'The larrrest gathering of motor car
builders In the history of the Industry
was present at the semi-annual meeting
of the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce In New York City when draw
ings were held for space at the New Tork
and Chicago automobile shows," states
C. J. Corkhlll of the Nebraska Haynes
Auto Sales company, distributers In this
territory for the Haynes.
"The Haynes company drew space
B-J2. which covers 919 square feet for their
exhibit at the New Tork show, which
will again take place at the Grand Cen
tral Palace, week of January 2 to ; and
for the Chicago show, which will be held
as usual at the Coliseum, the company
drew epaca H. I., which covera 24 square
feet.
"Last January at the Chicago show,
the Haynes co-upany sold more cars than
at all the previous shows held In the
Windy City combined; but with the popu
larlty of the Hames "Light Six" It Is
predicted that all Haynes " records for
cars sold at similar events will be shat
tered. It Is stated that there will be ap
proximately 6G0 exhibitors at the New
Tork and Chicago events. Of this num
ber 101 will exhibit passenger cars, while
the aalancn will exhibit accessories and
products of allied trades that enter Into
the making of the modem motor cars.
Applications Many.
"8. A. Miles, manager of the shows, re
ported that applications fur the fifteenth
annual exhibitions exceeded In number
those for any previous affair of the
kind. It being Impossible to provide for
seven of the car applications received
for the Chicago show.
, "The drawing showed that the last
year has seen little or no Increase In the
number of manufacturers, the cars rep
resented at the drawing being the old-
timers in the field. In this connection it
is interesting to note that the Haynes
company participated In the fourteen an
nual exhibitions held In New Tork and
Chicago a record that can be duplicated
,by very few of the present day manu
facturers."
shows why he ts so proud of hla Max
well. "On a gasoline test last week, I
drove the Maxwell, loaded with five pas
sengers, thirty-five miles with a heavy
road for one-half the distance, on a gal
Inn and a half of gasoline. The whole
distance was over very ordinary and Mlljr
country roads."
Reason Why Fords
Light in Weight,
Strong in Power
An automobile expert of national repu
tatlnn recently made some Investigations
to discover for. himself the secret of
"pulling power," and the "animation" of
Ford cars. , .Ford cars are recognised
everywhere as being" exceptionally light
In weight, yet they also have refused to
take second position to'a,ny car In ability
to 'go and come back," and to negotiate
grades. The engineer In question wanted
to know why, for the problem of weight
is a nice one Involving such Important
factors as safety, power, an economical
operation. " ' 1
It Is well known that the number of
cubic Inches of piston displacement gives
the fairest idea of relative power and,
therefore, furnishea an accurate basis
for comparisons of the "pulling: power1
in question. The Investigator made some
interesting discoveries, proving that the
exceedingly high power per pound weight
of the Ford is borne out by the results
obtained from a compilation of ratios of
weight to cubic inches of piston displace
ment. All the leading American cars
were compared. The average for all ex
cept the Ford Is somewhat over eleven
pounds of total weight to each cubic inch
ui pinion Displacement. The Ford. It was
found, has . the lowest weight-to-power
ratio of any car. Its figures of only 7.95
pounds to be carried by each oublo Inch
of piston displacement shows why It
rides the hills so surely, why It la always
humming cheerily along over sand and
ruts, and tough, rough roads In spring,
iummer, autumn and winter the depend
able, universal motor car.
Packard Builder
Says War Does Not
Stop Motor Sales
Excerpts from the annual report of
Henry B. Joy, president of the Packard
Motor Car company, throw interesting
light on conditions In the industry at
large. A spirit of optimism is In evidence
In the opening paragraph.
"It is most gratifying to note that, even
during the month or August, the first
month during which war In Europe was
in active operation, our sales of motor
carriages to customers were considerably
stronger than In the corresponding month
a year ago, and It is proper to state that
the sales of motor carriages during Au
gust, September and up to the date of
this report have been about the' same as
last year, while .our commercial vehicle
sales are such as to tax our manufactur
ing capacity to the maximum for several
months.
"The future of the motor car Industry
Is gradually, we feel, clearing up for
manufacturers. The strenuous develop
ment period through which we have been
going bus produced In a few years the
most rapid crystallisation In the motor
vehicle Industry, probably mora rapid
than ever occurred la any other mechan
ical art."
Virginia Hills Easy
For Little Maxwell
Nowhere In the country Is there a better
place to test motor cars than In the state
of Virginia. With Its mountainous coun
try and rough, hilly roads this state will
"make or break" the reputation of a car
in a short time. ,
M. P. Farrier of Pearlsburg, Va., la a
man whose business takes him into every
corner of his state 'and he makes moat
of his trips In his Maxwell car. Conse
quently Mr. Farrier ts In-a position to
judge automobile from every angle.
Writing to the Maxwell company In
Detroit a few days ago, Mr. Farrier told
of aeveral Interesting experience which 1
ha had while riding la the Maxwell. In i
one Instance he towed a car of large make
up a hill and four miles into the nearest
town.
Ihe new model which Mr. Farrier re
cently purchased has been run over 1,300
miles and has not yet needed an adjust
ment. An extract from Mr. Furrier's letter
New Equipment for
Cadillac Cost Over
Half Million Cash
Most people have but the vaguest Idea
of the tremendous amount of preparatory
work and attendant expense Involved la
the production of a new model motor car.
The pulblo Is at a loss, perhaps, to
understand why. In these days, changes
In design and construction are seldom
radical. It perceives that most cars ad
here pretty closely In their new modeki
to what has become, to them, standard
design. Motor car makers who produce
In their own plants all the essential parts
for their cars have big Investments In
machinery equipment, and what may ap
pear to be minor changes In construction
often necessitate costly changes In plant
equipment and operations. For that rea
son many manufacturers prefer to avoid
radical alterations In their cars.
As an Instance, the eight-cylinder Cad
illac recently announced a distinct de
parture from any previous American de
sign necessitatea approximately half a
million dollars In nw machinery, tools,
jigs, dies, fixtures and other equipment.
Thla Investment, of cqunse, will be spread
over the production of thousands of cars
and probably for a long period of time.
The new type of cylinder block and new
shape crank case demanded huge milling
machines, different from those the Cadil
lac had used In the production of previous
models. The same was true of the ma
chines , which cut tho bevel gears In the
rear axle. The teeth on the driving!
pinion and the large differential gear In
the new car are of tho helical type, which
could not be formed wtlh the equipment
previously used. There ere many other
Instances where new equipment was neo
essary, each calling for an additional ex
penditure. In the light of these facts It can readily
be understood why many manufacturers
prefer to follow their own standard de
signs and avoid radical changes.
Firestone Company
Holds Conclave of
District Salesmen
One of the best recent sales conven

Overland Registers
Very Biggest Week
The biggest week In the history of the
Wlllys-Ovcrliind company closed Satur
day, October 17. The volume of business
done during the six working days broke
all previous records of the company.
Actual shipments were made totalling
1,400 Overland cara, representing a value
of more than f 1,800,000. This figure Is
exclusive of shipments of motor trucks,
and other products sold by the Willys-
Overland company, which would greatly
Increase 'the total.
Since- the start of the fiscal Overland
year in July 11,400 cars had been shipped
up to and including October lis This Is
an Increase of 40 per oent over the ship
ments made during the corresponding
period of last year and is 600 per cent
greater than those of two years ago.

Little Water Will .
Remove Carbon from
Motor Carburetor
An Ignorant laborer In the testing room
of an engine faotory la responsible for
one of the greatest boons to motorists
ever discovered.
A tester had just started a kerosene
engine, and as it Is neceessry to "liven'
up a kerosene motor with gasoline In
Jected from a squirt can into the air In
take of the carburetor, he was Industri
ously helping the machine along when
the squirt can ran dry.
Calling the laborer he tojd him to fill
the ran with gaaollne. The laborer, not
understanding English very well, filled
the can with water and brought It back
to the tester.
Meanwhile the engine was running
alone as best It could, smoking and miss
ing fire, until a little gasoline" was shot
into It from the refilled squirt can, when
to the astonishment of the tester the
motor picked up speed and ran without
smoking.
Naturally he Investigated matters anj
eventually traced the Improvement to
water In the squirt can. He then tiled
It on a gasoline motor and dMcovere-l
that while It did not greatly affect th
ojeratlim of a gasoltue entilne that It
would remove the raibon collected on the I
tnsldn of the cylinders.
It Is surprising how few repair men.
experts and motorcar drlvi rs know about
this handy method of removing carbon
from a motor, so M. . Young, engineer
antl deslKner of the Regal Motor Car
company., has consented to Klve the fol
lowing Instructions for Its use.
Procure a squirt can. fill It with water,
tart your motor, rnlse the bonnet on the
carburetor side and with- the run Inject a
few drops of water Into the air Intake
of the carburetor while the motor Is run
ning. Keep this up a few drops at a
time for several minutes. It certainly la
easier than taking the motor down to
scrape out the carbon, and really does
clean out the motor In good shape.
Willys Given First
Space at Big Shows
For the serond consecutive Year the
Willys Overland company has been
awarded th first choice of exhibition
spare at the New York ,j Chicago au
tomobile shows. The awards are basej
entirely on the volume of business done
by the yfnipnnles affiliated with the Na

which Includes all of the large manufac
turers of hlKh grade automobiles In the
l"nlled tSnles.
The spare allotments were made at a
meeting held fur that purpose by the
chamber, which promotes the two biggest
show events on the automobile calendar.
Tho action officially shows that the
Willys Overland company haa been the
largest manufacturer connected with the
organisation for the Inst two years. It
shows also that the Overland la beyond
