AUTO EPOGH I RACING RESULT Lighter and More Economical Cars to Come from Speed Cru- cible, Claim The struggle for supremacy to be waged this year on the speedways he- tween European and Americqjn cars and drivers is of more interest than ever before to the motoring world be cause it forecasts a new era of avto- mobile design. This was indicate? at the Indianapolis speedway last year when a Baby Peugeot showed its heels to cars of almost twice its size. thus proving that brute size is not - tial to performance. As a result, the Indianapolis sneed- way this year has reduced the limit on the sizes of motors from 300 inches to 183 inches cubic displacement. This means lighter and smaller cars than ever before and therefore more cco- nomical cars. But, despite this limita- tion in size, it is expected that the speed will be higher than ever before and that, because of the improvement in materials, the reliability of the cars will be greater, European designers, both French : nd English, are always busy on special speed creations along these new lines. In America, as far as is known, the manufacturers are doing little, leoing too busy with production, but many drivers are working on their own mounts. De Palma, it is understood, is under contract to drive a French car, but rumors come from Detroit, that he may again appear at the wheel of an American car. Deusenberg is known to have three small eights which will be eligible and the Chevrolet brothers are sure to be contenders. As to the drivers, Earl Cooper, a former member of the Stutz racing team, has just bought a stock Sussex as has Ira Vail, who formerly drove a Hudson Super-Six, and ‘‘Dave” Lewis, an ex-Deusenberg driver. The displacement of the lssex is only 179 inches so it comes well with- in the Indianapolis limits. This to- gether with the remarkable endurance it has displayed, may result in its «n- try In some of the big speedway events by Individuals, but it is not believed that the Essex factory will tuke any active part in speed contests this year. —— aaa BITS OF NEWS GOSSIP FROM MOTOR WORLD Lighter cars, higher mileage, and fewer cylinders are the predictions of auto engineers both in this country and in England for motor vehicles of the future. Five auto speeders were recently sentenced by a Chicago judge to a trip through the morgue and the county hospital to gaze upon the victims of other speeders. .

A motorcycle with a side car was re- cently utilized by a western firm in delivering a piano to its purchaser. The chassis of the side car was pro- vided with a platform. Straps held the piano in place during the journey. A vehicle adapted to travel both on land and in the air has been suggest- ed and designed in the United States. An auto bus has been put in ufe at Anchorage, Alaska, and replaces the malamute and sled. There are now more than fifty-seven special brushes on the market for cleaning automobiles.

In a Maxwell they have had the extreme of attention. For instance, a road engineer, in about 500,000 miles of ex- perimental driving, has con- stantly tested and studied them. That is why you can check the speed of a Maxwell in an instant and bring it to a standstill either by foot brake or hand brake. Special steels in a Maxwell are largely responsible. They give it extra strength in wear and endurance, but they make the «.r light in weight. ~ SALES AND We ARK {OAD ay % Thus when you call on it to halt, the brakes are not required to “wrestle” with superfluous weight, and the momentum of the car is easily stopped. These are steels made to Maxwell’s own formulae. They equal, pound for pound, the steels in any car built. But no car has steels just like them. In a large measure they con- tribute to Maxwell’s growing prestige, as expressed in figures like these: nearly 400,000 now in use; and 100,000 more for the year 1920.
