"Since the tirst of the year we have shipped more than 2.500 of the new typo »39.-> Saxon roadsters, and orders are coming in faster all the time. Sales since March 1 indicate that this will be by far our biggest month. Our new model two-passenger car with larger body of genuine streamline type is en joying popularity everywhere. In spite ■>f greatly increased factory facilities in our plant, we are being kept busy every day in the week In our efforts to keep abreast of orders. The factory A iS working full capacity all the time. "A condition such as this is a mighty •good indication that the day of false pride over motor cars is past. They are no longer bought on a price tag basis, but are judged rather by the service they render in relation to price. People no longer hesitate to buy low priced cars providing these cars can give the desired service. "Another interesting tendency to be "It's Uncanny" •I On several occasions this exclamation has been made by passengers riding in the Eight Cylinder Cadillac. <2 It is unthinkable to imagine anyone having that "creepy feeling" which would bring to mind an expression of this kind, while riding in a noisy, vibrating car. <1 To produce involuntarily the impression of something Supernatural, there cannot be any sound, there must be motion without the slightest tremor or feeling of ma chinery. <1 Ride in the Eight Cylinder Cadillac and experience this new sensation of silent, gliding motion—only approached by the gliding of a boat through the water after the oars or power plant have ceased work.

We are selling four t-axon roadsters thus equipped to every one without starter, it is evident that people want every comfort and convenience, in cars of ; | low price as well as in the higher priced machines. "The one thing that used to keep so i many people from buying automobiles was the fact that they were too high in first cost, too heavy in weight, and i therefore too expensive to maintain. The coming of the dependable low-pric -1 ed car, light in weight, stylish in ap pearance and economical in upkeep has i changed all this. It has removed the i ownership of motor cars from a privi ■ lege of the wealthy to a pleasure for > men and women of moderate means. And it has come to be the greatest of all modern machines in business as savers of time and money for salesmen and others who have to be outdoors. "In my opinion this well bo a year of economy in automobile buying. By that I mean that men nnd women are going to select, as never before, the cars which offer the biggest values for the money.

BLUNDER HERE CAUSES TROUBLE AT READING Volunteers Had Everything Ready For Tabernacle Raising, but Only Seats Arrive BIG FEED IS CALLED OFF "Dad" Schaeffer, Boss Carpenter, Way Up in the Air; Is Now Headed This Way Special to The Telegraph Heading, March 27.—There was no tabernacle raising yesterday by the volunteers from the 30 churches en gaged in pushing the Stougli revival campaign. Ukewlse there will be no dinner in the Covenant Methodist episcopal Church for these same vol unteer workers. It is all because some body blundered, and the lumber for the tabernacle didn't roach Heading. The blunder took place at Harris burg. Nobody knows in Reading nt this writing just whose fault it was, whether the shippers' of the lumber or the railroad's, or whose. But suf fice it to say that instead of a carload of roof timbers, and other such fixings, along comes a carload of seats this morning. Then "Dad" Schaeffer, who has charge of the tabernacle building, got up in tho air and called oft building operations. Were Anxiously Waiting "Dad" Schaeffer had been watching anxiously nil day yesterday for several carloads of lumber that he said were on the road. He had been chasing back and forth to the railroad offices and doing his utmost to get track of the cars. Tracers had been sent out after them, the railroad said, but it seems the tracers never caught up with them, or else passed 'em on the road, for the the lumber didn't get here. And then this morning a car of lumber came in sight, and Schaeffer was happy for a few minutes. Big Time Promised. When ho found it was seats he got peeved. He said a few things about careless blunders and other fellows who had something to do with the shipping, and then he started post haste for Harrisburg. On his way to the station he stopped long enough to call up Mrs. James B. Baker, chairman of the women's work committee, and told her to call off the big "eats." So there will be no dinner for hard working men at Covenant Methodist Episcopal Church to-mor row, as was expected, and the cooks can stay heme and do their weekly house cleaning. But the festivities are not called off altogether. Only postponed. Mr. Schaeffer said that if he can get the cars into the yard here before Satur day morning, there will be a big time Saturday, and so the women folks are getting ready for it. Big Battle Pending, Says Hupmobile Export Manager "The allies and the Germans are pre paring for the greatest struggle In the history of this great war. Officials of authority state that the conflict will probably take place about the middle of April," writes John I* Poole, Hup mobile European export manager, to the Hupp Motor Car Company from Paris. Mr. Poole left for Europe in the In terests of the Hupp Motor Car Com pany, some time last October, and has been in Paris ever since tfiat time. "Conditions of the war," continues Mr. Poole, "on the western front have remained almost stationary on both sides of the firing line for the past throe months, and, no doubt, will be so until about April 15, when this big conflict begins. "Both sides are making every pos sible move in anticipation of this enor mous struggle. All past engagements will, no doubt, look like ordinary skirmishes when compared with this future big battle. "The French, English and Belgians are known to be preparing for this tight to a finish with a -lagnitude never heard of. England will have 3.000.000 men on the firing line by May 1. The French army will have by this time over ::.oflo.ooo men on the firing line and 1.300.000 in reserve. These figures are as accurate as it Is posible for any one to obtain. While not permitting them to lie published in the press over here, at the same time these facts are well known among officers and of ficials. "It is reported that in a few days we will see a decided change in the position of the French army located on the right bank of the Kiver Aisne, fac ing Soissons, in the position where the big stone quarries are located. The rea son for this, as rumor h as it. is on ac count of the fact that the Germans are holding over 2,000 French women and children in the caves and under ground passages as hostages. "This is a very advantageous posi tion that the Germans are holding, and , tliev have threatened to kill all the j women and children if these under . ground passages and caves are blown i up. I "Quite naturally, the French soldiers do not wish to fire on people of thei? own rare. Therefore, the French troops are to be replaced by the British, for it is absolutely imperative that these underground caves be captured imme diately. "All Paris is indignant over the ac tions of the Germans on this matter. The French people, however, recognize that, while this is very deplorable and » terrible thing to contemplate, never theless these hostages will have to be sacrificed. ; "Just the other dav.

Williams, advertis ing: manager of the Studebaker Cor poration. It took the faithful and per severing efforts of two New \ork gainters, Grant Wright and Harry F. yrnes, a whole month to depict on canvas the spirit of Industry that la personified in the Studebaker factories. One can form an idea of the quality of detail that exists in the picture when one realizes that something over 15,- 000 windows show in the scene. To aid the lighting arrangement it was necessary to opaque the back of the picture, carefully avoiding the outlines of each window, so that the lights might shine through undimmed. The lighting arrangements are as novel as the picture is a faithful bird's eye view of the twelve factories com prising the plants at Detroit and South Uend. A wonderful illusion is gained by means of a specially-constructed machine called a flasher-dimmer, a de velopment of the machine that pro duces the best stage lighting effects. In two minutes the spectator at the exhibit sees the plant as it is everv hour of the twenty-four—and all by means of the lighting arrangements. First the plant is seen at dawn. The gray light turns to the yellowish-white glare of the sunlight and the factories appear in great activity. The sunlight moderates ns afternoon comes, taking a warmer crimson tone and as the sun sets the factories flash on their arti ficial lights. Soon through IS,OOO win dows the lights shine out on th« late afternoon, and occasionally the "blow off" of the blast furnaces throw a red glare over the surrounding buildings. The whistles blow, however, conclud ing the day's work at the plant, and soon all lights are out. leaving the scene In a blue darkness through which there twinkles here and there the lan terns of the watchmen. A whole day's activity Is over at the Studebaker plant —but It takes only two minutes in the eyes of the visitor who watches the illusions made by the lighting of the picture in the Studebaker exhibit. The same spirit of American enter prise that in responsible for the gerat Studebaker factories is apparent In the hughe reproduction that should call for no :<mall amount of admiration from visitors at the exposition. BIG MKKT AT OKLAHOMA Many motorcyclists of note will help to make the two-wheeler events in connection with the celebration of the twenty-sixth anniversary of the open ing of Okinhoma, the biggest affair of the kind ever held in the Southwest.

Water Departments in West Use Motorcycles "Pure water and frcsli air usually are taken for frranted and many peo ple do not realize that in some cities the maintenance of a pure -water sup ply is quite a problem." said R. W. HeaKVi of Heagy Brothers, local Har ley-Davidson dealers. "The motor cycle is being used to great advantage in many water propects, especially in the West. Colorado Springs, for ex ample, has ten storage reservoirs high in the mountains. It is Incumbent upon the superintendent of the water Department to see that the reservoirs are kpt constantly In good ci ndition and free from contamination of any sort. The inspector uses a Harley- Davldson in patrolling the reservoirs, having a 'beat' more than twenty-five miles long. There are many stiff grades to be climbed in reaching the various water sheds but the motorcycle is equal to the rigorous demands made upon It in daily service." MILKMAX USES TWO-WIIEKI.KR C. A.
