It is often noted and commented upon that electric automobiles of to-day show greater speed and endurance than ever before. Another noticeable feature is the ability of electric cars to always run satisfactorily regardless of weather conditions. These improvements are largely due to the advancement that has been made in storage batteries. It used to be that thirty miles was as far as an electric could travel on a single bat tery charge. By contrast the modern electric car can cover 85 miles or more—the equivalent of several days of usual service—on one charge of the batteries. Then, too, facilities have been improved by reason of conven iently located central charging sta tions which make it practical for any electric car owner to get quick serv ice. It used to be a common occurrence to see electric pleasure cars travel at an extremely slow pace because of radical changes in the weather, parti cularly on cold or snowy days. How ever, the type of battery compartment and trays in use to-day are so designed that sufficient protection is affordnd against severe weather to Insure the satisfactory performance of batteries in winter as well as summer. Electric car batteries used to be con sidered somewhat of a mystery and the average owner was almost afraid of them. To-day they are well under stood by owners because they have been simplified and thoroughly ex plained in common sense instruction books issued by both battery and car manufacturers. Greater strength and longer life has naturally come with development in battery manufacture. In every detail, batteries now used in the quality elec tric cars are more efficient. They make greater speed possible, as well .is added power in climbing hills, or negotiating heavy roads. There is no doubt that the radical changes made In electric car batteries have been largely instrumental in in creasing the popularity of electric pleasure cars in eevry part of the coun try. Xo hills are considered too steep for the electric to climb. To impro\*ed batteries is also due the greater economy which the modern electric car shows over that of several years ago and over other types of. motor vehicles. Modern Airboats Have Luxuries in Appointments In line with the Aero Club of Ameri ca movement to develop aviation corps for the militia. Glen H. Curtiss, one of the pioneer airmen in this country, will exhibit the latest model Curtiss flying boat in Xew York in an effort to stimu late a further Interest in aeronautics among amateurs and to familiarize the general public with the possibilities and value of aircraft as an arm of defense. Through the courtesy of the Packard Motor par Company of New York, the use of its broadway show rooms, at Sixty-flrst street, have been granted for the exhibition, which will begin the latter part of this week, and continue three or four days. An experienced aviator will be in charge of the exhibit, to explain the construction of the flying boat, its uses and manner of operation. Invitations have been mailed to promi nent Xew York sportsmeri. who have shown an interest In flying and it Is hoped some plan may be evolved that eventually will lead to the organization of amateur flyers into an available sec ondary reserve The flying; boat to be shown is a du plicate of the Model "F" recently pre sented to the New York Naval Reserves bv Mr. Curtis, the pilot for which. En sign Lee H. Harris, is now being train ed in the Curtiss school at Buffalo. It is an improved type of the machine in which Beckwlth Havens made the 1,000- mile air and water trip from Chicago to Detroit, via the Straits of Mackinac, in 1914. The New Tork Naval Reserves' flyer is now being completed at the Cur tiss plant, and likely will be delivered in two weeks. The airboat to be exhibited in the Packard show rooms Is one of the most luxuriously finshed models of this type yet produced, and is designed to carry two passengers and the pilot. It is equipped with a 90-horsepower V-type motor, with a waterspeed capacity of 60 miles an hour and an airspeed range of from 45 to 75 miles an hour; a wind shield, self- starter, militarv search light. and navigation lights on the planes. The body is of solid mahoganv, finished in brass, of single-step hydro plane construction. Following the exhibition In the Pack ard store, the machine will be sent to Sheepshead Bay for an exhibition dur ing the automobile races, and thence to Long Beach, where Mr. Curtiss will es tablish a school for flying.

DISTRIBUTORS V | ■ ' Mileage of Tires and What the Average Shows "The advance which has bten made In automobile tire building; can well be shown by a comparison of the tire of a few years ago with that of to-day." says Lk C. Rookhill, manager, Automo bile Tire Department, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. "Five years ago moiorlsts were sat isfied if their tires attained a mileage of 3,500. To-day no car owner would cons.uer such a performance satisfac tory. Six, eight and ten thousand mile tires are now common. Many have have run much greater distances. "There are many reasons for this. The big tire companies of the country nave succeeded in large measure in ed ucating the motorists to care for their tires properly. This has had much to do with the more satisfactory results secured from present day tires. But there Is no doubt that the tire manu facturers are making better tires now than ever before. Tire engineers un derstand their requirements better. The relation of load to tire size and in tiation is better unuerstooa, and cars are now coming out with more nearlv ade quate tire equipment than In the past. "Formerly many heavy cars were running on tires which were too small in cross section to hold up the load imposed on them. Naturally these tires broke down long before their* time, creating much dissatisfaction among their owners. Many of these were un doubtedly good tires and would have given satisfactory aervice If the proper relation of load to tire size had been observed. "Goodyear has been the leader all the way in tire perfection. Our engi neers have constantly striven for bet terments to Goodyear tires and have used up annually SIOO,OOO in experi mentation. Added features to our tires will Increase out tire cost $1,635,000 this year. What we are adding in extra rubber, size and strength will cost us sooo,ooo. Our eminence In the tire field to-day is largely due to our policy ot giving more than others. No expense has been spared to give the motorists of the country the very best tires that money and skill can put together." Motor Car Lineage Must Determine Its Prestige "The revelations in motordom this year have unquestionably been more startling and more significant than in any previous season. Motorists have seen the advent of eights and twelves, of radical changes in body design, of a thousand refinements and improve ments on the motor car of yesterday. To-day the automobile business ts more than ever before a survival of the fittest," said George M. Dickson, general manager of the National Motor Vehicle Company, builders of National Highway Six and Twelve cylinder cars. "For this reason it is exceedingly gratifying to me to realize that a car which has been an outstanding leader for fifteen years in the realm of au tomobiles. has this year in no wise surrendered its leadership, but come to the fore in a more superb manner than ever before." "After all," continued Dickson, "an automobile is not made but bred from a long line of distinguished ancestors; that is, a motor car of the type of the National, and an automobile shows its breeding. It cannot be any better than the factory behind it. And cer tainly this "Highway" product of the sixteenth year of National activity bears out my theory In every purr of its motor and graceful line of its body. It has a certain smartness which is a matter of lineage. "It is the car of distinction, the mark of the correct thing in motor cars, just as a Lucille gown is the last word In style or a Tiffany silver ser vice the epitome of the silver crafts man's art. Every new style of body that has been created by the National in recent years has proved to be in advance of the time and all have been very widely copied, yet at no time has there been any straining for effect on the part of the National's makers or obvious attempt to startle the mo tor-buying public. "The changes the National has made in its design have been those suggest ed by the assured judgment of an acknowledged leader and before they could bfe appropriated by other de signers, the National has again come to the fore with some new perfection in line or beauty of exterior which has marked It, as always, as the motor car you would be proud to have standing in front of your door or which would give you a peculiar satisfaction in claiming as your own at your country club or on the boulevards when it as sumes its natural leadership. In this year's Highway models, the National Twelve and the National Six, there is found this same typical preparedness and advance both in mechanical con struction and beauty of finish." Chalmers Official Organ Has Valuable Information The Chalmers Clubman, published by the Chalmers Motor Company for Chalmers owners, sounds a new note in house publications. The last issue of this attractive little magazine is filled with interesting and valuable In formation for motorists. This magazine is styled the "official organ of the Chalmers Club," and every member of this club receives the Clubmen free of charge every month. Every owner of a Chalmers car is eligible to membership in the Chal mers Club and with the appearance of the August Clubman, over ten thousand applications had been filed and membership cards granted. Interesting tours are featured from month to month, giving detailed road information. A decided editorial stand has been taken on the side of good roads. In the last issue, an ar ticle is devoted to outlining the ronte and plans of the Dixie Highway, the great Chicago-Miami, Florida roadway now under construction. I Under the heading, "Little Pilgri mages to the Shrine of Chalmers Quality," a series of stories on manu facture is being conducted, divulging some of the little known processes em ployed In the manufacture of a high grade motor car. One page Is devoted to the subject of women driving. This article gives some Interesting side lights on the in fluence the feminine contingent has upon the purchase of the family's motor car. The spirit back of the Chalmers Clubman Is summed up in the words of its sponsor, Hugh Chalmers: "There is a spontaneous bond link ing men who drive Chalmers cars. We will crystallize this sentiment into a world wide fraternity and call It the Chalmers Club." The whole aim of the magazine Is to foster good will between Chalmers owners and the Chalmers organiza tion. As a result of this movement has arisen a greeting "Hello Chal mers!" that Is exchanged by many Chalmers drivers who pass on the open road. Willard Uses Extra Hard Oak For Boxes An interesting tact in connection with the manufacture of Willard Stor age Batteries is that the oak which they use for boxes is so hard that fur niture makers are unwilling to use it for any except special purposes, inas much as it Is difficult to work and dulls the edges of ordinary tools. The Willard Company searched all over this country before they discov ered this material, which they believe is superior to any other for the pur pose. In addition to using very hard wood, they groove the corners of their boxes and lock them together with hard maple dowels securing the bot toms with lead-coated, acid-proof screws. They say that as a result of these precautions many months are added to the battery's life in service. Ordinary cheap battery boxes are quickly jolted apart by the bumps which they get over rough roads and .car tracks. rWhat It Means to You That We § Have "Stuck to One Model" § I CHANDLER SIX $1295 I f*TILL they come.

For winter use such tops are coming to be considered absolute ne cessities, since they give all the rough weather protection of the limousine at a small added cost over the fixed expense of operating a touring car. The Olds Motor Works is intro ducing a cold weather top, so called, although it is, in fact, a top well suited to use the year round, which is not only a good substitute for the con ventional type limousine In winter, but Is so constructed that in the summer touring season the side sills and win dows can be removed, leaving the sides entirely open. The standard wind shield remains in place and serves as a rigid front support for the top. In order to keep the top section of the windshield free from snow a glass shield is amounted on the front of the top above the windshield in such a way that it prevents the windshield from becoming coated with snow.

The luxuries of the limousine have been preserved in this top to such an extent that it probably would be taken for the conventional limousine by most people. Combining as it does the salient features of the limousine with the light weight of a standard touring car, the winter top, according to Mr. Hall's statement, is likely to take its place with such necessities as de mountable rims or quickly placed rain curtains.
