LIFE INSURANCE
FOR BATTERY
Manager of Willard Service
Station Tells How to Pro
long Life of Battery
Howard S. Beck, who is now in
charge of the Front-Market Motor
Supply Company, Willard Service
Station, was formerly general super
intendent and service manager at the
New York branch of the Willard
'Storage Battery Company.
In speaking of battery troubles
*and the cause, Mr. Beck said: •'Sev
enty-five per cent, of ail storage bat
tery troubles are due to the want of
knowledge and neglect, in spite of
the fact that the Willard Storage
Battery Company spends annually
$250,000 to enlighten the owner how
to care for them." Continuing, Mr.
Beck said:
"Unless you give your battery the
care it deserves you can't expect it
to keep on giving you the service
you demand. You can get every mile
of service there is in that battery if
you just follow carefully a few sim
ple directions. You can't neglect it.
You must give it a drink about once
fvery ten days in the summer. And
don't forget it, it drinks a special
brand of water —distilled only. It
must be kept fully charged or other
wise it will deteriorate through ab
normal sulphation. If you use your
car a great deal at night with lights
on, a corresponding amount of day
driving should be done to restore
your battery. If not it will become
weaker from day to day and in a
short time it will be necessary to
have it reformed at a storage battery
service station.
"A battery may seem to be doing
its job nearly as well as usual. It
may turn the engine over strongly
enough to 'get by*—may supply
enough current for light—may pro
duce a fairly hot spark, and may
Ko on doinK so right up to the point
where the spark of life goes out. But
if you don't know that your battery
is in good health you're taking
chances. Guesses at battery condi
tions opens the switch to battery trou
ble.. You're running without signals
unless you know what's doing in
side your battery. Battery repairs
may be a necessity, but they're not
an excuse for-letting your car lie
idle. To-day rental batteries may be
h;id which allows car to continue in
service. Just a little precaution may
save you from the inconveninece of
a motor that refuses to turn over—
from lights that are dim when they
should be brilliant, or from actual
damage to your battery. But you
must have a good battery if you ex
pect good results and it must be pro
vided with care and attention or
lons life is impossible.
"In other words, if a good bat
tery is subject to occasional inspec
tion that is in charge of expert
battery men, and care and attention
is given to battery by owner of car,
it is like a free life insurance policy
to your car."

Fire Destroys Dwelling
on Gettysburg Pike
The home of William McElween,
at Frogtown, a short distance south
of Shiremanstown on the Gettysburg
pike, was completely destroyed by
fire late this morning. The building
was part stone and part wood.
The chemical wagon from Shire
manstown and neighbors in the vil
lage fought the fire with buckets of
water procured from Cedar run,
which is close by. There are no firo
pumps in the village and consequent
ly fire fighters were hampered in
fighting the blaze.
The firemen prevented the flames
from spreading to the Fisher resi

house, and succeeded in preventing
the spread of the flames.

SECRET STORY
OF FIRST EIGHT
A Few Inside Facts About
Birth of Cadillac V-Type
Engine
An interesting bit of "new news
of yesterday" is contained in a story
now first told by an official of the
Cadillac Company about the design
ing and building of the eight-cylinder
V-type engine which was introduced
by the Cadillac in this country as an
automobile power plant in August,
1914.
D. McCall White, designer of the
engine, and now vice-president of
the Cadillac Company, came to this
country from England incognito,
and was introduced as 'Mr. David
•Wilson, of the Phoeni:c Manufactur
ing Company." With one assistant
he went to various factories in the
east, where patterns were made and
parts built to his specifications. For
the most part the work was done
in obscure shops. As an example
of the .precautions taken, the
forked connecting rods were manu
factured in one place and the
straight connecting rods in another,
so no one would associate them and
gain a possible clue
The first crankcase casting was
made in a small foundry in Wor
cester, Mass., at about midnight,
and the sand was cleaned out of
the casting in the light of automo
bile headlamps in the yard behind
the building.
The parts were shipped to Detroit
separately. The cylinder blocks
made the journey in a Pullman car.
The assembling continued day and
night for several weeks in an old
one-story shack on the bank of the
Detroit river, several miles from the
Cadillac factory. The only approach
to the building was through a de
vious alleyway. The few persons
who knew the secret and worked
on the engine, when they visited the
hidden workshop, left their cars
several blocks away on a main
street and never approached the
building in groups. All of the win
dows in the little shop were frosted,
and armed men guarded the build
ing day and night.
Out of the many thousands of
| men employed by the company, per
j haps twenty-five knew the secret.
I The drafting was done behind locked
! doors in a down-town office build
ing, and at night the drawings were
; locked in a vault.
The first engine was finished at
about 5 o'clock one afternoon. ( Mr.
White and a number of other offi
cials were present when it started
to turn over on its own power for
the first time. They all stood around
the engine with a feeling that a big
job had been completed. "Here is
the quietest demmed engine in De
! troit," is the way Mr. White, with
; a far-away look in his eyes, is said
to have voiced his feelings.
When the car was tested it was
driven only in the back streets of
Detroit. When the test driver
thought he saw any one looking at
him suspiciously he opened the cut
out on one side, and to all appear
ance he was driving a four-cylinder
car. The idea prevailed in the au
tomobile world that the Cadillac
had something up it sleeve, and as
a sort of camoufage a unique four
cylinder engine was actually built.
It had long cylinders and many
strange features. The buiding of
this four-cylinder engine was cov
ered up just enough so that it
would be sure to leak out and it did.
The real truth was not known
until the Cadilac Company chose to
announce to the public that its
forthcoming product would be driv
'en by the first V-type eight-cylinder
engine developed and built in this
country.
Hauls Maxwell Touring
Cars Long Way on Trucks
Under the direction of Ray Mc-
Namara, famous road engineer. Max
well trucks loaded with touring cars
recently made a speedy trip from
Detroit to Washington over roads
which, covered with ice and drift
ing snow, raadi the right-of-way
look, in some Dlaces, like tunnels and
trenches on the French front. The
elapsed time from Detroit, including
stops along the way for lunch, was
4 8 hours and 50 minutes.
Leaving Detroit, the Maxwell roll
ed into Toledo in just four hours.
From Toledo to Cleveland, roads
were icy and, particularly between
Belleview and Norwalk, Ohio, drifts
of snow were very high. Cleveland,
126 miles from Toledo, was reached
in nine hours, despite the snow and
ice. , Fast time was made to Youngs
town, though the slushy roads made
careful driving imperative. The
steep hills into Pittsburgh were
made easily, the time for the 153-
mile run being 11 hours and 5 minu
tes.
On through Greensburg, across the
Allegheny mountains, chains were
necessary and the upgrade of 108
miles was made in 10 hours and 35
minutes.
The last day was the most se
vere of the trip. Leaving early in
the morning, Sidling, Bay and Scrub
mountains wore crossed and McCon
nellsburg (26 miles of climbing)
reached in 3 hours and 30 minutes.
From there on much snow was en
countered but the Maxwell made a
•speedy run through Chambersburg,
then to Westminster and Gettysburg,
to Baltimore and then to Washing
ton. The distance from Everett,
Pa., to Washington, 168 miles, was
covered in 14 hoiirs and 10 minutes.
Then, with the lights of Wash
ington gleaming on their snow-cov
ered bodies. Maxwells rolled in with
another splendid run to their credit.
Would Send Convicts
Into the Trenches
Washington.—"l do not see any
reason why our boys should be sent
to the trenches and the convicts kept
idle in their cells." declared Dr. E.
Stags Whitin, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the National
Committee on Prisons and Prison La
bor, speaking before the House Com
mittee on LAbor in behalf of the
convict labor bill.
The House committee returned a
favorable report on the bill. Dr.
Whitin declared • that its adoption
would release 100,000 prisoners who
could help defeat Germany by making
war supplies.

P. AND R. TRAIN
TIME CHANGED
Leaving Gettysburg For 2G
Years at 4 O'clock, Now
Goes Half Hour Earlier
Gettysburg, Pa., March 2.—After
leaving Gettysburg at the same hour
for a period of twenty-six years, the
afternoon train on the Reading rail
road now lea.ves a half-hour earlier,
according to the schedule which went
into effect yesterday. Since June,
1891, this train has pulled out of the
station here at 4 o'clock, but until
further notice will depart at 3.30.
The reason for the change is said to
be that due to the increased express
business the train has lost time be
tween this place and Harrisburg and
consequently made poor connections
with the express train at the latter
place bound for Philadelphia, almost
daily making that train wait beyond
its scheduled time for the arrival of
the train from here.
Colored People's
Survey Begins Soon
Plans for the launching early this
month of the survey of the colored
population of Pennsylvania with es
pecial reference to Its availability
for war service and the effects of
the influx of colored laborers from
Virginia, the Carolinas and the low
er tier of states have been worked
out. The State Industrial Board
will have charge of the work, var
ious departments of the state govern
ment co-operating in furnishing of
information within their special
lines. The Philadelphia headquarters
of the board will be the center for
the work in that section, while an
office will be opened in Pittsburgh
for the western end. Several prom
inent colored men will give their
assistance, taking charge of certain
details such as occupations, housing,
social conditions and the like, while
employment experts will note the
new comers.
Philadelphia has been one of the
big centers of the colored race in
the country and a study made half
a dozen years ago by the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs showed
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Reading,
Chester and Allentown to have the
other centers for the state. Since
that time development of industries,
especially in steel manufacturing
towns like Steelton, Bethlehem and
Allegheny county boroughs; and
opening of other lines to colored
labor have caused big changes and
there has been quite a considerable
movement among colored men to
ward small towns and farms in
some sections. The colored labor
camp has also created a problem.
The study will take the greater part
of the year.
RECOVER STOLEN GOODS
The police recovered $717 worth
of stolen articles during February,
$314 in excess of the amount of
property stolen during the month.
Some of the articles recovered were
reported stolen during previous
months. Nine traffic violators were
arrested and fined during the month.
Miscellaneous misdemeanors re
ported numbered only 29, as against
65 for January. The number of
drunks was comparatively small.

U.E. CONFERENCE
HEARS REPORTS
Memorial Service Held For
Ministers Who Died
During Year
Reading, March 2.—Memorial
services were held at the United
Evangelical East Pennsylvania Con
ference in the First, Church, this
place at the opening of to-day's ses
sion. A number of ministers of the
conference died during the year.
The Rev. A. J. Brunner, pastor of
the Bethany Church, this city, and a
former pastol - of the Harris Street
Church, Harrisburg, was re-elected
for the fifteenth consecutive year.
The following assistants were then
appointed: The Rev. C. D. Huber, G.
Wes. Marquardt, and S. P. Erisman.
The Rev. D. P. Longsdorf, of Ma
hanoy City, was appointed confer
ence reporter.
Prof. George W. Sanville, of Phil
adelphia, was appointed chorister.
The Rev. J. A. Heck, of Pine Grove,
was appointed pianist.
Prof. J. P. Stober, instructor at
Albright College, Myerstown, was
placed on the superannuated list at
his request.
The Rev. E. S. Messersmith, of
Wayne, was excused from attending,
as he is teaching school.
The Rev. F. E. Erdman, presiding
elder of the Allentown district, pre
sided during the missionary meet
ing and the Rev. H. F. Schlegel, of
Bethany Church, Lancaster, was the
secretary. The following commit
tees were appointed: On missionary
report, the Revs. W. T. Harner, N.
N. Lower and J. A. Smith: auditing,
[W. H. Christ, G. B. Gensemer and
W. H. Hartzler.
The Rev. A. E. Hangen, of Har
risburg, corresponding secretary,
read his annual report, which was
interesting. He explained that there
are sixty missionaries in the district,
and then gave a report of the stew
ardship of these missionaries. He
said: "Ten of the sixty missions re
port ho conversions as against six
out of fifty-eight last year. Thirty
had been one and ten, seven between
eleven and twenty; five had twenty
live or more. The largest number
on any mission is 83. This is credited
to Dauphin mission. Conversions on
some of the other missions are as
follows: Birdsboro, 50; Williams
town, 50; Locust Dale, 47; Ruther
ford, Heights, 30; Sunbury, Second,
27; Trevorton, 22; Allentown, Zion,
16; Steelton, 1G; Freemansburg, 15;
Catasauqua, 14; total, 554. This Is a
gain over last year of nine, the aver
age number of conversions this year
being nine plus, and this is the same
as last year.
For every s3l of money paid the
missionaries as salary by this con
ference a ' convert was made. For
every S9B of total paid, not includ
ing rent, there was one convert. An
average of one convert for every 15
members in the mission field was
made this year and for every 17
members in the stations of the con
ference. The pastors serving missions
had this year an average of nine
converts. Those serving stations
averaged 20 converts.
Three of the 60 missions had no
accessions at all, two had 30. Dau
phin led with a net gain of 51;
Birdsboro follows with 31; Ruther
ford Heights, 29; WTlliamstown, 26;
Bethlehem, Olivet, 23, and Sunbury,
Second, 16. The total number of ac
cessions is 620, an average of 11 per
field. There are margins that are
very big between the conversions
and accessions. Twenty-nine mis
sions have had a net loss, four re
port the same number of members
as a year ago. The net gain is far
greater than the net loss.
One woman delegate, Mrs. R. B.
Trone, of Rutherford Height?, Is the
only woman delegate. She was ap
pointed a member of the committee
on temperance, Sunday school and

Pershing's Speech of Four
Words Called Greatest
Kansas City, Mo.—"The greatest
speech brought about by the war, in
the opinion of the French people,'
Lieutenant Paul Perigord, of the
French army, said in his talk at the
Grand Avenue Temple, "was that
made by General Pershing at the
tomb of Lafayette."
Lieutenant Perigord described the
impressive actions of Pershing when,
leaning over the tomb, he said:
"Lafayette, we are here."
Lieutenant Perigord continued his
expression of the feeling of France
towards the United States, which, he
said, he cannot express because of
America's indication on every side of
its response to his country.
"France looks on the United States
as her spiritual child," he said. "Bet
ter still, does she feel this country is
her twin sister, for in the decade
when America was born France was
rtbern."
He spoke of one not only bringing
a message from the French soldiers,
he said, but from the whole French
people; not only the heroes who
saved the world for liberty at the
Marne, at Ypres, and Verdun, but all
of France."

Optimistic Sale Reports J
of Autos Everywhere
The heavy artillery of the 1918
automobile shows having smashed
the opposition and entanglement of
Doubt and Timidity into atoms, the
infantry columns of Dealers have
advanced on a front three thousand
miles long, and consolidated the
work of the batteries of optimism.
Now in natural sequence, comes
the press "Communiques," covering
the Great Offensive.
Chalmers Second Query to Auto
Editors
Just previous to the national and
aut omobile shows the Chalmers
Motor Company sent "question
naire' blanks to automobile editors
in all sections of the country. The
reports as to trade conditions
gratifying in every instance, but now,
since the annual automobile shows,
a second query has brought news of
more intensive motor interest from
every section of the United States.
San Francisco Chronicle, L. J.
Pinkson, says: "The 1917 motor
show was the finest in the history
of San Francisco. But the 1918 show,
just closed, in point of
general results, exceeds any
thing ever staged by western motor
I dealers. The only complaint on the
[ Pacific Coats is—the dealers can't
get sufficient freight cars. The actual
sales at this year's show established
a remarkable precedent. The amount
of advertising done by the San Fran
cisco dealers shows their extreme
confidence in San Francisco—where
bank clearings, wages and business
thermometers were never higher."
Boston American, C. F. Donneck
er, says: "The eve of the 1918 auto
mobile show finds New England mo
tordom ready for a solid conserva
tive season. War business has added
to the general prosperity and motor
sales in Boston have been gratifying
all through the winter. But the re
cent national automobile shows!
have dissipated the last tinge of
"buying reluctance." The dealers
watch the confidence or lack of con
fidence of the manufacturers and
the motorbuyers watch the dealers.
Hence the rousing demonstrations at
New York and Chicago have cleared
the way for triumphant activity."
Nashville Tennessean, A. W. Han
cock, says: "The Solid South is sold
for the automobile industry—and
the automobile. The number of cars
sold in the first two months of 1918
exceeds all records. This year's
Nashville auto show was host to
multitudes heretofore never interest
ed in a motor car, and never were
they in the class of 'prospects,' But
supply and demand has put the cot
ton picker and the merchant and
the laborer of the South on the road
to happy days.
Portland Journal, Joe A. Jordan,
says: "Shipbuilding is Oregon's first
claim to unprecedented prosperity.
Good roads expenditures have add
ed to the motor fever of the great
northwest, and consequently the re
cent automobile- show in Portland
reached the high water mark in the
annals of the local association of
dealers. The present is all so lovely
we are flattered over the outlook for
the future."
Houston Press, Teras, Thomas
Martin, says: "More than fifty per
cent, of the white population of
Texas are automobile prospects and
are financially able to buy a car
without working any hardship on
their families, their business or
themselves. Cotton, corn, whea.t and
fruit have fattened the earnings of
every person In Texas' that wants to
work."
Kansas City Post, William F.
Floto, says: "Kansas City—'The
Heart of America,' finds its farmer
with his crops harvested and sold
and his money in the bank. He is
making money and wants to save
time to make more money. Conse
quently the Missouri farmer is buy
ing motorcars in excess of any sea
son in the history of Kansas City
dealers."

Comfort
Car
THE really striking thing about this new Hupmo
bile is that an almost unprecedented degree of
driving and riding comfort is secured at a mileage
cost low almost beyond belief.
All of the old Hupmobile qualities—amazing quick
ness, and an almost savage power of driving and pulling
are more fully developed than ever.
In addition, Hupmobile engineers have accomplished
a marked reduction in weight, with all of its resulting
. economy—and still provided a car whose comfort of
riding and driving, superb steadiness and absence of
side-swing, is a positive delight.
The remarkably easy starting of this new Hupmobile
on cold winter mornings is by no means the least of its
comforts.
