UILL STREET BRIDGE SATURDAY EVENING, cessfully used in a speeding automo bile. Yet that is precisely what was done in logging the route of a run of 122 miles near St. Louis, Mo. In this in , stance the dictaphone took the place • of the laborious writing of notes bear , Ing on landmarks, dangerous eross . ings, grades, sharp turns, etc. After several trials, and before the . pathlinding run was actually begun, it was found that the 1914 Cadillac was; best fitted to carry the dictaphone and permit of Its use while under way. The Instrument was placed in the tonneau und the notemaker sat in front beside the driver, the tube from dlstaphone being carried over his shoulder. The practicality of the Cadillac two-speed , axle in promoting smoothness and steadiness in running was admirably demonstrated on the trip, and al though the dictaphone was In constant use while the car was running, not a, I single record was marred by vibration. For the purpose of route-making this experiment proved that the dicta phone is far superior to the ordinary method of making written notes, for the record is complete and clear, prac tically because of the difficulty of writing legibly or rapidly in a moving automobile.

W. Ford of the Saxon Motor Company announces that all the Saxon dealers have by now been taken care of, those In the small er towns having demonstrators with the prospect of more cars shortly. These speed records of the Saxon Company have created as great a sensation as was made by the first an nouncement of this car. Automobile men declare that there is no other in stance on record where a manufac turer has got under way with quantity production so soon after a car was | placed on the market. | "Though we have been ahead of our I production schedule from the start we [don't seem able to build the cars fast enough," says Mr. Ford. "Dealers in all sections of the country have ap plied by letter, by telegram and per sonally by coming to Detroit to ask if we couldn't double and triple their allotment. Right now we have orders on our books for immediate shipment for 2,000 cars, to say nothing of blan ket orders from many dealers to ship as many cars as we can as fast as we can." Though the Saxon car was an nounced only a few months .ago, the estimated maximum dally output is fast being approached. The factory is running on a twenty-five car a day schedule. After April 1, the Saxon officials expect the plant to be operat ing at capacity which is 50 cars a day. Arcanum Lodge Hears Lecture on Order ' C. H. Dunn, of New Amsterdam Council. No. 2038.

To-day every motorcycle manufacturer, except two, is building twin clinder models and the majority are featuring them," is the strong as sertion of the West End Electric and Cycle Company, local distributors of Indian Motorcycles. "Seventy-five per cent, of the total motorcycle output of 1913 was twins, and this year 90 per cent, of the ma chines produced will mount double barreled motors. Ninety per cent, of the 35,000 Indians built in 1913, which constituted nearly half the total out put, were twins, and this year 9 8 per cent, of the 60,000 Indians to be built, will be twins. "The same reasons which won popu larity for the 'sin' have made the twin the favorite among motorcyclists. More frequent impulses reduce vibra ] tion and produce smoother running and increased riding comfort. More power and speed are obtained with a twin, which, despite its higher horse power, yet 1s easily handled in the most congested traffic because of its ] flexibility and quick pick-up. "A twin consumes no more gasoline and oil than any other type of engine of equal piston diplacement regard less of the number of cylinders. In fact, a twin is very economical to op erate because the smoother running and negligible vibration mean longer ! life to the mechanism and less fre iquent replacements. It is not gener ally known that the Indian twin was 'the first successful twin motorcycle en gine built, and now is in its eighth year without radical change. It has been gradually refined and developed to its present wonderful efficiency while many of the features which it introduced now are standard practice. "1914 will be a twin year because experienced riders know its merits and new buyers are being won to the twin by the convincing advertising and investigation."
