" Successful Experiment by Penn
yWania Railroad.
FOB SERVICE IN BALTIMORE
The Fennsylvanla railroad of Baltimore,
Mi, la utilising a Fierce-Arrow slxty-1t
horsepower engine as a motive power
plant In It new tractor, which la causing
considerable Interest In railroad circles.
On account of the Baltimore city onli
ne nee which prohibits the use of steam
locomotives through the streets on the
"block route," the movement of freight
ears over the so-called "block route" has
been formerly accomplished by eight
horse teams. The Pennsylvania railroad
hat been the target of considerable com-
plaltlt from business men because of the
persistent use of out-of-date and the slow
horse method of hauling freight cars. For
this reason they were anxious to sea the
"block route" in ' Baltimore covered by
an up-to-date and efficient motor tractor.
The electrto tractor was designed and
built especially for use in Baltimore by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company In
their shops In Altoona, Pa. Its charac
teristics are essentially adapted for serv
ice ' In Baltimore as regards elimination
ofriolses and smoke,-and providing a
safer, more sightly, more efficient and
seltt-contained form of motor power. No
expense has been spared to obtain the
moat efficient and quiet running auxiliary
machinery, motor and gearing to be had.
As- example the following may be men
Hosed:
:. Pleasure Car Engine Used.
AV" Fierce-Arrow sixty-six horsepower
automobile engine Is the essential prime
mover. Cheaper but noisier truck engines
were available, but the best pleasure car
engine as used In 16,000 cars was Insisted
upon In the Ironclad Instructions which
T. ;V. Buckwalter, the designer, handed
to the railroad engineers when designing
the , tractor. The standard, sixty-six
Pierce-Arrow engine is used, comprising
the-same self-starter, electrlo " lighting
plant control board as used on pleasure
car. A General Electric generator Is di
rectly connected to the Pierre-Arrow en
gine which furnishes power direct, to the
two' electric motors on the two .axles for
th four-wheel drive. The engine runs at
constant speed of 8TO revolutions per mln
"tLT whereas, .the same engine la some
times operated at twice that speed in a
touring ear. '
The tractor-runs with equal facility in
r uoer direction; in fact, both ends are
iront-ends. Freight cars can be pushed
or pulled. Thus, If a car is placed a few
feet too far in spotting. It can Instantly
be placed as wanted without uncoupling.
The tractor will handle six loaded freight
?nr on level track and two loaded cars
in; Monument hill in Baltimore, which, la
ensldorablejgrade, The weight of this
IraVtoF 'eflmplpfB 'is "about 87,000 pounds

Studebaker Runs
Set High Records
The Grand .Prix has Its thrills, but
devoid of certain features, no more than
the recent nation-wide 100,000-mile re
liability run of Studebaker dealers. There
were 115 entries filed for the event, each
dealer taking a 191C Studebaker out of
his stock to cover at least 250 miles per
,dny for four consecutive days. It was
severe but convincing test of quality
bf steels and workmanship that make
for durability, power and speed. None
of the cars were given any preparation
for the runs beyond oiling and greasing,
llllng radiators and gasoline tanks. The
tst was intended as a demonstration of
'the ability of tho Studebaker cars for
meeting average conditions, as they
might be found by an automobile owner.
Heavy rains, with snow in portions of
the west, established conditions, how
ever, that were somewhat out of the
usual, but each car responded splendidly
to every requirement, setting a high
mark for automobile efficiency.
It was one of most unique tests ever
originated by an automobile manufac
turer, and that it was Interesting to the
reneral public, even beyond the confines
of the motoring world, was evidenced
by the crowds ahlch turned out at
points slong the scheduled routes.
A new Canadian company, known as
the Willys-Overland. Limited, has just
been organised In Canada. It will have
a capital of $0,000,000, with head offices
In Toronto.
Mr. John N. Willys, head of the Willys-
Overland company of Toledo, wilt be pres
ident of the Willys-Overland, Limited. T.
A. Russell, at present vice president of
tho Russell Motor Car company of Can
ada, will be rice president.
Five of the director of the Willys
Overland company of Toledo will be di
rectors of the new company. These five
are J. N. Willys. H. T. Dunn. Walter
Stewart. Harry Bhepler, C. A. Earl of
Toledo, T. A. Russell and Lloyd Harris
of Toronto and two of the other Cana
dian stockholders will also b on ths
board.
- This new company will take over the
complete automobile business of the Rus
sell Motor Car company and all of the
business In Canada of the Willys-Overland
company..
Although the Canadian company will
be independent of the parent company
and. will be run and conducted entirely
Independent aa a Canadian corporation.
it will have the advantage of the advtoe
and engineering skill of the Wlllys-Ovsr-Isnd
company organisation.
Make Cars In Canada.
The plan Is to undertake In Canada the
actual manufacture of both Overland and
Wlllys-Knlght automobiles. For this pur
pose the plant of the Russell Motor Car
company of Toronto has already been ac
quired, and this will quickly be enlarged
to permit quantity production.
Adequate arrangements will be made
for distribution throughout the dominion,
and particular attention will be given to
the provision of service facilities for
Overland and Wlllys-Knlght owners. The
plana In this direction call for facilities
which will surpass anything previously
undertaken tn Canada. In fact, the or
ganisation will, in its facilities and equip
ment, probably equal anything In the
states.
The policy to go Into manufacture and
assembly In Canada will give employ
nient to a large number of people.

Why It is Called
the "Barefoot" Tire
"We have had many Inquiries." said
W. 8. Rutherford, branch manager of
the B. F. Goodrich company, "as to why
the new Ooodricb black tread safety
tire has been called the 'barefoot' tire.
"It is made of 'Hyper rubber,' (an ex
clusive compound recently developed out
of the forty-four years' Goodrich exper
ience in the working of rubber).
"Because, that 'Hyper rubber' clings
to the pavement, for the same reason
that tha sole of your bare foot clings to
slippery surfaces.
"When the clutch of your car Is thrown
'n and the wheels begin to turn, with
first sudden tug on tires, the 'Hyper
rubber sole of the Goodrich tire
stretches between the outer surface con
tracting with the ground and Its Inner
surface which is cemented to the cotton
abric."

"NO APPETITE"
DID YOU SAY
Then your storiiach and digestive

Loss of appetite is always the
first signal of inward weakness, of
a lazy liver, clogged bowels. It
should be given immediate atten
