10 LIGHT SIX IS EASY TO START IN COLO Morton Explains Advantages of Chalmers Circulating De vices on Wintry Days "One of the strong points of the Chalmers 'Light Six' is that in start ing up a cold motor, the water does not circulate through the cylinders until it becomes hot," said Robert L. Morton, local manager of the Chalmers agency. "As a result the motor quick ly arrives at the temperature where smooth operation and maximum effi ciency are obtained. "Where motors are equipped with vapid circulating devices the cold water is passed through the system for quite a while after the motor starts. This keeps the motor old for « consideraUle length of time. To overcome this, a thermostat control is sometimes used In i«ie cooling system to cheek the flow of the water until it becomes heated in order to warm up the motor more rapidly. "With tlie Chalmers thermo-syphon system exactly the same results are ob tained without all the complications of the thermostat control. All extra mechanism, including the pump, is eli minated. "The water lies still until the engine warms it up and causes it to move. The hotter the engine becomes, the faster the water circulates. In warm weath er. when the engine is naturally hot ter, the water circulates faster than In cpld weather, thus cooling the mo tor more efficiently, just as it warms the motor better in cold weather. "Instead of a complicated device, or devices, liable to get out of order the Chalmers system takes advantage of a natural law that never varies."

Waldon, vice-president of the Packard Motor Car Company, and famous for his terrific driving of ex perimental cars in forework on new models, has raplflly traversed all the motor trails to the Pacific coast, and pronounces the Lincoln Highway by all odds the shortest and best way to cross the continent. For those hardier adventurers, who crave the experiences afforded by more rugged country, Waldon has an au thoritative word about the trails of the Southwest. After a careful study of all the routes from Santa Fe to Los Angeles, he recommends the one via Holbrook, Flagstaff, Needles. Barstow and San Bernardino, 1,002 miles in ex tent, as the safest and mosj conveni ent for motorists. An alternative route through the Southwest is by way of Cooley. Phoe nix, Blytho and Mecca, comprising 956 miles. A third lies by way of Sprlnger ville, Cooley, Phoenix, Yuma, K1 Centro nnd San Diego, and is 1,085 --'lies long. The latter was the route covered by Waldon and his companions on their latest return from the coast. The most remarkable scenery is encountered be tween Springervlllo and Phoenix, but the trail through the White Mountains is practically impassable most of the year, while the detour via Snowflake is 1 obstructed by huge boulders. The unusual road performance of Waldon and Ills touring mates on their I last experimental trip included cover ing the 1,000 miles between Albu- J querque and Kansas City in three days' driving. Motorists who know this 1 country will also appreciate the sig nificance of a single day's run on which these hard drivers ate breakfast at Trinidad. Col., lunch at La Junta, din j ner at Syracuse. Kan., and slept at Dodge City. Mitchell Car Will Be Represented in This City I Ream & Son, with offices at 108 Mar ! ket street, have assumed the agency for the Mitchell car in this county, as well as for Lebanon. They have had I the selling rights for the latter county , for some time, and when the opportu ! nity presented itself to add this county Ito the territory they availed them- I selves of the chance. The Mitchell car is made by one of the oldest and most substantial manu facturing concerns in the country. The | local office will be in charge of D. R. Ream. The new Mitchell light six and light four will be featured. Directory of Motor Car Owners in This Vicinity J. Clyde Myton, secretary of the Motor Clubi has compiled a convenient directory containing all the names of motor car owners in Harrisburg and vicinity. The book has 2,500 names. Eleven hundred and fifty of these names are owners of motor cars in Har risburg. This does not represent the total number of cars because some own several automobiles. Tills book will be invaluable to those who have need of a reference guide of this nature. A great deal of labor was necessary to copy these names from among the hun dreds of thousands in the State reg istry book. The directory includes the surrounding towns within fifteen miles, as well as Carlisle and Mechanics burg. INCREASES BODY LENGTH Greater Space in Tonncau of Oldsmo itlle Light Four Further improvements have been made in the light four Oldsmobile and shipments of the new cars are on the way to distributing centers throughout the country. The manufacturers ex plain that these improvements, while few in number, are quite important in that they add materially to the the rid ing qualities and the roominess as well as the outward comeliness of the car. In the main they have to do with the body, increasing to a noticeable extent the space in the tonneau. More leg room is afforded by an addition of three inches to the length of thp body, which, however, is not obtained by any lengthening of the wheel base, but rather by adding slightly to the body in the rear. The radiator has been increased in height, giving more room under the bonnet and a higher and more masslvb appearance to the front end of the car. It was stated by J. V. Hall, sales manager of the Olds Company, that the hew changes In their light four model relate principally to the com fort afforded passengers and the out wUrd apppearance, and do not affect in any way the mechanical features of CADILLAC EIGHT HAS BUT OSI3 CARBURETOR Many people who have inspected the Cadillac Eight have expressed surprise upon seeing but one carburetor for the eight-cylinder motor. The carburetor is set above the cen ter of the engine. One feed pipe leads to it from the gasoline tank; two in take pipes lead from it. one to each . block of four cylinders. As heretofore, j the carburetor is of Cadillac design j and manufacture. It has but one float . chamber, a single sprav nozzle .and is I but a trifle larger, In fact, than the in strument used on the last four-cylin i der Cadillac.

BRENNER Diamond Merchant and Jrnrler No. 1 North Third St. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY IS PREDICTED BY REA "Pennsy" President Issues State ment Commenting on Freight Rate Case By Associated Press Philadelphia, Dee. 19.—President Samuel Ken. of the Pennsylvania Kail road Company in a statement to-day said that he regarded the railroad rate decision handed down by the In terstate Commerce Commission yester day as the beginning of a broad, con structive policy in railroad regulation. The statement says: "I regard this decision as the be ginning of a broad, constructive policy in railroad regulations so imperative ly required. It certainly indicates that the commission has been seriously im pressed by actual railroad and finan cial conditions, and we recognize that the commission has carefully con sidered the entire situation and ren dered what it believes to be a fair and equitable decision. The decision, how ever, grants an increase of only about 50 per cent, of the freight business of our system and is not so far reach ing ns the railroads believe to be nec essary, therefore the railroads, as the commission emphasises must continue their efforts to concerve and augment their revenues from the sources the commission previously recommended. "We desire prosperity but it is im possible for the county to prosper while railroad revenues and credit are inadequate and therefore the Increas ed rates should be generally helpful. Kelying on the protection of public regulation, we will utilize the addi tional revenue in continuing our lines and equipment in good condition to render the best possible public service and in sustaining our credit on a sound basis. | "The federal government should, in ithe same spirit, award the railroads | the admittedly just compensation, so long withheld, for the carriage of mails and parcel post; and the citi zens should see to it that the legisla tures, federal -and State, relieve the railroads from enforced wasteful ex penditures. Under such a helpful policy public regulation rests on a solid foundation, and confidence and prosperity will be greatly encouraged." Insanity Is Claiming Soldiers in Trenches Southampton, Dec. 9—(Correspond ence of the Associated Press). —Insan- I ity and nervous prostration are claim- I ing large numbers of the allies who | have lain for weeks under German fire in the trenches about Ypres. The ln sanity wards in the big government hospital at Netley are filled to over flowing and all the hospitals in the south of England have many patients who suffered absolute nervous col lapse and have been sent back to England for treatment. Soldiers on rare occasions have been found shooting their own hands and I feet, or exposing their arms and hands jto the fire of the enemy, that they may get wounds which will relieve I them from service in the trenches. [This is attributed to shattered nerves lin many cases. Bad teeth are playing ! havoc with the English troops ex ! posed to cold and dampness in the i trenches. Many dentists have been sent to the front to treat defective [teeth which have caused neuralgia and j disabled men otherwise sound. j TIIK GERMAN ARMY'S MOVIES The moving picture has done its part toward achieving the remarable preparedness and efficiency which the German army has developed. In Ger j many, moving pictures are widely used Ito instruct recruits, just as in this country large Industrial concerns are beginning to make use of moving pictures to train their employes in the most efficient methods. The young German recruit receives his ini tial instruction from the movies, learning of such minor duties as mounting guard, making camp, bayo net drill, and acting as vedette. The scenes in the films are acted out by veterans and the example of the ex perienced soldier in thus always avail able in schooling the recruit. Moving pictures are largely used in giving in struction in special branches of the military, service. Thus the correct methods of bridge building, of can structing trenches, of erecting barri cades, of laying mines by special films. Moving picture of the theaters man euvers are also exhibited in theaters throughout the country as a means of popularizing the army.—The Ameri can Boy.
