MATHER CO. 204 Walnut Street OVERLAND MODELS ARE IMPROVED 1917 Four and Six Show Many Advantages Over Preced ing Models Numbered among the improvements in the new Overland Four and Six, are the placing of the gasoline tank with gauge in the rear. By means of a vacuum system an even flow of gas is delivered to the carburetor at all times this supply being steady and uniform regardless of whether the car is traveling down grade' or up the steepest incline. The Tilotson carbure tor, with hot-air attachment is located high up on the motor. Another improvement that adds greatly to the riding comfort of these cars is the cantilever rear springs with which they are equipped. The advantage of the cantilever type lies in the fact that it is joined to the axle at the rear end of the spring instead of ill the middle, and fhe shock is practically all absorbed in the spring before it reaches the body of ihe car. The front springs are semi-elliptic. Both cars were designed and built for riding comfort. An exceptionally long wheelbase of 112 inches for the Four and 116 inches for the Six pro vides for large, comfortable bodies with ample room for seating five peo ple without cramping or crowding. The length of the wheelbase also adds greatly to the appearance and charac ter of the models. In addition to the improvements mentioned above, the seats in these new models have been built lower and deeper, with just enough tilt to them to allow the passengers to lean back alid relax In the most comfortable position. The seat cushions are built on deep coiled springs that add con siderably to the easy riding qualities of the cars. I The Four is equipped with a big, I powerful, thirty-five horsepower mo tor which is claimed to be the maxi ! mum of efficiency for & car of this size ! and weight. It is the perfection of 'this motor through years of develop j ment in more than a quarter of a mil ! lion cars that has been largely re ! sponsible for the Overland car's auc i cess. More than 300,000 of them are jin uso in all parts of the world. The motor of the new Four is of the ; standard bloc design and at normal j engine speeds is capable for ordinary driving. It has a bore of four and one , eighth inches and a stroxe of four i and one-half inches. Tne motor in i the Four is cooled by an efficient, j t.hermo - syphon system, no pump be ; ing required. I The motor in the new Overland Six j will appeal strongly to those who pre fer an engine of the six-cylinder type, ilt is smooth, powerful and economical I and like the Four is of tne latest en | bloc design. With a bore of three and one-quarter inches anc j tt stroke of four and one-half inches this motor will easily develop 4 0 horsepower. Cooling is by a circulating pump. The radiator is of the Overland cellu lar type with vertical circulation. As in all Overland models the radiator shell Is pressed from a single sheet of steel. Both Four and' Six are finished in dark Brewster green, with striplngs of ivory white. The fittings are of polished nickel and aluminum while tho fenders and trimmings are black enameled. Tires are 32x4 Inch, quick detach able, and nonskld in rear. Demount able rims are used. As in all Overland models, particu lar attention has been given to driv ing conveniences. Electric control buttons for Ignition, lights and horn are located in a small swltchbox on the steering column Just below the wheel. The electric starter is oper ated by simply pressing a button In j the floor board. All Indicating devices are conveniently arranged on the one piece cowl dash instrument board, JEROME TRAVERS TO YVEI> Newburgh. N. Y., Oct. 14. The marriage of Miss Dorrls Tiffany and !

Brit ish and French divisions with a total of more than one million men® have been virtually annihilated in the Somme battle, says the military critic of the Overseas News Agency. According to figures from Swiss sources, as given by the news agency the Russian losses from June 1 to October 2 were about one million men. The news agency's military critic writes: "The heavy sacrifices made by the British and French for the recapture of each square yard on the Konime is proved by the fact that in three and one-half months about ninety fresh divisions were virtually annihilated, so that it was necessary to withdraw them forever- (Ninety divisions rep resent a total of considerably more than 1,000,000 men. There are about 12,000 men in a French division and 19,000 in a British division.) These divisions disappeared com pletely from battle. Fifty-five divi sions, in consequence of their great losses were able to engage in combat only twice, fifteen divisions three times and only one was able to engage in combat four times. , Four divisions had Buffered so se verely after their second engage ment that it was necessary to send them to quiet sectors but. on critical days they were again thrown in." Turning to the eastern front the critic writes: "The Fourth Serbian corps from August 31 to September 3 lost between 13,000 and 14,000 men before Bub nov. The Tenth Siberian rifle division, which was attached to the Fourth corps, lost between 5,000 and 6,000 men near Korylniza. The Fourth rifle division between August 31 and September 20 lost between r>,ooo and fi.OOO men near Szelov, and the Sec ond rifle division in three days lost at the same place between 4,000 .and 5,000 men. "From the beginning of the offen sive 178 divisions, partly new and part ly brought up to strength recently, were launched against the German position on the Somme," the critic continues. Referring to the total losses of the Russians he says: "A Russian official at Kiev, accord ing to a Swiss paper, numbers the Russian casualties from Juhe 10 to October 2 at' 7 6,000 officers and 922, ; 500 of other ranks, or 1,000,000 in [ round figures."
