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.
