Th's Honounermrnt. was made by General Manager John Herts to : meeting of drivers this week. Hertz said he want. d the Yellow taxi drivers to be prompt .-rid efficient, but deplored that many drivers try to beat every other driver on the road. He declared no driver was going to suffer from an injustice, but added that any chauffeur who burned up !he companv's money in careless driving would burn up some of his own

I at the same time. lAccjdcnts in the future will cut in on the profit sharing i of offending chauffeurs. I rieet oj Cadillacs on This Trail. I Cver a beautiful scenic route between I San Diego and El c.-ntrot. in California. ! a distance of 13 mile-, twenty-one

Chicago Motor Club Grows Fast., Csually when the boss Is away the assistants wil play, bu-t that was not the ease at the iTvicsgo Motor Club while President Charles M. Hayes wan on a tour of inspection of southern

Most molonrts have probably heard of the Pennsylvania state constabulary. The achievements of this organization in dealing with lawlessness rank with Ihose of the mounted police of the northwest. They were formerly mounted on horses, but the demand for speed to beat a bandit at his own game has caused tie state to purchase a large number of motorcycles. Seventy Harle.vDavidsons, f-hod with Coodycar tires, vvet;e recently turned oyer to Pennsylvania In one lot. to be used by the constabulary.

high there is only a slight resistance. The resistance may be increased by shifting into second, and further Increased by going into first. When still ,ri ater resistance H desired without living the brakes, it may lie secured by shutting off the ignition and closing the throttle. The proper resistance .tnd the best control on a steep grade may be obtained by fhiftmg off the ignition, (losing the throttle and braking oct asional! y. i Steam Carburetor Ingenious Device. One of the ingenious (ic; ices to Aid Carburetors on these machines were, reburetor. It is really an auxiliary carburetor, for it is used in conjunction with gas carburetors. Two Chicago automobile editors tested this accessory on a Marmon 3 4. a Yelie and a Chevrolet. Carburetors on these machines ew re, re-t-pcctivcly. the Stromberg. najfUld. and Z'-ntlh. A quart can was used in one i est. On another car the vacuum feed : v. as disconnected from the tank, drained and then filled with exactly a quart cjf gasoline. The cars were then run on the, gai carburetor until the quart was burned up. They were Uien run using Ihe. combined fas and strain carburctots. The- following per cent increase in gasoline mileage results: Marnwn, 31 1-3; V( lie. 27. and Chevrolet. 2". .The increase in speed under pull was noted as follows: Marnii.n. o'j miles; Velio, 3 8i miles, and hvrolct. 6 miles.

Thi water for the steam carburetor In taken from the cooling system, is heated and vaporized by the exhaust manifold. The resultant steam is shot into tho Kns carburetor to be mingled wlLh vaporized air and gasoline. Motorists have noticed that their ears ran mor .smoothly on .lamp days. This principle ha-3 been made use of in bringing the steajn carburetor to practical perfection. It is manufactured by a Chicago firm and has been so suco-sM'ul that the rights of sale in praelirjiUy every Mate have been disposed of. Million and Quarter Tords for 1320.

Gold Didn't Materialize. A Chicago inventor named Briee, ?n lc07. was seeking" a patent on a process for making gold from a mixture of antimony, iron and sulphur. The patent office would not grant it without proof that the Idea had merit, and the then secretary of thetreasu;-y was persuaded to direct the mint bureau to try the thing out. There must have been something wrong about this methods of the treasury laboratory; for not a particle of ;old or silver as obtained.
