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.

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."
MRS. MARGARET KING DIES

Chambersburg, Pa., Sept. 9. Mrs.
Margaret King, widow of Colonel
Jameß King, died here yesterday,
aged 8 8 years. She was born at Fort
Louden, Pa., and was a sister of the

Pennsylvania railroad. She is sur
vived by six daughters, all living here.
BODY FOI'ND OX ISLAND
Special to the Telegraph
Marietta, Pa., Sept. 9.—Yesterday
the body of a man, supposed to be that
of Benjamin Rhoads, was found on
Elsie's Island, near Safe Harbor.
