HARLEY-DAVIDSON CLAIM
WONDER WITH HICH RECORD
Speed-Breaking Machines Promote
Much Interest In Motorcycle World
Says Heagy Brothers—Good For
Sprint and Durability Runs
"The tremendous speed being shown
by the Harley-Davidson motorcycle in
the opening speed events this year has
been the wonder of the motorcycle and
the automobile world, - ' says Heagy
Ray Heagy and members of the Key
stone Motorcycle Club, of Harrisburg,
riding up a very steep inchne near
Chickies Rock,'' on the homeward
sociability run to York, Pa., after par
taking of a York county turkey din
ner.
Brothers, the local Harley-Davidson
dealers, 1204 North Third street.
"The fact is made all the more re
markable when it is considered that
this unusual speed has been developed
with imported' machines.
"On April 20, Red Parkhurst, at
Oklahoma City, covered 150 miles over
a rough couree, full of treacherous
holes and with short turns that re
sembled plowed fields, in 140 minutes,
defeating the cream of riders in the
motorcycle world, representing all
makes of machines. Joe Wolf?r, I'ark
hurst's teammate, brought the Harley-
Davidson in for second place and the
Harley-Davidson also finished fourth
and fifth at Oklahoma City.
"This unusual cleanup comes as an
echo of the victory achieved by t'he
Harley-Davidson at Venice, Cal., in the
300-mile international classic held
Easter Sunday over a specially con
structed speeifway where Otto Walker
broke all existing motorcycle records
for that distance by covering the triple
century in 2.24 17'1-5 with Ked I'ark
hurat only 15 3-5 seconds behind. The
two carried away $1,400 for first and
second money in the Venice race.
"A few days later at Bakersfleld,
Roy Artlev, on a Harley-Davidson,
captured the one-hour feature event,
covering 68.7 miles in that time. On
May 2, Otto Walker demonstrated his
: skill at short distance events as well
I as long grinds by taking first in the 5
- and 10-inite stripped ttock races at
Sacramento, and showed nlso the con-,
sistency of the Harley-Davidson in
. short sprint work where excessive
(bursts of speed are necessary, as well
i as in the long distance events where
j durability is an important factor for
| sustained high speed."—Adv.*

WORLD POWERS IRONSIDES
Battleships a Complex Problem in War
in View of Recent Work of
Submarines
From the days of "wooden walls"
to the era of ironsides, never has his
tory seen such a "goulash" of opinion
as presented by the helplessness of the
bottled up German navy on one side
and the destructiveness of their sub
marines on the other.
Time was when the might of nations
was reckoned in dreadnoughts, battle
ships and armored cruisers, but the
old equation seems no longer to serve,
inasmuch as Germany, despite her elab
orate naval program, was driven from
the seas and her ports effectually
closed to food and munitions by the
fleets of the allied nations. Her navy
ranked high in the reckoning among
nations, yet was rendered helpless by
an effectual blockade early in the hos
tilities.
Forced to play the game with pawns,
the Teuton caused more havoc with
her converted merchantmen "raiders"
and her tiny "untersee" boats than
naval science ever dreamed of. ,
Despite her efforts, however, food
stopped coming into her ports, and such
materials is she needed for the manu
facture of powder aim shells became
unobtainable from nations across the
sea. A weaker or less prepared na<
tion should surely have succumbed ere
the end of the first six months of the
war.
This interesting phase of the great
European struggle is fully co\ered in
the authoritative story of the war by
Willis J, Abbot, from whom the Star-
Independent secured the right to the
entire edition of this valuable work fo.r
its readers, to whom it is offered for
the fractional presentation sum of 98
cents.
This beautiful volume, which covers
every phase of the war, is handsomely
bound in English buckram and profuse
ly illustrated. It contains 364 pages
of unimpeachable truth about this great
war, 463 actual photographs fresh
from the "front" and 20 handsome
full-page color plates of the most im
portant details. The value of this
splendid volume is $3.00, but through
the effort of tjiis newspaper readers
i an secure it for the small fee to cover
the book rights and the handling.

PAIGE IfIANAGERSIN SESSION
Take a Week For Discussing Policy of
House and Looking Over
New Models
It has become generally known of
late that the district managers of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company are
without exception some of the best in
formed men in the automobile indus
try. This is the result of being in
constant and close touch with the ex
ecutives of the factory in addition to
keeping their eyes and ears open to
what is taking place in their respec
tive territories.
Twice each year all the f'aige-De
troit managers are called into head
quarters at Detroit to discuss the de
velopments of the past six months and
to learn what has been planned for the
next half year's campaign.
From May 3 to May 8, was district
managers' convention week at the
Paige factory. The most gratifying
part of the program was the report
from every quarter of the tremendous
success of the 1915 Paige cars and the
prosperity of practically all Paige deal
ers.
A feature of special interest to the
men was a demonstration ride in a new
Paige model soon to be announced to
the general public. After tho demon
stration ride and a careful study of
the deeign, tho material and tho equip
ment of the new model, it was voted
with unanimous enthusiasm to be a
wonderful ear at an astounding price.

102 HOURS OY MOTORCYCLE
Coast-to-Coast Relay Race July 1 to
Be Fastest Tran»continental Travel
Other Than by Bteam Trains—First
of Its Kind
Across the continent in less time
than has ever been lccomplished by any
vehicle other than the fastest trans
continental steam trains! :
That's the ambition of the motor
cyclists wiio will participate in the
const-to-coast relay race which is to bo
held in July undor the direction of
John L. Dono\ an, chairman of the com
petition committee of the Federation of
American Motorcyclists. He has full
charge of the arrangements for the
relay, and from his study of conditions
believes that the riders should be able
to cover the 3,436.5 miles between New
York and San Francisco in about 102
hours.
The run will actually start from
| Washington, where a. dispatch from
President Wilson to the commandant of
the Presidio at San Francisco will be
delivered into the hands of the first re
lay rider. However, the actual run
ning time is to be judged from the
time the dispatch bearer from New
York City jumps into the saddle and
starts on his westward journey. And
from that moment not an instant is to
be lost—night and day the dispatch
will be hurried across the country at
the best speed the sturdiest two-wheel
ers and the best riders can make. And
Chairman Donovan believes that this
will land the message in San Francisco
within 102 hours after it leaves the
east coast.
This is the first transcontinental mo
torcycle relay ever staged, so that there
are no previous records to bo broken.
Automobiles in relays at one time
crossed in about ten days and nine
hours. This meant 249 hours on the
trip, which time the motorcyclists ex
pect to lower by more than half.
E. 0. Baker made the qaickest mo
torcycle trip across the continent when,
two years ago, he flashed from coast to
coast in 11 days, 11 hours and 10 min
utes.
Tho dispatch will be started from
New York about July 19, in order that
it may arrive in Sacramento during
the time of the F. A. M. national con
vention, which begins on July 21.

Dealer In Dodge Brothers Cars Uses Old
Catalogues
Charles S. Henshaw, Boston dealer
for Dodge Brothers, employs a sales
manship stunt that graphically il
lustrates the growth of the automobile
industry. Mr. Henshaw has automo
bile catalogues of the vintage of 1908,
1909 and 1910, and makes a practice
of showing his prospects how lucky
j they are to be buying cars at this ad
vanced stage of toe business. Even as
recently as 1911 makers were charging
| extra for windshields, horns, tops,
tools aod other accessories now com
monly included as part of the car.
And of course, electric starters and
lighting systems were still in the fu
ture. According to iMr. Henshaw,
I Dodge Brothers' car could not have
! been sold for a profit at $2,000 in
| 1909 or 1910.

Market Street Bridge Auto Routes Con
venient to Tourists
One of the things that makes the
Market street bridge such a popular
thoroughfare with motorists is the free
distribution of printed routes to all who
ask for them. Persons who plan a
day's outing taking them across the
river and who are not familiar with
the proposed trip can get all the neces
sary information in the printed routes
from toll men at either end of the
bridge.
These routes cover all west and
southbound routes from Harrisburg, in
cluding two to York, two to Gettys
burg, four to Chambersburg and one to
New Bloomfield, with alternating re
turn route. These routes are kept up
to date as road conditions vary, the
company having changed one route as
often as three times in one season.
