SATURDAY EVFNTNG,
] DRAGGED HALF-MILE BY HORSE
Lewis Bentz, aged 75, of Dillsburg,
was seriously injured yesterday after
noon when he was dragged a half-mile
by a runaway horse. He was brought
to the Harrisburg Hospital last night,
where physicians found that he was
suffering from fractured ribs, probable
injuries and severe bruises of
j the body.
BAGGAGE TRUCKS
SLOW ON RUNS
Usually Come in So Late That
Touring Parties Arc Minus
Needful Things
\ '
Any old campaigner of the days of
Glldden Tour* Reliability Huns, etc.,
will recall the muny amusing incidents
connected with the handling of the
tourists' suitcases and other baggage
on those strenuous tours.
' The touring cars were always full
to overflowing, and so it was the cus
tom to press into service motor trucks
in the hope—vain in most cases—
that they would be able to reach the
I control point sometime during the
night.
"When the motor truck with the
baggage did arrive before bedtime,
there was great rejoicing," says Carl
G Fisher, (Father of the Lincoln
Highway and now leader of the Dixie
Highway from Chicago to Miami,
Fla.), "but more often it became
necessary to arouse the local store
keepers from their slumbers to buy
pajamas and other sleeping outfits,
not to mention extra combs, etc.
"Many were the amusing tales told
ot how the trucks got mired and
were helped out by horses, mules,
oxen or any other means that came
handiest. It was not unusual, in fact
Kt was the regular thing, to see the
ruck towed into town. The men
would work all night trying to get
the baggage car in shape and in uie
morning it would start out again
ahead of the touring cars, still hoping
to re(ich the next control sometime
within 24 hours.
"Them was the hard days for the
luckless wights who were selected by
the factory for the task of 'putting
the truck through.'
"Reminiscences of those days re
curred every evening on the recent
Dixie Tour, Inspired by the really
marvelous performance of the Reo %-
ton speed wagon, carrying the bag
gage An this tour.
"Not only did the Reo truck not
trail in behind, but on the contrary
It was always in the van. No matter
whether the pace-maker held the
speed down to 20 miles an hour: or
over a good straight stretch of road
cut her loose until the speedometer
showed 40 miles, the Reo truck wws
always right there in its place and its
occupants seemed to be having as
comfortable a ride as any, on the
pneumatic tired Reo.
"It was after hearing of the re
markable performance of this truck
in the Michigan Wolverine Paved Way
campaign that I decided to send a
Reo truck along with the Dixie
Tourists," continued Mr. Fisher. "On
that tour six Reo trucks, each carry
ing a driver and nine members of
the Reo Band, led the procession. The
first day they were behind the pilot
car but that proved to be too slow for
the Reos, especially as the program j
called for the band on foot, playing, I
to head the caravan of automobiles,
into each town where stops were |
made for the speakers to declaim the I
benefits of good roads.
"The pilot car was too slow, so the
committee decided to put the Reo
' trucks at the front. They not only
stayed at the front but on leaving a
town would sprint so far ahead of the
leader of the caravan of touring cara,
that the members of the Hand were
always unloaded and lined up in
marching order ready to lead the
procession into the next town without
a halt on the part of the latter.
"The trucks meantime would make
a detour through the back streets to
a point beyond the speakers' platform,
there pick up their load and at 40-
mile-per-hour clip rush on to the next
stopping place.
"The performance of these 1500-
pound trucks, which the Reo folk call
'hurry up* wagons, has demonstrate !
in a most conclusive way the practic
abilitv and reliability of a new type
of motor vehicle that fills a great
need in various commercial lines, the
ne<sl for celerity with medium carry
ing capacity."
Quad Runs When Horses
Quit Because of Mud
The first motor truck to complete
successfully with animal traction on
Its own ground is the Jeffery Quad, the
truck with the positive non-slipping
drive to each road wheel. This fact
was recentlv commented upon by "The
Automobile "Engineer," England's lead
ing motor car authority, which de
scribed the Quad as the world's most
successful motor truck.
Confirmation of this statement is
constantly coming to hand. For in
stance, there is a Jeffery Quad, belong
ing to Jay S. Jones, of Winnemucca,
Nev., which runs even when the big
horse teams so common in the West are
unable to travel. Quoting from a re
cent letter from Mr. Jones:
"The Quad with a full load each way,
makes regular trips between Winne
mucca and McDermltt, a distance of
eighty-five miles, and travejs over a
road on which no other truck has been
able to give satisfaction.
"The Quad has averaged two and a
half round trips a week for the last
month, during both good and bad
weather. It was able to make lt*i reg
ular trips through the mud when the
road was impassable for the fourteen
and eighteen horse teams for seven and
eight days. The Quad has run to date
6285 6-10 miles and the only replace
nients made have been & fan spider and
a fan belt. The going ht-re is very
heavy, there being considerable loose
dry sand and soft ground. At times we
have had to-run for fifteen to twenty
miles on low gear.
"When wq/ brought the Quad truck
here e\-eryone laughed at It and predict
ed It would not last a month at the
best, but the wonderful showing It has
made has now convinced people here
that at last we have a truck which cair
do the work over these roads."

WHO WROTE THAT?
PRIZE CONTEST
[.Continued From First Page.]
with the greatest minds of all times
gives.
Read first the details of the plan
and then consider the prizes which
are being offered for the most widely
read and most zealous workers who
will take part In the contest.
Every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday the Telegraph will print in
a list of quotations from the better
known works of the waiters of class
ical literature, prose, poetry, blank
verse, etc. This contest will last for
four consecutive weeks. Care will be!
?aken in the selection of quotations, j
and obscure and unfamiliar works j
will not be considered. Shakespeare, I
Milton, Tennyson, Browning, Carlyle, j
Samuel Johnson, Macaulay and others!
who are familiar in name at least to j
every schoolboy, will be given the j
preference over Aristotle, John Locke,'
Richard Lovelance, Plutarch. Aristo- j
phanes, and others less familiar to the:
average student. In order to lessen i
somewhat the difficulty of . spotting
these quotations, a list of those works
from which the quotations for that
week will be taken will be printed on
Tuesday of each week, and for that
entire week the student will not have
to go outside of the works Mentioned !
j for the sources of the quotations and I
selections.
Answers Must be Filed In Time
In order to guard against flooding j
the contest editor's desk at the close!
of the competition, it will be Incum- i
bent upon each competitor to have I
the answers for each week in the!
hands of the Literary Editor of the
I Telegraph not later than the Wednes-'
[ day of the succeeding week. For in- j
! stance, answers giving the sources-of;
.the quotations for November 16, 18,
and 20 must be mailed In the correct!
! form to reach the editor not later
than Wednesday, November 24. and
.so on throughout each week. This is
■ one of the most important conditions i
! of the contest, and must be carefully!
noted. All answers received late wiil j
i have to be discarded,
i A limit on those eligible to com-j
1 pete must be set, and it has been de- j
oided to opnflne the competition to!
students of the TTarrishnrg High!
I school. Technical High, Harrlsburgj
Academy and the Parochial schools, j
Answers must be written neatly In ink I
or heavy "Pencil and their complete
ness and neatness may decide the J
issue as to the winner, if the contest
becomes a close one. For example,
suppose one of the quotations to be:
" Then know, that I have little
wealth to lose;
A man I am, cross'd with ad- i
verslty."
The answer would be, complete-
From Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen
of Verona." Act IV, Sc. 1.
