Cadillac Runs 100 Miles
in 81 Minutes, As Seconds

Shattering speed records for 100
miles and for the hour, the new eight
cylinder Cadillac established itself as
America, If not in the world.
The distance covered during the first
sixty minutes was 72.h miles and 100
utes. forty-six seconds. This latter is
an average of 72.49 miles per hour, the
car therefore showing an increase in
speed as the miles I,Gress increased. - o.,.u
American touring car records, but 1T
broke the records established only
about two hours previously by another
Cadillac of the same type.
The second car beat the first by 1.35
miles for the hour and the time vari-
alton was only one minute. thirty. and
ing wonderful uniformity in the rum
ming Of the two cars.
The aggregate time Of the two cars
for 200 miles was l67 minutes, two
and four-fifths seconds
The tests were conducted primarily
for the purpose of trying out certain
principles in designing, and engineer
merely incidental thereto.
The cars used We're the seven pas
senger type, fully equipped including
top, windshield. extra wheel and tire.
The first car was. one which had
previously been used for some expert
mental work. while the second was
brand new, taken direct. from the
and driven over the road to Chicago.
Its speedometer showed only 345
miles when the trials were started on
the new speedway in the city named.
magnificent feature of the per-
formance was the fact that the cars
were not piloted by professionals but
by members of the experimental and
engineering departments of the fac
tory. The driver Os the car which cs-
tablisned the better record had not
driven ten miles on a track prior to
this event.
Commenting upon the trials, Cen
eral Manager Leland said: "The feat
means little to the average motorist
from speed standpoint, for the rea-
son that not one person in a thousand
ever cares to ride so fast, 1t is most
significant, however, because of its
indication of the stamina of the cars
Notwithstanding the terrific strains
imposed by motor speeds Of from
$500 to 5000 revolutions per minute
and the maintenance of these speeds
over so long period, both cars per-
formed perfectly, and IL is immensely
gratifying to observe the remarkable
uniformity in the running of the two
cars.
The achievements are particularly
significant because they were accom-
plished by the same kind of cars that
can be obtained by the everyday pur-
chaser - and not by cars designed
primarily for speed purposes, wherein
az Other things are made subservient
to fast driving"

Constructive Factors
Multiplying in Trade

New York, Oct 2.-Dun's Review
says to-day:
Success of the foreign loan nego-
tiations foreshadows enterprise and
emphasizes the position occupied by
this country in the field of information
al finance. With constructive factors
multiplying, prospects steadily bright
en- and actual gains in business are now
more in keeping with the growth of
optimistic sentiment. Almost without
exception, reports from the leading
centers tell of accommodating evidences
of progress.
Development of Fall business is ex-
ceeding expectations in some quarters
and expanding requirements are a fea-
ture in the dry goods markets, which
are buoyant in response to the rapid
rise in raw cotton. Though the dye-
stuffs shortage continues a handicap
the textile situation generally shows
distinct improvement. Pressure upon
the steel mills is so great that produc-
ers are chiefly concerned with tho
problem of making deliveries, condi-
tions in this respect being further COM
plicated by the resent rush of railroad
equipment orders. The industrial
boom is not alone confined to the East:
1t has spread to the West and South.
and in the latter section manufactur-
ing plants that have been idle for
years are resuming. Weekly bank

street would seriously interfere with
and perhaps end for all time the other
two projects"
The Statement of Reasons
The Planning Commission supported
the resolutions with the following
statement:
The members of the Harrisburg
City Planning Commission, aware Of
tho fact that their action NAV be
taken amiss by some sincere persons.
but realizing the grave importance of
the subject, request the electors of the
city of Harrisburg to withhold their
approval of the proposed increase of
the indebtedness of the city of Harris
ourg by $SOO,0OO for the erection of
a bridge over the Paxton creek valley
al Walnut street for the following req
sons:
Il. The commission favors the con-
struction of a full-width subway AZ
state street by the city in connection
with the Commonwealth and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This
subway, In connection with a curved
boulevard to Walnut street, would serve
the same people just sas safely and
conveniently as bridge at Walnut
street. Besides. such a subway would
be part of the Capitol Park i'm
provement and greatly enhance its
beauty
"2. The commission favors a f,IlI-
width subway at Market street as soon
as possible. The present subway is
obviously Inadequate. Such a subway
would render less necessary a bridge
ct Walnut street.
"3. The commission contemnlates
that the construction of the subway nj
State street shall be by joint action
and expense of the city. the Common
wealth and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. 1t would be difficult to con-
vince the Commonwealth and railroad
company of the necessity of a subway
at State street with bridge only a
square away.
"A. The commission, after much
thought and study, is firmly of the
opinion that the subway at State street
and the reconstructed subway at Mar
ket street are necessary, and after
their completion a bridge at Walnut
street would be unnecessary. The
commission is further of opinion that
the bull ling of bridge at Walnut
street would greatly injure the chance
to complete the other two improve
ments."

HARVEST HANDS
TO BE FURNISHED
State Employment Bureau
Will Take Care to Supply
Agricultural Laborers

Plans made for the new State Bu-
tablished this week by Commissioner
John Price jackson of the Department
of Labor and Industry contemplate an
effort to help farmers get hands for
planting and harvesting as we'll as
market gardening and other work on
the farm. The bureau. which was
created by the last general assembly,
gives Pennsylvania free system of
employment. modelled in part on some
| of those which have been successful
in the German Empire and in other
parts of Europe with some features
taken from systems in American
States and cities. The plan will
be to so distribute information that a
shortage of hands in one industry in
a western section of the State may be
met, provided there is idleness in some
seasonable industry in another sec
tion.
The Bureau has already received
numerous applications from contrac-
tors and other large employers for la
Dor and inquiries have been made by
steel, mining and other companies,
while letters have also been written
by laborers. 1t is believed that the
aid which can be afforded to farmers,
which will be free of cost, will play an
important part in increasing agricul-
tural production. DIR. Jackson said
to-day In discussing the plan to help
farmers get hands:
The labor market is of almost
as great importance to the farmer
as the market for his products.
A. farmer unable to obtain labor
at the proper seasons of the year
may suffer losses of portions of
his crops. AS the machinery of
the State employment bureau Is
developed during the coming
months a special effort will be
made to collect and compile the
names of persons adaptable and
available for work on Pennsylva-
MIA farms. All that information
will be at the disposal of every
farmer in the State. The officials
in charge of the bureau WILL with
out charge, do all in their power
to aid the farmer in solving his
labor problem.
Jacob Lightner, the director of the
bureau, has been at work Investigating
the general conditions in rural dis
tricts and when the bureaus are estab-
lished calls by telephone or by mail
will be handled and the employers put
into touch with unemployed and men
or women be given chances to reach
persons who are hunting aid. THE
State will try primarily to relieve the
unemploym situation and its SER
vices will be as free to farmers as to
any one else" said Mr.. Lightner.
