Franklin Makes Winter Record.

Announcement was made last night at
the Hotel Commodore that Franklin
touring car had arrived in Boston after
completing a e72 mile drive across the
rutty frozen roads Of Maine In "a hours
and 46 minutes. The event Is considered
a record in pleasure car endurance records,
and especially remarkable in view of pre-
sent road and weather conditions in
Maine. The route covered was from Bos-
ton to Fort Kent. on the international
border. and return. r. Z. Frost of Port
land, Maine, was ono of the drivers who
relayed the car on this rough trip. An
average running speed of 1924 miles per
hour was maintained, and the same stock
car which Mr.. Frost drove to the peak of
Mt. Washington in low gear without a
stop, was used on the recent run. The run
against time excited so much comment
among New England motorists who are
in New York attending the show this
week, that competitive runs against this
time record probably will be made.

New Lens Solves
the Glare Menace

The Patterson-Lenz, latest achieve
ment of the Warner Patterson Company,
was announced yesterday and is declared
TO be almost revolutionary in optical
engineering, offering a solution of the
automobile headlamp glare problem.
The new lens will not interfere in any
way with the present well known and
highly efficient Warner-Lenz The War
ner-Lenz, made by the Warner-Patterson
Company, is standard equipment on thirty
leading makes OF cars. Already 1'5ooWo
Of the Warnef-Lenz have been sold.
While the Warner-Lenz is pronounced
as perfection in the projection OF "dif-
fused light to eliminate headlamp glare,
the new Patterson-Lenz is pronounced by
its manufacturers. after series OF ex-
haustive road and laboratory tests, as
perfection in the projection of "defiecteo
illumination for automobiles.
The new Patterson-Lenz is made up oil

ted by caves which stand as an additional

complies with every State anti-glare law
the caves and cylindrical segments mold
ing the light down to height OF torty-
two inches, the legal requirement IN fnost
States anti-glare laws.
| The ordinary lens spreads the projected
beams so that glare is not eliminated
but the amount of light is reduced TO tnt
danger point at any great distance ahead
of the car. The new Patterson-Lenz, its
makers say, projects the light to give
5000 candle power at a height OF AZ inches
above the roadbed at 200 feet, and lighting
not only the centre but both sides of the
road with light sufficient for the driver
Of the car equipped with the lenses. but
eliminating glare dangers to approaching
cars and pedestrians. This new Tens
illuminates the roadbed for from 400 tc
500 feet ahead Of the car
Some Of the prismatic lenses throw
shadows on the road ahead which are
exceedingly confusing. TO say the least
Shadows are eliminated in the new Pat
Iterson-Lenz.
! The weight Of the new Pattersou-Lenz
| is at the bottom. In some lenses the
greatest weight is at the top, with the
result that the Jolting and humping over
rough roads causes a very considerable
shifting of the lens with consequent
distortion of the light area.
The Patterson-Lenz carrying The weigh
at the bottom, is literally locked in it:

built in value can be determined only by
the actual performance OF car This
method is costly.
The owners of Pierce-Arrow cars have
had the answer in the years OF splendid
performance of their cars. They know
that the experience they have had In the
past will be duplicated in the present i'm
proved Pierce-Arrow dual valve.
The practical demonstration by hum
dreds OF perfectly operating dual valve
cars in the past two years is conclusive
proof that this new design engine is one
of the engineering marvels of the auto
mobile industry.
The faith they have in the factory be-
hind the car and the traditions which the
men in the factory must live UP to insure
them a real return on their purchase.
Traditions are hard task masters--none
more so than those handed down from
year to year in the Pierce-Arrow plant.
They furnish the tangible reason for the
performance of the dual valve six and
give a sense OF security to the buyer.

DEALERS VISIT
i TRUCK SHOW
Many Large Dealers in Commercial
Cars Come from Distant Points
to See Exhibit.

The National Truck Show at the Eighth
Coast Artillery Armory. 1S4th street and
Jerome avenue, took on dealer aspect
yesterday when out of town dealers ar
rived in numbers TO inspect the new
chassis and TO note the progress made in
the truck industry during the past year.
New England was well represented. there
being present men from Boston, Provi-
dence and New Haven as well as other
cities
Those dealers representing we'll known
makes were interested in noting the i'm
provements and refinements made by the
designers and notwithstanding the fact
that few radical changes have been made
from conventional practice. the visi-
tors found many innovations that viii.
they say, prove Of value in exploiting the
truck in the majority of industries.
The factory representatives report good
business and many have cosed open ter
rftory. Several say that the results OBJ
tanned in contracts in new territory ex-
cecded their expectations. There has been
several instances of sales having been
made of exhibits; one exhibitor is display
FMS the sold" sign on several of his
models. A number of exhibitors are optirn-
istic as TO the remaining days OF the show
and express themselves as confident that
the last of the week will bring out buyers
in numbers Dealers are impressed with the
efforts of the truck manufacturer to
evolve a chassis that will meet every re-
quircment OF the farmer and at a price
that will appeal TO his pocketbook. The
majority of the trucks shown for this
hat
arc termed high speed trucks, capable of
maintaining twenty-five miles per hour.
The bodies are designed to carry all
kinds of loads. Many of these are termed
combination bodies and can be uscl for
six or more different purposes, that is,
the sides and end can be removed and
changed to meet any agricultural demand.
These bodies can be used on the farm to
haul hay, grain. potatoes &c, and to
carry farm products to the railroad or to
She city Some manufacturers supply a
cover or tarpauln to protect the load, and
high stakes make it possible to carry live
cattle
These all-purpose bodies, and some trucks
completely equipped by the manufac-
turers, attracted the visitors, particularly
those dealers who are adjacent to the agri-
cultural sections. Practically all of these
farmer trucks have a power tire pump for
initiating the big pneus. 1t is mounted on
the transmission, and moving lever sets
the pump going. The general practice is
TO lead metal pipe or line to nipple
extending through the side of the frame.

Buying a motor car is not quite so simple
a matter as it would seem. Most of us
imagine that the only problem is a flnan-
cial one. With that solved, We have felt
that the days of the millennium had ar
rived. Such. apparently, is not the case.
The obstacles in the path OF the buyer
are so numerous that even the experienced
owner finds that he must rely entirely
on the reputation of the maker for those
qualities in a passenger car which spell
safety and service. He must accept on
faith those things which he cannot see.
The discriminating purchaser is careful
judge of appearance. design, paint, up
holstery and appointments All of these,
however they may enhance the value of
car, are secondary to that built in value
which comes from a well balanced design,
careful and scientific selection of material

a feature of the Maxwell ton and a half

extra mechanical parts. with the possibl-
ity for repair, and performs the same
operation.
The restricted manifold regulates the
speed of the truck to about twenty-five
miles an hour. This prohibits an ignorant
driver from racing the motor, and keeps
the speed within the limits set by the
States requiring mechanical governors: 1t

avoid the possibility of damage to the
threads OF the connection, there is a wing

Another feature of the trucks designed
for agricultural purposes is the cab which

distances to the markets in all kinds of

PROSPECTSFOR
DEADLOCK AT
CHICAGO GROW
Mccormick And Bever-
idge Favored For Per-
manent Chairman.

CHICAGO, June 7-(By Associa-
ted Press) imminence of the
Republican National Convention
which begins its sessions tomorrow,
apparently worked today to further
becloud instead Of clarity the question
as to who will be the presidential
nominee. The prospects for a dead
lock seemed becoming better hourly.
At least some, possibly all of the
137 contests decided by the National
Committee will be brought before the
credentials committee for. rehearing
and few may be decided finally on
the convention floor itself.
Senator Mccormick, of Illinois, and
former Senator Beveridge, of Indi-
ana, are most prominently mention
ed for the permanent Guardianship.
The Wood forces will throw at least
some of their strength to Beveridge,
it is said. Senator Johnson is for SEN
ator Borah if the latters desires the
place.
The scramble for convention tickets
began today with the distribution
through the National Committee and
the local arrangements committee.
No changes appeared today in the
convention lineup and none were ex-
pected.

De Valera, the president of our

President Wilson paid to Europe.
De Valera says he wishes they
could raise as much money for pres
idential candidates in Ireland as they
do here.
Women delegates have been ask
ed to remove their spring hats in

has been practically spoiled.
Wood started in with two or three
hundred delegates, but by the time
the convention starts he will be lucky
if they do not take his army COM

If Penrose has dark horse and he
is from Pennsylvania he must be

California's fifteen delegates start

panied by sixty boot-leggers.
AS these delegates were elected by
the people the chances are they will
be unseated before they reach Den

lot of delegates down to half a vote
Guess they will let the half -a-vote

AS far as qualifications go 1 think
Knox has the most suitable name for

knock Wood.

the ones securing the largest number
of boil weevils during the week of the
contest. In addition l cent for each

ers of the fields visited. Up to noon
today score of entries had been re-

among the whites. Several colored
youngsters also had registered with
E. E. Stallworth, the colored farm
agent. Additional farmers also listed
their fields. One of these was John

200 acres badly infested which he
wished to have picked over as early
as possible.
The white weevil pickers will leave
