A GRAPHIC GRAPHITE TALE French-made cars came mighty near monopolizing the chief honors at the International Sweepstakes Gasoline Derby held May 30th, at the Indian apolis Motor Speedway. Dario Resta, first to finish the 300 miles, drove a Peugeot, a French car. Less than two minutes behind him was Wilbur D'Alene In an American car, the Duesenberg. Again, it was a French car, another Peugeot, with Ralph Mulford at the wheel, finishing third, j The English Sunbeam, Joe Chesitaens driving, finished fourth. All of these cars were Dixon-lubrlcated through- - out. Every other car that finished Inside the money, ten prizes having been of- j fered, was American-made. And j every one of the ten was lubricated throughout with Dixon's Graphite Au tomobile Lubricants made in Jersey City. Still more remarkable is the fact that every car which completed the course was Dixon-lubricated } throughout. The fellows who fell by, the wayside can take their cue from j the winners and the other wise ones who know that Dixon's always run j true to form when it comes to scaring' oft Old Man Friction. 4 SATURDAY EVENING. HARJUSBtTRG TELEGRAPH JUNE 10, 1916. Hupp Business Seventy- Six Per Cent. Greater | Sales records were again surpassed , r>> the larger automobile concerns dur ing May and the demand for machines continued unabated. May, of course, was the start of the real touring sea son, but found the dealers throughout the country without their usual excess supply from the winter months so that there has been a general short- I age and the cars are being sold far in advance of delivery from the factor- I ies. "The automobile situation has now developed into a production problem," says Lee Anderson, commercial man ager of the Hupp Motor Car Corpora tion. The big demand which con tinued throughout the winter months j left both manufacturer and dealer i without the usual supply for the i Spring rush. "As a result even with the fac tory working at top speed, and pro duction far Ahead of past months we > have been unable to cope with the sit uation. For the last two weeks we have been flooded with telegrams for cars for immediate shipment. "Our predictions last Fall that the • winter business would be a record breaker and our winter forecast of the Spring shortage have been fulfill- ed. I am making no predictions about the summer because there appears ; no chance of our catching up with or j ders. It is simply a case of our speed ; ing up production as much as possible i to meet the demand. | "The situation is best explained by I oui sales records for the last two vears | In our fiscal year starting last July we ' have produced and sold 53 per cent. , more cars in eleven months than we did in the entire twelve of the preced ing year. May showed a gain of 54 per cent, over May, 1915, which was | one of our big months. And vet we closed May with over 1,200 orders on } our books for immediate delivery. ; With orders on file our sales for 1916 are 70 per cent, greater for eleven months than the twelve of the preced j ing season. | "The demand for cars come from no particular section, but is general all i over the country, showing that pros perity is general and does not come from a few localities, in fact our whole business shows a consistent gain rath er than in spurts as is evidenced by jour 54 per cent, gain for the month i of May and our 53 per cent, increase I for the whole year.

The return, via Bed ford Springs, will follow a portion of the Lincoln highway. Mr. Dull, who is thoroughly familiar with the country, told the story as if already in a sight-seeing car, and pointing out places of interest along the route. He said in part; The Una Pennsylvania in which every turn of the road will suggest some history beautiful, interesting and instructive: telling a little here and a little there of our forefathers: of the toll and suf fering they sustained that we might have civil and religious liberty. "Let us start at the Juniata 'Nar rows.' You will notice along the south, or river side of the road, a stonewall extending the length of the 'Narrows.' That you will recall is the monument left to old canal days. Did you ever know that the State, when considering the public improvements, sent to New York for the same engi neer, or his son, who had planned the Erie canal 7 All canals 'were alike to him,' so he recommended a ditch. Had he grasped the resources at hand he could have built a slack water chan nel on the Juniata, north and west branches of the Susquehanna and per haps from Havre de Grace to Williams port on that river. Then as we drive by in automobiles on this run we would see powerboats running on the river by our side. Yet that stonewall tells us that while It withstood for nigli a century the ice and floods and made good Its promise to keep the river on one side and the ditch on the other, had the river been fretted with dams the question of cheap transportation would have been solved for the farmer and small manufacturer. But this is a drive over the central part of our State, not a soliloquy. Out of the '•\nrroTt*'* "Emerging, how the word fits the description, from the 'Narrows' we run into and through the prosperous Lew lstown and on to Reedsvllle. Between these places Is Logan's Spring, where the great Mingo chief had his wigwam at one time. Let me here relate an instance told to me by the late Andrew Reed, from whose family Reedsvllle got its name. Reed's great great grandfather, one of the first settlers, was leaning over the spring in the act of drinking when he saw the reflec tion of an Indian. As he snatched up his rifle he was met by the'calm, dig nified chief who turned his own rifle upside down and poured the powder from the pan of the flintlock into the palm of his hand and tossed it Into the spring, thereby signifying friend ship to Reed. That friendly feeling lasted as long to Reed and family as Longan remained In that section. "Now. turning west we enter the Kishhacoquillas Valley, a hard word to spell; meaning. I am informed, 'Standing Stone Valley.' It is a valley of rare beauty, known locally as the Big Valley to distinguish it from Fur gerson's or Little Valley to south, over the left hand mountain. On the May Then after twenty-odd miles we run i into Huntingdon, Standing Stone. There you may see in an open space as vour I car speeds along a tall shaft about eighteen feet high by three by nine or ten Inches at the base. This 'stone' placed there by nature, was the great rendezvous, or camping place of the Indians. "Then we go on to Hollidaysburg and thence to Johnstown where the night will be passed. The next day we start on our homeward run, via the 'Lincoln highway.' The l.tiicoln' Highway "We reach the Lincoln highway, the old turnpike from Baltimore to Pitts burgh. We travel the old turnpike from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, and shortly after we get on that highway wc see ahead of us what is said to be the longht 'straight-away' In the State, a little over seven miles. It seems in the vista to narrow to a thread, and to be climbing a long hill, but it is not. i Its width doesn't change, neither does Its grade, and presently we are on tne eastern face of the Alleghenies. Here Is a lookout, and we might anticipate a few miles to tell now what McMas- 1 ter told in his history of the 'American ! People' of that view. "Describing what the soldiers of Washington saw on their inarch in 1793-4 to subdue the Whisky insur rection, he said: 'Never before had they been so far from home. Thev had grown up in a country where nothing higher than low hill was to be seen, and now they beheld that wild region set off with all its splendors.' "The beauty of the little town of Bedford shut in on three sides by hills, filled them with amazement. But it was not until they reached the east ern slopes of the Alleghenies that their surprise was the greatest. On the Lookout "At the 'Lookout' for a few minutes try to take in the beautiful, wide, exten- 1 sive view. We then start our cars throw out the clutch, look well to breaks, keep your eye on the 'emer gency,' for ahead Is a coast of four and a-half miles into the' town of Bed ford. This town has a history that is in teresting in highest degree to a Penn sylvanian. In 1775 Major-General Brad dock was joined here by Colonel Wash ington. It was a fort, and the troops were assembled to march on Fort Du Quesne, to capture the fort at that time in the hands of the French and Indians. Braddock refusing to follow Colonel Washington's advice lost the victory and his life. At the turn of the road to the famous Bedford Springs, is the location of the old Fort Bedford. "In 1793-4 Washington visited .Bed ford. Times had changed and we chang ed with the them, our country had de clared and established its Independence since his last visit and now as Presi dent of the United States of America, commander and chief of its armv, he was In Bedford a scond time. If "some of the members of the club whose fam ily comes from Bedford were with us we might see the furniture used by Washington on his second visit. This second coming was to put down the 'Whisky insurrection.' Washington left Philadelphia, stopped over night at Harrisburg, and joined the army, part of which had crossed the river south of Columbia, at Carlisle. Coining; Home "Leaving Bedford, the afternoon run of 110 miles to Harrisburg, you will see along the road many good-sized, old-fashioned houses and many of them were, in ye olden times, 'road houses,' where the teamsters put up for the night. You will see off to the left or north the old line of the South Penn Railroad, and from the deep cuts and the high fills we can readily believe that 15,000,000 was sunk In that enter prise. Then into Chambersburg, and at the 'Square' we turn east, recall that at that same 'turn' Lee turned south to meet Meade in Gettysburg many years ago. "And then to Harrisburg. So we see that tills ride is over a part of our grand odl Commonwealth filled with Interest. Instruction and beauty, sec ond to none In our great country" IP Ensmiflger Motor Co.

Toledo ™ Production and Price Do the great variety of Sixes and the fluc tuating prices seem confusing and perplexing? Let's reason it out. What controls price? Production. As a manufacturer's production increases, his production cost, per car, decreases. . Therefore the plant with the largest production is in a position to give more of everything and charge less for it. We are the world's largest producers of Six and Four Cylinder Automobiles. Consequently you get in the Overland "Six a larger and more powerful motor —a longer wheel base —the convenience of electric control buttons on the steering column and an almost endless list of other comforts and refinements. —yet what is the price ? Not SI2OO or SI3OO but $1145. And when it comes to a Six Cylinder perform ance, remember the Overland Six is the star of them all. One ride will convince you. The Overland-Harrisburg Co.
