July 11. The smaller one-man racing cars have had a whirl on the faster board bowls. It appears that there Is much room for Improve- ment before they will reach the speed and endurance of their larger brothers. After motors of 1S3 cubic Inches The Cadfllao Motor Car company, in Its search for new method of protect-In its craftsmen against Industrial accidents, after a series of experiments. has developed an original method of handling powerful acids used tn pick ling steels to prevent rust.

These acids are received at tho factory In carboys, which, are large, glob ular receptacles, Inclosed In wooden containers, reminding one of tho big bottles of filtered water used In cafeteria. According to usual factory practice, they are dumpea by two men Into the vats of boiling mixture. The operation Is much tho same as piston displacement had been success-v fully raced for three years. It was de-elded to reduce the sixe of the motors. W.

A. Riley, general superintendent of tha South Texaa division of the Producer. Refining company, with headquarters at San Antonio, was In Houston during tha past week attending tha details of opening the company's new filling station at 3718 McKinney avenue. W. W.

Glaze, local agent of the company, will bo In charge of tha now station, It was announced. The formal opening of the station was held Saturday and more than 500 motorists took advantage of tho offer of two quarts of lubricating oil with each five gallon gasoline purchase. Specifications called for cars of 123 cubic Inches. They were raced for the first time at Indianapolis on May 30 and made an excellent showing on the 2H-mlle brick Oval, where the best average time for the long grind of 600 miles, is 91.43 miles an hour made by Jimmy Mur phy In a lS3-lnch car In 1922.

The average was considered eieel One million, fifty thousand, one hundred and eighty-five Ford ears, Lincoln cars and Ford son tractors were produced by the various plants of the Ford Motor company during the first six months of IMS, according to sn announcement by R. 8. Abbott, manager of the Houston plant The production was divided as follows: Ford cars and trucks, M.ll;-Fordson tractors, and Lincoln automobiles. 3611. The monthly record of 17U.040 Ford cars and trucks In June exceeds the May record by 6000 cars, Mr.

Abbott stated. Despite the Increasing production of the company, Mr. Abbott said, the supply Is far below the de mand. The production budget for the last six months of 1913 calls for 1.S00.009 Ford csrs and trucks for use domestically, Mr. Abbott said.

Mr. Abbott also pointed out that although Ford products are selling for the lowest price in the history of the company, the present Ford car repre sents a higher quality and a greater value than ever before. In the Houston plant's territory, Mr. Abbott said, the truck business has taken a big Jump, ssles In June total ing 592. The production record at the Houston plant for the month of June was 4445 Ford cars and trucks, the greatest month In the history of the local branch.

In discussing the Increase In the de mand for trucks, Mr. Abbott stated that to his mind the business men find farmers ar showing a greater attitude of efficiency In conducting their business. Tha total sale of trucks In 1923 already doubles the sale during 1911, Mr. Abbott stated. ACCORDING TO EDWARD S.

JORDAN, president of the Jordan Motor Car company, automobile production will not be continued at the rate of 4.000,000 cars per year, or on the basis of the record established In the first quarter. This, he adds, will not be from lack of demand for the new cars offered for sale by the manufacturers, but from the lack of demand for old motor cars offered for sale by present owners. The potential demand for new cars Is about 15.000,000. but with every worklngman employed at high wages and the greater demand for new cars, the less eager la the demand for used cars. lent tor the Indianapolis track, which approximates the conditions of road facing.

The straightaways are long but the turns which are practically flat compared with the complete banks Of the bowl courses. Experts were more than pleased with aUKon's average. They contended that had Milton been pushed in thr last half of the race, as he was In the first, when lie was establishing new Records, that Murphy's high mark of the previous year would have ben Legalized Speed Of French Cars mCAao. ni, July tbo only limit to automobile speed In Franca, It may bo seven miles or It. Although there la a law setting tho maximum road apotd at 10 miles an hour It Is not enforced, tho rtale tn almost general application being that tha motorist Is within the limit It ho operates with safety.

Captain Marcel de Jarney, European representative of the Yellow Cab Manufacturing company, brought word Of this condition to President John Herts of the company on his arrival In this country recently. Captain da Jarney was told by Mr. Herts of the recent decision of Common Pleas Judge E. P. Mlddleton of the Champagne county (Ohio) courts, that with a clear road, a wide road bed and an automobile In good mechanical condltloa, a motorist may drive practically as fast as the power of his machine wilt permit, in the ru ral districts, without being subject to conviction.

The court In Its decision declared that while there was practically sW limit on clear, wide roads, a speed of under SO miles an hour might be considered excessive and the driver subject to arrest when the road was narrow, crowded with machines and the road bed In bad condition. In other words, the rule of reason applies. MOTORCYCLE SALE SHOWS INCREASE The annual conference of Indian motorcycle salesmen held during the week ending July 14 at the Wigwam in Springfield. was ons of the most Instructive for some years past, and the 1921 sesson Just closing was one of the best that the company has enjoyed in several years. It saw the passing of the post war period with young men, who are the natural market for the two wheeler, back at work resulting In sales totaling double that of the 1922 sesson.

One of the most significant facts brought out at the conference was that 2( per cent of the sales this year were to new riders, which predicates a new era of motorcycle prosperity. All salesmen went back to their territories with a required quota of sales expected for 1924 based upon the potentialities of the sections under their jurisdiction. snatch) disc wheels, two extra cord fires with, covers, a roomy tronic at rear with two taOeise swit caeca.
