B. HARRINGTON The new Packard demonstrator which arrived Jn the city Monday pro ceeded on to Philadelphia after being admired by many at the local branch. B. B. Harrington, who was one of the party to ride in this car from Detroit says the demonstration for this office will be here about September first. The most notable change in the ex terior appearance of the car is in the lamp design. Each of the powerful headlights has an auxiliary headlight which has a separate reflector but is an integral part of the same lamp. These auxiliary headlights are design- : ed for city driving or meeting cars ] on the road but have the aided ad- ' vantage of being supported near the j ground so as to throw the light on the j road ahead. With the addition of auxiliary head- < lights, the side lights were reduced ! In size and are now designed to be used only when the car is standing at the curb or for driving in cities where headlights of any kind are prohibited. The lights are governed by buttons on the control board which is located Just beneath the stearlng wheel. In providing this complete system of lighting, the Packard Company has taken a step of heading off legislation adverse to motorists. The tall light and license tag illumi nator have been replaced by a com bination tail light and license tag light on the rear fender. The motor is a conspciuous example of combined efficiency and clean de sign. The motor has a six-cylinder and Is of the L-head type with cylinders cast in blocks of three. It has a bore of 4 inches and a stroke of 6 M Inches, giving an A. L. A. M. rating of ;I8 H. P. The motor develops a niax ium of over sixty-five horsepower. Twenty body styles both open and enclosed are available for attaching te the Packard chassis. j/—-fir -4- -■!>• or ;■*> W HA R RI S BUR G j Recent strict enforcement of the automobile laws are reported at New ville, Carlisle, Mt.

CHANGES IN TRAVEL CONDITIONS OF WEST Crew of Saxon Coast to Coast Car Relate Their Various Experiences Conditions for touring through the West have changed for the better with almost Aladdln-llke 'rapidity during the past two years, and even a coast to coast trip is to-day possible without experienced the difficulties that used to beset the tourist. These observations were made by the crew who drove the transconti nental Saxon car from New York to San Francisco, the first oar to make the run over the Lincoln highway. "It was not necessary during our trip to take along a reserve of gaso line, nor did »ve ever run low on wa ter for the radiator, though for days in crossing the deserts the thermom eter hovered between 120 and 130 de grees and at times the car journeyed over hot sands more than 100 miles from habitation," relates M. A. Cro ker. a member of the crew. "The question of water, tires and gasoline used to be a bug-bear for transcontinental tourists. But it is no longer. Though a coast to coast trip is not exactly In the nature of a Joy ride, the fact remains that certain mean problems have been solved through the Increased gasoline facili ties and the added number of water ing stations in the Far West. "It formerly was considered folly to attempt an ocean to ocean trip without carrying along a camping outfit and being prepared to spend nights out in the wilderness. Tills condition is also a thing of the past. To-day a schedule may easily be ar ranged so that the tourist can figure on reaching a full fledged town or at least a ranch house every night of his tour. "We also found it a simple matter to go across without carrying a sup ply of extra parts. A few years ago any discreet transcontinental tourist would have carried along almost a full stock of parts and would have used most of them before reaching his destination. This was true even in the case of the highest priced cars. The conclusion is that great progress ninst have been made in the art of building automobiles, when a small two-passenger car can withstand such ;in arduous trip as this and come through in good condition." Trumbull Roadster Sells For Less This Season Trumbull Car Company of Camp Hill has announced a reduction In the price of the Trumbull light roadster this season. The car former ly sold at $425 but this season It is being placed on the market at $375. This includes equipment with electric lights, electric horn, top, side cut-ins, top envelope, windshield and tools. This little roadster has created a great deal of favorable comment since being introduced In Harrisburg. It Is a four-cylinder car with eighteen horsepower motor and gearless drive. The running board and fenders arc full length of oar. The Suburban Garage at the toll gate in Market street has just been completed as a home for the Trum bull Car Company, local representa tives for this attractive little model. The garage is ample to accommodate twenty-five ears, with repair facilities for the convenience of the car owners of that section. Vulcan Touring Model Now at Penbrook Garage After a delay of several months, be-1 cause of a number of changes In the designs and refinements of the Vulcan touring car, the new 1915 model of this five-passenger car is now on dis play at the Penbrook garage. This Is an entirely new model throughout, as the company only manufactured a roadster type last year. Therefore a great deal of interest centers in this new model designed to sell below the one thousand dollar class. The Vulcan is built low to the ground with drop frame and front axle. This design possesses practically all the advantages of an underslung with none of the disadvantages. All freak ish details have been carefully omit tiU, and everything clumsy or com plicated has been discarded by the Vulcan designers. The result Is a clean cut, practical car that will stand up under severe usage and is extremely graceful in design with its streamline body and clean running boards. The four-cylinder motor is rated at twenty-seven horsepowvr, but froin tests made is said to be capable of developing considerable more. The car has electric lights throughout, deep upholstery and sells at SBSO f. o. b. factory. The first delivery has been made and assurance of others to follow has been received by H. A. Fishburn, and as the design Is now acceptable to the engineers and the ee\ere test of the chassis on the road ster type has prove its efficiency in the hands of the many ownerb who have tested It under all sorts of condi tions. LEWIS NEW SIX NOW SHOWN BY ENSMINGER European Design, With Greater Capacity in Tonneau Than Most Cars The "Lewis" six-cylinder cars, which were received this week by the Ensminger Motor Co., Third and Cumberland streets, which acts as dis tributor throughout Central Pennsyl vania for the L-P-C Motor Company, the manufacturer of the "Lewis" cars, have attracted more attention and been the object of more admira tion than is usually accorded the in troduction of a new car In Harris burg. The "Lewis" is distinctively Euro pean in appearance as well as In con struction. It is the though out prod uct of the'comblned experience an 1 in telligence of a noted French automo bile engineer, M. Petard, and one of America's foremost automobile manu facturers, Captain William • Mitchell Lewis, and it is claimed by Its maker that it is the most scientifically con structed car in the world. While the French hood may first attract attention because of its un usual yet handsome design, still this is not the most distinctive feature that the "Lewis" possesses. What really distinguishes the "Lewis" from ail other makes of cars is that a greater proportion of the chassis has been utilized for the carrying of passen gers than can be found in any other car of equal wheelbase. It Is an un usually roomy oar. Even when the extra scats between the front and rear compartments are in place yet any compartment can be entered without disturbing the occupants of the other compartments. This roominess is not wholly the result of the long wheel base, 135 inches, but rather the re sult of the design of the body. When one sees what has been accomplished in body construction in the "Lewis" the wonder is that it had not been adopted long ago. According to Mi*. Ensminger, the president of the Ensminger Motor Company, the "Lewis," although a sixty horsepower, six-cylinder car, will run from 17 to 19 miles on a gallon of gasoline\ even when carrying six people. This Is most unusual in a oar of the size nf the "Lewis," yet when one considers its weight is but 3,250 pounds it is understandable. "It Is a marvel at the price," said Mr. Ensminger, "and the best proof of that is that without exception every one who examines the car expresses the greatest amazement when In formed that its price is but >1,600. It is a $3,000 car which sells for sl,- 600. It is a $3,000 car which gelis for sl.i>oo, and we are very proud of It. We sold the first car to a promi nent Harrisburger, who has owned a great many cars, within two hours after unloading the first shipment." Hupmobile Perfecting Selling Organization Announcement has been made by the Hupp Motor Car Company of the appointment of W. C. Howard to the position of assistant advertising mana ger. The two appointees have had wide experience in their respective lines of work and will assist sales and advertising: manager, F. J. Mooney, In the activity of building up the Hup mohile selling organization. The appointment of Mr. Howard as assistant sales manager was made in recognition of his unusual ability while acting as traveling sales representa tive for the Hupp Motor Car Com pany He is rated as one of the most successful salesmen In the automobile industry and was instrumental In building up Hupmoblle business throughout the Middle West. Wide experience in sales work will enable him to cope successfully with the tasks of his new undertaking. Mr. Buck, who formerly was con nected with the Service Advertising Department of the Peninsular Engrav ing Company, Detroit, has had wide experience In the advertising field. His initial bow to advertising work dates back some years ago when he was newspaper correspondent in the East, which he later dropped to take on agency work with the J. Walter Thompson Co. In his capacity as De troit representative of that concern he made a great number of friends among advertising publishing companies throughout the Middle West. Mr. Buck will assume'his new duties at once. An extended sales and advertising campaign tor 1915 is outlined by F. J. Mooney, sales and advertising mana ger, and the company plans to make the next season the biggest In the history of the organization. As evi dence of the resourcefulness of the Hupp Motor Car Company, the officials aie planning an Intensive sales and advertising campaign throughout South America, as the much over-run European market has been completely closed. It Is expected that, due to the International conflict of war, almost every car sold In South America dur ing the coming season will he of Ameri can manufacture, and Hupmobiles will he well represented with an added number of men and cars to take care of the lncrenpp<l market.

PHOTO SUPPLIES AND SUGAR GOING UP IN PRICE Though German Dye Is Cut Off, Silk Mill Expects to Go on Working Further effects of the war are being felt in mercantile circles in the city, and the shutting off of imports is the cause of considerable shifting of prices. The chief effects are felt among houses using German goods. Germany's exports to this country which are most prominent are chemi cals, toys and fine papers. It is on account of the lack of chemicals and of the peculiarly toned German developing papers that photo graphers may be affected. This trade Is the latest to be effected, according to advices from New York. Local photographers have not yet received notices of advances in the prices of the articles mentioned, but are ex pecting them almost daily. May Kffeot Silk Mill One phase of the situation which may effect Harrisburg developed to day, but an optimistic tone prevailed when it was announced that the Har risburg silk mills expect to go on winding for some time. In this re spect the local mill is better off than man- others, which New York pap ers say may have to close on account of the inability of procuring chemi cals from Germany that are used in dyeing. But is was said at the local mill to-day that unless Japan mixes into the war it is likely that product ion can be continued. Suitor Hoops Jumping Meanwhile sugar keeps jumping at fifty cent clips per barrel. Today's quotation is $7.80. It was $4.50 be fore the war broke. Retail prices vary throughout the city. Some grocers are protecting their custom ers by refusing to make an advance, until their present supply runs out. On an average a price of nine cents is being maintained. And that means the price of candy is likely to Increase, but perhaps there is a moral to all this. Dentists will tell you that sugar is -bad for the teeth. And right along with that announcement they will tell you that because of the impossibility of im porting platinum the price of false teeth is going to rise. Now any economist can dope out the real optimistic news: Refrain from sugar and there will be no false—but, what's the use?

Passing Impressions of Finance By Louis Guenther We may regard ourselves fortunate, considering tlio fury of tho financial storm that had encompassed our se curity markets, that we did not have more wreckage to clear away. Timely foresight alone prevented It. Future generations will refer to the incidents of the past week us an acute panic the like of which the country never heretofore experienced and possibly will never see again. It was worse than a tornado; it was an Bast Indian simoon. Compared to it tin- liquida tion superinduced by Black Friday, the Northern Pacific and the 1907 panic re sembled spring thunder showers, i Those dark periods in our financial history resulted from causes originat ing within ourselves, consequently tho liquidation In securities did not reach as large dimensions. The present panic was borne upon the wings of unl- I versa 1 fright, and gathered a terrible I momentum with each minute of its dur ation from tlie world wide eagerness to get hold of gold Irrespective of what sacrifices there were involved in get ting it. ' The primal thought was "where to get the gold." Where else was it ob tainable than in the United States, the only free and untroubled world power? While we were quite prepared Ito lend Europe a helping hand tli#ro j are limits to which even a rich treas- I ury can be taxed, and we discovered lin a few days that this was our po- Isitlon. There remained for us no other ! course to pursue in safeguarding the I bulwards of our own economical condi tions than to shut tight the lid on our available cash resources. ' As It happened the Stock Exchange j suspended trading not a day too soon. I Another session of such violent declines iln security values as occurred on ! Thursday, the day on which tiio Ex- I change was reluctantly forced to close, I would have virtually ruined thousands lof Investors, would have made It Im possible for many of them to strengthen their margins with substan tial deposits as the circumstances [would have demanded and their i straightened financial condition might j have caused the temporary insolvency |estimated thai If opportunity Is given j a regiment of additional Japanese will i enroll themselves and don the Cana dian uniform.

In a situation so critical to safely handle it heroic measures alone could suffice. All the other exchanges had already shut down, therefore It was shere folly for New York to maintain the open door which was tantamount to holding the bag for entire Europe. It became with us a paramount neces sity first to adopt every physical de vice to keep our gold from flowing abroad, and second In the interest of our own Investors to protect their se curities against further Insane slaugh ter In prices. All this Wall Street has succeeded in doing. Brokers, bankers and bond houses have shown the American peo ple how men In a great crisis can hang together. Their courage, their alert foresight and their disinterest so fat as their personal self was concerned. Is a noble example of as high a type of citizenship as could he found any where under the sun. By proving in an emergency which calls forth the true metal in men that they can be come super-men the men who compose • Wall Street have done more to win back public confidence than they couid have done by years of educational pro poganda regarding the real functions of a financial market. Not until the Governors are con vinced that the storm has completely passed away and it Is possible to again transact business on a normal basis will the Exchange reopen: or does any one want it to open until all danger has vanished. It is the business of all of us now to protect our own financial structure against assaults from the outsido which can only lead to need less sacrifices in the value of Ameri can securities. But to attain that result means heavy pecuniary losses for as long as Stock Exchange members cannot trade, it is impossible for them to earn any money with which to meet the ex penses of their establishments.
