IIAnmsnuno, July ll. Whatever may
be the attitude of the weather clerk during
the week, the younsr people of Pcnnsyhanla
who hae been nrhlnp by the hundreds
nil day for the State Christian Endeavor
Convention are here for n biff time. Amonir
them flre more than 400 delegates from
Philadelphia and hundreds of other visitors
from the camo city.
Christian Endeavor conventions usually
afford oportunltles for ble things, but this
one Is expected to be a record-breaker. Any
one who has been nround the railroad Btn
tlonB during the day and has neon the
crowds of incoming delegates would agree
that In numbers, at least, records were being
made. Almost every train bore its quota of
young people, many of them on their first
visit to the capital city, and all eager for
the opening of the meetings to which they
hao so longed for. Somo of the counties
Bent special trains, so largo were their dclo
Rations nccnPTioN op delegates.
Assisted by n number of boy scouts In
Uniform, the Reception Committee conducted
the delegates to the convention hall as fast
as they arrived. Hero tho Entertainment
Commtttco quickly registered them and
assigned them to their places of entertain
ment in tho homes of Harrlshurg. The Jit
ney Club of Hnrrlsburg kept n. supply of
machines at the hall, nnd as the dclcgatca
were assigned thoy were conducted to tho
places indicated. Those who camo earlier
In the day had plenty of time for sight
ceelng trips over the city nnd many of them
took advantago of tills opportunity.
While tho delegates were coming In the
State Executive Committee held Its opening
meeting In Market Square Presbyterian
Church. At 71G this evening tho conven
tion will get under way. At that time, with
State Vlco President J. Henry Stnult, of
Pittsburgh, presiding, the convention will
formnlly open with song and prayer, ad
dresses by Governor Hrumbaugh nnd Bishop
U. I Swcngcl, an anthem by tho Harris-
Uurg Christian Endeavor Choral Union and
tho convention sermon by tho Hov. W. N.
Yates. Stato President Clarence II. Chain,
' of Philadelphia, will deliver the "keynote
speech," In which ho will set forth tho
convention purpose. Homor Itodehcavcr,
Billy Sunday's chorister, will add yet moro
thousands to those who nlrcady know nnd
love tho tones of his silver-throated trom
bone. When tho moro formal part of tho pro
gram has been concluded, tho delegate") will
scatter to vnrious city churches, where
short muilcal programs will be given, fol
lowed by a social hour, In which tho visitors
, may bocomo acquainted with tho Jocal del
egates. Refreshments will bo served
The Chamber of Commerce has sent let
ters to tho Hnrrlsburg merchnnts asking
them to decorato their phves of business for
tho convention Tho pooplo of tho city aro
also requested to display Christian Endeavor
pennants and flags.

features of Christian Endeavor work will
be Interested In the banquets that aro an
nounced for tho evenings of Wednesday,

has been an active ondeavorer for 10 years
or more, or who has been an officer In a
State, county or local Christian Endeavor
Union, may become a veteran. The annual
, Gatherings of this organization will bo un
usually enjoyable If the stories that como
from Ohio and other States are indications.
Thl3 Veterans' Association Is expected to
bo a great help in furthering tho work of
tho State union.
Christian Endeavorcrs aro estimating
that tho registration of delegates to he
Etate convention will reach the 3000 mark,
and In all probability beyond. One thou
and seven hundred nnd thirty delegates
from Harrlsbtng Christian Endeavor
Union, D00 Juniors and GOO delegates from

by tho General Committee today.

Another new 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers, 7 passengers, 122 -inch wheelbase, supreme beauty, $1280 Detroit
"And the original 3400 r. p.m. Chalmers, doubly refined, amazing performance. 115-inch wheelbase, $1090 Detroit
t ;t "

Picture a giant of rare strength and ability, and clothe
him in fine garments and you have a mighty pood
picture of this new Chalmers
the 1917 - 00 r. p. m. Chalmers with the 122-inch
wheelbase, double cowl body and French pleated
upholstery.
A good day's work was done when they made it,
They took as a base the 1916 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers.
A car that had 1,000,000 miles of record behind it,' And
a service mark of 99.21 percent perfect.
They didn't touch the 3400 r. p. m. power plant.
They stood pat there.
And on this magnificent chassis they laid a body that
surpasses the ordinary man's power of expression.
To describe this gorgeous body is like trying to de
scribe a Rocky Mountainunset. It's impossible. '
You get an optic sensation that fills the mind with
a picture you'll never forget.
Lines ladies, they're so severely modern that at
first the Chalmers people thought they'd have to change
them too far ahead of the procession.
But Mr. Chalmers finally said to go ahead. Andshe
was right, becausenche first one that sailed up the avenue
stopped traffic.
Men driving cars actually drove up ahead in front to
see what car it was.
And performance gentlemen! There's never been
but one that could touch hei1 her 3400 r. p. m. sister.
She performs with a laugh. She-has never refused me
a hill. She has never failed to answer my every whim.
3400 r. p. m. is the reason.
But wna't I like most about her is the perfectly
corking body. v
I'm going to tell about one little feature of the body,
and then you'll have tocome and find the rest out for
yourself.
It's about the upholstery. Now, there 'sbeen reams
written and tons talked about upholstery. Some one
once measured' it in inches. Another described it in
curlicue springs. Some one else reduced it to "real hair. '
I don't know the thickness of it and care less; but
when I get in the tonneau and sit down I have a feeling
that I never want to get out.
It fits the fat man as we'll as the thin man.
"They're long pleats French pleats (which say good
by once and for all time to the "button and biscuit"
kind).
She's a real car, gentlemen, and a wonderful value
$1280 Detroit. You put away in your wardrobe the
equivalent of four good suits of clothes, a couple of pairs
of ten-dollar shoes, and a Knox hat when you lay down
the money for her. You save about $275.
Don't let me forget to call attention to her smaller
sister
the 1917 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers with the 115-inch
wheelbase.
Because she's a 8400 r. p. m. 'r, great on the hill,
smooth in traffic, full of spunk any time any day.
She's just like her 1916 predecessor. Neither you nor
I could tell the difference. And you're dead sure when
you buy her because her record is as clear-cut as a cameo
1,000,000 miles of use with a service record of 99.21
percent perfect.
Both cars are ready. If you haven'tseen them you've
missed a day's treat. Better than gqing to the art gallery.
