x SUNDAY, MAY 52, 1924. CLOSED MODEL ‘DEMAND LARGE Majority of Hupmobile Output Are of This Kind, Report Hupmobile closed car production for the first 110 days-of 1924 was 50 per cent of the factories’ entire out- but, including production for Cana- da and foreign countries figures of the Hupp Motor car corporation show. This compares with 28 per cent for all of 1923. Thirty-two per cent of the entire output has been centered on the re- cently announced five-passenger club sedan, with the standard sedan, four- passenger coupe and two-passenger coupe following in that order in point of closed car sales. Bince April 1, 58 per cent of the entire production has been centered on the enclosed models. Canadian closed car shipments have grown from a negligible ratio @ year ago to 28 per cent of the entire Canadian total, with consider- ebly heavier proportion of closed car shipments for countries overseas than ever before. Enclosed cars have constituted 52 per cent of the domestic output since January 1. Hupmobiles are made in eight modeéls—four open and four enclosed types.

Being the further adventures of Mamma, Papa, Willie, Sister Susie and Old Betsy in A WEEK END FISHING TRIP By SPARK PLUG Papa and “Old Betsy” had been as inseparable as ham and cggs during the long Friday evening, for on the morrow did not he plan to take the little family for one of the popular week end searches for the elusive members of the finny tribe? The gas tank filled to the brim and the crank case fairly bubbling with enthusiasm and ofl, and every grease cup oozing with the transparant sub- stance, Papa wends his way slowly to the house to await the return of a sun which only that moment dis appears below a fast darkening horl- zon. The surf arrives on schedule the following morning, and true to form Willie and Sister Susie perform the alarm “clock act and arouse sleepy parents far ahead of the planned moment, Papa and Mamma arise nevertheless, and while the senior member of the family packs the car in preparation for a two day stay, hisygentle wife prepares food enough to last the little family for one day, The destination is in the vicinity of & woodland village and transporta tion of more than one days supply is deemed unnecessary. Wille and Sistér Susie have plans of thelr own, and while one scur- ries busily through every closet in the little home in search of vagrant fishing tackle, the other ts busily de- eiding the important question of which Rag Doll to present the honor of accompanying the family upon the all important trip toward which their hearts had yearned for weeks and still more weeks. Willie appears in the doorway with enough extra paraphanalia and sufficlent fishing tackle to supply a schooner in the Newfoundland cod banks, and is promptly told to deposit the greater part of it in the closet from which he effected its resurection., Such is life with a small boy.

Mamma announces her: self as ready for departure, but forces a complete’ stop while 3 low gear to meke doubly cer the electric iron is. not turned on. With spare tire in place, all tools in the proper position, and curtains in readiness in case of violent wea ther, Old Betsy scuttles off down Oak street as though personally pos- sessed of the spirit of gaiety with which the little party is imbued. A slight argument between little Wil Me and Sister Susie as td which would look better in the front seat alongside of Papa, culminates in the change of Willie to. the rear and Susie to the front. Susie's the young: est “Don't cha know.” One puncture betwen the old home {town and Green Lake, the piscatory destination. Lucky, we'll say. Papa is truly adept at handling a situation of the sort and finds a sullen pupil in Wille in whom the front seat in- cident still rankles. Nevertheless, the spare fs put into service with race track pit speed, and a stop at the next village is made necessary that the injured tube may be re- paired. Casting a few bumps to one side and failing to remark about a lack of crankcase ofl which was lessened in danger by the timely arrival at a way side filling station, the party se movements wo follow so close- amble down to the Lake Front at Little Green Lake, in search of a friendly mud scow or something equaliy serviceable and far more beautiful. Smith's boat house sup- plies the want, and after consider able inevitable squabbling, it is do cided that Willie shall row and Mamma shall troll from the back seat and Papa shall prepare the dowagaie for a likely looking clump of reeds on the other side of the lake, The party 1s of course an as. sured failure as far as really bring: ing home the fish {8 concerned for are there not two chattering females in the outfit?) We will however place our money at any odds on the umes at a cost which would soon reach @ point far ahead of the origi: nal and only cost’ of the “control apparatus. If Casper is to take her place be- side other cities of equal impor- tance, Casper must find some way of solving the enormous traffic problem with which it finds itself struggling each day. This news- paper is offering what it believes to be the best and in fact the only Possible solution. The electric control system as advocated by the Tribune and as used in eyery city of importance in the United States, provides for a large overhead, four way clectric light box, connected by wires to a control box on any one of the four corners. The lighting system , is operated automatic: On each face of the light box, is three sepa- rate spaces. One of them is green in color and when the lights ate turned ‘on the word “Go” is em- blazoned high in the alr in green letters. Another space is red in eoler and contains the word “Stop.” The third space is a sort of amber and contains the words ‘Traffic Change.” Tho purpose of the last named compartment is to give drivers opportunity to shift gears and prepare to go at the flash of the green light. It also serves to give approaching cars a_ timely warning of the potential changing of the tide of traffic, so that they may come to an easy stop and await their turn. The automatic traffic control sys- tem puts the motorist on his honor, and only rarely is a case of dls obedience’ found. An officer can of cov'rs® be ‘cept upon the intersection at certain times during the day to keep an eagle eye on the general situation. The system {is not an experiment. It has been given the test of fire in all eastern and Pacific coast cities end In every cuse has been found to solve to a great extent thé traffic problem in congested dis- tricts. It was the intention of the streets and alleys committee of the city council some fhree months ago, to recommend the installation of two control boxes in the city at the Present time. One was to be located on Second and Center, and the other on Second and Wolcott streets. Tell your city councilman that you belleve that automatic control of traffic would be.a progressive move in Casper. his newspaper knows that Casper people are anxiously awaiting some definite action upon the part of the city solons. setae sat Lied tread H.

Coat of tan pleasant W = erchant uses Conseco * I HAVE used Conoco in my own car most of the time for years—it is so handy to get. But I did not realize what I was missing by not using it all the time until we made a test of several kinds of gasoline in our delivery cars. This test showed that, everything considered, Conoco gasoline is the most satisfactory and the most economical gasoline for pas- senger as well as for business cars. It convinced all of us of another thing—that so-called gravity does not mean very much when applied to gasoline. * Judging by results since we standardized on Conoco, we are not only reducing our gasoline bills, but we will also be able to save considerably on upkeep and we will get more use of our cars because fewer layups for overhauling and repairs will be necessary. Literally speaking, any firm that will make a test like the one we made will, I am sure, prove that Conoco ‘de- livers the goods’ cheaPer.
