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. It may be converted from a
roadster to a coupe or vice versa in
less than a minute's time by a person >
within the car.

POWERFUL BRAKES ARE ON
ALL THE OVERLAND MODELS
Easy Eidina; Quality of Car Enhanced
by Extra Long Springs—Neat Elec
trical Switch Box Is an Innovation
to Popular Car
Or/ all Overland models, the brakes
are large and powerful, with a braking
surface ample for ain 11ii heavier car,
proving a factor of safety much appre
ciated by the driver.
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. This control is
attached to the steering column just be
low the IS inch black walnut wheel,
placing ignition, lighting, starting ami
horn controls within comfortable reach
of the driver's hand. 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. It has a roomy
streamline body with long sweeping
curves, leading in tin unbroken line
fm;n the radiator to the full belled ton
neau ha-T.

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." But what

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. The route
across the state over the hazardous
roads of the Sierra Nevada mountains,
with all sorts of roads and grades and
miles of ruts, holes and dust, is a dif-

"A Perfect Lady"
(-'banning Pollock and Rennold Wolf
are the authors of "A Perfect Lady."
the new play in which Rose Stahl will
appear at the Majestic, Fridav even
nig. 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.
