Without Shift.
MACHINE A STOCK CAE
Late Friday afternoon the much
looked for Pathfinder twin six mak
ing the coast to coast run in "high
gey" reached Omaha, with Walter
A.(Wetdely at the wheel and Heine
Scholer as a companion.
The boys Jooked very much at if
the sun had been in close touch with
them, but xi no attempt at speed is
being made, they did not wear the
customary motor goggles and hood.
To every appearance they were just
ordinary tourists.
Upon .inspecting the car the first
thing which is noticeable is the
AAA placard, which states that the
car has been inspected by an official
of that association and judged a stock
car in every respect, even to the gear
ratio, This statement is certified to
by Ralph W. Smith, vice president of
the American Automobile association.
Always "On High."
The car left San Diego July 3 and
has traveled over the Sierra Nevada
mountains and Rocky mountain with
all gears except high and reverse
sealed. The seals bear the AAA
stamp. To date the car hat traveled
3,076 miles, that being the distance
traveled to Omaha.
The entire distance has been over
the Lincoln Highway and it is hoped
that this will prove the practicability
of making this route the government
route from coast to coast.
During the entire trip the car has
been escorted by pilots from various
cities. This in order that there may
be no doubt or chance to negotiate
the grades in anything' but high gear.

signatures from people along the
route showing that every hill was
made in high gear.

The car will reach New York City

be put on the track at Shepshead Bay
in an effort to show that the car will
still do sixty-five miles per hour.

Steams-Knight In
-Big Demand; Omaha
" To Get Its Share
The F. B. Stearns company of
Cleveland, makers of the Steams
Knight car, represented by the Mcln
' tyre Auto company in this vicinity,
have recently doubled their produc
tion schedule,' and are now producing
twice as many "4" and "8" cylinder
Knight motored -cars as they did last
year; the schedule calling for over
live thousand machines.
This nroduction was oversold in
less than a month after the announce
ment was out In tact, tour cities.
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
'Chicago, wanted the entire output.
This of course, Stearns refused to do,
preferring to build, up the business the
country over. ... . ,
The Omaha district will have its
full share of the increased production.
An extra allotment may be needed.
Drives Through
, Midsiunmer Snow
E. M. Cox, Seattle, Wash., recently
Hrnvft a new Grant Six through the
heavy snows of the Snoqualmie Pass
enroute from Seattle to North Yaki
ma, Wash.
"It was a strikingly novel experi
ence," writes Mr. Cox. "We left
Seattle warm and muggy, everybody
seeking the cool spots, and, in a few
hours we were in so cool a region
that overcoats were called Into use
and our car was buried in snow to
the top of the radiator. .
"The Grant Six proved itself eaual
to the occasion, and we pushed
through, making the 200 miles from
Seattle to Yakima in slightly less than
tlrven hours. Considering the con
Mition of the roads and the depth of
the snow In many parts of the pass,
wc consider that we made, a rather,
remarkable trip."
Mr. Cox was accompanied on his
trip by two friends and a guide. His
letter to tne uraut company con
lamril manv interesting: snapshots,
showing the car almost buried in the
snow. - . ' . .

DEAF MUTES PROVE
SPLENDIDWORKHEH
Qronp of Fifty Is Employed in
Manufacture of Ooodyear
Auto Goods.
THEY ABE "LIVE WISES"
One of the sturdiest and steadiest
groups of workmen to be found at
the plant of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company - at Akron, O., is
composed of deaf mutes. From time
to time Goodyear has accepted them
as employes when well recommended
and able to pass the physical re
quirements. So successful have been
Goodyear's efforts in training them to
become efficient workmen, thereby
enabling them to compete success
fully With their more fortunate broth
ers, that the company has received
many expressions of commendation
for the interest manifested in them.-
Are Expert Mechanics.
Bv their exoertness in buildim and
finishing Goodyear tires they have
demonstrated that the lack of ability
to hear and speak need not necessarily
become an insurmountable handicap
for they are among the most efficient
of Goodyear workmen. Care has been
exercised in assigning them to tasks
from which the accident hazard has
been practically eliminated.
That Goodvear has orovided well
for their personal safety is evidenced
by the fact that in two years not
one of the fifty mutes employed has
experienced an accident. By working
them in Squads under supervisors
able to converse with them in their
sign language, their working condi
tions are made congenial and their
efficiency enhanced.
Have Athletic Teams. , '
Among the most enthusiastic con
tenders for Goodyear athletic honors
are the foot ball, base ball and basket
ball teams of these workmen. Not
the least interesting feature of their
athletic activities is their unique sys
tem of signaling to each other. -
A fraternity has for some time ex
isted among the deaf mutes of the
Goodyear and a club is about to be
formed by means of which good fel
lowship may be promoted among
them. In every manner possible,
Goodyear is co-operating to make
them efficient and contented work
men. ' . ' . . , - , .; .
Farmers Now Are
Driving Cars All
The Year Around
That the use of automobiles in
winter is no longer confined to the
larger cities, says George A. Kissed,
president of the Kissel Motor Car
company, inventor of the all-year car.
Kissell asserts that the demand for
this, type is, in ever-increasing per
centage, coming front' the smaller
towns, as well as from the more popu
lous centers, i" -
"It is now apparent," says Mr. Kis
sel, "that next winter will find thou
sands of farmers buying cars. . In
most parts of the country roads are
open a greater share of the time, and
there is no period in which a farmer
may better enjoy both, the practical
and pleasurable features of motoring
than in the winter. If he cares to take
the folks into town for shopping or
amusement he has the leisure and,
thanks to the automobile, the opportu
nity to do so."

Several New Ideas Are Used in

Latest Models.
TOTOma r OAKS AT $1,085
The 1917 Velie "BiltweV Six line
of automobiles has been announced,
In the light of increased cost of ma
terials, and greater values included,
the fact that the orices contiues low
$1,085 for the touring car, is decidedly
interesting.
Timken axles snd bearings are now
featured with all' models. The tour
ing body is longer and roomier than
formerly.' Body sides round over into
a new and pleasing design. Finish
and equipment is ,iully up to Velie
standard. ' '
Velie-Continental motor, multiple
disc clutch, push button starter and
all superior, features have been fur
ther improved and retained, the line
itself increased to include seven body
styles on- the $1,085 . chassis among
which is a new and decidedly differ
ent ' four-passenger roadster and a
sedan with removable plate windows.
. A. larger seven-passenger Six, at
$1,550, with 45-h. p. motor, four
speed trasmission and unusual lux
ury completes, the 1917 offerings. -
In the light of Velie's trebled suc
cess this past year the new announce
ment has been looked forward to for
some time. The low prices give even
more than was expected. .,

TOWN OR COUNTRY
The Packard Twin Six is . master of
any situation to be met in town or
country driving.
On road, track, boulevard and moun
tain trail it has shown itself to be the
eventual power for all particular service.
It gives to the new. Packard a rapidity
of pick-up, a range of high -gear ac
tivity, an ease of hill-climbing and a
sureness of sustained speed never be
fore: combined in any motor car.

The Chandler Type 17 thousands of them on the road today from coast
to coast and giving the most satisfactory service is distinctively the med
ium priced car of the year. .;X-
It's the car of a perfected motor, and the most beautiful body design.
It is the car of greatest all around value and no marked up price. There is
ample excuse for an advance in price, but it would not add to the value to
increase the price. - w , -
