covered many quarters of the globe re
cently by reappointing agenta In Canada,
Havana, Cuba, and establishing new agen
ties la Cairo. Egypt, the British West In
dies and South America.
Mr. B. S. Wilson of Montreal visited the
Hudson- factory ' here and signed a con
tract for the ensuing year by which he
purchased 100 cara, twenty of them for lm
mediate delivery. The Hudson has secured
a firm 'hold on the affections of Canadian
motorists and the "triangle on the ra
diator Is plainly discernible all over the
dominion.
3. M.' Duenas, who sold the Hudson last
year In Cuba, was also a caller at the Hud
eon plant and signed for another year's
business handling the Hudson on the
Island. He reported even better prospects
for 1911 than the IK 10 business, which was
exceptionally good.
A Hudson touring car has Just been
shipped to Cairo, Egypt, and several more
have been contracted for by the agents for
the Hudson In that ancient city.
By special arrangement a traveling sales
man from the Hudson company will apend
the coming year In British West Indies and
South America, with special attention being
given to Argentina. '
Colonel Dcrlght ' hears this from Mrs.
Fisher of Trenton, N. J., who Is touring
the world In a Locomobile: -
"The heat of the Colorado and Nebraska
prairies," Mrs. FUher writes, "(Turing the
hotest week In July and when the ther
mometer readings were highest In years,
was not as oppressive as that encountered
In India and more endurable than that of
the deserts lit the Holy Land. None of
the sand or heat conditions had any appre
ciable effect upon the big forty, horse
power Locomobile, the second machine of
the make to be utilised by Mrs. Flsbor
since she surprised the motor world In lm
V k making what at that time was an un
paralleled trip for a woman motorist, across
the mountains of Pennsylvania." '

IHE most valuable asset the Cadillac Company pos
sesses is its good name a good name which is not.
merely the result of popular caprice but has been
earned by what the car has done and what it has been. The
Cadillac is, as you know, unique in the kind things that are
said, and thought, and felt about it by thousands of people.
This good name, and the extraordinary good will which
it has engendered everywhere, we -interpret as an obligation
to build a car, so fine as to remove itself automatically from
the likelinood of competition. -
For 1911, therefore, our first thought bur one and only
, thought, in fact has been to satisfy . that widespread and im
plicit confidence which always expects the exceptional from
the Cadillac.
We believe we arc justified in saying that in this larger,
more powerful, more luxurious car, the Cadillac organization
has surpassed itself.
In spite of ten years of devoted adherence to the manufac
turing principle that any one of ten thousand Cadillac's
should be interchangeable in its parts with any other Cadillac
of the tame type, we were not ready so short a time as twelve
months ago to build a car as worthy and as wonderful as this.
Manufacturing plants, like men, must fit themselves to do
; truly great things. Even with a system of standardization
which has no equal in the world and which insures an abso-
Important Improvements in
"Thirty"
INCREASED POWER
Cylinder bore Increased from 4 'A Inches to 46 Inches. This, wjth
more efficient carburetor. tScliebler) which Is water-Jacketed,
effects a material increase In power. Piston stroke, 4Wi
Inchon.
The four cylinders are cast singly, with copper Jackets ap
plied, retaining the exclusive Cadillac features throughout.
INCREASE COMFORT
Wheel base increased from 110 to lit inches, making the car ride
easier than ever. -
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
Double drop frame, t H -inch drop, which makes car set lower,
and this with the larger hood and more roomy tonneau
greatly Improves the appearance.
LARGE RADIATOR
The radiator Is slightly larger, hence has greater cooling capac
ity. Thla Is notwithstanding the fact that the Cadlllao was
never deficient in this respect.
TIMKEN AXLE
Full floating type. Tlmken roller bearing rear axle. Thla is the
same axle as used on a number of America's highest priced
cars.
LARGE BREAK DRUMS
More powerful brakes, more easily applied and greatly Increased
efficiency. Contracting and expanding double acting brakes,
both equalised.
TWO IGNITION SYSTEMS
Two complete and Independent Ignition systems, each with Its
own set of spark pluga. The two Ignition systems consist of
Bosch high tension magneto and the new and improved
Delco system with single unit coll, high tension distributor
and controlling relay. Either system alone is efficient for
operating the car.
ENCLOSED WIRING
All electrical wiring enclosed In copper tubes.
COPPER MANIFOLDS
Coppr manifolds are used for water inlets and outlets In the
circulating system.
REMOVABLE CLUTCH
Clutch may be removed In a very few minutes without disturbing
other members.
lutcly perfect align
ment of parts and the
almost final elimina
tion of friction, the
value of 1911 was not
possible in 1910.
You are receiving
now, we verily believe,
the most advanced type
of exact and scientific
motor car manufacture
which the industry has
produced.

LEGAL STATUS OF CHAUFFEUR
Relatfoas ! Omer aad Hired Driver
as Deflaed la Coart
Derisions.
After a careful review of the leading eases
dealing with the relation of an automobile
and his paid driver, says Clinton M. Mar
shall, It will be seen that the following
propositions have been definitely estab
lished: First; That the chauffeur is an empl ye
and a servant of his employer while en
gaged in and performing business for
which he is hired and paid.
Second: That he Is employed to operate
and drive hU employer's automobile only
at such times and such places aa designated
by his employer personally or by his em
ployer's agent either by express direction
or by Implication.
Third: That any driving by the chauffeur
for his own pleasure or business at such
times or to such places not authorised ex
pressly or by implication by the employer
dots not constitute performance of his
contract of employment, and an Injury
caused by bis negligent operation of the
car while so driving will not have to be
accounted for by the employer In dam
ages. Fourth: That in order to hold the owner
of an automobile responsible for an alleged
Injury caused by another person driving his
machine, the relation of owner and chauf
feur or master and servant must be ehown
to have existed at the time. '
Fifth: That the borrower of an automo
bile cannot make the person loaning it
responsible for the former's conduct or acta
for the reason that there Is no relation of
mutter and servant in such a case; there
Is no hiring.
There are probably more decisions on
the relation of owner and chauffeur and
the owner's liability for hla chauffeur's
conduct in driving than thre are regard
ing any other tagal aspect of motoring.
It can readily be seen why this Is true.
There Is at all times a presumption that
any one employed to drive a car for an
other, while so doing, is the servant of his
employer, and, therefore, the burden of
proving otherwise and rebutting this pre
sumption is on the defendant, yet the
burden is on the plaintiff when attempt
ing to hold the owner liable for an In
Jury caused by the employe or chauffeur
to show that the general relation of mas
ter and servant existed. When this is
fchown to have been the case, it is pre
sumed to continue until proven otherwise,
ordinarily.
The doctrines or agency are playing an
important part In everything that has to
do with the automobile, and our courts
are being frequently called upon to de
termine the rights and liabilities of par
ties rising out of the acts and conducts
at their agents. The vital question on
which their controversy hinges Is "was
the party acting as agent or servant at
the time he committed the unlawful act
or made or broke the contract T"
That a chauffeur Is such an agent of
his employer that he can bind the latter
for certain current supplies purchased is
probably settled beyond a doubt. A dealer
or manufacturer has the right to presume
that a chauffmir acts for his principal in
making such purchase and can look to
the owner for payment. For a chauffeur to
obtain a secret commission on the sale of
supplies or ports to the detriment of his
employer is clearly illegal under both the
common and the statutory i.
uty to give US his employer every pos-
advantage gained from any transac
tion connected with his employment.-New
York Herald.
A Streaaaas CltUeaeae.
Fellow citizens and voters, we take pleas
ure in putting in nomination aa a non
partisan, or fusion candidate for preeldent
of the United States Mrs. Emily Llnden
rtruther of Fassalo county, New Jersey.
With a base ball bat In one hand and a
hatpin in toe other, the fair and forceful
Lmily defeated the attempts of three
deputy sheriffs to eject her from a building
she occupies as a printing office. This
praiseworthy exemplification of the power
of the prens, and wholesome application of
the big stick pulley, in our opinion, stamps
Mrs. Llndenstruther as especially qualified
to fill the highest office in the land.
