REDMOND TELLS OF CHANDLER SIX Discusses Reasons For Rapid Spread of Popularity of Chandler Models Few motor cars on the market to-* day can boast of such strong, steady growth of popularly as the Chandler, distributed in local territory by An drew Redmond, Third ana Boyd streets. * little more than four years ago the Chandler line was introduced to the motoring public. Three years ago an infant in the intdustry, two years ago the talk of the whole "trade," a year ago recognized as navlng very substan tially arrived. To-day. the Chandler £ix occupies one of the foremost po sitions in the whole Industry. Quite''recently, a TELEGRAPH rep resentative discussed with Mr. Red mond the remarkable growth of Chand ler since its introduction, during which Mr. Redmond said, in part: "The essential reason for Chandler leadership is Chandler superiority. 1 say this in no boastful way. but as a simple statement of fact which thou sands of discriminating motorists throughout the effuntry have definitely determined. The Chandler idea—to build the best six-cylinder motor car and sell It at a moderate price—is just as right to-day as It was four years ago, "The Chandler was the first high grade six jnanufactured to sell at less than two thousand dollars; It is the highest grade six selling to-day for less than two thousand dollars. But those who most readily buy the Chan dler are not seekers after low price; they are men and women who desire the best six-cylinder motor car built regardless of price. They desire a Six because time lias shown that a six cylinder motor corectly designed gives all the power and all the flexibility of power that any motor can give, that it has life and snap and go not to be found in the so-called multiple cyl inder motors and that it offers genuine economy of operation. "And so, thousands of these devotees of the Six choose the Chandler, pri marily because through four years of. Intelligent, conscientious manufactur ing effort and without radical or exper imental changes, the Chandler motor has been developed to a point approx imating perfection." Among the models Mr. Redmond Is showing in the 1917 line are to be found the following: Seven-passenger touring car at $1,395; four-passenger roadster at $1,395; seven-passenger convertible Sedan at $2,095; four-pas senger convertible coupe at $1,995. Nothing marks an auto as of the ancient vintage so distinctly as the tarnished and battered brass work.

Logan, a young plumber, quarreled, then engaged In a thrilling automobile race to the marriage license office, where the outraged swain, attempting to cancel his license to marry the girl, was attacked, knocked down, kicked and then chased from the license office by his young sweetheart of but a few moments before. Obtaining their license Thursday, Miss Kelly and Logan went to a local church yesterday and were holding hands in preparation for the reading of the service when the dispute arose. Miss Kelly insisted on a postponement of the nuptials until a religious differ ence coul dbe adjusted, but Logan was firm and refused to agree. Logan rushed to the street, jumped in the taxicab which hnd taken h!s intended and himself to the church and started for the marriage llcehse bureau, vow ing he would cancel the license. Another taxi happened along and Miss Kelly hailed it, directing the driver to follow the car containing her fiance. Logan arrived at the license office and was giving Clerk Niven a hurried explanation for the cancella tion of the license when Miss Kelly burst in. Wtihout a word she floreod Logan with a straight right to the jaw. He I arose and was floored ngain, then kicked, then he rushed out of the office. He returned later and canceled the license.

DETROIT GUN CAR CONQUERS DESERT Studebaker Car Makes 25 Miles an Hour in Test Over Worst Roads in Texas On the international boundary line that marks the division between this country and Mexico, where the United States Government is schooling the National Guard iji the intricacies of modern warfare, the motor vehicle is playing a most Important role. Hun dreds of cars of various makes and description—driven by khaki-clad citi zens-soldiers —may be seen in the vicinity of the various military camps in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and lower California. The cars are being tried and tested under every conceivable condition with a view of determining which of tjie many are more fitted to meet the needs and requirements of the gov ernment. An average speed of 25 miles an hour was maintained by the now Studebaker machine gun cars In their initial drive a few days ago over the 250 miles of country between El Paso and Deming, N. M„ the first of a series of tests that will surely revo lutionize this branch of the service. The lirst lap of the trip from El Paso to Mesilla Park, N. M., was over fairly good roads—but from that point to Denting, 70 miles of desert "sea" was encountered. Despite this handi cap and the fact that upward slope places Deming 8,000 feet above sea level, the heavy motors plowed stead ily on over the ruts and cactus to the summit of Magpie Flats, now in deep arroyos with sand half way to wheel hubs and again on the wind-swept summits on to Deming. The rigors of a mountain snowstorm raging throughout most ot' the day had little or no effect upon either men or cars. Each car contained two machine guns and their equipment, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, tools, water, gas and oil, field rations and seven passengers beside the driver, a total weight of two and one-half tons. The seats are so arranged that they afford the greatest protection to the crew and driver. These Studebaker machine gun cars are ready for immediate servK-e and could be called into action—operated by trained, skillful soldiers—without a moment's delay. They are called upon to bear the brunt of the work of transporting tho tentage and equip ment, hauling supplies from the base to the scene of operations, and nu- ■ nterous other duties coincident with j the movement of troops. They arc operated over treacherous untried I roads, through the deep sands and S thorny undergrowth that is to be found only in the Southwestern States—yet they stand up and do the work more easily and faster than could possibly be accomplished in any other way. The gratifying results of these rigid tests would Indicate that a solution of the vexing Mexican problem had at last been found. A force of LSOO of these Studebaker machine gun cars, stretching along the border from the Pacific to the Gnlf of Mexico, at one mile intervals, would form an im pregnable ring of stel around our southern boundary. Traveling at a speed of 25 miles an hour, as demon started in the tests, 50 cars could be summoned by a radio call and mobi lized at any point of attempted in vasion within one hour's time. Allow ing an entire squad of eight men to each car, without destroying the tac tical units of the army this most ef fective border patrol would require but 12,000 soldiers for active service— and there would be no repetition of the distressing Columbus incident. Apperson Official Finds Business Conditions Fine T. E. Jarrard, vice president of the Apperson Bros. Automobile Company, has just returned after an absence of three months from the factory, dur which time he has visited practically all the principal cities in the East, Middle West and South. "Never have I found conditions to be so encouraging," said Mr. Jarrard, in commenting on the outlook for the future. "Everywhere the banks in the cities and the smaller towns as well are full of money. The merchant, the farmer, the wholesaler, in fact nearly all in every walk of life have money and everything seems to indicate that this money is being kept in circula tion. "As a result the demand for cars in the class of tHe Apperson Is great er than ever before. All of our deal ers are not only taking their full quota of cars but now are asking us to in- ; crease their original specifications. As an example in one week out in Kansas and Oklahoma we secured ov'er a quarter of a million dollars worth of business for immediate ship ment. "This to us shows that the farmer and other buyers, who heretofore have only been interested in the cheaper cars, are this year buying quality machines of the highest grade. That this will continue is undoubt edly true as the crop reports which are coming in from the agricultural districts show that everything is do- j lng as well as could be expected so! that another banner year for the j farmer is predicted.'* Your saving of garage rent will quickly pay for a Butler All-Steel Gar age, 10x14 ft., $71.00 f. o. b. factory: larger sizes: fireproof, large doors, window ventilators, tool shelf; write for descriptive booklet.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Canada Comes to America For Army Motor Cars In a search for efficient motor trans portation for lior half million recruits, Canada has turned to American cars and is expending thousands of dollars on high grade Yankee machines. One of the largest orders given out by the Dominion army officials called for over 100 Six-30 touring cars. These have been delivered by the Chalmers Motor Company of Canada, Ltd., and are now in active service at Camp llughes, Ont. In addition to the standard touring cars, a squad of a dozen chassis have been purchased for mounting machine guns and like purposes. "We have found the light weight, speedy Chalmers car to be ideal for array work," said one of the com manding officers in reviewing the work of the motor transport. "Quick ac celeration or getaway Is absolutely necessary in warfare and we have dis covered that the Chalmers possess this to a degree approached by no other car with which we have ex perimented. It has ample power, too, foe hills and rough going and has more than met our demands on all occasions." It Is understood that many of the Chalmers cars now in service in Can ada will be shipped abroad for use in the campaign nbw under way in France. When "Silk" O'Loughlln utters his last stentorian "Y'er Out" In the ninth inning of American League games tills season, he can step peacefully Into his Chalmers touring car and whisk back to his hotel in comfort. The originator of the now famous "Strike Tuh," is one of a few Amer ican citizens whose decisions are al ways right. His word Is law on the diamond and his opinion Is respected In other lines of endeavor. "Silk" purchased his Jatest car froiji the Chalmers distributor in Rochester, X. Y'., and is convinced that It will af ford him grateful relief after a stren uous afternoon listening to "Oh, Y'ou Robber." O'Loughlln Is a close friend of Hugh Chalmers, their mutual acquaintance dating back to the years when Mr. Chalmers donated a car each season for the champion batsman in the ma jor leagues. The American league um pire expects to use his car In touring between cities this summer.
