CAPITAL CITY SHOW
; HAS MIY MODELS
]
Variety of Cars Attract Many
People on the Opening Night
of the Show
I With festoons of American flags sus
pended from the oeilinsr and the wall*
draped with the Kay national colors to
harmonize with the ceiling effect and
a brilliancy of light that was reflect
ed on the shining new models, the
! show of the Capital City Motor Deal
i ers' Association opened Saturday even
! ing at Kelker Street Hall with an at
• tendance that was considered good
I for the tirst night with all the diverse
attractions usual downtown on a Sat
urday evening. There were several
exhibits that had not been placed be-
I cause they did not arrive in time but
to the public in general the show
had seemed complete in every respect.
Other attractions came in to-day from
shows in other cities and will be placed
I this evening.
A souvenir is given to each lady it
the door in the form of a neat little
vanity bag. and a new Ford roadster
is exhibited as the door prise.
I The Buick, one of the standard
I popular-priced cars, always a feature
at local shows, continues to hold pub-
Ilic attention. The newly designed
bodies, with the radiators rounded at
the top. the sloping hoods and the
•general improvement in appearance,
make the Juiek more attractive than
ever. Three Buick models are on dis
play in the space of Mottenstein &
Zech. a model C-25 touring, a C-37
touring and a seven-passenger model
C-53 six-cylinder touring. The Chev
rolet line is represented in two models,
a Boyal Mail roadster and the Ames
bury Special. Of special interest in
connection with this exhibit is a large
picture of the Buick Prosperity Train
of «7 cars photographed on the Rock
ville bridge 59ml' weeks ago when the
first trainload of Buicks came through
from the Philadelphia territory, in
■ which these counties are included.
With Ueorge B. Zech at the local ex
hibit. are P. G. Mottenstein. W. H.
Nicolai. .1. M. Rvans and Fred Temp
est and E. M. Hottenstcin will be here
Tuesday.
The City Auto Supply Company have
installed a complete Ford motor on
which they are demonstrating one of
the Stull starters, made especially for
this make of car. The claim for this
machine is that it is very easly oper
ated hecause all friction is eliminated
by using ball and roller bearings
throughout, making possible for ladies
and boys to operate same with ease.
To attach it is only necessary to make
one hole at the bottom of dash near
ithe center large enough for a half-inch
; square push rod to pass through,
j which is used to operate the starter.
' By this simple method there is no dan
j ger of weakening the car with a lot of
!unnecessary holes. The starter com
| olete weighs only ten pounds and
|noiseless in operation. As soon as
I the engine starts in either direction,
I the pawl or clutch is automatically
' thrown out and the engine and starter
are then two different parts and do not
touch each other at any point. This
prevents the possibility of back fire
and eliminates danger of broken arms.
The starter does not touch any moving
part of the engine, except when the
starter is in actual use, thus eliminat
ing the objection of extra hearings and
j taking power of engine away from car.
!.\ one-man top and a line of accessory
'specialties comprise an interesting dis
j Play.
! The twelve-passenger Stanley moun-
I tain wagon shown by Paul Messner is
j intended for work on hard, rough
; roads and steep mountain grades.
Steam propelled, it has an abundance
iof reserve power always at the com
| mand of the operator enabling him to
! pick his way up the rough, stony hill,
1 and to slow down almost to a stop
■ over water bars and around blind
[curves. Ease of operation with no
clutch to work and no change speed
lever is among some of the advantages
I claimed for the steam cars. The en

and a single little throttle lever on the
steering wheel, which is moved back
ward and forward only a few inches
from one extreme of speed and power
to the other.
The King eight-cylinder car shown
by the King Car Sates Company was
of special interest to many who were
desirous of seeing this new popular
priced eight, where they eouUl inspect
it leisurely and have its merits ex
planned by W. p. Keister or J. Robert
Barr. ,
The new eight has a pure European
streamline boav and is built on a
chassis of 113 wheelbase which I
length is claimed the most convenient
si*e for general use. The Ward LtOB-1
ard electric starting and generating'
system is included in the price and 1
an engine-power tire-putnp is part of i
the regular equipment.
The Jackson Kour-44 received spe
cial consideration by many who were
attracted by the grace of body lines,
and numerous expressions of admir-!
atlon were heard from those who stud
ied Its sturdy construction. The Jack
son "44" embodies all of the distinc
tive Jackson features-—durability,
economy of operation and comfort. It
has a full streamline body, with curv
ed back, flush doors, concealed hinges
and crowned fenders. The motor Is'
the standard Jackson unit power J
plant. 40 horsepower with cylinders
cast in pairs and divided aluminum
crank case. A Six-48 is also being
shown by P. H. Keboch, distributor i
for Eastern Pennsylvania.
A Detroit Electric, an Oldsniobile;
model 42. a Studebaker Six tive-pas
senger. and a Studebaker axle show-;
ing the accessibility of the differential. I
full-floating rear axle and Timken ]
bearings, comprise the exhibit of the'
East End Auto Company in charge of I
R. C. Barrett who is assisted by Xor-!
man Johns and C. H. Miller. The De-1
troit Electric is the only electrically |
propelled car in the show, and thel
elegance of its appointments and con
venience of operating levers, combined
with its simplicity of control makes
this type of car especially suitable for
iiadies. Among the many mechanical!
[features which have contributed to the j
success of the Detroit Electric, is the
chainless direct shaft drive. This type |
of construction is said to deliver to |
the rear wheels the highest possible
percentage of the power developed bv
'the motor.
I The Maxwell touring model and a j
i roadster are shown by E. \V. Shank,
distributor for this territory. A white
enamel chassis direct from the Boston
show will be here in time for this
evening's show. This cut-out chassis!
has all the vital mechanism exposed to
view under glass so as to demonstrate
the working operation and construc
tion to the best advantage, and lias
been shown in the largest cities of
the country. Mr. Shank is assisted by
H. F. Willoughby.
The Case "25" is the only one of this
make on exhibit, as the Case Company
I is specializing on this particular model,
1 having found that it comes nearer to
the popular demand, although the 35
and 40 are being marketed practically
in the same form as last season. The
"25", however, now has a wheelbase
of 115~ inches instead of 110. the
tires increased from 32x4 to 34x4, the
headlights equipped with double bulbs
land the spark plug location shifted
| from the side to the valve plugs to the
[center of the cylinder casting in holes
i formerly occupied by the priming
| cocks. Cantilever springs supplant the
i platform rear construction. George A.
1 Dechant. manager of the local Case
branch, is assisted at the exhibit by
Charles S. Wilson.
Four Hupmobile models and a I.ewis
Six constitute the display of the Ens
minger Motor company. A four-pas
jsenger Hupmobile "32," a model K
I roadster, a model K five-passenger
touring and a model K Sedan. The
I sedan is the convertible type whereby
lone may remove the entire top and
convert the car into the regular tour
inpr or roadster model. E. C. Ens
minger. distributor for Hupmobiles
throughout an area of twenty-two
counties, is assisted at the exhibit by
W. E. Randall.
A Jeffery Six-48. a small Pullman
touring, a Vim delivery chassis and a
Jeffery one and one-half ton truck,
with a large Pullman touring model
to come, are the features of the Bentz-
Landis Auto Company exhibit. The
Jeffery Big Six is classed among the
most beautiful and luxurious cars on
the road, a car designed for the man
who wants bigness, luxury, comfort,
easy riding qualities, and yet keep
.within the 3700 pound weight. .1. A.
| Bentz is assisted at the exhibit by C.
H. Conrad, end G. E. Matteson of the
• Jeffery house in Philadelphia.
The Metz new touring model that
| was introduced for the first time at the
I New York show is shown by the Metz
I Sales Company and is a credit to the
I Metz organization. Handsome in ap
[pearance with its pleasing design and
■ wire wheels, and equipped with the
lone-man top, the touring modei will
[no doubt shprc honors with the popu
: lar roadster model the coming season.
The Metz roadster has many points
'of refinement and change of lines that
i materially improve the car which lias
j been known for its remarkable per
j formances with the gearless transmis
sion. Luther G. Monn and James C.
iMonn are in charge of the display.
The new Kord models, a touring and
I roadster, show the new design of car
las now being received from fateory.
The body design including a cowl ef
fect that makes a decided improve
ment on the front view of car and
| curved fenders at rear. The new cars
have electric light, the magneto hav
! ing been enlarged to a accommodate
(the lights. Even with these additions,
I the car sells for S6O less than last year.
| Two of the most successful cars of
'the year, the Mitchell Bight Four and
i Light Six, divide honors at the exhibit
lof Ream & Son. The former attracts
j attention because it is an exact du
plicate of the remarkable car that in
130 days traveled 7,518.4 miles, an
average of 250 miles per day. under
! sealed bonnet conditions that pre
ieluded the making of an adjustment of
: any kind. The other Mitchell car is
the Light Six. It is a six-passenger
touring car, painted in standard colors.
When a fabric-lined brake refuses
jto hold properly it is not a bad plan
Ito apply a little belt dressing, such
as may be obtained at any machine
shop or machinery supply house. The
'difficulty, although generally the re
sult of leaking from the end of the
axle housing sometimes really is
the fault of the lining material, and
where such is the case the remedy
suggested Is a good one. though only
temporary in its nature.
B Car of the American Family" ■
A car of unusual grace and beauty with every feature that makes for driv- B

HISTORY OF TIRES
VERY 1181
About the first process rubber goes
through on the way to become a tiro
or tube is mastication. After the crude
para is washed it is broken up into
lumps and tossed into the crackers.
These are machines with heavy rollers
which take tl-.e rubber In between them
and "chew" it. Entering the masticat
ing room of a factory the first im
pression is that there is a brush tire
burning or else there is a den of snakes
at hand.
The rubber snaps and crackles like
burning branches and then hisses
shuddcringly. The stuff is kept at
until it Conies up in regular sheets,
very thin, and looking like a sort of
cake dusted with crumbs. Then after
thoroughly drying in vacuum cham
bers it is ready to be put in with the
chemicals and other things that make
up the compound. Into the linal com
pound of rubber —that is, after the
crude material has been thoroughly
washed and dried —many chemicals
enter in order to produce the required
results. In the compounding of rub
ber tlie entire secret of rubber manu
facturing business lies and accounts
for the difference between good rubber
and bad rubber.
Sulphur is required In order to ef
fact vulcanization, and it it in the us-2
of these compounds that one manu
facturing concern may overtop the
other, both using the same grade of
crude material. In the mixing room
each one of these ingredients is
weighed to a fractional part of an
ounce. Then they go into the work
rooms, where the entire mass is work
ed upon rollers until it becomes a plas
tic whole.
When the compound of rubber for
tires and tubes lias been worked up
to the proper point of mixture and
plasticity it Is ready to be removed
from the masticating machines and it
is then transferred to another type
of machine with heavy rollers. Ac
cording as distance apart of these
rollers is the thickness of the sheet
of rubber which runs through.
The material is worked in so that
it runs around the lower roller con
tinuously and fcniv«s set at certain
distances apart, resting on this robber,
mark off strips of rubber of desired
width. These run ofT onto long linen
rolls, thus providing a convenient form

of transporting from one floor to an
other the rubber which is used in
building up the body of the tire as
i well as in making tubes. When the
linen rolls are taken aloft in the fac
tory they are run on long tables and
the strips of plastic rubber are sliced
1 .at certain length to be used as plies
for the tires.
I Rubberizing the linen which goes
into tires is done by ltieans of a frio
tioning machine, which grinds the
plastic rubber into the fabric at high
pressure and impregnates it thorough
ly with the gum. The fabric for the
breaker strips and canvas plies is first
held at great heat, in order to be thor
oughly dry. Then it is ready to be
wound into the calendars, which "fric
tion" the rubber into the fabric.
There are three huge rolls on thU
frictioning- machine, the middle re
volving at high speed and the lower at
low speed. By the difference in the
speed of the rolls the rubber is thor
| oughly worked into the cloth, which
winds on one roll as the rubber re-
I volves on the drum opposite. Casing*
I for automobile tires are built up
'around molds formed like a wheel.

Strips of the heavily rubberized can
vas of varying lengths, according :o
the circumference of the tire to bo

ing up of a shoe. These have been
sewed so that they form a continuous
piece and then are worked around the
mold. Around this inner layer go I'IO
various plies of canvas until the

It goes into the vulcanizer. Those

wrapped tread go under a spiral ma
chine, which winds a narrow strip of
canvass all around the tread.
