Well-designed Small Car That Has
Attracted Exceptional Atten
tion at Large Shows
Robert L. Morton, manager of the
Keystone Motor Company, announces
the selling agency for the Saxon mo
i tor car. This little car sells for $395,
equipped with lamps, top, adjustable
windshield, baggage box, tools and tire
kit. The special features ot this car
are as follows: Handsome design,
left drive, center control, high speed,
long stroke motor, 5 to 40 miles per
hour. Pistons and other reciprocat
ing parts light, but very strong;
vacuum splash oiling system; large
axle reduction with high speed motor;
low cost of upkeep; light weight; can
tilever spring suspension; molded
oval fenders; streamline body; large,
comfortable seat; simplicity of de
sign; vanadium steel used in many
parts; wire wheels; sliding rear trans
mission; asbestos lined; dry plate disc
clutch; large carrying compartment
at rear adjustable, ventilating wind
shield. rattle-proof.
At the New York show 4,250 Saxon
cars wwere allotted, and Mr. Morton
reports that dealers actually waited
in line to see Salesmanuger Jamison.
Seventy-eight retail sales were made.
At Chicago the success was dupli
cated. Although not represented at
the show, 1,057 cars were sold in one
day and 61 demonstrations were made
from the salesroom. The Chicago ot
iice maintained an average of one car
sold every fifteen minutes during show
week, according lo H. W. Kord, presi
dent of tho Saxon Motor Car Com
pany.
Although (ho majority of the stock i
is held by men connected with the
Chalmers Motor Company, tho two
corporations are entirely separate and
distinct. The officers arc:
11. W. Ford, president and general!
manager: G. W. Dunham, vice-presi
dent; L. R. Seaife, secretary and treas-1
urer; H. M. Wirth, purchasing agent; i
C. C. Cross, factory manager; C. K.
Jamison, sales manager; R. E. Cole,
chief engineer.
The Saxon motor car is exception
ally clean-cut and businesslike in ap
pearance. It Is of the "L"-head typo!
with fully enclosed valves. Cylinders i
are. 2% -inch boro by 4-inch stroke. I
The four cylinders and tho crank easel
aro made in ono casting, giving a very!
compact motor and making possible I
great economies in manufacture.!
Even the intake and exhaust mani-1
folds are cast integral with the cylin-.
ders. A water-jacketed head, fitting*
over the entire cylinder block, is eas-;
ily removable and gives ready access 1
to the cylinders and valves.
Pistons are very light but exception
ally strong. This lightness in the re
ciprocating parts makes this motor
practically free from vibration.
The crank shaft is of special drop,
forged steel, of unusual size, and is j
carried On two bronze, babbitt-lined
bearings. The cam shaft is also of i
drop forged special steel with large
cams forged integral. The cam shaft'
is carried on two plain bearings and:
driven by helical gears.
This motor is notable for its quiet,'
smooth operation and for its flexibility, i
The body, which is exceptionally j
large and roomy, is of the genuine'
streamline type, from the tapered bon- !
net at the front to the capacious bag- :
gage box at the rear. The body lines
are smooth and harmonious, giving a
very pleasing appearance.
These bodies are of sheet steel and I
wood construction. The floor of the
body is of pressed steel—a very eco
nomical and durable construction. The
frame of the car itself forms the bot
tom of the body, another feature of
economical design.
The Saxon spring suspension is of
the cantilever type, a new feature for
American cars. By this method the
body is suspended between the axles
rather than over them, permitting the
use of a longer wheel base than would
be possible with other types of springs.
This unusual spring suspension is
chiefly responsible for the easy riding
of the car—one of the most striking
qualities of the Saxon.
Mr. Morton has assurance that a i
carload of these Saxon cars will be'
here between the first and tenth of
next month.
What if Napoleon or
Hannibal, Had Electrics?
Settling any question of hill-climb
ing abilities of the electric vehicle,
an electric bus service has b>»en estab
lished across the Alps from Airolo,
Switzerland, to Ulrichen, Italy. The
route traverses the Hedretto valley and
Nufenen Pass. Each car carries twen
ty-two passengers and makes the trip
in one and three-quarter hours, run
ning at 12 to 22 miles per hour.

"Between the hours of 3 and 4

Great Advantages Over the
Horse-drawn Apparatus
Considering the probable purchase
of motor propelled Are apparatus for ;
use In Harrisburg, many will be in- j
terested in this report of the Chicago !
lire insurance board:
"During the month of January, 1913,
truck No. 6 made 73 runs totaling 115
miles at a cost of $14.02. In this cost
item are included details of cost of 1
gasoline, oil, tire repairs, grease, etc. j
During the month of January No. 6 .
made 74 runs totaling 151 miles at aj
cost of $lB. During this same month
No. 3 made 104 runs, a distance of
236 miles at a cost of sl9. During the
month of February truck No. 5 made
108 runs totaling 178 miles at a cost
of S2O. During this same month truck
No. G made 108 runs, a distance of
318 miles at a cost of $12.52."
As to tho other general advantages i
of motor-driven equipment over horse- i
drawn-equipment, E. T. Shephard, su-]
perintendent of the Chicago insurance |
patrol says:
"There are certain seasons when all I
ot' our companies are worked to the I
limit and then there are slack periods, 1
but in each case the motor driven 1
proves its advantage over horses. The I
combination chemical and patrol truck !
limit of horse endurance is only a
little more than the overage amount of
work which h« performs daily. It is
impossible to speed horse-drawn ap
paratus over a certain limit or work
it overtime as much as it is oftentimes
required at certain seasons of the
year. Motor-drawn apparatus fits all
these exigencies, renders unnecessary
the hiring of additional horses at a
heavy expense to help out during rush
periods. During slack times horses
keep right on earing eve'i if they do
not work, and their cost of attend
ance continues likewise. Tho motor
driven apparatus, however, possesses
an expansive power. It works as
many hours overtime as is required
and it will travel the hist hour just
as fast as the first. It does not get
tired out nor need any sleep or reßt,
nor does it require the attention of
the attendants while the lire is ip
progress. Our motor apparatus is
ready for work any minute, day or
night, and our expenses have been con
siderably reduced in those houses
equipped with motor apparatus as it is
no longer necessary to furnish fuel
except when the truck is really earn- |
ing its feed. Horses eat their heads i
off when standing sti'l."
Packard President Shows
Trend of European Design
Following his recent trip abroad,
S. D. Waldon, vice-president of the
Packard Motor Car Company, makes
some interesting comments on the
trend of European design.
"There are two distinct schools in
European coach work," says Mr. Wal
don. "Germany and Belgium go al
most exclusively to well rounded ex
teriors, while France adheres to
sciuare corners with only a slight arch
In the roofs of enclosed bodies. Eng
land draws from both and makes her
open bodies along German lines, with
enclosed bodies tending more toward
tlie French design.
"Almost all European factories build
the chassis only and force the pur
chaser to go to one of the numerous
carriage makers for the body. Conse
quently there are almost as many dif
ferent designs of body as there are of
chassis.
"Many unusual designs are being
shown abroad, including the boat body I
with its copper riveted, laminated
wood sides and either without doors
at all or with very shallow ones. An
other freak style is the aviation limou
sine with windows in the roof.
"Design abroad has always been in
the direction of getting the entire car
closer to the ground than is practic
able here. With the present strong
tendency in the direction of very small
cars, this is more noticeable than ever
before. It is not unusual to see en
closed cars, alongside of which it is
possible for a six-foot man to stand
and see over the roof. This is extreme,
of course, but: it indicates a tendency
due partly to fad and partly to the
necessity of reducing the chassis and
body weight to the power capacity of
the small engine.
"While the growing perference for
the Six is not so marked In Europe as
in this country, there are indications,
particularly in England, of a pro
nounced trend toward six-cylinder de
sign even for comparatively small
cars."
son of Glory was set forever. But
the name of Washington—the great
American President and General, will
triumph over death. The uncluoded
brightness of his glory will illuminate
the future ages."
Chamberlain Amendment
Rejected by 3 to 1 Vote
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Feb. 21.—The Senate
yesterday afternoon, by a vote of 40
to 13, rejected the amendment to the
arbitration treaties, proposed by Mr.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, excluding
from arbitration acute questions like
Panama tolls, Japanese immigration
and the Monroe Doctrine. The vote
was regarded as a test of strength and
means that all the arbitration treaties
—eight of which are pending before
the Senate and seventeen more of
which will soon be reported—will be
ratified unamended by more than a
'three to one vote.

Dealers Approve New
"Loco" Enclosed Models
Closed automobiles being all-the
year-round cars, are in the lead now
with discriminating motorists, who
use their automobiles almost every
day. The locomobile Company,
Bridgeport, Conn., the pioneer in
automobile building, uitd they are to
day leaders in high-class motor car
construction. Their limousines and
other types of closed cars were attrac
tive features of the recent automobile
shows In Philadelphia, New York and
Chicago .and were always surrounded
by a crowd of enthusiastic mSmlreis.
S. deß. Keim, manager of local branch
of the Locomobile Company, sends the
following letter from the head of the
Greene Motor Car Company, of New
ark, N. J., perhaps the oldest retail
dealers in locomobiles in America:
Newark, N. J.
Mr. J. T. Roche, Sales Manager,
The Locomobile Co., of America.,
Bridgeport, Conn.
Dear Mr. Roche:
As the best Spring greeting we can
send you, it is my pleasure to write
anil congratulate your company on
the product you are giving to your or
ganization and to the public for 1914,
placing especial emphasis on the
closed body types. We believe that in
these designs you have been able to
produce a vehicle having that vital
right spirit that touches public senti
ment and which is so necessary in
your particular class of work. The
excellence of design, infinite care in
body detail, combined with good taste
up lines, trim and finish, all set on top
of "the best-built chassis in Amer
ica," gives to us and to the individual
owner that healthy satisfaction that
comes with a good full meal tucked
inside of a good healthy stomach.
Product and progress of the sort
which you have shown during the last
two years not only promises but guar
antees your future, and plainly stamps
the character of the organization re
sponsible for its creation and develop
ment during the ten years which It
has taken to bring the product up
to the state of perfection it has to
day reached.
It would seem that the Locomobile
cars as you are offering them to us
to-day should serve as an object les
son to every man Interested In the
Locomobile Company. Setting such a
standard of comprehensive automo
bile efficiency. It has given your entire
organization an' example to be lived
up to in their service with you. I be
lieve the car itself to be a daily in

together with the realization that only
by their being mentally and physical

With such a product as we now
have to offer the public, excuses for
