RIVERSIDE GARAGE RKCI.Ii PHONE 3T3JR L KEAM 14t7 NORTH FRONT ST. GEORGE It. HENTI-EY, Proprietor SATURDAY EVENING, ENORMOUS RACING PROJECT PLANNED Maxwell Motor Company to Place Seven Racing Cars in Greatest Events - • » For several years past, the auto mobile races on various tracks throughout this country and abroi-d have attracted universal attention and interest. Racers have won and lost. Drivers have made names for them selves or have been forgotten. The speed mania has seized the American public and to-day the car with the speed and the ability to win holds the public favor. The season of 1914 has been an unusual one. Cars hitherto unknown in the racing Held have become fa mous. Among these, undoubtedly, the most talked of is the Maxwell. Mak ing a sensational tinish in the ninth place among a Held of thirty American and foreign cars at Indianapolis, the Maxwell shared honors with the win ner of the race. It was the case of the green racing car against the most experienced and most successful racers in the automobile world. Later on at Tacoma, Washington, a Max well racer won the Potlatch Trophy for 200 miles. Hill climb records have ben broken and endurance tests won by ordinary stock Maxwell "25'5." Old field in a Maxwell racer at Corona, broke the world's nonstop-record cov ering over three hundred miles with out a single stop and winning second jiiace in the race. Again at Point Loma, San Diego, California, "15illy" 1 Carlson in another Maxwell racer, won second place and breaking Old field's record by traveling threo hun dred and Ave miles without a stop over one of tho most difficult race courses In the United States. And now at the beginning of an other season, with these triumphs to spur them on, tho Maxwell Motor Company has decided to enter the racing arena as no company has en tered it before. With the determined and experi enced Kay Harroun as the moving spirit in the enterprise, the Maxwell Company will manufacture seven rac ing cars for the coming season. Har roun, with his intimate knowledge of racers and his constructive ability, will superintendent the construction of the cars, and will be permanently connected with the Maxwell company. In the capacity of chief engineer. This fact alone foretells success for the produt of his genius. These racing cars, at present under construction at the factory of the Max well Motor Company, will be entered in most of the speedway events of the 1915 season. The different cars will be constructed for different classes so that their itinerary will include al most every race scheduled between the coasts. One or two drivers have already been selected to pilot the new Maxwell racers. It is also known that negotiations arc now being carried on by the Maxwell company with some of tho world's most famous drivers and there is every reason to believe that the coming season will seo some of these pilots at the wheels of the Maxwell racers. The undertaking is tho greatest ever attempted in automobile history. No other company has ever entered the racing game with such determination and with so many experienced men to make the plan successful. Definite plans have been formed by the Maxwell company and the work of constructing tho racers is well un der way, but as yet those in authority are very reticent as to details. How ever, every assurance is given that the season of 1915 will see the racing de partment of the Maxwell Motor Com pany very much in evidence in all speedway events and the racing world will watch with interest the results of this tremendous undertaking. Sidney D. Waldon Joins the Cadillac Forces Sidney D.

Physician Supplies HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Saxon Company Busy Filling Spring Orders Signs of activity aro to be seen these days in the automobile factories of Detroit where all efforts are being made to fill orders that have poured in for Spring delivery of cars. Among the manufacturers that aro running full force Is the Saxon Motor Company. Orders taken for Saxon cars at the automobile shows were unprecedented, all of them specifying earliest possible delivery. The Saxon company has just taken over a new plant that gives live times the space and manufacturing facili ties of the factory formerly occupied. The plant is being pushed to capacity to keep up with orders. Announcement is made that the out put of the new two-passenger models will be doubled for this year. Plans call for a total production of 25.000 cars in the roadster and Saxon "Six" models. The factory schedule is be ing maintained with this number of cars in view. "The outlook for low-priced, low upkeep-cost cars that possess style and dependability is brighter this year than ever before," says Lawrence Moore, sales director of the Saxon company. "People are looking for style in the cars they buy. Anything that has style, whether it be a motor car or a hat, always gives pride to the one who owns it. So because of outward appearance people demand cars that are lip-to-date in looks and i apointments. Because of the natural instinct against extravagance, every man wants to save money if he can In his motor car purchase. And be cause of the personal satisfaction that is sought, the dependability of a mo tor car in performance Is always a factor." Hupmobile Chosen For Duty at the Exposition When the officials of the Panama- Pacific Exposition decided to lake photographs of the different buildings, it was agreed to show a motor car in some of the illustrations as typical of California progress. The exposition authorities had a hard time to select the most popular car on the coast. After weeks of patient In vestigation. wherein all the leading makes of motor cars were thoroughly Investigated, their standing and popu larity looked into, what the owners thought, etc., it was finally announced that the Hupmobile, the most typical "Car of the American Family" on the coast, should be used as the representa tive motor in these pictures. Accordingly, A. B. Barkman, western sales manager for the Hupmobile at San Francisco, was summoned one morning to appear in the exposition grounds with a 1915 Hupmobile. A large number of pictures were taken of the Hupmobile and distributed throughout the country The Hupmobile enjoys great popu larity all along the Pacific slope. This is due, primarily, to the wonderful suc cess the Hupmobile has achieved through Its hill-climbing ability and as a car of great pulling power over all sorts of road conditions. The Hup was the only motor car al lowed inside the exposition grounds. When the first batch of nictures were distributed throughout the country, the Hupmobile appeared in all of them. Some of the illustrations show the grandeur of the architecture ahd give an idea of the beauty expositions visi tors will witness at San Francisco this summer. Paige Factory Is Now on Twenty-four Hour Schedule Twenty-four hours Is all the Paige- Detroit Motor Car Company can squeeze out of a working day, but the big fac tory where the Paige "Slx-46" and Glenwood "36" are made Is taking ad vantage of every second of the twenty - four to meet the demand for Its 1915 models. Any time Is a good time to report cheerful news. but. for obvious rea sons, no time is better than now to be the messenger of commercial good cheer. It is therefore especially pleas ing to report that so great is the suc cess of the Paige Company, so insist ent the demand for the new "Six" and the popular Olenwood "Four," that the inauguration of a full twenty-four hour schedule of three eight-hour shifts was recently found necessary in order to abreast of the orders. The New Paige "Six" was an in,medi ate success, but as soon as the auto mobile shows started the orders for cars became so heavy, the immediate sales from the floor of the shows so large, that the factory would have been swamped had not heroic meas ures been taken. The Paige Company sold more than one million dollars' worth of cars at the New York and Chicago shows alone, which is believed to be a record, and the enthusiasm and practical results at the other shows throughout the country continues so great that the twenty-four-hour day will probably be maintained at the fac tory for some time to come. Fishburn Explains the Empire Car's Advantages H. A. Fishburn, of the Penbrook garage, distributor here for the Em pire car, in an interview yesterday de scribed some of the good points of the Empire Model "81," the "Little Aristo crat." as follows: "The new series Model '3l' Empire touring ear is a big earj even larger than the original Empire. It is a full fledged five-passenger touring ear with the luxury, eomfort and convenience of the big cars but it lias the distinctive Empire essentials light weight, sim plicity of control and operation, re markable fuel and tire economy, ab solute safety and phenomenal service. "Tho first series Model '3l' Empire was an instant success and it estab lished a remarkable performance rec ord. Among its accomplishments was its sensational run from Indianapolis to the Pacific coast In company with 18 cars, every one larger, heavier, and more expensive. It was admitted by all contestant that the Empire's perform ance was the sensation of the tour. It conquered the tremendous summits of the Rockies and crossed deserts through which no tour had ventured be fore; the first and only car of Its class to go to the Pacific via the newly char ted Midland Trail. "In the new series Model '3l' is pre sented a larger, more beautiful ear with every luxury and equipment and with a score or more of refinements and im provements. In spite of all of this tho price has been cut SSO. This season's Empire sells completely equipped for 1900. SETS A NEW ECONOMY RECORD A. T. Fenton, of the Chicago Ath letic Association, recently finished a remarkable- performance In his Bulck car, which is being widely talked of. From Atigust 14 to December 31 Mr. Fenton put his car through 2,500 miles of city anil country driving with tho following expense account: Gaso line, 132 gallons, $19.80; lubricating oil, $1.10; i. total of $20.90. This was an average of nineteen miles to the gallon and a cost of .83 cents per mile. "One day last Fall," said Mr. Fen ton, "I made up my mind to give the car a special trip and arranged my course out to Rockford, 111., and re turn, this covering a distance of ap proximately 233 miles, averaging ex actly 23 1-3 miles to the gallon of gasoline and covering the entire trip in a little hotter than ten hours, an average of about twenty-three miles per hour. At times, however, L hit the road at better than fifty miles per hour, and yet there was plenty left in the car, and I fully believe had I the nerve to open it up it would do better than sixty. I had often heard about 'Valve In the head' motor cars and the power behind this style of engine, and I am now fully convinced what there is to it. I am not. however, a speed ster, hilt we merely got the car for comfort and good, sane driving. I have enjoyed every minute in the country, and never for a minute have I ben laid up for repairs or has it been necessary for me to null Into a [repair shop." , . • : ~ " ' " • . ; ;J .. I : The Life Experiences of a Family of Traction Experts Are Embodied in The MORTON TRUCK •I When you buy a Morton Truck you buy something more than a mere motor propelled vehicle of the ordinary type. Back of the finest materials that can be put into a modern motor vehicle, are the years of study and experience of an entire family of traction experts who have devoted their life to producing trac-» tion and motor-propelled machinery. As designers and experimental experts for several of the largest machinery corporations in the world, father and sons have invented and perfected self-pro pelled machinery that are famous in every country on the globe. Consequently, when they market a truck under their own name, backed by ample local capital and experienced machinery manufacturers, you are assured of a product that is equal to the best in its price class. <1 When your transportation problems demand something more rapid, powerful and economical than old "Dobbin," but just as faithful and trustworthy in its performance, the following specifications of high-grade mechanical merit com bined with the "Morton" experience should be ample assurance that you make no mistake in choosing a Morton motor vehicle.

BELL PHONE 4 Horsepower as Delivered by Test of Haynes Six "According to the results of the just completed at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the Haynes Light Six actually delivers 41.25 horse power at the rear wheels," states C. K. Holn, of Roberts & Hoin, distribu ters in this territory for the Haynes, 'America's first car. "Such power at the rear wheels is remarkable. A stock car was used and operated un der the same conditions as eitcount ered in actual road driving. An un usual characteristic that the test brought out is the fact that there is no drop In the horsepower delivered until a car speed of sixty miles per hour is attained. This power that is delivered to the point where actually used in propelling the car is 136 per cent, of the S. A. E. rating of 29.4 horsepower. The motor Is 3Vi by 5 inches with the six cylinders cast en bloc. v"The fact that such a great amount of power may be obtained at the rear wheels, with a motor of this size, is still more significant when it is con sidered that the car had been run but 600 miles before the was made. "Losses between the motor and rear wheels are approximately 3 per cent, in the universal joints and 4 to 7 per cent, in the drive gears. The greatest loss is in the tires. This loss amounts to about IB per cent, depending upon the make of tire and its inflation. "The efficiency of an automobile is the ratio of the power delivered at the rear wheels to the power actually developed by the motor. Consider able power Is always lost In transmit ting the power from the engine to the point of usage. If the motor devel oped 100 horsepower and but BO horsepower was available at the rear wheels, the efficiency would be but 60 per cent. Automobile effectiveness is determined by the weight and the power delivered at the rear wheels." FEBRUARY 20, 1915.
