AMERICAN BANTAM

A combination of hydraulic shock
absorbers and dual range springing
give the new Bantam Super 4"
'road-cling ride" designed to COM
pletely eliminate any 'jounce"
formerly associated with small-car
riding. Dual range springing is self
compensating so that the car rides
smoothly either with or without
loads. This new springing combined
with the new hydraulic shock abb
sorbers makes the car hug the high.

The new "Hillmaster" engine in.

twice the horsepower of the former
American Austin and gives amazing
hill-climbing ability, lack of which
was formerly a major obstacle to
small car sales.

Thanks to unusual activity by
that part of the automotive industry
which concentrates on making cold
weather motoring easier and more
enjoyable. the motorist faces the
coming winter with confidence which
would have been subject to ridicule
not so many years ago. If winter
comes, as cold mornings have
already forecast, fewer motorists will
be pinning all their hopes on the
springtime that follows. This year
the well equipped motorist will take
winter for what it is and enjoy it.
This view of the cold motoring
season is due not merely to the
offerings of so many new heating
and air-conditioning systems, but
to a number of new safeguards
which shock absorb the usual dan
gers of motoring when streets and
roads are treacherous. Winter, in
its broadest sense, is being attacked
in one major offensive which should
result in no end of permanent VIC
tories for those who have formerly
set forth in the cold with justi-
fable misgivings.
In support of this contention are
such innovations as windshield
wipers for the rear windows of those
extremely streamlined jobs which
tend to hold snow at the rear. These
wipers are easily installed and op-
crate from engine vacuum the same
as the conventional wipers foi the
windshield. An indestructible wiper
blade is a welcome offering. 1t is
not affected by oil from those
miscellaneous rags which filling sta
ton men use to clean of the glass.

New StreumIined Travel
Service Announced

The Keystone Automobile Club
has announced a new streamlined
travel service in the form of COM
pletely modernized highway route
cards, the result of two years of in
tensive work by the clubs touring
bureau and drafting department,
both of which had been augmented
for the purpose. AS a result. Key
stone now has available more than
800 entirely new route cards or
strip" maps.
The streamlined maps contain an
accurate altitude graph, historical
data and a revised system of printed
running directions which include
both accumulating mileage-total
distance between starting point and
point of destination-and mileage
between speedometer readings, usu-
ally taken at every town and impor-
tant intersection or change of route.
Symbols indicating official club
hotels, garages, gas stations, cabin
camps and the like are used.

Anniversary Of Kier,
Oil Pioneer, Observed

The 125th anniversary of the birth
of Samuel Martin Kier, whose early
experiments in the manufacture Of a
medicine from petroleum led to the
development of modern oil refining
processes, was celebrated last month.
Mr.. Kier, generally accredited as
the first petroleum refiner, in his
earliest experiments attempted to
transform crude petroluem into a
medicine of almost unbelievable
curative powers. Later he laid down
the foundations of modern oil re-
f1ning in a search for method of
producing an Illuminating oil from
petroleum to compete with "coal
oir'; still later he worked on the
development of a lubricating oil.
Mr.. Kier's early experiments be-
gan about 1850, even before the drill
ing of the Drake we'll in Pennsyl-
vania. and his first refining still,
which had a capacity of about one
barrel day, was perfected several
years before the Drake we'll began
the commercial production of pc
troleum in America
Mr.. Kier died in 1874, having con-
tributed materially toward the de-
velopment of the refining industry
in Pennsylvania. From his one-bar-
rel refining still, designed to pro-
duce Illuminating and lubricating oil,
have grown the giant refining plants
of the present petroleum industry,
plants some of which process daily
as much as 10000 barrels of crude
oil and from which flow the highly
refined petroleum products de-
manded by motorists and by other
domestic and industrial consumers.

CADILLAC

For its 38th year of operation
Cadillac presents five series of cars
for 1910 in 80 body types. Starting
with the 81, which is available in
both coupe and touring sedan ver-
sions, the line extends to the so
special, which is a further refine
ment of the Cadillac which started
such a vogue last year. Width of
the front seat, however, has been
increased 6 inches over last years

out division, with a sunshine roof
optional. This touring sedan special
is available only without running
boards.

of the new models leads me to be-
lieve that sales for the year 1910
will show another healthy increase
over those of 1885,
There are two reasons for this
belief. The first is that employ
ment in all parts of the country is
increasing and whatever affects the
rest of the country affects Washing
ton. Increased Employment. which
Government statistics and press dis
patches show, means more money
for every purpose and still more
employment to supply the demands
of this increased expenditure.
More Value Offered.
The second reason is the vast
improvements made in the new 1910
automobiles. Comfort, luxury, ease
of handling. reliability, appearance,
in every price range, have been
improved. Even the least expensive
of the new models offers luxury
that was undreamed of few years
ago. Only the vast resources of
the American automobile industry
could offer cars like these at the
prices that are asked for the new
models-prices, in most instances,
even below those of last year.
National Picture Bright.
In the national fields I do not
believe that the European War will
have any effect on the industry
this year. Most of the large Ameri-
can manufacturers have their own
plants in Europe and manufacture
over there for European consump-
ton. But increased prosperity in
the United States and in South
America, both of which are indi-
Gated now, mean better business
because South America uses Ameri-
can cars almost exclusively.
Washington businessmen are vi
tally interested in the trend of au-
tomobile business here in the Capt.
tal 1t is we'll known fact that
the automobile business is an au-
thoritative barometer of business
conditions. In Washington as goes
the auto trade so goes the balance
of business. Therefore it would
seem that business as whole is
due to follow the upswing of the
automotive industry in the Capital
this year.

tiOnS of dealers-the men who staged
the annual shoWs-kept pace with
the Improvements in the automo-
biles by making each years show a
little better-a little bigger-a little
more spectacular than that of the
year before The Washington Auto

I have the honor to be manager has
done everything possible to keep
pace with this idea.
And this year We come to the
public of Washington again with

best" in many particulars because
of the new features that have been
added. The show is located at Riv-
erside Stadium, 26th street between
Constitution avenue and D streets
NV, and will continue through Oc-
tober %.
New Decorative Scheme.
We have new decorative scheme,
known as "Colors Internationale,"
which utilizes the flags of all ma
tions. I think every one who has
seen it agrees that this color scheme,
together with the arrangement of
the stadium, offers an ideal setting
for the beautiful new 1910 automo-
biles.
True. many of the cars, if not all
of them, have already appeared on
the streets, but this show offers an
opportunity to see them all to-
gether, under the same favorable
conditions, and to compare them
without the necessity of travelling
from one showroom to another.
Queen to Be Elected.
Another new feature, and one
that is attracting plenty of atten-
ton, is the decision to elect a queen
of the auto show. A galaxy of WASH
ington lovelies are vieing for this
honor, and with good cause-because
the queen will be crowned on the
last night of the show and will be
presented with 1910 automobile.
Voting will continue until o'clock
Saturday night and then special
group of tabulators will finish the
count and the queen will be crowned
and presented with the new car.
Again this year We will present q
number of entertainment features.

| Reversed Gear Shift
For Left-Honded
| Drivers Forecast

There is a good temptation to
reach through the steering
wheel to shift the modern COL
umn gear control, but don't
yield to it. Keep your right
hand under or to the side of the
wheel. If your hand is put
through the wheel. and if the
car has to be swung into turn
during the shifting process,
there is good chance of catch
ing your fingers or your hand.
Speaking of the new position
of the gear shift lever advances
the prediction that before long
We may expect to see a reversed
steering column shift for those
who are left-handed. 1t is the
logical opportunity to cater to
those who have for years found
right-hand shifting contrary to
their natural inclinations.

Automobile Costs
Less Per Pound
Than Butter

Regardless of the cost of liv-
ing the cost per pound for your
automobile is again on the up
ward side of the curve, after
steady decline since 1925. The
low point was reached in 1885,
when pound of automobile
cost only slightly over 2312 cents
in the United States. In 1886
the cost rose to $238 and by
1898 had reached $267. Back in
1925 it was $.427 a pouno.
While on the uptrend, your
car still costs less per pound
than butter. Steak is a luxury
by comparison. Even more i'm
pressive is the markdown in
horsepower cost. In 1925 it was
s31.5 per horsepower, while in
1888 it stands at $9.3.
