5-Passenger Lincoln Estab.
fishes Record From Pitts I
burgh to Harrisburg.

Decisively bettering the time OF
two of the most famous trains in
America, Robert p. McCurdy, of
Pittsburgh, drove q Lincoln Ave-
passenger car from Pittsburgh to
Harrisburg in hours, So minutes.
His route. passing through the
backbone of the Pennsylvania Allie
ghenies, is for many miles an al
most continuous succession OF
grades and curves. conditions call
ing for certainty Of control to avert
disaster.
McCurdy is Lincoln distributor at
Pittsburgh. and his record was made
as a demonstration trip. With him
were three passengers-a leading
attorney, a banker and the presi-
dent of a life insurance company
The car was standard in every re-
spect and carried luggage for four
persons. Windshield and top were
up all the way and the run was
made without special preparation
Of any kind.
Under these conditions, the Lin
coin excelled the time of the Penn
sylvania Limited by 81 minutes. and
the schedule OF the still faster
Broadway Limited by 4S minutes
There is no train faster than the
Broadway Limited between New
York and Chicago.
In surprising the schedule OF two
fiers whose very names are syno.
nyms for speed, McCurdy attained a
maximum pace of seventy-six miles
an hour.

GUARANTEE PRICE
ON HAYNES CARS
Builders Say Any Reduction
Would Require Cut in
Quality.

William Lininger.general manager
of District Haynes Corporation, an
nounces the receipt of advice from
the Haynes Automobile Company.
Kokomo. Ind, that present prices
are guaranteed against decrease
throughout the remainder of 1921.
Last October the Haynes factory
issued a statement in which prices
were guaranteed against decrease
before July l, 1921, and although
this period has not yet expired. it
has become evident that any reduc-
tion in price will necessarily involve
concessions to the present standard
of Haynes quality.
Built in Own Factory.
The Haynes has always been
notable as a car that is priced very
closely" said Mr.. Lininger, even
in that period when production was
mere fraction of the demand, and
some fictitious automobile values
were created. BY building their car
approximately 80 per cent complete
in their own factory, the Haynes
has been less subject to the effect
of fluctuations in the parts market,
and has accordingly maintained a
steady maximum level of value for
the purchasers money.
Production Gains One Third.
That this Haynes principle has
been recognized by automobile buy
ers Is made manifest in the un-
precedented demand for Haynes
cars at this time, when buy
ers are comparing values more
carefully than ever before. It is a
remarkable fact that the present
rate of Haynes sales has forced the
factory to increase production more
than a third beyond the highest
previous record. This demand can
be analyzed only as gratifying
tribute to Haynes principles and
the for-dollar value that
Haynes cars represent"

Three cars--the first put out by

mobilists In Detroit, Buffalo, Erie
and other cities along their line

views of F. G. Kellaway, NJ. p, on
certain questions of importance to
the motoring community.
Mr.. Kellaway was of the opinion
that flat rate duty on motor spirit
is the most equitable and practical
method of obtaining the greater
proportion of contribution from
motor traffic towards road expenses,
and indicated that il administra-
lively possible he would be pre-
pared to support legislation for re-
instatement of taxation on motor

told that two cells of my battery
are all right, yet it does not function
properly.
A. II one cell is completely dry
it may cause an open circuit and
the whole battery will fail. This

Q. How can I clean the top on
my car? have been told that gaso-
line is bad to use.
A. The top should be cleaned
with soap suds and water. Rud the
suds in well all over the top and
wash with clear water. Use good

and similar liquids ruin the layer
of rubber in the top.
