10 MILLIONS GOING INTO WAR BONDS Commissioner Lafean Makes Some Interesting Comments on Letters to Governor State Banking Commissioner Dan iel F. Lafean, to whom were sent Die letters received by Governor Mar tin G. Brumbaugh in response to the ;all made by the Governor upon the nen interested In banking in Penn lylvania to take up the Liberty Loan ;n' a manner worthy of the state of Morris, Girard & Cooke, said to-day tfiat judging from the letters, Penn sylvania would make "a truly mag aificent subscription" to the bonds. Mr. Lafean predicted that the loan svould be oversubscribed in Pennsyl vania because the letters he had re ceived told of only a small part of the activities of the people of the commonwelath in behalf of the loan. Among the letters received by Mr. Lafean was one from Secretary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo of the Governor thanking him for his ef forts, and another from the secre tary to the President. Mr. Lafean said that the letters he had received showed Scranton taking far beyond the $2,000,000 promised, Lancaster county oversubscribing its quota of $3,000,000, York county taking $1,500,000 and Williamsport and vicinity $1,000,000. One of the let ters told of the Lebanon Cemetery Association taking $2,500. The Oil City Trust Company fledged itself !o take one-third of Venango county's proportion and the public safety com mittee of Braddoelc, North Brad dock and Rankin $1,000,000. The Bank of Chester and its customers tcok $1,000,000 and the central com mittee of Allentown reported $700,000 sold in trree days. The Windber Trust Company reported on hand subscriptions to the amount of $1,000,000 and Shamokin reported $500,000 taken. Another letter gave $50,000,00 as an estimate of what would be taken in Pittsburgh, with the Westing house Airbrake, Pittsburgh Screw and Bolt, I.ehigh Navigation, McKees port Tin Plate and other companies each $500,000. 30 Miles in Paige "Six-51" in 22 Minutes and 4 Seconds . Bowling alonn sit a steady, un varyins speed of 80 miles an hour, a Paifre car, "Six-51" stock chassis, covered 30 miles in 2 2 minutes and four seconds in the Cincinnati races Memorial Day and thus scored a dis tinct achievement that its sponsors repard as significant. The event was the 30-mile invi tation race open to stock cars, there being no restrictions as to motor size. The regular Paige "51" model chassis was used. There was no en largement of the motor, no enlarge ment of the valves, and the crank shaft and camshaft were the same as those employed in all "51" models. The rear ratio on the rear axle was changed for greater speed, which Is an alteration that can easily he made for any purchaser and there fore not a vital departure from the regular stock model. , The only other changes were of a similar nature, such as the addition of a magneto for ignition, additional oiling facili ties and the lightening of the piston and connecting rods. The Paige did not stop at the pit at any itme. and in a field of four of the best-known cars finished sec ond. In view of the conditions that prevailed and the open nature of the race the Paige officials are vast ly proud of the showing of their car. Business to Be Adjusted to Meet New Conditions E. S. BABCOX It is the patriotic duty of every businessman to readjust his business to meet war conditions so that the country will be able to give the men at the front every possible support. This was the statement made by Ed ward S. Babcox, advertising man ager of the Firestone Tire and Rub ber Company, following his election as vice-president of the Association of National Advertisers at Detroit. "American industries are mobile and should be able to readjust their methods and forces to meet these new conditions," said Mr. Babcox. "Advertising campaigns, carefully and wisely planned, will be one of the prime factors in this readjust ment, becoming more of a force in modern business than ever. They will be of greater assistance to the salesmen and with a well-organized sales force, business will go on as usual." The close relationship of advertis ing and selling was brought home to the convention in a graphic way by Mr. Babcox, in exhibiting a motion picture film entitled, "The Link," which was produced by the Fire stone Company for the sole purpose of impressing its sales- force with the immense value of advertising as a selling argument.

I Satisfied Owners Endorse The Jeffery Six Jeff cry Six combines dependability, power and comfort Consequendy the nation's list of sat isfied Jeffery owners is steadily growing. The Jeffery Six Motor, 53 horsepower, insures all the power and speed you can use. It accel erates on high gear from two to sixty miles per hour without effort The straight lines of the Hammock-slung body have found wide favor. Both tonneau and driving compartment are comfortably large, accommodating seven passengers. You'll find this car exceptionally strong value at <1465. I Bentz-Landis Auto Co. 1808 Logan Street • tually manufactures 93 per cent, of every Jeffery Six. "We, therefore, purchased our present stock of raw materials over a year ago. We were forced to buy far In advance and in huge quan tities. "The truth of the matter is that the Jeffery Six was under-priced in 1916 when the present price of sl,- 465 was fixed. Now with forty-five manufacturers who have made price advances and in the face of raises which must inevitable follow in the near future this car represents value that cannot be secured under $1,700. "Of course we can not hope to maintain the present price indefi nitely, assuredly not after our pres ent stock of raw materials is ex hausted." WHY DIXON'S QUALIFY Dixon-lubricated cars are almost invariably first across the finish line in the big racing classics. This has been a fact for so long that one by one the noted drivers, convinced by these demonstrations of Dixon de pendability, have climbed aboard the Dixon chariot and use Dixon's to guarantee freedom from Friction in the rtiotor-marathor.s. This all goes to show that Dixon's run true to form even under the extraordi nary strain of 100 miles per hour. The speed boys know that when they lubricate with Dixon's they may dismiss Friction-worries from their minds. We don't all drive Peugeot racers, but everyone who drives, or hires others to do it, is on the lookout for anything that means increased mile age, quieter, smoother, running, less upkeep cost. Dixon's qualify in a dependability test, no matter wheth er the car is built in the interests of sport, trade or pleasure. . 1.

Cuba, the first of the Pan-Amer ican republics to support President Wilson In his declaration of war against Germany, has purchased more National Highway Sixes anu Twelves than any other country with which the National Motor car and Vehicle 'Company of Indianapolis, does an export business. Brazil and Argentine, which next, cast their lot with the United States in the fight on autocracy, rank second and third among the foreign customers of the National company, while Panama, which also has allied Itself with Uncle Sam, is fourth, according to George M. Dickinson, president of the National company. C)n the other hand, Mexico, which is suffering from German measles as well as rev olution germs, has very few Na tional cars within Its disputed bor ders. In the last twelve months, the ex port trade of the National company has trebled and the factory is send ing shipments weekly to foreign countries where it is possible to make deliveries. National cars are exerting a modernizing influence on our dependencies. Porto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii—and in the South American Republics, they are gradually replacing foreign automo biles, such as Mercedes and Fiat, in the affections of Spanish-speaking motorists, having the power, speed and artistic body lines that are as sociated with the exotic creations of Germany and Italy and which so strongly appeal to the luxury-loving South American. In fact, the South Americans have only one fault to find with the National and that is almost negli gible and very easily remedied. The two standard colors, dark blue ami gray, are too sombre for the Latin peoples, who have a decided leaning toward yellow and red und give their boulevards a Jacob's coat appear ance with their brightly painted au tomobiles. As a consequence, the majority of the Nationals sent to South America are shipped with only the dull lead priming coat on thein bodies, the maker allowing the purchaser a discount for painting which is done after the cars leave the custom house.

Calls Cadillac Eight Best Car From America "So far as my experience goes, I can pronounce the Cadillac Eight the best thing in the shape of a motor car that has yet come to us from the land of the Stars and Stripes." Thus wrote an expert in The Mo tor News of Dublin, a leading Irish motor publication, after a run of 40 miles In a Cadillac Eight, through slush and congested traffic in the streets of London and over snow covered roads in the open country. He goes on: "It is to all intents and purposes a one gear car, as you can use the top speed (high gear) on anything from five to over sixty miles an hour. The acceleration is really wonderful. The rate at which the car can jump from a creeping pace up to a mile per minute was to me a revelation. This was not my first introduction to the eight-cylinder engine, having made a run several years ago in a De Dion with the same number of cylinders. The one impression left was the smooth running of the engine. I described it then as 'being pulled along by a cable.' There was not only the feeling of sweet and easy run nlng, but the sense of supreme and constant power as well. My forty mile run in the new C&dallac, In and out of traffic, through slush and snow, up hill and on level, was a repetition of my previous experience. "To use an Americanism, the Cad illac is 'some' car, as it provides comfort bordering on luxury, speed far beyond one's requirement, and ease of control so simple that a child could drive It. Thanks to a highly organized factory and an en ormous output, the American com pany is able to put this car on the market at a price that almost defies competition."
