ROLLING AN UMBRELLA
This Expert Makes 1t Rather Com
plicated Operation

Few men can roll up an umbrella
nicely. Here is the method | was
taught. 1t is not very pretty, but it is
effective. You begin by folding up a
sheet of newspaper to form little pad;
otherwise you are apt to spoil your wall
paper. Now for the rest.
Hold the umbrella horizontally. Hold
the pad of faper against the wall, press
the end of the umbrella against the
paper and the handle of the umbrella
against your own body. This leaves the
hands free for the delicate task of roll
ing up the umbrella. Find the button.
Bring the fold with the button on it to
your left and let it hang down. Then
pull out each fold and pass it over the
first Throw the lot loosely around
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 the umbrella through the left
hand with a screwing motion.
Do not let go of the tops of the ribs
of the umbrella. When you have to
move the hand slide it around. If YOU
let go you will find that the ribs get
out of place, and then the folds of the
umbrella will follow suit. When the
umbrella is rolled up grip it tightly un.
til you have fastened it. If you fail
in that detail you will get an unsightly

The annual Cactus 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
fruitful topic of conversation in the
automobile industry because of tine ter.
rife nature of the grind and the sen.
sational events which accompanied it.
When dozen powerful and high priced
ears strew their wreckage along the
route of a road race it is apparent
that the event is far from being a
joy ride.
Officials of the Paige Motor Car
Company are not only jubilant over the
fact that their two entries finished sec.
ond and third respectively, but they
believe that the performance of these
ears demonstrates their merits in the
most convincing and spectacular man
ner Imaginable.
Several features in connection with
the Paige ears stand out and can be
briefly summarized.
The Paige entries had seen consid-
eralble service before the great race.
One had been demonstration in Los
Angeles and the other had been used
as a pathfinder in mapping out the

But the most significant fact of all
was the performance of the Paige en-
tries ON the last day of the race. 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
these conditions and the severity of
the work already done. made their best

STREAM Line. 'ASAPPLIED
TOBODlES OF AUTOMOBILES
Taken From Marine Designs, Declares
George G.. Mcfarland, Of Harrisburg
Auto Co., Distributors for Haynes
Car in This Territory

"The term STREAM line as applied
TO automobile bodies has been taken
from marine designs,' declares George
G. Mcfarland, of the Harrisburg Auto
Co., distributors, in this territory foT
the Haynes, Americas First Car. &C. 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.
"Tbis is really the true test of per.
feet stream lines and it can be applied
to automobile bodies as well as to boats

ing current of water. If the curves
at any point especially between the
hood and cowl and the front portion of
the body have the slightest tendency to
throw the imaginary current away from
the body, it is not stream line. Any
curve, which 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 cow
is distracting.
The 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. The
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. 1t is on this account that
a car possessing true stream line
pouy represents the pest automobile IN
vestment.
''lt is the appearance of car that
causes its depreciation in the years

the stream line type of body is one
that will be recognized universally in
the coming years as being of accepted
design. There will not be the contrast
two or three years from now, as there

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 less than halt
a cent a mile for gasoline was the sur
prising result of an official test made
by the Chicago Automobile club with
six-cylinder ,Jeffery. The ear with its
passengers weighed no less than 400
pounds. The fuel consumption, ae-
cording to Chairman F. E. Edwards
and Harry A. Tarantous, of the tech
nical committee of the club, was 28.1
miles to the (American) gallon of
gasoline, which is the equivalent of
344 miles to the British or imper-
ial" gallon.
Such wonderful operating economy
has never before been attained with
any, except cars much smaller in size.
Indeed, there are few, if any, small
cars of less than one-half the weight
that can consistently equal this rec
ord. Previously it has been tactit.y
assumed that such qualities as distnc-
tion, class, comfort and luxury, the at
tributes of the more pretentious ears,
were always associated with high in
itial cost and almost prohibitive oper-
ating expense. But here was such a
ear, costing only $1,650, with the fuel
economy of miniature automobile.
The test was made without the
knowledge of the manufacturer of the
car. Instead, it was conducted in the
interest of the maker of the Strom-
berg carburetor, which was used in the
demonstration. Besides fuel economy,
the accelerating power, fiexibility and
hill climbing ability of the machine
were also determined by the demon
str"tion.
Good roads were chosen for the fuel
test, 5S test gasoline being used, the
fan kept running and the clutch being
slipped only when traffic made it neces-
sary. The dash adjustment of the ear
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 standing start
to 80 miles an hour in - As Sec
onds. The flexibility of the machine
was demonstrated by speeding it from
to "A miles an hour on the high gear.
Traffic conditions prevented greater
speed than this. Up Hubbard's Hill the
car progressed from standing start
at the bottom to Is miles an hour at
the top, ON high gear. With a flying
start this was increased to Is miles an
hour.
These phenomenal results were OBJ.

Jeffery six-cylinder motor has a 3-inch

chandler Export Manager in Venezuela,
After Taking in Porto Rico and the

With glaring headlines in every
trade and newspaper advising American
business firms to "Go After South
American Business" the Chandler Mo-
tor Car Company, through the foresight
edness of its export manager, w. S. NJ.
Mead, has already commenced an active
campaign of sales in the southern half
of the hemisphere.
Mr.. Mead, who is one of the oldest
and most experienced export men in
the automobile business, had planned a
European trip for this fall, but the out
break of hostilities in the continent
early in July caused the postponement
of the journey. Quick to realize the
possible benefits from the severing of
trade relations between South Amer
lean countries and Europe, Mr.. Mead

of few foreign ears, sell at a very

reaches an altitude of 5000 feet near

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 the famous Carrara district
of Italy, but in Vermont, where one of
the richest veins in the world stretches
in an irregular line across the 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 1000 to 1900
feet in width and runs from 375 to
$50 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 as an endless va
riety of blue, yellow, green and jet
black marbles.
For quarrying and finishing the mar.
BILE the most up to date 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 superseded
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 and
shaped by power driven machines, only
the last delicate stage of polishing be-
ing done by hand.-Popular Mechanics
