AUTOKOBiLEJ'ROSPERSTY Dime Savings Bank President Tells of the Permanent Solidity of the Market for Machines Commodore William Livingstone, president of t'lie Dime Savings bank of Detroit, well presented the permanent solidity of the automobile market in his address to the American Bankers' Association at Richmond. "It is worthy to note," said ho, "that at no time in twelve years has the industry as a whole taken a back ward step, the records showing that, each year an increasing number of cars lias been ma le and sold. From less than a thousand cars in 1902, when the business may really be said to have be gun, to 435,0u0 cars during the fiscal year of June 150, 1914, the latter hav ing a total valuation of aboiit $425,- 000,000. Coupled with these figures are of the parts and accessory ijMakers, with sales during the past twelve months running into big figures. Attention at this point is called to tho fact that 47 per cent, of the cost of an .automobile is in the labor.

ALL GASOLINE ECONOMY RECORDS ARE BEATEN The Jeffery Chesterfield Six Shows a Surprising Result in An Official Test Made by the Chicago Automo bile Club An operating cost of than halt a cent a mile lor gasoline was the sur prising result of an official! tc*it made by the Chica'o Automobile club with -a six-cylinder Jetfery. The car with its passengers weighed no leas th«n 4.100 pound's. The fuel consumption, ac cording to Qhairitnaii F. E. Edwards and Harry A. Tarantous, of the tech nicail coiiuiWittee of the club, was 28.Y •miles to the (American) gallon of garoline, which is the equivalent of 34.4 miles to the British or '' imper ial" gallon. Such wonderful operating economy has never "before ibeen attained with any, except nairs much annaller in size. Indeed, there are few, if any, small iiars of less than one-lhaJf the weight t'hait ran consistently equal this rec ord. Previously it has been tactit'v assumed that soK'h (jua-liit-ies as distinc tion, class, comfort and luxury, the at tributes of the mare pretentious cars, were alwav* associated with high in itial cost and almosit prohibitive oper ating expense. But here was such a car, costing only $1,650, with the fuel economy of a miniature automobile. The test was made without the knowledge of the manufacturer of t'he car. Instead, it was conducted in the •interesit of the maker of the Strom berg carburetor, which was used in the demonstration. Besides fuel economy, the accelerating power, flexibility and hil'l climbing ability of the machiine were also determined by the demon stration. Good roads were chosen for the fuel test, 58 test gasoline beinig used, the fan kept running and tlhe clutch being slipped only when traffic miade it neces sary. The dash adjustment oif the car buretor was disconnected throughout the run. Only one, gallon of gasoline Was used, the automobile being kept running until all of the fuel was ex hausted. In the acceleration test the car was driven from a standing start to 30 miles an hour in 12 4-5 sec onds. The flexibility of the machine was demonstrated by speeding it from 4 to 4 4 miles an hour on the high gear. Traffic conditions j>revented greater speed than this. Up Hubbard's Hill the cur progressed from a standing start at the bottom to 15 miles an hour at the top, on high gear. With a flying start this was increased to 18 miles an hour. These phenomenal results were ob tained with the 1915 model of the .leffery Chesterfield Six, in which was followed the European practice of us ing a comparatively small, though highly efficient long-stroke motor. The .Tefferv mix-cylinder motor has a 3-inch bore and a 5-inch stroke. It is a French type improved by the ingenuity of American mechanics and designers. Its wonderful economy and power as shown by this test are a triumph for the Jeffery engineers. Sdlvertown cord tires were used in the demonstration, while the mileage was recorded by a Stewart speedometer. A BARGAIN BORLAND ELECTRIC HOADSTKK 1914 Demonstrating Car.

FIVE MILLION MORE MOTOR CARS NEEDED FOR FARMS Glance at Agricultural Market Shows That Possibilities Are Hardly Scratched—Machines That Have Gone to the Scrap Heap Nearly one and a half million auto mobiles have been sold in the United States since 1902 when the business may bp said really to hav e begun. The number of these machines that have gone to the scrap heap is as yet negligible for commercial reckoning. The oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old. You see the quaint old timers in service every dav. Next year, according to the forecast of the trade, nearly a half million .more cars will be sold. These facts cause many to wonder where these hundreds of thousands of cars will go next year —and the years after that. Thus far the number of automobiles owned by farmers is only about 10 per cent, of the total number of farms. The manufacturers would have to produce over five million more cars to fill the farm market alone. The coqiing of the automobile has made remarkable changes in farm con ditions. It is carrying the farmer far and wide over the countryside and bringing him into close touch with all the great improvements in agriculture. To-day it is no uncommon thing in any of the middle western states to see anywhere from 50 to 33 automobiles grouped about a field where a plowing contest, is going on, or Standing about the stable where there is a sale of line cattle. These automobiles come from distances of 10, 20 and even 30 miles. They bring the farmer to these centers of interest quickly and without agreat waste of time. The automobile on the farm is a pay ing investment in many ways. On many farms the car does service both as a pleasure car and a truck. By removing the body the car is converted into a truck on which farm produsts are quickly taken to market at little ex pense. In the oil days if a member of the family, or a valuable horse fell ill or was hurt, or a machine broke down in the midst of harvesting, the farmer had no choice but to take the consequences. He would drive off to town for help, but it was a long, slow drive over bail roads and help almost always arrived late. The car gives him the quick serv ice he needs. When it comes to the boys on the farjn, no one can doubt the influence of the automobile in making the farm attractive. Both the bovs and giris of the farm drive the car and take care of it, an;! you may be sure that, the young men or women on the farm where there is an automobile spe to it that the car is kept in good shape. There is a marked decrease in the desire on the part of the young to get away from the farm, and the automobile is one of the most important influences to bring about this change. The automobile has promoted the good roads movement all through Amer ica. This is decreasing the cost of transporting agricultural products to market. And so important an Item is this that it could almost be said that the improvements in roads alone would more than pay a big interest on the amount the farmer has invested in au tomobiles. Even now, road improvements have made it possible in many places to use the car every month of the year. These are factors of tile growing business of tho local automobile dealer | —for on the local dealer the farmer I depends for his cars. It accounts for ! the fact that from now right on through the winter months the factories will lie busy turning out cars to meet the spring demand. The high point of production is reached about the middle of February.

AS APPLIED TO BQDiES GF AUTOMOBILES Taken From Marine Designs, Declares George a. McTarland, of Harrisburg Auto Co., Distributors for Haynes Car In This Territory "The term 'stream line' as applied to automobile bodies has been taken from maiine designs," declares George G. McFarland, of the Harrisburg Auto €o., distributors, in this territory for the Haynes, America's First Car. "A boat must have 'stream lines' to offer as little resistance to the motion of the boat as possible. In order to reduce the friction between the water and the surface of the boat hull, such curves and lines must be embodied in the boat as would be continuous from the bow to the stern. If there is the slightest curve outward in the reverse direction from the general curvature, there is the tendency to set up little whirlpools and eddies. "This is really the true test of per fect stream lines and it can be applied to automobile bodies as well as to boats, by imagining the body is a swiftly mov ing current of watef. If the curves at any point, especially between the hoo.l and cowl and the front partion of the body have the slightest tendency to throw the imaginary current away from the body, it is not 'stream line." Any curve, whieb if continued, would lead the eye out from the body, violates the stream line conception. "Just because a cowl has replaced the antiquated straight dash, there is no license to call the body 'stream line.' Stream line bodies have a smooth tapering curve that starts at the front of the radiator and sweeps to the ex treme rear in continuous, pleasing lines. Any abrupt curve at the cowl is distracting. "Thie stream line body represents the ideal body toward which the ten dency has been for past three years, and the Haynes engineers have kept this thought in the foreground in de signing the Haynes 'light six.' Every thing that can be desired in a body is had in the stream line design. The lines are simple and refined. The body is low and consistent with safety. Tha true stream line car has a dignity all of its own. The stream line car has a permanent distinguishing style that is not affected by the changing fashions of fancy. It is on this account that a car possessing a true stream line body represents the best automobile in vestment. "It is the appearance of a car that causes its depreciation in the years following its purchase. A car that has the stream line type of body is one that will be recognized universally in the coming years as being of accepted design. Inhere will not be the contrast two or three years from now, as there is now with the cars built a few years ago. Consequently, the depreciation will be less marked." THE ANNUALCACTIfS DERBY Officials of the Paige Motor Car Com pany Jubilant Over Perform ance of Their Entries The seventh annual Cactus Derby, run recently from Los Angeles, Cal ifornia, to Phoenix, Arizona, is still a fruitful twpic of conversation in the automobile industry because of tihe ter rific nature of the grind and the sen sational events which accompanied it. When a dozen powerful and 'high-priced cars strow their wreckage along the route of a road rai'e it is apparent that the event is far from being a joy ride. Officials of the Paige .Motor Oar Company are not only ju'bilant over the fact that 'their two entries finis<hed sec ond and third respectively, but they believe that the performance of these cars demonstrates tlheir merits in the most convincing and spectacular man ner imaginaii.de. ■Several features in connection with the Paige cars stand out and can be 'briefly summarized. The Paige entries hail seen consid erable service before t'he great race. One had 'been a demonstrator in Los Angeles ami tho other had 'been used as a i>a'thfinder in mapping ouit the now rou'te for tthis year's (.'actus Derby. Ou the other 'hand, t'he Stutz car that won first place in the ral?e by only 34 minutes was one that hail 'been es pecially manufactured for the Indian apolis 500-mile speed race. Twenty ears started; only eight finished. But the most significant fact of all was tho ferfotunance of t'he Paige en tries ou t'he last day of tflie rave. This was the worst day—worse by far in the vile nature of the roads covered and in the character of the weather encounter ed. Yet the Paige cars, in spite of tihese conditions and the severity of tihe work already done, made their best Eihowiug on this day—l>ntter tthan that, of any other entries —and made tho fastest time of all contestants 'between Prescott and Phoenix. The third day's ''bowing, therefore, is regarded as an Increastd Efficiency L)o you dread the coming of cold weather?

THE SONGS OF I Selected By J. HOWARD WERT No Sl °- "Roll on Silver Moon" AH I strayed from my eot at the close of the rtav, Mid the ravishing beauties of June; Neath the .jesamine shade I espied a fair maid. And she sadly complained to the moon: Chorus Roll on, silver moon, guide the traveler on his way. While the nightingale's song is in tune; Oh, I never, never more, with my true love shall stray, By thy bright silver light of'the moon? Like the Hart on the mountain, my lover was brave, So handsome, so manly and clever; So kind and sincere, and he loved me so dear, Oh, Edwin thine equal was never. His grave I'll seek out until morning appears, And weep o'er my love so brave; I'll embrace the cold turf, and bathe with my tears. The flowers that bloom o'er his grave. The Sea By Bryan Waller Proctor ("Barry Cornwall") The sea! the sea; the open sea! The blue, the fresh, the ever free! Without a mark, without a bound, It runneth the earth's wide regions round, It plays with the clouds; it mocks the slues; Or like a cradled creature lies. I'm on the sen! I'm on the sea! 1 am where I would ever be; With the blue above, and the blue be low, And silence wheresoe'er I go; If a storm should come, and awake the deep, What matter? I shall ride and sleep. especially convincing demonstration of the -ar's stamina, staunchness and re liability. In view of the facts just related and that the event was not a one-day 'but a grind of 70 6 miles over the most difficult and dangerous of mountain roads, it is apparent that second anil third positions in this race was an achievement of wihic'h any manufacturer hasa license to feel proud. GOING AFTER SOUTH ADIEU BUSINESS Chandler Export Manager in Venezuela, After Taking in Porto Rico and the West Indies—Rapid Work Is Sign ing Up Caracas Dealer With glaring headlines in every trade and newspaper advising American business firms to Wi Uo After South American Business," the Chandler Mo tor (Jar Company, through the foresight edness of its export manager, W. S. M. .Mead, has alreaity commenced an active campaign of sales in the southern half of tne Hemisphere. Mr. Mead, who is one of the oldest and most experienced export men in the automobile business, had planned a Kuiopean trip for this fall, but the out break of hostilities in the continent early in July caused the postponement of the journey. nick to realize tho possible benefits from the severing of trade relations between South Amer ican countries and Europe, Mr. Mead immediately arranged a trip to South America by way of the West Indies. The export manager later left for South America and has spent a good purtiou of the past month in Venezuela. "I have established at least one rec ord on my trip to South America that is only rarely duplicated in the States," writes Mr. Mead. "That is the signing up of the Caracas sales rights for the Chandler, delivery of the demonstrating car and the retail sale of s>ame, all within the short space of twelve hours. Our dealer in Caracas, Fernando Marquis, 0., is one of the liv est wires in South America and certain ly understands the Latin temperament as connected with the sale of motor cars. His headquarters, the Garage Central, from which Chandler owners in the capital of Venezuela will be served, constitute the most up-to-date motor establishment in the city. "The importation of motor ears in Venezuela has been comparatively lim ited, there being only 250 cars in use in and aibout Caracas, the capital. Prac tically all of these, with the exception of a few foreign cars, sell at a very low price. Through the efforts of for mer President Gomez, a very good ■stone road has been built from La Guavra, the seaport, to Caracas, a dis tance of about thirty miles. The road reaches an altitude of 3,000 feet near the city of Caracas. This road and two others are the main automobile thor oughfares of the county. With the ad dition of more good roads, which are alreadv promised, the sale of motor cars will undoubtedly increase." MARBLES OF VERMONT They Surpass the Product of Italy's Famous Quarries The greatest marble producing indus try in the world is no longer to be found in tho famous Carrara district of Italy, but in Vermont, where one of the richest veins in the world stretches in an irregular line across th© state. So great is the production of marble in this section that the inhabitants have lost much of their appreciation of its value and use it for such humble and utilitarian purposes as paving, un derpinning for barns, hitching posts, stepping stones and drinking troughs for horses. This vein is about fifty seven miles long, from 1,600 to 2,200 feet in width and runs from 375 to 850 feet in depth, and from it is being taken in enormous quantities white marble that is equal to the finest Ital ian marble as well a« an endless va riety of blue, yellow, green and jet black marbles. For quarrying and finishing the mar ble the most up to dlate methods and equipment are used, no part of the work being done by hand that can possibly be done by machinery. Hand methods of drilling, still in vogue in Italy, have been entirely supersedied by power driven drills and channeling machines. The blocks as they come from the quarry are handled by der ricks and are conveyed in most cases by an inclined railway or a ropeway to the mills, where they are sawed anil shaped by power driven machines, only the last delicate stage of polishing be- j ing done by hand l . —Popular Mechanical Magazine.

It is not very pretty, but it is ' effective. Vou begin bv folding up a I sheet of newspaper to form a little pad; | otherwise you are apt to spoil your wall | paper. Now for the rest. Hold the umbrella horizontally. Hold the pad of ; aper against the wall, pros* i the end of the um>breU'a against the j paper and the handle of the umbrella against your own body. This leaves the hands free for the delicate task of roll- S ing up the umbrella. Find the button. Bring the fold with the button on it to j your left anil let it hang down. Then pull out each fold and pass it over the tirst. Throw the lot loosely around I the umbrella without disturbing the creases of the folds. Grip the tops of ( the ribs with the right hand. Put your | left hand around the other end and wind tilie um'brella through the left j hand witih a screwing motion. j Do not let go of the tops of the riba lof the utWbrella.
