INTERNAL GEAR
DRIVE TESTS
Big Demonstration of Seven
Different Makes of Motor
Trucks; Various Drives
I. W. Dill, of the Pen Max Auto
Company, local distributor of Re
public Trucks, says: "Ever since the
motortruck received Its well-earned
recogniUon as one of the world's
most efficient methods of transpor
tation, there has been more or less
discussion as to which form of drive
has really proved itself superior. The
various methods of propulsion have
their enthusiastic backers, among
the truck owners as well as manu
facturers. and there are features of
each which, of course, commend
their use."
"Advocates of the Internal gear
drive, and there are legions of them,
have recently had their Judgment
splendidly vindicated in a test that
Included the leading makes of
trucks employing other forms of
drives.
"Seven trucks were demonstrated
recently for the benefit of the Cor
apoiis Livery and Transfer Com
pany, who were the favored bidders
on a contract to haul paving bricks
for a new stretch of road running
out of Corapolis Heights, near Pitts
burgh. From previous experience

Why Worry About Insulation?
There's only one time that you ought ever
to think about insulation—that's when you
buy your battery.
Right then is the time to remember that
Threaded Rubber Insulation is the most im
portant battery improvement in years—and
the greatest trouble-saver.
Remember that it can be had only in the
Still Better Willard Battery.
You'll know the Still Better Willard by the
Mark that stands for Threaded Rubber
Insulation.
Come in and ask about this battery; and
get a copy of the booklet "A Mark with a
Meaning for You."

Ition with motortrucks. Carefully
prepared statistics, Including the dis
tance to be covered, the Cubic yards
of road to be paved and the quantity
of bricks necessary to- complete the
work, and the lenKth of time allow
ed for the completion of their con
tract, suggested the use of two-ton
trucks, with trailers, as likely to be
most efficient.
"Among the motortrucks tested in
competition for this work was a Re
public model 'A' two-ton truck, with
Internal gear drive. The other trucks,
as mentioned above, represented va
rious forms of drives. All of the
trucks pulled three tons of brick up
a hill chosen as a part of the testing
ground, but all used low gear except
the internal gear driven Republic.
The Republic made its way easily up
the grade In second gear. In much
less time and with a very marked
reduction in the consumption of gas
oline.
"But the really remarkable fea
ture of the demonstration, as Mr.
Pannell of the Corapolis concern
himself points out, is the fact that
three of the trucks present had iden
tically the same powered motor, and
the same gear reduction, as the Re
public. To even the casual observer
this would plainly Indicate the high
efficiency of the internal gear drive.
The internal gear drive used on all
Republic trucks, transmits 92 per
cent, of the motor power to the
wheels, which is from 12 to 26. per
cent more than any other form of
drive."
Harrisburg Can Supply
Penbrook With Water Is
Opinion of Dr. Hassler
Harrisburg"s water supply system
could easily supply sufficient addi
tional water to meet the needs of
Penbrook. whose people have started
an agitation for city water, Dr. Sam
uel F. Hassler. superintendent of
Public Safety, says. Penbrook, how
ever, would be first obliged to prove
to the Public Service Commission that
a change in the" water supply is ne
cessary. The supply from the Hum
melstown Consolidated Water Com
pany to the municipal mains could
easily be affected. Dr. Hassler be
lieves. Another means of solving the
Penbrook water problem would be to !
hav e the city extend a main to Pen
brook. to be drawn on only in case j
of emergency such as a fire.
WHERE BATTERY
"SHERLOCKS"
FALL SHORT
It Is Impossible to Tell Condi
tion of Battery by Looking
at It on the Outside
"It anybody looks at the outside
of your battery and tries to tell you
what's going on inside you're safe
In setting him down as a faker," says
Mr. Wlldermuth, • president of the
Front Market Motor Supply Com
pany.
"Not long ago a patron of one
of these battery fortune-tellers drove
up and told me that his plates were
all gone and that he needed a new
battery. I could have sold him one,
too—he was that certain.
"It seems that tht. eon of one of
his neighbors had looked at the bat
tery and made a wild guess.
"After I Inspected the battery I
found that It wasa clear case of un
dercharging caused by a loose con
nection. I added distilled water,
charged the battery and had it
ready a couple of days later In good
condition for service.
"Another man who thought he
was a Sherick Holmes on batteries
fell down because he formed his
conclusion from performance instead
of facts inside the battery. This
fellow thought his plates were short
circuited—that the insulation had
Jailed. The real trouble was that he
had let his machine He Idle, and
had failed to keep the charge up,
so that the plates were so hard that
a long charge was necessary.
The only way to be safe from
these diagnosis sharps is to disre
gard their opinions entirely. If you
suspect there is any trouble the best
! thing to do is to so straight to an
I expert who knows how to make the
! few simple, necessary battery tests.

| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
August 10, 1918.
To the Editor of th* Telegraph:
Some time ago two other news
pupers in Harrisburg printed In their
front pages with large headlines that
the automobile industry was to be
curtailed by a tax being placed by
our government on gasoline to the
amount of ten cents per gallon; and
which article proved to be the cause
of a loss of thousands of dollars to
the people In the automobile busi
ness in territories adjacent to Harr's
| burg.
| The Front-Market Motor Supply
Company endeavored to answer this
I piece of sensational news made out of
pure rumor, and wrote the editor of
these papers, stating that this was
- an injustice to the business; and gave
facts i hat were in defense of the au
tomotive industry.
This was not printed by the papers,
for what reason we do not know, as
they have not even shown the cour
tesy to answer, either by letter, or in
their papers; neither have they re
turned our article. It has since be
come known that this tax will not be
levied, and we have waited in vain
for this paper to give the same prom
inence to the fact that there will be
only a small tax of probably one cent
on gasoline, which will in no way af
fect the operation of business cars
and commercial trucks, but for some
reason, this has not appeared. We
surely thought that they would give
prominence on their first page to the
information that cars were to be tax
ed just about one-half what was first
suggested by the committee at Wash
ington. but they have made no com
ment thereon up to this date.
We think it would be only fair to
any industry that thesq rumors be
published as rumors and suggestions,
and NOT as facts when they know at
the time that they are injuring the
business of those who are solicited
by them for advertising space, which
revenue really pays the expense and
profit of running their paper.
If the public demands that sensa
tional copy. be made out of rumors,
then we think that it should demand
sensational copy made out of facts
that go to contradict these rumors.
We wish to go on record again In
stating that there will not be more
than one cent tax on gasoline, which
will not affect the retail gasoline
price at all; and which is a Just tax,
and should go a long way towards
helping us annihilate the barbarous
Hun. We might add that there will
not be a prohibitive tax on automo
biles.
Tours very truly.

Gears Must Run in
Good Lubricant
"A nerve-racking noise of shifting
gears is one of the worst faults an
automobile can have," says a local
garage man. "It Just spoils a car for
a woman.
"One of the first things a woman
likes about a car is its easy-riding
qualities and one of the first things
she hates about it is the noise. She
wants to have a feeling of luxury
when she Is riding and she gets this
in a quiet, smooth-running car.
"Gear shifts have a bad habit of
developing rasping, rattling noises. It
is one of the most troublesome
parts of the car in this respect. Gears J
must run in a good lubricant made i
especially for the purpose. Ordinary I
grease will not do. It must be some- I
thing that is tough and durable as I
well as smooth. Graphite forms a
coating over the metal and only
prevents metal-to-metal contact, but
serves as a cushion for the enmeshing
gears, deadening the noise. The Jo
seph Dixon Company gets out a
graphite lubricant for this very pur
pose and it works like a charm in
eliminating the noise of shifting ;
gears."
Passenger Cars Used
By Salesmen on the Road
It does not require a great deal of
digging below the surface to prove
the wonderful utility of the passen
ger automobile.
Here is a case in point: The Mu
tual Oil Company, with headquart
ers in Kansas City, has bought with
in the last year 21 Dort cars for the
use of its salesmen who travel the
Missouri and Kansas territory. • It
would, the mangement say, take fo'ur
times as many men to cover the
ground without automobiles.
"The Mutual Company standardiz
ed on Dorts in May 1917," says the
local dealer in Dort cars. "They had
theretofore been using a smaller car
but tried out a Dort and found it
cost less to operate in the large run.
Their 21 cars have made an average
of 23 miles to the gallon.

PEERLESS SHOWS
ADVANCED IDEAS
Is a Combination of Reserved
Power and Economy in
Gas Consumption
"Now that public opinion has set
Its seal on the motor car as an es
sential factor in the development of
| more man power by Its ability to
save time and energy, the next step
to be considered by the manufactur
ers Is to build for combined power and
conservative gasoline use." This was
the recent comment of C. F. Barner,
of the Keystone Motor Car Co., dis
tributor of the Peerless Eight.
"To further explain how this can
be done successfully," continued Mr.
Barner, "the Peerless two power
ranger furnishes the best example.
Here we have the ideal combination
I' n extreme economy at ordinary
I speeds with a reserve force and
j power when the occasion demands.
: For it is a car of contrasts, putting
| to shame the performance of many
a lesser six; even many a four-cylin
der car In the frugality of Its use of
fuel In Its "Loafing Range."
j "Here, for the ordinary every day
! driving, the Peerless performs on half
{ rations, thrifty with fuel and withal
i so soft and agile that It adds new
j delights to motoring.
I "Then let the emergency" arise, the
| call to swift, unhesitating action be
j required. Then quick and true as
| the shaft from the bow, it is away
j like a flash. The vibrant response
| is Instant, like the warrior, scenting
j the call to arms your car Is trans
j formed In a twinkiing. It will gorge
I itself on raptdly vanishing miles, and
easily scale the steepest grade with
out a falter.
"This dual-person|nlity fits aptly
into the spirit of the times. The
Peerless driver may be patriotic in
the conservation of gasoline without
having to sacrifice any efficiency when
occasion demands instant and quick
action. Considering the admirable
performance at the present price, the
Peerless affords a striking example
of the motor car ideally adapted for
present day demands.
"The workmanship throughout
make it unnecessary to have a car
each season. There is this fact to be
borne well In mind, many people are
purchasing cars now and driving them
through so they will be assured of
having their motor needs taken care
of."
Ono-cylinder Cadillac
Helps Out Stalled Cars
Although the Cadillac Motor Car
Company has not built one-cylinder
automobiles since the early days—
-1903 and 1904—it is not at all unusual
for It to hear from owners who are
still running these old cars.
One of the most interesting of such
letters lately received comes from a
man in Washington, who says he
uses his single-cylinder Cadillac in
his sales work among the grocery
jobbers in Washington and Alexan
dria. Va. The car is a 1903 Model A
—one of the first Cadillacs built The
owner writes:
"I am not a mechanic, but I am a
'Jack-of-all-trades' and I keep the
old box so It will run up hill and
down hill and drag anybody out of a
rut that I meet in one, and there have
been some of them.
"Some time ago I met a party on
Capitol Hill with an automobile car
rying four men, and they had broken
their crankshaft. I weigh 220 pounds
and I had my brother with me, who
weighs 265 pounds. I pulled this au
tomobile with four men in it, while
my brother and I were in my old sin
gle-cylinder machine, and I pulled the
whole business over to Anacostia
with no trouble whatever.
"I took these people out over Penn
sylvania avenue, and while people
cheered the old Cadillac, they joshed
the fellows sitting in the big ma
chine.
"I make it a point to help any fel
low who may be broken down on the
road."
"A Car Is as Good as
the Care Given It"
"Much has been said, written and
conjectured about the length of life
of the average car, but X doubt oven
at this day whether there is anybody
that can tell Just how long a car will
last before it outlives Its usefulness,"
says Ephraim Brenner, generul
manager of the M. Brenner & Sons
Motor Company, local distributors of
the Kissel Kar. -
"A car is as good as the care given
It. The best car made will soon GO
to pieces when driven by a persoti
who does not give tt the proper care
and attention. Just because an au
tomobile is made of iron and steel is
no reason why it can be abused and
still .go month In and month out.
And likewise because it is so solidly
and durably built—is no reason why
it can be driven at a breakneck
rate of speed over rough roads, up
'ruty' grades or through rock and
gravel piles.
"It must not be forgotten that
even the big giant locomotives on
the transcontinental railroads—en
gines that weigh hundreds of tons
and built so solidly that they look
as if they could withstand the
pounding of a French 75—are fre
quently overhauled and carefully
taken care of each day.
"Recently we received a letter
from a Kissel owner in the mining
business in Texas. This man is the
third owner of a Kissel Kar, and, as
he states it: 'I cannot tell you about
the early life of this car, but it has
the reputation of being the best car
that ever came to this part of the
country. The speedometer was
taken off when it registered 280,000
miles and it has been in hard serv
ice for four years since then. It has
