SATURDAY, EVENING, RAILROAD HELL GATE ROUTE OPENS TOMORROW New Bridge at New York Gives Pennsy New Passenger and Freight Line With the opening of the Hell Gate bridge route to-morrow the Pennsyl vania Railroad will have .an alWrail line to New England. Federal Express will be re-established and will be run as a through night train in each direc tion between Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New llaven, Provi dence and poston, through the Penn sylvania railroad station, New York city. Harrisburg connections with this route will be at Philadelphia. The Hell Gate bridge is the main link in the new line between Sunnyside Yafd, Long Island City, and Fort Mor ris in the Bronx, which connects the lines of the Pennsylvania Kailroad sys tem with those of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad system. It is the longest steel arch bridge in the world, with a single span of over 1,000 feet, and carries the standard four-track connecting raHroad over the famous Hell Gate channel of the upper East River. Farts About the Bridge The width of the track and footways of the bridge is ninety-three feet from railing to railing. The footway sections of this great breadth lie outside of the giant trusses, l>ut the four railroad tracks all lie between the supporting cords of the great arches. The tracks are separated by concrete conduits, containing elec tric cables. The lower steel members of the arch are six and one-half feet wide and eleven and one-half feet deep at the ends where they rest on hinged bear ings. It Is estimated that there Is four times as much steel in this bridge as was used in the construction of the Woolworth Building in New York, the highest building in the world. This marvelous arch was sprung across the river, in two parts, built out from each supporting tower and meet ing in the middle of the river. No false work or supporting timbers were used, as the swiftness of the current and the traffic in the river precluded their erection. Work 011 the bridge was begun in 1914. New Freight Houte Not only does this stupendous engi neering project realize the ideal of a direct through all-rail route between New England and the South and West, but it further provides a through freight line byway of the New York Connecting Railroad, Long Island Rail road and the short car-ferry between Bay Ridge, Long Island, and Green ville, New Jersey; by which the for warding of freight between New Eng land and points South and West will be materially expedited and the neces sity for the long car-ferry through the East River obviated. The through passenger train will leave Washington and Boston at 7 p. m. Eastward the train will arrive at Broad Street station, Philadelphia, at 10 o'clock and leave fifteen minutes later, arriving at New York at 12.20 a. in., and leaving fifteen minutes later. Boston is reached at 7.10 a. m. Westward from Boston Federal Ex press will arrive at New York at 1.20 a. 111. and fifteen minutes later, arriving at Philadelphia at 3.50 a. m., leaving at 4.05 a. m., and arriving at Washington at 7.20 a. m.

This particular model has been on the market just a year. Over 25,- 000 of them were In the hands of pleased owners. Our dealers were satisfied with the car as a sales proposition. Why change? Briefly that is the attitude of the Chalmers Company, and I believe, also, of the majority of reputable concerns in the- automobile industry, toward the policy of yearly change of models. To date, the history of the automobile business has been a constant struggle for perfection. We endeavored first of all to produce mechanical efficiency. When that was obtained in some de gree our attention was next turned to beautifying the car's exterior. The process of refinement has gone on until there are practically no radical changes necessary in the present day automobile. Th<j disadvantages of changing models simply for the purpose of bringing out a new car each year are manifest even to the man with no knowledge of manufacturing. On the other hand a revolution in the attitude of the public toward certain types of motors might necessitate an entire change in the maker's plans. I know of one big motor company whose sales head, some years ago, announced in a circular letter to the dealer organiza tion, that his particular company would never build six-cylinder cars. But the public changed his mind for him. Inside of a year that concern was manufacturing sixes exclusively. In deciding to eliminate yearly changes of model we are merely fol lowing the dictates of good business. Costly experimental work, expensive new dies and patterns, and other fea tures attending the production of a new model will not be included in our overhead for the coming year. In stead we offer the public a product of known worth with tlie testimonials of thousands of owners in our flies to back up our own statements. Yearly models were for a long time considered a sales stimulus. To-day this theory is kfiown to be fallacious. 1 believe the buying public has been educated to the point where motorcars are purchased the same as any other legitimate article of merchandise. Styles in motor car bodies, like style in millinery may change with the seaaons. But it is entirely possible to make ad justments of this kind in mid-season, without waiting for another year to roll around. In other words we be lieve the automobile manufacturer will incorporate refinements from time to time, without confusing the public with an interminable line of new models. This policy Will result in two fold satisfaction. The car purchaser will know he is reectving the latest thing in cars, whether he buys in June or December. And the manufacturer will benefit because it will balance his selling season and enable him to turn out cars at an even pace throughout the twelve months of the vear. i-HIGHSPIRE Mrs. Harry Moyer and her daugh ter, Mrs. J. W. Atticks, of 1911 Penn street, Harrisburg, who spent a week in Washington, D. C., with her nieces, Mrs. Annie Gray and Mrs. Emma Wintereyer, returned to their home Saturday.
