THE MAYNES COMPANY LIGHT 6 CABRIOLET ■ ■ : n "l-'or winter and summer driving, | in rain or shine, for a ,jaunt through \ the country or a trip to the theatre, ; the cabriolet is the ideal ear for gen- | oral utility." states Geo. P. Mc.Farland, i of the llarrisbiug Auto Company, dis- ' tributors in this territory for the j Haynes, America's first car. "In response to the great demand for a cur of this type the Havnes coin ' pany has announced a light six cabrio let. "Because of its many advantages the cabriolet is destined to become very popular.

The easy riding quality of tiie car is enhanced by extra long springs, half elliptic in front and 53-inch t'hree-quar ter elliptic in the rear. The rear springs are slung under the axle aud work on swivel seats, allowing the maximum freedom of motion, the siprings only be ing required to support the weight of the car ami are riot called upon to take the driving strain of the rear wheels as in some cars of other design. An innovation which adds much to the simplicity of c-oration is ths neat electrical switch box.

Provision lias been made whereb-v the switches may be locked either on or oft'. The wires leading from the s.\itch box are c:i closed in a single casing, and are easily traced as insulation is of an individual color. Witfb this construction the steering column is anchored at two separate points—to tho frame and instrument board. The latter fastening, placed so close to the wheel, holds it securely and eliminates ail vibration at any speed. This adds materially to the east of oper ation. The exterior appearance of the car is essentially plain and simple, suggesting character and stability in proportion to the severity of the lines.

Origin of "Navvy" Workers | The seventeenth century canals or navigations gave rise to the "navvy,'V a term very slowly evolved from ''nav gy tor.'' There arc many country pub li • houses in England still existing that testify to the navvy's early designation on their sign, "The Navigators' Arms," which depicts a brawny laborer with a spade in one hand and a foam I irig pot of beer in the other. But I you may search England through and i through and you will not find a "Nav jvy's Anns.'' Curiously enough, while I the navvy who makes our roads now ; obtained his designation from digging j out canals, the canals were all legally | classified as roads in a great bodv of ! statutes—the "roads acts."

New Record Hung Up Tor Run From 1 Oakland to Lake Tahoe and Back • Remarkable Motor Car Achieve ment on Coast The Pacific coast is buzzing over a I recent motor car achievement which is | said to far eclipse anything in the way j of a spectacular demonstration of j roadabilitv that has yet been recorded I in that section of the country. A new | record has been hung up for a run j from Oakland to Lake Tahoe and back i the distance, 458 miles of hard, give' and take going, having been covered I by a 1915 Paige stock "36" touring! car in 15 hours and 17 minutes elapsed time. This record, which California writ-! ers say is bound to stand for some j time to come, is duly attested by join-1 petent witnesses who took the time of arrival and departure, and the Paige I has been awarded the Lynne Stanley | perpetual challenge cup offered by an j Oakland merchant. The test was tried out under the j auspices of Don Lee, one of the coun try's best known distributors. Mr, Lee recently took on the Paige line for j California and his purpose in going! after the Stanley cup was to demon strate in a convincing manner the truth of the claims he makes for Paige | staunchness, reliability and general I readability. The Paige "36" left Oakland at 11.30 in the morning, an automobile newspaper editor taking their time. They arrived at Tallac, Lake Tahoe, at 10.55 a. m. and in thirteen minutes, I just time enough for an authority to! record their time, they were on the return journey, reaching Oakland, at the point from which they started, at 6.48 p. m. Anticipating the hardships and se verity of making this trip in record time it was deemed necessary that four experienced drivers make up the cars crew. It was a case of "turn-about" at the wheel for even an old hand soon became exhausted piloting the dashing car along rugged and treacherous mountain trails at high speed. Not a particle of mechanical trouble j was experienced, and not a puncture j suffered. Only those who are familiar | with the country traversed in this 458 j mile drive, can appreciate just what it i means to make this record.

Messrs. Pollock and Wolf have been writing together for manv sea sons and they have » notable iist of plays to their credit. In fact their as sociation is the one instance which can at present be recalled in which two American authors have successfully collaborated on more than one suc cessful piece. There has been much curiosity as to how the authors work together and which author writes cer tain scenes, but they are wise young men and both take the glory only in conjunction with one another.'They are not going to let the public into the sec ret of their methods if they can help it. Mr. Pollock was first a newspaper man, then a press agent, and at last, an author. Mr. Wolf has long been one of the best known newspaper men in the country and in addition, has an established reputation as an after din ner wit. a , )v> At the Orpheum After tonight, Miss 'Ruth Rove, easily the most popular girl who has appeared on the vaudeville stage this season; we miss Bart McHugh's rat tling juvenile musical comedy called "The Lawn Party;" also the wonder ful Arabian tumblers and four or five other acts of considerable reputation and talent. Nat M. Wills, the happy tramp, seems almost sufficient in an nouncing next week's headliner. The name of Mr. Wills is known all over the civilized world and everywhere he appears he is hailed as the "king of funmakers." And while this will Ire Mr. Wills' first lonal appearance in vaudeville, it will not be his first visit in ITarrisburg for it will be recalled that he was the star of Ziegfeld's Fol lies, when that organization appeared at the Majestic theatre last season. Nat is a genius of humor with a treas ury rich in comicalities and almost every performance finds his mirth run ning along new lines. Homer Mason and Marguerite Keel er and company, who presented a com edy sketch called "In and Out" at the Orpheum .about three seasons ago, re turn next week in their newest offer ing called "Married." "In and Out." when it appeared at the Orpheum was declared by critics to be the best com edy playlet ever shown at the Or pheum. It will be remembered that the scene constantly shifted from the out side of the house to the inside and the theme dealt with a drunken hus band of the better class coming home to his wife, who has fallen asleep at her fireside while waiting his return. Mr. Mason's monologue with the "lit tle key" on the front door steps was an especially clever bit of the act. A wealth of big Keith names are grouped around these two big acts. adv. ] At the Colonial "How Jack l-ioved Jill," is the title of a breezy ami clever musical comefly that heads the bill at the Colonial for the last half of the week. About tiie daintiest pony ballet that has been seen in Harrisburg for many a ■ lav constitute the chorus of the play let. The theme is novel, even if it is old. anil the principal players are es pecially pleasing. Ford, Hayes anil Watts do a clever mixture of sonj:, dance, piano playing and e\ en a few clever acrobatics; the Devon Sisters are a nifty pair in a song and dance specialty and Harry and Augusta Tyr pin have something new in a corned* skit with singing. The Colonial's mov ing picture features are also receiving much favorable comment among pa trons of the Busy Corner. adv. WHEN A MAN LIES He Breathes Differently From When H# Tells the Truth When you are telling a lie von breathe differently from when vou arc telling the tru'tih. T'he difference was discovered by means of some tests made upon liis students 'bv Processor Benussi of Graz. He prepar<i<l cards bearing letters, figures and diagrams and distributed these among his pupils. These were requvred to describe the cards correctlv. except in certain cases when the cards were marked with a red star and the students receiving them were required to describe them falsely. Each student was watched carefully by his fellows, who, ignorant-of the nature of the card, tried to .judge from his manner whether he was telling tho truth or not. The watchers were unable to judge with anv certainty. But before each man began his test, the time occupied in inspiration and expiration was measured, and the mea> urement was taken again itmmediatelv after he finished. It was found that the utterance of a false statement alwavs increased and the utterance of a true statement always diminialhed, the quotient obtained by dividing the time of inspiration by the time of expira tion. Dr. Anton 'Rose, 'commenting in Die Umschau on these results remarks that the discovery furnishes a certain cri terion between truth and falsehood. For even a clever lmr is ii'kely to fail in au attempt to escape detection 'by breath ing irregularly, Professor Benusai ha v. ing discovered that men are unaible vol untarily to change their respiration so as to affect the result. G-UAB.DING THE DIAMONDS Thousands of Miles of Barbed Wir# Inclose Kimberley's Mines Machinery and barbed wire have supplanted the rude methods of break ing up diamond bearing blue earth and protecting the valuable finds omploved twenty years ago in the South African diamond mines. Thedepths of the strange, crater shaped hole in which the peculiar dia mond bearing earth is confined ara now penetrated by shafts, reaching hundreds of feet down into the earth, with forty foot levels. The broken earth is removed in closed trucks to the surface, where, after a season of exposure to sun and atmosphere strewn on the ground, it is hauled to the mills. Here pulsators finally locate the dia monds on grease covered inclined ta bles, to which the diamonds adhere, while loose sand, earth and gravel are washed away by water. Acres of ground covered by broken earth brought up from the mines con tain possibly millions of dollars' worth of gems, and these treasure troves are protected by high fences of barbed with, with intricate arrangements at the corners and at the gates. About 4,000 miles of wire are used in the de fenses about t'he Kimberle.y mines. New York Press. Just Practicing "Sou, you mustn't carve your name on the piano.
