F. McFarland, president and jjtueral manager of the Harrisburg Automobile distributor for America's First Car. Although the Haynes factory has ; employed a night shift for the past ' three months in addition to the regu- j lar day force, and the production has i been increased to 5,000 cars, the com pany finds it difficult to satisfy the demands of its dealers for cars of the "lij-ht six" type, with the result that a great many dealers have come to the factory and camped on the trail until (heir cars were shipped. And because of the large number of dealers to be j found there any one of these days, vis itors to the Haynes factory secure the impression that a sales convention is in progress. Dealer demand, of course, is created by consumer demand and it is because | of the latter that dealers from every point in the United States have come | to Kokomo in person to wait for their cars, and where the distance is not too urea,, they invariably have driven over land in preference to having the cars go j by express or freight.

Because of the ! efficiency of this motor the car mav! be throttled down to one mile per hour' on high gear, making wear shifting' practically unnecessary, and it is stated .that this car will travel from 22 to 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline.

MECHANICSBURG A Week's Services Will Be Held in Methodist Episcopal Church Special Correspondence. Meehauics'btirg, Oct. I".—'Beginning ' with to-morrow morning a weelk's sorv • vices will be he£bo present and iu the services. Up to this time there has been 1,- 356 hantcrs' licenses issued in t'his , county. At ,ae recent meeting of the South - j ern district of 'Pennsylvania Vetterans' i Association held at heaviest punishment which it will ever be called upon to take. The big I contact area of the friction surfaces, til'.B2 square inches, is not only ample j for tandem or side car work, even on the hardest roads, but for three pas sengers, if necessary. All working parts are protected from dust, oil ami jwater, and, as the dry plate system is used, intense* heat or cold have no ef fect upon the operation of the clutch. A large roller bearing carries the fric tion discs, and eight adjustable springs J regulate the tension, i An addition to the 1915 Indian models, which will be much appreci ated, is the Indian starter. This is of ithe quadrant and pinion typo and is simple yet powerful. Down pressure jon the foot lever brings the quadrant into engagement with the pinion on the clutch and turns the motor throe or four times to each stroke, the clutch being engaged to obtain positive and I full cranking effect. The starting of j the motor can be done without jacking up the rear wheel. j A new magneto, the Dixie, makes | its appearance on this year's Indians, jit is original in design, not merely a variation (if old ideas. Special felt j rings, metal coverings and ingenious ! joints make the mechanism water, dust and oilproof. This magneto is of the true high-tension or jump-spark type land is constructed in such a manner that all parts of the instrument nre 1 readily accessible for inspection. To meet the divided preferences as Jto clutch operation, the Indians this year have a dual interacting clutch control, which allows the rider his choice of hand or foot operation. The clutch operating linkage has also been simplified. What the Hendee Manufacturing Company considers one of the most far-reaching improvements in its man ufacturing facilities was the installa i'on this year of one of the most com plete metal-testing laboratories in the I nited Htates. Here the materials used in making Indian motorcycles are sub jected to the most drastic tests that can be imagined both before and after manufacture. By noting the breaking points of various materials it is possible to select, by elminination, those which are best suited for the strains they will I have to undergo in service. An im portant conclusion reached as a result of these tests was in regard to the use of chrome vanadium steel. It was found tljat this alloy so far surpasses in strength the ordinary carbon steel I for frames and forks that it was at once decided to use chrome canadium in 'tlje manufacture of 1015 models, i Riders of 1915 Indians will, there fore, have, in addition to many me chanical improvements, the assurance of stronger, more durable mounts than lever before.
