J We would like you to get his opinion of the Hup- Engineers constitute a little world of and unto themselves. They are keen critics, but generous ones, when they encounter good work. And these sharpest of observers say the Hupmobile is good. In Detroit where there are many automobile engineers—one hears the highest praise of the Hupmobile. • * It would be too much to say that there is not a dissenting voice regarding the Hupmobile among Detroit engineers. B».:t it would be hard to lina one who holds an unfavorable view. By common consent they have settled on the Hupmobile as one car they can unite in commending. I\ow this is not mere sentiment or friendliness. Reputable engineers will not barter away their professional standing by unmerited praise. Y\ hen they approve of the Hupmobile—and especially of its splendid small bore, long stroke motor —that approval means something. It i c an endorsement founded on extraordinary experience and knowledge. It is a source of pride to us —and a recommendation you can not afford to overlook. I ake the engineer s expert opinion alone with all the other good things that you hear about the A Hupmobile. Let us prove the Hupmobile in a quality test. ENSMINGER MOTOR CO. W Distributors \ jlj .

L HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH lIISIDP IS DEW AUTO MCE FICTI Delay at Pits Now Almost Fatal to Any of the Speed Demons on Big Tracks The motor racing season of 1915 has already developed a distinct nov elty—the nonstop speed performance of 300 miles or more. At Corona and at Venice. Barney Oldtield. in a Maxwell car, ran the entire distance—3ol and Ilrfo miles, respectively—without pausing for a second in his mad career. The Co-! rona course Oldtield covered at the 1 terrific average of nearly 86 miles an hour. The Venice race was over a slower course, but the nonstop feature en abled Oldtield to win from Billy Carl-' son. also in a Maxwell, but who spent a few second at his pit. Carlson also established a nonstop, running the 306 miles of the Point I-oma Koad race, near San Diego, j without hesitating at any stage, losing: first place by a matter of seconds only. These performances have been j startling to racing men and designers j alike. They have tacitly served no tice that the time is not far distant whe no driver hope for victory unless his car is able to go through the whole distance of its race with out a tire change, a replenishment of supplies or a stop for any mechanical trouble whatever. Such a feat would have been im possible to the speed demons of a year ago. Even now it is almost rev olutionary. That speed cars should be built to any other requisites than mere speed would have been esteemed heresy in former years. It must soon become a creed. For the light, effi cient, well-balanced, nonstop Max-' wells ask no odds of any of their rivals in pure speed, adding to their ability to roll fast a faculty to keep rolling, which is almost fatal to op ponents' hopes. With the heavy racing cars <Jf ear lier years, economy of gasoline and j oil was a minor consideration, due j to the fact that frequent stops were! necessary on account of tire trouble. I A pause at the pits for tire changing j was thus made the occasion for tank | replenishment, without additional loss of time. Present day racing cars are so much I lighter that tire wear is less rapid. | So thoroughly has the problem of I balance and lightness been worked I out in the Maxwells that in more than 8.000 miles of travel at high { speeds in practice and competition on the coast circuit during the winter, but one tire change was necessary at ] the racetrack. Economy in supplies, which had been incorporated into the Maxwell design by Chief Engineer Ray Har roun, then became a tremendous as- i set. A 30-gallon gasoline tank would. \ it was discovered, carry ample fuel j for 300 miles of racing. The car. in i fact, demonstrated an ability to aver- | age from 12 to 16 miles to the gallon, j even at a sustained speed of nearly :iO miles an hour. Lubricating oil was used in similarly parsimonious way. Reserve water was unneecs sary. And nonstop runs began to be recorded. I lacing men roughly estimated that j a car loses a mile by a full stop of I merely momentary duration. Each! minute spent ut the pits loses the ! car over a mile more. The race cars of the present are virtually of equal ! speed. For the first time, efficiency land economy are playing a big part | in determining the winner. Recent Blizzard Did Not Break Saxon Schedule i Tho terrific blizzard which recently swept New York State had no effect on tile schedule of the Saxon roadster | now engaged in making a thirty-day run. 150 miles a day, from New York; jto Albany and return. The car started its long run March 29. has covered more ! than half the distance, and is reported: I to be in excellent shape. According to the schedule mapped I out. a one-way trip is made each day. This means that when the run ends on ! the night of AdHI 28, the car will have ; covered 4.500 miies, or more than the j equivalent of the amount of driving I done bv the average owner in a year. , Reports from New York state that in addition to maintaining its schedule the Saxon is showing a remarkable economv record. An average of thirty five miies per gallon of gasoline and seventy-five miles per pint of oil is be- 1 ing made. it. W. Rodger, of New York, who is . in charge of the run, gives this account of the car's showing: "The trip so far has been, very sue- i cessfui. As the car is working itself , in it is rapidly improving its record. "The most thrilling feature of the 1 journey so far was the showing made I on April 3. On that day we had one , of the worst snowstorms of the winter. A gale of over sixty miles an hour was ' blowing and about fifteen inches of ■ snow' fell on the ground. "The road between Albany and New i ork was heavily drifted, but despite this fact the Saxon pulled through i safely. Hundreds of cars were stalled : by the raodside all over- the country, in i the detour from Peekskill to Pough- i keepsie Driver Hoffman reports that ' the car was given its supjreme test. < "Nobby Tread''Equipped Maxwell Car Used to Get the News for the "Movies" The Universal Film Company uses a "Nobby Tread" equipped Mas* well car to obtain moving pictures for its "Animated Weekly" iervice. It is a difficult matter to take moving pictures from an automobile traveling at high speed. The camera operator in the car wears a belt-like device invented by "Jack" Cohn of the "Animated Weekly." This device enables the operator to take pictures while the Maxwell car travels at high speed. It was considered important that the automobile be equipped with tirea which would give protection against skidding, and fewest delays caused by punctures or blow-outs. For this reason it is equipped with'*United States "Nobby Tread" Tires on all four wheels. jf SCRIPPS BOOTH | ECHANICAL perfection and the extreme of luxurious equipment i y l distinguish the SCRIPPS-BOOTH in the light car class.
