Lincoln Highway Work
Progresses Rapidly

Daily postal card reports from the
drivers of the Saxon car which has
just completed a trans-continental trip
from New York to San Francisco in
dicate that the Lincoln highway is be-
ing rapidly improved. The reports
were arranged by Vice-President Par
dington and through the faithfulness
of the tourists in reporting conditions
the highway directors are provided
with an up-to- the minute survey of
improvements.
Practically every report states:
Road work going on" With the ex-
ception of a few spots in the far west
the reports make the designation:
Roads we'll marked" There are no
poorly marked" reports from the
west but curiously enough there are
two or three from the eastern Sec
tions.
However, the roadway is already
marked so that there is little pos
sibility of missing it. The explanation
of the fasteners where they had failed
to erect as many signs as tourists
looked for, was to the effect that
everybody around there knew the
road.
The proper marking of every fourth
or fifth telegraph pole will be urged,
as frequent marks lend confidence to
the tourist and add to the enjoyment
of his trip.
To mark and sign the Lincoln way
is a big step towards its permanent
improvement. Furthermore, it is
pointed out, the best marked sections
are sure to make the greatest impress
sions upon travellers.

ILLNESS AS A MoNEY-MAKER

The president of the health insur-
ance company was displeased, not to
say ruffied. He considered himself a
downy bird, a sharp-eyed spectator,
and a knowing card. The principal
business of his company was to in
sure people against illness. That Is,
for the payment of a certain amount
annually, they could collect an indem-
nifty for all the time they were i'll.
The prize writer of this insurance
stood before the president and bowed
his head to the storm of reproach
which was cast upon him.
What do you mean by insuring
this fellow BROWNE" shouted the presi-
dent.
Sir" said the prize writer, "he had
never been sick for a day up to the
time we insured him."
But, for the love, of Heaven, can't
you be reasonable?" burst forth the
president.
We'll, I admit he has been sick a
good deal since he took out his policy"
admitted the man who was being
bawled out.

REGAL MOTOR CARS
To BE SOLD BY DILL
Former Underslung Type Has Been
Changed to Design of Foreign
Models

The new Regal will be sold in the
Harrisburg territory by 1. W. Dill at
the Hudson agency. The Regal ac-
count was a verv .auch coveted one
and was bid s.~ " a number of the
leading local dealers, consequently.
the Hudson agency considers itself
very fortunate in securing the sale of
the new leader in the four-cylinder
class.
The Regal is designed after the high
priced foreign Simplex, and is not of
its former underslung type. This car
is backed by a S3,00O.000 company
with seven years experience, two
years of which have been spent in
the perfecting of this latest model.
The body lines are of the full stream
line type even to the elimination of
the radiator cap, giving a clean, grace
full appearance of such unusual beauty
that the most enthusiastic praise has
been given it by critics.
1t is interesting to know that the
new Regal is the first popular priced
American car to use the well known
Bosch -Rushmore electric starting and
lighting system which has been used
on the foreign Fiat, De Dion Bouton,
DAIMLER, Isotta. Mercedes, Simplex
and Mercer. Knox and Regal in the
American group.
From a y-builder's standpoint,
the car is beautifully proportioned,
having long, graceful lines roomy
tonneau, with a 4S-inch cushion and
doors almost two feet in width.
The self-starting pedal is in a novel
position where mischevious boys can
not find it. and the entire mechanical
layout is made with a view of the
elimination of heavy and useless parts
while the weight is reduced by the
generous use of aluminus and steel
castings, at the same time maintaining
a perfect balance of power and parts
The new Regal will list at $1,0S5
f. o. b. Detroit, and at this low cost
will discount the value of many of the
heavier high-priced four cylinder cars
to a very great extent.
The 1915 models are now being de-
livered and quantity shipments will be
received in the immediate future.
