Ever since its first appearance
four months ago, when 400,OO0 peO-
pie visited the showrooms Of Hup-
mobile dealers in all parts OF the
country, sales have grown at q re-
marlkable rate and today Hupomo-
bile is first In the eight-in-line class.
Output this month win be the
largest yet reached by the factory.
The cars unusual features have at
tracted to it more attention, the
fact that such a large number vis-
tied its first appearance with q
short period Of thirty hours was
proof from the start that this was
the car which the American public
was waiting for.
Reports from owners, not only
in this city, but throughout the
country continue to pour into the
factory. Its conpactness, insuring
easy parking, its genuine easy in
handling unique smoothness, and
flexibility OF operation and its digni-
fled appearance have created q wide

ritory have already exceeded those
which were contracted for. Arrange
ments have been made to secure
more cars from the factory.

SEMNES MOTOR
EMPLOYEES ON
OUTING
Annual Affair Celebrated by
Day of Outdoor Sports at

One hundred and fifty officials,
employees and friends Of the Semmes
Motor Co. celebrated their seventh
annual gtag-outing Sunday at Nor
gantown. Md. Under the direction
of James Murphy, a large fleet Of
Dodge motor cars made an early
morning start, giving the boys a
complete day of extensive outdoor
sports and winding up with a shore
dinner that completely satisfied ali.
The athletic events were won by
the following: Frank Sullivan. 100
yard dash; Joe Simi and Walter
Herbert, three-legged race: Walter
Herbert, potato race; Walter Her.
bert, sack race; Joe Simi, hoop race;
Joe Cooksey, egg rolling race; the
tug-of-war was won by the shop
team. A lively baseball game be-
with a score of to 0 in favor OF
the sales. Many valuable prizes
were offered which made all the
events spirited.
Those in charge of the outing:
w. NJ. DeNeane, James Murphy,
William Duke, e. B. Semmes, VIII
liam Carr, Eugene Ochsenreiter and
Frank Coleman. Raphael Semmes,
president Of the Semmes Motor Co.,
made a brief address to the EN-"
ployes in which he stated that he
was more than pleased with the at
tendance which has increased rapid

hoped that this pleasant get-to-

many years to come.

such q way as to subdue the glare
from wild lights in night driving.
The principle in this, as In similar
devices, is to cut off the upper
rays that seem to do the most mis-.
chief. This suggests . workable
plan for the average driver. Sit
up In the seat and let the sun
visor cut down the glare.
Next to dust as glare magnifier
comes rain. Most drivers have no
ticed that drops OF rain on the wind
shield will make even the most ac-
curately adjusted headlight diff
cult to meet at night, but how many
realize what. part speed plays in
minimizing this annoyance?
Speed Reduces Glare.
It has been found by actual ex-
pertinent that the faster a car trav-
els in the rain the less glaro IL
magnified by the water on the wind
shield. AS the car increases in
speed. the rain drops flatten out
until there is simply a thin film or
water on the glass. The thinner
this film Is, and the more uniform,
the less refraction there will be OF
the light rays. This is, OF course,
theoretical, AMI no wise driver is
going to risk going, sixty miles an
hour Just to stop a little extra glare
But it suggests the advisibility OF
perhaps driving a little faster when
conditions permit.
In other words. It may be more
dangerous to drive ten miles an

WEST CHESTER, May 27.-The
Parkesburg National Bank. which
was closed October 4, 1924, after it
had been looted, opened its doors
for the payment of SC per cent to

She had $4,000 on hand, all in
checks sent from Washington by
the comptrOlIer's office. These
ranged in amounts from ten cents
to 10000.

windows when they were opened for

Everyone knows that when pass
ing another car on a. dark road
at night there is an instant when
the immediate road ahead appears
to vanish. In this interval OF
cropping, conditions may be altered
by the sudden appearance Of a re-
destrian or another vehicle that
was not in the path Of the lights
an instant before. The slower cars
go, therefore, the longer this m
terval becomes, and the more OPP
portunity there is for conditions
to change while the drivers are
passing.
Another point to consider in the
matter of glare. Car owners often
forget that glare also may be due
to the headlights OF a car follow.

Not . Headlight Matter.
Headlight glare is not always a
matter Of headlights and. In this
connection, experienced night driv'
ers are discovering that other fac.
tors enter into the phenomenon OF
glare. They are beginning to real
ize that the particles OF dust on the
windshield Of their own car act as
tiny lenses, refracting rays or light
in dozens of directions.
A clean windshield is the worlds

weather the inside of the windsh ED
