New Slogan of
Overland Car

The title, ''the thrift car" as ap-
piled to the Overland automobile
has been the topic for widespread
discussion since the automobile
shows.
The fact is" said John n. WHY'S,
president of WHY'S Inc.
recently, commenting upon the apt
ness of the term, that time and
money are Just about one and the
same thing" To save time is to
make more money. To waste it is
to lose both money and opportun-
ity.
The automobile is helping to
turn spare moments into money
shorten miles and conserve time
For to be thrifty with time is an
absolute essential to success.
Thrift implies not merely saving
but investing your savings in hours
or dollars, with wisdom. The au-
tomobile has been the greatest aid
we have ever had in capitalizing
time and coming this common pos
session into cash.
Naturally the man who can ac-
complish more in a given time with
the aid of an automobile, reaps the
greatest reward. This is equally true
of the farmer, the salesman, the
doctor, the plumber, the contractor
and people of all trades and spofes-
sions whose number is legion.
Tremendous business activities
heretofore unrecognized in their
scope and magnitude, have come to
depend to an extraordinary degree
upon the passenger car as a means
of needful transportation. All man
ner of construction work, such as
contracting and building, the erec-
ton of public works, extension of
highways, expansion of rail and 9TH
er shipping facilities, and so on,
have come to require a vast number
of automobiles for the convenience
of executives, inspectors, engineers,
estimates, paymaster, and others.
Five chiefs, captain of police, super
intendents, public executives, physi-
clans, clergymen, lawyers and mem
bers of all other professions find
their cars a needful element in their
daily work.
1--WE are forced to the conclusion
that the passenger car is a public
utility of the very first order and
necessity. Therefore, if our great
nation is to continue it's program and
carry the present war to a success
full end, the manufacture of passeng-
er automobiles must continue to such
a degree as will not interfere with
the efficiency of those whose efforts
are vital to our national efficiency"

The Tech High school basketball
teams steamroller crushed the Steel
ton High school team at Chestnut
street Auditorium last evening by a
48 to 23 score. So decisive was the
victory that the Steelton crew was
able to score but one field goal. This
came in the first half, after fourteen
minutes of play and was scored by
Center Morrett. Throughout the sec
ond half the Blue and White play
ers did not register one single field
goal, and had but few shots for the
basket.
It was only George Porr's work
from the 15-foot mark that gave the
visitors any kind of a score. This
had rolled in IA out of 15 fouls in the
first half. In the final period he
made Z out of IA trials. His even
bng's work totaled 21 out of. .29.
Carl Beck's brilliant playing was
the feature of the evening. Pitted
against Captain Coleman, of Steel
ton, the local guard held the Blue
and White field goal. while he him
self netted seven two-pointers. He
broke up many of the visitors
passes.
Captain Huston was again on the
hob and fattened his average by
amassing "a points. He scored four
field goals, all in the first period, and
collected 16 out of 18 fouls. AS
result he will jump closer to first
place in the individual averages.

matical impossibility for the team to
finish anywhere but first at the end

Princeton wins her three remaining
games and Penn loses both that re-

will be locked in q tie.

there is of Yale putting the Univer-
