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

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.

the war. Ships now come strag

waterfront the winch is heard
creaking here and there, and the
vision in some of the great sheds is
obstructed by unpretentious stacks

of barrels of Chicago pork, and
there are foodstuffs, clothing and

The American Commission of Re

taj-y conditions there much better
than in other bases which have
achieved greater prestige.
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

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.

Seeks to Prevent
General Strike of
Scranton Workers
By Associated I'rcss.
Scranton, Pa., May 7. —With the
arrival here yesterday of Commis
sioner John J. 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.

Altoona Man, Absent 39
Years, to Be Decreed Dead
Altoonu, Pa., May 7. —Absent from
Altoona thirty-nine years and not
having been heard from in eleven
years, steps have been taken to
have Michael F. Wyrough declared
legally dead. He is entitled to a one
sixth interest in the personal estate
of his mother, the late Ellen C.
Wyrough, his share being $3,800. He
is also entitled to a one-sixth inter
est in real estate valued at
$30,000.
Application for letters of adminis
tration has been made to Judge
Thomas J. Haldridge, and, after
proper advertising, they will be
granted. In 1908 a letter was re
ceived from Wyrough, dated at
Green Hush, Minn. There is no
knowledge of his whereabouts since
then.

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. All druggists la this city and vicinity have a supply oq
hand—sell many packages.
