Motorcar Aiding in
War Savings Activities

Il christen thee Ginger Special" J"
said Harry Lauder as he smashed a
bottle of sparkling ginger ale, with
fitting ceremonies, over the radiator
cap of a new siX-cylinder Stude-
baker touring car. And the famous
Scotch comedian, known the world
over for his inimitable songs and
stories, but saddened now through
the loss of his first BARN in the
great war over there, could not hide
the pleasure that was his in per-
forming the rites on this occasion.
For here was to be a demonstration
of another way the motorcar can be
a help in winning the war-and
hasn't Lauder given up fame, fortune
and his only son in doing his bit to
accomplish this result?
The 'Studebaker car, christened by
the Scot and consecrated to the
cause that is foremost in every loyal
Americans heart, was the gift of the
Los Angeles Studebaker branch, to
be used by the state committee on
war savings and thrift stamps. 1t is
a high powered, vividly hued, pa
triotically decorated machine and
has already attracted widespread at
tention on the coast.
At present the manager of the
state bureau Of advertising of the
war savings and thrift stamps COM
mittees, with her staff-for the man.
ager is one of California's brilliant
public women-is making weekend
trips to the outlying cities in the
Ginger Special" spreading the gos-
pei of patriotism and thrift broad
cast throughout the land. In each
town there is local committee and
it is the aim of the travellers to visit
the various chairmen and put pep"
and ginger into their workers.
So far the Ginger Special has
exceeded the expectations of those
in charge of the great war savings
drive. 1t has seldom failed to startle
the inhabitants of the country towns,
who are curious to learn what these
city folks are doing with firey-red
car decorated with all manner of
advertising banners and flags.
Thousands of Southern California
people have been enlisted in the
cause and steady flow of silver has
been turned into Uncle Sans COM
modious pockets. Everybody has be-
gun to roll up his sleeves and, ac-
cording to the pilot of the Stude-
baker thrift car, it will be but a
short time before Southern Califor-
MAS federal allotment of $25,000,000
will be raised.

Present Demand For
Cars Unprecedented

The present demand for cars is
the greatest and the most insistent
in all my experience" reports Henry
Krohn, sales manager of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company. II
nave known some big selling seasons,
but nothing like what We are now
experiencing. The call for Paige
cars is not coming from any special
section OF the country. The demand
is fairly universal and there is no
part of the United States in which
the market is not active at this ime.
Last fall. after an extensive trip
through the country and q close
study of conditions, 1 predicted that
the dull period which then prevailed
would be followed by rising mar
ket which would develop into a great
spring drive and 1 advised and
warned our dealers to prepare for it.
There were sound reasons for such a
prediction. The present demand,
however, is beyond anything that l
anticipated, and it has filled me with
amaZement.
THE reasons we gave last fall for
the belief that spring would see a
great demand for cars were big
crops. high prices, consequent abund-
ance of money among the farmers,
and the general prosperity every
where due to the placing in circula-
tion of the billions raised for war
contracts.
With the return OF confidence and
business optimism, the demand that
might normally be expected has been
increased by the addition of BUYERS
who were in the market last fall but
because of the uncertainties that
then prevailed postponed the pur-
chase of a car.
There is also this fact to be con-
sidered and We are just beginning to
realize its full significance. The mo-
torcar is now an indispensable util-
ity. In these days more than at any
other time. with the extra demands
the war is making on us, time and
energy must be conserved so that
everyone can increase his production
to the utmost. The motorcar has be-
come a necessity and men of affairs
find they cannot be without one. This
realization of the practical utility and
daily service of the automobile is a
big factor in the present insistent
demand.
"The situation has also been ma
terially effected by the curtailment
of production so that the probable
shortage of cars combined with the
excessive demand will doubtless re-
suit in creating two buyers for every
available car.
I'VE are doing everything in our
power to meet this situation and.
while freight conditions are bad. we
are supplementing our regular ship
ments with daily drive-aways so as
to get the cars to their markets as
fast as possible. The Paige dealers
who are cooperating with us are
going to have their biggest year"

Oil Preparation Protects
Cars on Drive-Aways

During the automobile shows
throughout the country, now draw
ing to a close many visitors who ad-
mired the spick and span beauty of
the Paige Larchmont and other
members of the Paige family, We're
much surprised to learn that-in
many instances-the cars had been
driven from the factory to their
show destination. Not a mark or
blemish of the minutest kind mar
red the original beauty of the cars
which had been driven through
slush and mud hundreds of miles
over the worst possible roads. The
wondering visitors were Informed
that the secret of the matter was
very simple, merely the application
of a we'll known product-white
parafin oil.
AS the Paige, like many of the
other big factories, has been doing
its utmost to help the government re-
lieve the freight congestion by de-
veloping the drive-away to its ut
most possibilities, the employment OF
some means of protecting the glossy
new bodies of the cars was inevi-
table. White paraffin oil serves this
purpose admirably. Purchased at any
drugstore, gallon of 1t when APP
piled with q cloth covers the body of
any car. If, however, 1t is sprayed
on-as is done at the factories be-
fore a drive-way-a gallon will be
sufficient for four cars.
The spray of white paraffin oil
forms a protecting film over the
hody of the. car and catches the
mud and dirt of all kinds which can
no longer be absorbed by the body
finish. When the car reaches its
destination a thorough washing is
sufficient to remove all signs of trav-
ell, the oil causing the dirt to scale
off. A thorough cleansing with warm
water and good car soap, cold
douche and a rub down with a po,-
ishjng chamois leave the body of the
car as fresh. and unscathed as when
1t left the hands of its makers.
The success of this treatment has
done much to enthuse dealers over
the drive-away idea and they are
now focking to the factories and
driving their cars away by the hun
| dreds.

OAKLAND SIX HAS
POWER TO BURN
In Hill Climbing Contest 1t
Shows Remarkable Abil-
ity to Get There

Andrew Redmond, the local dis
tributor of the new Oakland Sensi-
BILE Six, in an interview the other
day, tells how this car performs on
hill. He says:
There isn't hill around Harris
hars but what this little car will go
over the top on high gear. And
there are some hills. The horse
power rating is exceptionally low,
enabling the owner to get in on the
lower rate for his license, yet when
you get behind the wheel, you only
realize just what this car can do.
1t only weighs 2,100 pounds fully
equipped, and with the small sized
tires it takes it makes an excep-
=tionally economical car.
In beauty of outline it is the equal
of many of the higher priced cars.
The clear-cut, graceful lines of the
: hood sloping back to the sloping
Windshield, bring out the distinctive
features of the better car. From
the front doors to the back end of
the car every thing is made not only
for good looks but Cor comfort md
service. The large, roomy seats both
in the rear and the front are all
that can be desired. The upholster-

Winning Wars With
Miles and Minutes

There are many problems, and
grave ones too that have come with
Americas entrance into the great
world conflict but none more import
ant than the great factors of time
and distance" said s. NJ. Williams,
Sales Manager. of the Garford Motor
Truck Company, at the plant in
Lima, Ohio. We must produce more.
And to produce more we must link
every industry closer together. Again
we find these two requisites to speed
ier production looming up.
Time and distance must be over
come. They must loose any former
significance that we have ever placed
upon them and be measured by
newer standards which are on q
plane with the gigantic tasks we
have before us. There are two potent
Factors which enter strongly into
putting production on war basis"
declared Mr.. Williams. These are
the open road and the motor truck.
Better roads mean more miles in
fewer minutes and motor trucks ply
ing regularly over these great high
ways, dependably relieving freight
| congestion equally we'll in both VIM
ter and summer, mean the speed
ing up of industry.
This newer epoch in the demands
upon industry is evidenced by the
! congestion at railroad terminals
which has come as q direct result
or the greater load which must be
borne by the manufacturer. The
government is doing everything that
is humanity possible to correct this
condition but there is a question
whether any great relief may be
expected for some time. In the
meanwhile, trucks are patriotically
and speedily assisting in the nec-
essary relief.
AS the Importance of mechanical
transport becomes impressed upon
the American people, then the mat
ter of better roads and highways be-
comes a more vital factor" con-
tinued Williams. For the highways
of this country will become as nee
essary as the railroad right-of-ways.
And just .as the railroads have
spent time and effort to lessen dis
tances between points by straighten-
ing out their routes so that they
would represent q Decline between
cities and have established grades
which mean easier hauls, just so
will the great highways be planned
and improved to facilitate motor
truck traffic.
The old Romans appreciated the
great Importance of the military
roads and many of these marvels
of engineering skill are still in evil
dence: lasting monuments to their
prowess. Had the Old Romans been
possessed of the modern motor truck
transportation, they could have sub
jugated the whole world.
But we, today, are preparing
through war for peace. The war has
but served to open our eyes to our
needs in highway transportation"

New Bureau to Relieve
Transportation Perplexity

Raymond. Beck, director of the
B. f. Goodrich Rubber Company's
national touring bureau, and now
Chief Engineer of the highway trans
port committee of the Council of
National Defense. declares that the
planned establishment of Return
Loads Bureaus in all cities east of
the Mississippi river will materially
relieve the transportation perpleXity.
Fourteen of these bureaus have been
in operation in the state of Connect
icut for the past six months ana
have proved so successful, declares
Mr.. Beck, that they will probably
be retained as permanent lnsu-
tuition. Their function is to bring
the mover of goods and the shipper
of goods to a thorough understand
ing of each others problems and
needs.
When all established. the bureaus
will work directly under the guid-
ance of the various state Councils
of National Defense.
This is the plan: In as many GEN.
ters as possible will be established
a bureau whose function will be TO
expedite the use of the automoDlle
in hauls 1t is felt by officials at
Washington that the empty truck
should be put to advantage wherever
possible, or, in other words, a truck
should be loaded both ways, so as to
obtain the maximum efficiency. In
communities where many trucks are
engaged in short hauls, it is believed
reciprocity will solve the question
| Once truck operator has delivered
load i'll a certain center he is
h. n
located there, which is generally the
local chamber of commerce. and ad-
wise them that If any shipper has
consignment of goods destined for
the spot TO which he is returning,
or a way town, he will be glad to
accept it. The same practice should
be followed by the shipper or opera
tor befriended when the latter has
carried a load to another comnu-
nifty. This system gives the small
shipper or operator greater breadth
of operation, and decreases the up
keep cost for the large operator in
performing the same service to nm.
; According to Mr. Beck the high
way transport committee is compll-
ing maps of highways showing the
location of probable Return Loads
Bureaus. The state headquarters OF
the bureaus SEND out poSIal carus
to all truck owners, requesting in
formation as follows: the number
of trucks operated by the owner;
whether or not the trucks are avail
able for overland hauling; the sizes
of the trucks; what they can best
carry; and the routes they usually
run over and how often. From this
information a file is compiled which
is sent to each of the local bureaus
The routes are numbered and in
this manner each bureau knows
exactly what trucks are available
for each and every route in the state.
Thus shipment from one town can
be routed to almost any other sec
ton. of the state. A record is also
| furnished the truck operators of
the firms desiring short haul service,
the character of the goods to be
carried and the approximate size of
the shipments.
aside from the inter-city hauling,
our committee is making an effort to
add to the efficiency of both horse
trucks and motor trucks in their
work on city streets" said Mr.. Beck.

HBG. AUTOCO.
GETS BIG ORDER
Places Several Trucks With
Harrisburg Banana &
Fruit Co.

During the past week the Harris
burg Auto Company has landed sew
eral large orders in both trucks and
tractors.
One order placed with this COM
pany by the Harrisburg Banana and
Fruit Company at Second and Chest
nut street, consists of two three
quarter ton REQ Speed Wagons and
a REQ Model ] two-ton truck. One
of these three-quarter ton trucks
will be delivered at once and the
other three will be delivered as soon
as the Harrisburg Auto Company can
get them, which will be some time
in April.
This makes a fleet of six REQ
trucks (three 2-ton and three y =
ton), that is required to do the de-
livering for this progressive whole
sale produce house.
Big Tractor Sales
In addition to doing q booming
business in autom obiles the Harris

Caterpillar and the Beeman Tractors.
These two tractors are creating q

tractor on the farm is as much in

DDS of doing the work as the pres

farmers use the cradle or scythe to
harvest their crops to-day? Not
very many. And the farmer is as
progressive as any one in the busi-
ness world. They realize the golden
opportunities in motive power on the
farm and are taking to the tractor
as a duck takes to water.
