He was born on a farm near DeKalb, 111., In 1864. In IS7I he was bound out to Robert Lapworth with the under standing that lie was to receive a suit pf clothes and three months’ education until he was 21 years old. After one year lie ran away to learn the carpen ter trade under John Shelben, a Mount Morris (Mich.) mechanic. He received seven, eight and nine dollars a month for his services for three months, when he began work on a farm for $8 a month and his board, going to school in winter. Hr worked on several farms until 1881, when he entered the hay pressing business. He was married in 1881 and later took u position as a clerk in a grocery store, in 1890 he went to work for the Flint Road Cart Company, mm the Durunt-Dort Caviiig.- Com pany. so; $1 a day.

MORGAN & WRIGHT TO DOUBLE CAPACITY OF DETROIT TIRE PLANT The greatest daily output ever con sidered possible in tire manufacture is provided for in next year’s plans of the I tilt ’d States Tir- Company, which have Just been made public. This con cern. which o’perates four great plants, plans an expenditure- of over |3.00l).o0u in factory improvements and exten sions. First if all, the Morgan w- Wright plant, which is located in Detroit, is to be doubled in both area and production. Ground ha- been broken tor several new buildings, and work will be rushed forward as rapidly us possibh -. It is planned to erect sixteen new’ factory buildings, ranging in size from 2,000 square feet to 131.000 square feet. Xmong these will be a finely appointed laboratory, where the scientific experi mental work incidental to the manufac ture of automobile tire;: can be chi t ied on. When all -if this work is finished, the Morgan & Wright plant will have a floor «i<ic> of mor. than 1.000,000 square feet, twin its siz- nt tin pres ent time.

Witli Hie exception of a full coat of mud and dirt, the ear was in the suim condition as when it left, despite Hie fact that il was given tile roughest sort of treatment possible on the worst roads to be found in the South. Harry Cohen, who accompanied George Meinxinger, of the factory ex perimental department, speaking of the trip, said: ’’line of tlie important facts that wc have thoroughly demonstrated on this trtii is that n s<i-lnch tread can travel the country roads in south Georgia and Florida as well ass a 60-indi tread. Heretofore it lias been thought im possible to gel service in these parts from a narrow tread car. but the new Studebaker lias proven this to be erroneous, it i.s my firm belief that the result will be more 56-inch treads sold in Florida during 1913 than the wider ones. ‘ Tile ear experienced absolutely no trouble whatsoever, and yet we follow ed Mr Hazlett’s instructions to the let ter. His orders said: ’I am not send ing you on this trip to take care of the ear; I want you to sul4«Ct it to the roughest treatment that it would pos sibly experience in the hands of the most careless owner. 1 want to’know if any changes are necessary to make tills ear absolutely reliable under any kind of conditions.’ And we certainly put the ear to some test. We drove through .-and that’came almost to the hull and through mud roads that were considered almost Impassable. “At every point we picked the places where tlie going looked the hardest, and yet neevr once was there a bobble. Tlie motor, transmission, ignition and cool ing system behaved perfectly at all times, and we are driving tlie car from Atlanta to Detroit without making a single adjustment. The roads in this section show a marked improvement over conditions of two years ago. and we ran across con vict gangs at work all along the way. The country seemed in an exceptionally prosperous condition.

The Atlanta Georgian Automobili Department fIIJTD emus smiim, I Studebaker Engineers Proffer Boon to the Motorist in Winter. To baffle the stmm king in ills as saults on motoring lannfort has been long the alm of automobile designers and body experts. improved wind shields and tops have helped somewhat toward this end. There ape now on the market a numbi r of practical automo bile stoves and foot - warmers. Special brands of lobes and cold weather cloth-’ Ing have been involved. The inclosed body types iv.iltiply on city stn-etr in ail their glory of coupe, sedan, landau let and limousine. Many motorists, w hose means permit, maintain separate equipment for cold weather rnotoiing. Rut tie- average man either garages his ear on blocks du: 'ng the coldest weatlmr or else does ids best to last it out, muffled well in furs ami getting whatever benefit lie can, from his side curtains. < >nly one who lias struggled in zero weather with refractory curtains, knows the discomfort whicli tins sys tem implies. To sit inside a car and to reach out a bare hand, above the door, buttoning up a gap conveniently acces sible only from without, is a process that robs a winter motoring trip of much of its zest. When frequent stops are made, as in the ease of a physician making his rounds, tlie discomfort and lost time become an increasing annoy ance. It recently occurred to one of the Studebaker engineers that tlie side curtain might be made to swing with the door. He worked out a curtain of this kind and found it necessary to add only a few pieces of supplementary construction, easily removed when open sides are desired. Tin- advantage was so plain that tin- plan was woiked out to a logical conclusion with a series of curtains which would tightly inelose the entire passenger compartment of a Studebaker “30” roadster. One of tlie details is a flap from the top whieli clips snugly to the top of the wind shield, effectively closing a Joint always troublesome with (lie old-style curtains. Witli tlie doors closed, the new Stude baker system makes a car perfectly tight, excepting two small holes for ventilation, one at either upper corner of the top. It Is believed that th” Studebaker plan is patentable, and exclusive rights will be asked for. In the meantime the Studebaker Corporation is arianging to manufacture a limited number of Studebaker ”20" roadsters, equipped with the storm curtains and designed especially for doctors, contructois and others who will appreciate a light. . closed ear, affording easy entrance ami egress and capable of being trans formed on short notice into a standard, open type. f What to Do and . How to Do It Several of the tire companies are now supplying Inner tubes nicely done up in envelopes. This is more fc.- tile pro- I teetlon of the tube than tor tippearance or advertising and the covering should not b> removed until it is desired to use the tube. 11l tlie tool box, where spare tubes are usually carried, it pro tests tlie rubber from sharp tools or oily boxes, both of which wreak Imvoc witli tires. The best plan is to carry the tube in some place wher< then- is no danger from either oil or tools. Nevei jiut a tuba in loose witli a number of tools, for a few mile:; will serve to put the sharp points through tile rubber in a half-dozen places. Radiator caps often have an unhappy knack of working- loose, and it is no ’ uncommon occurrence to see tlie front of tin- radiator around tlie tiller covered with lin-igiitly red dust. This is due to the velocity of the water circulation sometimes exceeding the capacity of the radiator or the steam that is gen erated by a temporary boiling of the water. If a gasket is made of red fiber, say 1-16 inch thick, and placed undflr the filter cap, the latter will not shake loose, and at the same time, tlie gasket will prevent leakage of water past tlie cap. It may happen that the overflow pipe has had a blow and blocked thu p:r«sage. TRUCKS FOR MAIL DELIVERY. The London, England, postoffice is to employ 70 new motor trucks to convey letters and parcels between the central and district offices and stations. The wagons will have a capacity of one ton each, and when tiiey are placed in serv ice the postoftiee fleet will number about 100 cars. No-Rim-Cut Tires 10% Oversize ' r r iiiziibl r -*?

Ray Harroun, formerly one of the most noted race drivers in the country, winner of the’ first 500-tnile Interna i lional Sweepstakes rage, now a member 1 of the engineering staff of Nordyke & Mannon Company, has just made a I 2,000-mile trip to Pittsbury and vicinity lin a Marin.m "Six" touring car. Prae ; ticaliy all the time was spent in the mountainous districts of that neighbor hood. “Automobile touring is still in its in fancy.” says Harroun. “although auto mobile owners ale gradually waking up to its possibilities. Much of the credit for tlie aroused interest is due the manufacturers of the cars, who are seeking to embody all the features in > their ears that will make touring de lightful. “Chief among these refinements are the adoption of a long wheel-base, ; whieli tends to equalize the unevenness of country highways, and the intro duction of the demountable wheel, which lias done away witli much of the old bugbear that was formerly attached to tire-changing. What was formerly considered quite a venture in touring iif now quite commonplace, if we can judge by the frequency witli which am ateur drivers undertake tours ranging anywhere from 500 to 5,000 or 111.000 miles in length. “After all. touring is the on< ideal way of spending a vacation, for one can be out in tlie open air ail tlie time en joying beautiful scenery, without any thought of schedules or time tables or Pullman accommodations. In fact, the way ears are built today rivals in com fort the best tluU. Hie palace bars of the steam road can produce. 1 was really surprised at the large number of tour ing parties I met on my trip, and it cer tainly speaks well for the popularity of the motor car. My own trip was on business for th<^Mannon factory, giving at tlie same time an opportunity to give further test on the hills of the Mannon ’Six’ whieli I was driving. "A trip covering 2,000 miles in about two weeks would have been considered extraordinary a few years ago. At that time it would have been necessary to provide all sorts of special equipment j before starting. Hut as manufacturers have reached ‘he point where their ears represent additional comfort and lux ury, as well as capability, 2,000 miles is hardly above the commonplace, ’ “One Mannon owner has just left In dianapolis on a 10,000-mile trip to tlie coast and back, with the idea of run ning 10,000 miles in 100 running days. That is an indication of what the mod ern motor car will allow.” \— ~ - 1 — ——r ■■, J fall i I HHi!
