It seems Zeller was as- sured that enough good iron men would be raised by popular subsecrip- tion to buy Wahconah which the owner offered to sell for $4,000 and may take less. Theaters gave benefits and everybody began to chip in to the popular fnd, but the dona- tions were so small that the fund did not grow rapidly as expected. The campaign has been under way several weeks and to date only about $1,350 has been raised. Now Zeller threatens to move to some other city if the remainder of % the $4,000 does mot appear by March 1.

New York, Feb. 26.—Yale's swim- ming team easily defeated Columbia in the Carnegie -pool tonight, 42 to 11, thus clinching the eastern imtercolle- slate championship. In addition the Blue swimmers made a new record in the 600 foot relay race, clipping 3-6 of a eecond from the old mark. The time was 1 minute, 45 1-5 seconds, and the old record was 1 minute, 46 seconds, made by Yale in the recent Princeton meet. The Hil players easily won the water polo game, 30 to 0. Cubs Defeat Havana Athletis. Tampa, Fla., Feb. 236.—The Chicago Nationals, in training h played their first exhibition game sea- son today, defeating _the Havana (Cuba) Athietics, 4 to 2. Of the for- mer Chicago regulars, only Ruelbach and Evers played. Ruelbach pitched three innings, but retired after A. Cos- ta got a three base hit. Greek Champion Dead. Athens, Feb. 26.—The Greek cham- pion, Y. Tsiclitiras, who won the standing broad jump at the 1912 Olym- pic games at Stockholm, died today. Tsiclititas had several jumping rec- | ords to his credit. At the Olympic games he defeated Platt Adams and Benjamin W. Adams of the New York standing high jump, being in turn de- feated by the Adams brothers. Lamberts In First Place. Toledo, O., Feb. 26.—The Wooster Lamberts of St. Louis today rolled into first place in the flve-man events with a total of 2,768, in the A. B. C. tourna- ment.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD Motor Car Show Opens’ at New HnWFifw Injuries Every Day Due to Reckless Driving— Movement Towards Lighter Cars—A. A. A. Working For “Good Roads Everywhere.” —— Reocent years have witnessed the en- try of a number of carriage makers into the automebile industry. Yet not | one man in Afty perhaps realizes how much the motor car ewes to the vehi- cle that is new regarded as its humble predecessor. The trend from the car- riage business to that of the autome- bile is interpreted as a turning from the old and obsolete to the new and popular. - This probably is true. But it is also true that the comfort which i8 a prominent feature of the good mo- tor car.of today had its origin in the comfort that characterimes the well- built carriage. Nearly everybody re- members the tonneau bodies of the earlier automobiles, especially those who were forced by circumstances to occupy the rear seats. These were, in fact, mere shelyes set across the rear corners of the body, with the entrance door between. Comfort in these seats was hardly possible. Sitting on them was more like torture, with the short. Wheelbases, which were the rule, and the stiff, hard riding sprinss. It was not until 1904 that a carriage builder entered the automobile game and bulit a touring car with side doors and a real rear seat. Notwithstanding the “night hawk” taxi, it may almost be said that the sun never sets on the taxieab, so ubiquitous has that convenieat auxiliary to civil- ized life become. Two of the latest laces to have taxicab serwices estab- hed are Batevia and Sourabaya in Java.. The roads in Java are very good, and it is not surprising that motoring there is on the increase, as the planters and heads of business houses realize the advantages they ob- tain from the use of motor cars. Sev- eral public services are in operation, notably between Cheribon and Indram- ue;, as well as between Asaham and Del Carbon trouble is one of the recur- ring annoyances of automobile motors which never has been entirely re- moved. The heat of combustion is so high that even the best of oils leave some deposit This may be so small that it is not noticeable after an en- tire season’s use, but, on the other hand, it. might be so great that the motor refuses to function as it should. When going over the car during the winter it would be best to thoroughly clean the cylinders of all traces of carbon. The incresse in the number of six- oylinder cars and the increased use of electricity for starting and light- ing are the most notable features of automobile development in 1912. The six car has gradually risen in regular steps from 11.4 per cent. in 1911 to 16.4 last year, and then with one broad leap to 35.4 this season. While this progress upward ‘has been on hand, the percentage of four-cylinder models has gradually dropped in these three Seasons, as the following figures show: 8.8 per cent. 80 per cent., 63 per cent. The horse power of the six-cylinder model in America averages higher than that for Europe, as might be ex- pected, but there is a gradual reduc- tion taking place from year to year, &0 that soen tl American six-cylinder will be ag low in horse power as the foreign type, or nearly so. The poorer American roads end the heavier bodies call for additional horse power, but with road improvements, increased motor efficlency and eliminating need- less body weight, there is no reason Why the next few years will not wit- ness gradual steps downward in power. Last yoar the average horse power of the listed six-cylinder el was 45.77; this year it was 41.24, a reduc- tion of 11 per cent. There are 768 con- cerns lisling six-eylinder models, these companies having in all 120 different chaesis models, Of this number there are 30 building nothing but sixes, some of them bullding one model, some two, and others three, four and five. Fifty to seventy-five persons are being killed in the United States every Weels, and forty to ffty are being in- jured every twenty-four hours by au- tomobile mishaps, largely due to reck- less driving, according to reports being complled by Chief of Police Dunn of Omaha for the use of the national as- sociation of police chiefs in the fight of that organization to prevent mator car_accidents. Chief Dunn has just made public the report of automobile accidents for the five weels ending Jan. 33, and the sta- tistics show that in that perfod 208 persons met death in these mishaps, While 1,380 were injured. The number of accidents was 1275. In this report are included only au- tomobile accidents which occurred in those cities and towns which maintain police _ organizations. According to Chief Dunn there are almost as many accidents in the country and in vil. Jages as there are in the cities and towns. The mational association of police chiefs 1s preparing a nation-wide cra. sade reckless antomobiling an: to chl.fldgnn has been delegated tha gathering of statistics. At the co annual conventlon of the chiefs a set of laws will be prepared from the com- bined experfence of all members of the Hampshire was the only state in which there was neither death nor accident. New York headed the list with 252 accidents, in which 62 met death and 383 were injured. Pennsylvania’s 120 accidents were responsible for 17 deaths and 119 injuries, and came sec- ond on the list. New Jersey, with only 93 accidents to her credit, killed 19. In Tilinois there were 50 accidents, which resulted in 12 deaths and 84 Injuries. Fashionable Providence was exceeded only by New York and San Francisco in the num- ber of its aceldents, Chicago, Philadel- phia, Boston and other much larger citics being left far behind. Rhode Island, small as it is, had 40 accidents, killed five persons and in- Jured 43, while Texas reported only five accldents, no ratalities and only four injuries. “Weight is-not essential to strength in automobile construction,” says A. H. Holmes, chief engineer for the H. I. Franklin Manufacturing company. “All good automobile engineering practice tends more and more towards a reduc- tion in weight rather than adding to it. This is probably more noticeabln in automobile construction than in any other familiar forms of mechanical design. “The development of the problem of weight in an automoblle 1a Isrgers similar to that in the bieycle. = The early bicycles were big, heavy and cumbersome affairs that did not last long and that were hard to run. The same way with the early development of the automobile. Everything about the construction was heavy. The mo- tor was heavy, and this necessitated heavy supporis, these supports meant a heavy frame, and a heavy frame meant heavy springs, and so on all through the car, each piece of heavy construction made additional weight necessary in some other part, and nothing was galned in strength; weight was simply added to carry weight. “It 18 easy to see how weight in one part adds to weight throughout the Whole car. Take a big, high powered, heavy motor—this requires = heavy transmission; a heavy transmission re- | quires a heavy drive shaft, a heavy drive shaft makes a heavy rear axle necessary and the weight of the drive system.makes it necessary to stiffen construction throughout the chassis and to add weight to carry weight. “The lighter the motor, the ariv system and the running gear, th Lighter the consiruction necessary to carry them. And in any motor car light weight means greater abtilty and lower cost of operation. “The highly developed methods of treatment v+ materials which are in use today makes it possible to secure very great strength from comparative- Iy very light weight, so that light Wwelght with strength, which means eater abflity and greater economy, largely a matter of design. _“When an automobile is belng driv- en_over rough roads every bit of weight iz constantly pounding on some part of the car. In a light weight car this pounding effect is taken up in the springs and it is so divided and dis- tributed that it is fn no way de- structive to the oar. “The automobile is not a stationary piece of machinery, subject to wear and strain from only ocertain known directions, but it is a plece of machin- ory that is comstantly meeting stresses and strains from all directions. The greater its power to absorb vibration and shock, the greater iis strength for the work it has to do.” In a blaze of glory that rivalled an operatic night, the New Haven annual automobile show opened Saturday evening at the Second Regiment arm- ory on Meadow street. All indica- tions at the present time point to the most successful time that the city has éver witnessed. There is more than 2,000 square feet of floor space, and every inch of this, with the ex- ception of the necessary area for the aisles, is taken up in splendid ex- hibits of the latest modeis of the mo- tor car industry. The -hall has never before been so beautifully decorated. Garlands of frosted lights are strung from the center to all points of the hall and are set off with the low-hanging Turkish ceiling of green and white. More than 13 miles of this draping hao been used to entirely cover the interior of the building. Hvery inch of this bunting has been fireproofed to insure againet fire. .The booths are carpeted in green rugs and are connected with white latticed work. Bach of the pillars standing before the Dbooths are surmounted by large glazed electric bulbs, The show will continue every afternoon and evening to March 2 inclustve. There are none of us so old that we do not remember our first important purchase. Whether it was a pocket- knife or a suit of clothes, if our own money paid for it We zan il recall the pleasurable anticipation, the almost flerce joy with which we awaited the approach of the momentous occasion. And even the disappointments and an- noying after experiences, if that first purchase was not up to our expecta- tions, fail to dim the delight in the sense of power and realized amblition which came when we laid down our money walked away with our first ‘are epen for your inspection.” tion. & Every advertisement you read every value is elatien in the purchase of our automo- bile. There is one marked difference in the buying of a first automobile to- day and the same step a few years ago, however. It is that in the present time there is more of an unalloyed pleagure in the occasicn than there was before. The natural development of the industry has robbed the first pur- chase of much of that sweetly painful after-effect the ploneers were likely to know; today we have the benefit of the experiences of hundreds of thousands of our fellows in their first “buys,” and, too, the honest and conscientious- ness of the manufacturer take much of the danger of disappointment out of the operation. The first buyer of today can more readily take the word of the malker and his representatives as to the merits of the car. Dishonesty is no more tolerat- ed in the marketing of motor cars to- day than in any other line. The em- bryo motor enthusiast nowadays must be practical, of course, as befits a| grown-up boy: he must be cute, cun- ning, alert, awalke to all the tricks of | the trade; careful with his ways and means and keenly alive to all the| blandishments of the unduly optimistic | salesman. It is being all these things | that adds to the zest of the undertak- | ing. But he need not be nearly so alert | and on his guard as at some times in | the past. His predecessors in the game | have paved the way for him, and man- | ufacturers and salesmen do Dot now regard him as legitimate prey, to be sold a car at all hazards and regardless | of what he desires. | | | Ralph DePalma, the intrepid young Italian-American, who cams so near winning the second annual 506 mile in- | ternational sweepstakes race, at the | Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year, | but whose engine went bad on the final lap, will again try his luck in the | third annual five century contest, | which is scheduled for May 30. De- | Palma recently visited Indianapolis to | make arrangements for garage space at the Motor Speedway and to contract for hotel accommodations for himself and his racing crew. DePalma _will head a three car team, the other driv- | ers being Caleb Brags and _Spencer | Wishart. These men will drive Mer- cer cars in the big race. | It ‘will be remembered that a few weeks ago a story emanating from | Texas was sent abroad to the effect that DePalma had lost his nerve and | had retired from the racing game for- ever. When traced to its source, it was learned that this gossip had been circulated by an unknown man who | represented himself as being DePalma. The Italian griver at this time was not | even in Texas, but in New York, and | instead of thinking of retiring he was | making active preparations to enter | the Indianapolis race. The story of his alleged retirement was a sad blow to racing enthusiasts, for -DePalma stands high in the regard of sportsmen and is perhaps the most popular race driver in the United States today. He has won thousands of friends both in and out of the recing game, and now | that 1t s definitely known that he will | participate in the coming 500 mile race | at Indlanapolis there is general rejote- ing in automobile circles. ! “@ood roads everywhers is what the | automobilists are striving for and their organized efforts encompasssthe im- | provement of the county and township lonest Manufacturers Welcome " Your Investigation When you read the advertissments about ssme well-known pro- duct you often find that it contains the anmeuncement, “eur facterics The manufacturers whe make such statements are absciutely suve of the quality of their geods and the cenditions under which they sre made..

It is our bellef thet the betterment of these roads properly de- volves upon the township, with well defined co-aperation from through a highways department which also has to do Wik he coumtry roads, in confunction with the county am- thorities. “But in seeking the perticipation of the federal government in roads prog- Tess we cannot bring ourselves to’ be- lieve that national aid means a dona~ tion of national funds for local purw Pposes. “To ask the national gt ent to do that which properly devolves upon the local community is basically wrong and untenable. Our government is composed of state units; the source to which the community should appeal is the state, which in twrn shovld go to the federal fountain head for co-opera- tion along lines which are inter-state and otherwise sufficlently general to justify the employment of national funds. But to call upon the national government to dea] with local units direct, and ignoring the state govern- ment, is procedure contrary te consti- tutional rights and common sense.” In his address at the Amerioan road congress at Alantic City N. J. Hul, the lecturer of the National Grange, in closing gave utterance to this senti- ment: *T call upon the American Auto- ! mobile association, with the men wha :rs striving, to bulld treanscontinental highways, improved highways if o please, (okaepinm!nd'blhm’;‘;w studying this question and your efforts to build those great ways connecting the citles of the country, that you will not forget the neceasity to you and to me, the necessity to this great nation of ours, the great ecomom- 0 need of improving the commen coun- try highways, from the homs of the man at the other end of the bad road to the city, that you may be better off, and that the farm people of the United States may be better oft.” Indicating clearly the progresstve thought which the national grange of- fcers are ginving to the question of highways is the following from the annudl report of State Grange Master J. Arthur Sherwood of Connectiomt “The grange is, and should be the champion of goog roads. The increas- ing number of motor vehicles upon our highways present a problem dif- fleult of solution. The legitimate de- mend of automobile must de met. Stretches of road here and thers are pleasing, but the continuous mile- | age is what the farmer as well as the motorist desires.
