Movie Actors Use Motor
Cars For Light Projectors
Night motion photography in the '
most inaccessible places, those places
where artificial light has heretofore
been unknown, has been made pos
laible by means of an independent. ]
traveling powor plant, the fruit of the
fertile brain of Romaine Fielding,
erstwhile Lubin star and now feature
director of the Lubin Arizona Com
pany. with headquarters in Phoenix.
Aril
That this portable plant made out
of one of Fielding's big Mitchell mo
tor cars, will be found invaluable for
field work where It is impracticable
to run wires for miles in order to get
night photography, is the belief of
I Mr. Fielding. Not only that, but he
has completed arrangements to trans
port his entire company and a host of
"properties" to Norther*! Arizona,
where this Fall he expects to stage
pictures in the Grand Canyon, and by
j means of the light from his portable
plant, to delve Into the depths of the
1 caverns of the great crevass and to
• utilize for his purpose the dark re
cesses, caves and trails. It will be
' the first time where the canyon has
actually been employed a» a stage for
| the pictured drama.
The outfit, besides providing equip
i ment for running wires, is also equip
ped with a powerful twelve-Inch navy
searchlight of the projector type. This
jis mounted on the seat beside the
driver and may be operated either
while the car is moving or standing
! still. The capacity of the searchlight
' is 4,500,000 candlepowfr and when in
; operation requires 25 per cent, of the
full power of the engine.
The first big picture in which the
plant will be thoroughly tested will
'be "The Great Divide." This will be
one of the biggest features ever at
tempted. A part of it will be taken
1 in and around I'hoenix and the re
mainder in the neighborhood of the
j Grand Canyon, using that wonderful
i place for backgrounds. It will be a
| twelve-reel drama with Henry Miller
i and Margaret Anglin in the leading
, roles. Frances Starr. Blanche Bates,
' Billy Burke. Frances McHenry, Adelc
' Blood, Lillian Kemble and others are
j on the list of notables to appear in the
I Fielding Lubin pictures,
i The entire fleet is composed of Mit
| chell Touring Cars and in addition
i Mr. F.'o'ding whiles away his sparo
| hours at the wheel of a Mitchell Six.
King Eight Goes 800
Miles on High Gear
I For the second time within a fort
night an eight-cylinder King has ne
gotiaed over 800 miles in California
] "on the Hi." With the gear box seal
| ed by Mayor Sebastian of Los Angeles.
Cal., a King eight swept from the
Mexican boundary on the south to
the shadows of the historic Santa Bar
bara mission on the north, the waves
of Venice by the sea on the west to
the heights of Mount Arrowhead on
the east.
The tour was held under the auspices
of the Automobile Club of Southern
California, covered SOO miles going
over such famous mountain passes as
the Torrev Pines Grade. Conejo Grade,
Arrowhead Mountain. Mount Rubi
doux. Lookout Mountain and the Poway
Grade. The previous tour was held
in Northern California, a distance of
900 miles around San Francisco.
The Southern California tour abso
lutely demonstrated the advancement
in motor car design to-day proving
conclusively flexibility, power and re
liability in the eight-cylinder produc
tion of motor cars. Not only did the
car have to tra\ „>1 over steep mountain
grades and through sands, but It also
had to plough through some rough road
detours due to highway improvements.
It also had to pass through city traffic
in Los Angeles and the fair crowds at
the San Piego Exposition. Every pre
, caution was taken to have the tour
! properly conducted. The city and
country sealers of weights and tneas
; ures inspected the seals at the start
: and finish. In some cases where the
car had to back up It had to be pushed
i backwards because the reverse gear
was of no use. there being no shifting
: lever in the control set.
The official report shows that the
i King on this test consumed 14 5-14
I miles to a gallon of gasolene. A good
ly portion of the trip was conducted at
an average speed of forty miles an
I hour, when the going was good. The
i feature was held by C. A. English, of
the English Motor Car Company, Los
Angeles, Southern California King dis
tributors.
Prominent Automobile
Engineer to Speak in City

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
National Highway Twelve
Deemed Appropriate Name
"The naming of a new National ts al
ways an occasion very similar in im-
Eortance to the christening of a new
nby," said George M. Dickson, gen
| oral manager of the National Motor
■ Vehicle Company.
! "With all the fond relatives ready
to suggest names for the baby. It often
requires clever parental diplomacy to
choose the name that will suit every
one best. At the National factory
everyone who lias had a directing hand
. in producing the new model Is asked
•to offer suggestions for a name, the
i idea being to get a name that will tit
I the car. and. if possible, describe some
i particular quality that makes the new
! model different. It certainly was an
i apt idea when our six and twelve-cylln-
I der cars were named Highway. No
I name could better describe their physl
! cal attributes nor be more suitable to
I be associated with the high prestige
that the name National has eetablish
i ed."
Asked whether he thought a name
had any Importance as a selling asset,
1 Mr. Dickson replied: "It all depends
,on the car. The name Highway cer
tainly is proving a big asset for us in
making sales of these new twelve and
six-cylinder cars. As one recent pur
chaser remarked, "Highway perfectly
describes that quality I always knew
j National cars had but which 1 never
! could And words to express." They
| surely are the cars of the national
Highways." continued Dickson, "the
cars you think of as able for the task
iof crossing the continent at a mo
l ment's notice yet, even blase city
I motorists, whose touring requirements
I seldom exceed a jaunt, to some nearby
I country club, are equally as enthusi
i astic about National Highway Twelves,
and since as are those who buy a car
for all they possibly can get out of it."
I According to Mr. Dickson. National
s sales are very near the high water
mark at the present moment, which he
believes Indicates that to-day, more
than any time before discriminating
j buyers want good cars that Insure them
something more than a car of average
' reputation can give.
Prices on Hupmobiles
Will Not Be Increased
"Hupmoblle prices will not be in
creased above our original announce
! nent for the 1916 selling season." ac-
I cording to a statement just made by
! President J. Walter Drake, of the Hupp
Moto Car Co.
| "A. fhough the cost of the raw ma
' terial has greatly increased and the
demand for motor cars Is greater than
the supply, the Hupp company will
| keep faith with the public and keep
[ to our advertised prices.
( "We might readily take advantage of
, the situation and increase our prices
inasmuch as we are over 2,000 cars be
j hind orders right now, a situation
which has been created without any
| pressure by our sales department. So
, great is the demand for our Model 'N'
that an increase of $150,000 or $200,000
I would make no material difference in
. our sales.
I "But above everything else we will
| maintain Hupmoblle reputation. The
Hupp Motor Car Co. was founded and
I has grown by the aid of that Hupmo-
I bile reputation and we pride in it more
I than money which might be made by
! taking advantage of a peculiar trade
| opposition.
We have been advised by many to
Increase our prices but. rumors to the
contrary, I wish to state that no
change is to be made. Our 1916 selling:
season prices were made and publicly
announced and it would be unfair to
the public to increase them even in fact
of the wonderful demand.
"We sincerely believe that we have the
best four-cylinder car ever produced for
anywhere near the SI,OOO class and we
know it is to be better than many of
the sixes selling: at higher prices to
day.
"EtKhts and especially twelves are
still in the experimental stage and
manufacturers cannot always determine
the material and the price.
"The present situation has proven
beyond a doubt that for the average
owner the four is the most logical car.
even if other types may please the more
luxurious."
Cadillac's Largest
Enclosed Car Year
That the enclosed type of motor car
is steadily gaining each year in public
favor is demonstrated in the Fall busi
ness of the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany. Last year this company shipped
a greater number of its closed body
cars than ever before, and orders now
on hand indicate that this season's
business will eclipse all past records
by a substantial margin.
Among the reasons attributed by
| Sales Manager Howard for the heavy
increase is the fact that people are
coming to appreciate more and more
, the great comfort to be derived from
; a type of car that is especially adapted
for service every day in the year.
He said further, that the eight
cylinder engine was also responsible
to some extent because it runs so
smoothly that the dull, heavy rumble
associated with enclosed types of cars
becomes a negligible factor in the
Cadillac.
The Cadillac line includes four en
closed body types the standard
limousine and the Berlin, each of
seven-passenger capacity: the victoria,
which accommodates three, and the
brougham, seating seven.
The brougham is a particularly in
teresting model. It has one compart
ment with two doors on each side, in
stead of the usual single entrance that
characterizes the one-compartment
type in general. The Individual front
seats have a passageway between, so
that passengers may exchange seats
without leaving the car. Having four
doors, entrance and exit to and from
the car is facilitated for all the pas
sengers. The auxiliary seats fold into
I the backs of the front seats when not
in use, leaving the rear part of the
car unobstructed.
In the victoria, the top. which is of
long-grain, bright-finish leather, can
be laid back, and the window sashes
lowered into the door panels, con
verting the car into a smart roadster.
Overland Establishes
New Shipping Record
A new shipping record was estab
lished by The Willys-Overland Com
pany on September 29 when 627 cars
left the factory. Never before In the
history of the big Toledo concern has
it been able to reach this high water
mark In daily production.
During the r>ast four months the
production of the Overland factory has
grown tremendously. In June the
shipments average*! 300 c&in a day. Be
for the end August this was increased
to ">OO a day.
During September the shipments of
Overlands again showed a marked in
crease, each week in the month beirur
larger than any of those preceding. In
the four days from September 27 to SO
inclusive 2233 cars left the big Toledo
plant. On the last Wednesday of the
month 627 wore shipped, a new day's
record for the Overland Companv.
From April 21. when the shipments of
new models first began to lmvr the
factory up to SeDtemher 30, th<» Ovur
land had shipped 49.977 cars. During
the same production period, on last
vear's models shipments amounted to
21.426 cars. This was considered a
nhpnomenal record r I th» tl»»--p.
1915 shows an Increase of over 18S
per cent.
By shipping 027 cars on September
30, the factory not only broke all form
er records hut it fulfilled the predic
tion made by it* president, John N
Willys, last Janua-v. At that time Mr.
■Willys made public the fact that he
believed that the Overland Company
would Jump its production up to «C 0
cars a dav before another year bad
passed. Even his closest associates
considered It a hazardous statement to
make as the factory at that time was
producing less than 200 cars a .Jay.
However, they did not know of the
stupendous building- operations that
Mr. Willys had in view. The Toledo
plant at that time contained a.i aggre
gate of 'jixty acres of floor space. This
has been Inci msnl to more than eighty
acres and with the completion of build
ings now under way the Overland
plant will have 103 acres of floor space.
As it stands to-day the Toledo fnc
itory is the largest plant devoted ex
clusively to the manufacture of auto-
I mobiles In ttio world,

Reo Dealers in Warm
Contest For Demonstration
"Things have come to a pretty pass
■when dealers begin to accuse the
sales manager of favoritism and set
sleuths on his track to prove it," says
Sales Manager Rueschaw of the Reo
Motor Car Company.,
"Just look at that batch of tele
grams—every one of them hollering
for cars, and some of them using mild
cuss-words to emphasize their de
mands:
"Here's one from Omaha: 'Just
learned that Council Bluffs has re
ceived demonstrators. Since when was
Omaha second to Council Bluffs?
"Another one. this time from Kan
sas City, the Middle Western Metro
polis: 'Just informed on reliable au
thority that Wichita has received
demonstrator. Where do we get off
at?'
"Here's one from Chicago complain
ing that we have favored Cleveland,
and reminding us that Cleveland JS
now only fifth city in the country.
"Just to show you how eager Reo
dealers are to get cars and how close
ly they watch things, here's a tele
gram that was occasioned by the
peculiar incidence of the purchaser
driving his car home from Northamp
ton, Mass. He passed through Syra
cuse. Here's the wire we received a
few minutes later: 'New Reo Six Just
passed through Syracuse going west.
Must be plenty of them. Why don't
we get ours?"
"We are shipping more than our
usual number for this season of the
year." says Mr. Rueschaw, "but seems
as if there was no satisfying the de
mand. Sometimes I despair of ever
supplying it, but at that It indicates
a wonderful condition in the country,
when people everywhere are crying for
cars."
Motor Car Sales Climbing
Throughout Canada
"Farmer and manufacturers alike
are making more money in Canada,
to-day, than ever before in their his
tory,' says Louis Logie. Canadian dis
trict manager for the Chalmers Motor
Company, who has just returned from
an extensive tour of the Dominion.
"An impressive Increase In the sale
of motor cars has naturally followed
this wave of prosperity and sales are
booming in all sections of Canada.
The province of Ontario alone, has
taken 7.000 more cars to date than
were sold up to this time last year.
In the maritime provinces, sales have
been 50 per cent, greater than last
vear. and the increase Is also noticed
in the western provinces.
"When the fact is considered that
the extra war tax on cars going into
Canada brings the total duty up to 42
p»>r cent., the showing Is indeed a re
markable one. Canada has demon
strated most clearly to me, the truth
of the assertion that financial strin
gency is nothing but a state of mind.
Were it not for the constant recruit
ing and drilling of the volunteers, no
one would ever know there was war
in the air. Business is going on with
greater vigor than during the past five
vears. Crop reports from the eastern
and western sections alike, are the
most favorable In some years and the
farmer Is receiving war prices for
everything he has to sell.
"There is more money In Canadian
savings banks to-day than ever before.
While our Imports are perhaps cur-;
tailed a trifle, this Is more than set I
off bv our greatly increased exports.
"Few families In Canada have failed I
to contribute the services of at least |
one member to the Canadian forces
aiding the Allies in Furope. The
troops are recruited alike from the
poorest classes in the country and
from the families of highest social
rank. ,

BERGDOIiIi FIXED SIOO
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 9.—Flouting
the Montgomery county courts for ten
months isn't such a serious offense,
after all. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
wealthy automobile speeder and avi
ator, learned this to his undisgusted
amazement yesterday, when Judge
Swartz let him off with a SIOO fine,
after a Jury had convicted him of
violating the automobile laws.
