Effect Of SUFFERING.

Suffering either hardens the heart
or opens 1t to the light of Gods face
The tragedy of life is not that we have
so much to suffer, but that we so often
miss the benediction, the enlargement,
and enrichment, which 1t is meant to
bring.-Prof. David Smith.

NEW FUEL TESTED BY THE
GOVERNMENT PROVES
SATISFACTORY

A substitute for gasoline said TO
be satisfactory in every respect. to
cost less, to be available in ample
quantities and to give more power
than gasoline has recently under
gone a series of tests by the gov
ernment at Washington.
The results of these tests by Cap
tain e. c. Weisgerber have pl oven
highly satisfactory and a deal is
now under way to commercialize
this product.
Some of the high points in the
test and the ones that will interest
automobile owners most, are the
fact that used on q passenger car
the fuel drove it 17h miles on a
gallon, against nine miles per gallon
of gasoline, an increased the speed
of the auto from AZ miles per hour
to SO miles per hour
A Garford 3-ton truck, weigh
ing 1873 pounds with its load, av-
eraged 1O.4 miles per gallon with
Liberty Fuel Gas this new substi-
tute is called, used two gallons of
water in the radiator, and consumed
"a quarts of lubricating oil, or
iV"'A ihiiSo pei quart. Inc journey
was made at a speed of from nine
to II miles per hour, some of it
through rain. With gasoline in the
same truck it averaged 6.S7 miles
per gallon, used 81h gallons of
water in the radiator, and Az
quarts of lubricating oil, and aver
age of 6S.5 miles per quart.
1t is claimed that this substitute is
scentless. tasteless, and that it's prod
ucts of combustion are cooler than
gasoline. 1t is reported to be non
corrosive. 1t does not give out SCOT
or carbon, according to reports. and
starts easier than gasoline,
No special apparatus is needed tn

WILLIAMS MOTOR co. PLACES
NEW EQUIPMENT IN SHOP

The Williams Motor Co., authoriz-
ed agents in Harrisburg for the Ford
Motor Co., with salesrooms at 231
North Second street, and Service
Station at 1S0S-12 Logan street,
have recently remodeled their serv-
ice station and placed new equip
ment there in order to give the full
service advertised by the Ford Motor
Co. This new equipment is in the
form of modern and up-to-date ma
cninery for the complete repairing
of Ford cars.
Ford repairing has been brought
down to a real system by the Ford
Motor Co., and the various agents
all over the country are being urg-
ed to adopt the methods approved
by them so that universal service
can be obtained by Ford owners no
matter whether they are in New
York or in San Francisco.
One of the features added by the
Williams Motor Co. is a large stock
room for parts at both their service
station and at the salesrooms, so
that owners can be supplied with
whatever parts they desire at either
place. This will be big saving in
time and distance to the Ford own
er. a complete stock of parts will
be carried at both places.
And still the stealing of automo-
biles keeps up and more of it. Who's
doing all this stealing anyhow? Is
it a gang of boys, as the police were
10th to think a short time ago, or is
it some one else? 1t certainly is a
sorry state of affairs, no matter
who's doing it, and is beginning to
get on the nerves of auto owners.
It seems that. the one safe way left
to be sure your auto is where you
leave it when you come back is to
get big healthy logchain and a

in the city yesterday to take up the
question of delivery of large num-
Der of the neY Anniversary Model
with the Keystone Sales Co., the To-
cal representatives.
Mr.. Taylor's headquarters are To-
Gated in Philadelphia. He motored
here from York, coming by the way
of Marietta. In speaking of the
roads of Central Pennsylvania he
did not seem to be very enthusiastic.
He says that the recent bond issue
will be blessing for the community
as the roads are badly in need of
repair.
He was very enthusiastic about
the. coming season for Apperson Mo-
tor Cars. The. new Anniversary
Model has been creating much ia
Vorable comment and the outlook
for large number of sales is very
bright. The Keystone Sales Co.. un-
der the direction of E. l.. Cowden,
q. @. Giliing and W. p. Grove, is
planning for very strenuous cam
paign on this model, and will en-
deavor to make it the popular car

REPUBLIC TRUCK COMPANY

l. w. Dill, the local Republic
dealer. is in receipt of letter from
President Ruggles of the Republic
Motor Truck Co., Inc, of Alma,
Mich, to the effect that the recent
Republic Gold Note Issue had been
oversubscribed many times. The
issue was to secure $3,0O0,OO0 more
working capital and that applica-
tions for over $14,000,0O0 had been
received.
This is strong evidence that the
motor truck business and especially
the Republic Motor Truck Co., was
sure to be a conner" Investors
are eager to subscribe to this loan
because of its substantiability.
The Republic Co. is now working
on peace time basis and will soon
be putting as many trucks on the
| market as before the war.

MOTOR WORLDS EDITOR
GIVES INTERESTING ADVICE
TO DEALERS

Ray w. Sherman, the well-known
editor of the Motor World, writes
an interesting little, story on how
to manage an auto show and the
course of this letter gives some in
teresting information on the .plac-
ing of cars in an exhibit. Mr.. Sher-
man sees the auto show from both
sides and is very capable of CIV
ing this advice.
Speaking of crowding he says,
"All this crowding of exhibits costs
the exhibitor real money. He gets
an idea he is losing money if he
doesn't use every possible inch of
space for planting cars, while as
matter of fact he is losing money
by jamming his space SO full
The dealers object in going into
show--even IL he doesn't know it
is to get the eye of the public and
make sales and the beginning of
sales. His sole object is to adver-
tise and get prospects. But how is
he going to get the eye of the pub
lie and create a favorable want
to-have-it opinion if he shuts off
the view of the public and makes
it impossible for people to get into
his space?
How can a salesman do anything
az Oil IL AC Has W CllIIlD over rum
ning-bCdrds and duck around un-
der tops and lead his prospects
through a mystic maze, making it
as hard as possible for the pros
pect to see the thing he is most in
terested in? Cars can't be sold I'm
that way OF course a few can be
sold, but so can a few of anything
be sold without any effort.
Here's hoping the Harrisburg
motor dealers have an artistic show,
a real show this year. They have
the space and the inclination. Now
to put it into effect.
A good suggestion for traffic reg
ulation has come to us from
farmer in the upper end of the
county. He says: why not stop
all vehicular traffic at a street in
tersection and let all pedestrians
pass. Then stop all pedestrian traf-
tic and let all vehicular traffic pass?
In this way the two won't get all
mixed up and hurt each other. You.
never can tell which way a car is
going to turn or whether it is GO
ing straight ahead. Let's play
safety first and let one go through
while the other waits" Good adj
vice, we say. Other cities do, why
not US?

MOTOR CLUB GIVES OUT
TOURING INFORMATION

Touring information on routes to
any part of the United States or
Canada can be had on application
to the Motor Club of Harrisburg. In
a recent bulletin issued by the club
route through Virginia that had
recently undergone a course of re-
construction was listed. This infor-
nation tells the conditions of the
roads, whether toll must be paid,
and many other interesting bits of
information. These bulletin are
issued quite frequently, keeping the
members informed as to the chang
ing conditions of all nearby roads.
1t seems that Pennsylvania is one
jump ahead of a large number of
other states on the matter of good
roads. Recently Virginia has begun
talking of u loan of $25,000,000 for
good roads, as well as many of the
western states. Keep the good
work up and by 1925 the highways
of the entire country will be 'one
bed of roses" for the touring public.

of the car they have. If regular
driver of the car, he should have
the owners card to show. Being
unable to display this card on re-
quest, it would be considered that
the car was a stolen one. This sug-
gestion is in the way of eliminating
theft.

from five to twenty sales. and the
outlook is .the brightest of any sea-
