10 100 miles in 82 min. 46 sec. , This is the record made by The Eight-Cylinder Cadillac on the new Chicago Speedway, Sept. 21,1915. In this remarkable performance the Cadillac demonstrated itself to be the fastest touring car In America—if not in the world. Tests were conducted primarily for experimental purposes and for trying out some engineering principles. The speed trials were merely incidental thereto. Two seven passenger cars, fully equipped with top, windshield, extra wheel and tire, were used. The first was a car that had seen some service in experimental work. This car broke pre-existing touring car records by covering 71.06 miles in 60 minutes, and 100 miles in 84 minutes, 16 4-5 seconds. With these laurels already won, the second car was then put to the test. It was a brand new car taken direct from the finishing room at the factory and driven over the road to Chicago. Its speed ometer showed only 345 miles of travel when its trials were started. The second car covered 72.41 miles in 60 minutes, beating the first by one and thirty-five hun dredths of a mile. It covered 100 miles 4n 82 minutes, 46 seconds, beating the first by one minute, thirty and four fifths seconds. The uniformity and the consistency of the running of the two cars can be characterized as nothing short of marvelous —if not unprecedented. Nor were the cars piloted by professionals. Their drivers were members of the experimental and engineering departments of the Cadillac factory. The driver of the fastest car had not previously driven ten miles on a track. Faster time has been made—but only by cars which were designed for speed purposes and in which practically all else was sacrificed to that end. These records were made by Cadillacs such as the everyday purchaser can obtain. Do You Grasp the Real Significance of these Achievements? It is not the mere matter of speed attained. Tou will probably never want to ride so fast. The real significance is the demonstrated stamina of the cars—that Cadillac quality built into them which, enables them to withstand severe punishment. It is one thing for a car to perform at maximum speed for a short time—for perhaps a few miles. To maintain that speed mile after mile for sixty minutes or until the century of miles is rounded out, is quite another. And a glance at the figures will show that not only did the cars maintain terrific speed but that the efficiency improved and the speed actually increased as the distance lengthened. The accurate fit of every part, the harmonious action of every unit, the lubrication, the carbure tlon, the radiation, the ignition; these and a thousand and one other things all had their parts to play. The shortcoming of a single function would have spelled failure. The things you want in a motor car—the things which contribute to your physical and mental ease, to your comfort and to your Satisfaction are the things which made possible those achievements.

Hagerling, who represents the Hudson in Harrisburg and vicinity, is just in receipt of ad vice from the factory- that there has been received there the official award ribbon of the Panama Pacific Expo sition, certifying that the Hudson Mo tor Car Company has been given a gold medail in recognition of tli£ excellence of Its product. The jury on awards after a most searching investigation has set its official seal on the Hud eon. Quality of material is 100 per cent. Design is unexcelled. Adapt ability to public use and demand is beyond criticism. In addition to the intrinsic merit of the car, the Expo sition officials testify that the Hudson Company's record, history and stand ing entitle it to the highest honors that may be bestowed upon it. This decision of the jury of awards coincides with the public's verdict. It confirms what already has been said of the Hudson by the buying public. The public's decision is made from a keener knowledge even than that of the Exposition's jury. It Is not. by scientific test and examination, but by the more strenuous and accurate test of the open roads. The motor car buyer's certificate of merit consists of his order for a Hud son accompanied by a check for the advertised price, with freight to It is home town.

SATURDAY EVENING, character have been bestowed upon the Hudson since June, 1915, that fears are entertained of the ability of the deal ers and of the factory to deliver and build cars enough to fill all the de mands. Where orders have been anti cipated by the distributor and pro vided for by the factory for 1.000 cars, twice that number have been called for by thp public. Where in smaller distributing points twenty-five was considered by the dealer his outside re quirements, fifty cars have failed to satisfy. A shortage seems imminent. Scores of dealers have already ex pressed their regret that they had not called for double the allotment. They see now that their estimate of the ab sorbing power of their territory was far short of the real Hudson demand. Paige Production Is Now Up to 150 Cars Each Day Plans perfected and put under way months ago by the Paige-Detroit Mo tor Car Company to enable this con cern to meet the great demand for cars which the Paige executives saw coming have at last been carried out after a summer of very hard work. In consequence the Paige is now in an enviable strategic position with a pro duction capacity of 150 cars a day. For the pas! two weeks the shipments have been the largest in the history of the Company and they have been in creasing daily, mounting close to the limit, for the Paige is neither ham pered by lack of facilities nor lack of material. "Generally speaking, production at present is a prreater problem with the well-established motor car manufac turer than sales." says Henry Krohn, sales manager of the Paige. "The call for cars echoes from all parts of the country and is not confined to one or two makes. Nothing is more aggra vating than to tlnd the public clamor ing for a product which the manufac turer is not able to supply in sufficient quantities. "But to keep the production neck and neck with the ever-growing de mand three things are necessary—a competent manufacturing organization, adequate factory facilities and suf- ficient material in parts and in the raw state. This year the conditions for the motor car manufacturer have been partlcuarly difficult, largely on ac count of the war. It has been harder to get supplies because many factories and many high grade workmen are and have been for some time engaged in the manufacture of war materials. It is difficult, for example, to get ex perienced toolmakers. "Fortunately, the Paige began mak ing its plans many months ago. We had the organization. We now have the factory. Our factory additions, now completed, add over 100,000 square feet of floor space; and in addi tion to nuich needed room for the warehousing of stock we have thus been able to install many time and labor saving devices such as the me chanical conveyor system for the final pssembly of cars and the belt system for the transportation of parts and supplies from one part of the factory to another. These additional factory facilities and our position on stock anil raw material explain why we are now able to ship so many cars and why our production is mounting to 150 cars per day." Parade Pennant Goes to Downey School Pupils Downey school children instead of the Penn pupils will be awarded the O. M. Copelin pennant for perfect per centage In the school children's parade during the municipal celebration last week. Both schools had perfect scores hut the Penn children decided that In asmuch as they had already won one of the prize graphophones it woyld not push its claim to the flag. President Harry A. Boyer reported this decision last evening jit the regular meeting of the School Roard. The directors inci dentally discussed the parade and the wonderful showing made by Harris burg's school folks. | Another change In the standing of the schools was announced too. The Calder building which had been credit ed at first with a full attendance drop ped back to second because it mustered but 126 of its 127 pupils. Five new transfers of pupils to this building had Pu. en , m ® de the week of the parade and this led to the miscount. The attend ance last month was the largest in the 1 lßt °ry of the district; the enrollment was 10,800 at the opening of the Fall iA r «!VS and the av ® r »t?e attendanc-3 was 10,077, a record breaker. The_ contract for lighting the Shim men building- was awarded to W. E E Lauver at his bid of SIOOO. King Buys Factory to Meet Demand For Eight Owing «o the demand for the eight cylinder King causing increased pro duct! n of this product the King Mo tor Car Company has taken over the four-story plant at 1045 East Jefferson avenue in addition to their present factory at 1300 East Jefferson. The building at 1300 East Jefferson avenue will be known as plant No. 1 while the structure at 1045 East Jef ferson avenue will be called plant No. 2. The King Motor Car Company adds nearly 70,000 square feet of floor space with the acquisition of the new build ing. This plant was formerly occupied by a manufacturer who furnished equip ment for other automobile factories in Detroit. Speaking of the change F. A. Voll brecht, vice-president and general manager of the King Motor Car Com pany says: "For some little time we have been looking for more space. We have been using several smaller plants outside o fthe factory but this was not conductive to efficiency. Our fac tory production manager. Mr. Garlent, was anxious to get his departments closer together. Under the new ar rangements manufacturing facilities | are improved, and our increased pro duction plans can be more adequately handled." Harrisbttrg TELEGRAPH MAXWELL DEALER IN COMPETITION E. W. Shank With Three Cars Contested For Low Gasoline Average on Tour One of the feature events of the touring year, the returns from which are awaited with great interest gen erallyi is the unique competition Just held by the Maxwell Dealers' Asso ciation of Zone I—a sales district in cluding Eastern New York, Eastern Pennsylvania, New England, New Jer sey and Maryland. The event was an efficiency run in which eighty new 1916 Maxwells, fresh from the factory, competed, over a cross-country course lying between Buffalo and the dealers' respective home cities. It followed a visit to De troit where the members of the asso ciation had inspected the busy Max well plants, and had purchased for the run the $52,400 worth of cars which they used in it. The dealers took ship at Detroit for Buffalo, their eighty new automobiles occupying the hold. At the L,ake Erie port they climbed into their cars and rolled out for the test. Each car had been furnished lubri cating oil and water for the start. The oil reservoir had been sealed, it being taken, for granted that one gallon would be enough to carry any of the cars to its destination, as none of the contestants had to travel more than 1.000 miles. The tour left Buffalo in two main divisions, traveling east and south. These divisions also split, as the mem bers of the party neared their respec tive homes. For long distances, how ever, each main division presented a gay array, the new cars being still further embellished by liberal decor ations which featured a wide varletv of pennants, bearing the names of the cities which were the respective des tinations. During the run each driver'kept ex act track of the amount of gasoline used. On his arrival he filled out a blank form of affidavit which he for warded to Walter E. Flanders, the Maxwell president and general mana ger who had donated three cash prizes as awards to the winners. It is confidently predicted that the prize Winners In the tour will be com pelled to average better than thirty miles to the gallon of gasoline a feat which. If realized, will he an al most revolutionary commentary on the efficient design of the modern light. American-built automobile. During the early stages of the run several drivers claimed to be excelling the thirty mark. As their cars were then new and had been started with no preparation except the standard factorv road tests and adjustments, even better results were hoped for, as the tour progressed. Several of the tourists living in Eastern New York were able to reach their homes in one day of running bv covering from 200 to 300 miles. For most of tourists the run contained TWO nays of cross-country work H R \? a i ry ' T^ r " °' .Washington.
