THE PHILIP RED CROSS SALE

ThE PHILLIP kED CkOSS SALE
NJ. Harry O'Brien returned Mon
day morning from Philip where last
Saturday he attended a Red Cross
sale held by the Philip branch OF the
HaakOn county chapter In speaking
of the sale Mr.. O'Brien said: 1T was

Of the sale alone totaled $6O0O2.0O
which with the contributions from
side efforts made the total contribu-
tions on that day by the people OF
Philip and the immediate vicinity
over $1,000. During the progress OF
the sale the band struck up string
of patriotic airs and Chet Leedom, In

the edge OF the platform, with his cap
crushed in his hand, and tears in hts
voice, and big heart full Of Ameri-

ed. The net result was the enriching
Of the Red Cross over $500 from the
sale of the band. Hats were waving,
men, women and children were sing
ing, and tears were trickling from the
eyes of the more emotional, and Lee

channel-shaped side members. To
give these the necessary strength
they had to be of fairly heavy con-
struction. This extra weight was felt
to be unnecessary by the Peerless
engineers and they have been sue
cessful in greatly reducing the weight
of the frame side members by using
a principle familiar to bridge de-
sign, the truss.
This construction permits far
greater strength with greatly reduc-
ed weight for the truss-rods
furnish exceptionally strong brac-
ing throughout. The frame of the
motor car when in action is subject
ed to about the same strain rs q
bridge as it is virtually a bridge be-
tween the front and back wheels. 1t
must carry all of the weight of the
body and passengers and at the same
time be both rigid and flexible to
uneven road action. The constant
play on the frames of usual design
is very likely to cause crystallization
of the steel which is not true in the
truss design. There is no new prin-
ciple involved in this type of bracing
as it has been used for a great num-
ber of years in bridge building. Its
application. however, to the frame of
the automobile was first adopted by
the Peerless Motor Car Company to
accomplish greater strength with
considerably lessened weight.

NEW AUTO SUPPLY
HOUSE IS OPENED !
nj. Brenner and Sons Motor
Company Opens New Store
at Third and Hamilton

During the past week, a new au-
tomobile accessory store was opened
in the west end, Third and Hamilton
streets, by the firm of nj. Brenner
and Sons Motor Company.
Thls hrm purchased the old Har-
risburg Auto Company's garage and
the store rooms that faces Third
street Just above Hamilton street and
have changed them into a modern,
up-to-date garage and accessory
store. The storerooms and office
were opened last Tuesday for busi-
ness and the garage, now in the
course OF construction, will be open
ed in "a few weeks.
This firm is the local distributor
for the Kissel Kar, both touring cars
and trucks. They have had tempoo-
rary offices at 63S Herr street, but
have now changed to their new CT
flee at the above address. They have
several of the cars on hand for DEM
onstrations and Ephraim Brenner,
the general manager, announces that
they will soon be in a position to
make deliveries on order. With the
be ready to give immediate attention
to all service calls for the Kissel
kar.
In the opening of the accessory
store, this new firm realized the de-
mand for such an establishment in
the West End. and have exerted
their best Efforts to make the stock
and supplies the most complete in
the city. Practically anything in the
automobile supply line can be pur-
chased at this store. Owing to traf-
fic conditions some of the stock has
not yet been received but the next
few days will see as complete a stock
as can be carried.
c. c. High, a local man we'll
known to the automobile trade, and
who has had several years expert
ence with local firms. has charge of
the accessory branch. All business
pertaining to this new firm will be
executed at the offices at Third and
Hamilton streets.

Graphite in Lubricant
Helps Eliminate Friction

Absolutely perfect fabrication is
an impossibility," says an eminent
authority on fabrication. IF it
were not, your car would have per-
Petual motion and it would run on
till doomsday, once it got started"
Hence, so long as you cannot
eliminate friction altogether, it be-
hooves the motorist to use the lub-
ricauon that will reduce it to a
minimum. The manufacturers of
Dixon's Graphite Motor Lubricants
claim almost perfect fabrication for
their products. They are made of
specially selected greases as the
grease is used merely as a medium
to carry the graphite. 1t is the
graphite that does the business, as
the grease is used merely as a med
ium to carry the graphite. The
Dixon Company mines its own
graphite at Ticonderoga, New York,
end refines it for use as a lubri-
cant.
Graphite forms a permanent
film between the bearing surface.
hlling up the minute hollows and
smoothing over the uneven places.
1t does not pack or lump, is perma-
nent, and does not squeeze out.
This is the sort of lubricant that
reduces friction to a minimum"

Agency For Harrisburg
and Vicinity

J. S. Sible, Jr., takes over agency
for Harrisburg and vicinity.
The stephens Salient Six, a pro-
duct of ono of the largest manufac-
turing firms in the country. the Mo-
line Plow Company, is now being
distributed in Harrisburg by ]. S.
Sible, Jr., with offices and sales
rooms at Third and Cumberland
streets.
The stephens is a six cylinder
overhead valve motor, rather light.
but sturdy built, with all kinds of
power and speed. 1t is the result
of years of manufacturing expert
ence and is backed by company
that has a reputation for business
integrity covering fifty-two years. 1t
gets it's name from the president of
the Moline Plow Co.
In the touring car. the beautiful
streamI,ne effect of the body makes

and with the power and speed to-

Mr.. Sible announces that he is in a
position to make immediate deliver
les, having a few of the cars already
on hand.

Gear Ratio Important
to Good Performance

Among more or less technical
motor car terms. the rear axle gear
ratio is probably as puzzling and
meaningless as any other to the av-
erage car owner or layman. 1t ap-
plies to the number of teeth in the
rear axle gears which transmit the
engines power to the driving wheels.
In other words, it governs the rela-
tive speed of the engine and the
rear wheels, as that relation per-
tains to maximum and minimum car
speed, getaway and pulling ability.
The Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany recently advised its dealers
that one of the specifications which
should receive special attention in
car orders is the gear ratio, point
ing out that the character of the
country in which the car will be
driven, or the work to be done,
should guide the selection of the
gear ratio.
A gear ratio of ofur-and- half
to-one, for example, means that the
engine crankshaft makes four and
Il half revolutions while the rear
wheels make one revolution. 1t is
not difficult to understand that
car so equipped will have a faster
getaway and be more powerful in
SeAiu anu Ol llllASt III nl5n gear
than a car with three-and- half
to-one ratio. The latter car would
have a greater maximum speed than
the former because when the engine
is at maximum speed the rear
wheels would be making a greater
number of revolutions per minute.
On the other hand, it would be nee
essary to shift to lower transmits
sion gear earlier, with such a car,
than with a ur-and-a-half-to-one
ratio. This is because the gasoline
engine depends on its speed for it's
power-it generates greater power
at the higher speeds.
The importance of quick getaway
in a car used a great deal in city
traffic, or pulling ability on high
gear in rough and hilly country, al
most dictates a lower gear ratio.
The owner who drives mostly in
level country, or who prefers occa-
cional gear-shifting to any sacrifice
of speed, probably would choose the
higher ratio. The safest course. for
the average owner looking for good
all-around performance rather than
mere speed. would be the lower
ratio.

MAKING MACHINES
LIGHT.IN WEIGHT
Peerless Cars Built Like a
Bridge For Lightness,
Strength, Etc.

Now that the motor car has been
made thoroughly practical for every
business use, automotive engineers
are concerned in making many re-
fnements in design and construction.
The Peerless car is particularly note
worthy in this respect. Their en-
gineers have worked tirelessly to get
the proper weight distribution and
balance of materials with greater
strength and lightness. They have
borrowed from all engineering prin-
ciples to accomplish their purpose.
A notable feature in the construc-
ton of the chassis is its bridge de-
sign. Feeling that the same prin-
ciples apply. those of great strength
and fiexibility they are using the
same bracing. Formerly the frame
depended for its rigidity upon deep

Second Tire Store Opens

A new second hand tire and fac
