HAYNES BEAUTY IS DISTINCTIVE Is in Conformity With Mod ern Trend of Motor car Fashion Comprising the "Light Six" Haynes line of open ears for the 1918 season, handled by the Miller Auto Company, are five and seven-passenger touring cars and the "Fourdore/ 1 a roomy four-passenger, four-door roadster. The "Light Twelve" is offered in de luxe editions of the "Fourdore" and the seven-passenger touring car. The new models express added ex terior beauties, charming interior re finements and further chassis perfec tions. The Haynes "Light Six" mo tor, introduced more than three years ago, is continued almost without change: likewise the "Light Twelve" has undergone only minor changes. There is the same Haynes distinc tiveness of body design, but the lines are straighter. and the hood is broad and high-arched in conformity with the most modern trend ip motorcar fashion. The weather-tight wind shield is tilted, and the front fend ers curve to wheel form. The bodies are of the double-cowl type. All the new open models are •■Quipped with Blackmore door cur tain openers. These do away with the bother of unfastening clasps. There are no flapping curtajns to creep beneath—they swing open with the doors, and close tightly. Careful attention to detail, executed master fully. has made possible the harmoni- i ous beauty of the interior. High grade leather upholstery is used in all open models, carried even to the I tracks of the front seats, which are j undivided. The seats are pleated In | the ultra-fashionable French style, | eliminating tufting and giving roll j tdges. Deep resilient cushion springs! are beneath the comfortably shaped' seats.

MOTORS IN 101S The trouble 'with the automobile business has been psychological rather than actual. It was fear; the in dustry feared the Liberty Loans, the draft and other evidences of a well prosecuted war and their effect /in passenger car sales; it fearod the at titude of our lawmakers toward this absolute necessity which for years has been misnamed "pleasure" car; It feared the reports of a restriction of shipments of materials for passenger car purposes; and It /cared the rum ors of a curtailment In the supply of gasoline to be used as fuel for such vehicles. The manufacturers are prepared to make cars and the pußltc are prepar ed to buy them; but what will hap pen If passenger car production is seriously curtailed through the com mandeering of the plants for war pur poses?. We do not believe that this v,"ll occur, but even though It should, the Industry is so vast that scarcely more than 30 or 40 per cent, of the capacity of each factory need be util lred for the production of all the mu nitions that the Government could re quire. Furthermore, as has been pointed out in a previous article, such Government action would not prove disastrous to the industry, for It would mean that the vast plants and : organizations would be kept busy with work on which the Government would allow a fair profit and on busi ness which comes without being sought—that Is. without a large sales expense and other overhead charges which interfere seriously with the at tainment of the desired results on the proper side of the balance sheet of so many industries.—Harold W. Slauson, in Leslie's. ( BIG APPERSONS CUT FUEL COSTS Owners Boast of Thirteen to Fifteen Miles Per Gal lon of Gasoline Motor circles of the city have been stirred up the last week over the growing frequency of reports regarding Apperson gasoline econ omy. Among the larger cars the Ap person has stol nlone in this re spect. Gasoline mileage <sf from thirteen to fifteen miles per gallon is mattered record In so many in stances that it has come to be an accepted fact. Owners say Apper son cars are producing this mileage consistently. As the Apperson Is 130-inch wheelbase car, these performances in the hands of private owners have occasioned wide comment. Edward L. Cowden, when ques tioned to-day regarding these rec ords and the cause of them, said: " Ithink we Apperson represent atives may not have told the public enough about the way the Apper son hoards gasoline. The car Is actually miserly about gas. Of course, we've had so many reports of from thirteen to fifteen miles per gallon, month after month that we've gotten used to the idea. But I find the more I invest igate that other cars of the same size are not making anything like the same records. You ask me how the Apperson does it? I don't know all the rea sons, but I'm sure of them. One is the .marvelous development of the motor. The other Is the light weight. When you remember that the Apperson brothers, Elmer and Edgar, built the first successful gas car in this country, you can see why it is that they're still leading on motor construction. Nearly twenty-five years ago, while scarcely more than boys the two brothers were deep in the mys teries of gasoline motor construc tion. They built a successful auto mobile even at that early day. They are essentially car builders at the present time. They are among the few manufacturers who make prac tically the entire car in their own plant. No wonder they turn out motors that deliver power on the minimum of gas. The second reason is the light weight of the car. The motor has far less weight to move on the level ana to lift over the hills than other cars of the same wheelbase. In fact the Apperson is, as far as T know, the lightest car of 130-inch wheelbase in the country. This may sound like a simple ' explanation but it represents years ! of hard work by two seasoned auto j mobile engineers who started ahead i of the industry and have never 1 given up the lead. The point that interests me is i that even the ownv who can read ill' afford all the expenses of a big car takes more pride in it, if it's j economical. It's not merely the saving involved, but the fact that the car's efficient. We're expecting a bigger year than ever on Appersons and we be ' lieve the long mileage on every gal ! lon of gasoline is going to be one of I the best selling points."

Assure Victory n>- JOHN N. WILLYS President Wlllys-Overlan 1. Inc. The war has given opportunity for a grtat deal of platform oratory, find, as always happens uni'.e.- simi lar circumstances, a variety of theo ries are advanced, some of which I are highly practical and some of wh'ch need only a moment's consld [ etvition to convince one that th? loraior has not given the subject any i eal thought and consideration. We have on our hands tn-day the • most Important Job that any nation ! ever had and It Is essential that we i analyze carefully the various the j ories which have been advanced. I'fhrn we must follow only the course ; which will be of benefit to this na ! tion in this war with German*', In r-tend of, through Ignorance and lack of consideration, finding ourselves working for the Kaiser. AVe must thrash the Kaiser thor oughly. The point at issuj Is how best to do it. While the manufacturers of this country have practically unanimous ly notified the Government that they are anxious to help In the produc tion of material* for war, tliore Is. however, no way of determining as yet to what degree war essentials will absorb the entire productivity of the country. Any attempt to direct public pur chases beyond this limit of war es sentials might easily work a grlev cous hardship on many industries. If thousands of people were thrown out of employment, a depression would be created which might bo re llected immediately in the public at titude toward the war. Wo cannot light the Kaiser and hard times at the same time. We require prosperity in this country with which to win this war. If that prosperity does not interfere with the building of munitions. Is It not, therefore, wisest for us to follow the policy of filling the Government con tracts with the utmost speed and keep the rest of our productivity go ing in accord with public demand, so that the vast army of the Amer ican people at home are in a posi tion to support the Government with a spirit of optimism, and also with enough money to help market the bond issues which are coming up from time to time? I refer now to the broad inter ests of all American industry. The automobile industry in which I am personally interested is so firmly es tablished as a part of the great transportation system of this country that those who know the part it plays considers it one of the'funda mental essentials of this country to day. But there are other industries which have been classed by unthink ing people as non-essentials. I be lieve such classifications are pernici ous and dangerous. What is essential to me may nbt be to you. As a matter of fact, you may say that even the clothes you have on' your back and the boots you wear are non-essential, because the North American Indians lived here in the same climate for thousands of years without them. Similar com ment might be made concerning many industries. I believe the public is capable of deciding what is essential to them, and we should, after wax needs are properly supported, let the people alone to make their own choice of their requirements. To illustrate how impossible it is for any man to determine his neigh bor's requirements. I was talking the other day to a man who was in clined to refer to motor cars as a non-essential while he regarded the railroad as a necessity. That man did not know that sev eral of his neighbors were saving manv dollars every year by travel ing from their country homes to town in their cars instead of by railroad. He did not know the motor car is taking an even greater part in the pioneer development of the country than is the railroad. Nor did he know that the seating capacity of automobiles in this country is great er than that of the railroads. He* had been informed that the pleasure driving of automobiles is less than fifteen per cent. —probably less than the pleasure riding on trains and trolleys. He had not considered that ev ery automobile parked down town in our cities represents a man or woman on some time-saving business e*ent or that the 2,700,000 automo biles in rural communities are trans porting millions of pounds of pro duce daily, bringing farms nearer to town and saving millions of hours for productive time to farmers who formerly had to master their trans portation problems with horses. He did not know that salesmen to-day are saving ten to fifty per cent, of their time with the auto mobile —leaving that much extra power for Uncle Sam. I point out these things about my business just to show you how mis taken a man may be in his opinion about the necessity of any industry. Above all times, this is a good time for every man to weigh his remarks and stick to those things about which he is informed. I view with suspicion of ulterior motive the remarks of any man who preaches a doctrine that tends to stagnate any Industry below the pub lic's demand and beyond the Gov ernment actual need of Its curtail ment. For example, certain men mali ciously' Interested in reduced prices for motor stocks have thrown out misleading impressions about the au tomobile industry as similar groups have around other industries. But I tell you no little group of men can for their own gain interfere with that-which the public has decided will increase efficiency and make more useful citizens. We are going to win this war. We are going to win through pros perity here. And I urge that form of optimism from every man who lifts his voice. YEIiIE COMPANY OVERSOLD Plant Is Also Handling War Depart ment Contracts With the announcement of the new line of nine Veils models, the Velie factory at Mollne, Illinois, be came the center of a dealer demand for deliveries which soon absorbed the entire production for months to come. Even in the fact of a shortage in materials and repeated freight em bargoes, the Velle company ha& maintained production at a maxi mum, and in addition Is handling several large contracts for the War Department. By making it possible for one to obtain any of nine body styles on a single chassis, the Velie company has given an unusually great selec tion of models. Each type from the sport model to the exclusive town car has been developed to a j nicety in every feature. THREE NEW TYPES OFSTUDEBAKERS Light Four, Light Six and Big Six Different From ' % Predecessors The new Studebakers, represented by M. L. Mtimma, include three models, new throughout and all en tirely different. They embody Stude baker'a sixty-six years' experience as one of the world's greatest manu facturing Institutions, together with tjje latest and greatest achievements of some of the ablest and most ex pert engineers and production ex perts known to the industry. And, as predicted, these latest Studebaker offerings have many outstanding and original features in ears of their price class. The Series 19 Studebaker cars In clude a light four of thirty-five horsepower. 112-inch wheelbase, in a flve-pnssenger touring car and a two-passenger roadster, finished in Studebaker blue: a light six of fifty horsepower, 119-inch wheelbase, In a five-passenger touring car, a two passenger roadster and a four-pas senger roadster, finished in blue or maroon; a big six of sixty horse power, 128-inch wheelbase, in a sev en-passenger touring car, finished In chrome, green or maroon. Bodies of all three cars are dis tinctive and remarkably graceful in appearance. They are of the full stream-line type, low hung, clean cut and unusually attractive. From the graceful radiator clear back to the rear of the tonneau the lines are smooth and unbroken, and viewed from any angle the effect is most pleasing. These bodies have been as thoroughly designed and worked out as the linen of a racing yacht—in fact, the methods used in laying them out were precisely the same as those employed by naval architects. The result is that the different curves flow smoothly into one another and form a beautifully balnnced and most harmonious ei fect. The big six gives an impression of great strength and power; the light six suggests speed and com fort, and the light four shows the comfortable, easy lines expected in an family car. The improved motors of the new Studebaker cars were designed and built by Studebaker In their owr shops after exhaustive laboratory and experimental tests of the most thorough nature, extending over a period of many months. The exhaust line leads forward from the rear of the motor, then down and back, thus eliminating the usual hot floor boards. Extensive experiments conducted by the Stude baker engineering department re sulted in a superior valve timing, which, together with increased valve lift from one-fourth to live-sixteenth inch and improved carburetion and "hot spot" manifolding, gives a twenty per cent, increase In power, smoother operation and unusually low gasoline consumption. Steering knuckles have long bearing surfaces, which make for easier steering. Oil cups which provide positive lubrica tion are used wherever possible in place of grease cups, and In inaces sible places, which an owner usual ly neglects, packed oil cups give au tomatic lubrication for long periods (without attention. / The poor grade of fuel of the pres ent day has made it necessary for all automobile engineers to make a special study of the problem of car buretion. Studebaker engineers have sxtccessfully overcome Ihis drawback, and as a consequence greatly increased fuel economy in their new models. This has been ef fected by the use of what is known as a "hot spotted" manifold con struction. This hot spot in most in stances is simply a heated portion of the inlet manifold over which the fuel mixture is carried. In the Stude baker design a small area of the manifold, near the point of branch ing off, is kept very hot by contact with the exhaust manifold. This serves to vaporize the liqXiid particles of gasoline which are not properly atomized In the carburetor. This hot spot is effected in the six-cylin der designs by leading a certain quantity of the hot exhaust gases into a jacket .surrounding the intake manifold; in the four-cylinder de sign by the position of the intake manifold itself, which is placed at the proper point directly under the exhaust pipe. 'LIGHT TWELVE' SEVEN IS LATEST IN HAYNES LINE The new Haynes "Light Twelve" open car for seven makes Its debut at show time.
