8 OVERLAND CAR CUPS OFF MANY MILES IN TEST Bad Accident Does Not Injure Power of Engine; Ahead of Oklahoma Record That the crash that the little Overland ninety encountered Mon day evening shortly before it was due at the control station at the Telegraph building has not impaired Its running qualities in the least is evidenced in the fact that it is not only kolding its own with the Okla homa car that broke tho world's nonstop Jxigh-gear record, but is fast gaining in mileage. Up until 6 o'clock last evening the car had covered 2,131 miles. This was at the Close of the third day of run ning and the car was 290 miles ahead of the Oklahoma car's rec-1 ord, notwithstanding the fact that it lost four hours Monday evening when it was being repaired after its accident. At a special meeting of the judges yesterduy it was decided that the fact that the motor stopped for the fraction of a minute in the crash and was immediately restarted and kept running all the time it was be ing repaired would in no way dis qualify the car in its world's record run. The fact that the motor is still running and that the car is making such splendid mileage shows that the motor was not injured. The writer acted as observer on the 10 A. M. to 2 P. M. turn yester day, when the car was driven by Harley-Davidson Bicycles Are real beauties —you'll be proud of one. too. j j From the tip of the handle-bars to the last bear ing, the Harley-Davidson proves its reputation as "America's Finest Bicycle" just as its big brother, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle proved its great ness in the Big War.

Mr. Hanson to Mechanicsburg by the way of Oyster's Point and re turned back to Oyster's Point and then proceeded over the Carlisle pike to Carlisle, thence over the Walnut Bottom road to Shippens burg und C'hambersburg, then over the mountains through Caledonia Park to Gettysburg and from Get tysburg through Dillsburg and back to ftarrisburg. Practically every kind of road In the country was en countered. Just attar leaving Get tysburg, a detour wfre made over a rough country lane that would try the stamina of a truck wagon, and tho little Overland went through it as slick as a whittle. The motor purred along at a thirty-five-mile clip, up hill and down hill, and many a time a person would think he was riding in a six-cylinder car. It never missed a stroke in the 122 miles It covered on the trip. The gasoline being consumed is staying between the eighteen and twenty miles to the gallon mark. The tires on the car have not held up very well to the severe strain they are encountering, but otherwise the car has not needed any adjust ments outside of the repairs after the accident. The motor has been running without a miss, no spark plugs have been changed and the car is in good shape otherwise. That it will finish its run in fine shape is a foregone conclusion. It may even go further than was originally in tended. Mr. Hanson, when asked yester day when ho wanted to sell that car, remarked that the car would not be sold. After it has finished its run it will bo placed on exhibition in the Overland-Harrisburg Company's salesrooms and that afterward he was going to drive it himself. .At 0 o'clock this morning the car was all ready ahead of the fourth day's record of the Oklahoma car. It has traveled a distance of 2,4 83 miles, while in four days the Okla homa car had traveled 2,462 miles. NEW LIFE IS SLOWLY COMING INTO ANTWERP New American Base Will Make Business For Belgian Port Antwerp, May 7.—Antwerp ap pears to be passing through a pro cess of resurrection, although the tonnage handled since the port was reopened more than three months ago represents that which would ordinarily come through this port in one week during the days prior to the war. Ships now come strag gling in, and along the seven-mile waterfront the winch is heard creaking here and there, and the vision in some of the great sheds is obstructed by unpretentious stacks of bags of American rice and rows of barrels of Chicago pork, and there are foodstuffs, clothing and manufactured articles, most of which, however, is for immediate use. The American Commission of Re lief in Belgium had seventeen steamships in port early in April and the American base for supply ing the American Army of Occu pation in Germany was unloading five others. Shipping men are anxiously awaiting the opening of the Amer ican base at Contich;" about two miles outside of Antwerp on the Malincs road. Barracks are being erected at Contich for the accom modation of 20.000 soldiers at a time. This is expected to inject a little more life into the Antwerp port. The grounds picked out for the American base is a vast plain, dry and well irrigated, and the doughboys will find living and sani NATIONAL BICYCLE WEEK MAY 3 to Oth ■ million more will come into use this to get the greatest good from it this > tar. o spring.

The Americans have taken over some of the piers where North Ger man Lloyd steamships formerly docked. The early work was ardu ous, as the piers were encumbered with gravel imported from Holland by the Germans, ostensibly to re pair roads, but actually to build reinforced concrete shelters, dug outs and trenches. One hundred thousand cubic yards of the gravel had to be removed before the piers could be used. It is estimated the Germans had enough graved there to repair Belgian roads for fifty years. Fifteen thousand longshoremen and stevedores are idle here and the only solution shipping men find when questioned as to how the sit uation can be remedied may be summed up on one word: "Amer ica." Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Sold to Illinois Firm By Associated Press* Washington, May 7.—Camp Colt, at Gettysburg, Pa., has been sold to Lewis Brothers, of Rock Island, 111., according to an announcement of the War Department. In the sale of twelve army camps, forty-four bids were received from thirty-five individuals and corpora tions, the largest single proposal be ing from one large wrecking com pany which offered to take all tho camps for a price approximating $540,000. This proposal was re jected largely because of the desire of the department to turn over to cities adjacent to certain camps, the sanitary and other utilities which could be used advantageously for the benefit of their populations.

Rogers, of the War Labor Board of Washington, steps were at once taken to avert, if pos sible, the threatened strike of forty thousand workers in sympathy with employes of the city department of public works. Mr. Rogers con ferred with representatives of_the I labor unions during the day, but | owing to the absence of Mayor Connell and members of Council from the city nothing definite was accomplished. The city officials will be home to-morrow when a joint meeting will probably bo held. The dispute which threatens to tie up the entire city grows out of i a strike of the city employes in I January. The differences were sub mitted to arbitration, but when the latter made their award the city repudiated part of it on the ground that it was unlawful. It is to force the city to agree to accept this award that the general strike is threatened. Relatives Create Scene When Men Are Convicted Philadelphia, May 7.

A commission of the government MORE RED BLOOD AND STEADIER NERVES FOR RUN DOWN PEOPLE The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous, Keen-Minded, Men and Women It has been said of Americans that they work their habits over time. Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork. By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body tof needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alco holic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women tit to be of help to themselves and others. It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid excesses, Timldness, despondency, fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and. even cowardliness, are due in a large measure to abused nerves. People with plenty of red blood corpuscles and strong, healthy nerves hv. no desire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and support. There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organle disease) in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vi ßorons and energetic in body in a very few weeks and at trifling cost. To become stronr and ambitions, to feel that work is not drndgory; to have steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power of etidaronce; to be'not only a man but as men now go, a superman, you must tako seven tablets of! Dlo-feren every day for seven days—and take them faithfully. Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days tako one only after meal until the supply is exhausted. Then If you feel that any claim made In tills special notice Is untrue—lf your nerves arc not twice as steady as before; it you do not feel ambitious, more vigorous and keen-minded, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to you will gladly hand you back just what you paid for them. Bio-feren Is without doubt the grandest remedy for nervous, rundown, weak, anaemic men and women ever offered direct through druggists and is not at all expensive.
