Cole Demonstrates Power as a Hill Climber i In line with the Cole performance of (having taken the South Mountain be low New Cumberland on high gear. Harry L. Myers has received additional evidence from other sections of the country regarding the Cole's hill climbing ability. H. C. Lathrop, president of the Cole Sales Company of Indiana, has ;Just returned to Indianapolis in his Cole Eight demonstrator. The speed ometer registered a little bit better than one thousand miles. This was Mr. Lathrop's initial tour in the new Cole and the impression he gained of Just what the car will actually do serves to confirm what others, includ ing Chief Engineer Crawford, have given as their own experience. "It seems," says Lathrop. "that this car for some reason or other is not affected by any of the usual road dif ficulties. Time after time we went Into towns where there was the usual so-called "Impossible" hill, which the residents of that town said very few cars ever had taken "on high," and In some instances—none. We usually managed to fill the car up with inter ested people—the Eight excites inter est wherever It goes-—and then our next stunt was to walk up the tough hill on high, usually accelerating all the way. and setting the town agog. "We encountered no hill, either In Indiana or Ohio, that we did not take onMiigh. With five full grown passen gers. full load of gasoline, extra tire, ■water and oil we topped the most dif ficult hill in Ohio. We started at the ■bottom with the speedometer showing fifteen miles an hour, and she showed twenty-seven at the top. demonstrat ing the car's wonderful power and ac celerating ability. This single hill climb resulted in two sales—both pur chasers being passengers In the car at the time the demonstration was ■made." L. M. McGee. of Shelbyvllle. has just returned from Brown county, In diana, where he has been touring with four passengers in his new Cole Eight demonstrator. He reports that there ■was not a single hill encountered on any of the Brown county roads which the Cole did not take on high. "Facts don't blow out."

Com plications followed and his death oc curred about 2 o'clock this morning. Mr. Houck was one of the first men in the State to suggest Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh for Governor and was one of his strongest supporters both before and since election. He is survived by his wife and four daughters, Eleanor J.. Margaret V.. Josephine and Emily S. A brother. Paul, of Schuylkill coun ty. and his father were at his bedside when death came. Expressions of regret were heard on all sides to-dav.
