REAR ENGINED AUTOS
NOT A NEW IDEA
Old Machines frequently Had
Motor in Back, Says Society Of
Automotive Engineers.

-. AS with many other so-called innova-
lions the advent Of the rear-engined
automobile Is not so new as it seems.
In the beginning of the industry, says
the historical department Of the Society
OF Automotive Engineers, the engine
was frequently put in the rear of the
car or under the back seat. In the
early roadSters it was made readily
accessible by the mere lifting Of the
rear deck or the opening of the body
tail gate. Single-cylinder engines were
mounted this way SO that the spark
plug and carburetor could be easily
reached. Then came the double-op-
posed engine, the rear cylinder occupy
ing the usual position while the oppos-
ing cylinder stretched forward hori-
zontally under the body.
IN those days of the curved dash and
the Slantlng hood, the radiator was
mounted low down in front of the body
or set up. only slightly into the hood In
way that would not interfere with
the sloplng line which in those days
Finally, in the evolution of the racing
car, where the engine had to be ac-
cesslDle and the radiator occupied a
prominent place in the rapid cooling
OF the mechanism, the idea Of the
unoercar or rear mounting was given
up ana the entire power plant mounted
frankly and fully in front of the driver.
AT that time the protest of the public
was as great as the change from front
10 rear engine mounting would seem to
be nov, say the veterans. 1t took four

tonneau and that high doors In front
as well as in back would be fully as
safe as the open front=entrance cars OF

ropean coachwork and custom bodies,
but it will also compare them with the
American designs for 1882. The occa-
sion will be the opening Of the annual
Automobile Salon. This year the in
itial presentation Is being switched
back to New York from Chicago, where
the opening has been held for the last
two seasons.
For the first time the American salon
is officially sanctioned by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
which is equivalent to sponsorship by
the entire industry. Cooperating in
the recognition are the Automobile
Merchants Association of New York
and the Chicago Automobile Trade As
ISOLATION for the Chicago session. sched-
uled for National Show week In the lat
ter city.
Many New Appliances.
The list Of gadgets and new ap-
planes that win give better control
and add to safety in the new models
Is frightening. One is the cold intake
which General Motors has introduced
on the Bucks. A door in the hood,
the carburetor, which Is said to be 80
degrees cooler than the air under the
hood.
Because gasoline lines have been
found to heat unduly under certain
conditions, the fuel tubing from the
tank forward is now placed on the
outside instead Of the inside Of the
frame, which also acts as o cooler.
Between the frame and the fuel pump
there is an insulating LOOM" It COW
ers the fuel line and prevents engine
heat from radiating into the gasoline.
Change Necessitated.
This change has been necessitated
by the numerous highest and other
extra-price fuels, which last year were
not well graded nor suited to some
engines.
Another new accessory is q reflex
light for the rear end. When the
headlights Of a car behind shine on
the reflex light, 1t returns q beam that
can be seen for 500 feet. The use Of
crystal prisnnS in the reflex light makes
this possible and provides greater driv-
ing safety for the car ahead and the
one behind
Windshield wipers now are operated
from the fuel pump mechanism, using
vacuum from that source instead Of
the manifold. By the new method
mere positive operation is given with
out slowing down on hills or at high
engine speed.

CITIES UNIFYING
LAWS ON MOTORING
Municipalities Along With States
Now Working Toward This
Objective, Says A. A. A.

While the greatest progress toward
the goal OF uniform motor vehicle laws
Is being made by the states, cities and
towns also are changing their regula.
tons with this objective, according to
the D. G. Division of the American
Automobile Association.
The Association pointed out that the
Model Municipal Trafic Ordinance,
drafted by the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety, has been
adopted to date In whole or substan-
tlal part by Al cities in addition to the
cities and towns In New Jersey and
Wisconsin whose ordinances are uni
form through State laws.
The essential part of the model or
dinance," said the A. A. A. statement,
consists of the sections dealing with
matters strictly within the province of
municipal traf6c regulation, such as
authority Of police, designation of
croSS-walks, safety zones, trafac lanes
and prohibition Of left turns, restric-
lions on loading or unloading In GER
tain places, regulation Of stopping and
parking Of buses and taxicabs, parking
prohibitions and restrictions applying
to all traffic, designation Of through
and one-way streets, limitations on
turning around and backing. All of
the above need to be covered by or
dinance or regulation in each munich
pality and are not generally suitable
to be dealt with by State law" The
statement continued:
Among the cities whose ordinances
are recognized as being substantially in
harmony with the model ordinances
are: Berkeley, Los Angeles. San Fran
cisco. San Jose. California; Pensacola,
Florida; Savannah, Georgia; Alton and
Chicago, Illinois; Evansville, Fort
Wayne, Indianapolis, Marion, Rush
vile and Terre Haute, Indiana; Daven-
port and Fort Dodge, Iowa; Topeka,

A. NJ. A. ENDORSES
ROAD BOND ISSUE
Association Urges Step to Aid
Highway Program and
Unemployed.

Endorsement of a low rate. long
term, Federal bond issue to be ex-
pended in the speeding up of the
Nations Federal-aid highway construc-
ton program, and at the same time
afford immediate employment to a
part of the 100000 unemployed, was
urged this week by the Legislative Com
mittee of the American Motorists As
ISOLATION.
such program has been tentatively
proposed by Senator Norris (Republi-
CAM of Nebraska and Senator Thomas
(Democrat) of Oklahoma" it is pointed
out by Thomas ]. Keefe, general man
ager Of the association. THE proposed
$4,000, 100000 long-term Federal bond
f1otation for highway construction will
meet with the unqualified support Of
the millions of motorists throughout
the country.
Need Of Highways.
1.-THE need for more highways.
coupled with the necessity of finding
mployment-rather than charity-for
the Nations army of unemployed,
makes this the propitious time for such
Federal legislation" Mr.. Keefe declares.
ut would do much toward the stabili-
Zation of business, the restoration Of
confidence and is urgently needed at
costs, from a material and labor stand
point, are less today than at any time
for several years.
Elimination Of grade crossings,
which annually take toll Of more than
1000 lives and millions In property
damage, is going forward at a snail
pace. During the fiscal year, ending
June 80, 1881, only 683 grade crossings
were eliminated on the Federal-aid
highway system. During the first seven
months of this year 1893 accidents oc-
CURED at railroad highway crossings
This represents a tremendous economic
waste. Elimination of grade crossings
is the only positive means of reducing
this heavy toll of human life and prop
erty. No better use could be employed
for q part Of this proposed 81, 1000, 0oo.-
600 bond issue than to speed up the
grade-crossing elimination program.
Traffic Control Factors.
1.-THE control of traffic accidents,
which last year cost $4,000 lives and
hundreds of millions In property dam
age, evolves primarily on three factors:
First, and foremost, is engineering, Sec
ond is law enforcement, and third, edu-
cation. Engineering, the most impor-
tant OF the trio of factors, Is primarily
matter Of highway funds. Our high
way engineers are competent, but lack
funds to correct highway defects. To
what better purpose could capital be
employed than to give needed jobs for
necessary highway work that would
mean a saving of human life? The
proposed legislation is imperative and
should receive the whole-hearted sup
port of Congress-" the associations
statement concludes.

RANKS OF MULTIPLE POWER
PRODUCERS TO BE AUGMENTED
New York to Compare European Coach
work and Custom Bodies With 1882
American Designs.

Special Dispatch &c The Star.
DETROIT, November 21.-Pierce-
Arrows plans to enter the multiple
power field with two 12-cylinder en-
gines definitely widenS the 1882 line
up in this division. This modern power
plant development was inaugurated by
Cadillac and Marmon with the advent
Of 16-cylinder models.
Official Reports Unavailable.
Although Official reports are not
available as yet, it is certain that the
ranks Of the multiple power producers
are to be augmented by two and pos
sibly three more companies before
January /. Two Of the new products
will be "twelves," with the plans for a
third still undecided.
This means that the de luxe cars
above the eight-cylinder horsepower
rating and exceeding $500 In price are
to be set in e class above and apart
from the remainder of the lineup.
This trend also will widen the scope of
custom body building and fine coach
work and is due to expand and utilize
facilities which bcdy manufacturers al
ready have established
1t will take cale OF demand already
foreseen for "tailormade" bodies on
cars Of high price. This changing
phase Of the business in recent develop
ment has brought the Fleetwood d.
vision Of Cadillac from Fleetwood, Pa,
to Detroit. At the same time it has
built up the Lebanon division of the
Briggs Co. SO that two plants are re-
quired instead of one, and has increased
the production capacity of Dietrich
Inc, which is the custom body end OF
the Murray Corporation.
Termed Industrial Revolution.
This expansion has anticipated what
Walter Dorwin league, noted designer,
has termed the industrial revolution, by
which the handicrafts are being turned
into mass production. Mr.. league, it
will be recalled, created new shapes and
new colors for the country's largest pro-
Queer of cameras. He likewise has ap-
piled his talent to improving other new
products of the machine age and is
represented in the automobile field by
the body design Of the Marmon "16."
New interest, generated in the past
two years, has led the American body
builders to send representatives abroad
m quest Of new ideas. Each year they
visit the Paris Salon de pAutomobile
and the Olympia Show in London to
view the European cars and the bodies
that have been built to carry the aris-
tocracy in regal style.

Every one who motors runs a risk Of
being gassed by carbon monoxide.
This is the timely warning issued by
students Of this insidious form OF DEATH
dealing poisoning, broadcast in effort
to curb the belief that victims OF auto
mobile exhaust fumes are excessively
careless. It is pointed out In the anti
cote for this too-popular form OF rea-
soning that even an apparently slight
oversight might expose one to this haz-
ard.
mildly Careless"
"Too many motorists hold to the
belief that victims Of carbon monoxide
are either suicides or grossly ignorant
persons" states an authority on the
subject. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Many people who are vic
timized by this gas have been merely
mildly careless"
He mentioned the number Of people
who open only one door of the private
garage, on the theory that this Is sufh-
cient to ventilate the interior, while at
the same time not shilling it too much.
An investigation Showed many thou
sands of garage doors with telltale
marks of carbon, showing that even in
such cases owners had opened the wrong
door. Many drivers keep the doors closed
until the engine has been started, one
of the most hazardous practices known
to motoring.
The story is told Of q woman who
wanted to take special precautions and
to this end opened not only the large
doors, but also a small door leading to
the walk to the house. Her idea was to
obtain o good draft to clear the ga
rage Of exhaust fumes as she started
the motor. Instead the wind currents
were such as to suck the fumes into the
garage.
Many drivers do not realize that their
risk would be greately lessened If they
took more pains to keep the garage
warmer. This calls for replacing broken
window paneS and sealing cracks, eSpe-
Cially the large ones under the doors.
1t is not necessary to have heat in the
garage for quick starting Of a modern
engine, provided the motor is equipped
with a heater. but having the interior
heated is double protection against fatal
delay in getting the car out into the
open. Just one Of the details in the
battle against monoxide is to delay
cranking on cold morning as long as
possible, on the theory that the garage
will warm up as the sun rises In the
sky.
Closed Garage Peril.
Every year number of persons are
killed while performing service oper-
atoms on the car N a closed garage. It
does not appear to be generally known
that while it is preferable from scien-
tif1c standpoint To adjust carburetor
with the engine hot and running, any
owner who takes the trouble to under
stand the adjustments can obtain q
richer mixture for a start before
stepping on the starter. One of the
worst things to do Is to attempt to
make an adjustment of the brakes, or
any work under the car, after coming
into the garage at night. Even though
the engine is switched off within a rea-
sonable time after entering consider
able gas fumes will cling around the
floor.
Adjusting valve tappets always is
dangerous procedure in any closed
place, If the engine is run periodically
to keep the valves hot. This is tedious
work that requires considerable time,
and If the owner is not careful he will
