"The Car of the Hour" Now upon its second triumphant1 year with a record of perfect scores and highest economy honors in every contest it has entered, including some of the most &roellin& reliability and endurance runs of the past season. The most recent championship performance of the Elgin Six was the establishing of a new record of 67 .hours between Chicago and Miami, Florida, over some of the roughest, steepest mountain roads and through tho heaviest sand and mud in the country. The Elgin improved velvet -acting clutch enables the Elgin Six to be started on high gear, under ordinary conditions, eliminating almost entirely the necessity of gear shifting and removing the last barrier to the safe and asy driving of a motor car by women. The Elgin improved cantilever rear spring suspension, found only in Elgin cars, has-set a new standard of motoring ease and comfort at high speed. You can safely drive an Elgin Six in comfort at 35 to 50 miles an hour over -roads so rough that the average car is limited to half that speed. That this big, roomy, impressive quality car has been designed to sell at less than-$1,000 is the most notable achievement of the year in motordom. $1,500 quality at $985 Can you-af ford to buy a small "cheap Six",' when for a slight additional cost you can drive this Capable Six this big, roomy, impressive quality car, of supreme beauty and comfort? Can you afford to pay more than the Elgin Six price when this "Beauty of the Road" embodies in such full measure all the quality, style and comfort desired by the discriminating motorist?

THREE ELGINS WIN PERFECT SCORES Running faultlessly over roads of all descriptions aud under most exacting weather conditions, three slxc Under Klgin touring tars finished the Chicago Motor club's endurance run to Bass Iike, lnd., and return with perfect scores. News of the triple victory of the Klgin. the second within a period of four weeks, was received last night by 1. J. Wilson of 1246 South Flower street, distributor ' of Klgin cars In southern California. Conditions Severe. The annual reliability run of the Chicago Motor club attracted a big entry list. The conditions of the contest were severe, and the perfect record made by the three Elgins Is a source of graet glee for Mr. Wilson and his sales organization. The two-day run was made during the period In which Chicago was sweltering under a wave of torrHS weather, and in spite of the unusual humidity the Elgin sixes finished the hard .run without tie addition of a drop of water to the supply In the radiaor. truly a forceful demonstration of the cooling efficiency of the engine. Economy was one of the strong points brought out In the run. for the eeim

THE TIMES

threa machines averaged 25.6 miles the gallon of gasoline on the long grind, and an equally good showing was made in the consumption of lu bricating oil, each quart taking the cars 200 miles. Durability proved. The Chicago run was the second big victory for the Elgin, the "bull like a watch" machines having achieved perfect scores in an eastern reliability run several weeks ago under equally trying conditions. The durability and dependability of the Elgin have been thoroughly demonstrated with the result that the factory and its great sales organization are "busy taking care of the heavy demand for cars. D. J. Wilson, the southern California distributor, is receiving regular shipments, and Is delivering new touring models to Los Angeles purchasers. From the Los Angeles Tribune. TO END LIFE Arrested by the police of Hoopeston. 111., for obtaining money under false pretenses, Mrs. Nick Matrevlch, formerly of Indiana Harbor, committed suicide In the Jail of that place last night. It seems that Nick Matrevlch and Louis Bradvlch, a saloon keeper at 3S05 Deodar street, Indiana Harbor, were .a n mra

very good friends and Nick sent word from Sullivan, lnd., that ha needed some money. Louis sent him $50, but learned a little later that Nick did not receive it. Upon investigation it was found that the monel order was cashed by Mrs. Matrevlch. That was a couple of weeks ago. A couple of times since then Louis has received requests for money. A few days ago, Bradvlch got another telegram, this time from Hoopeston, 111., asking for more money. Within a( hour or so he met Nick on the streets of Indiana Harbor and . learned that Nick had left his wife and that his wife was using his friends to get more money. A wire was sent at once to Hoopeston to the police, to pick up the woman. They did so yesterday and last night she hanged herself In her cell. For the sake of former friendship Bradvlch left Indiana Harbor this noon bound for Hoopeston to see that the woman. had a decent burial. $20,000 GARY'S 'BIT' ' UP TO NOON (Continued from page one.) to the realization that every dollar they give will succor perhaps one of their own eons and Gary so far and there is no doubt that It will, respond nobly. There isn't a man, woman and child old enough to understand, that doesn't know that Gary's greatest campaign is on. The city is literally covered with beautifully decked posters. Shops windows are decorated. In fact ever conspicuous place available has been utilized by the Red Cross advertising committee. Talks are given nightly In the theatres by business men and Mrs. Kate Wood Ray. Every department store, clerk, restaurant waiter or waitress, almost everyone employed in public life has been asked to help. Gary's thousands of mill employes will contribute one day's pay to the fund. The company has Issued them a separate check for one day's pay and all are expected to "do their bit" by turning the check over to the Red Cross. Already the steel company men have signed up for over $5,000 and the American Bridge for $1,500. Literature of almost every tongue is being distributed. Teams are making tours of every section of the city, nothing IS being left undone to again put Gary foremost in patriotic duties. Theatre managers will contribute one day's receipts and allow speakers to explain the Red Cross on their platforms. Early Tuesday morning the teams were on the job. Office men were stopped as they were opening their doors and by noon the grand result was announced at a luncheon at the Commercial club. Daily captains of the teams will meet at noon at the headquarters and make a full report of their collections. The result will then be posted on the big thermometer on the Gary hotel. Gary has pledged over three times as much as St. Joseph county, with South Bend as its county seat and with a population exceeding Gary. St. Joseph county has been asked for only $35,000. Gary's $100,000 is the largest amount pro rata, asked of any one city in the state except Indianapolis, and Gary csmpaign heads contemplate little trouble in "over subscribing" it. Many are turning over their Liberty Loan bonds to the fund. School children have been asked to contribute. INTEREST GREAT AT HARBOR (Continued from Page One.) most enthusiastic and patriotic meetings ever held in the city was that of the precinct captains and workers on Monday evening. This movement and the success that it has 'attained is by far the biggest thing ever pulled off in the city. The officers of the Harbor chapter took time yesterday from their strenuous work on the campaign to plan for the care of the families of the boys going to the front. They emphatically decided that everything that Is humanly rosihle shall be dona'to protect the homes of every soldier or sailor enlisting from Indiana Harbor from misfortune of any Bort. The civilian relief committee that Is to have charge of this work will be announced In the near future and a bureau of advice and Information to which the soldiers' families may come with all their troubles will be opened before the first of July. It is authoritatively reported that the Inland Steel Co. has poured out nearly a hundred thousand dollars for Red Cross work, ten thousand of that amount having been subscribed to the local chapter. J. W. Lees. himself. superintendent of the plant and chairman of the local chapter has signed up for $1,000; Mrs. J. W. Lees, for $500. Walter J. Riley has also contributed $1,000. Several of the patriotic societies of the Harbor have ben holding benefits and turning the proceeds over to the campaign committee. A great impetus was given the movement last Saturday evening when Fredrick Russell Clark gave one of his stir ring war talks at Indiana Harbor.
