WOMAN MAKES Record
IN CADILLAC EIGHT

In making the coast-to-coast drive
New York to Los Angeles-in "a
days. with a Cadillac eight, Mrs. Lii
lian Harris of Redbank. N. j., is con-
sidered TO have set q new record for
women drivers.
Carrying four other women as pas
sengers, Mrs. Harris drove the entire
distance of 1850 miles without assis-
tance. She reached her destination
without mechanical or any other kind
of difficulty. One of the things about
which Mrs. Harris was particularly
enthusiastic was the absence of fa-
tigue during the tour. which she at
tributes to the smooth running of the
car and the ease with which it was
handled. Out of the "a days. there
were only four on which il was nee
essary to go into gears lower than
high, the use. of the intermediate and
low gears being occasioned by en-
countering some unusually bad roads.
After the women have visited the
San Diego exposition, toured southern
California and have seen the San
Francisco fair, they will begin the
return trip overland in July follow
ing the Lincoln highway.

GROWING DEMAND FOR
American Cars ABROAD

With every British automobile fac
tory engaged in turning out war mu-
nitions and cars for the Allies. Amer
ican-made motor cars are gaining a
still firmer grip on the European mar
ket, according to George Hutton, a
well known automobile engineer Of
Dublin, Ireland
Notwithstanding the unsettled con-
ditions and the fact that good many
of our able-bodied men are at the
front, there still continues a very
brisk demand for the better grade Of
American car" says MIR. Hutton. THE
we'll built Yankee car equipped with
self-starter. electric lights and other
conveniences, is meeting with a tre-
mendous demand and our only prob
lem is securing enough cars to go
around.
81 was fortunate enough to secure
the first Dodge Brothers car shipped
into ireland and I have driven It over
5000 miles, covering practically every
county. This machine, with its won
derful hill climbing ability and easy
riding qualities is the type of car
which will sell most readily in Euro
pean markets. In a long journey
through the Wicklow Mountains, l
was able to make all of the steep
grades on high gear with this car
and had little trouble on the rough
est Of our country roads"
After driving his Dodge Brothers
car for the past few months, Mr. Hut
ton has decided to visit the United
States in an effort TO secure the sales
rights for the car in Ireland. He is
particularly pleased with the hand
some new roadster models which are
now being shipped from the Detroit
factory. and intends to have one ship

CAPITOL HILL
IMPORTANT Gas RULING
Service Commission Decides Interest
ing Controversy Concerning the
Peoples Company

The Public Service Commission to-
day in approving franchise ordinance
between the Peoples Natural Gas Com
pany and the Borough of Juniata de-
clared that "no company has the right
to expect commission to protect il
against the competition of product
which can be supplied at less than one.
half the cost of another product and
answer the same purpose.
The Borough of Juniata approved a
franchise ordinance by which the Peo-
ple's Natural Gas Company is given
rights and privileges for the purpose
of supplying natural gas or manufac-
ture gas for fuel and lighting purposes
for q term of 40 years, but section
in the ordinance provides that the Com
pany shall not have the right to sell
and distribute manufactured gas until
such time as the supply is no longer
sufficient to give adequate service of
natural gas throughout the territory.
Upon the failure of natural gas the
company may then use its pipe lines
and other appliances for the distribu.
tion and sale of manufactured gas.
\ protest against the approval of
the ordinance was filed by the Altoona
Gas, Light & Fuel Company, which
manufactures and sells artificial gas,
supplying the territory which the Nat
ural Gas Company seeks to occupy.
Counsel for the protestant company
presented a large number of decisions
in support of the contention that it
should be protected from competition,
but the Commission finds that none of
these decisions go so far as to say that
an artificial gas company should be
protected in its field from the competi-
tion of natural, gas company.
Should the Peoples Natural Gas
Company desire to enter the business
of manufacturing and selling artificial
gas, it will be necessary to obtain the
consent of the Commonwealth. The
Peoples Natural Gas Company was
originally incorporated to supply nat
ural cas- in the city of Pittsburgh and
castwardly as far as and including the
city of Altoona In 1909 its charter
was amended to take in additional ter
ritory. including the borough of Juni-
alta. 1t obtains its supply of natural
gas from about 500 wells owned by it
and purchases from $500 other wells
in West Virginia.
