Comparatively speaking, Brazil is not so far away from the United j States, but it must be kept in mind that this rubber is carried in vessels most of which are controlled by coun tries now involved in the European trouble, and also that a majority of these shipments have been cleared I through London; in fact only a small portion of crude rubber has been com ing direct to the United States from the producing countries. The world's supply of crude rub ber. or rather the amount in stock at tl»e rubber factories. New York and London, was at a remarkably low ebb at the beginning of the war, and it can be seen readily that with hostili ties continuing it is a question If the supply can be increased materially. The average rubber manufacturer places contracts for future delivery and as a rule does not carry over 90 to 120 days" supply. He has rubber coming in to him in weekly or monthly shipments. You can readily under stand with the present condition of affairs, the uncertainties of the rubber manufacturer being able to get the rubber that he has on contract. The' price of crude rubber for available stock that could be delivered promptly increased immediately at the opening of the war 50 to 100 per cent. While rubber is quoted lower at the present time than it was a few days, after the opening of hostilities, at the same time it is considerably higher than it was previous to August 1. The prices be ing quoted now on rubber are not for immediate delivery and there is still a question of being able to get this rubber that is offered for sale at any spoajfied time. The rubber producing countries of the Far East furnish the greater por tion of the rubber which is used in this country. A glance at the map will show you what a surprising dis tance this rubber has to travel before it reaches U»e American manufacturer. Follow the course of a vessel from Co l loinbo or Singapore, 8,000 to 10.000 miles through the Indian Ocean, Red [ Sea, Suez Canal, Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar to England and from across the Atlantic to New York, 3,300 miles more, and see what shipment ! from the Far East means in times of' peace—then add to this the dan gers and difficulties in time of war. With hostile battleships hovering about and with deadly mines under the water, even distance pales into in significance. If the Far East Fjpply should be -shut off, the tier manufacturers must look to South >r.ierica. Brazil fur nishes aproximately 4 0 per cent, of the supply of rubber, but the condi tions prevailing in the Far East are practically duplicated in South Amer ica. Brazilian rubber, knov. nas Para, has been almost entirely carried in foreign vessels to London. A glance at the map will sjiow the distance rub ber travels, and give a faint idea of the difficulties in route from the up per reaches of the Amazon to New- York City, even granting that this plan may be followed more extensively in the future. Owing to the slump in rubber prices some time ago, Brazilian concerns per mitted their supply to diminish until there is practically nothing in reserve. The rainy season is now prevailing, and little in the way of bringing in a new supply will Vie done until October, so It can be said that the immediate outlook in South America is not as satisfactory as might be. One result of the situaiion may be the readjustment of the method of handling the crude rubber supply, but) this cannot be done in a day or a month. About one-half of the supply is used in the United States and the American manufacturer is anxious to have shipments' come direct and the linancing done here. It has been sug gested that the supply from the Far East came across th£ Pacific to San Francisco or through the Panama ! Canal to New Yortc. The lack of American Merchant Marine may soon be corrected, and there would appar ently . be no good reason then why the finanping, or at least that affect ing the United States, cannot be done in New York as well as London. But withal there is a note of en couragement in London. Our presi dent, T. L. Robinson, who is now in London, takes an optimistic view, rte writes that rubber people in England believe that the situation will be re lieved, but admits that it may be a little time before satisfactory arrange ments can be made.

BAKER ELECTRIC SETS NEW RECORD R. S. Pullen Drives to Atlantic City and Return on One Charge Establishing a new record for elec tric cars. H. S. Pullen, sales manager for Carroll A. Haines & Company, ac companied by S. S. Pancoast, an electri cal engineer, as observer, drove one of the latest types of Baker Electric road sters to Atlantic City and return on one charge of the batt<*y. last Thurs day. After completing the trip to tho Haines Garage, he continued driving around the streets of the city until he had covered a total of 130 miles. Mr. Pullen makes affidavit that the run was performed entirely on one charge and that there was nothing freakish about the Morage batteries or other equipment on the car. He -used thin platf batteries, manu factured by tjie Philadelphia Storage Paitery Company, and Goodrich Silver town Cord tires. During the run the ca» averaged flf teen miles an hour. Miller Tire and Reo Test of 3,000 Miles For a i st of oar and tiro endur ance, Henry J. Adams, of Fostoria, 0., completed a three thousand mile trip through the northeastern section of the country with a Reo car equipped with Miller tires made by the Miller Rubber Company, at Akron. O. Adam# made the following; route which he recom mends as being an ideal tour. Cleve land to Buffalo to Rochester, down the state road to Montreal, back through Rouses on Lake Cham plain, across Ver mont and the Green Mountains, up into New Hampshire, and the White Moun tains; across Maine to the Atlantic Coast: then down the coast to Boston, through Rhode Island and Connecti cut to New York City and across New [Jersey to Philadelphia and on to Dela- I ware. Baltimore. Alt)., from there to Washington, D. C., over into Virginia and Mount Vernon. Washington's old home over the Hlue Ridge Mountains to Gettysburg, Pa. Cumberland, Md„ across the Allegheny Mountains into West Virginia and back into Ohio. "The tour lasted twenty-five days and the tires are good tor another trip." states Mr. Adams, and upon the return of the Fostoria man. four tires were sold upon the strength of the tire equipment on the sturdy Reo car.

Remarkable Performance of 1915 Maxwell in Run It was a surpassed and envious crowd that surrounded a Maxwell touring car at the end of the endur ance run from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe a few days ago. Surprised tlifit such a small car should be first to finish in a run which had all the dif ficulties and engine tests of a moun tain climb contest and envious because they had not had the honor to drive such a car. The Maxwell was an ordi nary stcck car. It was the smallest car in the ract of thirty-five entries, its competitors being the best-known and largest cars on the American market. In the car were newspaper men and an official photographer and in addi tion to showing the way to others, the Maxwell had to stop frequently that the photographers might get pictures for the automobile magazines and newspapers of the country. Extracts from the San Francisco Bulletin of September 12, show how the Maxwell "turned the trick." "Over the range of hills by Alta mont, Greenville, to Tracy and thence to Stockton, the procession took its way, the little Maxwell unassumingly maintaining Its position behind some of the presumably more powerful and speedy creations which were out for glory and the establishment of new records to begin the season of 1915. It was not until the foothill coun try was reached and some of the cars began to get warm that the Maxwell began to demonstrate its fitnoss to be among the elect. Then it began to pass first one car and then another, which, try as the drivers would, could not keep pace with Flanders' crea tion. Every photograph took time and upon completion the party was gen erally some distance ahead. Then came the making of a pace that called for all the reserve power, the quick turning and flexibility of control for which this little car is already famous and the constantly re curring result of overtaking and pass ing car after car, until once more the [ lead was reached and maintained."

Chalmers "Licht Six." KEYSTONE MOTOR CAR CO. 1019-1025 Market Street Harrisburg, Pa. FINISH OF MOTOR CUR REQUIRES MUCH CI Eighteen Operations With Uniform ity in Temperature and Ap plication of Coats "The finish of a car is a point that should receive mnch attention. The automobile, unlike the piano in the home or tbe highly polished furniture in the office must withstand exceed ingly severe conditions. Dust, rain, oil and temperatures ranging from below zero up to and above the 100 degree mark, must all be resisted by the enamels and vaj-nishes on the motor car. Some automobile manufacturers finish their own cars while other have this work done for them on a con tract. The disadvantage of this latter method," explained George F. McFar land, of the Harrisburg Auto Co., dis tributors, in this territory for the Haynes, America's First Car, "is that the manufacturer is never sure of what he is getting. for while a car may have the appearance of having been expensively finished, unless the best pigments and varnishes have been used, and unless the work has been correctly and painstakingly exe cuted, durability need not be expected. "Haynes 6ars are finished entirely in the Haynes factory, only the very highest grade products being used. The bodies are all 'rub-finished,' that is to say, the paint is actually rubbed into the surface of the metal. It Is considerably more expensive than other methods as it requires eighteen operations to produce a finished job. The object is to get a very thin uni form coat over the entire surface. Any vibration of the car terds to bend and crack the varnish. A thick coat will crack and peal off, while a thin, even, carefully applied series of > oats will resist this tendency to crack. "This may be illustrated by bending a piece of heavy cardboard and a piece of tissue puper. The cardboard breaks with the slightest bend while the tissue paper may be crumpled axalnst and again without fracture." Hupmobile Business Looks Very Promising For Year "I cannot exactly say that business looks dull," said F. J. Mooney, sales and advertising manager of the Hupp Motor Car Company, as he pointed to a batch of orders for 1915 Hupmobiles. "Hupmobile dealers all over the country are clamoring for cars and we are working night and day to supply the demand. Right now, we have enough orders on hand to keep our fac tories busy at normal capacity for the next three months, and if orders con tinue to come in as they have been in the past few weeks, it will be a long time before the production department will be able to catch up. ■ "The southern situation is beginning to lok very promising.
