Ey C. E. Bridges. A few years ago all kinds of cun traptions were sold to automobile owners. But the day is rapidly ap- art eight-cylinder car with the "fa- mous" Knight engine in it. We tele- phoned the representative of this car on Michigan avenue and all he would pay for it was $500, although it rep- resented $2,045 six months ago and it has been run about 4,000 miles. During that time he has worn out $225 worth of castings. A Franklin touring car that has been run practically the same dis- tance and cost practically the same money when new, we sold this week for $2,000. It is a safe bet that the tires on this Franklin car will last 15,000 miles. The car gets 21 miles on a gallon of gasoline.

All are equipped with Blackmore door cur- tain openers. There are no clasps to unfasten, no flapping curtains to creep beneath. The curtains swing open with the doors, and close tightly. A tonneau light, with a convenient switch, illuminates the rear compart- ment whenever desired. It floods the tonneau with a mellow light, guiding passengers as they enter or alight, and adds greatly to the pleasure of night driving. The harmonious beauty of the in- terior is augmented through search- ing attention to detail. The French pleated style of upholstery contrib- utes both to comfort and to appear- ance. Genuine leather is used through- out. The door pockets, are carefully lined to protect one's gloves and other articles. The tonneau cowl panels of the seven-passenger cars, both the "Sixes" and "Twelves," are artistical- ly finished in a beautifully grained American walnut. The effect is that of a fine piece of furniture, a com- bination of richness and elegance. Into these panels fold the auxiliary seats when not in use. Doors close above them, and they are completely hidden. Likewise a small door opens into a convenient parcel compart- ment between the auxiliary seat storages. The harmony of color in the in- terior embraces even the carpets and top linings, which match. Both are a durable dust-proof gray. The rear curtains of all open mod- els are fitted with Johnston plate glass automobile .windows. Per- manency as well as beauty commends these. The heavy beveled plate glass, fashioned in three circles, is carried j in attractive nickeled frames. The new wheel-form front fenders add a touch of dignity to all models. They conform to the wheel shapes and permit of long running boards, accentuating the modish straight lines of the new Haynes cars. American motor Tacing fans will have many thrills this year, both on speedways and dirt tracks, if the plans of certain promoters work out as expected in automobile circles. As the result of a meeting of the International Motor Contest Asso- ciation an announcement was issued that Rene Thomas, Albert Guyot. Ar- thur Duray and Jean Chassagne, who have not raced in America for sev- eral seasons, will come to the United States for a series of speedway en- Tasrements. According to W. H. WeNman the four foreign stars have been signed by him and will posi- tively appear this season. Tt was announced at the recent meeting that the lid of the racing season will be blown off on Memorial Day.-when the first event is scheduled for the New York speedway at Sheeps'head Bay. A race was also announced For the Providence (R. I.) speedway on July 4, while dates on other speedways have been assured. CAVALRY REGIMENT WILL BE FORMED AT FORT SHERIDAN MOTOR SNOW PLOW WILL BE USED FOR EVANSTON One of the new cavalry regiments which the War Department has de- cided to send to France to be ready to ride after the fleeing Germans when their lines are finally broken will be organized and drilled at Fort Sheridan. This was revealed last Saturday, when orders were sent to Colonel E. A. Hickman, now in charge of the third officers' training camp at-Camp Grant to proceed to Fort Sheridan, there to organize and take command A traction snow plow was put into use for the first time in Evanston streets Saturday afternoon. The plow is an attachment for the street de- partment's Kelly-Springfield truck. This attachment arrived from the manufacturers Saturday. It is fas- tened to an arm extending from the front of the truck and is operated by levers convenient to the driver. The snow of Saturday was not deep enough to give it a good test. It is expected to take the place of ihe grader and scraper which the city has heen using. PLAN MOTOR TRUCK LINE, MILWAUKEE TO CHICAGO The transportation committee of the Milwaukee Association of Com- of the Three Hundred and Twelfth merce is making an investigation into the feasibility of motor truck service between Milwaukee and Chicago with a view of furnishing relief to con- United States Cavalry.

Chevrolet Man Lauds Valve-in-Head Motor Carbon is the motor's greatest .'iitmy, according to \V. X. Schneider, president of the Hubbard Woods .Motor Car Company. "With the present grade of gaso- ine and its varying quality it is im- possible to obtain perfect combus- tion of fuel, and rlight amounts of carbon are set free in the engine cylinders," said Mr. Schneider. "Most of this carbon passes out through the exhaust valves, but some line particles of it adhere to the walls of the combustion chamber, particularly if oil is present in excess quantity. Once the carbon has gained a foot- hold it rapidly accumulates, until soon it has spread throughout the entire combustion chamber, impeding the flow of gases, sooting the spark plugs, and preventing perfect sealing of the valves. When this condition obtains, the motor has low compression, misses fire and shows loss of power. "In the valve-in-head motor there is less chance for carbon to form than in any other type, because of the small size of the combustion chamber presenting less wall area than other types on which carbon can settle, and because of the speed with which it scavenges the burnt gases. Even the valve-in-head motor is lia- ble, however, after a time to carbon trouble, and, for this reason, the Chevrolet motor has been so built that it can be cleaned of carbon with minimum trouble and loss of time. "To clean carbon or to grind valves in the Chevrolet, the method of pro- cedure is to unfasten the spark plug connections, and unscrew eight bolts holding the detachable cylinder head to its base. When this is done the cylinder head is lifted off and trans- ported to a work bench, where the operation of valve grinding is per- formed."

"An automobile shortage in the spring is inevitable," says one dealer. "The eastern dealers have prac- tically no cars on hand," says he. "This despite the fact that many of them started the winter with large stocks. In many cases dealers have given up their demonstrating cars to satisfy insistent purchasers. "The principal reason for this con- dition has been the freight car short- age, aided by embargoes. The con- sequent depleted stocks must be re- plenished when spring conies. Al- ready dealers are taking many orders for spring delivery. "The shoftage will come, not be- cause the manufacturers will it, but because they are powerless to pre- vent it. The coal sjfuation, the labor problem, the freight congestion and many other obstacles have arisen to reduce the winter outputs of auto- mobile manufacturers. Xo surpluses have been accumulated ; the makers have scarcely been ahle to keep pace with the demand. "Under existing conditions the manufacturers cannot hope to attain anything like their large production schedules of the past. Once the momentum' is lost it cannot'be re- gained for months. Especially is this true now. when the automobile huild- ;ng business is suffering from a.crit- ical shortage of workmen, occasioned by the call of thousands of trained ■"cch;,"vs and operatives to the colors." Definition of Repairing. Judge Duncan of the Supreme Court of Illinois, in a case recently before him. gave the following defi- nition of the word "repairing." "Repairing means restoring to a good sound state after decay, injury, j dilapidation or partial destruction. 'Doping a belt' to increase its friction -nd prevent its slipping is not re- pairing, within the meaning of a statute, providing that no repairs shall be made to the T^tive mechan- jism or operative part of any machine jwhen the machine is in motion."

EVANSTON .—•* F/CHEVROhET/J New Series MODEL D., 8 Cylinder, $1385.00 Increasing popularity of Chevrolet Cars all over the U. S. is a conclusive proof that they arc meeting the demand of the public. A complete survey of the market was made by us, before a decision was reached as to the particular type' of car best suited in these days of econ- omy. We spent months of time in comparing cars for road performance and chose the Chevrolet for being "lightest on its feet." The Chevrolet Motor Co. also has a wide field of cars, both as to size and price. Their fine attention given to details, demonstrates that the Company is building not only for the present, but tor the future. Since upon the power depends most of the usefulness and enjoyment of one's entire car. the Chevrolet uses the Yalve-in-bead motor in all models. When you have tried many cars by the test of com- parison, we ask of you to call on us for a demonstration of the Chevrolet and then you too will have the pleasure .•t lealizing as we did. that the Chevrolet is your choice.
