HARRISBURG TELF.GRAPV MARCH 17, 1915 MOW DEVELOPMENT IN TWELVE YEARS From Practical Insignificance It Has Developed to Greatest Efficiency By K. P. DRVSDALE. Cadillac Motor Car Company From practical insignificance twelve years ago to one of the world's greatest industries to-day is briefly the story of jthe motor car. The rapidity of its growth has immeasurably surpassed that of any other industry in the world's history. Twelve years ago the automobile was the object of sneers and derision. To-day it ranks as one of the fastest methods of transpor tation or travel. Twelve years ago the automobile had not acquired the title which was assigned it a few years later. "The rich man's plaything." To day it is the world's necessity. Twelve years ago the owner of an automobile was the butt of the jester. To-day lie is the envy of his friends and neighbors. Twelve years ago the motorists wto could take a drive of a few miles without getting stuck was the exception. To-day the tour of a thousand miles or more with nothing to do but start, steer and stop is the recreation of thousands. Twelve years ago the motor vehicle as a commer cial utility was unknown. To-day there are thousands of them. Twelve years hence will see its use practically uni versal. Twelve years ago the investment in the production of motor cars amount ed to a few hundred thousand dollar*. Today the investments run into the hundreds of millions. Twelve years ago there were only a few thousand persons employed in the Industry. To |day It gives employment to hundreds lof thousands and furnishes a liveli hood for more than a million, i The real motor car, the one that is worthy of the name must be some thing more than a mere assembly of [components obtained indiscriminately i —a motor here, a transmission there, an axle some place else, and a score or more of other parts in as many differ ent places. In the constant, the effi cient, the dependable and the economi cal car everj' individual piece down to the last nut and screw must be made to work in harmony with every other ipart. Such a car can be the result only lof experience, equipment, skill, | "know how" and organization. These i essentials are not obtainable in a day, l a month or a year. The upbuilding of an adequate equipment and efficient organization, the kind that it takes to manufacture motor cars that will be what they ought to be is a slow and tedious pro cess. It requires work—hard work— and lots of it. It requires skill, and It requires time. The past twelve years have recorded remarkable develop ment. The next twelve, yes, the next two or three, will record many more. The past has seen developments in the motor car itself. The near future will record changes in the business itself. Tt will see an elimination of the un worthy and the unfit, for "only the good endures." STEGLER AGAIN ON STAND New York, March 17—Richard P. Stegler, German naval reservist again took the stand to-day as a government witness in the trial of Richard Mad den and Gustave Cock charged with aiding Stegler to procure a false American passport. He was submitted to further cross examination by Charles F. Oberwager, attorney for the defendants, who resumed his attack upon Stepgler's character.

ONE HUNDRED MILES ON LOWEST GEAR Severe Test That 116 Franklin Motor Cars Were Subjected to in One Day To travel 100 miles on low gear seems an impossible feat, especially to anyone who has ever tried very much low gear work with an automobile. This was accomplished, however, by 116 Franklin Six-Thirty cars last Fall. It was planned that all Franklin dealers would make the demonstra tion on this date regardless of weather or road conditions, and in every case they were to pick out the route which would furnish the most severe test to the engine. Two official observers were required—one from the automo bile club and one from the press— and the car was to travel on low gear all the time. It was a nonstop motor test, and the real test, of course, came on the cooling system and on the motor. Franklin dealers responded to the request for this national demonstra tion in every case except where some had not been able to get their demon strators as yet. Various routes were picked out, some which are famous all over the country, as for instance, the Spring- Held. Mass., dealer finished at the top of Mt. Tom: the Colorado Springs dealer finished at the top of Tender foot Hill; the Wilkes-Barre dealer at the top of Giant's Despair, and so on all over the country, the well-known mountains were used as the finishing point for tliis hard grind. The run was made not to show that Franklin direct cooling cools, as prac tically everyone knows to-day that this is true. It would have been im possible to build the Franklin car so successfully for thirteen years unless Franklin direct cooling was a suc cess. The real merit of this cooling system, however, has never been well understood by the public. How much it would stand and what the result to the motor would be on a real hard grind has been an unsettled point In the minds of a great many people. It is not that 100 miles on low gear is a thing that an automobile owner attempts every day or even once a year, but 100 miles on low gear is a demonstration so severe that it might be called the maximum test to which a motor can be subjected. That is why the demonstration was made in this manner, and it certainly showed that Franklin direct cooling not only cools successfully, but it cools under the most severe woork a motor can be given. Franklin direct cooling is so called because the medium which cools the motor (air) is used directly. In the average cooling sysetem using water, the water cools the motor and then air cools the water. Air cooling, or direct cooling, has been in use from the time automobiles were first made, and has developed gradually by new- Inventions and improvements until to-day It represents one of the valu able developments of the day for au tomobile users, not because it is dif ferent than water cooling, but be cause it accomplishes something use ful, and this 100 mile low gear run is a national demonstration that it ac complishes this something of use to automobile owners; it accomplishes greater serviceability. It requires less attention, for there is no radiator to fill, no pumps to look after, no fan to take care of. There are fewer parts, there is nothing to get out of order, as the only thing that moves is the flywheel, and of course that is a part of all motors. It is of maxi mum simplicity. Franklin direct cooling made it possible to run this distance on low gear because the cooling system is in dependent of car speed. The air that is used for cooling is circulated In proportion to the engine speed, and regardless of whetheh the car is mov ing or not, the engine is cooled in proportion to the work it does, and the air is used but once.
