TIMELY LOCAL FEATURES OF INTEREST TO AUTOISTS
BY ALFRED E. DA VIES, AUTO EDITOR.
lfarrisburg Company is groins to do this
evening' with a standard model 90 Over
land. This ear as has been announced
in another part of to-day's and yester
day's papers is a regular stock ear. no
special equipment whatever. It will be
put in high gear and sealed so that
i there can be 110 changing during the
| entire drive.
I A big dial in the window of the Hur
risburg Telegraph will tell just what

1 it is doing better than the Oklahoma
j ear did when it broke the world's rec
ord.
j Tills is some test and will be watched
| with interest by every owner and deal
ler in the country. What will be the
| outcome is told in a few words from
| Carl Hanson, the president of the Over

; ing to smash their record and go it
i about a hundred and fifty miles better.

HORRORS—THERE WAS A
TRAFFIC COP OCT IN
| THE RAIN THURSDAY
I Crossing Second and Walnut streets,
I Thursday during the downpour of rain
j that made everything so sunny and
j cheerful what was my surprise to see
I an honest to goodness traffic cop stand-
ing in the middle of the street directing |
traffic. And he had a real rain coat
and helmet on too. That's the 'dope.
Every one of the traffic cops should be
cn the post of duty every minute of the
time when it is raining.
One fellow at a most prominent cor
ner explained Thursday that as it was
raining so hard the street wasn't slip
pery nor the windshield's blurred; that
it look a misty rain to cause those con
ditions and that anyhow traffic was only
about half what it is on clear days.
While I was talking to him it was
my impression that he was very much
needed on the street for there were sev
eral trucks and touring cars and a
street car all trying to go in different
directions at one time and none of tliem
succeeding very well. Perhaps some
day we'll have real traffic regulations
in this man's town.

ANDY REDMOND ENJOYED
TRIP IN THE CLOUDS
From a pioneer In the automobile
business in Harrisliurg, it looks as
though Andy Jtedmond, the well known
Chandler and Vim distributor Is the

And Andy thought it was great, The

graphio way just what Andy thought

ing now, lie plight get an agency from
some well known niaka of aeroplane

two hundred of his name cards and on
three of them ho had a special mark
all his own and for tho return of those
cards he is offering five dollars each.
These cards, he says, was distributed
somewhere between Market and Maclav
and the River and Seventh Street,

(one piece) rims; they are sometimes
used also on Quick Detachable Clincher
rims. When used on Regular Clincher
rims, it is desirable for sizes including
the 4 inch and above, to use clips or
stay bolts to hold beads securely in rim
clinches. When using Regular Clin
cher tires on Quid; Detachable Clincher
rims, it is necessary to use flaps to
protect the inner tubes.
Quick Detachable Clincher cases have
non-streteliuble bends and can only be
used on Quick Detachable Clincher rims

This style of tire should always be
equipped with flaps.
Straight Side or straight bead eases

This style should always be equipped
with flaps. Straight Side tires are some
times used on Quick Detachable Clin

clinches of rims. This is not to be
recommended, however, as the base
width of this style of rim is not suit
able for Straight Side tires.

j The brief, prepared by So'ieitor

ONE THIRD OF
LOAN IS TAKEN
Need for Funds is to be Car
ried to Every Person
in U. S.
Washington, Slay 3 —More than
one-third of the Victory Liberty
loan has been subscribed on the
basis ol' tabulations made last night
by the treasury. Subscriptions total
more than $1,500,0u0, 000.
The need of the government for
funds to bring the war to a success
ful conclusion will be carried di
rectly to every person in the United
States who can be readied, as a
result of the slowness of the public
in volunteering subscriptions to the
Victory Liberty loan.
Latcss figures compiled by the
Treasury Department to-night
showed $191,347,600, less than one
third of the loan quota, subscribed.
Individual subscriptions in nearly
every reserve district were said to
be running far sliort of those in
previous loans, apparently indicat
ing that the public was not awake to
the necessity for raising the full $4,-
500,000,000 asked for in order to
bring the men back from overseas,
