RED CROSS FINDS MISSINGSOLDIER Biglerville Boy Found in Hos pital With Fractured Skull and Bullet Wounds Gettysburg*, Pa., April 5. The mystery of Adams county's missing eoldier has been solved. Through the home service department of the Red Cross an Investigation has been conducted for some time to find the whereabouts of a young man whose home is at Biglerville, in order that he may be placed at some vocational training school if he so desires. The soldier boy, whose name is with held from publication, following the plan of the Red Cross in much mat ters, had been overseas for a num ber of months and had taken part in some of the hard battles that were fought while the Allied troops were chasing the Huns slowly but surely out of France. In one of these fights he received a fractured skull and a number of bullet wounds. Taken to a hospital he was later invalided home, but all this was unknown to home folks until one day several months ago a friend of the boys happened to meet a brother living at Biglerville and told him he came to this country on the same boat with him. Nothing had been heard of the soldier for six (months or so in France or since his arrival in this country, and it was feared that pos sibly the injury to his hea<| had caused a temporary lapse of his rea soning powers and he was wandering aimlessly around. The home service department took the matter up and after much trou ble have located the boy, although discharged, in the Naval Hospital at Norfolk, Virginia. JUDGE XV.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS I Local Topics of Interest to Motorists By ALFRED P. DA VIES CLEVELAND TO HARRISBURG VIA. PITTSBURGH IN HIGH A feat that has not often been ac complished and one that requires con siderable knowledge of the fine points of driving is that of coming from Cleve land Ohio via Pittsburgh to this city. This feat however was accomplished last Saturday and Sunday by Andrew Redmond, the local distributor of Chand ler touring cars and Vim trucks, in a Chandler stock roadster. During show week Mr. Redmond sold every Chandler car he had in stock and took several orders that required fill ing at once which rftade necessary a trip to Cleveland, the home of Chand ler cars, in order to drive in several cars. It was on this trip that Mr. Redmond himself, driving the Chandler roadster, made the remarkable record of coming over the mountains between here and Pittsburgh and the muddy roads of southern Ohio without once shifting into second or low in the many long and tedious pulls that is neces sary to take in the drive. Leaving Cleveland around 1.30 p. m. Saturday and staying In Pittsburgh over night, Mr. Redmond arrived in Harris burg Sunday afternoon. The roads be tween here and Pittsburgh are in good shape and the day was ideal for a rec ord-breaking run. During bis stay in Cleveland, Mr. Redmond visited the Chandler factory and conversed with several of the high officials. Optimism is the keynote at the Chandler factory and they are work ing day and night to keep up with the tremendous demand for Chandler cars. At the present time it is hard to get Chandlers, due to the fact that a change is being made in body designs that will make the Chandler more popular than ever. Up to date Mr. Redmond has more than oversold his allotment of cars and is patiently awaiting his turn to get shipments of the new designs. In the course of a few weeks the Chand ler factory will make an announce ment that will be a weloome one to the touring public, but at present will not disclose just what this announcement will be. OAKLAND AGENCY ESTABLISHED IN THIS CITY Announcement was made recently that the Dauphin Motor Car Co., with offices at 11 South Third street, and a service station at 125 Cherry street, had been appointed Central Pennsyl vania distributors for the famous Oak land light six. The Oakland is a well known car In this territory having been sold here until recently by Andrew Redmond who relinquished the agency around the first of January. The appointing of the Dauphin Motor Car Company as the distributor will be welcomed by the many owners of Oaklands as well as the many people who are favorable to the Oakland car. A. C. Allen, a well known local auto mobile man Is the manager of the Dau phin Motor Car Co., and will exert every effort to put the Oakland across strong in this territory. At the present time he has several of the popular models on hand for immediate delivery and has a fully equipped repair station to take care of all Oakland service. LOCAL APPERSON DEALER PUTS IN SOME CLAIM FOR PREFORMANCE OP HIS CAR "The Apperson Eight, the eight with eighty less parts, demonstrated that it can accelerate on high from 1 to 40 miles an hour in 20 seconds; stop dead at a speed of 40 miles per hour In 4 seconds within 40 yards; and turn com pletely around within a space of 38 and a quarter feet." That is the claim made by the Key stone Sales Company, the local dis tributors for Apperson Cars In an an nouncement on another page of to-day's paper. And by golly we believe they can live up to it for we had a ride in an Apperson driven by Mr. Grove Bome time ago and believe me the Apperson is some car and Mr. Grove is some driver. Mr. Cowden and Mr. Grove just re turned from a tour through the northern tier countries where they were visiting Apperson representatives. They used an Apperson Anniversary Eight and in every town where they stopped the crowds gathered around the car to ad mire it. Although a new car that had not yet been broken in. some remarkable gas and oil mileage was obtained. HARRISBURG TO PHILADELPHIA VIA.

Ontario, in connec tion with daylight saving. The Can adian parliament refused to grant daylight saving and the Lincoln county council opposed it, so all government and county officers are working on the old time, including the ccunty courts. The postoffice and the customs office clock on the courthouse, which building Is own ed by Saint Catharines, but leased to the county for its offices and which is the only tower deck in the city, continues to tick along an hour behind the whole population of the city. Letter carriers and post office clerks are compelled to work an hour extra to look after the early morning mails. . To-day Secretary Yates, of the board of trade, was notified that there was likelihood that the Canad ian railways would have to go back to old time, having changed time without permission. If the railroads go back the rest of Canada likely will, too. A message was sent to Ottawa to Jaces D. Chaplin, member of parlia ment for this country, urging him to pull hard for letting railways stay on the daylight saving basis.—From the Buffalo Express. TRAIN KILLS WOMAN AND SON Elkton. Md., April 5. —William Al len Taylor, thirty years old. of near Fairhill, was killed almost instantly, and his mother. Mrs. William Taylor, of this city, so badly injured that she died shortly after being admitted to Union Hospital here, as a result of being struck by a westbound train on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, last, evening. HABJRIBBUR6:IAiA( TELEGRAPH Much Regret Expresed in , the Passing of I. W. Dill i Bl i i i THE LATE I. W. DILL Never has the news of a death been so keenly felt nor so much regretted in automobile circles as that of the sud den passing of I. W. Dill, one of the oldest and best known dealers in Cen- j tral Pennsylvania. Like a flash out of i a clear sky came the news of the mis-1 fortune that befell Mr. Dill in a fire in j the storage rooms which he used as a warehouse on South Cameron street. At the hospital where he was removed, hope was held out for his recovery, and then a week later the news of his having passed away, was a great shock to his host of friends. Mr. Dill had won much prominence and was recognized as a leader in the automobile business In this city. For years he had been identified In every movement that meant for the better ment of the motor Industry In all its phases. He was a member of the Har risburg Motor Dealers Association and lent all his efforts toward making it the strong organization it is to-day. As a special honor to Mr. Dill this associa tion attended his funeral In a body, more than forty members being present. In his offices at the east end of the Mulberry street bridge are many tro phies that are a testimonial of the many activities of this prominent motorist; trophies that he won in endurance and sociability runs In the early days of motoring before the war. It was al ways a hobby of Mr. Dill's to enter a machine that was tuned up to the min ute and this fact coupled with hia care ful driving usually brought him out a winner. Of late years Mr. Dill devoted his en tire time to the wholesaling of trucks and tractors. He was the Central Penn sylvania jobber and distributor of the famous Republlo and Day-Elder trucks and the Reed tractor. He handled dur ing the course ef his long career many of the popular cars of to-day and it was through his efforts that so many of them became as well known In this territory as they are. At the time of his death Mr. Dill was the third oldest dealer from point of service In the city. NOTHING LIKE TRYING Uncle Sam Hodge came down from the Kentucky mountains with his yearly produce to market. His team of oxen was somewhat weary with a two days' pull. But when Sam reached the city limits he was confronted with the sign: "Speed limit, fifteen miles an hour." lie pulled his whiskers a moment in silent meditation, and then drawled out to his oxen: "Well, I know durn well we'll never make it, hut we'll do our doggone best." — From Everybody's Magazine.
