T"-HEAD MOTOR
IN CROW-ELKHART
Monn Bros, Local Representa-
tive, Tells Interesting Bit
of History

An interesting bit of history in con-
nection with the Crow -Elkhart "35
has been brought out by Monn Bros,
local representatives of the car.
President Martin r. Crow of the
Crow Elkhart Motor Co., has written
q book on the subject of mine Year.
Chassis" which brings out some fact.
that are interesting in connection with
the history of the automobile industry
and his Crow Elkhart "35."
President Crow for nine years has
been building the same chassis. each
year adding refinements and engineer
ing niceties to the car.
That it is one of the most up date
cars in the industry is evidenced. by
its use of the "L"-head motor. One OF
the first cars manufactured with the
present proved type of "L"-head mo-
tor was the Crow -Elkhart "35" nine
years ago.
Such improvements have been made
as enlarged valves; increasing the
length and size of bearings; adopted
small port holes i'll the pistons to con-
serve oil consumption; larger crank
shaft: valve cover plates were added
in 1915 for their freedom from DUST in
1914 hellicaf cut gears were added and
tn gear case was placed at front of
the motor to eliminate noise. In 1916
the cylinder head was made detach-
able. General improvements were
made in 1916. with the result that to-
day the chassis is considered close TO
perfection and records of 10000 to
100000 miles of road service are COM
mon.

izing the gasoline at a low external
temperature.
The construction of the overhead
valves make tappett adjustment easy.
Removing the cylinder head, which
contains all the valves, makes valve
grinding and the removal of carbon
extremely simple and easy. A distinc-
tive feature of the oiling system is the
substitution of pilot light on the
dash for the customary oil gauge. to
provide q positive warning. And it's
no trick to remove the oil pan. BY
turning a few cap screws, the crank
shaft and crankshaft bearings are eX-
posed
MIR. Redmond, in pointing out these
features, said: Accessibility is one of
the several qualities demanded by dis
eliminating buyers of automobiles.
They not only want handsome and
comfortable bodies but car construc-
ton that can be easily investigated
for repairs when necessary. / believe
the Oakland cars have this advantage
to q marked degree"
In the chassis of the Sensible SIX
two important changes are noted, in
the spring suspension and in the brak-
ing system. Semi-eiliptic instead of
three-quarter elliptic springs are used
In the rear. These rear springs. fifty
one inches in length. are unusually
long for the wheelbase. They are
hung directly under the side members
of the frame and therefore directly
under the body at the extreme of its
width. This gives perfectly balanced
spring support to the body under all
conditions and the form and length
of the springs insure riding comfort.
The springs are fixed to the underside
of the frame at the front end and held
by swinging clevis or shackle at the
rear. Final drive is through these
rear springs.
The bodies for the new Sensible Six
are entirely new. having greater width
and depth. In line, proportion and
general beauty of design, the Oakland
bodies are notably artistic. The wheel
base has been heightened to 112
inches and tire size is now 50 by 4
inches. The genuine leather uphol-
stery is plated. The weight of the
touring car is also pounds. or less
than fifty-three pounds per horse
power developed by the motor.

MOST STRIKING
Andrew Redmond, Local Dis

New Models

The Oakland exhibit at the auto

glass panels. The Oakland line is
handled in Harrisburg and vicinity
by Andrew Redmond, of Third and

In the motor of the new Sensible
Six, the bore and stroke are the same
as last season. 13-16x4A inches
but the speed has been increased by
a change in the valve action. by which
the engine develops IL horsepower at

available, the hot air jacket around

Hupp Motorcar Executive
Tells of Changes During
Recent Years
By Lee Anderson.

Nice-president Hupp Motor Car Cor
poration.
While the public has been kept well
informed of every other phase of the
motor car industry. little has been said
of the great and complete change
which has taken place in automobile
advertising. in the last few years.
Facts and proofs of performance and
testimonials of owners have taken the
place of the old sensational style OF
Singing words into catchy phrases and
the earlier days. The growth of Truth
in Advertising" could not better be
proved than by comparing automobile
advertising of five years ago with that
=, This, in a way. was largely due to
the old policy of the yearly model.
The public expected each concern to
announce new car each season. Com
panies We'd with each other to be the
first to announce something new and
1t was. up to the advertising managers
70 make as much noise as possible.
Sensational advertising was the result
and Webster was canvassed for new
words to coin new phrases.
The engineering department was al
lowed to perfect its model the produc-
tion was standardized, the sales depart
men could map out it's campaigns with :
out the constant changes in plans; the
aadyertising department Immediately
began to produce copy filled with facts
instead of fiction or simply extrava-
CANT claims.
This change can be noticed all along
the line. 1t is found in both newspaper
and magazine advertising. You will
notice 1t on the billboards and in win
dow displays 1t is found in the cata-
logs and in all the literature that is
produced. To-day. when you find a
motor car company rushing into ex-
travagant claims or gushing too liber-
ally of mere words, you may be sure
that company has something to hide.
The worth while product can be sold
on facts; it is backed by full proof of
every claim made for it.

DODGE BROS. SHOW
GREAT INCREASE
c. III. Barner, Local Manager of
Keystone Motor Car Co.,
Shows Big Gains

1n-less than two years of business,
Dodge Brothers, makers of the Dodge
cars, have distributed to owners more
than 100000 cars.
This means a sales total of S7S,500,-
600, or with freight cost added, con-
siderably more than SS0,000,0OO
There have been no bursts of speed
in the upbuilding of this great busi-
ness.
At no time has there been even an
attempt at stimulation of sales or of
production.
Never for single day has produc-
ton been speeded up for the sake of
attaining a total.
On the contrary, it has been held
down every day within the limits of
close, careful, conscientious manufac-
turing.
Both production and sales have
been stable, steady and spontaneous
scrupulous care in the one, producing
huge volume in the other.
At this moment, as at every other
period, although producing a large
volume every day, Dodge Brothers
are losing business by their policy
of keeping production within the
bounds of continuous betterment.
The plant at Detroit is one of the
largest in the country, with floor
space in excess of seventy-one acres
and almost $4,000 employees. New addi-
tions are constantly being erected and
the number of workers added to.
Dodge Brothers are unique in that
there has never been dollar of out
side money put into the business. 1t
is owned in its entirety by the two
brothers-John +. and Horace e.
Dodge.
The Dodge car is handled in Harris
burg by the Keystone Motor Car Co.,
57-103 South Cameron ST., which had
a remarkable sales year in 1916, and
is rushed with new orders at the pres--
ent time.

Ills HlOnLH AHlcHCd VIII reach the HISL
great crisis since she entered the world war
All Europe is watching us with eager eyes,
Germany in particular IS noting our every move
She is worried at last, yet hopeful, for Germany
knows that before we entered the war there
was variety of opinion In our midst, and she
is still hopeful that even now when we are in
the war that we Americans may show divided
sentiments. She still processes to count upon
our apathy, our indifference.
St. May's county, as part and parcel Of the
great American nation now faces real test Of
loyalty. We are deeper into the war; our own
sons are already in the training camps and we
are called upon to lend our savings for second
and greater Liberty Loan of $3,000,000,000,
OF which this county is expected to furnish In
the neighborhood of 100000.
Of course, this sum will be raised Gigan-
tic, though it is, the fund is small for rich
America, and St Mays will respond as she
did before and stand with her sister counties Of
Maryland in the front rank Of the financial
hackers of the nation.
Germany also is negotiating another bond
sale this month, and from what she has done in
the passive might as well concede that it will
be success 1t remains for us to uphold our
national honor and our county pride by SUBJ
scribing and over subscribing the quota allotted
to us. We know that Germany has spies in
every part Of the United States to report where,
if anywhere, our loan meets with disaster. We
must make this second Liberty Loan sweep
ing, soul-stining success. 4a
The strength of the blow that we can de-
liver to Prussian Monarchy depends on the size
Of the National war chest. The harder we
strike the sooner the war will be over, the
sooner the exodus Of our boys will STOP and
every citizen who buys Liberty Bond canfeel
that he is Fastening the day Of peace and is
keeping some boy, perhaps ten Of them, at home
and away from the death-dealing trenches Of
Europe
Our soldiers must cat, wear clothes, carry
guns for defense land surely we alEwant extra
comforts for them, too. That is, what your
money will eventually buy when you subscribe
to this loan. The boys in the training camps
are watching us to see if we will be as prompt
in offering our dollars as they have been in Of
fering their lives Don'tkeep them in suspense.
Buy Liberty Bond, and buy il now Don
wait for the closing days Of the campaign. The
boys did not wait until Germany invaded
America We are not asked to incur any nsk,
not even to our money, but merely to lend It at
fair rate Of interest and on the best security in

BOND ISSUE WINS
BY BIG MAJORITY

The election held on Tuesday,
June 5, for the purpose of voting
authority to the Board of
School Trustees of the Roanoke
Rapids Graded Schools District
to issue bonds not to exceed
SIS, 600. 90 and to levy taxes not
to exceed 60c on'.the hundred dol
lars, was carried by a majority
of 342 for schools, against Al
against schools,
The total registration was $40,
votes neces sary to carry the
election, 256, majority in excess
of minimum, sc, actual majority
of votes cast, 30l.
The election was quiet and
unmarked by contest or alterca-
ton of any kind. Automobiles
and trucks operated a shuttle
service from the several mills
to the polls, bringing down all
voters who wished to exercise
the franchise.
The carrying of this election
marks the greatest step forward
yet taken in the Roanoke Rapids
Graded School District. 1t will
make unnecessary the holding of
another school bond election for
several years, as the School Board
is clothed with authority to issue
$45, 10000 of bonds in excess of
the $50, 600. 90 already issued.
At present the School Board
only contemplates the issuanceof
$40, 600. 90 in bonds TO be used to
pay off the balance still due on
the last school buildings erected
and to fit up rooms in both build
ings to take care of the increase
in attendance expected this fall.
The tax rate for next year will
be 4Oc on the hundred dollars.

HON. &. F. MIDyETTE
DELIVERS ADDRESS

In spite of threatened incle-
ment weather and the consequent
reduction in the size of the
audience, the patriotic rally
planned by the Liberty Loan
Bond Committee went forward
according to schedule and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who
braved the threatened storm.
In a spirited and eloquent ad-
dress, Hon. w. L. Long stated
the object of the rally, the plans
and purposes of the Liberty Loan
Bond Committee and plead for
strenuous and efficient patriotism
on the part of the people Of this
community. Mr.. Long then IN
troduced Hon. Garland E. Mid
yette, of Jackson, Solicitor for
the Third Judicial District.
1t was Mr.. Midyette's first ad-
dress toour citizensandit itisputting
it mildly indeed to say that it W; s
enjoyed by everyone who heal d
it. The Solicitor is an eloq lent
speaker and he was deeply en-
thused over his subject. He out
lined in brilliant and incisive
fashion the causes which lead
this country to war, the high
purposes which it holds, and the
stern determination and spirit of
self-sacrifice necessary to carry
the war to a successful conclu-
sion. He alluded to the brill ant
record of Halifax county in for.
mer wars and declared that in
his opinion the spirit of our
fathers still lived in their sons.
The concert rendered by the
Rosemary Concert Band both be-
fore and after the speeches was
greatly enjoyed, the program of
the evening being heightened by
a request from Mr.. Long that
the band play one more piece.
