"REGri-AR STOCK OF 1000 VBED CARS." / Scripps-Booth Makes Six-Day Nonstop Run Scripps-Booth stoutness and econ omy have again been convincingly demonstrated by Jos. A. Nisbet, who has just completed, in Denver, Col orado, a six-day non-stop run with a 1917 four-cylinder Scripps-Booth Roadster. For the first two days of the run the car roamed only through the streets of Denver. Then it made for the hills and mountains of the sur rounding territory. Here the advantage of Scripps- Booth scientific light weight construc tion was very marked. It was not necessary to pick certain roads, as is the usual practice. The Scripps- Booth had power in plenty to plow through mud and sand and to make the steepest grades without difficulty, because it carried 400 to 600 pounds less weight than the average car of equal power rating. At the end of six days the Scripps- Booth had covered 1,942 miles of city streets and mountain trails, without a moment's rest for the motor. Another advantage of Scripps-Booth light weight was shown in the econ omy of fuel consumption. Only sixty three and one-half gallons of gasoline were consumed —making an average of 30.58 miles per gallon—a truly re markable record considering the na ture of the travel outside of Denver.

I _____—___ * 1 (-Passenger Touring s<l6s Roadster Type >540 Ensminger Motor Co. THIRD AND CUMBERLAND STB. BeU Phono 351 ft SATURDAY EVENING, that exhibits all the new models. This new series National Twelve were exhibited for the first time at this show. National built the first Ameri can six-cylinder cars and was one, of the pioneers with twelve-cylinder cars. Two distinct advantages are claimed for the "Twelve;" more even flow of power with consequent absence of gear shifting, and the elimination of vibration which has been so destruc tive to automobile motors. With the twelve, the crankshaft re ceives six propulsion's every time the motor "turns over." Thus, the power stream is unbroken. The individual cylinders are small and the explosions are more gentle but more continuous. In other words, the superiority of the Twelve, is that of the trained ath lete over primal force. Yihration has become obsolete in the Twelve, that car-racking bogie that marks the "one-yer" automobile. Unique Distinction Claimed For Paige Enclosed Car Line While the temperature was boiling over the one-hundred mark in numer ous American cities the closed car was not a topic that would have a strong appeal for the American motorist. But during the protracted hot spell executives of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company were very busy perfect ing their plans for the introduction of their new line of cars with enclosed bodies. The line is now ready; and, because of the distinctive nature of the designs, equipment and appoint ments, the Paige men are confident that the attention of the motorist will be riveted, irrespective of weather conditions past or present. The Paige enclosed cars include a Touring Sedan built on the seven passenger "Six-4 6" chassis, a coupe, town car and limousine on the same chassis; and also a Sedan on the "Six -38" chassis. "Our aim," says Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige, "was to secure a line of enclosed bodies that in orig inality, distinction and beauty set them apart from the more or less conven tional, ready-made type—that with out being .too daring would yet be so original that they could never be mis taken for anything else than a Paige. In brief we wanted the elegance, taste and distinction of a custom-made ar ticle in contrast with the stamped out product. "We believe that the makers of our enclosed bodies, a firm that has won a reputation for special body jobs, has realized our ideals admirably. We believe they have achieved the finest expression of the coach builder's art." The Paige Touring Sedan on the "Six-46" chassis is one of the beau ties of the Paige enclosed line. One feature of the design that makes it distinctive is the sliding pointed wind shield. It is a two-door car. the front seats being divided. There is a dome light and also "reading lamps" to il luminate the rear seats. Motorists selecting this type will have an opportunity to choose be tween ten different styles of uphols tery, which include a variety of im ported cloths and tapestries of a very stunning nature. Among the numer ous no\ - 6l features is a light box placed on the top of the front of the car. di rectly above the wind shield, which flashes in electric lights the initials or name of the owner, who can thus easily identify his car from a distance at night. Anniversary Celebration of New Chalmers Car A nation-wide birthday celebration in which over 1,500 Chalmers distrib utors and dealers will act as hosts, is announced for September 30th, by F. B. Willis, sales manager of the Chal mers Motor company. The occasion for the monster cele bration is the first anniversary of the announcement of the 3,400 R. P. M. Chalmers Six-30. Just a year ago, Chief Engineer Hinkley turned over the thoroughly tested model car to the Chalmers manufacturing depart ment. Since that time 25.000 Chal mers Six-30's have been delivered and are now giving perfect satisfaction in the hands of owners. The Chalmers Six-30 has achieved the enviable re cord of 99.21 per cent, perfect service in Its year of life. "We thought it fitting that our dealers should recognize in some way, the first birthday of the most famous Chalmers car ever built," says Mr. Willis. "Our sales promotion depart ment hit upon the scheme of a gen eral reception at the establishments of all Chalmers dealers. On Saturday, September 30th, our salesrooms will be fittingly decorated and open house for Chalmers owners and the public will be the order of the day. Music, refreshments and other features of a regulation birthday party will feature the reception." • In addition to the reception, the visitors in the larger cities will have their first opportunity to inspect the latest Chalmers closed car models which have Just been announced. The new closed cars, including the touring sedan, limousine, town car, and cab riolet are all fitted to the standard 3,- 400 R. P. M. chassis and are rated among the smartest models making their appearance this Fall. Lady Duff Gordon, the famous style authority of New York city, has designed the in teriors for all Chalmers closed cars for the coming season. She has person ally selected all hangings, upholstery and trimming for these cars and has guaranteed their exclusiveness among I American built cars. WOMEN PLEASED WITH ADDRESS Satisfied With President's Ad dress; Harrisburg Woman Makes Speech By Associated Press Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 9.—Dele gates to the woman suffrage conven tion, apparently highly pleased with the address of President Wilson last night, to-day began their final session of the convention with the expectation of completing theirworkto-night. They were especially pleased with the Presi dent's statement that he had come to Atlantic City to "fight with some body," which the suffragists freely in terpreted to mean that he had enrolled himself in their cause. They were also elated with his declaration that the force behind them will be tri umphant. One of the important matters to come before the convention to-day is the report of the committee on reso lutions, which is expected to report a declaration of principles. Triumph in liittle While Among the speakers on the program for the night session are Secretary of War Baker, Herbert Parsons, of New York, and Raymond Robins, of Chi cago. Trlvmph for the woman suffrage rause "in a little while" was predicted by the President. "I have come here to tliiht with you," the President de clared. Immediately the 4.000 women pres ent stood and cheered. A few minutes later Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, honorary president of the association, with Mr. Wilson still pres ent, declared: "We have waited long enough to get the vote. We want it now. I want it to come during your administration." llarrisburjr Woman Gives Flag Mrs. John D. Miller, of Harrisburg. chairman of the Pennsylvania dele gation, presented on behalf of the State organization a banner to the con vention which was adopted as its standard. It was a large yellow flag, with eleven black stars, one for each sufrrage State, the stars surroundine a black globe upon which an eagle is perched. In an eloquent address Mrs. Miller called upon the convention to remem ber that "when the man's hour struck, in Re\ olutionary days, as the woman's hour is striking to-day, the flag of the nation was made bv a Pennsylvania woman, Betsy Ross," and that Penn* sylvania women of to-day wished to give to their sisters a flag which would signalize a united cause. The political liberty gained by American men by the Revolution was "an abortive freedom," said Mrs. Mil ler, because it did not recognize the right of women to the ballot. "Pennsylvania is perhaps the most boss-ridden of the 'States, but she is stirring in her sleep," said Mrs. Miller. "Remember that Pennsylvania led all others last year by giving thirty-three suftrage counties of sixty-seven in the 'State and that she gave of her best to the national association by lending to the board of officers two women. Mrs. Roessing and Miss Patterson, who have done most to advance the cause." Mrs. George W. Hiett. of Pittsburgh, held the flag up, and Dr. Mary Wolf, of Lewisburg, held up the Pennsylva nia State suffrage flag, upon which the national flag is modeled. The dele gates cheered the Pennsylvanians to the echo. Hope Is Abandoned For Two Russian North Pole Parties Missing 4 Years Sfecial to the Telegraph Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 9. Two small Russian expeditions, which have been missing in Polar regions, have been given up as apparently lost, by the Russian government. Canada has been asked by Russia to make public the fact that these two exploration parties, sent out by the Archangel Society, in 1912, for the study of conditions in the Russian far North, have not been heard from for four years. The expeditions were headed by K. A. Russanoff and Lieutenant BrusllofT. The Russanoff party,left Spltzbergen in the motorboat Hercules, for Nova Zembia in August, 1912. That headed by Brusiloff started North one month later. The Brusiloff expedition was not considered adequately equipped. Hearing nothing from either explorer, the Russian government In March, 1914, dispatched the Norwegian ship Eclipse to the rescue. Eighteen months later the Eclipse returned to Christiania, af ter having been ice-bound in the Arc tic for many months, and having learn ed nothing of the fate of the missing men. Available records do not state the number of men who accompanied Rus sanoff and Brusiloff expeditions. It is known that Russanoff's. party included the Oceangrapher Kutchin. Short Skirts and Net Waists Taboo to Them Special to the Telegraph Baltimore, Sept. 9.—No more short skirts. No more thin cobweoby waists through which lace shows as clearly as if there wasn't any waist. Away with those long dangling earrings. Since Wednesday, when the Enoch Pratt Librarians from all the branches met at the Central Building, there has been a general "letting out" of hems, a substitute of lawn and linen waists for the more diaphanous and transpar ent voiles and Oeorgette crepes, and a sad putting away "for evening use only" of earrings and other "superflu ous' jewelry. In the library and all its branches to-day skirts are of discreet ankle length, waists are business-like and sensible and earrings are non est. IVo ultimatum l.as been issued against pow der puffs and high heels, but the blow may fall at any moment. One of the librarians to-day admitted the grim and terrible truth. Dr. Steln er doesn't approve of the very short skirt," she said. "They told us so at the meeting Wednesday." Miss Anna Doerksen, assistant li brarian, was asked whether any of the clerks at the library had erred in the showing of more than the prescribed number of inches of silk stockings, and replied: "Only #two of them."
