Wounded Harrisburg Boy
Reported Dead of Disease

Notified by the War Department
one week ago that her son. Corporal
Burnette Price Long was reported
wounded severely in France. Mrs.

Champion Motor Travels
22,O22.3 Miles in al Days

After travelling, under its own
power, almost 10000 miles, it has
been found necessary to make a
single addition to the equipment of
the famous Maxwell Worlds Nom
Stop Champion. Finally, it had to
be done.
So slip covers have been added.
Only this and nothing more.
The champion is the famous Max
well Whlcn, running for A days and
A nights, without a single momen-
tary stop of the motor, attained the
unheard of distance of 22,O22.3
miles, not in a store-window. but on
the roads. This record is not merely
a manufacturers claim but an ab.
solutely authenticated performance
held under the sanction and strict
observance Of the American Auto
mobile Assoc1ation-the court of last
appeal on all matters pertaining to
American motor records.
This single performance would
have been life-work for any car
but, Immediately after the record
run was finished, the Maxwell Cham
pion was sent on the road and has,
for the past two years, carried the
message OIL Maxwell into almost
every state in the Union, across the
Mexican deserts and into the wilds of
Canada. Battered is the body and
worn is the upholstery-hence, the
latest and only addition to the car
the slip-covers. Still sturdily, how
'ever, this wonderful example of
Maxwell endurance, engine efficiency
and economy, chugs along and is
everywhere the recipient of a re-
markable welcome from lovers of the
best in motors.
No fewer than 26 sets of tires have
done their Bit and been replaced
on the Champion and from present
reports in Texas, where the car now
is, many more will be needed before
the International Wanderer gives its
last gasp and is retired to the happy
hunting ground of good and faithful
servants.
Strangely enough, the Champion
has been i'll every city of importinco
in the United States, except it's birth.
Observation-Disclosures making its
record and plans are now being made
to give it an "Old Home Week. in
the near future.

PUBLIC MUST
DEPEND UPON
MOTOR TRUCK
Overland Transportation Will
Increase, Says Duplex
President

Overland transportation of manu-
other materials by motor trucks will
increase immensely as the winter
months approach, due to an newt
able shortage of railroad shipping
facilities" says H. M. Lee. president
of the Duplex Truck Company, of
Lansing, Mich.
While there was congestion at
the terminals, and shortage of
freight cars last winter, conditions
Will certainly not be improved dur
ing the coming months because the
volume of war supplies to be han
died by the railroads will greatly
exceed that of year ago.
This leaves but one outlet for
many shippers-the motor truck.
And scores of motor truck routes
Will be opened during the winter
months of necessity.
This is an important matter to
the motor truck manufacturer, as
well as the general public which will
come to depend more and more
upon motor trucks for shipment of
freight.
1t is important to the truck
manufacturer because he must now
pulld truck that is absolutely de-
pendaDle 365 days in the year or lose
out on the sale of trucks-hundreds
OF trucks-that will be utilized in
overland transportation work.
Trucks operated between cities
must be built with the year-round
service idea behind them. They
must have the power to haul capac-
lty loads in winter, as we'll as sum-
mer-through snow and ice in the
horth' and mud and gumbo in the
south and west.
Motor trucks in this severe haul
age work must operate without help
IRON service stations and round
the-corner repair shops. They must
pc rugged powerful-equal to any
emergency.
Because of the success with
which 4-wheel drive trucks are be-
ing utilized under most adverse conf
oltlons' we are receiving many in
qulrles from prospective operators
OF motor truck lines. And because
they are dependable in districts
Where roads are imaginary lines be-
tween cities, and where towns are
little more than names, Duplex
trucks will play an important role
IN the overland transportation of
freight during the coming winter. :"

Democratic Club Is
Opposed to Higher Fare

Calling the proposed increase in
fare by the Harrisburg Railways
Company as "unwarranted," branding
its original organization as "al-
legedly high financed" and contend
ing that public welfare" demanded
that it should be made to show
the actual need for the increased
fares so that the present and sub
sequent generations shall know ex-
actly from the record the reasons for
the move" the Central Democratic
Club at a meeting last night passed
resolutions directing it's officers to file
a formal complaint with the Public
Service Commission protesting against
the increase. Amid much enthusiasm
the resolutions were unanimously
passed by the body.
The fund being collected by Charles
F. Quinn, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, for financing a
legal hearing of the case, was added
to yesterday by a check from Car
penters' Union, No. 2S7 for s25 which
brings the total to date to $142.50.

AUTO CHANGED
METHODS IN WAR
Today Army Transportation
Is a Marvel of
Speed

How the automobile has revolu-
tionized methods of warfare was re-
Gently pointed out by President Sam
uel P. Colt of the United States Rub
Der Company, manufacturers of
United States tires.
I'm the days of the Civil War;"
said Colonel Colt, transportation
was slow and tedious, being mostly
in the hands of the obstinate army
mule and the profane skinner. OPP
erations and maneuvers which are
carried on daily in this war would
have been impossible then because
of the tardy distribution of supplies
and armament.
To-day army transportation is a
marvel of speed and dependability,
and rubber has been largely respons-
ible for the change. The fast motor
truck of to-day could not have been
developed on steel tires, or on tires
of any known material other than
rubber. Motor trucks carry sup
plies for soldiers, ammunition for
their guns, and even the soldiers
themselves, making the army of to-
day more than ever dependent upon
mechanical transportation for it's ef-
fectiveness. The entente armies at
the present time use in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to 100000 motor
trucks.
The passenger automobiles with
rubber tires make it possible for the
commanders to oversee operations
on twenty, thirty, fifty and even one
hundred-mile fronts. They make it
possible for wounded men to be
quickly and carefully carried from
the battlefield to the modern hos
pitfalls. Thousands of lives are
weekly saved in this way. The mo-
torcycle takes the place of the
mounted dispatch bearer of other
days. The total number of motor
cars in use by the entente allies, eX-
elusive of trucks. is approximately
100000"

Fix Price and Demand Full

Great energy is never more than
a contributing factor to a desirable

to failure" says the local dealer in
bort cars.
Il often think of this fact in OBJ

so common is the prospect who first
fixes a price in his mind and then
demands full value. But the Tirst

type seldom.
The second type generally has in
mind just this: How much can

CO. ON
Big WAR BASIS
Have One Hundred Per Cent.
War Work Factory
From Now On

The entire resources of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company, plant and
man power, are to be devoted to war
work from now on. This announce
ment of a 100 per cent. war factory
was made to dealers and the public
to-day by Alvan Macauley, president
and general manager of the COM
pany.
War essentials to which Packard
now devotes itself exclusively are
airplane engines, motor trucks, air.
planes and war tractors. The re-
sources dedicated to the govern
ment's win-the-war program include
the entire Packard plant of sixty
one factory buildings covering fifty
six acres of ground, unsurpassed
shop facilities, a rapidly growing
force of employees now numbering
$4,000 men and women-all with a
production capacity mounting to-
ward $100,000,000 a year.
In conformity with the wishes of
the government, the Packard,
through it's motor transport depart
ment, will deliver trucks. to essential
industries only, cooperating to the
fullest degree with the war indus
tries board and the highways trans
port committee. All other new
product will be taken direct for the
military use of the government.
Thousands of Packard trucks are al
ready in active service on the west
ern front.
Packard service will be main
tanned on the thousands of Packard
trucks now in use and on the $4,000
Packard passenger cars. The trucks
keep essential business going, and
most of the cars are devoted to es-
sential transportation. Both these
factors work to relieve the present
over-taxed railroad traffic. This
service will be furnished through the
Packard's countrywide institution
for service. Service stations and
dealers will be supplied with essen
tial parts.
This announcement is but pub
lication of a fact already accom-
plished," said Mr.. Macauley. THE
President of the United States has
said that this is the crisis of the
war. 1t is no time for half meas
ures. From now on, Packard is 100
per cent. in government service.
while supplying the govern
ment's military needs to the best Of
our ability, we shall try to maintain
through the furnishing of trucks to
essential industries and the continu-
ing of service on Packard vehicles
now in use, that public confidence
and good will which the Packard
regards as it's finest asset. The Pack
ard company is in business perma-
nently. and our. obligation to the
public is second only to our obliga-
ton to the government"

the one that suits him best in ap-
pearance, construction and perform
portant and deciding point-who
built it.?
"Other things being equal, the old
est, strongest and most apparently
permanent manufacturer should be
preferred. After we have shown the
excellence of the bort as a solid
value car, we feel as though the
argument is incomplete without add
ing the story of the bort Motor Car
Company. This old concern of high
ideals and rating standing back OF
the car. means slow depreciation and
depreciation after all is the big Gle
ment of an investment"

Tells Why Miners Are
Striking For Higher Wages

A schedule of the rate of pay of
the men at the Williamstown col
liery of the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany has been sent to the Telegraph
by a miner to show why they are
striking for a higher rate of pay.
The letter follows:
Williamstown, Sept. 19.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I note IN your paper that D. v.
Randall. an official of the company
has made the announcement that
many miners average more than
5000 a month, while envelopes con-
tanning $500 and $400 are not En-
common among the men.

state to the public that of the 1,129
union men employed at the Will
Jamestown colliery, that only about
80 per cent. are miners and the rest

OF the motor car have found that
Model 80 gives them the service they
need and at the same time reduces
the cost of operation considerably.
with the closing of the summer
months will come the call for smore
closed models. The WHY'S Overland
Company has prepared for this sit
uation with the Model 80 Sedan.

1EH1GH COAL & NAVIGATION co
Starts New Output Work On Summit hill Mine Burning for Sixty Years.

Today is the sixtieth anniversary of the fire at Summit Hill and mark ed renewed efforts on the part of the Lehfgh Coal & Navigation Co. to "kill two birds with the one stone" by starting Q new stripping work to get more tonnage and to attempt stamp ing out the fire at the same time.
 Over $1,0Oo,ooO has been spent to confine this mine fire. It is now hoped to save tens of thousands of tons of the very best anthracite out of the fire area before 1t shall be consumed. Under the direction of Vice President Ludlow a large force of workmen began work in a new sector whth steam shovels. The plan Is to strip or remove the top of the mountain that overIies the burn ing section and take away veins of coal that lie in the path of the fire. The area to be stripped is 400 yards wide and mile long. The average stripping depth ia 40 feet.
 The Summit Hill fire was caused by the nartns lamp in a miners cap as he was going out at the end of his days work. The flame ignited an | o4l-sdMked timber and the next morning the tunnel entrance was the mouth of a roaring furnace. De, l spite all efforts the fire has never been ezting ngt1ished.
