Having firmly established the Mllchrl'

Mr. .Ionian enables Mr. Page to Increase
the allotment over that which was oriel-
rally planned for the territory, but even t
nun a crc.ner iiumucr or cars .Mr. rage
Is platinlin; chiefly for the following sea
son, nhen with the organization that
he has built up lie will be able to handle
s considerably greater number of Jor
dan cars.
Mr. Page certainly deserves the title
of "a veteran In the automobile busi
ness," as he has been associated with It
from the earliest time and has had the
xperlence of handling many different
Kinds and types of automobiles. It Is
a striking association that of a true
veteran of the automobile Industry with
one of the newest curs In It. Mr. Page,
however, says that the Jordan car la
a car that Is sired by the oldest and
ost experienced engineers and man-ufarturt-ih
In the whole automobile In
dustry, nnd while It Is true that It Is a
car only recently born. It Is equally true
that because of Its component parts It Is
me of the oldest cars In the industry.
Mr. Page Is enthusiastic, about the
future of the Jordnn car and It seems
to those "In the know" In the trade
that a combination of Pago and Jor
dan certainly ought to spell success for
the car In this territory.

Stroi't Ai't'iilcnts.
"If each of the elements of tiafflc
could be kept In Its proper place at the
right time the big problem of regula
tion would be rolved," Is the opinion of
President II. M. Itowe ef the American
Automobile Association, whose recent ut
terances at the Safety First Convention
created considerable comment through
out the country because the doctrine
was put forward that the pedestrian
must also bo regulated as well as the
vehicle In bringing about Improved traf
fic movement.
"The sidewalks are for pedestrians and
the streets primarily for vehicles," con
tinues the head of the organized motor
car owners, "The pedestrian should be
and Is safeguarded In his use of the side
walka nnd designated crossings, where
he should at nil times have the right
of way. When he attempts to use the
. , . . , , .
streets at points other tha t at ") .
ho should do so at his own peril.
Furthermoie, when he occupies the
street at nny other than at designated
crossings It should be prima facia evi
dence of gross carelessness on his part
and he should be made to assume the
responsibility for his conduct. On the
other hand, drivers of vehicles should
have precedence between cumslngs. They
shnuld have a right to expect that they
will only have to look out for other
vehicles.
"After all, there are Just these two Im
portant elements In trnfflc vehicles and
pedestrians and both contribute to acci
dents. 1'ndlHiiuted records, however.

.these facts" Vehicles particularly
motor vehicles are now so regulated
by law that any further attempt In that
direction would not help matters. Per
sonally I am convinced that we have so
much law for the motorist that to make
bint as safe as he can be made as an
element of street trafflc we must get rid
of much of our present law and simplify
thnt which remains.
"On the other hand the pedestrian, as
the other Important element In traffic,
we have not regulated at all. As a rule
he is not willing to contribute his share
to eliminating the causes of accidents.
He In tenacloux of his right to conduct
himself as he pleases on streets or

Maud where he pleases, to go In any

straiiKe to say, he Is
supported In his view by public opinion
and the old common law, which recog
nizes the Huperlor rlnhts of the individ
ual nn the public hlghwayx, is quoted In
his defence. Courts nnd Juries have up
held him and awarded him heavy dam
ages even when he was guilty of gross
negligence. Ills attitude Is 'lilt me if

of motorists do everything In their power
to avoid accidents, the great majority
of pedestrians do not.

In thla heyday of motor prosperity I
take this opportunity to sound a warn
ing note. That note .calla every motor
manufacturer, every dealer and owner,
and other equally Interested In the

fulnes of the virgin !! of our country
will before many years bring nbout the
Impoverishment of the land. That ex
actly Illustrate the condition or the
Brent American motor Industry.
This Industry has grown beyond all
precedent : the tale of Its progress Is
like a page from "The Arabian Nights" ;
It has attracted to It scores of small
investors who subsequently have been
able to turn out cars on order u't
night; It has found ready sale for nil
of Its products, good, had or Indifferent.
Hut the harvest cannot last forever. The
mpply will catch- up with and exceed
the demand. The overblown bubble Is
liable to burst und possible calamity will
follow. All this Is possible If conditions
ar permitted to continue as thv now
exist.
Happily there Is a means of salvation
If nil motor Interests would pause long
enough In their tank of gathering riches
to seize upon It. They ennnut give back
to the soil that which they have taken
Irom It, but they can make that soil
more steadily yielding by fertilization.
As Mr. Hill advised the great farming
community of this country to encourage
the soli In the continuance of Its pro
duction, so we do humbly beseech the
great American motor Industry to en
courage and stimulate that soil from
which springs the source of Us pros
perlty. Thnt needed fertilization will come
mot surely, most swiftly, from the en
couragement of touring In motor cars;
from the stimulation of the grandest
form of outdoor recreation so far known
of man, It Is our duty to blaze the
way for motor travel across this broad
land Just as it Is the duty of every
farmer to put back Into tho soli some of
the life he has abstracted from It.
In blazing the way, those molt Inter

the supply tank and around the circuit.
The oiling system is extremely simple
and economical. It consists simply In
adding a small quantity of standord
cylinder oil to the water. This oil
rapidly goes Into emulsion with the
water on account of the violent agitation
and contact. Tlie water and oil Is
stirred up together In the tank Ivy tho
flow of hot water from the pipe leading
from tho radiator ami also by the un
evenness of tho road. The oil flows with
the water through the circuit.
Once In the generator the oil coats
ex-ery portion with a thin layer of oil.
This coating la muoh thicker than would
be the case If the generator were not at
the temperature of 415 degrees Fahren
heit. The coating of oil prevents pieces
of scale from sticking to the walls or
together and also guards against rust.
The bubbles of steam breaking
through the top of the water carry with
them to the throttle valve and tho
valves and pistons of the engine suf
ficient oil to properly lubricate these
parts. The oil cannot of course be
contaminated In any way, as It does not
come In contact with gasolene, carbon
or road dust.
In the winter alcohol may also be
added to the water, thus preventing
fretting, as In the cooling system of a

LOCOMOBILE HAS
UNUSUAL EXHIBIT
Will Show Fourteen Examples
of Smart Uodles n't
As tor Salon.
The large exhibition of the lx-oino-bile
Company at the Altor Halon will be
Interesting because of the variety of the
new coachwork styles. Fourteen ex
amples of smart bodies will be shown,
mounted on the excellent locomobile
I'hassts, the latest edition of which was
specially designed nnd adapted to re
ceive u line custom made body.
Nearly a year ago this exhibition was
Jtanned, nnd the designs were prepared
by .1. V. de Causse, mananer of the cus
tom studios, and executed by the leading
builders of Carrosserle. The result Is a
teally noteworthy collection of fine ve
hicles'. There are sporting and roadster
types, convertible bodies, limousines,
sedans, Inndaulfts, coupes, smart dls
oblfceunt fur shopping and luxurious
conches either for town or touring be-
ween urban and country estates. The
exhibition will be preserved Intact until
spun, none of the cars being available
fur purchase until them. It la under
stood that the prices of Locomobile
cars will extend from about 5,000 to
IV.00O.
One of the features of the Locomobile
exhibit Is the extent to which a new
treatment called aatln finish haa been
carried. Cars at present have either a
glittering or a dull surface. Satin finish
Is something In between the two and
very rich. There also mema to be a de
tided trend toward a low effect In the
suspension of the body, aa all of the
Locomobiiea are rather conspicuously
low butlt. The running board level Is
much below the wheel centres. Kntrnltce
to the body Is ery easily accomplished.
and, what Is equally Important, the low
appearance of the car Is very effective.
Imw cars are evidently going to be the
thing.
The Locomobile Company nresents
two admirable examples of the "type
sportlf.l' One Is a canoe rondater, a
style originated In Pnrls by Henri La
bourdette and which perhaps has never
been adequately expressed before In
America, owing to extreme treatment.
The appearance of thla model Is In good
taste. The motif Is Indicated by tho
lines at the back similar to those of a
canoe. There la also a marine sugges
tion In the side lights, which are In the
form of little allver funnels. The light
nulbs are concealed and the light Is In
direct. Also the deck Is polished ma
hogany and the lines are defined by n
light silver beading. The agreeable fea
tures of the gunboat roadster created by
the Locomobile custom department for
last year's salon have been retained. The
appearance of this model Is decidedly
striking, but It la not In any way freak
ish. It Is painted "Jaune creme," there
lelng a very agreeable harmony be
tween the color of the body and the deep
azure of the satin finish leather upholster'-
The other sporting design Is a
four pasaenger model, an arrangement
In black and white and gray, the bal
ance of color giving It a lot of style. It
la decorated In a new style of atrlplng, a
one-quarter Inch white stripe edged with

Instead. Theae do not mar the appear

cars show tho elegance and srood taste
of severe plainness. The coupe la up
holstered in sn Imported falirlo the
shade of "grls perle," without any
tufting or lace, and decorated with fine
lines of liand stitching only.
Apparently there in no telephone in
