The small ear is destined-to play 
a most important role in the future 
development of the, automobile in- 
dustry. For every large and power- 
ful car produced, there will be a 
hundred small ones, capable of 
transporting passengers at a speed 
of from 15 to 30 miles an hour, or 
of hauling merchandise in eonsider- 
able quantities. The expense of run- 
ning these vehicles will be in keep- 
ing with the moderate first cost. © 
The notion that the automobile- 
buying. public buys cylinders, in- 
sisting upon obtaining as great a 
number of cylinders as can be had 
for a certain sum of money, is not 
substantiated with regard to the 
sales of one and two-cylinder ears, 
which are, if anything, even greater 
favorites than they were before. 
Their size makes them ideal vehicles 
for dodging in and out of crowded 
city streets, where the larger car 
would have to be backed and man- 
oeuvred in order to reverse its posi- 
tion. They also require little room 
for storage.

Admittedly, the greatest obstacle 
to securing possibilities of efficiency 
and long life, which are latent in 
every automobile, is the indifference 
and neglect of the operator; and, 
furthermore, that neglect has its 
most immediate and far-reaching in- 
fluence when it affects the lubrica- 
tion. Few drivers are so criminally 
careless as to forget to replenish 
the mechanical oiler and crank-case 
supply, and most of them refill the 
gear-box and rear axle casing ac- 
casionally; but the many small oil 
holes and grease cups, which of 
necessity must be scattered over the 
chassis are too frequently neglected.

For the season of 1910, the well- 
known English firm of wire-wheel 
builders, Rudge-Whitworth, | will 
produce more wire wheels than ever 
before, these having gained much in 
popularity in the past year, both 
through excellent service in touring 
use, and more through the stand- 
up qualities displayed in the races, 
which have been held. The latest 
wheels will have a triple row of 
spokes, the third being set on a long 
diagonal out to the extreme outer 
end, so as to lend additional strength 
to resist the severe. side strains. 
Not that the previous wheels, which 
will still be continued, lacked in 
this particular, but that the public 
doubts on this score, and must be

Patriotic Exercises. 
Despite the bad weather Tuesday 
evening, the patriotic exercises held 
at G. A. R. hall; Manchester, m hon- 
or of Lincoln, Washington and Me- 
Kinley, were very well attended. 
The program was arranged by the 
patriotic instructors,’ Mrs. J. 8S. 
Reed, Alfred 8. Jewett and Lyman 
W. Floyd of the W. R. C., Go ALR., 
and S. of V., respectively. The pro- 
gram was shortened somewtat.. The 
principal features of the evening's 
exercises were selections by Mrs. 
Reed, on ‘‘The Life of’ Lincoln,”’ 
and by Mr. Jewett, on “‘The Life of 
McKinley,’’? and a talk by Mr. 
Floyd, on ‘‘Washington.’’ Follow- 
ing the exercises, a collation of co- 
coa and cake was serve: by the 
ladies of the corps.

scarf, 6 months’ music lessons,’’ is

reassured. So wide spread has been 
this demand, that the makers are 
now forced to make no less than 
nine different models, to fit the va- 
rious car designs, and different bear- 
ings used. The new triple spoke 
lends itself well to more advanced 
steering-gear design.

noted artists’ coterie who discovered 
the ‘‘“paintable’’’ qualities of the 
North Shore, as did his sister artist, 
Miss ‘Atwater. The Manns owned 
the charming ‘‘ Windover”’ estate at 
Eastern, Point, but a few years ago 
sold it to Miss Curtis of New York
