Eight-Cylinder Cadillac The new Eight-Cylinder Cadillac is ushered in on the heels of the most impressive success ever re corded in the motor car industry. The whole country now knows that the number of cars which are even candidates for comparison with the Cadillac has been narrowed down until they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The first Cadillac Eight furnishes for those who would emulate its excellence, the one certain source of V-type information based on extended experience. The new Cadillac is the fruit of experience, acquired in the building of 13,000 V-type Eights, and of their service in the hands, of 13,000 users. \\ e do not believe that the equal of this new Cadillac exists. And we do not believe that it can or will exist for a long time to come. i v SEVEN PASSENGER CAR, S2OBO Other styles:—Five passenger Salon *2oßo.—Roadster s2oßo.—Three passenger Victoria s2loo.—Five passenger Brougham $2950 —Seven passenger Limousine $3450. —Seven passenger Berlin $3600.

MUST TAKE CHANGE TO GETJIUSMESS South American Methods of Credit Differ From Those That Uusually Apply Here « Until the Am'erlcan manufacturer Is willing to forget the credit system and take a chance on his pay, American made goods will not find a ready mar ket in South America. This Is the opinion of Peter Steen strup, who recently returned from an eight months' trip to Central America, the Went Indies and South America in tlie Interests of the Hupp Motor Car Company. Mr. Steenstrup last Fall told Detroit manufacturers trade with South America would not prove a "gold mine" because of the war in Europe and he lias returned from another trip below the equator convinced that the war has served to make it harder to establish commercial relations with the Datin- American countries. "The war destroyed three things most necessary for the South Ameri can trade," said Mr. Steenstrup, Thurs day. "It took away the credit of the countries, the ships for bringing them goods and deprived them of a chance to get products at the terms necessary for their business. Manufacturers in this country attempt to do business with the Spanish merchants on the same basis as they do with local deal ers whose credit is established. Where thp manufacturer demands gilt-edge security 'before he will ship an order, the Spanish merchant expects from three to nine months' credit. He is forced to sell the goods before he can pav for them. "There Is no Bradstreet or Dun In South America outside of one or two big cities. Such business cannot exist because the merchant considers inquiry as to his credit as an insult. The Span ish are honest, but they demand that thev do business in their own way. "Study of the conditions of the peo ple and country made the German and English successful In South America. The United States has the same chance but she must start twenty years back and attack the problem In the same way. The English even now, are sell ing goods In South America and are making a play. for the business from the countries. "It takes a salesman of tact and pa tience to do business In those coun tries. He must be willing to await the pleasure of the merchant and he must sell him what he wants to buv. not what the salesman thinks he ought to pur chase "When the wave of 'sell to South America' swept the country last Fall, a good many merchants imagined they could dispose of products with ease. This cannot be done, because what we call necessities up here are luxuries in the tropics. "The retarded civilization of the countries eliminates a larsre number of ■products that have a steady demand In this country. Cotton goods is the most universally required article In South America and England seems able to ne gotiate that trade. "Another reason that retards trade at this time is the fluctuation of the currency of the countries. In some of them the exchange rate for T'nited States money is gettlne higher all the tim". Merchants hesitate to buy on that account, fearinor that by the time that the'- pav for the goods their cur r»ncv will have dropped lower in Its relation to our monev. "What the United States exoorter n»erts is an understanding of conditions. Hp needs salesman who know the coun trv and above all he needs- the grit to tide him over a period of loss before lie can build up a paying trade."

ROOT MAKES DEMAND FOR REAL REFORMS President of Convention Tells Body What People of State Want Albany, N, Y., July 31. —Ellhu Root shook the dry bones of the consti tutional convention yesterday, galvan izing into action the most important committee of that body and sending the old-line politicians to cover. Responding to a summons from Chairman Tanner, of the short ballot committee, whose efforts to speed up that body in framing an amendment for the reorganization of the state government have been frustrated by up-state standpatters, President Root incisively told the delegates the people were tired of the quibbling and techni calities of politicians and wanted Teal governmental reform. He said: "They have had abundant cause for complaint. They are tired of the pres ent system of government and it is a wonder they could have existed so long under it, with its mushroom growth of offices, agencies and depart ments. "If we don't, give the people a real cure they will keen on demanding such things as the initiative and referen dum and the recall. These are not cures, but nostrums. "I have been in public life for forty years and in all that time our State government has been as representa tive as the government of Venezuela. Must Bow to People's Demand "The time has come when invisible government must give way to govern ment that is accountable and respon sible. We must put through this plan for a complete reorganization of the government. it be our answer to the demand of the people for reform." Mr. Root appealed to the commit tee to take a statesmanlike view of the question, discarding their microscopes and using the long-distance telescopes. Parts For Motor Cars After War Be in Demand "American manufacturers of motor truck parts should prepare now for the end of the war" Is the statement of 'an officer of the belligerent na tions who is now in this country on business connected with the ship ment of munitions and motor trucks. The answer was made to a question concerning the effect the end of the war would have on American truck makers, many of whom have been busy in recent months with war orders. In explanation of this statement the officer continued: "Here in America motor trucks are turned out in such great quantities that the making of separate un:rs of construction such as axlea, motors and transmissions has become an industry in itself. The business, has developed to such an extent that the truck manu facturer need not make all these parts for himself. In Europe, however, the tendency has not been that way. Every manufacturer of motor trucks has made as many of the parts that enter ed into his truck as he courc. As a consequence the parts nuslness in Europe has never reached tne promi nence it has In the United States. "But with the end of tne war there will be a tremendous demand for trucks in every European country and many manufacturers in France, Ger many, Austria and England who have heretofore made the entire truck will if they wish to hold their trade In their own countries, be forced to buy motor and axle units outside and become to a large extent, assemblers. There is where American parts makerH will come In. I have outlined this situation to several makers of internal gear drive axles already, as that is the type of motor truck rear axle that Is most popular in' Continental Europe, and the experience during the war, I am in a position to say, has strengthened makers in their advocacy of It." STATE'S SUES TIKE BIG TiIBEE Amount of Money on Hand Con siderably Lets Than at the Close of June Business The statement of the State Treasury at the conclusion of July business shows the total balances to have fallen over a million dollars as compared with the amount they contained at the close of June business. The total is lower than the general balance has been in years and about equals what was contained in the general fund alone at this time last year. The receipts for the month were $1,525,059.88, of which $1,445,669.36 was for the general fund, $9,142.02 for the school fund from escheats and other sources and $70,248.50 for the motor vehicle fund together with transfers of $132,591.50 from the motor to the general rund and $83,- 097.01 from the general to the school fund. The payments were $2,799,941.15, of which $2,324,508.15 was from the gen eral fund and $475,433 from the motor fund. The balances aggregate $4,497,138.01 made up as follows: General fund, $3,- 476,972.04; sinking fund, $822,455.03; school fund, $102,712.94 and motor fund, $95,000. The total balances at the end of June amounted to $5,772,- 019.28. In a short time half a million dol lars will be put into the game propa gation and bounty funds and $163,000 into the State fire insurance fund. These moneys are now m the general fund. Later on the 'Workmen's Com pensation Insurance fund will also be established. Maxwell Salesmen Hold Convention A strong example of the principle of co-operation in automobile circles, , was the annual salesmen's convention i of the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., i held at Detroit, July 15, 16 and 17. I Zone supervisors and district sales i men—men who mingle with owners land dealers alike throughout tho i United States and Canada—gathered lin a three-day session to study the 1916 Maxwell; to become thoroughly i acquainted with every feature; so as j to better co-operate with the big Max well factories in demonstrating Max j well superiority and Maxwell service I from ocean to ocean. | Hare enthusiasm marked the entire I convention. Admiration for the 1916 | "Wonder Car" was genuine and lasl ! ing. The spirit of co-operation was j never more dominant. C. W. Newby ; acted as chairman. The addresses de livered during the three days were unusually instructive and interesting. Those who spoke included Orlando F. Weber, assistant General manager; i J. A. Vail, chairman of the executive board; C. E. Stebbins, assistant sales I manager; Ezra B. Eddy, publicity I manager; Charles Gould, service man lager; Robert T. Walsh, advertising manager; B. A. Lyman, cashier; L. K. Cooper, John Yoke, T. F. Toner, W. D. Paine, H. H. Howe and others. AUTOMOBILE NOTES Some idea of the tremendous amount of manufacturing detail in volved in the making of motor car parts can be gained from the follow ing figures obtained at the big Detroit plant of Dodge Brothers. The cylin der block casting undergoes 150 sep arate operations; transmission case, i 50 operations; speedometer drive gear In transmission, 31 operations; and 1 the drive-gear, oil can and pistons take 87, 28 and 23 operations re- I spectively. This work includes all operations from the time the core Is made in the foundry until the com pletely machined and gauged part is ready for assembly in the motor car. mil now » NO RICH CIBES Few Improvements Found Neces sary in Power-Plant; Better De sign and Roomier Tonneau The latest of the 1916 models in au tomobiles has just . reached Harrls burg. It Is the' Maxwell, represented here by E. W. Shank, and advertised as the "Wonder Car" because of the unusual good records for durability and low cost of maintenance claimed for It by the makers. The tendency to reduce prices among automobile manufacturers generally the coming season is em phasized by the new Maxwell. With complete equipment, including elec tric starter and electric lights, the 5- passenger touring model is priced at $655, f. o. b. Detroit. There seems to be no radical chanse mechanically, Maxwell engineers claim that the success of their pro duct would not De so marked if each model represented a new idea in con struction. A proven product, they contend, should not be changed unless some new feature is perfected that will prove beneficial beyeond any doubt. To the ordinary eye, the new Max well Is more handsome and has the appearance equal to that of many higher priced automobiles. From the new-shaped radiator to the back of the rear seat, it is a true stream line design. There is more room both in the driving compartment and in the tonneau, three people being able to sit in the rear seat with comfort. The upholstery is really luxurious and there are many minor features that add to comfort included in the equip ment that often are overlooked by many manufacturers. Easy riding i 3 one of the things that can be truly claimed for the Max well. Well-designed, resilient springs, well-hung frame and even distribu tion of weight on all wheels make for easy riding over rough roads, without the expected jars and bouncing. It has power enough to climb the worst grades encountered on the average road, while it can be driven safely and without effort at a speed as high as 50 miles per hour. There are a number of mechanical refinements that should increase the efficiency of the car. Prominent among these is a new clutch system entirely enclosed in a compact hous ing, which is oil tight. Both clutch and clutch mechanism operate entire ly in a bath of lubricating oil which eliminates the usual grabbing or jerk ing of the clutch. The entire control mechanism is carried by the power plant instead of the frame thus do ing away with the danger of binding and distorting the operating mechan ism over uneven roads. . The electric starter and lighting system is of Slmms-Huff manufac ture. The starter is of the single unit type combining both generator and motor In one instrument. A notice able feature of this starter is that it contains only one-half of the wire pre viously found necessary to successful; ly operate a starting system. The new instrument board carries all instruments set flush and neatly framed. All switches are so placed as to be within easy reach of the driver. High tension magneto igni tion, one-man mohair top and . de mountable rims are all included for the price. The low price of $655 is only made possible by the enormous production of the Maxwell factories at Detroit, Mich., Dayton, Ohio and Newcastle, Indiana. Improved factory equipment has been installed In all three plants and it has been estimated that 60,000 new Maxwells will be the output for the coming season.' Besides the touring car, four other body designs are listed for the same chassis. These include a 2-passenger roadster selling at $635, a 3-passenger cabriolet selling at SB6O, a 6-passen ger town car selling at $915, and a 5- passenger permanent top convertible body, for all-season use, selling at $935. In each instance the price in cludes everything. No extras have to be purchased to make the car complete. The official Maxwell announcement will appear Monday.

Pints The first half of the Civil Club fly swatting contest ended at noon to-day. Since April residents of Harrlsburg have been killing flies. The death toll ui to to-day was 4,403,000. If there is any doubt as to these figures, ask the members of the committee who measured the dead flies. Killing flies, if done on a large scale, is profitable. John Kindler, 230 North street, son of the fire chief, was award ed the first prize. He turned in 95*6 pints. He received $5 in cash from the Civic Club, and this prize and all others were duplicated by The Globe Clothing House. The winner also re ceived $4.80 extra, being paid at the rate of 5 cents a pint. Other prize winners were: Second, Allen Collier, 931 North Third street, 91 pints, at 5 cents per. pint, and $2.50 prizes: third, Beatrice Blair, 321 Hamilton street, 71 pints at 5 cents a pint and two $1 prizes; •George Sollenberger, 153 8 North Fourth street, 27 pints at 5 cents per pint and two $1 prizes. The committee In charge of the measuring to-day included Mrs. Rob ert H. Irons, chairman, Mrs. William Henderson, president of the Civic Club. Miss Rachel Pollock and Mrs. Mabel Cronlse Jones. The Second contest started this aft ernoon and will continue until Sep tember. The result of the first con test was said to be very satisfactory. Cut in Price Should Not Aifect Quality of the Car "With the mechanical refinements and standardization of the motor car, has come a universal tendency toward lower prices," asserted Hugh Chal mers, In referring to the reduction in selling price Just announced by the Chalmers Motor Company. "The season of 1916 has dropped more surprise bombs into the lap of Motordom than anv preceding an nouncement period in ihe history of automobile manufacture. Some of the builders have slashed their prices mercilessly in a frantic endeavor to meet competition. In some cases this means suicide. Wholesale reduction in price too often means wholesale sacrifice of quality, and the one thing that the public does not want is u bargain counter automobile. The salesman who foists a flimsy article onto his customers knows bet ter than to go back aner a repeat order. The success of a motor car company depends on its repeat orders. Satisfied owners are the best salesmen. "The people have become educated to the. fact that it Is not me Initial cost that drains the pocketbook. The repair man is the fellow it pays to •dodge. "While we are offering Chalmers cars at a price lower than ever be fore, we have not sacrificed our card inal principle 'Quality First.' In order to do this we have eliminated the mid dleman's profits, systematized more thoroughly our production, bought our raw materials for cash in great quantities and arranged for a quad rupled schedule of production. As re sult, the consumer can buy greater Chalmers quality for less money than eyer before. • '"The "price which we have net on the "Six-40," has been p. surprise to everyone. E. E. Leverett, managing director of the Longaerr Auto Co., of England, who is to handle the Chalm ers line in the British Isles said'that jit would be Impossible to duplicate this car on the Continent at less than double the price we have fixed. The Chalmers "Six-40" to which Mr. Chalmers referred has proven the sen sation of the season. It' has a motor that is absolutely unique In American automobile building. This car has a valve-in-head motor with overhead camshaft, the type which proved su preme at Indianapolis, at Chicago and again at Uniontown. The "Six-48" is a continuation of the popular "Light-Six" series which was first announced in May, 1914. For that class which insists upon luxury in a motor car the Chalmers Company offers the "Master-Six" In touring car and limousine, with a wido variety of body styles.

Crown Prince Rupprecht ol Bavaria, while conversing with a mem ber of the Reichstag who was visiting the battle line In Artois, said: "I must confess immediately that I am no longer an optimist. It will take some time before the Allies will seri ously affect our position In France, hut the roles undoubtedly will be reversed: The strength and resources of the enemy are now too well organized. "He Is In a position to hold the bal ance in his favor and It must be obvi ous to our best friends that we are utilizing our maximum resources while the enemy is in a much improved posi tion.
