"X never saw such inspection any where. We are accustomed to look on inspection as a once-in-a-while neces sity but In this plant were enough in spectors to man an ordinary factory. And they were light on the job with microscopes "and delicate measuring in , struments to make sure that every piece was just like its mate." The factory in question is the Chal mers Motor Company. MOTORCYCLE SOTES In making recommendations for the better policing of Chicago, Chief of Police Gleascui has suggested that two motorcycle oßlcers be placed at each police station in the city. One of the first motorcyclists this season to start on a coast-to-coast hike is Floyd Chandler, who recently left Han Diego for a journey across the con tinent awheel. imioii HIS TWO NEW MODELS 1,500 and 2,000 Pounds Capacity With Sealed Governor That Limits Speed The International Harvester Com pany of America has added two new delivery trucks to their line, Model |K of 1,500 pounds capacity, and Model F, of pouns capacity, and now have these models, together with their Model M, 1,000 pounds capacity on display at their new show room, 619-621 Walnut street. Following the policy adopted by the Harvester Company with their other lines of machinery, these trucks have not been placed upon the market un til they have passed the experimental stage, and have been found to be suc cessful. The manufacturers claim many advantages for their truck, chief of which is the sealed governor. It being a protection to the owner against the abuse of his truck In the hands of reckless drivers, as It elim inates the possibility of speeding. The governor cuts dow nthe gasoline sup ply when the truck reaches a certain speed. The specifications on the Model K truck are the same as on the Model E, with the following exceptions: Regular express body, inside dimen-. sions 108 inches long, 44 inches wide, 12 inches deep with 6 inch flare boards; capacity 2,000 pounds; 12 8- Inch wheel base; four-cylinder motor, cylinders motor, cylinders cast en block, 28 horse power. Centrifugal pump and high tension magneto on cross shaft in front of motor. Valves on one side and valve .mechanism enclosed. Renault type of hood with radiator behind hood, behond motor, leaving motor very ac cessible from front. Pump feeds oil to main bearings and troughs into which connecting rods dip. Cone clutch, Brown-Llpe transmission, three speeds and reverse. Center control, left-hand drive, irreversible steering gear. Rear drive through propeller shaft, with Spicer universal joints t6 inter nal drive rear axle. Weight is car ried on dead axle. Power is applied to the wheels through pinions mashing with internal gears, on wheels. Both brakes are on read wheels. Standard roller bearings on all wheels and Timken bearings in transmission. Annular ball bearings on rear axle shaft. Wheels artillery type S. A. E. stand ard dimensions. Solid tires. 3t>-inch by 3%-inch front, 36-inch by 4-inch rear. Frame—Front, half elliptic; rear, platform. Gasoline tank under seat. Capa city, 17 gallons, with reserve for emergency. Pneumatic tires, self-starter. skid chuins, windshield, storage battery, combined speedometer and odometer can be furnished on special order. The specifications of jyie Model E truck are as follows: Regular express body; inside di mensions, 90 inches long, 4 4 inches wide. 12 inches deep, with 6-inch llare boards; capacity 1.500 pounds; 102- inch wheelbase; L-head motor, equip ped with sealed governor, 20-horse power, four-cycle, water cooled, cen trifugal pump, large vertical tube ra diator and fan; crankshaft bearings babbitt-lined; camshaft has phosphor bronze bearings.

Forced lubration by means of a gear pump; double system of ignition, furnished by magneto and dry cells; chain drive: Holley, Model H. carburetor, 1%-inch, with adjust able hot air supply, hand-control on steering wheel, also foot accelerator. Another feature which is a decided departure in the automobile industry is that the crankshaft is counter balanced. Counter-balanced • crank shafts have been accepted as mechani cally correct and are used ajinost uni versally by the manufacturers of high speed steam engines. The wheels are of the artillery type, 38-inch diameter outside tire, front and! rear with 2%-inch S. A. E. stand ard, side flange, detachable tires. Each wheel is provided with two Tim ken roller hearings. An oiling plug eliminates the necessity of removing the wheel for oiling. Front axle I beam type, carbon steel, heat treated.

BUYER, This May Help You | I to Decide on a Car H zz ♦♦ I Ensminger Motor Go. I ♦♦ 2 ♦♦ THIRD AND CUMBERLAND STREETS H Bttuututtttttutumtttttttuttmttttttttttmttttmutmtmmtttmmttutittuttmttmtttm Auto Owner Does Not Have to Be a Mechanic The popularity of the automobile has not bred a race of mechanic own ers, men who can delve into the motor, investigate its troubles pnd make need ed repairs. As a matter of (act the average owner does not expect to have to do any work of this kind. When he buys a car he figures that his purchase will run with such uniform consistency that he will have no repairs or adjust ments to bother with. The occasional small attention the machine may need he figures he can get from the service department of the company that sold the car. In the early stages of the motor car Industry there was quite a little of the "get-out-and-get-under" action from chauffeurs and owners. It used also to be the remark of a large num ber of men without money to hire drivers that they were deterred from buying automobiles by the doubt that they had the necessary mechanical skill to keep them running. But this hesitation has disappeared. It is no longer a factor. The man tinkering a car on street or roadside is becoming such an exceptional spec tacle that small attention is given to the possibility of a car going wrong anywhere. "The reliability of the American au tomobile is the explanation," says D. R. Ream, of Ream & Son, local dis tributors of Mitchell carp. "Take a car like the Mitchell Light Four. Its cost Is small, yet it Is a complete, handsome car, adequate in every respect. In re liability it is capable of more than the highest-priced of cars of six or eight years ago. "This statement does not rest on my unsupported word. It is backed by strongest proofs. A stock car of this model underwent last Fall a test of one month that for strenuousity has never been matched. In one month this car covered 7518.4 miles, running night and day, an average of 250 miles every twenty-four hours, for thirty days, irrespective of road conditions. "The run was made with a sealed bonnet. There were no adjustments of any kind. The most unskilled of mechanics, the man least expert In motor car construction and operation, could have piloted the car through this ordeal provided he knew how to drive, for there was never any occasion to do work of any kind on the en gine. "In this test the car did amazing things, more than could ever by any chance "be exacted of It In actual oper ation. "It tackled every kind of road. It ran night and day. Except when a tire was replaced a wrench was never used on the car. The tool chest could have been left at home. It remained un opened. Over gumbo roads, through mud, despite rain and even floods, up hill and over mountains, this was the varied experience, and yet there was no repair work, adjusting or tinkering of any kind. "The experience of users of the car during the past six months has borne out the record made by this particular Light Four. It is 6ecause the Mit chell-Lewis Company, of Racine, Wis., with Its wealth, organization and years of practical experience, can turn out at small cost cars of such superior re liability that a man no longer feels that he needs to have a chauffeur or to be a mechanical expert to run a car. He just gets the machine, and knows that his experience will be the same as that of other laymen, the car built right is so reliable that it will pretty nearly take care of itself." COLE EIGHT HAS SPEED That there is "some speed" in the new eight cylinder car manufactured by the Cole Motor (Jar company, of Indianapolis, was proved recently when It was found necessary to use a 75-mlle speedometer as stock equip ment on the car Instead of the regu lation 60-mile-speedometer. Taxation of Motor Cars Feature of A.A.A.Meeting Automobile taxation in general is a subject which will command para mount attention in the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Ameri can Automobile Association, to take place in Boston next Monday and Tues day. The winter sessions of the State Leg islatures betrayed a wholesale tendency to call upon the motor car owners for increased registration fees, despite the fact that in 1914 the total contributed by motorists exceeded $12,000,000. "An automobilist should pay only one tax on his vehicle —either for registra tion purposes or as personal property— but we find in our national member ship a difference of opinion as to which Is the most re'sultful, but not necessarily constitutional, form of motor car taxa tion to bring about roads improve ment," comments President John A. Wilson, who is the unopposed candi date for re-election as to the head of the American Automobile Association. "ITlltlmately it will be conceded," says Mr. Wiison, "that the road is a general expense and the cost of its con struction and maintenance should come out of general funds. Furthermore, it Is a certainty that finally a motor driven vehicle will be looked upon like any other piece of property and subject simply to usual and not special forms of taxation." Chairman G. C. Diehl, of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board, will ask the Boston meeting to decide what plan of Federal aicT will assist the several States to co operate most advantageously with the counties in the Improvement of market roads. Mr. Diehl Is confident that Con gress will act at the session to begin In December next, and he desires that the A. A. A. shall advise its 600 clubs throughout the country as to the con census of automobile opnlon In this Important matter, so that A. A. A. mem bers may consult with their Congress men who are home for summer vaca tions. The facilitating of roads travel will be brought forward by Chairman Frank X. Mudd. of the A. A. A. Touring Board, who will have several new ideas to put forward for the approval of the meet ing. . . A representative attendance of di rectors is assured, and they can bring with them as many club members as may care to attend. Not a few of the directors will make the Journey to Bos ton over the road, and Massachusetts Automobile Club, one of the pioneer or ganizations of the country, has cour teously offered accommodations to the cars of the visitors. The Tuesday ride over the route of Paul Severe will be a feature of the meeting*.

Empire Sales Record Is 50 Per Cent, in Lead "With our 1916 model announced early in April, sale for that month exceeded by far any like period in the history of our company," says P. A. Babcock, sales manager of . the Em pire Automobile Company. "On April .2, just two weeks after our new car was announced, our shipments passed the total for any previous months, and In the remaining days the average was increased daily. May has started out in a way that makes it almost certain that even April's record will be better ed. "This volume of trade may be taken as striking evidence of the demand for our latest car. The result of the an nouncement of the new type, with its Increased size throughout, was a rush of orders that has kept the entire Em pire organization working at top speed. "For over a month before the 1916 model was announced our entire manu facturing efforts were devoted to pro duction of this car. We withheld the announcement until we hbd several hundred cars ready for delivery and our dealers were supplied with demon strators. This plan of introduction, rather than letting the car follow months after the announcement has met with popular approval.
