MOTORING f 'the new price six is out 1 Distinctive Features of Design and Construction Make Car Promising Addition to Paige Line A new six-cylinder car is in th field the Paige Model Fairfield, otherwise known as the Paige "Six-46," manu factured by the Paige-yetroit Motor Car Coonpany. The announcement of the advent of this new Six is of special interest to motordom as it has been known for some time that the Paige company was working on the new ear and considerable expectation had been aroused. The interest in what the Paige would dio to meet the deanand for tines was <hie laigely to the success the company had met with its Few, tihe Model Glen wood "36." After mere than a year of planning, working and developing the new'Pajge Six has at last arrived end dt is the belief of its sponsors that it will not only attract its due,share of attention but that it wil'l more than maintain the prestige won by the com pany in the field of Fours. The Model Fairfield, Paige "Six -46," is a seven- paMsemgier car selling for $1,395. Its designers and builders have not aimed to exploit any me chanical innovation, but have sought to take advantage of all that has pre viously been learned in the manufac ture of Sixes to secure the last word in proved mechanics and construction anil win dominance in the field through the exceptional value offered. In 'body design and general appear ance the new Six is of the European full steamline type with a one-man top th'a't completes the impression of low hung raciness. One of the features thut give the ear distinctiveness of de sign is the buld-nosed, V shaped radi ator of the cellular type. The wheel base of 124 inches is simple to com plete the effecit of imposing size. The motor is the Paige-Continental 3 1-2 inch bore by 5 1-4 inch stroke, unit power plant. The car has three speeds forward and one reverse work ing through chrome nickel steel gears and a multiple disc cork insert clutch. The lubrication is by a combination pressure, splash and circulating sys tem. The cooling systerti includes a Ifl inch fan ami a centrifugal pump. (Starting and lighting are taken care of by the Gray & Davis generator and starting motor. The wiring is simple, accessible and carried through perfect insultation to insure against '-'rounding and fire. The Bosch magneto, Willard storage ba»tt*ry and Gilay & Davis lamps with dimmers complete the elec trical equipment. The rear axle is of the floating tvpt while the front is the 1 beam section. Drive is accomplished ib>y shaft, two universal joints, through spring and torque beam. The brakes are internal and external, 14 inches in diameter. The now Paige Six is left hand drive, center control. The spark and throttle levers are on the Jiacox irre versible nut and sleeve type steering gear. Ignition switch, lighting switch, dash light, current indicator, speedo meter and oil pressure guage are in ac cessible positions on the cowl board. Under the cowl is the gasoline tank with a capacity of fifteen gallons. In the tonneau there are ample ac commodations for five persons; three in the back seat and two on auxiliary seats that disappear when not in use. The riding qualities, it is claimed, are immensely enhanced by the adop tiom in the rear of 49-incfi cantilever springs. The front springs are semi-el liptic, 36 inches long. The cantilever spring, it is claimed, is the latest and most i>erfecit type of spring suspension, and if so should make the riding qualities of this new Six Rensational. The car carries a complete equip ment, rnic'h as tire iron, tire carrier, foot rests, license bracket, horn, puimp, tools and tire repair kits. Sells Cars as He Wears Snowshoes C. W.

UTORISTS TO COVER PAUL REVERE'S HISTORIC RIDE American Antonobile As»:lsiion to Hold Annual Mooting at Boston in May—Mail Vote Decides in Favor of Spring Gathering Paul Revere's famous ride will ibe covered by the motorists who partici pate in the annual meeting of the American Automobile .association, to toe heJd in Boston in (May next. A mail I vote of the entire directoriate almost unanimously decided for a spring in stead of a wiinter meeting, and so it was that the A. A. A. executive board, at its December session in Washington, I>. C., with President John A. Wilson in the chair, decided to postpone the big meeting until May 17-18. At that time of the year tfhe main highways in most of the States are in travelable condi tion, and it has long been the opinion of leading A. A. A. memibers that the annual gathering should be one to which the members could tour over the road. Massachusetts is one of the few States which have established compre hensive highway systems, and for inauy the journey will also include Xew York. New Jersey and Connecticut, all of which have arrived at a uniform method of procedure. Ohio is another State busily at work upon a main market road system, and all around it is ex pected that the motorists will add greatly to their roads building ideas en route to the annual convention, one part of which will be devoted to high way matters. Boston and vicinity suipply a great quantity of places of historic interest, and the modern presenilation of the rev olutionary ride from Charleston to Cam bridge, to Concord and Lexington will be started by a signal from the aid Xorth Church. Ait the conclusion of the Boston meet in;? it is quite probalble that a party of tranftcontinentalists will start for ttot Panama-Pa ;ific Exposition in San Fran ciwo, for several A. A. A. officers hav< signified their intention of making th< cross-country trip at this time. Thcr< will not be any organized tour, nor ii it likely that all will start art the sam« time and follow the same schedule. Dr M. Roue, president of the Automo tale Club of Maryland and first vie< president of the national association is a quite likely participant, whdlt >R. Speare, president of the LMas sa<"husctts State Association and a for mer A. A. A. president, has in min< shipping to San Francisco and travel ing eastward. Perhaps the two w-il touch fires at the point in Nebraski where the Meridian road crosses th( Lincoln highway. If suc.h a sche-hilt can be arranged the meeting of thest two transHonitinental travelers will b< celebrated by an automobile funct.iou ol some kind, arranged 'by the Omaha Au tomobile Cluib.

We business statistics emanating from a manufacturer of motor vehicles since | the start of the European war has just been ma do public by John N. Willys, i president of the Willys-Overland Com : i>aaiy, Toledo. On November 25 the books of the Overland company showed a larger vol ume of sales since the start of that company's fiscal year on July 1 than that made during the entire six months ending January 1, 1914. In other words, Overland business to-day already is considerably a month in advance of that of the last fiscal year, when the total output of the company aggregated 45,000 cars. And for the present cal endar year this number has already been exceeded by several hundred cars. Foreign orders for Overland cais re ceived up to November 25 exceeded by 12 per cent, those reoeived by the cor responding date of last year," with the unfilled orders for foreign shipment amounting to two and one-half times those on hand on the same day a year ago. "The number of privately owned motor cars abroad is so depleted that American motor ear manufacturers are meeting a growing demand for cars to replace those confiscated for military purposes," states Mr. Willys. ''This fact alone shown conclusively that in Europe, as in the United States, the mo tor car is considered a vital necessity. Even in this day of extreme financial stringency on the other side of the At lantic, the Europeans believe that a car is an investment which will net them good returns on their money. Other wise they could not sco their way clear to purchase cars at this time. ''On the first of October, when Over land foreign sales were 5 per cent, of the total during the same period of last year, we thought the showing re markable in view of the fact that our foreign business was practically at a standstill shortly after the mobilization of troops. But during the last two months it has gradually increased until now it is far better than normal. Our total mentioned is, of course, entirely exclusive of Willys-Utility and Gar i'ord trucks sold abroad since July 1. "I believe that the excellent foreign business we are doing to-day, both in European and other countries, is merely a forerunner of what will come when peace is finally declared. Coupled with the great increase in motor car sales in this country, the rapidly growing foreign market gives American manu facturers every reason to look ahead to even greater prosperity.'' MOTORCYCLE NOTES A great many American niotorcy | eles are being used in the country dis (tricts of Argentine, j The Blair County Motorcycle Club | of Altoona. Pa., is planning to affiliate j with the Federation of American Mo | torcyclists. j Irving Janke, winner of third place I in the Savannah 300-mile classic, was I guest of honor at a recent meeting of ' the Milwaukee Motorcycle Club. He ; gave the club a vivid description of the i Savannah race. Two clubs recently affiliated with the i F. A. M. are the Charleston C.) j Motorcycle Club and the Hopkinsville j (Ky.) Motorcycle Club. Dr. W. P. Butler, of Koekuk, la., j uses a motorcycle or visiting his pa | tients. "I am much pleased with it," writes | Louis M. Duval of Saki, Nigeria, West I Africa, who recently received a motor ! cycle from this country. Kmployes of the Pennsylvania Water ! Company, of Pittsburgh, use motor i cycles to go to small repair jobs, for inspection of distribution mains, serv i ice lines and hydrants, and for answer ! ing hurry calls when a break is difc !covered. I "Abandoning the use of motorcycles would mean doubling the forces in the (departments in which they are used." ! This is the declaration of H. C. Morris, j general manager of the Gas Company. !of Dallas, Tex. The Gas Company ! uses motorcycles in its inspection, d;.s --j tribution and collection departments. It is snid that a motorcycle corps ; will be added to the garrison at San Antonio, Tex. Bronx Clubs to Unite The amalgamation of the motorcycle ] clubs of the Bronx, New York City, is 1 I practically assured. Thero are now some dozen or more clubs in the Bronx, I none of them very large, and at a number of joint meetings the members i of these clubs have decided that one central organization will be much more effective. A committee has been ap- 1 pointed to look after the matter of consolidating. Motorcyclists at Exposition Arrangements are being made for a | number of motorcycle events to be held on the Panama-Pacific Exposition's mile track during the fall of 1915. The one-mile, two-mile, five-mile, 10-mile 25-mile and 100-mile championships for amateurs and professionals will probably be run at that time. Plans are also under way for a mo torcycle tour from New York to San Francisco, to be undertaken next i spring. Motor Cop's Record Motorcycle Patrolman Wesolek, of South Bend, Ind., says that he has traveled 5,602 miles on his motorcycle at total cost of $67.50. This includo* the cost of riding costume as well as oil and pasoline. Since the first of April. Wesolek has arrested 67 per oons for speeding, 58 for intoxication, and made 304 calls for the Board of Public Works. Milwaukee's Motorcycle Show Riders of Milwaukee, Wis., will this year be given the opportunity of view ing the new motorcycle models in an exhibit for two-wheelers exclusively. This is the first time that a showing of motorcycles alone has ever been heldj FAMOUS RBO IN FRONT OF MICHIGAN CAPITAL R. E. Olds and A. R. Pardington at entrance of the Capitol at Lansing, home of the Beo car, on their way to present the monster Lincoln Highway petition to Governor Ferris. The petition, signed by 50,000 Michigan good-roads enthusiasts, was bound ill the two mammoth volumes shown. The Harrisburg Auto Company are the local distributors of the Roo car in this territory and are delighted with all the features of the now 1915 models of this company's productions, covering pleasure cars and trucks, and antici pates a prosperous new year for all. in Milwaukee, and it is planned that the show will be the largest of its kind ever held in the States, with the ex ception of the annual display at Chi cago. Tile exhibit will be hold in the Auditorium under the auspices of the Milwaukee Motorcycle Club, and the •dealers and accessory people have pledged their hearty support. Tenta tive dates of the display are February 26 and 27. Veteran Cyclist An enthusiastic motorcyclist of New York City is A. A. Hill, editor of the "Automobile Dealer and Repairer." Mr. Hill's experience in riding a two wheeler dates back to the time of the high-wheeled bicycles. Later, when safety bicycles were perfected, Mr. and Mrs. Hill cycled all over the East and in a number of foreign countries. With the advent of the motorcycle, Mr. Hill was one of the first to adopt its use. And now, with Mrs. Hill comfortably tucked away in the sidecar, he can be seen almost daily chugging through Westchester and other counties of New York State. MAXWELL AGAIN LOWERS HILL-CLUNG RECORD Latest Victory That of Billy Carlson, Who Drove Famous Car Up Mount Wilson in Twenty-nine Minutes and One Second The latest word of victory comes from Billy Carlson, one of the Max well racing teaan, who took a stock 1915 Maxwell and drove it up Mount Wilson, in just twemty-nane minutes, one second; truly a most wonderful performance when you consider that the world's record for this famous cl'imlb was fotrtv-two minutes. Mount Wilson is known the world over as a steep one, and one that is most difficult for an ■automobile to climb. Sharp, turns, narrow road, al ways snow and ice, slush, rock's, etc., make iit a most dangerous one. Tho ele vation is 6,0'0 0 feet, and the road covers a distance of just nine males. This is an elevation of 666 feet per mile. Over these nine males throwjih ttie snow, slush a<nd ice, Billy Carlson forced his sturdy Maxwell up, always up, making an average of a mile every three minutes and thirteen seconds"; around quick turns and over narrow roads where a little Slip, a little mis judged distance and down the preci pice, mayhap, a thousand feet both he and the «ar would go. The government Observatory on Mount Wilson kept the officii a 1 score of the race against time, and the Max well and her driver brought down the fastest record ever made at this place, thn previous record being made by a Stutz, and the time forty-two minutes. This is but another exiample of what thiis flexible, light, powerful Maxwell (HIT is capable of doing 1 . E. W.

" American motor oar makers de voting their efforts to the manufacture of moderate priced cars, have succeed ed in turning out models that should forcibly appeal to the buyer in Latin countries, slays Mr. Wdllem. "A oar may have a powerful and efficient mo tor, but the South American purchaser demands in addition, pleasing lines of the steaim-line type. 'The French and English cars have been given credit in the Latin coun tries for originatiin!? the present mode in body designs, but the American manufacturer -with ihis enormous pro duction, has not only improved on the original] designs, but offers hip product at a lower price. My first impression of Dodge Brothers new car was its striking resemblance to the better type of light ear now being marketed by French concerns. This appearance com bined with the powerful motor in the car should render it a big seller in the foreign market. I aim confident that we can build up an imjwtant export trade | not only in South America, bart with . all countries not affected by the Euro pean war." HANDLING OP RACING TIRES J. C.
