CLIMBING A MOUNTAINNot satisfied with making the great-

est non-sto- p mileage ever accomplish-ed bya motor car, the Flanders "20"which covered 10,872 miles withoutstopping the motor, has recently madea climb to the clouds up San Jacin-to Mountain, California, reaching analtitude of 6,800 feet. The upper partof the mountain above Idyllwild wascovered with snow and ice, makingthe trip extremely hazardous. Thesturdy Flanders i "20" made the tripof 116 miles from Los Angeles to thetop of the mountain, loaded down withfour passengers. A steady climb ofnineteen miles, with grades rangingas high as twenty-fiv- e per cent, wereencountered.

Assistant" Sales Manager Paul Smithof the ' E-M-- iF Company, makers . ofthe E-M- -F "30" and Flanders "20"left last week on a 15,000 mile touramong E-M- -F agencies. This is oneof, if not thev longest, continuous"whirls around the circuit" ever map-ped out by any motor car sales de-partment. Mr. Smith's Itinerary cov-ers Denver, Indianapolis,'' Kansas City,St. Louis, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City,Dallas, San Antonib, - New York,Washington, New Orleans, Minneap-olis, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago,Atlanta, Memphis, Louisville and intervening territory. , He is not mak-ing this extended tour for the pur-pose of closing contracts for E-M--F

Company's wonderful manufacturingfacilities, to manufacture over nightas the dealers would like to havedone, 42,000 cars which constitute thecompany's orders for 1911. s

Durability and simplicity of con-struction are the features which theE-M- -F Company of Detroit say hasbrought them suqeess and sold over20,000 E-M- -F "30's". There is nodoubt that the E-M- -F "30" chassis isfree from mechanical complicationsand is a car which a new buyer, aswell as old owners, can readily un-derstand and easily operate. The ad-dition ' to the E-M- -F line Includes ademi and detachable tonneau and asnappy, rakish roadster which metwith a ready demand when they madetheir debuts' at the shows. Thethree new bodies contain beauty, su-perb finish and comfort. They con-tain . features fpund on the best de-signed bodies in the industry, togeth-er with many original ideas created byE-M- -F designers. v ' ,

With a touring cat, roadster,tonneau and coupe,

the E-M- -F Company has a line thatshould not be overlooked by prospec-tive purchasers. Mounted , on thestandard E-M'- -F "30" chassis ' andcarrying the company's one year guar-antee, it is a line that is bound tomeet with favor during 1911,

THOMAS AND PACKARD.One of the most important and sig

nificant changes that has occurred inthe motor car industry during thepast twelve months Is the passing ofthe E. R. Thomas Motor - Company ofBuffalo, from the control of the Thornases into the hands of the well-know- n

financial house of Eugene Meyer, Jr,and Co.i of New York City. TheMeyer interests have secure a smallgroup of othciais trom tne iJacKaraMotor Car Company and have giventhem absolute control of the reorganIzation of the Thomas Company andits subsequent operation: This grouphas' been carefully chosen with a view- -

to placing a past master. at the headof each of the important departmentsof production, marketing and finance.Mr. Edwin Ross Thomas, the ex-pre- s-

Ident of the Company, retains the tax- -icab end of --the business as a separate institution but the new organization will devote itself solely to themanufacture of high grade pleasurecars of the six cylinder type, and asmall number of strictly town cars,with four cylinder motors.

Novel Device Which, It IsSaid, Solves a Whole

Lot of Trouble.A new device, or generator, invent-

ed by J. K. Delano, Jr., of Indianapo-lis, and brought out by the ElectricIghting Company, it Is claimed willsolve all the ignition and Illuminatingtroubles which beset the owner of acar, as it not only supplies current forelectric lighting' purposes, but for ig-nition as well.

The new generator is designed to bedirect connected to the. automobile en-gine and to run at crankshaft speed.Its regulation is accomplished by elec-trical means entirely, no mechanicalor electro-mechanic- al governing devi-ces being employed in its construc-tion. The system is worked out insuch a way as to graduate the changeof the battery which is used in con-nection with the apparatus, in sucha way . as to give the correct "tapercharge" or diminishing current, as thebattery approaches its full capacityTo protect the battery from improp-er discharg'ng a "reverse current,self-restorin- g" circuit breaker Is introduced between the battery and thegenerator, which prevents current being drawn from the former when theengine is at rest except as may berequired for lighting.' While the details of the ignition end of the system are not disclosed, it is said toyield "a true high-tensi- on magnetospark.',' The lighting portion of thesystem, however, is of . low voltage,and takes the standard form of tungsten lamp. ,.

Appalled oy the increasing numberof wife-beate- rs haled to court for roaltreating their better halves. City Masr- -istrate Appleton this week publiclyadvocated the restoration of the"whipping post" as the most effectivemeans of stopping the abuse of wo--men. ,

Exchange Is nothing more than tgamWlng institution, proof of theircontention that the intrinsic value ofa stock has nothing to do with its admission or rejection and that its list-ing by the Exchange is no guaranteeof Its merit. Coincident with the development of this muss, which it isexpected will lead to legislative action for the State, regulation of theExchange, the premature exposure ofthe effort of the financial interests ofThe Street to get control of the mostwidely circulated magazines of thecountry, and the acquisition of thelargest periodical distributing agencyof the United States, through which ithopes to exercise a censorship oversome of the muckrakers, has addedto Its worries. This exposure hasserved to turn the spot-lig- ht on theso-call- ed "financial departments" in-augurated of late by a number of themagazines. As if this were notenough. The Street has been balkedin its plans to merge the independenttelephone companies of the . countrywith the Bell system. which it hadlooked to provide it with soft pickings ror the next twelve months. Thisaltruistic plan, which would havebrought under a single control ail thelines of land communication in theUnited States with the exception ofthe telepost automatic lines, was niD- -ped in the bud by Attorney GeneralwicKersham, reinforced by several ofthe stronger independent companieswhich declined to surrender their in-dependence.

Talk of future trouble with Japan Isall bosh, nonsense and clap-tra- p, saysTokusuke Sahara, Japanese editor ofthe Shanghai Mercury, who Is gath-ering experience in western Journal-ism in Gotham. The, Mikado's realm,he says, must no longer be regardedas a boy among the nations of theearth and patted patronizingly on thehead as if it was still toddling aroundin knickerbockers.

'I do not think." he says, "there willever be war between the United Statesand Japan. Nobody thinks so. Whyshould it be? The criticism of mycountry , is due, I think, to a resent-ment by some nations of the factthat Japan is not any more just a little boy patted on the head. I haveread articles in the Outlook on theJapanese situation, calling for the open door others sayingthat Japanese emigrants must neverbe permitted to come to the UnitedStates. This is not t consistent. Amjerica is doing very good business inManchuria. . The United . States sellsall the railway supply to Japan."

LUBRICATING OILS.One of the most important question

for every user of a motor of any kindis the proper lubrication, if a motoris not lubricated properly It will notwork right and endless troubles arthe result, all of which might be pre-vented if the proper kind of oil is used.William R. Winn of 240 Stratford av-enue is a dealer ln oils and i has aword or two to say about lubricationwhich will be of interest to those whouse autos or motors for any purpose.He makes a specialty of "Golden" oilsfor the, motor and also carries a fullllne'of other oils for motor use all ofwhich are sold under a guarantee forquality and that the goods shall provesatisfactory to the purchaser.

1,000 TO FOREIGN JLYRKETs'.Of the 8,000 automobiles, which the

Mitchell-Lewi- s Motor Company willship from its big Racine, Wis.- - plantduring the. year 1911, one-eight- h, or atotal or 1,000, wm go to foreign mar-kets. Every continent, every nationthat makes any pretense of being aworld power" and many small prin

cipalities that the average Americanhas never heard of will receive a consignment of one or more of these machines. A feature of this extraordin-ary foreign trade is that every carshipped to a foreign country must bean exact counterpart of those' sold todealers in the United States. Twocountries where the demands forMitchell cars are especially insistentare England and South Afrca, TheEnglishman is proverbially, cautiousand the merits of the better grade ofAmerican made cars are rapidly beingdiscovered oy him. In South Africawhere long ."treks" form a part ofthe life or every man of consequence,the Mitchell cars hare established aclaim for reliability. ! A break downnear a street car line and within amJJ.e of from one to twenty garagesmay be an inconvenience but fifty ormore miles from a railroad in a semi- -civilized country it may easily become a tragedy.

ASSURANCE FROM THORNLEY.Assurance to the public that motor

cycle racing, will be conducted thisyear on a higher plane than ever before is being offered by J. P. Thorn- -ley, Chairman of the Competition Com- -mitteee of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. ,

Chairman Thornley is the man with"the last word" in' the motorcycleracing game. His frown makes orunmakes American records, and it'ssafe to say that he'll frown if everyrule has" not been absolutely followedin any speed or endurance trial. Aschairman of the competition commit-tee, Mr. Thornley issues all F. A. M.sanctions and passes on all records.

"I would like to say that my exper-ience in the past has taught me thatthe best thing for all concerned is arigid - and cold-blood- ed insistence up-on carrying; out the rules for competition," says Chairman Thornley. "Ifpromoters and riders will, study theserules carefully and inform themselvesproperly as to what Is required ofthem, and then stick to them, thingswill be very much better and verymuch more satisfactory.

"The slick article in the promotingend of the game may get away with--a

few things for a time, but sooneror later he will have a hard fall andit will be difficult for hifn to riseagain. Cold-blood- ed insistence uponthe observance of the rulessfwill be theorder of the day from now on, aslong as I am chairnian of the compe-tition committee."

The racing season which is justahead seems particularly promising-t- o

Chairman 9 Thornley .j He.: looks . forWUUUCX1.U1 yciiuiiuautcs m me uiuiurworld. Every feature that makes forgreater reliability, efficiency and econ-omy in the improved mtorcycle of to-day, shows immediate results on thetrack. It is the combination of thesequalities that has made the motor-cj'c- le

a rapidly growing figure In com-mercial life and in recreation, l Thissame combination has produced theracing" machine, with its wonderfulspeed and endurance. It has madepossible such a record as that earlyin this month when a rider went al-most ,100 miles," -- without stopping atthe average rate of 42 2-- 5 seconds tothe mile. -

GASOLENE ANCESTRY.An Interesting sidelight on the orig-

in of automobiles and motorcycles isthrown by a writer in a recent num-ber of "The World's. Work, who saysthat the motorcycle "the little broth-er of the automobile" is really Its an-cestor.

"Daihiler and the early experiment-ers in the vehicle field," he says," "be-gan by hitching small motors, bothsteam and gasoline, to the bicycle.The early automobiles were little morethan quadri-cycl- es with ' tubularframes and , wire wheels. Our roadssoon discouraged that sort of design-ing, but some Of the pioneers stuckto the 'single-tracke- r.' The modernmotorcycle is the result; after but fiveyears of industrial history it now bidsfair to prove, its utility, both for bus-iness and for pleasure.

"Equipped with from 2 to 8 horse-power and capable of , carrying from300 to 500 pounds of load, It has comeinto sudden popularity, particularly inthe Middle West and on the PacificCoast. There are 3,000 motorcyclesin Los Angeles , alone. , It is capableof going where the automobile cannot;Its first cost is" less, and Its up-ke- ep

is almost negligible. It has been driv-en over hundreds of miles of railroadties and has picked its way throughmany 'impassable' roads."

THE HUDSON "S3."The Hudson Motor Car Co., claim the

distinction of having built the . "onedifferent" automobile of 1911. An inspection of the various models on exhlbltion , at the E. M. Jennings Co.'sgarage, 277 Fairfield avenue, satisfiesone that this claim Is not wholly without foundation. The body design, aswell as the mechanism is totally different from any car seen by the writ-er this season. The car has mark-ed individuality. If you examinethis car closely, you will notice .that onthe motor, the transmission plant andthe rear of the chassis the fewness ofrods, wiring and connections thatmake some automobiles ' look like ajumble of levers, supports and othernever-to-be-understo- od mechanismsare missing. This simplicity countsmuch in the operation of a car, andshould tend toward reducing the expense of maintenance.

Another noticeable feature i the accessibllity of all parts. Ths is notonly a great convenience but enablesthe driver to keep the various partsclean and well oiled which should addto the life and serviceableness of thecar.

The Roadster type, might aptly betermed the Racer type for the bodyoutline is aistmctiy the Racer outline.Th's car appeals particularly to one asa distinctive creation and while ithas been called the "most widely copled car in America" It has individuality found in no other car constructed at the present time it is Hudsonexclusiveness, made so by Its masterbuilder and designer, Howard E. Coffin.

Twenty or thirty of the most prom -insnt millionaires in town have foryears evaded the enforcement of acersonal tax here by claiming resi -dence ln other States, principallyRhode Island, Connecticut and NewJersey. Andrew Carnegie and JohnD. Rockefeller, whose enormous for -tunes are invested principally lnstocks and bonds susceptible of a per--sonal tax, consent to retain a legalresidence in New York only on con- -

. dltion that they pay a nominal sumeach year. Carnegie, whose wealth isestimated at 1400,000.000 is taxed on

.but $5,000,000, which .represents aboutone-quart- er of his total annual in- -come and a . trifle more than percent of his total wealth on the basisof which the tax is supposed to becomputed. Rockefeller, who is believ- -ed to be worth at least 1600,000.000pars on even less. Commanding thelargest degree of protection from theauthorities of the city, the millionairesof New York pay less taxes per cap--lta than many of the smaller realty

'owners of the city.
