NORWEGIANS CELEBRATE Associated Press Minneapolis, Minn., May 16. Nor wegians from all over the Northwest to-day began a three days' celebration here in honor of the 100 th anniversary of Norway's Independence. CHJUIDIER LI6HT SIX HIRED BY MANY First Demonstrator Sold by An drew Redmond Almost as Soon as Agency Was Placed George P. Parker, representing the Chandler Motor Car Company, of Phil adelphia was at the Andrew Redmond automobile salesroom this week In troducing the new Chandler "Light Six" to the people of Harrisburg and vicinity The results were exception ally gratifying as Mr. Redmond re ports the sale of the first car which was brought here from Philadelphia. The Chandler light-weight six sells for $1785, fully equipped. It weights 2885 pounds completely equipped. The manufacturers claim sixteen miles per gallon of gasoline and seven hundred miles per gallon of oil, and seven thousand miles average on a set of tires are among the strong features claimed for this handsome six-cylinder motor car. The speed range Is from three to fifty-five miles per hour with out change of gears. The car is dis tinguished by the beauty of its steam line body design. The exclusive Chandler motor is among the finest American types em bodying the long stroke principle. The well-known Westlnghouse Separate Unit Starting and lighting System is among the high-grade features in the Chandler. The simple single wire sys tem is used for lighting, with wires running through armored conduit. Other strong features found on lead ing high-price sixes include Bosch magneto for ignition; Imported annular ball bearings; large gasoline tank in rear; Mayo genuine Mercedes type honeycomb radiator; true stream-line body design; no dash; no projections; crowned fenders; clean running boards; no side lamps; double globes In front lights: cast aluminum motor base ex tending from frame to frame; oiling system all contained within the motor; left side drive and center control; mul tiple disc steel nnd raybestos clutch; Firestone demountable detachable rims; Stromberpr carburetor; double enclos ed brake drums; triangle section torsion rod; deep ten and twelve-inch cushions. The men who build the Chandler hand been building the highest grade high-priced sixes in America for six years before they designed the Chandler, and Mr. Redmond feels con fident that it will prove popular as a seller among- those who want a six cylinder ear with high-grade features selling below the two thousand-dollar figure. Horse-Drawn Fire Apparatus Now Motorized The city of Toledo, Ohio, has begun the reorganization of its fire depart ment. the ultimate object being to eliminate the horse in this class of municipal work. The first step was taken recently when the city gave the Willys-Overland company an order for a special Willys Utility chassis, to which the body equipment of a horse draw fire wagon was transferred. The new fire-fighting vehicle is now a mo tor-driven combination chemical and hose wagon, equipped with electric lights all around, special pneumatic tires, siren horn, push pedal gong and other standard equipment. The reconstruction of the apparatus was accomplished at a comparatively small cost, the sale of the horses and equipment formerly necessary almost equaling the price of the work. The new vehicle has already made several runs and city officials who have watched its performance closely are delighted with its speed and efficiency. TIRES!

ESSENTIIIL HINTS IN LEMMING TO DRIVE George McFarland Reviews Neces sary Precautions and Qualifications Required at the Wheel "Foresight, correct judgment and self-control are essential qualifications which the motor car driver should at tain," said George F. McFarland, president and general manager of the Harrisburg Automobile Company, dis tributors for the Hayes, America's first car, in this territory. "If you feel that you lack self-con fldence it is well to have some one teach you to drive step by step. In the first place, don't expect or even try to learn everything at once. Have your instructor take the car to some unfrequented street and then, while he controls the throttle, learn to steer while moving along slowly in high gear. "Hold the wheel firmly but not too tight. Don't try to go in an absolutely straight line; turn the wheel slightly and see for yourself how sensitive it Is by trying to dodge small objects in the road. tty practicing in mis manner for sometime you will wear orr tne nervous feeling and will be surprised at the ease with which a big, powerful car may be steered. "The next step is learning to ma nipulate the clutch and the gears. Shut ott the motor and with the car stand ing still go through the operation of changing gears time and time again, rot?*" though the car were running Then, after starting the motor, throw out the clutch pedal, shift the hand ever into first speed position and re lease tho clutch pedal very slowly ?i. your instructor operates the thiottle. Repeat this over and over again, see how slow*ly you can start and stop the car before ever attempt ing to go into the higher speeds. Always exercise great care in shift ing gears with a handshift lever. Be sure that the clutch pedal is in its downmost position before moving the lever. On the other hand, when going trom one speed to another don't wait too long as the car will lose its mo mentum. Vulcan electric gear shift this is taken care of mechanically, that .intn J' , th . e ,5 e \ lr cannot be shifted gaged has become disen- tl ? e Haynes cars, equipped with tmiPh u 18 merely necessary to touch a button on the steering: wheel corresponding to the desired speed and then, when you wish to make the change, it is only necessary to de press the clutch pedal. Suppose you are moving along in high; the next change will be to second: you merely press button No. 2 and the car con tinues to move along in high until you are ready to make the change, it be ing necessary to operate the clutch pedal only at that time. ioo.Pr ive s '° wly and cautiously when fnrTJi the hancl throttle set i spee<l antl Practice using the wen S ° r ', Always get the car well under way before changing to a higher gear. In ease it is found neces sary to shift back to second ortow Inn T ™ en , dinfr a don't wait too long. The lower speeds are for a pur pose, don t hesitate to use them if the motor begins to labor. Retard the spark when ascending a hill." Attention to Detail a Feature in Chalmers Cars An automobile manufacturer never can tell just whet detail of his car may make it popular or otherwise with some fastidious buyers. Some times it is color, sometimes the style of the door handles or some other itl tle thing. Here's a case where a pur chaser was chiefly influenced in favor of his car by iron. One of the most enthusiastic Chal mers "Six" boosters is Charles Kellie, owner of one of the biggest foundries on the Pacific coast. Before buying his car, Mr, Kellie studied many dif ferent makes. And because he is a foundryman, the point that recom mended the Chalmers to him over all other makes was the excellence of the castings used. "The castings used in Chalmers cars, ' says Mr. Kellie, "are excellent. Naturally this feature appealed to me very strongly. It was the chief rea son why I bought a Chalmers 'Six.' " In Dallas a salesman was trying to sell a Chalmers to a man who was a stickler for details. He had examined many cars but was still undecided. As a final argument the salesman was telling him how painstaking cars are built in the Chalmers factory "Why just look at these screw heads," said the salesman. "Everyone is turned the same way. There's at tention to detail for you." The cus tomer examined every visible screw head and when he found them actually all in line, bought the car. ! In New York a great many cars— especially limousines—are sold with special upholstery in the favorite color of the purchaser. A Chalmefs dealer in a large eastern city sold one car with four seats of fancy seat covers to match the gownn of a prominent society woman. During the past season a great many Chalmers "Sixes" have been sold because the motor is so vibration less that a lead pencil can be bal anced on the cylinders while the mo tor is running at high speed. And the Chicago dealer sold in one day, two Chalmers "Sixes" simply because the doors are wide enough to admit comfortably an extremely fat person. Special Colors Predominate on High Grade Automobiles According to Edward P. Gerber president of the Abbott Motor Car Company, Detroit, Mich., this company is finishing at least one-half of its out put in fancy colors. Touring cars and roadsters in both six and four-cylinder models are be ing turned out daily in Violet Purple Lake. Napier Green, Golden Brown, French Carmine, Town Car Blue, as well as the standard black. . The demand for fancy colors seems to be unusually insistent this Spring, which is probably occasioned by the use of special colors on all of the high priced foreign cars. Without hardly an exception every foreign car is be ing finished in some special shade, principally those above mentioned. This new demand is causing auto mobile factories much extra work. It means carrying three or four stocks of bodies and in addition to this it takes considerably longer period of time to finish a body in special color than in standard black. However, the results attained are of such unusual attractiveness that a large number of the higher priced concerns are glad to furnish special colors, although the medium and cheaper cars find the cost prohibitive and are obliged to refuse all orders of this kind I Superiority Counts ! And that is why, every ABBOTT car sold sells several more. They stand to-day ahead of any car selling within five hundred dollars of their price. MECHANICALLY, they equal any and EXCEL many. They are HATED by COMPETITORS and GREATLY ADMIRED by their users. This alone is ample evidence of their STERLING worth. Financial Standing A controlling interest in this company was recently purchased by a Pitts burgh millionaire. This is our strongest pledge to ABBOTT users that this great line will meet future expectations in a financial way—in every way. The Abbott Motor Car Company is clear of all debt. It owes NOT A DOL LAR, except for current merchandise accounts. Against it there are outstanding ! NO BONDS, NOTES OR MORTGAGES. There is no watered stocks upon which dividends must be paid. ' Every dollar of car cost contributes to car quality. We have no tribute to pay tothe mistakes of the past nor to the radical experiments of the present. APPRECIATR, THIS!
