June 27 The 1917 Legislature, when It starts on the lt twenty-four houjs of Its labors to da'. will try to rush through fewer last hour measures than any General Assembly for many years. The Senate has cleared Its calendar and jnly ha to consider bills that come from the House of Representatives. The lower branch has less than 100 bills to consider before noon tomorrow, when final adjourn ment will be taken. The House calendar was cleared of 165 Uou$e bills last night by 'the Vare-Drum-bsugn"- forces, who wanted to advance the SalU' transit bill and make certain that )t would come up for a vote before the Legis lature adjourns sine die. Representative Powell. of Luzerne, turted this maneuver by offering a motion , to strike from the calendar six measures which he had Introduced and which were en third reading. Representative Phillips, et Clearfield, then offered an amendment to the Powell motion to Include all House fcl'ls that wero on the third reading exlendar. The Penrose members and tho "cwuntry' members voted with them on it,. motion. When they checked things up, however, they found that many of their S,, measures had been sent to the ncrap U.I. Tie Philadelphia smaller council bill vas among the measures that went Into the ilfcard through the adoption of the motion, the Vare forces wanted this and had this ta vlew when they had the motion offered, the amendments to the workmen's com pensation act that were Introduced by the fiber element In the Legislature also were licrlflced In order to advance the Salus bill. The House last rtightVassed the Tompkins Benate bill providing for a pension system for'teachers who come under the supervision of'the State. The measure does not Include those In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. It -A amended In the House to provide pen liom for all teachers who are sixty-two years of age or over and who have served for forty years or inore. The teachers will pay one-haif of the cost of the system, the ichool districts one-fourth and the State ene-fourth The vote on It was 172 to 17. It joes to the Senate today for concurrence In the amendments, and Will" then be sent to the Governor. The Vare anti-dope bill, which was passed by the Senate last Monday night is on th House calendar today for final passage. It had to lie over for a day because of the delay of the State printers. The House last night finally defeated the ttern bill granting a State appropriation of 1500,000 for the Improvement of the sub urban roads in Philadelphia County. It also defeated the Vare bill granting an ap propriation of $60,000 as a preliminary owe toward establishing a branch Capitol tt Philadelphia. This bill will come up again today, however, when the Vare mem bers will make an effort to have It recon Idered, An agreement has been reached upon the lait revenue-raiser still on the calendar. This is the auto license bill. The Buckman kill, which increased the license fees, will U dropped and the Mearkle. which was the original bill, will be amended and rushed through the Senate. Incidentally, the amendments to the Mearkle bill that have been agreed upon Include a provision that all members of the Legislature and the general officers of the Legislature shall receive free auto licenses from the State. The bill would Increase the State's revenues from $400,000 to JBOO.000 a year It reduces the age limit for drivers from tlfhteen to sixteen years of age. and changes the time limit for half-year licenses from July 1 to September 1 The minimum fee for pneumatic tir vehicles, or pleasure ears, under thirty-five horsepower, is placed at J10, which is an increase for all light pleasure cars. The new schedule of fees for trucks and Jther solid tire automobiles la as follows: 1900 pounds or less, J10; between 3000 and 0OO pounds, $16 j between 4000 and 6000 pounds, $20 ; between 6000 and 7000 pounds, mi over 7000 pounds, $30. The fees for trailers are increased proportionately.

HAWLEY URGES 20,000 U.S. PLANES FOR RUSSIA Will Also Recommend Sending of 5000 American Aviators to Aid Slav Armies NEW YORK. June C7. Tresldent Allan R. Hawley. of the Aero i-lub of America, announced today that he would recommend to the American Govern, ment the building of :n,ooo battle planes and the training of Bnon American aviators for the Russian front. "Russia Is fighting blind." said Han ley. "And the greatest practical service we can render that struggling democracy Is eyes for her army and artillery. "She has multitudes of men. She has more guns and ammunition than Is sus- pected. She Is more ready to fight than we know. "Russia's worst handicap is lack of air craft. We are the only one'of the Allies In a position to remedy the shortage. "If we can equip the Russians with good aerial eyes at the same time we overwhelm the Teutons on the western front with our ;o,00f) aviators and 100.000 fighting planes, the crushing power of our blow will be augmented by at least 50 per cent. "Mans are well advanced for the manu facture of the 100,000 planes and training of the UB.OOO men for the western front. "We can add Boon men and 20.000 planes to the program without much trouble, be. cause our machinery will soon be standard. Ized for Immense production." Hawley's Idea Is that we should send one air squadron to the Russian front as quick ly as possible, for moral effect. "One air squadron would accomplish wonders In battle.'' said Hawley, "and It would convince Russia that America Is In to fight for and with her. "One squadron consists of thirty-six ma chines and nineteen officers and IRf me chants and assistants. "Two of the thlrty.slx machines are for actual rcrvlce and the remaining thirty, four are held In reserve.' Industrial School Graduates Twelve CHAMBERSBCRG, Pa..

In order to maintain the well-known standards of Paige quality such a step is 'unavoidable. The market quota tions of all raw materials, accessories and labor have steadily advanced some commodities to the extent of 300 per cent. Inasmuch as we insist upon using only the best of materials, we are left with but one alternative an increased list price to absorb the increased manufacturing cost. As a matter of economic fact, the price of our cars should have been advanced several months ago. We have chosen to delay this action, however, until the last possible moment. But even though Paige prices are to be substantially increased, you can rest assured that our cars will continue to offer more actual dollar for dollar value than any other cars on the American market. From a purely compara tive standpoint Paige cars have always been under priced and they will remain so no matter how far the commodity prices may advance. Owing to the scarcity of materials, our production between now and July 15th will necessarily be limited. We-have apportioned this production to Paige dealers throughout the country, and they will accept orders until their in dividual allotments are exhausted. As a last thought in regard to this matter of price, please remember that the Paige has long since demonstrated its independence of all "price fields." American men and women now buy a Paige not because of the price tag which is attached to it -out because of its well established reputation as a fine mechanical product. On this basis the Paige will always represent a preferred investment. Its actual cost in dollars and cents will always be an important, but an altogether secondary, consideration.

The Allies will shortly call upon Ameri can women lo make one of the supreme sacrifices of the war. They will ask them io put patriotism ahead of love for their husbands and sons and stay at home. When the first American expeditionary force takes its place In the Allied line on the uestern front, first holding n piece of the Kntente battle line In Belgium and later taking part In one of the great "pushes" against the Germans, many Americans will be killed nnd many more wounded. It Is the wives nnd mothers nnd sweet hearts iff the latter who must then "come arnss" by not coming across. The Allied ftnefs teallze what a sacrifice this will mean and American women will. also. hn the time comes. Americans who have fillen and are wounded In hospitals here ..r In France will want their wives and ivthers. nnd the women of the I'nlted "intes i want to come to them. The serious food shortage here nnd In France, however, makes It undesirable for .thee countries to feed the enormous num ber of women who will want to come. There Is also a shortage of hotel accommodations ind of transportation facilities. There would be tho Increased responsibility of caring for the American women nnd pro viding them with safe transportation across luft Atlantic This Is another great lesson of the war which Knglnnd has learned and which Vmerlca can profit by.
