Mystery Magnified in
the Miller Tire Exhibit
Imagine looking in a store window,
in which there stands a mysterious
cabinet, and seeing an automobile tire
spinning swiftly around without any
apparent support. Such will be your
experience if you will stop in front of
the window of the Sterling Auto Tire
Co., 109 South Second street, local
distributors of Miller Geared-to-the-
Road tires, any evening between the
hours of seven and nine, for the next
week.
The mystery is an illusion being sent
around the country by the Miller
Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, and
was perfected by no less a personage
than the great magician, Howard
Thurston, and those for whom magic
and mystery have a particular appeal
.should not fail to sec this illusion
apparently violates nature's
laws.
The Sterling Auto Tiro Company
will present a Miller Geared-to-the-
Road time to the first lucky motorist
who records the nearest guess to the
active number of revolutions made by
the tire in ten hours' running.
This is an opening attraction offered
by the Sterling Company in their new
location which has just been com
pletely altered to meet the require
ments of the local Miller Tire gency
and the vulcanizing department.
How Gear Teeth Are
Tested at Dodge Plant
Every part that enters into a high
grace motor car must pass a series of
rigid tests. In the plant of Dodge
Brothers, acknowledged to bo one of
iho best of the industry, nothing is left
to chance. Every part is not onlv
thoroughly tested, but so carefully are
tests conducted that it is definitely
known just what each part will stand.
In testing the teeth of gears the
ordinary test has been to deliver a
powerful blow against the teeth. The
effect of the blow was easily apparent,
but it was impossible to measure how
much force had been expended. The
problem was put up to the engineers
of Dodge Brothers and they developed
a machine that delivers the blow and
at the same time measures the force
used.
The principle is the same as though
a workman took a chisel, placed it
against a tooth and struck the chisel
•with a hammer. In the case of the
machine a sharp blade is forced
against the tooth with a heavy impact
nnd on a dial the "left over energy" is
registered. It is a simple matter of
mathematics then to calculate the
imount of force needed to break the
'.ooth.

Automobile Speedway at
Uniontown to Open Soon
Another link in the circuit of auto
mobile speed course* will be made on
Thanksgiving Day, November 30, with
the inaugural races on a speedway that
is rapidly being completed at X.*nion
town, Pa. While the Pennsylvania
course is being opened too late to be
included in the American Automobile
Association championship award
events of 1916. it is scheduled to paly
a prominent part in the leading motor
races of the future. As it is, the
Thanksgiving Day contest will un
doubtedly furnish one of the most in
teresting speed fights of the year, the
entries secured to. date by Neil Whal
en, director of contests, being of a
high caliber. A number of the cars
and drivers that competed in the
recent record-breaking race at Sheeps
head Bay have already been entered
for the main event of the Uniontown
meet.
The Uniontown speedway is of the
board type of construction, similar in
principle to the courses at New York
and Chicago upon which all world's
speedway records have ben shattered.
It is a li-mile oval designed to per
mit the racing of cars at maximum
speed with a minimum of danger.
Jack Prince, known throughout the
country as a builder of speed bowls
and constructor of more speedways
than any other man in the country, is
supervising the building of the Union
town track and now has an army of
artisans at work rushing the board
course to completion. An idea of the
task represented in this work will be
gained when it is known that in the
construction of the tijnck alone more
than 2,500,000 feet of lumber will £e
used.
The Uniontown speedway is the re
sult of a desire on the part of C. W.
Johnson, one of the local automobile
dealers, to provide a modern automo
bile racing course for the thousands of
spc-ed enthusiasts in Western Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Johnson created a spirit
of enthusiasm in the project among
the other automobile dealers of Union
town with the result that the speed
way is now being boomed as a
munclpal feature, all of Union
town and the surrounding country tak
ing a keen interest in the construc
tion of the track which will place
Western Pennsylvania more conspicu
ously on the motor map.
While the entries do not close until
midnight November 25, Neil Whalen,
the racing driver, who is acting as di
rector of contests, has already secured
a representative list of entries and has
prospects of lining up many other
racing stars in the limited field of fif
teen starters.
The main event of the Unlontown
j program will be a race for nonstock
I cars of 300 cubic inches piston dis
j placement or under over a distance
;of miles, or 100 lays of the
course, with prizes aggregating $3,000
being split between the first five driv-
I ers to finish. The race for cars en
i tered by the dealers will be 5 4 miles
1 and will be for $1,250 in prizes. Of
this money SIOO will be awarded to
the driver leading at the end of the
: sixteenth and thirty-second laps in the
dealers' races. In addition to to these
races there, will be a special exhibition
time trial for the purpose of setting
new American speedway records for
1, 5, and 10 miles.
Hupmobile Party Visits
Movie City in California
The Hupmobile United American
good roads tour reached Fresno Mon
day morning after a week spent In
California, during which a detour was
made from the regular route to take
in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as
well as to travel over both the coast

Harry von Meter, one of the Ameri
can stars and an enthusiastic automo
bile driver, met the party at Santa

sal City, where they were the guests
of Vice-President H. O. Davis, and the
leading lights of University City aided
in welcoming the tourists. Mr. Davis
said that while he was not a governor,'
he was proud to officiate at one of the |
•■film capitals" of the world and spoke I
of the good road movement as a means '
of helping the circulation of films. I
The Hupmobile party was then filmed !
for several serials now being produced, !
after which Jane Bernoudy, the Wild
West star, led the party to the Los An

100,000 Cars Made
in First 22 Months
Dodge Brothers recently turned out
car Xo. 100,000, and the event was
celebrated at the big plant in Detroit
by taking motion pictlres of the final
assembly of the car.
Dodge Brothers have been reticent
in making public production figures,
and with the exception of those in the
trade who were close to the situation,
hardly anyone realized that this con
cern had had such an astonishing
; growth. Dodge Brothers produced
their first car on a commercial basis
on Dec. 4. 1914, and by reaching
100,000 now in less than two years
they establish an entirely new record
In the motor car industry.
The concern is now producing on a
large scale and the 60 odd acres of
floor space of the plant are being
I added to by the construction of new
: buildings.
1 1 The evidence of the great growth
! of the company is further emphasized
■j by the fact that when the drawings
i! for position in the automobile shows
:; of 1916 at New YOrk and Chicago
I: were made recently. Dodge Brothers
' were found in fourth place in the in
! dustry in volume of business. This
! was an advance in one year from
.eighth place to fourth place.
' Car No. 100,000 is going to have
; quite an eventful time. It was shipped
to the Tlenshaw Motor Co., of Bos
j ton, which has applied for the car
; months ago. There will be a public
; reception at which many officials will
welcome the car, and It will be es
corted about the city by the first
Dodge Brothers car received in Bos
ton. It is the later whicth has earned
the name of "Preparedness Car" by
its trip 3 through New England in the
interest of proper preparedness.
Oldsmobile Co. Preparing
For Greater Output |
Expansion of the Olds Motor Works i
in preparation for the manufacture of
20,000 high grade automobiles next
year is being accomplished rapidly.
The production schedule, calling for
practically twice as many cars as
were built in the past twelve months,
means of course, a great extension in
the of the plant.
Fifty thousand square feet will be
added to the working floor space of
the plant. The capacity of the load
ing platforms is being doubled and
new railroad sidings are to be built.
A number of additions to the metal
working department have been made.
New machines have been installed to
increase the production of fenders and
other parts.
The installation of an additional
complete enameling plant is contem
plated. The fineness of the finish of
Oldsmobiles has been a feature of this
car for years and the manufacturers
always keep the enameling depart
ments up to the highest standard.
Re-arrangement of me battery
charging room has resulted in
i doubling the capacity of that depart -
| ment. Other minor changes tending
to increase production are taking
place every day.
E. VenLinden, general manager of
the Olds Motor Works, says that the
tremendous demand for the Model 44,
elght-cylinder Oldsmobile, hus proven
conclusively the popularity of the
light, flexible quality car of moderate
price.

by A. E. Morrison, manager of the
Hupmobile Company, who insisted
that the party take in Southern Cali

should take in both San Francisco and
Los Angeles. Immediately F. J. Linz,
of San Francisco, arranged for a big
reception in that city and the Pathe
people made preparations to take
movies of the arrival of the capitol car
at the western terminal of the Lin
