SATURDAY EVENING, awards will be baaed on certified rec ord* of Packard truck operation over a period of three months be ginning June 1. All Packard owners nnd drivers are Invited to partici pate. There will be three awards of SI,OOO each for owners and three of SSOO each, three of <IOO each apd three of $75 each, nine in all, for drivers. In referring to this announcement made by the Packard Company, B. B. Harrington, manager of the Pack ard Harrisburg branch, states, "that the first aim of the test is to give substantial and active assistance to the Council of National Defense. It recently appealed to the country urging more extensive and more ef ficient use of the motor trucks to help existing transportation prob- i lems. We believe this test will result In carrying full loads, careful rout ing and proper maintenance of trucks, all important factors in ef ficiency and the Bavlng of freight cars for government use. "The second aim Is to Introduce more widely to owners and drivers the National Standard Truck Cost System form, adopted and advocated for general use by the Truck Own ers Conference, Inc., of Chicago. It has been proved that Important eco nomies to owners result from keep ing such records; and also that driv ers frequently better their wages by putting down In black and white the savings they effect for thplr em ployers. "Preparations for the inauguration of the test on June 1, are already completed. Entry blanks, the rules and the standard cost forms are In tfte hands of Packard dealers, where they may be obtained any time up to June 1. Every owner and driver should get them at once, study them over and then sit down and figure out what they are going to do to operate more efficiently to get' one each of the SI,OOO and SSOO awards. "Every Packard truck, no matter how old. is Invited to enter. The trucks will be divided into three classes to put the different capacities on an equitable basis. The one and one-half and two-ton trucks will be in class A: three and four-ton trucks in class B, and the five and six-ton trucks in class C. There will be no competition between classes. "The award to the winning own ers In each class will be SI,OOO. The first awards to the most competent driver in each class will be SSOO, the second SIOO, and the third, $75. The awards will be made by a board of judges who are in no way connect ed with the Packard organization. Men who are nationally known as transportation experts will be asked to pass on the records and from them determine the winners. "We should all remember," con cluded Mr. Harrington, "that It is our patriotic duty to do all we can to aid our country. If for no other reason, every owner should enter his Packard in this test. And for the same reason, every driver should do his utmost to win. Efficiency in truok operation means the saving of thou sands of freight cars—and we need them now to back up our boys in France." Accurate Speedometer Drive on the Cadillac Xo matter how accurate a speed ometer may be, It cannot make an accurate record unless the speedom eter drive mechanicsm is so arranged that driving wheel slippage, or non skid treads as used on the rear wheels, do not register on the instru ment. Such a speedometer drive is provided on the Cadillac. Operating from one of the front wheels, the Cadillac speedometer drive takes no account of rear wheel slippage at high speed, as when striking an inequality In the road, or at low speed, as when driving through sand or mud. Neither does the rear tire oversize, due to the non skid tread, affect the mileage read ing. The front wheel drive is in line with the law in many states which requires that taxicabs be equipped with a front wheel meter drive. The Cadillac speedometer drive is enclosed in the spindle of the right front wheel, the gears protected from road dirt and running in lubri cant. This assures long life and quiet operation. The driving gear is driven from the hub of the right front wheel by a small shaft which passes through the center of the spindle. The driven gear is pinned to a shaft, which is coupled to the lower end of the speedometer driv ing cable. A speedometer driven di rectly from the rear wheels, or indi rectly from the drive shaft between the transmission and rear axle, is less accurate, ot only because of tire oversize due to anti-skid tread, but also because rear wheel slippage is recorded, in addition to distance actually traveled or the speed at which the car is actually running.

CURTAIL CERTAIN EXCESSTIRE SIZES Use Less Rubber So as to Give Larger Shipping Space Asked regarding government re strictions on the Importation of rub ber and the endeavor of tire manu facturers In cooperation with the government to restrict the manufac ture of unnecessary tire sizes, J. C. Weston, vice-president and director of sales of the United States Tire Company, said: "The intention of the government In the control and restriction of the Importation of rubber Is to conserve shipping space, and the program that has been laid before the manu facturers of ruober goods has won their unanimous support for the War Trade Board and the Shipping Board. "In addition the manufacturers of •tires are heartily co-operating with the government program for the eventual elimination of unnecessary tire sizes. This elimination will simp lify the problem for each user of the motor car of reducing his cost and making it possible for him to secure tire size he needs, in good tires, more readily than the market and manufacturing conditions now per mit. "Plans for the withdrawal of cer tain tire sizes from use by manu facturers of motor cars will not In any way interfere with the manu facture and distribution of the tires ito users who need those particular I sizes at any time." Mr. Weston was very insistent In |in his statement that there Is noth ing in the present or probable future situation to occasion the slightest apprehension of a shortage of tires > for legitimate use. I "However, there never was a >time,' he said, "when users of motor i cars could so well serve the nation ■ as by making the most of their cars lln legitimate commercial and pas isenger service and refusing to hoard ior unnecessarily anticipate their needs in tires or other motor car i supplies." Mr. Weston called attention to the fact that the government has not at the present time imposed any restric tions on the use of motor cars by the automobilists of the country, but has relied on the patriotism of the car owners to exercise a proper discre tion in the use of their vehicles, with a view to conserving their cars and tires. Mr. Weston Is of the opinion that the motorists of the country can be trusted to cut down mere pleasure riding to a minimum and to take every possible step to save tires, oil and gasoline. Lubrication Important in the Use of a Car When overhauling a car the wise motorist will not overlook the slight est chance for a needed repair or replacement Especially now that a shortage of both new and used cars is certain, the greatest care In keep ing the car in good running order is imperative. Some of the most important parts of a car and the parts most sus ceptible to wear if not properly watched, are the bearings, gear ing failures are usually due either to improper adjustment.or improper lubrication. One of the first rules of bearing lubrication is that the lu bricant must not contain any water, acid, alkali or any kind of abrasive. Such substances will greatly affect the highly polished surfaces of races, balls and rollers. According to engineers of the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, the most satisfactory bearing lubricant Is their mixtures of oils or grease and graphite. Selected flake graphite is used in Dixon's Graphite automo bile lubricants because of its ability to fill up minute holes in the pol ished surface of the bearings. It is said of flake graphite thus said as a lubricant, that "the more it is rubbed, the smoother it becomes." The oil or grease is used more or less as a vehicle "to carry the graphite to the surface of the con tact. 200 Will Train at Princeton University For Y Work to Aid Allies Two hundred men, successful lawyers, physicians, businessmen, clergymen, actors and other profes sional and mercantile "aces," will go to Princeton University Monday to undergo a week's intensive training in preparation for work overseas as Y. M. C. A. secretaries with tlte American expeditionary forces. Twice each month 200 men of ap proximately the same caliber are sent to Princeton's intensive train ing camp, to put In a week of what every man of them has declared to be the hardest but most delightful work he has ever done in his life. Not a few of the 200 range In age all the way between 3 5 and 50, and some of them have never before in all their lives, done a day's athle tics. Already 2,800 T. M. C. A. men have passed through Princeton's in tensive training camp to the front, and as Pershing's Army grows. It is expected that this army of "aids to the armies of the Allies," will in crease with equal space. REV. W. B. COOKE TAKES CP NEW DUTIES The Rev. William B. Cooke, a for mer pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Steelton and who occu pied the pulpit of the Market Square Church several months, has just been installed as pastor of the Falls of Schuylkill Presbyterian Church. Mr. Cooke will be well remembered by many Harrlsburg people as he was a resident of this city for a consider able period. GRADUATES DINED The Susquehanna township High school class of 19X8, which was graduated on Tuesday evening at a class dinner in the dining room of the Senate Hotel, on Wednesday evening, had as their guests several membcts of the faculty and several members of the township school board.

Know How to Describe Your Car; Thwart Thieves Police Departments and Insurance Companies are constantly on the alert and have been very successful In breaking up the organized groups of automobile bandits which exist throughout the country, but it is surprising how few motor car own ers can describe their own cars. There are certain things every motorist should know and be able to furnish the authorities on a mo ment's notice. The Velie Motor Cor poration advise every driver to ac quaint himself with the following data pertaining to his car. In addition to a general descrip tion of your car. Its make, color, capacity, peculiarities, etc.. be able to give the license and motor num ber—in fact, all numbers which appear on the different units. Be able to describe the top, whether carried up or down, description of tires, make, size, tread and serial numbers. The car equipment and any special marks which may exist In places unknown to others than yourself. Any Velie agent will gladly potnt out to Velie owners the location of just such identification marks. No doubt other dealers will do the same. "Know your car" is a good slogan to have in mind at all times. A Thought For the Automobile Salesman B. G. Koether, Manager Hyatt Roller Bearing Co., Detroit, has an intensely human way of putting over plain truths, as was evidenced re cently when he remarked to a group of Hyatt salesmen: "That last call—- the one you want to put off until to-morrow, because it's six blocks out of the way—the one you don't (think will be worth while anyway— Is always the one that is best after all. Isn't that so?" If you have plating or polishing work to be done, phone ua or drop us a card, or, better still, drop In and see for yourself the quality of the work we turn rfut.

APPLICATION OF MOTOR POWER IS MOST IMPORTANT Test Demonstrates Effective ness of Four-Wheel Drive Principle "Haulage ability Is not a question of how much power is developed by the engine, but of power distribu tion and application," asserted H. M. Lee. president of the Duplex Truck Company, of Lansing, Mich. "We recently demonstrated," con tinued Mr. Lee, "that the front wheel drive Is more effective than the rear wheel drive, and at the same time substantiated our claims that the four-wheel drive principle Is superior to either the rear or front wheel drive. "During the excavating for the foundation of a local factory, the ex cavated material was hauled away with a Duplex 4-wheel drive truck. The runaway from the pit to street level was xather more than a S3 per cent, incline, which—together with the fact that the truck was hauling 8,000 pounds loads—was a severe test of the pulling ability of the 31-2- ton truck. "To settle a matter then in ques tion. tjie contractor decided to satisfy himself which represented the great est hauling factor—front wheel pull or rear wheel push. He disengaged the front wheel drive shaft, in conse quence of which the Duplex had no more and no less hauling power than ordinary rear drive trucks of the same rated capacities. But the load and the incline proved too much for the rear wheel push, the truck re fused to budge. "Then the front wheel drive shaft was engaged and the rear wheel shaft disengaged. With only the front wheels at work 2 the Duplex truck negotiated the incline without difficulty. "On a second trip, under Identical conditions, the truck was stopped half way up the incline, then started again, and as before, it made the bal ance of the grade without a hitch. "The test thoroughly demonstrat ed the effectiveness of the four-wheel drive principle and perhaps makes it more readily understood why the government favored four-wheel drive trucks in its recent order for motor vehicles to be used in army service." Four Season Coupes Takes With Motoring Public "The new Dort Fourseason Coupe won public favor so quickly that the scheduled production of the factory for the year was exhausted in a few months,' says E. C. Ensminger, Dort distributor. "The Fouseason Sedan is in even greater demand, but fortunately the factory foresaw this and provided for it Buyers look ahead nowadays as never before and many of them are buying fouseason Dorts with a view to utility. They look for com fort In the same car—this summer and next winter." E-Passenger Touring $865 8-Passenger Clover-Leaf (QCC Roadster Ensminger Motor Co. THIRD and CUMBERLAND STS.

With traffic tie-ups imposing restrictions on shippers, the Duplex is the logical solution to the transportation problem because its 4-wheel drive principle insures dependability under most extreme weather and road conditions.
