The car was driven by Andrew Redmond, local agent. It averaged nearly twen ty-seven miles per gallon of gasolino for the trip, one of the best showings ever made here. The official averages give it 26.9 miles per gallon. It was the best showing ma«le of any of the touring cars entered in the run. The entire trip was made with the wind shield up with several passengers in addition to Mr. Redmond. The car is one of the lowest in price entered. Another performance gratifying to Mr. Redmond was that of an Autocar Truck, which had been entered at the last minute. This truck, competing against high class touring ears, aver aged 11.1 miles per gallon of gasolino although no preparations had been made for entering it in the run. It has already covered more than 2,000 miles in service about the city.

WILLYS-GVERLAND PLANT President Announces An Increase of Facilities on the Erection of Two Large Buildings The big plant of the Willys-Oxerlami Company ig to be still further enlarged. John X. Willys, president, has just an nounced that the company will immedi ately erect two large buildings. The first of theae, which is believed to be one of the largest factory build ings ever erected, is to b e 1,000 feet long by 200 feet wide, two stories and basement. The other will be 200 feet square. These two buildings will add practically 17 acres of floor space, giv ing the Overland a total of 79 acres of floor space in their Toledo plant alone. It is said that this is a larger area of floor space than is contained in any other motor car factory in the world. Tho aggregate floor space of this and the affiliated Overland plants operated in other cities is just over 100 acres. Additions to the Overland plant cov ering 25 acres of floor space have only just been completed, and it was thought until as recently as two months ago that, with the completion of these ad ditions, the plant would be ample for the present, at least. There, however, seoms to be uo limit to the demand for the Overland. October was the biggest month the company e ver experienced. Tho sales represent a money value of more than $5,500,000. This growing demand has required the immediate further enlarge ment of the plant. THE LIGHT-SIX HAYNES IN THE RECENT ECONOMY RON Popular Automobile Dover* Itself With Glory Even Though It Did Not Win Cup in the Thanksgiving Dty Contest In tho Economy Contest on Thanks giving Day, tho "Light Six" Haynes, sold by the Harrisburg Automobile Company, covered itself with glory from stem to stern, even though it did not win the cup. pne car with a pas senger load of 951 pounds equipped for touring purposes covered the distance of 111 miles on exactly five gallons of gasoline, 22 2-5 miles to the gallon. The other Haynes owned and driven by Andrew McElwain, of Newville, with a passenger load of not quite as much, consumed over the same course, four gallons, two quarts and.one-half pint, ► averaging 24 1-3 miles to th« gallon. Thero was no unusual or extraordinary adjustment done or made on either of these cars or carburetors. The carbu retors wero merely adjusted to get the most efficient mileage out of thie gaso line consumed. The records of both theae cars are more than gratifying be cause it is one that can be mado by any under the same conditions at any time and is not a'factory test reported with the car weighed down to practically nothing. The roads were in elegant condition and of tho average kind found in this section of Pennsyl vania, a goodly sprinkling of hills and one small mountain to crawl. The rate of speed was about twenty miles an hour, the sale and sane touring speed. The test demonstrates that the con tention of the Harrisburg Automobile Company and the Haynes Automobile Company, that their Model 30 "Light Six" Haynes selling for 91,485, is tho easiest Bix-cyliuder car in the country on gasoline. When you can get from twenty to twenty-four miles on a gal lon of gasoline with five passengers, it pays the public to buy an automobile of this character. We acknowledge that the carburetor on the Haynes is of a remarkably fine type, not usually found on a ear of this price, the Bay field, and that the Haynes is construct ed from radiiator to rear axle of the very best possible material, all of which is in perfect alignment and bearings ground to a mecrometer fit. There isn't any doubt but that the Haynes is built not just to sell but to make the own er more enthusiastic than owners gen erally get and to have his enthusiasm increased instead of decreased. Many a man is greatly pleased with his car when he gets it but has a dif ferent tune to sign six or nine months after he has owned it. It is not that way with the Haynes. The longer the customers have Haynes cars the better pleased they are. Our contention that the Haynes is the best and lightest six cylinder car ma<de at the present time, that it will go up any hill faster at high gear, faster at second gear, faster at low gear, also slower at high gear and that it will go farther on a gallon of gasoline than any other six-cylinder ear of any weight made, been prov en under expert and mechanical tests by the Economy Kun just finished. When we made these statements some time ago we made them because we knew they were correct. When we make them now, we make them beoause the public know they correct. We are very well pleased with tho Haynes. We knew what it would do and it has done it. Salient Points of Pai«e Car George R. Rentley, proprietor of the Riverside garage and local dealer in the Paige car says: "The pleasure and\ satisfaction given him by the performance of the Paige car at all times is far beyond any expectation. In driving this car, its handsome appearance, mechanical perfection, its uniform complete finish, its behavior, on good and bad roads, on trips of all length, long and short, use of oil and gasoline, its speed and reserve power, its great scope of use fulness, demonstrate fully these facts."

NOVEL PLAN TO EMPLOY WOMEN DEMONSTRATORS Schomo of Maxwell Motor Oar Company Endorsed by Florence Quersey, Har riot Stanton Blatch, Charlotte Per kins Oilman and Others By Ethel Peyser Word comes that an entirely new Held of endeavor is about to be opened to women; and It is one of the most pleasant as well as profitable labors to which women may aspire. The word is that Walter E. Flanders, of the Maxwell Motor Company, is abont to make a nation-wide canvass of all the women's organizations to find capable women to act as demonstrators of the Maxwell car. The plan has the endorsement of several of the most prominent club and suffragette leaders of New York, when interviewed last week by one of New York's leading palters. It Is a genuine business move on the part of the Maxwell Motor Company. Mr. Flanders believes that women will be successful in the automobile busi ness and particularly iu demonstrat ing and selling a car like the Maxwell, which Is exceptionally light and easy to handle and has already proved highly popular with women drivers. When questioned regarding the move, Mr. Flanders said: "To be frank, we want to sell our cars to women, and we think women can sell them successfully. It has been our experience that women In department stores as agents are good sellers and, therefore, we consider it no Utopian scheme to engage women as demon strators of automobiles." "The long and the short of ifis that •we fcelieve in women not only to the extent of employing tlieuv -hut to the extent of paying the same as we pay men for the Job. Every btysiness man," he concluded, "is looking for progress and we helieve with Charlotte Perkins Gilman, that the main lftife of progress is towards economic equalitv and freedom. That is all there is to it" Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Presi dent of the Women's Political Union, said: "Why shouldn't women go Into the automobile business, or any other business they want to. It seems to ine that tills Is a great opportunity lor women." "Good business," Hashed Mrs. Inez MUholland Bolssevaln, "I know that women will prove just as efficient us men." Belle da Costa Greene. Librarian of the Morgan Library, said: "Can't see why some motor company did not think of it before. It is a splendid idea." Florence Guersey, President of the New York State Federation of Wo men's Clubs, was just as encouraging when asked if women would take up the motor as a trade. "Women will jump at this chance for broadening their field for economic Independence. The best chauffeur thnt I ever rode with was a woman." Mrs. Clinrlotte Perkins Gilnian, the noted writer, speaker and publisher, said in regard to the plan: "I never give interviews, but I must give my word of endorsement to the Maxwell Motor Company on the new move. I wholly approve of opening all indus tries and all kinds of business to wo men, especially outdoor work. I can see a future for thousands of women in this business of selling automobiles, a future of healthy outdoor work, short hours and good pay. There is no doubt in my mind hut that they will succeed. Hundreds of women have proven that they can sell goods, and many hundreds have proven that they can drive cars and become com petent mechanics." Mrs. Norman de R'Whltehouse, when told of the new Maxwell plan, | said: "Splendid! The women are bonnd to succeed. If a car is light enough—and you say that Is a special feature of the Maxwell—a woman drives better than a man." MOTORCYCLE NOTES The Kentuckv Motorcycle Touring Club of Louisville, has sent out an ulti matum that no "reckless, law-defy ing '' rider will be tolerated in the club. In Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, there are 3,000 motorcycles registered, according to B. R. Hunt, a motbrcycle dealer of that country. | " Many of these," says Mr. Hunt, "are American motorcycles, and the popularity of the American built aia i chine is constantly increasing in this country.'' "The pleasures of motorcycling are manifold," says Mrs. A. T. Stanton, who recently came to this country from England. "Awl in Great Britain one sees a jjreat many more women driv ing their own motorcycles than in America. Here, a great many gills seem doubtful about their ability to operate the two-wheeler successfully and are content to ride as a tandem passenger or in a sidecar. Tandem and sidecar ruling are all rig'ht, but they are nothing in comparison with the pleasure of operating one's own motor cycle. After I took my first ride on my husband's motorcycle I was never sat isfied until I could operate the machine myself. And then the next step was to have a machine of my very own. "In England," continued Mrs. Stan ton, "many women take part in the motorcycle cluib runs, and the fcirls are able to compete with the men on these tours." DISASTROUS FOREST FIRE Mauch Chunk, Nov. 28.—An exten sive forest fire it sweeping eastward from Mauch Chunk the past few days and thousands of acres of woodland has already been burned. For a time the buildings on the outskirts of East Mauch Chunk were in danger, and the tire department was called out to save them. Virtually the entire area of Penn forest and Kidder township, in this county, are afire, the origin of which is unknown. The flames are spreading with light ning swiftness, owing to the dense autumn foliage and the extremely dry weather. The fire is the most extensive that probably ever visited this county. Name Becomes Extinct by Death Leacock, Nov. 28.—Peter Witmer St eh mail, 81 years old, died last night from the infirmities of age. He was the oldest resident ami a pioneer settler. He was a member of the Me&nonite church. One granddaughter and one great-granddaughter survives. With his death the name in bhie section is ex tinct. AN IMMENSE ADDITION TO THE HUDSON FACTORY ■ Main Building and Three Wings to Have Third Story Added —Work Begins at Once and to he Com pleted in Early Spring Cheering evidence of satisfactory present and future business conditions i» shown by the announcement of im mense additions to be inad« to the al ready enormous factory of the Hudson Motor Car Company. So pronounced has been the success of the Hudson Mix, so insistent the demand of tho pub lic for cars that ths present plant, large as it is, has proved' inadequate to handle the been decided to add a third-story tJ the main factory building and to three of the largest wings, an addition of floor spac.b 2,200 feet long by 60 feet wide. In construction the addition will conform to the present style of pressed brick and concrete. Work on the ad ditional story will begin at once. It is to be completed, and the enlarged premises ready for occupancy on March 1, 1915. This is arranged so that the company will be in the best po&sdble shape to handle what promises to be the record year of its history. MARKING A HIGHWAY ROUTE New Route From Chicago to Jackson ville Latest Good Hoads Project Under Consideration Latest among the good roads proj ects undor consideration is a new route from Chicago to Jacksonville. Tho movement for this north to south high way was launched by W. 8. Gilbreath, secretary of the Hoosier Motor Club, at the recent good roads congress held in Atlanta and the proposal was so en thusiastically received and endorsed by the state officials of Georgia, that no time was lost in doing the preliminary work in connection with the project. The route is through Indianapolis, Louisville, Chattanooga, Macon, Atlan ta to Jacksonville. There has been such an increase be tween the Middle Western States and Florida in tho past few years, that such a highway should be well traveled. Tho route selected is favorable for tha proposed road. Marking the highway will make touring much more pleasur able. Tho name of the new road is still un decided. "Tho Cotton Belt Route" and "The Dixie Way" have bjen sug gested, but the final decision will be left to the Governors of the States through which the highway leads.
