The motor is almost the same as that of last year, excepting that it has been im proved by the addition of a few minor details. The change In the piston rod is one of these details. One of the important features of the motor this year is that the cylinders are tested to a 150 pound hydraulic pressure. The valves of this car are enclosed with single plate and are easily remov able. They are amply large allowing the free passage of gases. Both the inlet and exhaust valves are of the same size and can be operated on the same side of the motor, necessitating only one cam shaft.

Leland Declares Company Has No Intention of Depart ing From Present Practice Henry M. Iceland, president of the Cadillac Motor Car Company, and re cently elected to the presidency of the Society of Automobile fcngineers, cor rects an erroneous impression which seems to prevail In some quarters with regard to the future plans and policies of his company. "We could scarcely expect to con trol,' says Mr. Iceland, "the very con siderable volume of mouth to mouth advertising which the Cadillac re ceives. It would keen us busy if we were to attempt to confirm or deny the many and varied reports that are constantly being circulated concern ing the Cadillac. But when a misun derstanding or misconception of the methods, plans or policies of the Cad illac Company is liable to creep Into this sort of gratuitous publicity, we consider it a duty we owe the public as well as ourselves to correct what ever inaccuracies may unwittingly be reported. 'We have experimented, it is true, with engines of six cylinders; in fact we have built a number of such cars in the past four years. We have test ed them to the utmost: and we have compared them,* point by point, with some of the most higlv regarded sixes which wo had bought for just i„?« r P 08 Ai 14 may be interesting to note, in this connection, that we did not find a single 'six' which, in our opinion, outpointed our own in these exhaustive tests. Most of them, in fact, were outpointed by our own These experiments may have been the basis of rumors that we were to mar ket a six-cylinder Cadillac but this company has no such intention "At one time or another our experi mental division has built autohiobile engines of almost every conceivable type ami size. We made two-cylinder cars some years ago. and it was ru mored that we were to market such a car—but we never did. We havn oior, made three-cylinder cars, and it was rumored that we were to market them—but we never did. And ®n the same way the rumor that we contem plate the marketing of a Cadillac »iv is without foundation. Our experi mental division, which we believe to be the most thorough in the entire industry, is ever active. No expense s ever spared in testing, investigat ng and experimenting; no stone is left unturned In our efforts to dis cover and provide that which will demonstrate itself to bo best in prin ciple and In practice. "Our tests, Investigations, experi ments and comparisons have demon strated conclusively, that our to ur cylinder engine affords the highest degree of all-around efficiency obtain able, coupled with greatest economy of operation and maintenance. Fur thermore our tests have proved that such an engine as the present Cadillac power-plant, in connection with a properly designed two-speed axle, pro duces not only an extraordinary ranee of operating flexibility but atf extra ordinary degree of operating and maintenance economy and marvelous v luxurious riding qualities, while re ducing friction and consequent wear to a market degree and reducing vi bration almost to the vanishing nninV "With this knowledge to fulde us we certanly have not the slightest policy departing from our present Cast Secured For Play to Be Given by Firemen All the characters required to com plete the cast of fifty people necessary to present the production of "The Fire Brigade," which the Firemen's Union of Harrisburg will present at the Ma jestic Tehater, matinee and nigrht, Thursday, March 12, have now been se cured.

INSUFFICIENT OIL MIKES IUTO TIME Consulting Engineer Dunham, of Chalmers Company, Issues Warning to Owners BY CIIAKDES W. DUNHAM Consulting Engineer of Chalmers Motor Company I honestly believe that one-halt oi the troubles experienced by drivers of motor cars are due to defective lubri cation. Not because the amateur driv ers of automobiles lack intelligence, but because as a general rule they are people unfamiliar with machinery. Lubrication is the most neglected phase of automobile care. And this, in spite of the fact that lubrication Is really the most impor tant item in keeping a motor car in good running order. Squeaks and rattles are not the only results of fail ure properly to lubricate working parts. Grease and oil have two main functions in any piece of machinery. First, to overcome undue friction. Sec ond, to keep the rapidly moving parts cooled. If you fail to lubricate your car, you will probably get squeaks, but, more important, you will get a loss of power, and If you neglect lubrication too greatly the motor will absolutely cease to perform its function. At the Chalmers factory we have one general rule: when in doubt, lubri cate. It Is not hard to keep a car properly oiled and greased. A little system will insure that every part wh|ch needs lubrication receives it regularly. Hero are the principal parts of a car which require attention: Once each day, or about every 100 miles, the crankcase should be exam ined to insure that oil comes up to the level of the top try-cock. Simply add new motor oil whenever the oil level falls below this point. The steering gear knuckle grease cups and Bteerlng cross rod grease cups should each re ceive one complete turn. Faulty lubrication of the steering gear Is absolutely suicidal and it re quires only the simple turning of a grease cup each day practically to in sure that you will never be placed In danger from the failure of your steer ing mechanism to operate. All spring bolt grease cups should be given a- couple of complete turns each day. The springs take the entire jolting of the car. Squeaks develop in them very rapidly, so their lubrication is highly important. The speedometer driving gears should also receive attention daily. The speedometer becomes useless if the driving gears bind from undue friction through insufficient lubri cation. The wheel hubs, which must work hard whenever the car is in mo tion, should receive from at least ten to fifteen drops of motor oil per day. About twice a week the fan hub should be given a few drops of motor oil. At the same time the pump shaft grease cups and steering gear grease cups should be given two complete turns. During this inspection see that the steering wheel and steering col umn each receive ten to fifteen drops of motor oil. Drawings For Position at Auto Show on Monday Space holders for the fifth annual motor car show will meet at the Motor Club headquarters, Monday morning, at 10.80 o'clock, and hold drawing for po sitions at the coming show which will be at the Arena-Rex garage on North Third street, March 14th to 21st, inclu sive.

The highest of these will be for fifty dollars, the second for twenty-five, and third for fifteen, fourth, for ten, and several additional live dollar prizes. Each admission ticket will entitle the bearer to one chance on these prizes. J. Clyde Myton, manager of show again this year, reports 9.000 of the 13;000 feot sold and the indications are that this year's show will again ex ceed any preceding exhibit.
