12 NEWS OF INTEREST TO AUTO OWNER AND PROSPECTIVE BUYER One-Cylinder Cadillac Makes a Long Tour In striking contrast to the coaat-to coast record, the Los Angeles-San Francisco record, and numerous oth er road marks held by the Cadillac Eight, comes the news of a 1,400-mile tour made by a New York man in a one-cylinder Cadillac. Daniel Ulrich and his wife left Ka tonah, Westchester County, N. Y., on May 24 for Gainesville, F!a|, and reached the latter place on June 9. Mr. Ulrich has owned the car since June 26, 1906, hence it had already seen ten seasons of constant use. Nev ertheless it made the 14 22-mile trip trom north to south in good shape, in spite of rains, mud, ruta and sand. Mr. Ulrich relates how, in getting from Washington, D. C., to Fredericksburg, Md., he encountered a series of Axle deep ruts, which were so bad in several places that he was compelled to stop, and choose which he would attempt. Even then the differential on the rear aile dragged .through the stiff red clay. But the old car had a chance to show Its speed on a stretch of fine brick road near Palatka, where it cov ered 20 miles in one hour. Mr. Ulrich •warmly praises the machine for its good work, and says it Is good for many more miles. Amateur Driver Beats Flyer With Chalmers-30 Drawing down the third American I road record to be captured by a Chal mers Six-30 in the past three weeks, Homer C. George, newspaperman and amateur driver of Atlanta, Ga., has dust lowered all road and rail records between Atlanta and Chattanoo 6 a, lenn. Mr. George drove a five-pas senger Chalmers touring car which has been used as a demonstrator by the Atlanta dealer for the past seven months. In lowering the road record former ly held by K. T. McKlnstry in a Reo faix, George also bett«red the time of the famous Dixie Flyer, the fastest passenger train running in the south, by seven minutes. The 3,400 R P M Chalmers made the 126 miles 'be tween Atlanta and Chattanooga in three hours and fifty-three minutes, or thirty-seven minutes faster than the Reo Six "Our record of thirty-three miles per hour for the trip is rendered all the more remarkable by the condi tions under which the test was run," said Mr. George at the conclusion of his trip. The car, a dealer's demon strator, was fully equipped, and had reoelved no special tuning up for the event. Twenty miles of the run were made through heavy rain and w« were also held up in crossing the mountains and by meeting big droves of cattle on ! road. The many sharp turns and ' twists in the mountain road made high speed work extremely dangerous and we had to slow down to a walking ■ The performance of ■ the high speed motor In the Chal ■ mere Slx-30 was absolutely faultless. ■ a missed explosion or stop for f repairs marred the trip and I believe I faster time could be obtained by my car under more favorable weather conditions." Mr. George was checked out from the Grady Monument in the center of Atlanta's business district by Rob ert Moran, city editor of the Atl nta Constitution at 3:40 a. m. June 2 4th He was checked at Chattanooga by vv. G.

HITCHBY. rnnp, I SATURDAY EVENING, Interesting Sidelights on Drive Into Mexico How an aeroplane killed a calf and i the truck drivers exchanged empty ■ gasoline cans for a chicken dinner are among the anecdotes related by Geo. Kimball, a motor truck mechanic re cently returned from Mexico. Kimball is one of the shop men sent to Mexico . by The Thomas B. Jeffery Company ! with the second contingent of 54 Jeflf [ ery Quad Trucks. He arrived at El Paso, Texas, on March 21st last with a trainload of trucks, drove overland with the Quads to Columbus. N. M., and was assigned to a truck train leav ing for Mexico. Along with the other civilian truck drivers, Kimball was rigged out with a new army uniform, a rille with 50 rounds of ammunition and a Colt au tomatic with 100 cartridges, but was given strict orders not to do any shoot ing except in self-defense. In over two months of service in Mexico, not even a sniper fired at Kimball's truck train, and the only exciting experience with the Mexican inhabitants waa In dickering with the native peddlers who sold food at famine prices to the American soldiers and truck drivers. The first trip was to Bocas Grande. 33 miles across the border, passing on the way, the grave of McKinney. one of the Americans murdered by 1 Villa's bandits a short time before the! raid on Columbus. The trucks were j J unloaded and returned to Columbus. I where the Jeffery men spent two days l j instructing the soldiers in the art of' | driving motor trucks. Owners Enjoy Driving Cars Home From Factory Long distance touring, far from dy ing out, is destined to have a greater vogue than ever this year, according to officials of the Olds Motor works, of Lansing, Mich. As evidence to this effect they cite the fact that but recently, within the space of three or four days, no less than eight long distance touring par ties left the factory bound for differ ent parts of the United States. With one exception, all these parties were private owners, who had just bought Oldsmobile Eights, and came to the factory to get their cars and drive them home for recreation. One of the owners was J. A. Writer, secretary of the Colorado Fuel Iron Co., one of the vast group of Rocke feller interests, who had attended his son's graduating exercises at Prince ton University and decided on his way back to drive through to his home in Denver. Another was George Holtsclaw, who left for Tulsa, Oklahoma. A third was Dr. C. F. Nelder, whose destination I was Geneva, N. Y. The fourth and fifth were Drs. Ralph Morrill and M. | 11. Everett, who struck out for Lin-j coin, Neb. The sixth was V. J. Clark,! whose destination was Collinsvllle, Pa.; and the seventh, Harry Hendee, of Burlington, Vt. The one lone dealer of the lot was J. C. Townsend, of Lodl, N. Y. When! asked why he was driving through, 1 Townsend replied that just because he was a dealer was no sign he couldn't j have a little fun. Consequently, conclude Olds off!- i i clals, long distance touring is far from j I its grave. With constant Improvement I in automobiles, such as evidenced In j the Oldsmobile Eight, for instance, touring, over any distance, ceases to j be hardship and becomes unalloyed J pleasure, they say. AUTO STORAGE— First class, fireproof garage open day and night. Rates reasonable. Auto Trans. Garage Page Ads in Newspapers Proves Very Effective E. C. Tibbltts, advertising manager of the B. F. Goodrich Company, of this city, in an address to-day turned the searchlight upon newspaper advertis ing and proved that it rested upon a stable, secure and successful founda tion for the widespread promulgation of the gospel of modern merchandiz ing. "I don't care how many autoa you own, or whether you're a movie bug, or a golf flend, a card shark, a book worm, or whether the whole family is down sick, you read the newspa pers, everyone of you. There's nothing in the realm of print that beats the newspaper-reading habit for hanging on to your curiosity. You must know who is being nominated for president, how many warships went down yeater day, what is happening in town, in other cities and in other countries— and you must know it to-day. "And when you read the newspapers you must read the ads. Tou oan't es cape them—not when they are writ !en so that they uncover a vital spot ■in your armor of supposed indiffer ence. Any other kind of ad doesn't count. You wouldn't read it if time ! hung heavy on your hands. ! "I believe an advertiser should not attempt to capture the full quota of newspaper readers by small space— | unlese forced to. Use quarter pages , afl d half pages as much as you can. Then your message can't be missed. "And every now and then run a full page ad. It will put pep into almost any selling campaign. It towers head and shoulders above the other claim ants for attention. It is impressive. It's the 'big voice' in modern mer-1 chandizing—the voice that is heard; 'round the whole city and out across I the highways and by-ways of a paper's, trading territory. It's a 42 cm. can- 1 non shot—and its deep boom signals j a selling victory. "Every quarter page or half page ad that follows a page has twice the chance to succeed and to interest and impress the great bulk of readers with the advertiser's message. Experience proves it. "The B. P. Goodrich Co., recently ran a page ad all over the country en titled 'lntegrity—and the house behind the tire.' Tho effect of this page was electrical. Dealers everywhere posted the pag i in their windows. Newspaper readers were deeply impressed with the biguess, reliability and good faith of the wonderful Goodrich organiza tion. "The cost of this page In no sense represented the great dollars and cents good-will value which the Good rich Company secured as a result. It was a money-maker, was that page ad. And it has vastly helped Its small er brothers, the quarter and half pages which followed, to sell Goodrich itires. It put thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of life into the whole campaign above what it cost. It has proved itself a wonderful investment." High-Powered Cars Are Easily Controlled by Women "To mention that any particular make of car is a woman's ideal vehicle, seems to convey the thought of some plain, placid moving motor car," says J. M. Davidson, of the Pennsylvania Auto Sales Co., Harrisburg, distribu tor of National cars. I "Heretofore automobiles of power i and speed have demanded strength and ■ endurance on the part of the driver. | They were like the hard-mouthed thoroughbred of yesterday, but motor car designing has so advanced that speed and power have been beautifully rein-broken, as exemplified in the Na tional cars of to-day. "The speed and power of the Na tional car have never been disputed, and the number of women owners who are driving this make to-day prove conclusively bow well harnessed these most desirable factors have become. "The great flexibility of the High way Twelve makes it possible to drive through the most congested districts an tuoiiy as witii au electric veiucle, yet at the same time to speed up 10 the limits ot the law or watchful eye or the motor cop with the same safety of control. Multiple cylinder cars have greatly Increased the number of lady divers. 1 uis is because the twoi\ c cylinder mo tor lias practically eliminated gear shifting which was always the objec tionable feature. The twelve has also been hard on v chauffeurs as many owners who heretotore never thought of driving their own cars, now drive their National twelves because of the ease in which they are handled. "Speed power cars heretofore have meant vehicles where the idea of comfort had hardly been considered. To-day, however, in the swiftest Na tional one rides as safely and as com fortably as in the Pullman of the rail road. Therefore, the National factory has created a new meaning to the idea of the woman's ideal car. Haynes Makes Record; New York to Washington By covering tiie 238.2 miles between Jersey City and Washington in seven hours and twenty-six minutes, a Haynes "Light Six" touring car, driv en by D. B. Gish, of Washington, D. C., set a record that will stand for some time. The mark is but two hours slower than it takes the fastest trains to cover the distance between the two points, and they travel on a perfect road bed, every foot of which is care fully guarded. The New York-Washington road re cord, which had its starting point at the Jersey City end of the ferry, Is a mark that many automobile men have coveted. The route leads through the most thickly settled portion of the United States. Road conditions are good, but travel at all points is con gested. In 1911 S. A. Luttell, in a four cyl inder Packard touring car, set the first mark. His time was 11 hours and 41 minutes. This mark stood for four yeats. In 1915 D. S. Hendrick in a Franklin, clipped 2 hours and 32 min utes from the record. His time was 9 hours and 9 minutes. Two weeks la ter E. B. Terry, in an Apperson, low ered the Hendrick mark by 27 min utes, making the distance in 8 hours and 42 minutes. An examination of Gish's record in the Haynes shows that he covered the 98 miles between Jersey City and Phil adelphia In 2 hours and 30 minutes, or at a rate very near 40 miles an hour. Newark, Elizabeth,' New Brunswick, and Trenton, N. J., are towns that have speed ordinances which muat be obeyed. This meant in the open country that better than 60 miles an hour had to be done to hold this average. It took two hours and 2 9 minutes to cover the 79 miles to the Susquehanna river. The 40 miles to Baltimore were covered in I hour 1 and 3 minutes and 1 hour and 24 minutes after arriving in Baltimore the car was checked in Washington. Five stops held up the record of the car approximately fifteen minutes. One of these at Marcus Hook, N. J., was for oil and gasoline, and the oth ers were caused by freight trains and traffic. The speedometer on the Haynes record-breaker showed 72 miles per hour as maximum—almost unbeliev able speed over -country roads. .. ~ HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH i , , jjL ' " ; ■" Best proof of the world-wide popu larity of American-made automobiles —especially the Overland—ls the fact tha.t there are about 20,000 Overland and Willys-Knight cars In active ser vice in foreign lands.

There is no reason to change it or modify it or call it by some new name in mid-season. Chandler Values are Permanent The Chandler Type 17 —thousands of them on the road today from coast to coast and giving the most satisfactory service—is distinctively the med ium priced car of the year. It s the car of a perfected motor, and the most beautiful body design. It is the car of greatest all around value and no marked up price. There is ample excase for an advance in price, but it would not add to the value to increase the price. We could not give more in this great car just by asking you to pay more.
