In the first place. it sends the book free to any applicant who sends the postage. The book seeks to give all essential base ball records in the least possible space. If it succeeds in the former it certainly triumphs in the latter. The little volume fairly bristies with points of information and is striking for its suc- cinctness.

NEW YORK, April 3—There creasing tendency foward home rule in automobile events among clibs in both the east and west and on the part of in- dividual yromoters. While it is admitted that a strong national organization, con- trolling and advancing motor car inter- eats, 1s most desirable, yet individuals and Associations who invest their time and mond in making certain tours, races, hill climbs or other évents feel that they férm to local conditions and should not bhe hAmpered by too much Huthority. This tendency shown by the Florida East Coast Automobile assocfation, under whose patronage the races were recently held on the béach at Daytona The Harrishurg club also resolved to carry out its endurance run upder its own which fitted exactly local conditions, rather than under those which were im- posed upon them at the American Ath- letic association. The latest insurgent is the Ohicago Automobile club. which has decided to run ith road race as a western aftair instead of a national one. The mem- bers of (his club believe that the west with ita present extraordinary demand for motor cars has become a very prominent influénce, and is in m position to be in- dependent 4nd demand justice. They be- lieve that a western stock car race will Attraét fully as much attention and as many entries, as such, as if the race were announced A8 a national évent. For #uch a rdce & trophy has been do- Anted by Ira M.

With 2.33 cubic incnvs of tire for every pound of car weight, the Model “T" has the largest tires of any car manufactured. WEIGHT 18 NOT A COMPARATIVE TERM indicative of strength except when the articles compared are of identical materials. Oak is stronger than pine, Vanadium steel is tougher than nickel steel and the 1,200 pound Vanadium Steel Ford Car is actually superior to its 3,000 pound rival entirely because of the superiority of the materials used LIGHTWEIGHT ISN'T GUESS WORK it's the result of brains Every pound of weight that Henry Ford has subtracted from hitherto accepted weight standards has been the result of vears of study and research. Not that he has a monopoly on brains, simply that the other fellows have nol been dirvested towards weight reduction, : LIGHTWEIGHT 18 NOT A COST REDUCER. Cars are not sold at so much per pound. Light weight s money—the lighter, the more expensive to design and build. Commodore Vanderbilt once offered wagon maker $1,000,000 for each pound he could reduce the weight without affecting the quality of a #pring wagon It took brains and Vanderbilt always paid a high price for brain products. He pald $16, 000 for the buggy, and it started him on a plan for weight reduction in locomotives. THE BUYING PUBLIC GETS THE BENEFIT. Every pound off the weight of the car cuts down the gasoline bill, cuts down the tire bill, cuts down the repaih bill. That's why the Ford will travel more miles for less money than any other touring car ever built, 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline, 10,000 miles and more on a set of tires—and the renewals then at a less price—less monthly maintenance. In no other car can you match this. THE ARGUMENT 18 ADVANCED that the light weight lsn't heavy enough to stand nv. That's petition groping after a life preserver.
