Race Drivers to Equip Cars With Miller Tires That the time for the 1914 interna tional sweepstake races is drawing near is being brought forcibly to mind by the fact that many of the speed kings are making final arrangements for their tire equipments. According to reports received from the Miller Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, makers of Miller tires, negotia tions are being made by eight of the drivers in the coming race to use Mil ler tires. For some time Miller tires have held the world's road race recards for endurance. Last year in the Vander bilt, and the year previous in the In dianapolis race Teddy Tetzlaff's car was equipped with Miller tires, when the unbroken record of 78.7 miles per hour was reached, and so far this re mains untouched here or abroad. In the last Vanderbilt cup race the Marmon car driven by Guy Ball, and the Alco piloted by Billy Taylor were both equipped with Miller tires and went the entire distance, 403 miles, with but one change. The successes that have attended these tires during the last few years is attributed mainly to the process of manufacture. The makers claim that their method is the proper way for curing and that it maintains the na tural quality in rubber and gives good service on both road and track. They use single cure wrapped tread method of construction, which is an exclusive process for making the strong and durable rubber in their tires. Cadillac Fire Truck Runs 23 Miles in 31 Minutes Fire fighting i* being rapidly revo i lutionized by the automobile or rao j tor driven apparatus and with the sen ; sational feats these vehicles are per forming nearly every day it seems likely that the horse will soon be aban : doned as a part of a fire department's equipment because of comparative in efficiency. Fast runs by automobile apparatus also diminish the possible loss from fire and in time will un doubtedly affect insurance rates. Amarillo, Texas, rec .tly provided a spectacular example of what can be done in this line of public service. A fire truck built on a stock Cadillac chassis and carrying, with hose, lad ders, chemicals and tools, an over load of 1,200 pounds and* with a total | weight of 6,000 pounds, made a re- I markable run to the State Normal I fire, covering a distance of twenty- I three and two-tenths miles in thirty ; one minutes. The last nine miles were : done in ten minutes and the average j speed was forty-six miles an hour. ,The run was made over country roads, over hills and through canyons and I around twelve short turns.

Since last August we have sold twenty of these cars that have been taken in trade. Every purchaser is a booster, because he realizes that he has real 1 value.

Auto Co., at Kokomo, Ind., each week taxes the railroads of that city to the limit. Ordinarily the railroad service Is quick and fast, but a few days ago the Panhandle and Clover- Leaf swfteh engines got into a little mix-up at a crossing with the result that both were temporarily disabled. There was no way to set cars for the Apperson loading crew. Still, shipments had to be made— and one particu lar rush job for the Southwestern point Along side the loading platform was a string of six freight cars, loaded with meat, farm machinery and merchandise ready to be pulled out. At the tall end of this line was an automobile "empty" that was intended for the rush shipment above mentioned. The prob lem was to get the six loaded cars out of the way and "set" the empty. And this without an engine. Right here is where "Old Betsey" got busy. "Old Betsey" Is an old 1907 "Jack Rabbit" that was exhibited at the New York Show in that year, sold to a customer and, after giving a num ber of years of faithful service, was re turned to the factory to finish out her days us a truck. Two hundred thou sand Is a conservative estimate of the miles she has traveled. The Apperson loading crew is re sourceful. The automobile had to lip shipped. That ended the matter as far as they were concerned, so calling on "Old Betsey" they rigged up a push pole to her front axle, with the other end of it against the back of the third loaded car (after having uncoupled the third and fourth cars) put six huskv loaders on the rear end of the truck to keep the wheels down and opened the throttle. "Old Betsey" responded nobly and without a miss. She buckled to the job and pushed those three loaded cars on up the track, came hack and took the next three and then "set" the i * n approved switch eneine style. The total weight moved at each time was approximately 370.000 pounds. jure, said "Shorty Benson," of the loading crew, who drives "Old Betsey." ?°, lng all our switchln' with the old giH save that the Interstate Commerce Commission would be after Starting and Lighting System of Jackson Cars All Jackson motors are built with tho electric cranking and lighting sys tem. Current is generated by a dyna mo driven from the battery to crank the motor and light the lamps when the car is not running. The system operates on six volts, and the wiring consequently is simple and direct. The electric cranking motor is mounted vertically at the front end of the en gine. On the lower end of the arma ture shaft is a worm gear, which en gages a large gear on the counter shaft. Above and below the worm gear on the armature shaft are ball bearings, which prevent wear and keep the worm in perfect mesh with the gear. Keyed to the large gear is a small sprocket. A roller chain runs from this sprocket to the free mem ber of the ratchet starting clutch. This member of the ratchet clutch is free to revolve on the shaft, while the other member moves in and out of engagement on the splined start ing shaft with which it rotates. When the clutch is not engaged, the motor is entirely free from the starting mechanism, and can rock back and forth with restriction. The foot switch in the floor board controls both the clutch and the starting motor. When the switch is first depressed the teeth of the clutch are brought into engage ment, then the electric contact is made which sends the current into the start ing motor and cranks the engine. The convenience and economy of electric lights has done more to make night driving a pleasure than any oth er single development of Jackson de sign. The powerful electric headlights throw a flood of brilliant white light as far ahead on the road as the driver can see. The lights are con trolled by the touch of a button on the dash, and the storage battery from I which they draw their current is kept I fully charged by the dynamo driven from the motor. Slow Speed Is Best Test of Modern Automobile No longer does the automobile dem onstrating driver "hit her up" to show prospects how tine a car he sells. Speed has been banished into the limbo of the "has been" and the "once was." The modern motorcar sales man has learned that the best possible test of the efficiency of a motorcar is the slow speed. Not how fast, but how slow is the cry. The tremendous growth of the modern American eitv, and the need for a car that will op orate under difficult traffic conditions has made necessary a motor that will pull the car steadily, smoothly, with out Jerk or vibration at speeds as low as two and three miles an hour on high gear. Only thus can best results be had and only thus can the pleasure of driving a car in the city be retain ed. Tills change in demonstrating methods has been brought about bv car buyers themselves. They liav» learned that when the law limits speeds to a maximum of hardly more than twenty-five miles per hour in almost every part of the country, it j avails little that their car is capable of high speeds of sixty or seventy miles ; THE CAREFUL BUYER f® 111 Appreciate the Wonderful Values Offered Below H '.''Kfl/I 1013 Ford touring cars. 1012 Rfiral underslung touring $425 ' 1013 Rulck roadsters $375 1012 Chalmers touring, at a K§ BM 1013 &12 Hupioolille roadsters bargain.

Yet tricky drivers of a car that fulls in a slow speed test are able to "put it over" on their prospect unless watchfulness is exercised. An expert driver can so manipulate his clutch pedal, cutout and throttle that the car will travel at a slow speed. At the same time the noise of the open ex haust drowns out the sound of the gear and the slipping clutch and the prospect is led to believe that the car is traveling at a speed much lower than it really would if the clutch were fully engaged and the cutout silent. Of course, says I. W. Dill, the local Hudson distributor, who explained the novel idea, this slipping of the clutch and clever scheming of the driver is only needed where a oar is incapable of meeting the test of slow speed. On cars like the Hudson Six -40 or Six-G4 where the six-cylinder motor will pull the car steadily at as low a speed as two miles per hour no such tricky devices are necessary. And the remedy is to let the prospect drive the car. There is then a fair and un prejudiced opportunity for him to see just what the motor will go. And he cannot be deceived by the expertness of the driver. \ FOR SALE 1913 M Roadster Perfect condition; new tires; full equipment. J. H.
