Rim O. The World
Hill Climbing Record
Made On Red Crown

When Charles Basle few days age
drove his Peerless Eight over tle ia.
nous Rim o. the World hin climbing
course in record time he was using Red
Crown gasoline. c. s. Stone. in his Es-
sex who was second, also had Red
Crown in his tank.
UnqueStionSbly this course, which
covers eight miles of grade ranging
from fiveto eighteen per cent though
the Waterman canyon near San Ber-
nardino, is one Of the severest tesTs
mortor fuel can have anywhere IN the
country. There is hardly a straight
stretch of road in the whole distance
and the inumerable sharp curves and
twists, combined with the grade, pre-
sent difficulties which can only be ov.
ercome by a car using the best quality
of gasoline.
This Rim o. the World hill climbing
contest is one of the few stock ear
events regularly held in California.
That the two winning ears should both
have used Red Crown is a tribute to
the quality and steady power that 1t
possesses in every day use.
The high quality of Red Grown was
again demonstrated under the heavy
strain of this hill climbing event. As

line It has the fullasd complete chain
Of boiling points necessary for consist

give easy starting, medium boiling

Friends of Captain George r.
Lumb, whose resignation as deputy
superintendent of State Police was
accepted last evening by Governor
Sproul, were pleased to-day to learn
that il is his intention to remain in
Harrisburg. Captain Lumb is
member of the Dauphin county bar
and will devote his attention largely.
to commercial law, in which he al
ready enjoys an extensive practice.
Captain Lumb is one of the best
known residents of the city. He Is
prominent in Masonic circles and
has been director, ,vice-president and
and president of the Harrisburg Ro-
tary Club. He is q speaker of more
than ordinary ability and was active
in all forms of war work. lie Is
a member of the Chamber Of Com
merce.
Captain Lumb, a veteran of the
Spanish-American war; the Philip
pines and of the Boxer campaign In
China, worked his way up from the
ranks in the State Police by sheer
merit, having participated in
number. of daring exploits as an off1-
Ger of the force. He has been dep
uty superintendent for years and
during Colonel Groome,s absence in
the army conducted the department
in a manner that won the praise
of all familiar with his work. He
is a great believer in the merit. sys-
tenn in the State Police force. For
some time it has been known that
he desired to get out of the service.
in order to devote himself to his.
growing law practice.
Captain Leon S. Pitcher, who re-
signs as Captain Lumb's assistant,
to become chief of police of Wilkes
Barre at a salary of $4,000, is also
3. product of the merit system on
the force. He carries a number of
scars he received in fights with
outlaws and is generally considered
an able officer and executive. He is
a member of the Harrisburg Rotary
Club and we'll known here.
''I am more than delighted to re-
ceive the Captains acceptance"
Mayor elect Hart told a Wilkes
Barre Record reporter yesterday.
Captain Pitcher doesn't need to
worry about meeting with political
interference. He is to have absolute
charge of the department. He is
to be boss and he is going TO be a
good one. Any one familiar with
the State Police knows that Captain
Pitcher measures up to the require
ments of the position" Captain
Pitcher accepted the office with the
understanding that he would be
free from political interference. His
new office will pay him a thousand
dollars n year more than he re-
ceived in the State service.
