Performance Is Better- In January, 1916, the first Harroun Motor Car began its circuit of the national automo bile shows. At New York, Detroit, Chicago and all along the line, this car was the center of ex pert interest. ..- Engineers admired its many original details of design. The public was impressed with its handsome, flowing lines and comfortable ap pointments. Distributors the nation over com peted for Harroun sales contracts. . ThatAvas the period of Harroun PROMISE. And now promise has been fulfilled. In place of it we have Harroun PERFORM ANCE. The compact little valve-in-the-head motor in which Ray Harroun had incorporated the results of his native genius and his years of experience as a racing champion and an en" gineer is a conspicuous part of this perform- Three years ago the first Harroun motor amazed motordom by scoring, in carefully ob served .test, a maximum of MORE THAN 43 . HORSE-POWER--a feat new to the annals of engineering in motors of anything like its displacement. That feat was PROMISE. Fulfillment has come with the PERFORMANCE of that mo tor in the service of Harroun owners. On the streets of the cities through the mud and over the rough roads of the rural districts over the top of the Rockies and the Sierras this buoyant excess of Harroun pow er is being demonstrated every day, enabling these Harroun cars to glide swiftly into their speed; to dart out of traffic .ahead of their rivals; to climb grades and negotiate hard pulling in a way that has excited the envy of all observers. The first Harroun car was equipped with a spring suspension making an entirely new use of the cantilever principle. ' Engineers agreed --and tests bore them out that the Harroun rear springs would absorb more road shocks than any other existing type. Again the answer is PERFORMANCE. Hundreds of thousands of miles have now been covered by these comfortable, easy-riding Harroun cars and there exists NOTA SINGLE CASE of a broken Harroun rear spring. Axles, frames and other parts have also done exactly what their engineer prom- , ised. The. Harroun car has stood up. Perf ormance has also added new laurels to the Harroun's crown in the field of economy. The car that wastes gasoline is a car of the past." Expense, personal satisfaction, patriot ismall these demand a car that will yield you a maximum of miles to the gallon of fuel and .oil. ' ' : The Harroun has solved this problem as no ; other car has ever done. "' ! On the Indianapolis Speedway a Harroun car has covered publicly 49.6 miles on a gallon . of gasoline. It is the world's best record for a level, circular course. On streets ancl roads even more sensational feats have been registered by Harroun cars; One of these was an authentic and carefully , observed run of 64.4 miles on a single gallon of fuel this on a cold, blustering day of early winter when conditions were far from ideal. , The first Harroun car has already covered more than 53,000 miles and is running as swjeetly nd as quietly as it did a year ago. PROMISE, in - 1916 - PERFORMANCE now! That is the Harroun car's record. It is also the record of the organization that stands behind the Harroun car. $1175 F.0.B. SALEM. -' - 83- During this first year of existence the men of the Harroun Motors Corporation enlisted and secured for their project a round two mil lion dollars.' ' V . They have interested in the enterprise more than 15,000 persons who have become its stock holders a host' by far the greatest power of its kind in the automobile industry, and com parable only to that which comprises the U. S. Steel Corporation and one or two others of al most as broad scope. With the money invested by these stock holders the Harroun officers have built at Wayne, Michigan Detroit's western suburb a mammoth and ideally equipped motor car factory, and have put this factory into oper ation. ' So rapidly did this organization work that, before 1916 was over, these plants were build ing and shipping Harroun cars at a rate of 7,500 a year a rate which was radically increased in 1917. . . Harroun cars are sold through distributors, who are bound to the Harroun Motors Corpor ' ation by contracts that cover a period of five years. " . . This fact is of vital importance to you, en suring as it does a service relationship, impos- , sible in the case of cars .which dealers are ; handling on the usual one-year contract ac corded by other manufacturers. During 1918, Harroun distributors will sell 24,000 of these Harroun Motor cars. Each of these cars will embody the many exclusive merits of power, comfort and economy which Harroun design implies. Each will be characteristically a Harroun in workmanship and material. Each will leave our plants only after thor ough road test has demonstrated its fitness to bear the name. Make one of these Harroun cars your new mount. Reservation now will enable you to 1 do so. m SPECIFICATIONS Motor Four cylinders, 3UxoVi; valves-in-head; horsepower, " 10.9, S. A.

Commercial Street & A V 35 8698 AUSTRIA'S FUTURE HAY PROVE SOURCE OF SERIOUS TROUBLE AUSTRIA'S FUTURE By J. W. T. Mason. (United Press War Expert.) Xew York, Xov. 2. The annexation of Austria to the Gorman empire be cause of its Teutonic racial predomin ance, is beginning to appear a possi bility to the statesmen it Berlin. The breakup of the Austro-Hungariau monarchy may thus become the most important feature at the peace con ference through encouraging the Ger mans to intrigue for Jerritorial expan sion. The subtle luwirof Xerman state craft is already apparent in the crea tion of au independent republic, by the j German clement mingled with the Cx-jecho-Hlovak population-of Bohemia, j It in presumably Germany's intention jto uie the phrase "felf-deteniiina-jtion" for the purpose of throwing eoa-j j fusion iato the peace plans of the dem iorratie nations and thereby winning a i Hohenzollern victory at the peace tal- le. If Austiia Hungary crumbles and, the different nationalities form indc-j pendent states, one of the new states will be Austria, which is Germanic as' any of the kingdoms and dukedoms! in the German empire j Austria standing alone would bo wenki arid disgruntled. If, by the terms ofj peace, Italian are so realized ft to de-i prive Austria of ports on the Adriatic,) the little Hapsburg kingdom would be-! ootne n inland state. Under these eondi tions a movement to unite with the; German empire under encouragement j from Beriin, nught spread rapidly am-i ong the Au'rtrian people. But, insisting; at the peace eonfeienec upon Austria's! right to -self-determination of her fu-j turo, the Hohennollcra plcnipotentiar iea might hope to divide the allies. If Austria were to be annexed to her northern neighbor the German empire would emerge from the war more power f ul than at the beginning. The Germans will not abandon the hope of a trium phant outcome of the negotiations until the parchment if signed.. Great skill by the democratic nego tiations will be necessary aud in parti cular full eo-operat.ion among them, iieriuany will be ou the watch to di vide the allies t the slightest sign of discord as Talleyrand did so successful ly on behalf of beaten France at the Vienna peace conference after the Xa poleonie wars. Important Consequences Of Turkeys Fall London, Xov. 2. Discussing the im mediate results of Turkey' exit from the war, the daily News said today: "The armistice will hare direct and important conrc'l'ic'ices. Constantinop le will no doubt h occupied forthwith, by the British forces in Bulgaria, An allied fleet will probably enter the Black sea ig soon as tke Dardanelles is swept of mines. "That will have the effect of freeing the Rumanian and Houth Russian coasts from the domination of the once Russian, but now German black sea fleet. "Hince that fleet consists of two dreaduaughtg and scverul other service able vessels and may be joined im mediately by the Guebott, there is the possibility of a naval battle of some magnitude, but it may well suit the al lies to be content at the present time with sending submarines through the straits. "On land the actual disappearance of Turkey and the imminent disappear ance of Austria ag belligerents leaves Germany insolated and ringed around with enemies. "Formidable allied forces are releas ! ed for diversion to action on the fron tiers of Hiixony or Bavaria, or oIo wher. The cuso of Germany sinka from tho desperate to the irretrievable."
