Jackson Makes Record Run, Portland to Boston What is probably the fastest time ever made by a stock automobile be tween Portland and Boston was made recently by Fred D. Morse, of Port land, Me., in his six-cylinder Jackson car. Leaving Monument Square, Portland at 12:4 5, Mr. Morse and party. Including a Sunday Telegram representative, arrived ' at Sullivan Square, Boston, at 3:50; making the run, including three stops made on the way, in three hours and five min utes. Mr. Morse, who had previously made a very important business ap pointment in Boston and intended to leave here on 12:05 train, missed his train and so resorted to his automo bile with which to keep his appoint ment in Boston. On leaving Portland Mr. Morse remarked that it would be necessary for him to lower the average running time considerably for him to reach Bosto non time. At no time during the complete trip was it neces sary for him to stop for any car trou , ble in any particular and that, to gether with the fact that the roads were in excellent condition, enabled him not only to keep his appointment but also as far as is known to break the time record between the two cities. Mr. Morse was heartily congratulated by a number of Boston automobile men who were acquainted with the time he left Portland and were pres ent upon his arrival there. The four and six-cylinder models of this famous Jackson car are on display at the Central garage. P. H. Keboch and IJeWitt A. Fry are the local representatives. Hupp Export Business In Charge of C. 0. Hastings President J. Walter Drake an nounces that Chas. D. Hastings has given up his duties as general man ager of the Hupp Motor Car Com pany. He still retains the office of secretary and will continue to be ac tive in the counsels for the company. Later on in the year Mr. Hastings will take an extended trip in the in terests of the export affairs of the Hupp Motor Car Company, a branch of the business that has developed im mensely during the past three years. lixport shipments have now grown to such an extent that to-day this business alone pays the running ex penses of the factory. J. Walter Drake, president of the company, continues active supervision over the general affairs, while the title of F. A. Harris has been*changed from assistant general manager to that of commercial manager, the scope of his duties having been enlarged. The personnel and policy of the management remains as before. These changes are merely in the course of rearrangements that have taken place gradually. Many Cadillacs Are Delivered in Two Weeks The Crispen Motor Car Company reports the delivery of thirteen new Cadillacs since the automobile show and two others for next Monday, mak ing fifteen Cadillacs in two weeks. Eight of these were touring cars, four of them phaetons and one roadster. In addition to the new models, four used Cadillacs were delivered and two of other makes that had been taken in trade by purchasers of Cadillac cars. This indicates a prosperous condition, not only for the Crispen Company, but is evidence that there is a strong market and that the com ing season promises to exceed any preceding one. Stokes Stupendous Speed on Excelsior Motorcycle Glen Stokes smothered many dirt track records last month at Bakers field, Cal., on his Excelsior motor cycle. The ten-mile record went first. He made this in eight minutes, six and three-fifths seconds. The mile speed traditions were smashed in forty-six and two-fifth seconds. The hour record was sixty-nine and five tenth miles, and to top it off he romped around the track twenty-five times in the 25-mile free for all in 21:15 and then went to supper. And all these records were on a circular dirt track. 1 PUBLIC CONFIDENCE 1 i| IN THE I I Most Significantly Demonstrated jf By the Actual deliveries we have made in the last 2+ two weeks, March 21 to April 4, as follows: 1914 Cadillac—Two-passenger Roadster, Jx 1914 Cadillac—Five-passenger Touring, ♦♦ 1914 Cadillac—Five-passenger Touring, H 1914 Cadillac—Four-passenger Phaeton, 11 1914 Cadillac —Four-passenger Phaeton, 1914 Cadillac—Four : passenger Phaeton, 1914 Cadillac—Four-passenger Phaeton, ♦♦ 1914 Cadillac—Five-passenger Touring, +£ 1914 Cadillac—Five-passenger Touring, 11 1914 Cadillac—Seven-passenger Touring, & 1914 Cadillac—Seven-passenger Touring, ♦♦ 1914 Cadillac —Seven-passenger Touring, 2 ♦♦ 1914 Cadillac—Seven-passenger Touring, H ♦♦ 1914 Cadillac—Five-passenger, (will be delivered 11 XX Monday).

Cameron Street g HUES OF SIX OVER FOOO MODEL Various Phases of Question Ex plained by Robert L. Morton, Chalmers Representative Beyond doubt, the most discussed single phase of motor construction at the present time Is the question of "six" or "four." With the adherents of either side lined up strongly for their particular type, the buyer is quite likely If he Is not wary to become hopelessly confused In a maze of con flicting claims. That a four cylinder car maybe a good one cannot be denied. The pub lic has bought and used "fours" for a long time. Their worth Is conceded even by builders of "sixeß." On the other hand, there Is no question but what the "six" has made wonderful firogress. When leading manufacturers n ever Increasing numbers add "sixes" to their lines, and finally drop the older type for "sixes" exclusively, one Is forced to the conclusion that the "six" at least merits the serious consider ation of every buyer. "Despite the many hectic and often unreasonably biased claims advanced by adherents of both fours and sixes, there are some foundamental facts about the two types which the intend ing buyer can easily learn for him self, says ltobert L. Morton, local Chal mers dealer. "The wonderfully In creased production of sixes from just a few hundred cars foui» or five years ago to many thousands for this sea son is not an accident or the whim of manufacturers who have more money than brains. The ever increasing de mand for sixes is the result of ex perience. Users of sixes since the first btevens-Duryea and Winto cars of that type were built have learned, not that tlie six is necessarily faster than a four; not that it will climb a given hill any faster than a four of equal power, not that it will travel any more rapidly through sand or mud than a rour of as great motor size. But they have learned that the six will do all these things easier, with less fuss, with less vibration, with less gear shifting— and consequently with less wear and ~T ?, n , the machine and on the driver. . I think that all any builder of sixes should ask is that the Intending buyer himself if these things are true. This can be proved by ex perience. Claims have nothing to do with it. Any man who will ride 100 or 50 or even 20 miles behind the wheel or a six, and the same distance over the „ road A" any ' our will know when ho ? s the car why thirty-seven of leading builders of this models ve made sixes their leading gj, ] >e ? n ® ald that the six is SiTP i , ad- It doesn't seem quite Ive,""® e that American buyers In timL , ? cre . ns ' n ,S numbers should con «« (1 Indulge in a fad as costly h ,i.,T tor « ear lf they derived no tliflt 1' People Just don't have .i , fat ' s - Nor do manufac hs mimir. higgest and strongest in ft. 7" spent vast fortunes their entire equipment and srta nf ?h. , plans > taking the whole as the si* hSJ" °" a fad - No, as thi ad P' ove itself Just as , the four once had to. for the Tw £ Pe .?f ,e . nt plea one heara • four is ft is more economical rnimn fn. il Wl,y ' 1 wonder.
