Some Interesting comparisons of ths serv
ice, of a horse-drawn vehicle and that
driven by motor are given out by the T.
O. Northwall company, agents for the
Brush runabout. , Concrete caaea which are
typical of the average owner's experience
with the delivery wagons of the company
are given. The company claims that It
costs eight-tenths' of 1 cent per mile under
normal conditions to operate the car. This
Includes gasoline and oil only.
Two cents a mile for depreciation and
tires Is a very liberal allowance and will
allow for all repair and also for the pur
chase of a new delivery wagon before the
car Is worn out. On car with driver does
the work of two horses, two wagona and
two drivers, and does II easier and cheaper,
counting all cost and Including deprecia
tion and tire In an actual teat made in
November over streets one-huif of which
were unpaved and muddy una car covered
thirty-six miles, delivered 1& packages of
laundry, took In all the laundry on the
trip,, each package being lied before being
placed In the wagon, between the hours of
7 a. m. and 3 p. m. The total cost
amounted to 47 cent. Including the al
lowed depreciation ot 72 cents, figured at
t cents per mile, and one driver's wages,
12, the total comes to S3. 19.
Regularly two horses and wagona and
two drivers have beeu employed to do this
work, and It required from 7 o'clock In the
morning until 7 and 8 o'clock In the even
ing. Following Is the coat of the horse de
livery system: Two drivers' wages, $t;
hay and oats for two horses, 75 cents; de
preciation at tbe rate of l.cent per mile,
ttf cents. This brings the total to $3.11.
Washing tires and wfcshlng a car are
two different propositions. Water alone
should be used to wash tirea and as Uttli
of It as necessary. After every run the
envelope should b wiped clean with a
damp sponge vr well wrung cloth
A common mistake made by motorists
Is to nilx keroseqe with the water. .Thlo
may ;be advisable when washing the body
of a 'car to remove mud and dust from the
varnish, but It should never be done when
wwshing tires because kerosene eat rub
ber. This fact tan be r. adly proved by
Immersing u. small piece, of rubber in
kerosene and allowing It to soak. The
rubber will soon swell and lose Its elastic
Ity. The reason for this is apparent. Kerj
aene Is rich In fatty properties, whlc'i re
main after the evaporation of the gases.
Evtry time a tire is washed with a kero
aene mixture the rubber la deprived of
more of Ita strength.
When Washing tires It is best to a:mply
dampen a eponga with clean water, care
being taki n tl at the aponge is not soaked
and dripping. Then wipe t'ie tirea dry
wltli a cloth or handful of wast.

"Dlainoud motorcycle tirea ar built just
like the automobile tires. And In these
days everyone knows how automobile tirea
are built. The same South Sea Inland cot
ton fabric Is used and automobile tire
methods of construction are used through
out. The reason for this is that the mo

motorcycle tires must carry loads Just as

Denlse Barkalow aaid: "In extending Its
ales activities to the French capital the
Packard Motor Car company has departed
from a long established policy which lim
ited Its field to the United States, Canada
and Mexico. Herbert Hughes, who came
up through the Packard shops and now
ranks a a technical expert, will look after
th selling end of the enterprise In Paris,
as well as aiding Packard tourists In get
ting through the red tape o! the continent.
"I'p to the present time the Packard es
tablishment in Paris has been devoted to
extending Packard service to owners who
had taken their cars abroad.
"A growing demand In France, encour-
f aged by Packard tourists, for a car com
bining a reasonable amount of speed and
power with a high standard of efficiency
and adaptability has Influenced the com
pany In extending Its sales operations to
French territory. A dependable car. com
pletely equipped, for one fixed price, Is de
clared to possess certain advantages In

a figure for th chassis and have supple

From California comes tbe story ef an
other "Mitchell Six'' triumph, the big car
this tlm having won first honors as a
now plow by carrying tb first party to
reach th famous Calaveras big trees this
spring.
The trip aas organised in Stockton,
tlghty-flv miles from the grove of big
redwoods, and th four men who mad It
traveled through every variety of season
from where the early crocuses were In
biuom to where the snow was twelve feet
deep. Twenty-five miles out of Stockton
snow began to appear by the roadside and
before fifty miles had been covered the
car was compelled to "buck", white drifts
that would have barred the progress of a
less capable machine. Often it would be
necessary to run full speed Into a drift
three or four times before a path could be
forced tbrougb it.
Over the last twenty mile of the trip the
car traveled through snow from three to
four feet deep on the level. By backing
up and plunging forward again every time
the car was r.talled the party managed to
get within a mile and half of where the'
biggest trees were. Here the car was
abandoned and tying on long Norwegian
skis the four men finished their Journey,
being the first to catch sight of the cen
turies old giants since the snow of early
winter fell around them. '
Near the famous tree through which the
stage cqarhes drive In summer a hole was
dug through th snow to measure Its depth.
Jt was twelve feet from the crust to the
ground beneath It and the Mitchell Six
had gotten within a mile and a half of the
place.
The run back to Stockton was made in
the night In a third of the time It had
taken on the outgoing trip. The broken
road through the Bnow was easy to fol
low. Although the car which made the
trip had previously traveled over 18.000
miles it required no attention whatever on
the trying Journey.

A device destined to revolutionize the

of Worcester, Mass, claims for his latest
Invention.
"It is so simple you wonder why someone
did riot think of It before," said Mr. Martin
In describing his patent.
"My Invention consists of a frame, carry
ing a motor and transmission machinery,
that may he attached to the front axle
of any ordinary wagon In a short time at
a comparatively .small expense, making a
far more efficient power vehicle than Is
possible with ordinary motor truck con
struction. "The frame is supported by a single
wheel In front for steering a single wheel
In order to get the three-point suspension
and enalie th , vehicle to turn in much
shorter space than wcr two wheels used.
"It Is attached to the wagon by soft
springs, th power being applied to' the
front wheels of the veliicle, which are
provided with sprockets and special trao.
