Mystery Magnified in the Miller Tire Exhibit Imagine looking in a store window, in which there stands a mysterious cabinet, and seeing an automobile tire spinning swiftly around without any apparent support. Such will be your experience if you will stop in front of the window of the Sterling Auto Tire Co., 109 South Second street, local distributors of Miller Geared-to-the- Road tires, any evening between the hours of seven and nine, for the next week. The mystery is an illusion being sent around the country by the Miller Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, and was perfected by no less a personage than the great magician, Howard Thurston, and those for whom magic and mystery have a particular appeal .should not fail to sec this illusion apparently violates nature's laws. The Sterling Auto Tiro Company will present a Miller Geared-to-the- Road time to the first lucky motorist who records the nearest guess to the active number of revolutions made by the tire in ten hours' running. This is an opening attraction offered by the Sterling Company in their new location which has just been com pletely altered to meet the require ments of the local Miller Tire gency and the vulcanizing department. How Gear Teeth Are Tested at Dodge Plant Every part that enters into a high grace motor car must pass a series of rigid tests. In the plant of Dodge Brothers, acknowledged to bo one of iho best of the industry, nothing is left to chance. Every part is not onlv thoroughly tested, but so carefully are tests conducted that it is definitely known just what each part will stand. In testing the teeth of gears the ordinary test has been to deliver a powerful blow against the teeth. The effect of the blow was easily apparent, but it was impossible to measure how much force had been expended. The problem was put up to the engineers of Dodge Brothers and they developed a machine that delivers the blow and at the same time measures the force used. The principle is the same as though a workman took a chisel, placed it against a tooth and struck the chisel •with a hammer. In the case of the machine a sharp blade is forced against the tooth with a heavy impact nnd on a dial the "left over energy" is registered. It is a simple matter of mathematics then to calculate the imount of force needed to break the '.ooth. tAuto Gloves 1 7 Far and Lamb Lined jUm Forry's rOWE 3rd & Walnut AUTO STORAGE— First class, fireproof gara** open day and night.

DRISCOLL AUTO CO. 147 S. Cameron Street "SATURDAY EVENING, BXIUUSBURG TELEGRXFHi NOVEMBER 4, 1916. Automobile Speedway at Uniontown to Open Soon Another link in the circuit of auto mobile speed course* will be made on Thanksgiving Day, November 30, with the inaugural races on a speedway that is rapidly being completed at X.*nion town, Pa. While the Pennsylvania course is being opened too late to be included in the American Automobile Association championship award events of 1916. it is scheduled to paly a prominent part in the leading motor races of the future. As it is, the Thanksgiving Day contest will un doubtedly furnish one of the most in teresting speed fights of the year, the entries secured to. date by Neil Whal en, director of contests, being of a high caliber. A number of the cars and drivers that competed in the recent record-breaking race at Sheeps head Bay have already been entered for the main event of the Uniontown meet. The Uniontown speedway is of the board type of construction, similar in principle to the courses at New York and Chicago upon which all world's speedway records have ben shattered. It is a li-mile oval designed to per mit the racing of cars at maximum speed with a minimum of danger. Jack Prince, known throughout the country as a builder of speed bowls and constructor of more speedways than any other man in the country, is supervising the building of the Union town track and now has an army of artisans at work rushing the board course to completion. An idea of the task represented in this work will be gained when it is known that in the construction of the tijnck alone more than 2,500,000 feet of lumber will £e used. The Uniontown speedway is the re sult of a desire on the part of C. W. Johnson, one of the local automobile dealers, to provide a modern automo bile racing course for the thousands of spc-ed enthusiasts in Western Pennsyl vania. Mr. Johnson created a spirit of enthusiasm in the project among the other automobile dealers of Union town with the result that the speed way is now being boomed as a munclpal feature, all of Union town and the surrounding country tak ing a keen interest in the construc tion of the track which will place Western Pennsylvania more conspicu ously on the motor map. While the entries do not close until midnight November 25, Neil Whalen, the racing driver, who is acting as di rector of contests, has already secured a representative list of entries and has prospects of lining up many other racing stars in the limited field of fif teen starters. The main event of the Unlontown j program will be a race for nonstock I cars of 300 cubic inches piston dis j placement or under over a distance ;of miles, or 100 lays of the course, with prizes aggregating $3,000 being split between the first five driv- I ers to finish. The race for cars en i tered by the dealers will be 5 4 miles 1 and will be for $1,250 in prizes. Of this money SIOO will be awarded to the driver leading at the end of the : sixteenth and thirty-second laps in the dealers' races. In addition to to these races there, will be a special exhibition time trial for the purpose of setting new American speedway records for 1, 5, and 10 miles. Hupmobile Party Visits Movie City in California The Hupmobile United American good roads tour reached Fresno Mon day morning after a week spent In California, during which a detour was made from the regular route to take in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as to travel over both the coast and valley routes to Southern Califor nia. From Sacramento the party went to San Francisco to be the guests of the Lincoln Highway officials. Next the tourists proceeded to Santa Bar bara, where the film people took charge. Harry von Meter, one of the Ameri can stars and an enthusiastic automo bile driver, met the party at Santa Barbara and escorted them to Univer sal City, where they were the guests of Vice-President H. O. Davis, and the leading lights of University City aided in welcoming the tourists. Mr. Davis said that while he was not a governor,' he was proud to officiate at one of the | •■film capitals" of the world and spoke I of the good road movement as a means ' of helping the circulation of films. I The Hupmobile party was then filmed ! for several serials now being produced, ! after which Jane Bernoudy, the Wild West star, led the party to the Los An geles City Hall, where the message from Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, was delivered to Mayor Woodman, of Los Angeles.

Dodge Brothers have been reticent in making public production figures, and with the exception of those in the trade who were close to the situation, hardly anyone realized that this con cern had had such an astonishing ; growth. Dodge Brothers produced their first car on a commercial basis on Dec. 4. 1914, and by reaching 100,000 now in less than two years they establish an entirely new record In the motor car industry. The concern is now producing on a large scale and the 60 odd acres of floor space of the plant are being I added to by the construction of new : buildings. 1 1 The evidence of the great growth ! of the company is further emphasized ■j by the fact that when the drawings i! for position in the automobile shows :; of 1916 at New YOrk and Chicago I: were made recently. Dodge Brothers ' were found in fourth place in the in ! dustry in volume of business. This ! was an advance in one year from .eighth place to fourth place. ' Car No. 100,000 is going to have ; quite an eventful time. It was shipped to the Tlenshaw Motor Co., of Bos j ton, which has applied for the car ; months ago. There will be a public ; reception at which many officials will welcome the car, and It will be es corted about the city by the first Dodge Brothers car received in Bos ton. It is the later whicth has earned the name of "Preparedness Car" by its trip 3 through New England in the interest of proper preparedness. Oldsmobile Co. Preparing For Greater Output | Expansion of the Olds Motor Works i in preparation for the manufacture of 20,000 high grade automobiles next year is being accomplished rapidly. The production schedule, calling for practically twice as many cars as were built in the past twelve months, means of course, a great extension in the of the plant. Fifty thousand square feet will be added to the working floor space of the plant. The capacity of the load ing platforms is being doubled and new railroad sidings are to be built. A number of additions to the metal working department have been made. New machines have been installed to increase the production of fenders and other parts. The installation of an additional complete enameling plant is contem plated. The fineness of the finish of Oldsmobiles has been a feature of this car for years and the manufacturers always keep the enameling depart ments up to the highest standard. Re-arrangement of me battery charging room has resulted in i doubling the capacity of that depart - | ment. Other minor changes tending to increase production are taking place every day. E. VenLinden, general manager of the Olds Motor Works, says that the tremendous demand for the Model 44, elght-cylinder Oldsmobile, hus proven conclusively the popularity of the light, flexible quality car of moderate price.

The tourists were met here by A. E. Morrison, manager of the Hupmobile Company, who insisted that the party take in Southern Cali fornia rather than to go straight to Carson City, the next capitol in order. He finally convinced the party they should take in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. Immediately F. J. Linz, of San Francisco, arranged for a big reception in that city and the Pathe people made preparations to take movies of the arrival of the capitol car at the western terminal of the Lin coln Highway.
