OLD MOTOR UTILIZED
 BY MINE OWNER

tor for hauling cars in q coal mine at Brisbin, Pa
 The owners found that this Overland car took the place of 5000 mine motor and it certainly has given the most eff eient service at it's unique task. It is in constant use hauling cars from the mine to the coal breakers, with an average hauling capacity of 15 filled cars per trip.
 Before the Overlands installation the company used mules for this work and it was found that the car could accom- plish an equal amount of work in much less time and at considerably less cost Tonnage has increased 500 per cent and the Overland takes care of 1t. The car today is vastly different in appearance than when it left the factory five years ago. The body, hood over the motor and steering wheel still remain unchanged but the wheels have been replaced by heavy, Hanged, iron wheels of railroad type The chassis has been fastened to a heavy framework of wood and iron, raising it several feet off the ground, The mechanical units. such as transmission and diffrential gears, still remain the same and the cost of making the change was very small

). ?. KNAPP TALKS ABOUT GOOD TIMES Dealer Tells of Selling All the Paige Detroits He Can
 Get at Present

D. P. Knapp of the Detroit, Motor Car company considers the present era of prosperity the greatest ever seen by this section. He handles the Paige Detroit automobiles and reports the sale of four solid carloads of Paiges during the past 90 days In speaking of his success, MT. Knapp said:
 I have no reason to complain about the times. Over the whole district people are making good salaries and are spend- ing their money. I have sold a number of Paiges and some secondhand cars without a great deal of trouble. I am of the opinion the prosperity we are having at present is here to remain per- manently. The mills all over the district are running full blast and every one is working full shift each day.
 When the mines, mills. and steel in- dustries have all the orders they can Ill, it Is cnch we are bound to prosper. The Paige Detroit company is running it's large factories at full capacity and have more orders on file than 1t can de- liver at the present time. Its success in the automobile business Is considered wonderful. The Paige Detroit company is one of the finest automobile concerns in the world and each year it has had to add to it's immense factories"

Railroads Busy Hauling Coal

TOIIl lile TuLduClplild LeuScI.
 Fine day. I remarked to my friend the Coal Baron. Yes" he answered, just 300 per cent better than those hot times the week before last
 Coal barons, you know, usually figure rom the pocketbook out. so I knew he
 eferred to his own business. e.
 That little crispness, that suggestion of frost has made our coal sales quad ruple. Frost is white, but it acts like a red flag to warn consumers of fuel that they had better stock up."
 His mines are about three hundred niles from Philadelphia, and he aston shed me by saying that freight car did not on the average make more than two round trips from the mines to tide water in one month.
 It is probable that 100o0,000 tons of American coal are in transit and moving toward a market all the time. That gives you dim notion of what modern trans oortation means to the people and why the first suggestion of coming snow and ce and frozen tracks and delayed trains spurs into action big fuel consumes. and so warns the heart of the coal barons.

 The duchess Is one of those really concerned about the Zeppe but that's hardly to be wondered at because she has so many beautiful possessions. It is quite old news and no doubt I have recorded it, that she had the roof of Sunderland House made bomb proof when the Zepps first started coming this way. She has also had little cell, lar built under Sunderland House where she had slowed away various lovely things which she could not send to her bank.
