Serbs Drive Cadillacs
Over the Precipice

When Serbia became involved in the
war speculation arose to the fate of
the Cadillac cars which that country
pressed into service at the beginning OF
hostilities. Now their fate is known.
They were destroyed to prevent their
falling into possession of the hostile
armies.
\ writer in leading magazine re-
grets that, since the thing had to be
done, there were no American small
boys present to witness the spectacle.
For ii was q spectacle destruction.
The method this man relates was to
open UP the cars on a road with a right
angle turn and sheer drop of 400 feet
to a little stream.
1T was great game" he says. "A
long, steady Cadillac took the brink like
trained hunter, leaping far out over
the edge. AS the wheels were suddenly
released from the friction of the road,
the car roared and trembled like a live
animal during the instant that 1t hung
upright, held by its own momentum,
Then 1t turned its nose downward and
fell true as plummet until it struck
the steep slope, down which 1t turned
quick somersaults, the tires bursting
with bangs that could be heard above
the crash, finally rolling into the
stream"
a ponderous German limousine fol-
lowed, and tucked its nose into the slope
without spectacular leap. An expen-
sive-looking Italian car behaved much

Chalmers Enjoying
Big Export Business

Orders now on hand at the Chalmers
Motor Company indicate a record busi-
ness in exports to foreign countries
during the coming year. Russia is prov
Ing one of the best customers for
American built cars and over 100 Chal-
mers SiS-30's will be shipped to Petro-
grad within the next two weeks
Following the recent visit OF T. NJ.
Eirker, foreign representative of the
Chalmers Company OF South America,
exports to Latin America countries have
received big impetus. with the Ar
gentine Republic leading in volume of
sales. South Africa, Australia and In
dia have also received big Chalmers
shipments in the past few months.
Although our export business has
doubled in volume. practically none of
the cars shipped abroad are being used
for war purposes" says e. C. Morse,
Vice-president and general manager.
That the foreign dealers are finding
eager buyers despite excessive war du-
ties and tariffs is evidenced by the
number of repeat orders we receive
from Holland, Sweden, Greece and 9TH
er points in or near the war zone.
"The Chalmers Company has made
no organized effort to establish a for
eign business. We have simply skim
med the cream of the orders that came
our way without endeavoring to en-
large this end of the business. This
was mainly due to the record breaking
sales made In this country. With large
ly increased production and manufac-
turing facilities for 1917. we see no
reason why our exports during the COM
ing year should not become one of the
most important items on our business
calendar"

Touring Sedan Popular
For Winter Driving

"The Overland touring sedan of the
convertible type seems to be designed
particularly for just these autumn
days." says Carl Hanson of the over
land-Harrisburg Company.
THE call of the open is hard thing
to resist and the Fall afternoons appeal
to all drivers. When the dusk OF even
ing brings n frosty tang to the air.
the convenience of closed car is even
more appreciated.
Each new season has brought us
some advantage in motorcars. Some
times this comes in the form of me-
chanical change; sometimes in newer
and better body lines.
This year the improvement has taken
the form of q convertible touring Sc
dan. Here is car that is bound to
appeal to that class which wants TO use
a car all the year around.
"The automobile owner no longer
wants to confine his driving to the sum-
mer alone; many owners cannot aHoru
to have two cars-a touring car for
summer and limousine for winter
"They have tried the removable top,
but that wasn't quite what they want
ed.
"The new Overland Model SIS tour
ing sedan-on either four or siN-cylin-
der chassis-gives the motorist all the
advantages he has sought.
Mechanically, the Overland touring
sedan is like the open touring car; the
equipment is the same.
For wintry or stormy weather, this
car is an ideal conveyance. For the
dinner, opera, or dance no better pro-
lection can be imagined.
For fair weather, the touring sedan
is a touring car with top up. The
upper part of the doors slide into the
lower section. The front and rear win
dows on each side are easily removed.
The top is permanent. Experience has
proved that the most comfortable way
to drive is with the top up. no matter
what season of the year.
The Overland Model So touring Sc
dan accommodates five passengers. The
front seats are roomy chairs with pas
sageway between. The rear seat accom-
modates three. There Is one door on
each side. These doors are provided
with tumbler locks; also with push
button catch; it is only necessary to
touch the button to open the door au-
tomatically from inside or out.
The interior finish and appointments
of the Model So touring sedan have left
nothing to be desired. The gray cloth
upholstery is deep and soft; the trim
ming throughout is luxurious enough
to satisfy the most eXacting taste. The
rear windows have silk curtains. An
electric dome light has been provided.
Heavy silk cord robe rails are on the
back of the front seats. In short, every
luxury, every convenience. every es-
sential comfort, whether for summer or
winter driving can be found in these
new Overland convertible touring Sc
dams"

No Legal Proof of Mans
Death in Pennsy Wreck

Lewistown, Dec. 16. Is Jacob
Hoff dead or alive? This question
Is now puzzling his relatives. Hoff is
believed to have been one of the two
victims of the Pennsylvania wreck on
October 6, when the Mercantile ex-
press dashed into the rear of a stock
train at Granville bridge.
Flagman Phillip Sillinger, of the
stock train, testified before the coro-
ner's jury that Hon was stretched on
locker in the caboose when he walk
ed to the rear platform to read signals
a few seconds before the crash, but a
thorough search of the debris failed to
reveal any evidence of the missing
man, other than a silver watch inden-
titled by a son as Hoff's property.
Coroner j. w. Mitchell is unable to
declare Hof legally dead without
proof of death.

COURT GRANTS
MONEY FOR POOR
Judge Sadler Decides in Favor
of Cumberland County
Poor Board

Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 16.-In special
opinion filed late yesterday afternoon,
Judge Sadler grants the mandamus
asked by the Board of Poor Directors
against the County Commissioners for
an additional appropriation of $4,000
to meet the balance of bills outstand-
ing for the year. The Poor Board
claimed that due to legacy of unpaid
bills from the former administration,
amounting to $4,000, coupled with the
increased cost of materials and sup
plies, that a deficit in this amount ex-
listed and that much suffering was
caused among the inmates at the
County Home and those who depend
on outdoor aid. The argument in the
case was heard Wednesday by Judge
Sadler.

HARLEY-DAvIDsoN BICYCLES ALSO

News of unusual interest to the local
motorcycle and bicycle trade is the an
nouncement that the Harley Davidson
Motor Company is adding a line of BIZ
cycles to its regular motorcycle pro-
duction. Like the big brother, the
Harley-Davidson will be characterized
by Its coat of olive drab. The decision
to market bicycles came after several
seasons of demand on the part of deal
ers and comes at a time when the Har-
ley-Davidson people can be of inesti-
mable benefit to the bicycle industry
with its determinations to standardize
its bicycle. Entering the new field un-
encumbered with many of the things
that have survived the pioneer bicycle
days, the Harley-Davidson company is
specializing on interchangeability of
parts and selling of equipped models.
Stripped bicycles will not be sold.

Tremendous Demand For
New Series 18 Studebaker

"If the automobile outlook for 1917
may be measured by the Studebaker
situation, the new year is going to far
outstrip any that have gone before"
So says L. ]. Ollier. vice-president in
charge of sales of the Studebaker Cor
poration. in commenting upon the splen-
did public reception given the new
Series IS Studebaker cars last week.
And it is surprising how much in
terest is displayed by the general pub
lie in the plans of automobile makers
relative to their new models" continued
Mr.. Ollter. This has been very no
ticeably emphasized the past week
since the Series Is models were an
nounced. Word received from our
branches and the dealers the country
over is to one effect, that never be-
fore has such interest and enthusiasm
been shown over new models.
One thing that has impressed me
very forcibly. in connection with the
bringing out of our new models, is
the keen interest displayed by the pub
lie in the reading of our newspaper ad-
vertisement. The crowded condition of
dealers salesrooms on the day fol-
lowing publication of this advertise
ment seems to prove conclusively that
the buying public does read, and fol-
low very closely, the advertisements
appearing in the daily newspapers.
THE new Series IS cars are evident
ly destined to become even more popu-
lar than their tremendously popular
predecessors, the Series II Studebak-
ers. The motorcar buying public has
come to a full realization that the day
OF high prices for fine cars has passed
Il unhesitatingly predict the biggest
year the automobile industry has ever
experienced. The American public has
come to have a keener appreciation of
the manifold benefits offered to them
by the modern automobile.
I'VE are indeed on the threshold OF
the greatest buying year the automo-
bile industry has ever seen. There has
never been anything ever to approach
the present and ever-increasing demand
for cars. And this condition is not re-
stricted to any one section of the coun-
try. In the large cities and small ones,
In town and country, among city folk
and farmers, everywhere there seems
to be that same inslstent and persist
ent demand. Everywhere people want
automobiles and have the ready money
with which to purchase them. AS for
Studebaker-well from present indi-
cations. l am of the opinion that our
anticipated production of 10000 cars
during 1917 will be wholly inadequate
to satisfy the demand. But we are
determined to try and keep pace with
orders, so that buyers of Studebaker
cars will not be disappointed on de-
| liveries. We are doing everything pos
sible to prevent shortage of our pro-
duct"
