Union SalesCo.,lnc Second and North Streets Baseball Stars Will Not ' Be Awarded Motor Cars It seems rather certain now that major league baseball players are not going to have opportunity to drive new automobiles this Fall as a result of being judged the most valuable player in the big leagues. Such a trophy has been awarded for the past five seasons, one American and one National leaguer having his name en rolled in Baseball's Hall of Fame each year. The award under which motor cars were awarded expired last Fall. Through the winter the discussion of continuation of the Hall of Fame was carried on, various suggestions being made that the honor roll so estab lished was too popular and too worthy to be allowed to end at the present time. When at the opening of the present season no arrangements were com pleted, representations were made to the Empire Automobile Company that offering two of its 1916 model cars, which were announced at that time as trophies, might be instrumental in continuing the honor roll. The offer was made to President Johnson, of the American League, and President Tener, of the National Leagne. Their replies however were to the effect that the offer could not be accepted. Whether some substitute in the matter of a trophy is to be found or whether the entire competition is to be dropped for this season is a ques tion still to be settled by the com mission. It has been suggested if commercialism is to be takpn out al together that the most valuable play ers again be selected by a committee MILLER mL TIRES Add the "Class" Mark to Your Car STERLING AUTO TIRE CO., 1451 Z.rk« Stwet THE VULCANIZERS 11l Winner of the 500 Mile Race ' Pittsburgh Johnstown Hgrrlsburg New York- _ 1 Indianapolis, Indiana FrOl\t"Market MOtOr Supply Co.

MARKET STREET BRIDGE AUTO ROUTES CONVENIENT TO TOURISTS One of the things that makes the Market street bridge such a popular thoroughfare with motorists is the free distribution of printed routes to all who ask for them. Persons who plan a day's outing taking them across the river and who are not familiar with the proposed trip can get all the neces sary information in the printed routes from toll men at either end of the bridge. These routes cover all west and southbound routes from Harrisburg, including two to York, two to Get tysburg, four to Chambersburg and one -to New Bloomfield with alternate return route. These routes are kept up to date as road conditions vary, the company having changed one route as often as three times in one season.— Advertisement. MARRIED AT HAGERSTOW N* Hagerstown.

Turns Down $7,000,000 Profit on Rifles For War There Is a man in Detroit who slit open a cablegram from London the other day and saw $7,000,000 in ready profit staring him In the face. About all that he had to do to grab it was to seize a pen and write "Yes." But instead of that he wrote "No" and "Old Man Scruples" won a rare vic tory. * The news columns of the dally pa pers have carried many stories, writ ten with much elation and sounding rhetorical cymbals, about the huge war orders that American manufacturers are filling, but only occasionally—very occasionally—has there been an an nouncement of the rejection, of such orders. In two or three Instances "Old Man Scruples" stepped in, and this Is one of the rare occasions when he was numbered among those present. Frederick E. Wadsworth, prominent among the maufacturers of automo bile accessories, stationary engines, motorboats and canoes, is the man who had the hardihood to turn down the profit of $7,000,000 on a war order. Among Mr. Wadsworth's enterprises the Michigan Steel Boat Company and the Detroit Engine Works. In connection with these industries he runs several large machine shops. His London agent knew all about those machine shops and their capacity and resources. As a mater of fact, they are being used now to build 50,000 shelter tents for the British army. So the London agent got busy and the re sult was the cablegram Mr. Wadsworth received. It was an order from the British war office for 500,000 rifles of the Mauser type at $29 jjer rifle. Sufch Implements of war can be bought here for sls and the profit on the deal would mean at least $7,000,000. Twenty per cent, of the total sum was to go with the order and twelve millions of it were guaranteed by Eng lish bankers. Deliveries need not be completed until December and Mr. Wadsworth knew that he could easily turn out the rifles. The barrels of the guns, the only parts difficult for him to handle, he could contract for In the East and also in a city in Michigan. But he cabled "No." Within twenty four hours after his rejection of the order Mr. Wadsworth was in receipt of nearly a hundred letters commending him for the stand he had taken. "Some people have asked me why I am making shelter tents for the Brit ish army If I am unwilling to make their rifles," said Mr. Wadsworth, com menting on his action. "I am per fectly willing to take all the orders I can get for tents, foodstuff, clothing or similar necessities, but somehow I could not accept an order for a com modity that was to be used to kill people in a war in which this country had no interest. I would much prefer to have less of this world's goods than to have with me constantly the thought that my wealth was won in that way. "But don't imagine for a moment I took this action because I am an ex treme pacificist or for any similar rea son. If this country were at war I would gladly make all the guns and ammunition the government might need. Making destructive weapons for another country, however, seems to me to be quite different. I don't fancy the idea of killing people. Perhaps my attitude may seem a little severe, but when it comes to killing I don't like the idea of being a party to the deal, even though a remote party. Even in our resrular business we take extreme precautions. When a lad writes to us that he wants to buy a canoe, we ascertain his ag« and whether or not he can swim. We confer with his parents, if possible, before we sell him. As for making rifles for a foreign coun try—l decline. I don't set myself up as a pattern for any man. I simply don't car® to make money that way." Business Good and Cash Plenty, Says Reo Official "Business Is wonderful and collec tions are more so," says Donald E. Bates, secretary and treasurer of the Reo Motor Car Company. "Never have we known a time when drafts were taken up so promptly as during the past few months. "Fortunately for all concerned, the automobile business is a strictly cash business. Such a thing as credit is unknown either between factory and dealer or dealer and customer. So to speak of collections being good seems like a contradiction. All automobiles are shipped from factory to dealer "sight draft attached to bill of lad ing," however, and when one consid ers that the minimum amount in volved Is about $4,000 (a carload be ing the minimum shipment) while a trainload which Is a common thing n°«'a da .Vß aggregates from $120,000 to $150,000, and the average is nearly $20,000, it will be seen that the average dealer is confronted with a real financing problem when his cars arrive. In fact, in normal times, there are always a few straggling cases where dealers leave the cars on siding for a few days or even weeks. 'On April 30 .the Reo Motor Car Company had outstanding in drafts for cars in transit a total of only $4 50,000. That is about four days' output of the factory. "And more remarkable, not a draft out was dated earlier than April 7 on cars enroute to Pacific Coast, Flor ida and other distant points. "When it is considered that the average freight time is more than a week and that the aggregate of all drafts out was only four days' busi ness. It will be seen that this is a re markable —In fact an unprecedented condition. "It shows that not only is buying free hut that the cash is ready to pay for the cars. For, when a*deaier takes up a carload or ten carloads or a trainload of Reos on the day it ar rives, paying the draft at the same time as he must. It proves not mereiy that he has a ready demand, but that the cars have actually been sold be fore arrival and that the buyers are there waiting for them." HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH PROTECTIVE TARIFF UNO THE MOTOR CiR Henry B. Joy, President of Pack ard Co., Tells How It Fostered Great Industry A student of the trend of the motor car art has seen a wonderful evolu tion In the past twenty years. The automobile has been as epoch making in the world's history as has any other single step of man's in genious progress. My father, who died In 1896, never saw a motor car. To-day horses are practically relegated to the "Zoo." To-day we talk from New York to San Francisco. To-day man makes his way by. motor car from coast to coast In fifteen days over the rapidly improving Lincoln Way attracting particular attention. * * The progressive evolution of me chanical, chemical, electrical science is placing in the possession of the peo ple of the earth daily more develop ment than occurred in each thousand years prior to the last c#ntury. The motor car reached the stage of practical use first In Europe. Practi cally Mr. Levassor, of Paris, France, devised the transmission system which, as far as its general scheme is con cerned, is unaltered to-day, says the Encyclopedia. But Inventions breed new inven tions. The spark which ignited Mr. Levassor's inventive brain was the sight of Gottlieb Daimler's crude In ternal combustion engines propelling boats on the river Seine In connection with the Paris Exposition in 1887, says the same authority. Actually Mr. Levassor and his col laborators had set the world on Are with zeal to further develop his con ceptions of the ultimate in individual transportation. ■.•JL ays . the Bame English authority (Encyclopedia Brittanlca): "The introduction of the Dinglev tariff, assessing an import duty of 45 per cent, ad valorem on motor cars (In the classification of 'manufactur ers of metal') added to a further charge of about 6 per cent, for freight encouraged American capitalists to embark in the manufacture of motor cars, and in 189 9 thirty manufacturers produced 600 cars.

Eckert reported, on checking in, that the car is showing Lnon y nf V ° f forty milea ,f > th e gallon of gasoline and seventy-flve miles to the pint of oil. If the pres ent average continues this thirty-day car will establish an economy record never equaled in any other test of similar length and severity. The gasoline cost for the 3,450 miles cov ered to date has been $9.46 and the expense for oil has been $3.45, a total ° r , an avera ge of less than two-fifths of a cent per mile for operation cost. The 30-day machine is holding up over the rough roads and no mechan f troubles have been experienced. A solid week of heavy rains turned the primitive roads into veritable quagmires, but the car showed its power in every emergency and pulled through without difficulty. The motor carries an accumulation of oil and dust that has not been disturbed since the run started and bears wit ness to the fact that nothing has been done to the engine. The Saxon that is making this run has attracted unusual interest in and around Detroit, the automobile cen ter. It is going over many roads and up many hills every day that provide a hard test for automobiles. In fact, some of the roads covered are but rarely used by motorists. They are nothing more than wagon tracks through deep sand and long stretches at a time, and therefore automobiles are accustomed to making detours and taking the long way round in each instance, rather than go through these stretches. Each day's run starts and ends in Detroit. The oar operates over two circuits, alternating between them. The courses as laid for the 150-mile a-day machine lead over the worst roads in half a dozen Michigan coun ties within a radius of forty miles of Detroit. Chalmers Company Hauls Employes During Strike When the city, of Detroit woke up | to find out that the street car em-1 ployes had gone on a strike at 6 o'clock In the morning and that not a wheel was moving on any part of the 1 city lines there was a mad scramble to employ every means of transporta tion available. The large automobile factories which are all on the outskirts of the city, ware particularly affected, inas much as some of their employes had to come as far as eight and ten miles. The Chalmers Motor Company, with its 4,000 employes was particularly anxious to lose no time because of the big rush of Spring business. Ac cordingly, every available car in the plant was pressed into service and by 9 o'clock over 95 per cent. Of the employes were .in their accustomed places. • At 5 o'clock when the problem of returning these people to their homes was td be faced a complete system of transporatlon had been arranged. Over 100 touring cars were pressed into service; others were stripped of the bodies and wooden platforms built on the chassis, with seats accommo dating from twelve to twenty people. The large trucks used in hauling ma terial were made Into carryalls. Defi nite routes and schedules were laid out alt over the -city, cars running north, east and west. Each car was marked with its destination and dis patchers were stationed at all term inals a-nd diverging points to direct the traffic and reroute any cars as the exigencies of the service might demand. Chalmers employes were furnished with badges which entitled them to transportation and enabled them to stop the cars the same way as they would signal a street car. Friday morning every employe was at his sta tion when the starting bell rang.
