a motor car had aver been aeen In that
vicinity. Cloeely following Mr. Matthew
came five of th new high duty four
cylinder Jackson, whloh have bea
termed the Model We.
Probably no Stirrer teat waa ever put
. ih MriMi nf a motor oar than the
ahooka administered by traveling over the
corduroy roads. The loga lata acroae me
road furnished a continual hammering
at the anting. At no time Were tha
famous full elllptla apringa on Jackaon
cara more aelf-evldent than In their abil
ity to take up tha ahock without damage
to themsetvea or discomfort to tha pas
sengers. The dealera who accompanied th party
were ao enthuelaetlo over th perform
ance of the new eight and four-cylinder
cara that they talked of Uttl U th
day following their entry Into camp. The
pulling ability of the small model 84 with
the high duty four-cylinder motor In
heavy sand and on long gradee was re
markable. On several smooth stretches
of road aa high aa fifty mllea an hour
waa attained by these cara and the total
lack of vibration was surprising. The
eight-cylinder model, of course, more
than fulfilled th many predlctlona made
for It, both aa to power and speed.
Plaa for Casapal-.
Wednesday morning, th seoond day in
camp, the first business meeting was
called to order by Bales Manager How
ard Matthewa Plans for the sales cam
pa Urn of tha coming year were discussed,
and the big distributer from the metro
politan centers showed keen Interest In
th two new eights and the new four
cylinder models which- Jackson will
shortly announce. In addition to the
sales talks, technical Information on the
new model was furnished by Chief En
gineer Ounn of th Northwar Motor com
pany. Thursday was given up to further bust.
ness sessions and fishing expedition
wer carried out by various member of
the party. Not th least Interesting- de
velopment of tha day was th placing ot
orders for hundreds of Jackson oars by
the dealers In attendance).
Starting? for home Friday, th party
followed a somewhat different route,
passing through Cadlllao, Lake View
Beldlng, Ionia and Lansing, arriving at
Jackson on Schedule time.
Iowa and Nebraska
Roads Very Good
liver since early spring the publlo
has been reading that transcontinental
tourists have found travel through th
middle western states extremely diffi
cult In the matter of roads. Such state
ments are flatly contradicted by tha men
In the moving picture party now filming
.he great cross-country route.
Those in the Studebaker car accom
panying the expedition aay that not once
have they encountered roada Impossible
lo get through. Even at Marshalltown,
la., storlea of stalled cars' were heard,
but on going forward these reports were
not verified. At Omaha stories of dozens
af machines mired along the road were!
heard, yet no difficulty at all waa en-!
countered and not a single ear was aeen
stuck. Hearing similar reports of cars
which oould not get through, some motor
ists have become alarmed and ahlpped
their cara by rail, and probably told
other people that tha roada ar Impas
sible. Perhaps shortly after rain, parties
might find the roads slippery and soft,
but In from three to six hours after a
storm tha roada ar normal again, due
to tha quick-drying qualities bf the'aoU
throughout the middleweat.

PILOTLESS PAIGE STARTLES
WITH NEW DEMONSTRATION
A alx-cyllnder, seven-passenger touring
ear without a soul aboard, but calmly
ambling up one of tha principal thor
oughfare of New Haven. Conn., threw
the Inhabitants of th celebrated home of
Tale university into a state of consid
erable excitement a few weeka ago. Be
fore the mystery had been solved trolley
car conductors, pedestrians, automobile
driver and even the chief of police vol
unteered for a role in the little dram,
only to discover that no asalstano was
neoesaary.
The ear that stirred New Haven waa a
Palgre "Slx-4" and It waa turned loose
In th city streets by a salesman of the
New Haven Palg distributers. The
Paige was started on Whitney avenue
In high and throttled down and than left
to It own devieoa. It rolled along at
about two miles aa hour with the sales
man la charge walking along tha aide
walk to keep ambitious and over-excited
Peopl from manias; to an ill-advised res
sue. The Palg proceeded thua for aeveral
blocks, passing automobile and trolley
oars running In the opposite direction.
Whll th "phantom ear" shattered the
nerve of a few the demonstration was
certainly eomplet and entirely success
ful There l no longer any question
In th minds of th New Haven dtlsens
that th Palg la flexible and will throt
tie down to a walk on high. Even the
hlef of polio admlta It.
Motorists' Gossip
Heard at tho Omaha
Auto Club Rooms
"Bpeaklng of good roada through Iowa
and Nebraska," remarked Mrs. J. P.
Packham. Boston, Mane., who stopped
tiff In Omaha last week, "w made the
trip from Chicago to Denver la Juet five
rtaya and a few minutes and ocnuldertng
tha mileage, 1.14. and tha freak weather
w have had, I consider thla good going."
P. A, Walls, th club counsel, reports
that th olua has paid alt W reward In
tha last two weeka to polio offloere for
th arrest and oonviotion of persons
throwing glass en th publlo streets. "A
few years ago," remarked Mr. Welts,
"before the clufe took up thla Important
feature of safeguarding punctures to mo
torists, It waa not unoommoa to awe our
streets littered with broken glass, even
on th downtown streets."
"W ar almply Jubilant over th splen
did support the elub Is receiving from
tha motorists," said President J. 1C
Ueorge, when asked what growth had
been made. "Tha applloattona ar liter

P, A. Walla, the aiub counsel, will mo
tor to bla summer home on the shores
of beautiful Crow Wing lake, Minnesota,
the latter part of the coming week.
Eastern tourists passing through
Omaha have heard rumors that Harry
Thaw Is motoring toward Omaha, but
they could give no definite newa where
he waa last seen.
Dallas, Tel., Jitneys are no more. The
new license fee stopped th nickel get

Studebaker Car
Climbs Boston Hill
A 1916 alx-cyllnder Studebaker holds
the record ot climbing Uio steep Incline
of Boston's Corey hill, In high gear.
Just to show that It waa not merely a
one time, or lucky feat, the car was
made to repeat the teat, performing
with the same ease as marked th first
ascent This was but one of a series
ot .difficult performances shown by the
car In on afternoon, without its hav
ing undergone any preparatory adjust
ment. The Insistent demand on th part of
automobile buyers for Increased power,
oomlng with the more extended use of
automobiles for touring purposes, has
been met by Studebaker In th new mod
els, as tha Boston and reports of other
tests mad over th country can be con
sidered to conclusively show. Not only
In hill climbing, but In negotiating rough
and rain soaked roads, have the new
Studebaker realised the Ideal of the
designer, and the suocessful demonstra
tions are pronounced by witnesses aa
speaking volumes for the car's ability.

A base ball game In th morning between

Lightness in Auto

Hailed with Delight
'The trend of automobile rim design la
toward almpllclty and lightness," says E.
R. Hall of the Goodyear Tlr and Rubber
company' engineering department.
"This development toward lightness will
be hailed with delight by many automo
bile manufacturer, tending a It does, to
reduce car weight and tlr expense. The
rim now being placed before th dealera
for thla year's selling harmonise with the
principles sought by many car maker.
"It la th consensus of opinion among
dealers and manufacturers that th
transition from the cumbersome, Chlneaa-
pussle rim with lis many complicated
parts, to th simplified type, will soon
be effected. Our quick detachable rtm
shows this trend to a higher degree than
any so far displayed. The aide ring and
the locking flange ar Oomblned ana
can be anapped off the wheel In an In
stantand off slips the tire. After the
tire Is replaced the side flang snaps into
