ADVANTAGES
In AUTOMOBILE
Auto Educational Value Is
Enhanced by Economy,
Says Hansen

Every year the public becomes
more and more appreciative of the
educational advantages of the auto
mobile and this year the cars ad-
vantages in that respect are more
alluring than ever principally
from an economical standpoint"
said Carl Hanson, of the Overland
Harrisburg Co., to a group of
friends at the show Saturday night.
They We're discussing the far-reach-
ing effect generally brought about
by the purchase of motor vehicle.
with wars financial demands
making necessary a nationwide
practice of wise but not miserly
economy any degree of conserva-
ton in travel expense will be highly
commendable," he continued.
Before automobiles came into
vogue, the family that travelled for
educational as we'll as recreational
reasons was more or less at the
mercy of expensive hotels and costly
transportation. While the mileage
fare on trains was not excessive, as
a rule, the incidental expenses re-
quired a considerable outlay of
funds; in fact, the family in mod
crate circumstances did little, If
any. travelling.
To-day, the motor car has made
possible long trips into the coun-
try's most historical and scenic dis
tricts.. The loweSt-priced hotel ac-
commodations are available for the
touring motorist, inasmuch as he is
not compelled to stop just where the
train drops him off. A distance of
twenty-five or thirty miles is but a
few minutes ride and he can select
his own stopping place to suit his
convenience and pocketbook.
Furthermore, some of the most
interesting places in the country are
situated miles from railroad centers.
To reach them. without your own
car, requires expensive livery rental
and oftentimes uncomfortable trav-
cling. One can avoid all of that If
he drives his own machine.
THE educational advantages of
autom obile travel can hardly be eX-
aggerated. Think of the young boys
and girls, in families where cars are
owned, who can talk more intelli-
gently about places of historical in
terest than the average adult who
has spent his life there. They
gained their knowledge through the
medium of the automobile, more
than through text books. They were
brought in direct contact with these
places while touring with their par
ents and the mental impressions
they received were firm and lasting
1.-THE same holds true in the case
of parents. A pretty home, a novel
piece of architecture, a garden out
of the ordinary, any one of a thou
sand things, are available in an
educational way for the motorist.
And the feature of it all is that
the motor car owner can enjoy those
advantages at a minimum of ex-
pense."

Practically every public safety

and mayors of Pennsylvania muni-

police forces of their communities

Cadillac Device Saves
Alcohol in Radiator

Prices of glycerine having scared
to almost impossible heights "on ac-
count of the war" many motorists
have turned to alcohol as the anti
freeze fluid for the radiators of their
cars. Alcohol serves quite we'll in
protecting the radiator and cooling
system from freezing. but it's rapid
evaporation when heated necessitates
frequent renewals throughout the
winter. Now the Cadillac engineers
have found a way to minimize the
effects of evaporation.
In announcing this latest improve
ment to the Cadillac Eight, the COM
pany states that it is covered by
basic patent rights.
The device is strikingly simple in
principle and in application. 1t serves
as trap for the alcohol vapors that
ordinarily escape, condensing them
and returning them in condensed
form to the active part of the cool
ing system. 1t consists of a small
tank and a pipe connecting the bot
tom of the tank with the overflow
pipe of the radiator. When the heat
ed liquid in the radiator Vaporizes-
as always occurs in motorcar opera
tion-both the alcohol and water
vapors are carried through the pipe
to the bottom of the tank, which is
partially filled with the same liquid
as is in the radiator. AS the vapor
bubbles up through this liquid, it is
restored to liquid form and saved.
The top of the radiator is made
alright by a special gasket in the
radiator cap. The cap of the con-
denser tank is provided with an air
vent. When the liquid in the radiator
becomes cooled, a vacuum forms
and the condensed fluid is forced
back into the circulation system.
The condenser also conserves the
water supply in hot weather-an

floats for you as 1t does for me. The
men and the women and the children
whom the Germans sent to their
death when the Lusitania was tor
pedoed were of the same country as
you. They loved that country the
same as you love it. Those men and
those women and those children were
murdered. That's the only word for
it. You are to punish the men who
perpetrated that murder. BY shot
and shell and bayonet point you are
to press onward to Berlin and show
that humanity will not let criminals
hide behind the cloak of kultur. You
are to fight for honor and decency
and right. You are to stand Shout
der to shoulder with your white
brothers-in-arms and make William
Hohenzollern and his Potsdam crew
know that this is q world where
murder by men fed on blood-an-
iron policy must cease and where
kultur that reeks with barbarity
must perish from the earth.
I'VE are not afraid of the way you
will act We know that red blood
courses through your veins; that your
hearts are brave and that they love

SO glorious an opportunity to win

Chalmers Passes
Cold Weather Test

One of the most severe tests that
an automobile can be put to has Just
been administered to a stock Chal-

deal with flying colors. The ma
chine was left standing in front of
the Grand Central Palace, where
the Eighteenth Annual Automobile
Show was being held, for fifteen
hours, during which time the aver
age temperature was twenty-five de-
grees above zero.
w. II. Traband, Jr., one-time sec
retary of the Automobile Association
of Americas Contest Board, sat in
the machine throughout the test and
submitted a report to the judges
which showed that after the auto
mobile had been standing on ice and
snow in sub-freezing temperatures
for fifteen hours the first explosion
occurred five seconds after the start
er was pressed and in forty sec
onds the engine was running per-

The Studebaker Exhibit

not wanting to put any additional
burden upon the railroads, Stude-
