The Magneto.
The magneto is moro flcxlblo than
tho battery In caring for the different
speeds and docs not require lis close
attention to obtain satisfactory ire
suits. Tho maximum of power and
r.il'eago (nr tho amount of gasnlno
consumed will he obtained however by
having thi spark correct nt all times.
Cooling and lubrication will he spoken
of together ns It Is linposslblo to cool
nn engine which Is not receiving lubri
cation. f"
A perfect oiling system simplifies
the cooling greatly nnd tho reverse Is'
also true. Tho cooling will depend
upon tho rndlntor which will bo, of
greater capacity In tho Thermo" Syphon
cooling system than Is necessary In
pno using a pump to forco tho circula
tion. An onglne properly lubricated
should bo capablo of nn all day per
formance and ready for the next with
no trouble ns regards tho cooling. A'
high speed of tho engine should not
be maintained while traveling with
tho car In tho lowet gcqrsi
Tho high Roar Is for speed. The man
that bears those facts In mind has
saved himself n lot of trouble and ex-
penso -while his car has an A No. 1
character In tho neighborhood which
ho should have crciHt for as wcll
Rounding corners nt top speed, sud
den stops by locking tho wheels Ith
tho brakes and the slam bang stylo of
Bomo would-bo "nrtltts of tho wheel"
aro not. only dangerous to tho gcnqral
public and doservo criticism but, will
tear tho car nnd tires literally to
pieces. This stylo of would-be driving
Is placing moro cars out of commission
than any othor one thing.
An investment of from one to seven
thousand dollara la Intrusted to an, In
competent lMTson by tho owner when
tho samo amount of actual cneh of oth
er property would bo watched with a
zealous' eye. Tho depreciation would
bo materially reduced If half this, In
terest 'fere displayed In tho. motor car
to say nothing of the saving In repair
bills, and tho Increased service and
satisfaction. Tlio wondor Is that tho
car givesas much service and as little
troublo as It does. Tho entire .car In
detail can become familiar to any one,
of common Intelligence with vcry,li(tlo
study and tha truth of this statement
is attested by the fact thai probably
your boy of perhaps 10 years can talk
"carbureter, valves, throttle, spark,
etc.," while you wpndcr whore he gets
his Information. It's his boyish curios
ity and tho repair man answers Jila
questions. It however requires the
cooler judgment, of moro mature .years
to comprehend tho vnlue of tho .car and
thb boy may be Inclined to "speed her
up a little" and do '.'tho grand stand"
without regard to the rights bt pedes
trians and others. .Getting. back to the
car Itself, however: The steering,
clutch, goar chnnge, and drive shc-ujd
be familiar to the man at the wheel,
not only for emergency In 'case of, re
pairs but that he may know what
changes aro taking place In tho opera
tion of tho machine, Every car' should
be equipped with a first-class speed
ometer. You may not wish to tryjfor
the fifty or sixty miles per hour which
tha car may bo capable, of hut, you
may wish to know how many miles tho
tires rolled, heforo you had a puncture
or a casing rctrontod. Or how many
miles. you covered using that 'tank; of
gasollno which you paid an extra fiya
cqnts per gallon for, or how many
miles 50" havo driven this moijth,
which has cost you so much total, or.
how fdr It Is .from here to thoro where

averaging 71
Equivalent to 16 times around the
world 398,884 miles at a total re
'" 'pair cosf of $5l21! ,
That is the amaaing record reveal-
v cd by the statistics just compiled
- from the experiences of 75 Cadillac
"Thirty" owners in New York City
i acd vicinity.
It is doubtful if the entire history
of travel and transportation steam,
,- electric or jjasoline can show a case
of parallel economy. .
L V There was in this instance no spe
cial striving to attain a minimum.
The 75 owners went their separate
way3 with their Cadillac "Thirtv"
cars, each without reference to the
other. '
They took no special precautions,
but drove where they pleased, whenv
thev pleased, how they pleased;
, without the slightest idea that, their
erperiencc was to be made a matter
of record.
At the close of 1909 statistics were'
collected and comniled from the
signed statements of the 75 users.
It was found that, the 75 cars had
. traveled a total distance of 398,884
miles, or a distance equivalent to
16 trips around the .world.,
. .
,nn Forty-six of the owners had no
" repair cost whatever not a single
Ipenny in Unite of the fact that
some of them had driven their, cars
as much as 18,000' miles.
The Highest ' individual repair
-charge for the entire year was that
of one user,, whose car .cost him
' for special reasons which did not
reflect upon the construction in anv
way 10, the distance it carried
being 9,000 miles.
Eleven of the' others expended
during the year from 25 cents to 50
cents. The average distance travel
ed was 5,318 miles per car, yet. the
average repair, expense was less than
71 cents per car. . ,

5. Cadillac "Thirty" owners in New
cents, per car
users showed further that the aver
age gasoline Consumption for the
touring scan was one gallon for each
15 miles of travel and one quart of
oil for each 175 miles of travel. The
Scmi-Tonneau cars showed an aver
age of 17 miles for each gallon
of gasoline and 200 miles for each
quart of oil. Some users obtained
20 or more; miles for each gallon of
gasoline, but the figures first given
are averages. .
There is no disguising the fact
that this record has proved a revel
ation, even, to automobile manufac
turers themselves, ,
It proves beyond a doubt what,'
the Cadillac Company has always
maintained, , that the elements in
motor car construction which are
absolutely necessary to economy and
immunity from repairs are scientific
design, standardization, accuracy of
.workmanship and correct alignment,
Also that necessity for repairs is the
result' of poor design, inaccuracy off
workmanship, fllfittintr, and incor-.
rectly aligned parts,
A year or more' a"o they proved
before the E'oyal Automobile Club of
London, that three Cadillacs could
be torn down; all the parts thrown
in a pile: a portion of these; parts ,
discarded and new ones substituted,
and the three cars built up again
from the heap of -parts to run with
absolute sweetness and without so
much as an iota of looseness.
For this the Cadillac was award-'
ed the Dewar Trophy, s
'And now1 comes another demon
stration which' simply emphasizes the
fact, that the convictions of the. Ca
dillac i Company as to" the essentials
of a long-lived, serviceable and (eco
nomical car i are correct,
Cadillao measurements are finer
in' a greater proportion of essential
parts, than those f any other car in
the world finer than the costliest
cars made, i. ;
