NEW CHALMERS CABS ARRIVED YESTERDAY The Complete Line of the Models With Improvements at Reduced Prices Is Being Shown Direct from the factory In time for inspection when the announcement is being made, the new Chalmers Six-40 at J1275 arrived at the Keystone Motor Car company's salesroom yes terday. Other models were included making a complete exhibit of the Chalmers models, including the Six-40, the Six-48 and the Master Six. Great interest centers in the new Six-40 with valve-in-hcad overhead camshaft motor, the type that Chalmers en gineers report as having been quite generally adopted in Europe before the war stopped production, and said to be the only stock car of this type of American make. This type of motor broke the speed records at the In dianapolis and Chicago speedway races, going at the terriflc speed of 90 and 98 miles an hour. Instant get away, wonderful flexibility, great pow er and economy are claimed for this car. It will be two years in September since Hugh Chalmers first conceived the ".New Six-40." One day he wrote a few words upon a slip of paper say ing that & new car to sell for less than SISOO was to be the next Chalmers creation. He then gave instructions to send C. C. Hlnkley, chief engineer, to Europe to study foreign design. While in Europe Hinkley vindicated his own belief that the coming car was to have a new motor principle. He found every European manufacturer at work on a car with valve-in-head motor and overhead camshaft. This type he saw tried out on foreign racers. All plans were being laid to incorporate the principle in the con tinental road cars when the war block ed all European production. It was thus left to the Chalmers company to perfect the plans and introduce this new motor to the world. In a recent acceleration test this new Chalmers car leaped from five to thirty miles an hour in fifteen seconds. Its fuel consumption is amazlngly light. From "a technical standpoint it has been pronounced as ne.or perfect as man can design from his present knowledge. Charles Barner at the Keystone •Motor Car Company reports excep tional interest in this new Six-40, and says that the new factory organization increased facilities, additional build ings, more men, more capital and quadruple production has made the extraordinary values In the new series possible. A new service feature in cludes an interchangeable service coupon book that Is good for a definite amount of work at any Chal mers dealer, no matter what section of the country the owner may be touring. Tourists Find Improvement in Road Conditions With the interest of the American motorist centered in America at least for this summer—the problem of road conditions In the United States be comes all important, both to the motor car industry and to the motor car owner. The tourist Is being advised from all sides to "See America First" and thanks to the great war, he'll see Am erica this summer—or little else. But if he Is going to see America, it is Quite likely he would be glad to get a report on the condition of the roads he Is about to travel. First hand information is coming to light from numerous motorists who have already taken to the road and it is pleasing to note that the reports are generally favorable and denote a de cided improvement in the condition of our main highways. Among those to comment on the advance that has been made recently in this cpuntry in road building is | Miss Joan Sawyer the distinguished I dancer, who is touring across the con- I tinent from New York to San Fran j Cisco. Miss Sawyer has two Paige | cars for herself and her party, both I seven-passenger Sixes, Model "Six-46", and, being an ardent motorist, she is personally doing most of the driving. I As she is also an experienced tourist j and sportswoman she is in a position j to make intelligent comment. | It is Miss Sawyer's opinion, based on I her experience covering "that section of the route of her present transcon- I tlnental tour from New York to Chi- I cago, that at least the main traveled ] roads are vastly improved over what j thoy were a short time ago. She also ' declares that there Is a noticeable | interest in and enthusiasm for good I roads in all the states she has passed through. The good roads movement is something more than sporadic ef forts, annual road bees, or tours de force like the Lincoln Highway effort —it is now a part of the spirit and life of every community. With the exception of a few in slgnific-ent stretches. Miss- Sawyer made the trip from New York to Chi cago, via Philadelphia, Washington and Pittsburgh, in comfort and with j <*ood speed. One of the features of i Michigan travel that delighted her | were the excellent concrete high-ways of Wayne county which lead Into Detroit and which make touring from the county line in like driving over an asphalt pavement in good repair. While Miss Sawyer admits that cross-country touring for women is greatly advanced and made far more comfortable and safe by such cars as the Paige, with its flexibility, ease of riding and simplicity of control, yet the advance of the good road move ment is giving a great boom to the country-wide touring for women. Give the women a good safe car, easy to handle, and good highways and the women drivers will multiply enorm ously, she says, and she believes, also, that she has discovered already in her tour the car and ample evidence that good roads are rapidly increasing.

FRAXKLIN SHOWS ECONOMY Six owaiers of Franklin cars In Brooklyn, prompted by the high mile age per gallon of gasoline made in the National demonstration of Franklin ears last May. figured in a trial run of the fimf kind a few days ago. follow ing the same rules and regulations that governed the test by Franklin dealers. Each car was fitted up so that the supply of gasoline was limited to one fallon, the object being to see what Istance could-be driven until the fuel gave out. Beside the great personal rivalry between the drivers as to whom the honors would go, each one strove to beat the national average of 32 - miles per gallon established May 1, seeing in their records equally con clusive evidence of the high efficiency of their own car. F. F. Koehler went the greatest dis tance on the single gallon, 39.2 miles. The other records were 33.5, 33.2, 33, 29 and 27.3. The average mileage reached 32.5, exceeding by .4 of a mile the record of the Efficiency Test Three of the participants were new Franklin owners who had driven their cars less than 1200 miles. F. H. Evans who secured the second highest record is a veteran automobile owner, being 76 years of age. OAKLAI AGENCY NOW IN HARRISBURG J. D. Ferry Has New Foar-Cylinder Model; Little Six and Eight- Cylinder to Come The Oakland four-cylinder touring car is now being demonstrated In Har risburg. J. D. Ferry of 367 South Cameron street has assumed the agency, and with J. Robert Barr, his salesman, drove the new car home last week from Detroit. The trip covered a distance of 675 miles and was made without adjust ments of any kind In thirty-five hours of actual running time. This included the run In second gear through candy roads of Ohio and during the rain storms that made the roads muddy. An average of eighteen and one-half miles was made to the gallon of gaso line. The Oakland line this year Includes the four-c.vllnder five-passenger tour ing and roadster and a little six to sell at |795, also an eight-cylin<%er model of ninety horsepower equipped with Holbrook body. The Oakland cars are made by one of the oldest established motor car manufacturers and for years their models have been seen on every high way of any Importance in the world. Mister Squeegee's Quaint Remarks Stirs Curiosity Mr. Squeegee, the quaint figure used in Diamond Tire advertising this year, has In addition to attracting wide spread attention, aroused the curiosity of many people. The Diamond Tire Company has during the past few months been receiving letters from Information-seekers, who desire to learn more about Mr. Squeegee—or "Mister" Squeegee, as he signs him self —than is revealed in the advertis ing. Some of these letters are amusing. One, for instance, from a lady who lives in Oklahoma Indicates that Dia mond advertising Is Interesting not only to men who buy tires, but to women, as well. "I wish." the Oklahoma lady writes, "you would tell me something about Mister Squeegee. Is he a real person? I used to know a man In West Virginia who looked just like Mister Squeegee, and he was a person who was always saying auch wise things, too. His name was Higsbee, and I thought he might be writing for you under a nom de plume. "We always look for the wise saying of Mister Squeegee at the top of the advertisement, although we do not own an automobile and have no special reason to be interested in tires—yet. But I hope we shall be able to have one some day. and I am sure that when we do we will want Diamond Tires on it, on Mister Squeegee's ac count, if for no other reason. But I think you will be glad to hear that some friends of ours who have a car use Diamond Squeegee Tires on it and say they wouldn't think of putting on any other kind, because they say the Diamonds last so long and are so good in every way. "If Mister Squeegee Is the Mr. Higs bee that I used to know in West Vir ginia will you please let me know? I was a little girl when we moved away, and I have often wondered what ever became of him, as he left that part of the country about a year before we did. He always carried aji um brella, too." The Diamond people say that the origin of Mister Squeegee is a secret, but they do not mind saying for the benefit of the Oklahoma ladv that he probably is not her old friend from West Virginia. MULTIPLE CYLINDERS Last year witnessed great things in the automobile business. Not only has It been the biggest year of all from the standpoint of sales, but it has been a period ln which radical steps have been made ln mechanical design. First | the eight-cylinder car was introduced. Now several manufacturers are an nouncing twelve-cylinder cars, and al ready people are asking, "What nejit?" To what extent this multiplying of cylinders will progress, is an open question. Advocates of the eight and twelve-cylinder cars believe they are setting the pace. On the other hand adherents of four and six-cylinder cars point out that it is not mere machinerv motorists want, but more economy. In support of this they show that in the last twelve months 600.000 four-cylinder cars were sold while only 70.000 to 80,- 000 having a greater number of cylin ders were bought.
