BIC PARADE IS SUGGESTED
Other Features to Make the First Mo-

Those interested in the motorcycle
show to be held under the auspices of
the Keystone Motorcycle Association of
Harrisburg are manifesting disposi-
tion to make the event an unqualified
success from every standpoint. Strong
efforts will be made to have the dis
plays of motorcycles complete and TO
have everything pertaining to motor
cycling represented on an impressive
scale.
The purpose is not only to have the
show highly interesting to visitors, but
to make it an exposition that will prove
valuable to dealers and owners of mo-
torcycles. as we'll An opportunity for
prospective purchasers to get com
prehensive idea of the various machines

lationship among motorcyclists and it
is urged that special features should be
introduced to awaken the public to the
Importance of the show--and to bring
people here from other cities and towns.
One proposition that no doubt would
prove highly effective. is to have big

IMMENSE QUANTITY OF mail
handled BY BIC CONCERN
Mailing Department of the WHY'S Over
land Company in Toledo Handles
More Per Day Than Many Fourth
Glass Postoffices

The magnitude of a manufacturing
business, of which the product is moro
than $4,000 motor cars in single
year, is hard to realize. Figures re-
Gently compiled show that the mailing
department of the WHY'S Overland
Company, Toledo, handles more mail
per day than many of the fourth-class
postoflices in this country. This vol
ume of correspondence is necessary for
conducting the affairs of the company.
On Monday, the day of the week on
which the biggest volume of mail is re-
ceived, it averages between 1000 and
5000 pieces of first class mail and the
same amount of second-class mail and
parcel post packages. Practically all
of this mail is opened, sorted and dis
tributed within two hours after its
receipt at the Overland offices. By s
o'clock every morning, each department
manager has the largest part of the
days mail on his desk.
At the Overland plant an entire de-
partment is devoted to the handling of
mail. The work has been highly sys-
tematized by the man in charge whose
position is similar to that of postmaster.
Under his direction is a large staff Of
assistants with an equipment of spe-
cial mailing machines which seal, stamp
and count as high as ESQ letters a
minute, and other facilities as efficient
as those found in the highest class gov
ernment postoffices.
A special Overland mail car trans
ports the mail between the plant and
the postoffice, making four regular
trips each day in addition to special
trips when necessary. Another car is
placed at the disposal of the mailing
each afternoon at 4 o'clock.
This car meets the Twentieth Century
Limited with all important mail to be
sent to New York and other points in
the east and abroad. The driver must
go to the depot and place his mail bags
on the cars in person, as thu train is not
scheduled to pick up mail at Toledo.
The outgoing Overland mail aver
ages $500 pieces of frst-class matter
daily. The third-class mail averages
between 5000 and 10000 pieces on
ordinary days; it sometimes runs as
much as $4,000 pieces in day, when
catalogues and special literature are
being sent out, the total is much higher.
AS high as $3.50 per day is spent by
the company for stamps.
The Star-Independent, Harrisburg's
greatest newspaper, as an advertising
medium will add to the volume of sales
and thus reduce the proportionate cost
of postage. .-Adv.*

POWER IN HAYNES LIGHT SIX
A Test Just Completed Shows Americas
First Oar Delivers 41.25
Rear Wheels


According to the results of the test
just completed at the Worcester Poly
technic Institute, The Haynes Light Six
actually delivers 41.25 horsepower at
the rear Wheels" states c. +. Holm, of
Roberts & Holm. distributors. in this
territory for the Haynes, Americas
First Car. Such power at the rear
wheels is remarkable. A stock ear was
used and operated under the same con-
ditions as encountered in actual road
driving. An unusual characteristic that
the test brought out Is the fact that
there is no drop in the horsepower de-
livered until n car speed of sixty miles
per hour is attained. This power that
is delivered to the point where actual
ly used in propellng the car is 1876
per cent. of the S. A. Il. rating of
29.4 horsepower. The motor is 3lax5
inches with the six cylinders east
en- bloc.
"The fact that such great amount
of power may be obtained at the rear
wheels, with a motor of this size, is
still more significant when it is con-
sidered that the ear had been run
about coo miles before the test was
made
Losses between the motor and rear
wheels are approximately per cent.
in the universal joints and to per
cent. in the drive gear, The greatest
loss is in the tires, This loss amounts
to about 15 per cent, depending upon
the make of tire and its imitation.
"The efficiency of an automobile is
the ratio of the power delivered at the
rear wheels to the power actually de-
veloped by the motor. Considerable
power is always lost in transmitting the
power from the engine to the point Of
usage. If the motor developed 100
horsepower and but SO horsepower was
available at the rear wheels, the eff
ficiency would be but 90 per cent.
Automobile effectiveness is determined
by the weight. and the power delivered
at the rear wheels. "-Adv.*

PAIGE FACTORY Is NOW

Unprecedented Demand For Cars Neces-
states Three Eight-Hour Shifts In
Big Establishment to Meet Demands
For Popular Car

Twenty-four hours is all the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company can squeeze
out of a working day, but the big fac
tory where the Paige "Six-46V and
Glenwood "36" are made is taking ad-
vantage of every second of the twenty
four to meet the demand for its 1915
models.
Any time is good time to report
cheerful news, but for obvious reasons,
no time is better than now to be the
messenger of commercial good cheer. 1t
is therefore especially pleasing to re-
port that so great is the success of the
Paige company, so insistent the demand
for the new "Six'' and the popular
Glenwood "Four," that the inaugura-
tion of full twenty four-hour sched-
ule of three eight-hour shifts was re-
Gently found necessary in order to keep
abreast of the orders.
The new Paige "Six' was an imme-
date success, but as soon as the auto
mobile shows started the orders for
cars became so heavy, the Immediate
sales from the floor of the shows so
large, that the factory would have been
swamped had not heroic measures been
taken. The Paige company sold moro
than one million dollars worth of ears
at the New York and Chicago shows
alone, which is believed to be a record,
and the enthusiasm and practical re-
suits at the other shows throughout the
country continues so great that the
twenty y-four-hour day win probably be
maintained at the factory for some
time to come.-Adv.*

TRUCK DELIVERY SYSTEM

ciated by the manufacturer as we'll as

HOSPITAL FOR employees
OF A MOTOR CAR CONCERN
Dodge Brothers Maintain Completely
Equipped First-Aid Rooms in Their
Detroit Factory Carelessness
Placed at Premium

Muck-rakers on factory conditions
will find little material to work on
when visiting some of the big Detroit
motor ear plants. The fine twenty-acr
factory of Dodge Brothers in the north
ern suburbs of the city is striking
case in point.
In addition to serve self restaurants,
rest rooms and other features provided
for the comfort of the employees of the
company, the visitor of Dodge Brothers
factory will find a completely equipped
hospital in one of the big S00-foot
buildings which make up the plant. In
charge of an experienced physician is
suite of frst-aid rooms which would
do credit to many a small city. Fin
ished is shining white enamel through
out, the Dodge hospital consists of an
operating room, physicians room,
nurses room, and separate wards for
men and women. Only in rare cases
does the physician in charge deem it
necessary to turn over any of his pa
tients to city hospitals for further
treatment. as he has the equipment and
material necessary for all save excep-
tional cases.
Through the institution of an intelli-
gent safety first campaign, and the
e-guarding of all dangerous ma
chinery, Dodge Brothers have cut down
accidents to the minimum in their fac
tory. Safetyfirst signs with the IA
miliar red circle in the center are
posted in all sections of the plant,
together with occasional pictures of an
employe who failed to take ordinary
care and lost finger or thumb thereby.
BY placing a premium on carelessness,
the factory managers have greatly cut
down the minor injuries SO common a
few years back among workers in a
big industrial copcern.-Adv.+
