New Governor's Home Unlikely.
Despite the importance which many
people attach to the subject, the pro-
posal for a new executive mansion
has made but little progress.
A commission consisting of State
Treasurer Samuel S. Lewis, Auditor
General Edward Martin, and Benson
IE. Taylor, secretary of property and
subject under authorization of a bill
sion is expected to be one of a number
which will show but little progress.
Although a number of recent Gov-
ernors have left the executive man-
sion at the end of their terms deplor-
ing the lack of a modern structure,
Governor Fisher considered a number
of other projects much more neces-
sary. Early in his term he asserted
there is no scarcity of those willing to
live in the executive mansion regard:
less of its condition and he has not in-
dicated any change in his attitude
since that time.
The commission appointed to study
the subject held several informal
meetings, but did little that was defi-
nite. They decided that one thing nec-
essary was an adequate office where
it would be possible for the Governor
to do much of his work undisturbed.
In the present executive mansion
there is no adequate office facilities.
Although Governor Fisher is not
above what he calls “pecking out a
few letters” late at night on his own
typewriter at the mansion, the major-
ity of his work must be done at the
Capitol where all the records are
kept.
A new executive mansion is one of
the subjects which it is expected the
Legislature will consider seriously.

PROPER USE OF
CHAINS ON TIRES.
Chains take a great deal of punish-
ment during a winter’s usage but they
give a proportionate amount to the
automobile.
On a 30 by 4.40 tire, it has been
pointed out, a cross link hits the
pavement 660 times in a mile. When
the car has gone 100 miles, each cross
link has come into contact with hard
pavements or ice 66,000 times.
Add to this pounding the strain of
braking, starting and pulling and
little more may be expected of the
chains.
In return for this hard usage the
chains take their revenge out of the
tires, force the engine to work harder
and may even rip holes into the fend-
ers.
This is of course if the driver is
careless about it.
Proper attachment of chains and
careful driving will afford the most
possible benefit out of them and the
least possible harm to tires, engine or
other parts of the car.
In the first place, the chains must
be put on loosely to allow them fo
work their way around the tires. If
they are tight they will stay in one
position, cutting into the casings and
causing tire trouble. A little play will
cause even wear on the tires all
around.
The chains, however, must not be
too loose or they will rattle against
the fenders when the car is going and
will break easily. Furthermore, con-
stant tapping of a chain on the same
spot will eventually wear a neat hole
there.
Rubber chains, on the contrary,
must be applied as tight as possible.
A good way to do this is to let out
about five or ten pounds of air from
the tires, put on the chains as closely
as possible and then tighten them up
by boosting the reduced air pressure
in the tires again to what is required
for driving.
Applied tightly, rubber chains will
help lengthen the life of the tires.
They may be kept on all winter, no
matter what the weather or condition
of the pavement, for they are no
bother either in driving or in the way
of comfort.
With chains applied motorists
might feel free to swim along the
icyest roads with perfect safety. But
chained tires skid as well as unchain-
ed. Chains are helpful for good trac-
tion, but they are useless when the
car begins to skid.
Tire chain manufacturers says that
drivers should not go more than 25
miles an hour when chains are on the
tires. Weather conditions alone
shonld compel us to keep within this
limit.
Because of the modern hard pave-
ments, it is advisable to keep chains
on the tires only when necessary.
Chains on dry pavements are harmful
to the tires, making riding uncomfort-
able, and a strain on the engine and
wear out faster.
The exception to this

Costly Clinic Being Planned.
Plans for a million dollar clinic,
where the person of average means
may be examined periodically for a
nominal sum, are in the making here
following the proposal by Edward N.
Hurley, Chicago millionaire and
former head of the United States
Shipping Board.
Hurley, in a letter to President
Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern
University, offered to co-operate in
collecting funds for the clinic if the
university will donate the land. Pres-
ident Scott replied that he would put
the plan before the trustees.
“Many persons of wealth have come
to see the advantage of regular phys-
ical examinations but persons of av-
erage means or those in the lesser
earnings classification, unfortunately,
cannot afford this protective service,”
Hurley said in making the proposal.
“Chicago should bring this service
to the masses of people who are the
source of our common prosperity and
progress by establishing clinics with
well known specialists in charge.
“These public health centers should
be devoted entirely to examinations
and no medical treatment should be
given.”
Hurley pointed out that first of all
this pioneer move in clinics should
spring from humanitarian motives
but at the same time there is an
economic reason for the service.
“Employers of large bodies of men
could have no better aid than the
clinic which would examine their men
periodically for signs of disease,”
Hurley said.
The clinic, as proposed by Hurley,
would provide facilities for 100,000
persons yearly and be self-sustaining
after the initial cost of building.

“Stop Signs Upheld by County Jurist.
“The law on “Through Stop” high-
ways has been interpreted in an opin-
{ion handed down by Judge Watson
i R. Davison, of the Franklin county
| courts, the Department of Highusy
has been advised, making clear the
| purpose of the signs erected at inter-
sections. According to Judge Davi-
son’s opinion, it is the duty of the
driver “to come to a full stop, so that
he may observe traffic on the high-
way upon which he is about to enter
upon that highway.” The decision
was rendered after an appeal was
taken by a defendant who testified
that he had come to a full stop 40

MOTORISTS MUST
REPORT MISHAPS.
Although the vehicle code of Penn-
sylvania, in effect since January 1,
provides for the reporting of all ac-
cidents involving personal injury, or
property damage to an apparent ex-
tent of $50, there appears to be gen-
eral misunderstanding of this clause
by the motoring public, according to
a statement by the Keystone Auto-
mobile club.
“We are advised,” says the state-
ment, “by the department of high-
ways that very few motorists know
what is expected of them with respect
to reporting accidents. Every day
letters are sent by the department to
persons who failed to report mishaps
only to be informed they had no
knowledge of the law’s requirement.
Thus far the department has been
lenient, but it feels that sufficient
New Check Signer Used at Capitol.
A mechanical check-signer which
also imprints upon the check, as a :
background for the signature, a pic-
ture of the State Capitol, has been :
installed in the Treasurer’s office of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
to sign ‘the 80,000 or more checks :
drawn each month to meet the State’s |
obligations. The machine is capable
of signing 7,500 checks an hour.
Up until the present time, the Com-
monwealth’s checks have been hand-
signed, with the aid of a multiple pen,
by State Treasurer Samuel S. Lewis,
Assistant Treasurer F. H. Lehman, |
Comptroller J. M. Wilson, Law Clerk
i
Dunn. Upon occasion, as many as |
17,000 checks have been mailed from
Capitol Hill in a single working day,

owners to be acquainted with the
provisions of the vehicle code, and in
the future motorists who neglect to
make reports may face prosecution.
The penalty for violation of the re-
porting provision is $10 fine or not |
more than five days in jail.”
Section 1030 of the vehicle code
provides:
_ “The operator of any motor vehicle
involved in an accident, resulting in
injuries or death to any person, or
property damage to an apparent ex-
tent of fifty dollars ($50) or more,
shall, within twenty-four hours, for-
ward a report of such accident to the
department of highways, except that,
when such accident occurs within an
incorporated city or town, such report
shall be made
hours to the police headquarters in
such city or town. Every police de-
partment shall forward a copy of ev-
ery such report so filed with it to the
department.”
_ In cases where the original report
is sufficient in the opinion of the de-
partment, motorists or police bureaus
may be required to file supplement
reports. Such report shall be for the
information of the department only
and shall not be open to public inspec-
tion. No part of any such report or
any statement contained therein shall
be admissible in evidence in any pro-
ceeding arising from accidents.
Advise Changes in Motor Code.
Recommendations for a proposed
change in the State motor code have
been submitted at a conference of
highway department officials — ——
with city officials and heads of motor
.{glubs.
state
Among the recommendations pro-
posed are: (1) To take the speed lim-
it off pleasure cars on open highways;
(2) to increase the minimum age lim-
it for drivers licenses from 16 to 18
years; (3) require operators of inter-
state busses in Pennsylvania to take
out licenses and fix a schedule of |
maximum hours which bus drivers
may work; (4) make it unlawful. to
drive over a fire hose during a fire;
(5) require eye tests of applicants for
drivers’ licenses.
The recommendations will be sub-
mitted to the Legislature.
Pershing to Rate Salute of 19 Guns.
Gen. John J. Pershing will in the
future receive a salute of 19 guns on
formal occasions, according to a pro-
posed new army regulation. This will
put Pershing on a par with the
French field marshall.
Another important resolution has
been proposed to give reviewing offi
cers more work. At the present time
a reviewing officer salutes a com-
mander of a parading force, then re-
mains at attention. The proposed reg-
ulation will have him salute unit
commanders as far down as the ma- me
jor.
