Buick Motor Runs
Under Stream of Water.

While no motor engine has yet been
designed that will continue to function
under water the Buick motor comes
pretty close to doing It.
The method Of procedure is to secure
the permission of fire department
in city. attach hose to the corner
hydrant and turn the water on. This
was done very recently at Flint Mich,
and when the water was gushing freely
Buick car with the hood removed, so
that the motor was completely exposed,
was driven up and two city firemen
played the hose full on the unprotected
motor. the stream of water falling
from a height of about 100 feet. In spite
Of this giant shower bath. which was
continued for more than five minutes,
the motor kept purring away on all
cylinders, as contentedly as II every
night was Saturday night in its expert
ence.

THOUSANDS SEE
THE NEW STAR CAR
Great Enthusiasm Shown
Over w. C. Durant's New
Low Priced Line.

More than fifty thousand persons
visited the showroom OF the Poertner
Motor Car Company last week to see
the first exhibit in this city Of the Star
car. w. C. Durant's latest creation. II
was the most amazing three days turn
out to see new car in the history Of
the Row. The eager throng examined
the car very carefully and voted 1t a
winner.
There were five different models in the
exhibit together with a stripped chassis
and two stripped frames which demon
strated the tubular backbone" a special
feature of the car preventing wearing
or the frame" The models and prices
We're as follows Touring, $34S, with
seif starter and demountable rims $443 !;
roadster. 1919, with self starter and de-
mountable rims, $414 sedan with self
starter and demountable rims, $645 !:
coupe, with self-starter and demountable
rims, $3.50 and station wagon The
prices are f. o. b. Detroit.
Aside from the touring car none Of
THESE models had been shown previously
anywhere. The touring car was ex-
hibited for one day in Washington. d.
e., on March last, and for four days
In Boston at the time of the Boston
show. An indication of the interest
aroused In this new low-priced car may
De CLEANED from the statement that 27,-
900 persons were attracted to the ex-
hibit In Washington, and more than 26,-
QUO persons saw the car in Boston.
The avalanche of orders which deyel-
oped through these two showings made
IT necessary for the company to with
draw the car from exhibition until such
time as the various Durant factories.
In which the Star car will be produced,
were prepared to meet the demands with
quantity production.
1t was stated at the executive offices
OF Star Motors. Inc, that the corpora
tion now has on hand orders for several
thousand Star cars, most Of which have
come from persons who have not even
seen the car.
The new car is equipped with a Red
Seal Continental motor. Timken rear
axle and Timken bearings throughout.
Spicer universal joints, selective sliding
gear and transmission of conventional
design, with three speeds forward and
one reverse, single plate disc clutch
half elliptic springs underslung, Stewart
vacuum gasoline feed with supply tank
In rear, electric lighting by Standard
generator with storage battery. IL has
streamline, a one-man top and q
wheelbase of 102 inches.

NEW ROAD MAPS
ISSUED BY A. A. A.
Fine Variety Now Obtainable
by Those who Are Plan
ming a Tour.

Every motorist knows the value of a
good road map when touring. To be of
real use such a map should be accurate,
up to date and sufficiently large to per-
NIT the delineation OF all necessary de-
tails in the region covered. Printing
maps in two or more colors often adds
materially to the value Of the finished
product. while the use of strong bond or
ledger paper Is almost essential with
road maps that are certain to be sub
jected to hard usage on the road
An exceedingly large variety Of these
maps is available this season, embrace
ing everything from a transcontinental
map showing all of the principal routes
for cross-country traffic, to series OF
long, narrow srtip maps. each of them
depicting full details with mileages. for
a single, we'll travelled trunk rotue such
as the Boston Post road. All Of the
States in the East are covered by de-
tailed maps, that of New York in part
ticular being exceptionally complete and
attractive.
Not only does this map snow all the
roads that are fit for automobile traffic,
but also it is printed in colors to corre-
spond to che color-band system that has
proven so popular with motorists in that
region. Another new feature which
makes this particular map invaluable
to motorists is that which involves the
location of all the camping sites that
have been established so far in the Adj
rondacks, the Catskills and other sec
tions of the Empire State.
The map of New Jersey is another
which will undoubtedly find favor with
many thousands OF motorists in New
York city and vicinity. This has also
been printed in colors to distinguish
between different types of road surface
such as concrete, nlacadam, gravel and
dirt. Moreover, 1t likewise indicates
those trunk routes in New Jersey that
have been numbered by the state High
way Department.
So many good roads are found on
Long Island, southern Westchester and
suburban New Jersey that it has been
deemed advisable to issue large scale
maps of both Long Island and the met
ropolitan district. These show the loca-
tion of all streets and roads that are
best suited for automobile traffic as
well as golf and country clubs, parks
cemeteries and important landmarks
A complete list OF all the maps pub
lished by this well known organization
of motor car owners may be secured
upon application to the American Auto
mobile Association at sol Fifth avenue,
New York city.

Four Ways Opened to
Serve City With Buses.

There are at least four ways In which
buses may become useful part of the
transportation scheme in New York
city in the opinion of Daniel l.. Turner.
consulting engineer of the Transit Com.
mission of New York speaking before
the truck manufacturers of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce here
yesterday.
He suggested that buses be used for
special route service for segregated
groups. crosstown service, accommoda-
ton OF short haul traffic in congested
areas in place of surface lines and for
auxiliary work to the present subway
and elevated lines in the developments
OF the outlying areas of the city. In
asmuch as the Transit Commission has
not made public its plan for using buses
in its general transit scheme, Mr..
Turner's unofficial remarks are consid-
cred, therefore, of special Significance

New Schlee Spark Plug
Gives Greater Power

The latest spark plug on the market
Is the Schlee, made in Germany and
distributed in this country by the Con-
tinental Automotive Equipment Company
at 912 Seventh avenue.
Several corporations operating large
fleets of trucks are using these plugs
with great success.
With four separate and distinct firing
points an intensive oil and gas burning
heat is insured, and this means greater
power. The plug, which Is leak proof,
has an Austrian stone core sealed at
the top and bottom by copper covered
asbestos gaskets and Will not crack when
subjected to 1900 degrees Fahrenheit.

REQ Speed Wagon Is
a Versatile Vehicle.

AS an example of the versatility Of
the REQ speed wagon George Stowe. gen.
eral manager Of the REQ Motor Car
Company Of New York. has received a
letter from an owner in Bangor. Me-,
telling him of the many uses to which
he has put his car.
In the spring of the year the machine
Is used for towing logs In place of
launch which usually does this work.
The plan has worked excellently because
the owner Is able to tow a boom OF logs
wherever the water is deep enough to
float them. At the present season of
the year the speed wagon is hauling long
lumber with trailer. and the ordinary
load is 1,400 feet of dry boards, or 1000
feet of green timber.
