Local Firm Makes Announce
ment of Securing the
New Line
Announcement was made a day or
eo ago that the Harrisburg Motor
'Car company, 104 South Fourth
street, has secured the agency for
this territory for the famous Daniels
Eight Cars. These cars are among
the better grade cars and are made
in several different models, covering
practically every use to which a
motor car can be put. [
The Daniels is made by the Dan- .
iels Motor Car company, at Detroit
and has been on the market for a j
number of years. It has never been
represented in Harrisburg before but
is sure to be among the winners
While it has been used ex
tensively in the larger cities, it is
fast being adopted in cities the size
of Harrisburg where motorists are !
getting awake to the many advan
tages of the high class cars.

SATURDAY EVENING,
A.C.A.MAKES TEST j
OF GASOLINE AND
BENSOL MIXTURE
Made to Ascertain H. P. Rat
ing and For Carbon
Deposit
In recent test made by the Auto
mobile Club of America gasoline and
a mixture of gasoline and bensol as
fuel for automobiles, disclosed soma
interesting features. The tests were
made to determine the relative ef
ficiency between the two products.
They were held in the laboratories
of the club in New York City and
| were under supervision of the chem
t ists and engineers of the club.
A four-cylinder N Continental mo
j tor 3 3-4-inch bore by 5-in stroke
(220.9 cubic inch piston displace
ment attached to an electric cradle
dynamo-meter was used. The motor
was provided with a Stromberg
model L. B. 2 carburetor, Bosch DU
4 magneto and Titan A C spark plugs
j the points of which were set at .015
inches apart. Before each test was
' begun on a different fuel, the motor
j was thoroughly cleaned, and after
J each test the condition of the carbon
I was noted. 1
; Straight gasoline showed 12.4 H. P.
!at SSO revolution per minute, and
31.1 H. P. at 2042 R. P. M. Straight
bensol showed 18.9 H. P. at 824 R.
P. M. The mixture, which was about
I three-quarters bensol and one-quar
>ter low grade gasoline showed 13.S
IH. P. at 647 R. P. M. and 32.2 H. P.
jat 2034 R. P. M. This showed that
j bensol gave a higher brake horse
| power throughout the speed range
jthan ti was possible to attain with
j commercial gasoline. The amount
iof fuel consumed show, gasoline .122
1 gallons per brake horsepower, ben
: sol .107 gallons per brake horse
' power and the mixture showed .109
j gallons per brake horsepower.
I The general condition of the mo-
I tor showed that after the gasoline
i test there was very little carbon de
: posit, the same in the mixture test
and hardly any that was noticeable
| after the bensol test. In the test of
'the bensol and the mixture the car
-1 buretor was set to give a leaner mix
iture and the timing was set 12 de-
I srees after dead center whereas in
j the gasoline test it was set at dead
! center. Better results were shown
: with the carburetor and timing set
at that positon in the bensol and
mixture test.
The mixture of bensol and gasoline
ils being commercialized in this ter
| ritory by the Great Western Oil
i Company under the name of Crystal
j Pep. This product Is practically the
I same as the mixture in'the tests that
were made in New York.
HARRISBURG'S NE W DRIVE IN GASOLINE SERVICE STATION

Electricty Best

Thousands of Farm Homes Already Have Electric Plants.
Satisfied Users Influence Farmers in Buying
A traveler through the country to
day notices one thing more than any i
other, and that Is the number of j
farms where electric service is now i
used.
A few years ago, three or four at •
most, the coal-oil lantern and lamp I
and the long-handled wooden pump, |
which stood in the barnyard, and
froze up soiid every winter, were j
symbols of the farm, just as the i
street car and the department store j
ore. symbols ..*• the city. With the;
| farm were associated ideas of old- j
fashioned ways of doing things, of!
I hard work and long hours.
But what a change has taken !
place!
Drive out into the country at night;
and look at the farm houses you!
pass. In a great many of them, in
. mat Used to!
come from one or two windows, or j
the bobbing point of light' '* that i
marked a lantern being carried up I
to the house from the barn, you will I
sec the whole place brigntly lighted.
Drive into the barnyard. Instead ot
waiting while someone nt the house
lights a lantern and comes out,
you'll suddenly find the whole yard
flooded with light from an electric
lamp on a pole in the center of the
yard, or perhaps on a corner of the
barn. And when your host comes
out you'll find that he has turned on
! the yard light from inside the house,
j Then he'll take you through the
.house and barns and show you what|
| a difference electricity can make on ;
the farm.
As you go through the countfy you j
will find a surprisingly large nuin-I
ber of farms electrically equipped.
, Ar.d nearly all of this equipment has j
been put in within the last three or j
four years. One manufacturer alone j
announces "over seventy-five thou-j
sand satisfied users," a surprising i
fact, in view of the farmer's we Ul
known tendency to make a long and j
thorough investigation before he
buys anything in the way of farm
equipment
What, then, is the reason for this
rapid increase in the rural use of
electricity? Simply this, that elec
tricity has proved to be wonderfully
useful on the farm. Much more so,
in fact, than in city homes.
Electric light is not only superior
to all others as a light, but is mucli
more convenient, much safer, and, in
farm usage, save a great amount of j
time. The difference between turn
ing a switch at the house and light
ing a lantern has already been men
tioned, and this greater convenience
is found throughout.' Upstairs lights
can be switched on from the lower
hall, and even the barn may be light
ed from the house.
This convenience effects a great
saving of time. The daily cleaning
and filling of lamps is no longer nec
essary. There is no walking from
barn to house to get a lantern. And
in the barn itself, it is found that
the well-placed electric lamps, make
every movement surer and faster,

| All of this electric service is en

i with practically no bother. The best
j of the farm electric plants show a
I very low running cost and are prac-
I tically trouble proof. Their engines
| are cooled by air. which does away
with fhe trouble of carrying water
and the danger of over-heating or
freezing. They burn kerosene for
fuel. Direct connection of the gen
erator and engine, automatic lubri
cation. self cranking and self stop
ping are other features of up-to-date
lighting plants, which makes them
easy to care for and operate. And
of course , with each engine and gen
erator is a storage battery which
furnishes light and power at all
j times of the day and night whether
j the generator is running or not.
I Where the plant has been properly
I designed and made, the owner is as
| sured of satisfactory service. And
he's not slow to tell his neighbors
[ about the kind of satisfaction he's
j getting. The result is that where
j one good plant goes into a rural
| community it is usually followed by
i several more. That there are reli
| able plants on the market is indi
| cated by the figures quoted above,
j And they surely show, too, that the
farmer as a class is taking an inter
est in the subject of electricity lor

MOTOR TRUCKS TO
AID CIVIC PRIDE;
Will Be Big Help in Bettering •
Living Conditions in City
and Country
Co-operation of the Government is
a reality now that the real value of
interurban lines of motor trucks is
rei.lized, for the farmer and for the
city dweller. Motor trucks are going
to be a great factor, according to
Arthur T. Murray, president of the
Bethlehem Motors corporation, Al
lentown, Pa., in developing city
pride and in bettering living condi
i tions, both in the city and in the
country. In the past it been
the custom of inhabitants in districts
off the railroads to concentrate their
buying in towns along the railroads
because of the inability of the small
storekeepers to secure easily and
quickly the goods for sale in their
own towns. All that is changed now
for the motor truck lines are bring
ing direct to the small storekeepers
from the big centers the goods they
want, and bringing the material
daily. The farmer and small town |
Inhabitant do not have to travel now ;
to distant points to find goods want- 1
ed, and pride in the development of
home Industries will assist in build
ing up the ' country stores as noth
ing else could have done. "The
motor truck," said Murray recently,
"has done much in this direction,
and is building up a better social
condition and a community spirit
which portends well for the future.
Improvement of conditions as re-!
gards the merchants and 1 their cus
tomers is not the only great change
of the day. Motor trucks are to-day
making the life of the farmers more
worth while. Few stop to realize
the changes that have come to the
tiller of soil in a few short years.
Take the telephone, the rural free
delivery, the automobile, the motor
truck, the tractor and rural express,
all unknown not so very many years
ago, and there is a combination
which has meant much to the man
who grows the crops so necessary
to existence. Motor trucks have
played an important part in the new
era for the farmer, and with the
construction of great road systems
will add still more to the life of the
man who farms. Where, not so long
ago, he started for the market the
night before and drove plodding
I horses all night long to reach the
| market early In the morning, he
i now enjoys a night of sleep and
I travels the distance in a couple of
| hours and is back again on the farm
i in short order. H:s time is valuable
' and, where highway systems have
been completed, the farmer does not
even go to market, but piles his pro
duce on the loading platform at his
front gate with his city orders, and
then, the trucking company which
has his contract, comes along, takes
away the goods he has to sell and
brings back the goods-sought by him
from the city. With his added time

time to enjoy life with his automo

with which he is in touch by tele

at his door by the mail carrier in
