100000 DAMAGE
IN BOARDWALK FIRE
Blaze Destroys Twelve Shops in
Heart of Atlantic
City

Atlantic City. n. j.. Aug. 21.-Twelve
shops on the boardwalk, constituting
the entire block between North Caro-
lima and Pennsylvania avenues, were
destroyed by fire in a single hour yes

and stock of approximately 100000.
The flames threatened the Steeple-

block of shops, and the Strand Hotel
the big 100000 structure Immediately
back of them, causing serious panic
among the several hundred guests.
Four patrons of the chop suey" res

building at the North Carolina avenue
corner and two Chinese employed in
the cafe were cut off from the stairway
leading to the boardwalk and escaped
sensationally by sliding down a. rope

Herf- Brooks Car Among
Port Louis Mountains

The Stafford Meyer Co., of Port
Louis, Island of Mauritius, in the In
dian Ocean, handles the well-known
Herff- Brooks cars. In a recent letter
that came with a large order from this
company some interesting informa-
tion regarding motoring in that far
island came to light. We quote from
the letter
Motoring on this island demands
cars of great power and great sturdi-
ness. The whole island is about SO
miles long and % miles wide, and is
very mountainous. An idea of the
rough and rugged nature of the
that on this small island there are
mountains ranging in height from
500 to 200 feet. Righ here over
looking our city of Port Louis rises
the peak of the Ponce that goes up
1855 feet.
Back in the interior, where the big
sugar and indigo plantations lay, the
land is 1900 feet above the sea, so you
see to go anywhere at all we must
have great hill climbing power in
our car.
I'VE have selected Herff- Brooks
cars because we see in them Just that
combination of sturdiness with beauty
and a low price that is necessary to
capture the trade here.
1T will, we are certain, interest
drivers of Herff-Brooks cars to know
that we expect during the next year
to have many of these cars whirling
over the mountainous roads OF this
island"

ELIMINATE CROSSINGS
ALONG HIGHWAY
[Continued From First Page. !

Commission at its next meeting will
take steps to bring about abolition of
the grade crossings throughout the
State. | am not unmindful that this is
a great proposition, but we must make
start, and know of no better place
than along the Lincoln highway.
THE Public Service Commission has
recently declared its intention to work
out a policy whereby a general and
comprehensive plan for elimination of
such crossings will be made effective.
Our State is spending many thousands
of dollars in improving the highways
In addition to the Improvement of
other highways the State has gone to
much expense to reconstruct the his
toric highway leading from the Della
ware river to the Ohio state line This
highway passes through Lancaster,
York, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, Bed
ford, Greensburg and other towns and
is part of the national highway known
as the Lincoln highway
I'm going about the State | have
noticed the travel on this highway
and IT is easy to see that with its
beautiful scenery and populous dis
tricts travel will increase on this road
not only among our own people, but
many will come from other States.
81 am informed that there are
thirty-six grade crossings on this high
way. These crossings are steam rail-
roads, and because of the use of the
road crossings are a menace to the
travelling public.
The commission has authority and
l trust that its engineers and investi-
gators will be instructed to take steps
to get rid of these crossings"
Governor Brumbaugh is likewise
greatly interested in a detour of the
Lincoln highway from Harrisburg
fhrnuRh thn .TtIninta Nal1nNy l,,., -,
Raystown branch, connecting with the
Pittsburgh route at Everett, in Bed
ford county. 1t is also understood that
he is strongly in favor of a detour OF
the same national highway from Ian
caster to Harrisburg and thence to
Gettysburg through the historic Cum
berland Valley. He believes that every
important highway leading to Harris
burg.-as the capital of the common
wealth should be marked on all route
maps and by signposts, which are few
and far between.

sented by p. II. Keboch. of 334 Chestnut
street. shows the development in four
cylinder motor construction. The new,
high duty long-stroke motor develops
a speed of ffty-five miles and turns
up a little over 2700 revolutions per
minutes. according to Mr.. Keboch. FleX-
ibility is among its strong talking
points. The power of the Jackson has
always been characterized in its slogan
of no hill too steep; no sand too
deep"
In discussing the new model Mr..
Keboch said: This amazing motor is
mounted on chassis that will stand
up as the Jackson always does. And
with four full elliptic springs. the
Jackson "a" gives a pleasing new in
depreciation to "easy-riding." for 1t
honestly is easy riding. You'll never
know how easy till you ride in 1t.
And with a new beauty and refine
