Internal Gear Drive Wins Favors in London Had any American motor truck : manufacturer prophesied a year ago I that within a few months motor trucks • made in this country would be used for | omnibus work in the streets of Lon : don ho would, undoubtedly, have been ' laughed at in a good many quarters. . To-day he could point to that i prophecy with an "I told you so" air. At least thirty American-made trucks have been placed in omnibus service in ; London by the Great Western Bail road and all are of the internal gear drive type. It is rather a noteworthy fact that these trucks, equipped as they are with gear drive axles, have passed every test prescribed by Scot land Yard for quietness of operation. The code of regulations for motor driven omnibuses in London is the most stringent of any large city in the world, particularly in the matter of noise. Principally as a conseauence of the noise the chain drive for omnibus work in London became obsolete thero (and English designers developed a type of shaft drive to meet this con dition. Designers on the continent, however, favored the Internal gear drive and the fact that American axles of this type now meet with the appro val of the London police Is expected to have a marked effect on omnibus construction in the future. The inter nal gear drive type is a feature of the Republic trucks sold here by the Hud son sales agency. Automobile Notes Lee Olwell, vice-president of the Chalmers Motor Company, is making an extended tour through the south west, where he is conducting dealers' conventions. He reports that particu larly through the agricultural and grazing sections, conditions are favor able for large motor car sales during the summer months. That the motor industry is in the most prosperous stage in its history is indicated by the statement made by J. J. Cole, president of the Cole Motor Car Company, that the month of May broke all sales records of the Cole Company since the inception of the concern. Forty per cent, more cars were shipped during May than in any other month in the company's his tory. A gasoline mileage test in a new Cole eight-cylindei: touring car with the top up, run on the streets of In dianapolis and the roads near the city last week, showed an average of 16.2 miles to each gallon. Every drop of gasoline in the care was drained out before the test was made, including the gas in the carburetor and then two measured gallons placed in the big tank at the rear of the car. When the run was finished and the car stop ped it had traveled 32.4 miles. This! is one of the best averages made, al- | though many of the eight are averag ing 15 and more miles to the gallon. Word has just been received at the Cole factory that a new eight-cylinder car climbed Indian Hill,near Madison ville, Cincinnati, Ohio, on high gear. The car made the climb while being! driven from the factory to Huntingtno, W. Va., by E. V. Carter of the latter city. This is the first time, so far as can be ascertained, that any car has climbed tnis hill on high gear. For fear the facts might be doubted, Mr. Carter has made a sworn statement before a notary vouching for its truth which he mailed to the Cole Company and which is now held by that con cern. AUTOMOBILE NOTES. Six of the new Chalmers 6-40, sell ing at SI4OO have been disposed of this week by the Keystone Motor Car company. The car equipped with overhead camshaft is proving tue popular sell er of the Chalmers line this year. It was built along the lines of European | design said to have been quite gener jally adopted over there before the 'great conflict stopped European pro duction. Mr. Bainer said it insures get-away, power, pep, flexibility, and the ability to stand up under any grind. Sixteen Mitchells of the "Six-of- Sixteen" type were sent by express to New Tork from the factory, and D. R. Ream of Ream % Son, of this city hustled up to the big city to get two of them before other anxious deal j ers could get hold of them. Mr. I Ream was accompanied by Bernard I Aldinger and the two of them drove the new models to Harrisburg. One was a seven-passenger model for Bernard Aldinger and the other a flve-passenger for John Parks. H. F. Mathie, King factory expert was at the King Car Sales company to-day, having come here to install the new type motor in the King models shown by Mr. Keister. The bore on the new motor has been in creased from 2% inches to 2% inches on the new type. A larger carburetor and new rftake of bearings are ad ditional Improvements to the engine. The Willard Storage Battery com pany are now represented here with a service station at 11 North River street. The local station is controlled by the J. G. Duncan, Jr., company, distributors for Willard Batteries, in Philadelphia and this section of the east. Mr. Duncan was here yesterday and will keep in personal touch every week. S. F. Nickerson will be in charge of the local station assisted by P. A. Dunn. Mr. Duncan stated that 85 per cent, of all automobiles are equipped with Willard batteries. E. W. Shank, local distributor for Maxwell cars says that he enjoys the distinction of having sold more Max well cars than the Philadelphia officii did in their territory. That is estao lishing a good record, considering that it is only nine months ago since he assumed the agency. Andrew Redmond, accompanied by Dr. H. B. Walter, John Shook and George Welch, made the trip from Cleveland, 0., to this city in a Chan dler Six. The party left Cleveland on Sunday evening. A good part of the road was of brick and macadam but the big rain storms made wash-outs at various places, making it necessary to do some road repairing with the aid of railroad ties and other avail able material before being able to proceed. No mechanical or tire trouble w-as experienced, however, and Mr. Redmond reports the Chan dler factory turning out 65 to 70 each day and sometimes as high as 115 complete cars in one day. STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF HARRISBIRG TO WEST SHORE. There is only one thing that can be the shortest distance between two points and that is a straight line. The Market street bridge is the only j straight line direct from the business heart of Harrisburg to the converging auto routes on the west shore of the Susquehanna river, and naturally is the shortest way. The shortest distance is often more attractive not only in sav ing time but in the convenience afford ed. The paved driveway of this mod ern bridge offers a quicker, smoothier, i easier and more delightful trip in auto I or carriage over the river. "A Journey j well begun is half run," and the Mar ket street bridge contributes an I auspicious start.—Adv.

HAJUUSBURG TELEGRAPH Mysterious Characters in Greek Royal Tragedy gggpf /' All Greek officials in the United States and abroad have strenuously denied a wild report, published in Paris, that the illness of King Constanttne of Greece was caused by nothing less than an attack by Queen Sophie. The Paris report had it that she. a sister of Kaiser Wilhelm, believed to be strongly friendly to Germany in the war, had stabbed the king because of his leaning toward the allies. The precise nature of the king's illness is a mystery. While it is an nounced operations have been performed on him very little information as to the nature of his malady has been officially given out. The heir apparent to the Greek throne is Prince George, eldest son of Con stanttne. He is twenty-five years old and unmarried. Dispatches last year said he was engaged to Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of King Ferdinand of Rumania, but the war has caused a postponement of the wedding. The prince received his education and military training in Germany. Prince Nicholas, brother of King Constantine, is the best liked member of the reicnln* family.

Sing Sing's "Movies" Preferred to Elmira Special to The Telegraph New York, June 19. —"Oh. please, your Honor, won't you send me to Sing Sing?" begged Ralph Ginsberg, a young burglar, when arraigned before Judge Gibbs In the Bronx county court for sentence to-day. "Why do you want to go to Sing Sing?" asked the judge. "I've heard so much and read so much about Warden Osborne," ex plained Ginsberg. "He's so kind to the prisoners. He lets 'em have moving picture shows and baseball games and all sorts cf fine things. I dont want to go to Emira; they're too strict there." "Well," replied Judge Gibbs, "that's just what you need. You need to bfe treated strictly. You go to Elmira. They'll teach you a trade, and when you come out you'll be a man." CADILLAC EIGHT SETS NEW COAST RECORD Again the Cadillac —this time the eight cylinder type—has set a new record for the run from Los Angeles to San Francisco, according word re ceived by the Cadillac Company from Don Lee, its California distributor. Mr. Lee terms this performance the great est road record ever made anywhere. By road, the distance from Los Angleles to San Francisco Is 492 miles. The Cadillac, being driven at night. The car left Los Angeles at 8 p. m. June 3. simultaneously with "The Lark," the fastest train on the South ern Pacific railroad, which makes its run between the California metropolis in 13 hours'and 45 minutes. The train's time was beaten by 1 hour and 35 minutes, the motor car arriving In San Francisco at 8.10 a .m., June 4. In order to set this new record, it was necessary that the Cadillac main tain speed great enough to average al most 40% miles per hour. The perils of such speed are obvious when it Is known that practically the entire dis tance was made during the darkness of night, over roads that rise and fall in the mountains, skirt precipitous clilts and abound with sharp and dan gerous turns. The car was driven by Baudette and Bramlette, who alter nated at the wheel, and carried two other men as passengers. Almost every year Mr. Lee sets a new record for motor car travel be tween California's chief cities; and this record usually stands until a Cadillac breaks it the following year. The car | which has just made this run is the : first Cadillac eight demonstrator sent to the coast, and had been driven 17,- I 000 miles prior to this drive. It car ried all stock equipment.
