OVERLAND NEARS
WORLDS RECORD
Only 719 Miles Short at Ten
O'clock Last Evening, at
End of Fifth Day

At the close of the fifth day of run
ming the Overland model 90 in the
worlds record nonstop sealed in
high gear had covered 1851 miles,
439 miles ahead of the Oklahoma cars
record of 3.093 miles for five days
The car is running in fine shape and
according to all indications is capable
of going along at the same clip for
some time to come.
At 10 o'clock last evening it was
within 719 miles of the worlds rec
ord of 1870 miles. The first day OF
the run 790 miles were made with
out pushing the car in the least. The
drivers have been cautioned not TO
make too much mileage and to hold
the car in, but it is thought that by
o'clock this evening the worlds
record will be in the possession of
record will be in possession of Har-
risburg car and in the short time OF
only six days and six nights. This is
a remarkable record considering the
fact that the car lost four hours at
the time of the accident in Worm
leysburg. That it will exceed the
worlds record mark by between six
and seven hundred miles in seven
days and nights if it continues it's
present pace is a settled fact.
One fact worthy of mention in the
run being conducted here is that the
car on every day so far. has exceeded
the \. A. A. 24-hour sealed in high
gear record by many miles. This
record was made in the city of Chi
cago some time ago. the mileage be-
ing 5S7 miles. The lowest mileage
made by the Harrisburg car was 625
miles, and that was Monday. The
average was made the first
day, it being 100 miles. The highest
mark made in day by the Oklaho-
ma car was Gel miles and the low
est was 5S1 miles.
Harrisburg can well be proud of
the remarkable mileage record be-
ing made by this car and it is one
that will stand for a long time. In
Oklahoma, better road conditions are
to be found and fewer hills, in fact
none like there is in this section. To
them our hills are mountains. The
record that formerly stood was some
where around the 1920 mark and was
made by a car in Los Angeles in 1914.
That the Harrisburg car will push it
oyer the 5000 mile mark is setting a
pace that viii be hard to equal any

Many women oppose the change be-

Many men oppose their admission on
the ground that the membership of

MEMORIAL TO GRADUATES.
University of Toronto Plans Honor
for Soldier Dead.

The war memorial committee of the
University OF Toronto Alumni Associa-
ton has begun an intensive canvass OF
all graduates and former students to
secure a fund OF 100000 with which TO
perpetuate the memory OF those grad
yates and students of the university who
made the supreme sacrifice in the great
war. Campaign committees have been
organized In Toronto and in every county
OF the Province of Ontario. in the larger
cities of the Provinces Of the Dominion.
In strategic centres Of the United States,
and in London for the British Isles.
The committee in charge of the war
memorial movement was elected at a
general meeting Of the alumni in To-
ronto. Before any decision was made re-
garding the nature OF the memorial
opinion throughout Canada was can
vassed In various ways. The outcome
was the plan to have scholarships. ell
igible only for returned soldier students
or their dependents, a memorial tower
and gateway connecting east wing with
Hart House, and a war, lectureship. The
alumni of any community or section may
establish a scholarship with a loca
name and set forth the purposes thereof
The names Of all men and women who
died in the service will be inscribed or
tablets ana the names of all who were
in service will be recorded In an appro
PIRATE manner.
Although the direct purpose of thu
campaign is TO raise a memorial fund
its constructive value Is to rally al
graduates and students TO future ser
vice for their alma mater. The execu
tives of the alumni association are plan
ming to this end. Loyalty TO the uni
versity will be tested in this world wild
effort to reach every graduate and for
mer student on behalf or so sacred {
cause.

NOT ALL PROFIT
FOR TWO CONCERNS
National Steel Car and Con-
sumers Gas Suffered
Through the War.

Special Correspondence to the CdnGdidn
Section Of THE Sun
TORONTO. Nov. 3.-While the cry of
"Profiteerv is heard from so many lips
II may be interesting to point to the case
OF two Canadian companies making
financial statements last week. which
suffered from war conditions. One or
these Is the National Steel Car Company.
Limited. with plant at Hamilton, Ont.
which is now being recognized, and. IL
approved by shareholders sold TO Ameri-
can interests. The purchasers are Dom
aid Symington OF Baltimore. Nd. and
Robert ]. Mayor of New York, who was
already a director OF the old company.
The National Car Company did q
large business during the war, but its
big contract with the French Govern
ment for cars for the Paris, Lyons and
Mediterranean Railway brought disaster.
The statement of present conditions
issued by President Sir John Gibson last
week shows accounts payable S3,4S7,740 ;
accounts receivable. sl,SS4.556, or a
nominal deficiency OF s1.60S.1S4. To set
off against this the company expects
inal payments of $4,000 from the
French Government in connection with
the contract mentioned, as well as its
real estate, plant and machinery APP
praised at $4,000 900. Under the pro-
posed sale the purchasers will form a
new company with 100000 shares, OF
which 10000 will be given to the share
holders of the old company. together
with half OF the amount received in final
settlement from France.

Toronto, which has fixed dividend OF

CARTIER BRONZE DELAYED.
Unwilling of Monument in Quebec
Is Postponed.

Further postponement of the unveil-
ing of the Cartier bronze intended for
the monument at Quebec has been nee
essitated by delays in shipping the
bronze from Belgium. II Is now stated
that the bronze wiz be shipped from
Belgium to Halifax on December 10
next, whence 1T will be sent by rail to
Quebec. This means that the unwilling
ceremonies at Quebec, which had been
fixed for October 4 last but which were
prevented by the impossibilty of ship
ping the bronze. will take place some
time In January next. the exact date
to be selected by the Quebec Cartier
Centenary Committee. 1t is taken for
grsnted that the unwilling will take
place during the session of the Legis-
lature. probably in connection with
either the opening or closing of the
session.
This will be the last of the Cartier
Centenary celebrations, after many I'M
avoidable delays due to the Invasion Of
Belgium, where all the bronze statues
and busts for the three memorials were
cast. The original celebrations had been
planned for 1914, the centenary of Car
tiers birth. The work was well under
way that year. when the sudden out
break of wsr necessitated a postpone
ment, several of the statues being buried
to avoid the possibility OF their being
seized by the Germans and melted for
ammunition.
Owing TO this "Act OF the Kings En-
emies," the centenary ceremonies had
to be postponed until peace released
the buried statues and permitted the fin-
fishing OF the bronze for the Quebec
memorial. The ceremonies in Mont.
real and at Carriers birthplace tool
place this summer. but that planned fol

TO LEASE
CANADIAN ROADS
Powerful Group Said to Expect
Opportunity in Three or

Speoiat Correspondence to the Canadian

Speoiat Correspondence to the CaHddsdn
Section Of THE SUN.
MONTREAL, Nov. 3.-That a strong
financial and railroading group with
in Toronto is planning
TO lease the entire system of
Canadian Government railways, after
three or four years OF Government opera
ton and Government paid deficits on the
Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacihc,
is the firm belief OF the great majority
of Montreal business men who are oppos-
ing the Grand Trunk deal, and has been
virtually admitted by Ministers Of the
Dominion Government.
The idea Is to let the country run the
roads until the electors are convinced,
first, OF the impossibility of making ends
meet with the present inadequate rate
schedules, and, second. of the ineradi-
cable inefficlency Of Government opera
ton. The Railway Commission. it is
presumed will find itself compelled to
advance rates in order to save the Gov
eminent from overwhelming losses I'M
less there is a heavy drop In operating
costs, In which case the raise may not
be necessary.
When the roads are leased II would be
on some sort of agreement guaranteeing
fixed return on the capital investment
and a sliding scale of profits for efficient
operation; and the leasing company
would be given the right to demand an
increase of rates II 1t could show that
operating costs were too high for a profit,
much after the plan now In operation II
connection with the Montreal Tramways.
The scheme means that the country
will carry the burden through the four
or Ave worst years. for by the end OF
that time II is confidently expected that
population and traffic in the territory
covered by the q, and +. and c. N. r.
