Thomlinson Tells of Great Manufacturing Development It Has Brought About. IS BIG TIME SAVER "FOR THE. FARMER." He Has Been Taught Value of Time Economy as has Busi ness Man of City. C. S. Thomlinson, the well-known ttre official, links past and present to gether cleverly in the following: "The motor car has brought many changes, but with the changes has come prosperity. The foundry -that once turned out ornamental hitching posts with a horse's 'head, or- a little iron negro, jockey patiently waiting to hold Dobbin's reins, is manufacturing automobile parts. Where one molder was employed making hitching posts, 100 are now molding cranks and rear axle housings. The pattern maker, who once deslgneu Iron hitching posts Jockeys with arms that would shame l)e Milo, Is now making differentials, transmission gears, or crank shafts. The liveryman, whp sold his old horses and started a. garage Is making more money than he ever dreamed was In the livery business. The blacksmith, who was wise enough to turn his smithy Into an up-to-date repair shop, also has been tsruck by the tidal wave ' of prosperity. 'The hitch rack around the country courthouse Is no longer crowded with wagons and carriages on Saturday- It's lined two deep with automobiles. The farmer, who formerly loaded the family and all the hands Into the wagon on Saturday und Mpent the whole day in town doing a little trad ing, now drives to town in his auto mobile does his shopping and Is back on the Job In two hours. He has learned the value of the conservation of time the same as the busy business man In the big city. . "The automobile ts the blgKest time saver that has .ever been adopted b the American farmer. When some small part of an Implement breaks during the busy season the automo bile ,1s hurried off to town for a new parti and In lem than an' hour the machine Is running again. In the days before the automobile the farmer was fortunate If he could get the new . part from town In a day. The gaso line motor has played Its part In mak ing the automobile the popular me thod of transportation, but without the pneumatic tire the motor car , would be limited to Improved city streets and boulevards. "The fact that the , motor car It IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS A rseord of sixty-five Tears continue eus use of "Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Ryrup" by mothers In all parts of th world, la thu highest praise that any remedy for "children teething" hat ever received.

When the first pneumatic automobile tire was made, 16 years ago, in the factory of the Diamond Rubber Company at Akron, O., the foundation was laid for the automobile. Industry.. That tire made possible the development of the automobile Industry as it is to day. That first tire did something else. It started tlremakers on a scien tific search into the. real facts of tire building. "In the early days of the- tire indus try little was known about building tires by scientific methods. Tires in these days were uncertain things so fai'aJleffgtsWB'feonie''nd. - Since then' tire manufacturers have made cautions but certain improvements from year to year,' until today the au tomobile, tire has reached a state of perfection where 'the motorist has a definite Idea of the mileage he --may reasonably expect from a tire. "The scientific development of the automobile tire has brought about vitalized rubber; and made possible a greater mileage tire. Vitalized rub ber is made by a toughening process which gives the tread wearing power. Two other recent Improvements in the automobile tire are' the perfect three-point rim contact and the no ninch safety flap. The three-point j rim contact prevents the tire slipping on wns rim tuiu mmj i;ictciub v ping off the rim. The no-pinch safety flap protects the inner tube from rlm plnching and rim rust. , , Ran for More Than Three Hun- . dred Hours Is Now on Exhibition.- Philadelphia, June ".

NARROW-BLADE TYPE FAN IS Short While Ago Wide Blades, like a Boy's Windmill; Were Used. Cincinnati, June 28. According to Mr. Welbon, a local Hudson dealer, the present narrow-blade type of fan inuse on many automobiles is a dir ect development from aeroplain en gineering practice. Not so very long ago fans In use on the engines of mot or cars were big-bladed affairs, like a boys' paper windmill. Today fans are made with but four, sometimes three blades and some of the French cars are equipped with fans having but two blades. Designers are using, in the latest fans narrow strong blades. with very coarse pitch. It is found that these small blades draw or drive more air than did the old-style, wide bladed fan. To draw a constant stream of air. through the radiator and drive t over the engine, expelling it at the rear, with its accumulated heat and vapor at the rear of the en gine and under the car, is the fucn tlon of the fan. Sonus engines are so designed as to get rid of surplus heat and vapors very readily. The Hud son designers use a narrow-bladed, coarse-pitched fan, driven at fairly high speed, and this, with the accurate designing of the cooling system avoids overheating to a market de gree. Hudson cars may be operated on tow gear for long periods without fear of overheating that bugbear of I country driven. The excellent design of the "aeroplane fan has must to ao with this successful cooling. "EftSENE"."PJ!0T0R SPIRIT" ISA il Said to Have Unusual Thermal Qualities and Properties ! of Combustion. Experiments by the Abbott Motor company In combining new fuels known as "Qasene" and "Motor Spir it," have resulted in the production of a fuel said to have unusual thermal qualities and properties of combustion. It Ih claimed that the new fuel can be purchased at a retail cost of about t cents a gallon, considerably less than gasoline, which sells at an aver age price of IT cents a gallon. "Motor Bplrlt" Is a Standard Oil product. My a radically different pro cess of refining, I'enry B. Taylor of the fornplanter Refining Company, an Independent corporation, produced "tlanene." This fuel. It is on Id, can be sold for 75 per cent of the regular price of gasoline as tt is now. The Abbot company's tests of the fuel otimpany of the two new prod ucts aho.v It has a therms) value an-nli-r tlisn that of g:iii!lnc. it Is i limned. lis pruritics ul combustion are such that the Ignition of the fuel takes place in a graduated way in stead of in the form of an abrupt ex plosion. This makes it possible to carry a little higher compression in the motor, resulting In a. higher mean effective pressure and a corresponding1 greater delivery of power to the trans mission elements. , HE AT THE AGE OF 80 YEARS Cleveland, O.,' June 28. Not many men of 80 years have the inclination to drive motor-cars, to say nothing of the alertness and active requirements of this modern .pastime, but A. 13. Hambleton, who lives fit Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio, is 84 years old and he drives his new touring car with the utmost ease. In fact Kr. Hambleton Is sJ long-distance tourist of note and he intends to pilot his new car on a tour to New York and Cape God In July. Mr. Hambleton has been driving motor cars for eight years and In that period he has made a number uf journeys that would be notable even if made by a Glldden tourist. A little run to New York and back Is a mere tncldent in his motoring career, while he regards a run to Buffalo with no more concern than the routine of run ning down town. , He takes care of his own car for the amusement of it. When he starts East on July 1 there will be no chauffeur In the car. In his eight years' experience he suffered only one accident, which occurred while cranking and resulted in a broken wrist. Mr. Hambleton has re tired and he finds keen enjoyment in motoring. BROTHERS WEST6ARD. Some Confusion Regarding the Patli- . finding Work of Thene Two Drivers. Indianapolis, June 28. The simul taneous entry of A. U Westgard and W. O. U Westgard, In the Indiana to the Paclflo coast tour, in Premier and Pathfinder cars, respectively, has re suited In some confusion regarding the pathfinding work of the brothers. A. I Westgard originally was to have driven a Pathfinder car as the, field representative of the Americai Automobile association and Unite States government, but owing to th' fact that he has accepted a slmlla position with tha National Highway association and la succeeded In the A. A. service by his brother, W. O. L Westgard, a change In the origins arrangement was made. V. O. 1 Kestgard will complete the A. A. A routing started by hla brother. The field work of the Natlona Highways association and the Ameri can Automobile association Is practl cally Identical, the purpose being t obtain a complete "log" of every Incl of roadway travelled, yet the data gathered will aenr two separate am distinctly different ends. The Premier tour will place In th hands of tha National Highway asso ciation Information to b compile) and used In the draughting of legisla tive measures to be introduced at Washington. The broad scope of the work belm done by tha A. A. A. toward tha pro motion of good roads and furnishing of route data for tourists is wcl. known, the most Important step yel takea In this direction being tha sur vey of three new - transcontlnenta' routes In Kit In a Pathfinder car, thi same that will be used by the A. A. A this summer for similar Investigation! In the Interest of good roads. A. U Westgard In his Premier hat already started on his long jaun' around the American continent ant' will Join the Indiana tourists at In dlanspolls July 1. W. O. U West gard starts his season campaign In thi l'athndr with the tour to the eoaet winding up with, a survry of a new southern route acrom the continent. DRIVERS SHOULD NOT ABUSE THEIR TRUCES By Overloading and Overspeeding1 How Best Results Are Secured. That' one of the chief duties of drivers of motortrucks U to see that their trucks are not subject to the abuses of overloading and overspeed ing was emphasized by speakers be fore the Alco service convention it the Providence factory of the American Locomotive company. The best .results, It was sail, lire secured where the owner as well as the driver takes an Interest In secur ing the maximum mileage on the gal lon of gasoline. Particular reference was made to the possibilities In the way of economy In operation. . ' The sessions were attended by more than fifty, and brought together mem bers of the force from New York, Chi cago, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg, Providence, Richmond, the Pacific coast, Newburgh and Montreal. Among the speakers were C. A. Benjamin, general sales manager; F. P. Nehrbes, factory manager; R. A. Vail, chief engineer, and J. F. Gfrorer, manager of the dealers' service de partment. George H. Diuek, manager of the general service department, was chairman. AnalyHlH of Laxt 500-Mile Race. George M. Dickson, general mana ger of the National company at In dianapolis, has made an analysis of the last 500-mile race and compared it to the other two 600-mile races, with interesting results. It 1b hard to get all the "inside" times, facts and figures until several days after the race, Dickson declares, because all the figures must be checked oevr and over again to avoid any errors and the times must be THIS WOMAN HAD MUCH PAIN VHEN STANDING Tells How Lydia LPInkham's Vegetable Compound marie Her a Well Woman. Chippewa Falls, Wis.-' I have a) ways bad great confidence In Lydia E. Pinkham Vegeta ble Compound as I found it very good for organic trouble and recommend it highly. I had dis placement, back acha and palm when standing on my feet for any length of time, when I began to take the medicine, but I am In fine health now. If I ever have those troubles again I will take Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound." lira. Ed. Ferron, 816 High St., Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Providence, R. L "I cannot speak too highly of Lydia E. Plnkham'a Veg stable Compound as it ha done won ders for me and I would not be without It. 1 had organic displacement and bearing down pains and backache and was thoroughly run down when I took Lydia E.

Then these are turned over to the officials of the American Automobile association for their offi cial recognition. According to the figures available up to date Dickson finds the following facts worthy of attention: In the 1913 race Burman's time at 40 miles was 31:10 and the winning national's In 1912 was 29:45; at 60 miles Burman's time was 46:13 and the National's 44:32, and at 100 miles Burman's time was 1:16:35 and the National's 1:14:24, thus correcting a wrong impression that, while Burman was running at the start of the race this year, he was making better time than the National's record The figures show he was not, and Dickson declares that at no time or distance in the 1913 race was the Na- tolnal'8 record ; In danger, and gives the following carefully worked out table to prlve it. These figures give the National's time for 1912 at various distances In minutes and seconds and the time for the winning Peugeot in 1913 for the same distances, followed by the difference in time, illustrating how far behind the Peugeot car was at all stages behind the National's record: Distance Differ ence. :22 3:40 6:21 6:17 i4:59 4:51 6:00 8:00 8:24 6:08 3:41 8:00 8:14 6:08 8:09 10:46 10:15 , 8:62 9:38 10:21 12:34 11:16 10:56 12:09 13:59 (miles). 20 . . . 40 . , ,. 60 . . . 80 . . . 100 .. . 120 . . . 140 . . . 160 . . . 180 .. . 200 .. . 220 .. . 240 v . . 260 .. . 280 . . . 300 .. , 320 . . , 840 . . . 360 . . -, 380 . . , 400 . . . 420 . . , 440 . . , 460 . . , 480 .. , 600 . . , National. .14:55 29:46 44:32 69:23 74:24 89:15 103:48 -118:21 132:49 150:59 167:17 181:49 196:20 214:19 228:50 243:14 257:49 276:25 289:44 304:14 318:46 836:17 351:39 166:51 381:06 Peugeot. .16:17 ' 33:25 49:63 64:40 79:23 94:06 108:48 126:21 141:12 156:07 170:58 189:49 204:43 219:27 236:59 254:00 268:04 284:17 299:22 314:35 331:20 347:33 362:36 379:00 395:05 Dickson also goes farther In his analysis and gives the graduation of times in order of their superiority for alt three races run, 1911, 1913 and 1913. He gives only the times better than seven hours. He also gives the position In which each car finished, showing that the 1911 race was much faster than that of 1911, and that the 1912 race waa also much faster than that of 1913. It is Interesting to note, says Dickson, that some of the cars in the 1912 race, when the National was winning, made much faster time than In 1911 when a foreign car was making the pace.
