10 First 1918 Models Grouped at the Indianapolis Show That the buying public Is interested ; more than ever in motorcars was evl- j denced by the success of the Indian- 1 apolis Auto Show held In connection with the Indiana State Fair last ] week. More than 100,000 visitors at- j tended the automobile show. "Judg- | lng from the large number of cars i purchased by farmers It Is very evi dent that they look upon the automo bile as a necessary time saver and 1 all around helper. said George M. Dickson, president of the National Motor Car Corporation. "The Indianapolis Auto Fall Show is of special interest as it is the first ■how of the season where the 1918 j models are shown.

The National twelve-cylinder motor exerts Its power more In the nature of a "pushing" than a pounding. To each revolution of the motor there are six small, strong power tmpulses rather than two or three blows. This constancy of power saves motor rack and strain and lengthens the life of the entire car. National twelve-cyl inder oars are now In operation in every State in the Union, and in eleven foreign countries." IOWA PASTOR AT LEMOYNE Lemoyne. Sept. 22.

NO SHORTAGE OF GASOLINE Studebaker Dealer Believes in Caution but Sees Noth ing to Warrant Scarcity . "There isn't another man in the country more anxious to do Ills* 'bit' and help Uncle Sam win this war than myself," says P. Drlscol, dis tributor of Studebaker cars in Har rlsburg and vicinity, "but it does rile me considerably to read and listen to all this hysterical talk of gaso line conservation. 'Conservation' Deems to be the watchword of the day now everything Is being Hooverized. Surt, it's a good thing to eliminate waste In our dally life — it must be done if we are going to win the war —but let's be sensible about It. "The suggestion that motor car pleasure riding be discontinued t>r j very largely curtailed, as a means of conserving the gasoline supply, is i as ill-advised as it is indefensible. It comes from no source of author i ity, nor does it carry the weight of ; conviction. It is wholly in line with l the now discredited, untenable tend- I ency to place motor cars in the class |of luxuries that can be dispensed with. "But don't misunderstand me. I I heartily agree that this is the time Jof all times to use caution and ' moderation in all things. Careful | use of gasoline most assuredly will I tend to make available for war pur -1 poses, a most certain, If not Inex | hausttble supply. Rut there Is noth i lng whatever In the present situation I that warrants the belief that there ; will be a shortage of gasoline. The ' National Automobile Chamber of | Commerce, an association of Undts- I puted authority in all matters per taining to the automobile, bears me out In this assertion. "Incalculable harm can be done by creating a false impression in this direction. The reasonable use of a motor car is not an extrava ; gance in any sense of the word. It I is a part of the sane, healthful out door life of every community. To eliminate the motor car from '.he daily routine of the American family •at this time would do more harm ! than good. When the situation be j comes so strained, if it really doe 3, I that larger conservation of gasoline J is necessary we doubtless shall be so 1 advised by sources, the authority of f which cannot be questioned." i RELIEF CORPS DINNER Mechanicsburg, Pa., Sept. 22. —In- I stead of the annual picnic at Bcil.

Fred is the presiding genius of the , 55", Company, distributors of Studebaker cars for Coffeyville and vicinity, and is so full of Stude baker enthusiasm that he just bub bles ox er when the name is mention ed. The other day a friend made a casual remark to him about th° cross-country record of a certain make of car. Fred, true to form said it -had nothing on a Stude baker, or words to that effect, and forthwith bet the man SI,OOO that he could drive his car to Denver be fore the hands on his watch could make a complete circuit. The wager was accepted and the friend invited to come along. Two other men were asked to make the trip as official timekeepers and observers. Etchen is the possessor of what ls said to be the handsomest auto mobile in his part of the slate. The "Canary Cupie" is a six-cylinder, 00- horsepower Studebaker stock chassis with a de luxe body—but not a spe cial racing car. Painted a bright canary yellow, it represents a most distinctive appearance. This was the car selected for the race against time. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning, Sep tember 3, the party left Coffeyville with Etchen at the wheel, going through the Flint hills between Cof feyville and Wichita, through the sand roads to the west, up over th Rocky mountains to Pueblo to Colo rado Springs and Manitou, and thence on to Denver, averaging bet ter than thirty-two miles an hour, arriving In Denver at 4.29 Monday morntng. For twenty-three hours and twen ty-nine minutes of steady driving practically taking meals and gas "on the fly," Etch'en had remained stolid ly at the wheel of his Studebaker, piloting his car at express train speed over all manner of road con ditions and bringing it into Den ver without mishap of any kind— not even a puncture. Not once did the car stop for mechanical or tire trouble. Etchen not only won his SI,OOO wager but he proved his faith in Studebaker durability and de pendability, and now has the distinc tion of breaking all cross-country stock car records for this distance. A big road map and clock in the Etchen Auto Company's salesroom kept the Interested crowd back in Coffeyville informed of the move ments of the party. As the "Canary Cupie" passed through a city the time was wired back and a miniature automobile moved on the map each hour to mark the progress of the speeding Studebaker. NEW YORK CHOOSES FIRESTONE GIANTS A battery of twelve monster mo tor-driven street flushers have been purchased by the New York street cleaning department. The machines, with tank filled, weigh fifteen tons. The tanks hold 1,800 gallons of wa ter. Because of the great danger of the heavy flushers skidding on the wet pavement. It was necessary to equip them with Firestone Giants, fourteen Inches wide and forty Inch es In diameter. These tires present the greatest surface for traction and are grooved to prevent skidding. d?GjwtilandJtice Copyright, 1917. Tb Tribune AssoclaUoa (Nr York. Tribune). LINES OX PEACE When I walk out by si frlen.dly lane, By a path I know that Is fringed with green, It is something to dream of a guarding peace That hovers over the quiet scene. But when, by a turn in the road beyond, A rattlesnake lifts Its poisoned head. The only peace 1 can dream of then Is a rattlesnake that's dead. HERZOG AND THE GIANTS It can be figured almost a certainty that Charley Herzog will be ln tho world series, and that he will be in shape to give his best, provided ho takes a sufficient rest. Herzog has always given his best to every club he has worked with. He seven kilometres, which is as far as from June to October. There wasn't oVe S. the gray J* host of a chance for another club. The Giants' captain was in poor shape and had been playing for weeks on his nerve. His health was badly run down, and the big mystery is Jut why the Giants' management didn't insist upon his taking a rest to get into proper shape for the championship. New York's world series record has been spotted enough to call for every precaution. The Big Town has won one out of four starts, which is nothing to rave about. With Herzog In shape the Giants would be 30 per cent, better off for the main melee next month. It would have been worse than foolish for him to continue play ing or traveling in the shape he was. Herzog has always given his bes to every club he has worked with. He has always been one of the hardest hustlers on the field. It would have been insane for him to have continued playing in such poor physical shape, where his condition might have soon led to a serious Illness. THE EMINENT IM An earnest fanatic writes in to know whether Heinle Zim shouldn't be classed as the greatest third baseman baseball has produced. Not with Jimmy Collins and Bill Bradley to be figured In the returns. Heinie's infield play this season has been on tt par with the best. He has been playing even as well as Jimmy Collins. But It must be remem bered that Collins linked a number of great years together and that tho old Boston star could always be found around .330 or .340. There is still matter for debate this season as to whether or not Zim has outclassed Heinie Groh. The two Helnies have undoubtedly led the parade. Zim has produced a slight margin over Groh around third, but the Red star has led his Giant rival at bat and In runs scored, which leaves the argument still undecided. WHY NOT? Sir: The other day I played a mashie shot that stuck on the opposite bank of a pond. 1 was unable to get assistance, so I got in a boat, rowed up to the ball and, standing in the boat, played safely out. I was told this was illegal. Why Is It? READER. The boat might be ruled as an outside object, although it should be an adjunct of a water hole. But what would prevent Annette Kellerman div ing to the bottom of a pond and whipping a niblick shot to the green? Not a thing but ten or twelve feet of water.
