit is not only the auto
mobile capital of the world but now
boasts more radio manufacturers than
any other city in the country. They
were officially started on their $500 mile
run by Eddie Rickenbacker.
The radio cars, which are sedans. are
equipped with exceptionally powerful
and sensitive radio receiving sets. Com
pactly built on to the top Is a 200 foot
loop aerial. Carried on the running
board of each car is an emergency aerial
which may be attached to the car and
stretched out to a high point 200 or
more feet away. This aerial is for use
when unfavorable atmospheric condi-
tions cut into the satisfactory operations
OF the loop. The radio receiving set is
built into the car. 1t comprises three
steps of radio frequency amplifcation. a
vacuum tube detector and three steps of
audio frequency amplification. giving it
SUFFICIENT sensitiveness to permit the
crowds who gather about the car at the
points along the Lincoln Highway to
hear concerts through the Magnavox
loud speaker from stations as far away
as 1000 miles

MAXWELL PLANS CALL
FOR BIG EXPANSION

Although local officials Of the Max
we'll Motor Car Corporation continue to
refuse to be quoted on the subject, II
is known from unquestionable sources
that its recent efforts to bid in the huge
property OF the WHY'S Motor Car Cor
poration at Elizabeth. N. j.. was simply
another step in well defined development
plans of the corporation both for domes-
tic and foreign business.
The acquisition by Maxwell OF the
Willys plant. which was finally sold to
the Durant Motor Car Company. would
have added thirty-seven acres OF factory
property to the six large plants which
the concern already owns and operates
in Detroit, Dayton. New Castle. Ind,
and Windsor, Ont.
The spirited bidding of the Durant
and the Maxwell forces is indicated by
the fact that the Maxwell offer was only
slightly under the Durant purchase price
of $5,525,000. A third party. said to
have been acting for General Motors.
entered the bidding. but retired with a
reported offer of approximately s4.500,-
900.
Occupying thirty-seven acres of
ground, the property includes a factory
building with a floor space of 1885,
600 square feet. a baseball park and
garage. all of which represent an esti-
mated investment in the neighborhood
of $11,00o.0O0.
The WHY'S company went into the
hands of receiver seven months ago
and the United States District Court
ordered the sale of the Elizabeth plant
to satisfy creditors. Charles S. Gerth,
the auctioneer first called for bids for
the properties in part, but Joseph p.
Day. representing the Durant interests
was the only bidder offering s2,000,O0O
for the factory building. $4,000 for the
baseball park and 100000 efor the
garage After these bids were in the
factory property as a whole was offered,
which provoked the spirited competi-
ton of Durant and Maxwell In the bid
ding.
AS II Is, without the WHY'S property,
Maxwell plants cover an area of more
than 200 acres with approximately
10000 square feet of floor space.

READY TO BUILD THE
NEW ZEDER MOTOR CAR

II will be but a short time now be-
fore the production OF the much talked
OF Zeder motor car becomes a reality
according to F. r. Bump. Now York
manager of the Cleveland Tractor Com
pany. who has just returned from a trip
to headquarters in Cleveland. The nec-
essary additions to the tractor plant
and the machinery as well as the tool
equipment for car production are under
stood to be we'll under way.
The Aliyne-Zeder Motors Company
which Is to build the new Zeder car, Is
a merger OF some OF the largest finan-
cial interests in motor car circles with
the Cleveland Tractor Company. a
going corporation with S50oo000 capital
ization and a modern plant at Cleve-
land. Ohio. which has ample facilities
both in equipment and personnel to un-
dertake car production on a volume
basis promptly and efficiently.
Reorganization plans are being
headed by Clement Studebaker. Jr.. and
Col George Studebaker. both of whom
were formerly associated with the
Studebaker Corporation as officials and
directors. Their close connection with
the new Zeder proposition is particu-
larly significant after an absence from
the automotive field for over five years.
They will join hands with Rollin H.
White. president of the Cleveland Trac-
tor Company, and E. e. Allyne. former
head of the Aluminium Castings Com
pany and at present director. Both
of these men bring large financial sup
port and unusual experience and ability
in automotive production to the new
venture.

necessary to take out bond. which
will cost about $40 and can be obtained
at Meyers & Co.. in Rouses Point. There
are few formalities In crossing the line.
and both American and Canadian Of
ficers are most courteous.
From this point on the route passes
through a number OF small villages.
most of the inhabitants of which are
French Canadians. The ST. Lawrence
Is crossed via the Victoria Bridge to-
Montreal, 410 miles from New York4
city
Interesting short trips can be made
about Montreal. Mount Royal Park ss
one. Hotel accommodations are of the
best. and IL is a delightful place in
which 10 spend several days.
From Montreal to Quebec is 1s5 miles
OF hard surface in good condition and a
most delightful trip. as the road runs on
high ridge overlooking the st. Law
renee all the way and passes through
numerous quaint French villages. Que
bee is one OF the most historic cities OF
this continent. Quebec is the foremost
in Canada in the Improvement of it's
highways and since 1912 has con-
structed 1900 miles of macadamized
roads, and innumerable automobile tours
can be planned into either a beautiful
pastoral countryside or into wild. roman-
tic scenery tenanted only by wild game.
Among the many that can be men-
toned are the beautiful drives to Ste.
Anne de Beaupre. with its famous won-
der working shrine, twenty-six miles
from Quebec.
If one has time. the popular and fa-
vorite trip from Quebec is by boat up
the Saguenay River on palatial
steamboat that leaves Quebec at
o'clock every Sunday morning. returning
TO Quebec on Wednesday, 5 80 p. NJ,
The trip including stateroom and meals,
costs SIS person.
The return trip from Quebec can be
made by retracing to Montreal and back
to New York. or one can cross the st.
Lawrence to Lewis and go down through
Jackman into the State OF Maine and re-
turn through the White Mountains or
the Boston post road

CLOSE TO THE ROAD
IS A SAFETY SLOGAN

Riding comfort and security depend
largely on how near the road the car
swings" says George S. Morrow. presi-
dent of the Morrow Motors Corporation,
distributor Of Earl and Templar auto
mobiles. with headquarters at 1851
Broadway.
"One hears much these days about a
cars ability to hold the road and II
is one of the most important things for
the prospective owner to consider. A
car must be built low TO do this thing
properly. Many automobiles built only
a few years ago were in some instances
almost top-heavy. When you pass one
Of these veterans notice how high the
passengers are perched. These cars
were not safe at high speed.
"The height over all of the Earl GUS
tom roadster with two passengers Is
only seventy-one inches: the touring car
without passengers only seventy-three
inches; the brougham and sedan only
seventy-four inches. Yet the inside
height from cushions to top is very
ample, averaging thirty-seven inches
These are measurements that should be
considered carefully when one is buying
car"

INCREASED TRUCK
ORDERS AT HAND
Ford Company Prepares for
Big Orders in Light De-
livery Type.

The demand for motor trucks. espe-
cially in the one ton size and In the swift
moving light delivery type, is keeping
pace with the exceptional demand for
passenger cars according to the sales
records of the Ford Motor Company of
New York.
While the June demand for Ford
passenger cars has exceeded orders for
immediate delivery totaling more than
$4,000, the demand for the one ton
truck chassis and for the light delivery
chassis is proportionateiy equal when
balance is taken between the normal
demand for passenger cars and that
for commercial vehicles
The Ford dealers throughout the ter
ritory under direction of the News Y ork
branch are making plans for a larger
delivery of commercial cars during June
and July than has ever been made be-
fore in an equal period in the history OF
the company.
All dealers in Ford cars are carrying
heavy advance orders for commercial
chassis in order to make satisfactory
delivery to purchasers.
According 10 CASTOR Plaintiff. Eastern
representative of the Ford Motor Com
pany. this demand is a part of the re-
turn of general industrial conditions to
the basis of applied economics. Mr..
Plaintiff says "By, far the greater pro-
portion of hauling requirements are
covered by the one ton track chassis
and the light delivery chassis with the
capacity Of 1000 lbs. Motor truck
buyers are taking into consideration the
average load hauled and are seeking to
avail themselves of every opportunity
to keep their trucks running steadily at
somewhere near the average rate OF
load capacity.
| Analysis of the service obtained from
the light delivery chassis ana one ton
truck discloses the fact that in prac-
tically every case where such service
has been installed the operating ef-
ficiency of the delivery hauling depart.
ment has been increased. and the result
has been widely enlarged fields of
profitable operation in which the busi-
ness using the service can develop new
outlets.

STANDARD 8 AMAZES
VETERAN CAR OWNER

Referring to a new model "9S" Stand
ard Eight. which he drove from Pitts
burgh to New York city recently, c. NJ
kirkpatrick Of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Company wrote
to the Standard Motor Car Company:
You should call 1t a miracle car
because not only did 1t roll up every
grade in the Allegheny Mountains in
high, and with ease, but we had more
oil in our tank at the finish of the trip
than when we left Pittsburgh. or at
least there was no indication of any
being consumed
In a further reference to the exclusive
airplane fabrication system, as applied
TO the Standard Eight. he said: DE
spite hot weather and stsep mountain
roads the motor never gave an indica-
ton Of overheating.'

Incidentally. the exhibition consti-
tuted another first on record for Poert-

 Dancing predomnated In the cur rent show that opened at Loew's s Bdjou Monday night. Jokes were few and singing was practically nil, aside from a few novelty attempts. Some of the dancing was reasonably good.
 Yonie and Fujl opening, presented a musical exhibition on rings and mat. They had a few fairly difficult feats. Collins and Dunbar ran to costumes and dancing. with nov city song or two. They had few good steps and eked out a good act with indifferent material.
 Evans and Pearl. with burlesque of married life. which a few in the audience evidently took to be less of a travesty than intended, started the house laughing. Their bellicose an tics were heavy at times. but both members of the company consistently worked for laughter.
 Nelson and Bailey brought the show back to It's dancing stride again. They burlesqued few steps and one member of the team did de- gently well with mmics of Pat Rooney and George Primrose. al- though his best was the Rooney imi- tation.
 Freds circus filled the closing spot. One of the pups went bolshevik and bolted the ring. but the others and the white pony performed better. The customary mule riding stunt at end brought the usual amount of laughter. This mule had mean face
