Repair Bill Only $1.25 With
Abbott on 16,000 Mile Trip
A remarkable trip by Anna H. Kipp,
of Rutherford. N. J., was reported to
the Abbott Motor Oar Company, of
this city. C. D. Stewart, the district
manager for the eastern territory, re
ceived a letter stating that a 16,000-
mile trip had just been completed with
a repair hill of only $1.25. This was
for a broken leaf in one of the springs.
A .trip of this kind demonstrates the
efficiency and economy of the modern
motor car better than any theoretical
discussion of probable cost of upkeep.
A good standard car in the hands of
a careful driver will render splendid
service to the owner and last as long
as any other reliable piece of me
chanism.
WHAT MODEL IS YOUR
MENTAL MOTOR CAR?
A Man's Circumstances Naturally
Governs His Preference in
Choice of Car
Every man has his (deal of what an
automobile should be and do. In each
case, his mental motor car is propor
tioned to his circumstances. The
man of many millions wants a large,
luxurious car. Probably his car will
be driven by a paid chauffeur. The
buying price of the car cuts very lit
tle figure. The cost of up-keep, the
number of miles It makes per gallon
of gasoline, the expense of tires, the
ease or facility of examination of var
ious parts do not particularly inter
est this owner. He Is looking for
style, for power, for the extreme of
comfort. The amount invested and
the selling value of the car at the end
of a certain time do not Impress him
as excessively important.
On the other hand, a man of small
means, possibly with a small business
or on a salary, or he may be a farmer
or a man in a small town, has in mind
a small light car of moderate power,
low up-keep expense, large number
of miles per gallon, small tire expense.
To him the annual up-keep of the car
or the amount it costs per month,
is of vital importance. Between these
two, there is an army of motor car
owners and drivers who can afford to
pay $1,500 to $2,000 for a car. They
do not care to pay more than this.
They have enough money so that they
can pay a reasonable sum per year
for up-keep. They are looking for
style, for beauty, for convenience, and
for as much as possible of luxury.
They want a car that they personally
can drive readily and pleasurably.
They want one that is not too big for
the family, and that will not cost
them excessively for up-keep.
Should you ask one of these men
what was his mental motor car, his
ideal of what would suit him best, he
would probably say "A car about 123
in wheelbase, a six-cylinder car be
cause of its smoothness and flexibil
ity, a car that weights not over 3.000
pounds, that will accommodate four
people nicely and five or six people
In an emergency." He would want a
car that would not cost too much for
up-keep expense. His tires should be
in the neighborhood of 34x4 inches,
which is about a medium standard
size. The horsepower of the car
should be from forty to forty-five. He
would expect to get from fourteen to
eighteen miles to the gallon of gaso
line. He would want a car that was
electrically started and lighted and
that had left-hand drive and center
control. His car should be of such
a class and quality that it would, at
the end of a year or two. retain good
investment value. That is, if he
wanted to trade it in for another car
or wanted to sell it, he could get a
reasonable figure for it so that the
total cost per annum for his motor
car pleasure and usefulness would not
be excessive.
I. W. Dill, the local Hudson dis
tributor, in conversation with a caller
yesterday, outlined the above as
about the general opinion of what
one hundred thousand men would
consider an ideal far for a man in
moderate circumstances. The caller
agreed with Mr. Dill. He said that
this was just about the car that he
himself had had in mind. Mr. Dill's
reply to this suggestion was to ex
plain to his caller the specifications of
the new Hudson Six-40 which he re
cently received from the factory. He
congratulated his caller upon his men
tal car. "Because," he said, "this
shows that your idea and the ideas
of Howard E. Coffin who designed the
Hudson Six-40 run along almost iden
tical lines The specifications you
wish are practically those of the Hud
son Six-4 0 which is popularly known
as the Hudson Light-Six."
Announcement has just been made
of this new Hudson Six. Much in
terest has been aroused because of
the fact that it is aimed to suit the
I ideas of the great middle class army
of motorists who want a car such as
described at the price given.
PRICES FOR POULTRY DUE
TO PROMISCUOUS BUYING
Usually there is more or less dis
satisfaction among farmers with the
price paid in the Fall for chickens.
Autumn invariably marks the low ebb
of poultry prices, regardless of the
price of feeds. There are several rea
sons for this, one of which is that
the market is flooded at this season
with poor quality stuff, and quality,
to a large degree, determines the price
of perishable farm products.
The average farmer pays very lit
tle attention to the quality of the
surplus poultry he throws 011 the mar
ket when frosty weather heralds the
coming of winter, or at any other
season for thaf matter. He pays very
little attention to the poultry anyway,
raising what he does usually with a
view to having plenty to use on the
home table and replenish the flock
of hens that are kept for eggs. Those
not needed or wanted for that purpose
are sold —cockerels, old hens and
roosters and unthrifty specimens of
both sex.
Musophone Demonstration
Here Next Wednesdey
Members of the Harrisburg Natural
History Society will be given a demon
stration of the educational possibilities
of the musophone, a new type of the
talking moving picture machine, on
Wednesday night in Technical high
school. The company Is sending two
singers here and five men to help in
the demonstration which is to be
made before the State school directors
meeting on Thursday and Friday. This
is the second exhibition of these pic
tures in the United States.
RAIN. SNOW AND COLD
IS WEATHER FORECAST
Rain and snow and colder weather
—this is the gloomy prospect handed
out to Harrisburgers for to-night and
possibly to-morrow. A quick shift In
the journeyings of a storm brought
the rain, contrary to the expectations
of the Weather Bureau, and the cord
weather was delayed twenty-four
hours on that account. The rain Is to
continue all day and to-night, and by
to-morrow it will most likely be clear
and cold.
The river is rapidly rising, Caching
7.3 feet this morning. The last ice
gorge went out at Williamsport lapt
night and the river is clear. No flood
stage is expected, but the river will
be full.
OLDEST PATIENT EVER
TREATED AT HOSPITAL
The oldest patient ever treated at
the Harrisburg Hospital is Miss Ix>ulsa
Krause, 90 years old, of Capital and
Briggs streets, who was admitted yes
terday. suffering from an infection of
the foot.
Miss Krause is In a serious con
dition and because of her age her
chances of recovery are few. The next
«->ldest patient ever treated at the hos
, |iltal was 88 years.

Need to Weld Local Associations
Together to Produce
Better Eggs
Pennsylvania is a great agricul
tural State and within its boundaries
there are many thousands of people
interested in poultry. An immense
advantage could be gained for this
great and growing industry with all
these poultry keepers pulling to
gether as a unit.
There are more than one hundred
local poultry associations in the State
whose membership alone, welded In
to one organization, would be the
largest livestock association in the
State. The number of local associa
tions increases rapidly each year
without any organised effort to bring
about such Increase.
Unfortunately, in most localities at
present, most associations are organ
ized for the sole object of holding an
annual poultry exhibition. Poultry
men see no other object In organiz
ing and in localities where the hold
ing of a show is not feasible there Is
no association. There are, however,
other fields of usefulness In which
every poultryman should Interest him
self. The important work and duty
of Pennsylvania poultry keepers to
day is to produce more dozens of
choice eggs and more pounds of qual
ity poultry flesh.
Poultry keeping is far from being
an exact science; the average hen will
lay seventy eggs in a year while a
good one will lay 200 or more; one
style of poultry house will keep the
flock In good health while another
will cause disease and failure; certain
feeds may be used more economically
than others. These and a thousand
other problems are yet to be worked
out before the commercial poultry
business will have progressed beyond
the haphazard stage.
Harrisburg Hens Watched
at Connecticut Show
Those Harrisburg hens from the
Fritchey farm are fast losing favor
with their co-workers in the egg-lay
ing contest at Storrs, Connecticut.
"Killing the job" is the charge made
against them.
They are going at a rate that might
cause the less industrious hens to
suspect that a system of bonus or
piece work was back of it all. In
inis big race to see whose hens can
produce breakfast bacon's boon com
panion with the greatest facility, the
Harrisburg team won out with a lead
of six portions in one week, the
twelfth. They laid 33 eggs in the
seven days while their nearest com
petitor or the other 81 hens tallied
only 27. With 267 eggs credited they
now occupy sixth place in the race,
having moved up from eighth place in
the last two weeks.

composing the committee. They were
accompanied by statistical informa
tion collected after one of the most
exhaustive investigations undertaken
by the Post Office Department.
The report states that the United
States is "alone of the leading na
tions which has left to private enter
prise the ownership and operation of
the telegraph and telephone facili
ties," and that practically all of the
economists who have treated the sub
ject are agreed that telegraph and
telephone facilities should be con
trolled by the government.
It declared further that Theodore
N. Vail, president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, by
his statement that the telephone busi
ness must be "under common con
trol" and "sufficiently strong to con
stitute practically one system, inter
communicating, interdependent, uni
versal." has himself pointed out that
the most efficient telephone service
can be attained only under a condi
tion of monopoly.
The report continues:
Must Be Self-supporting
"The private monopoly has no in
centive to extend its facilities to un
profitable territory; but the gov
ernment must serve all the people.
This universal service is accomplished
by the equalization of rates. In fixing
rates, the policy of this government
Is to superimpose no charge for taxa
tion, but only to see to it that the
service as a whole is self-supporting.
The private monopoly, on the other
hand, must make a profit and. In pro
viding for this, tends to increase its
rates to the highest point that will not,
by so greatly restricting the volume
of business, impair the aggregate
profit.
"It is obvious that the longer the
acquisition by the government of these
facilities Is deferred the greater will
be the cost. Moreover, it is economic
waste to permit private enterprise to
build up vast properties that must
eventually be taken over by the gov
ernment in resuming its constitutional
monopoly at cost out of all proportion
[to the value of the parts of such prop-
I erties that may be utilized to advan
tage in the postal system.
No lleductolns Made
"So far as the public generally Is
concerned, the entire telegraph ser
vice Is owned and operated by two
telegraph companies. Telegraph fa
cilities have not been extended to the
small towns and villages along with
the government postal facilities, nor
has the cost of the service been re
duced in the inverse proportion that
would seem warranted by the increas
ing volume of business transacted.
Neither has the volume of business
in this country, in proportion to the
population, been as great as in coun
tries where this facility is owned and
operated genernmentally.
"It is needless to enter Into the
manifold advantages and benefits that
would accrue to the people from a
universal telephone service. As it has
done with the mails, it is the duty of
the government to make this facility
available to all of its citizens without
discrlmlnaUon.
Valuations learned
"According to the best available
data the capitalization of the long
distance and toll lines represents ap
proximately $200,000,000, and the
capitalization of the entire commer
cial network approximately $800,000,-
000. The cost to the government
would be less than the appraised
value, since It would be undesirable
for *ie government to purchase the
real estate holdings of the companies.
Exchanges could be leased until ac
commodations could be provided in
the post otlices and stations." ,
BREEDERS SELECT
BIRDS WITH CARE
Sleepy Eyes, Long Neck or Nar
row Disqualify Chickens
For Fancy Breeding
Breeders should tost their stock
during the pullet and cockerel year
then the second year breed from the
specimens that have met the test' in
every way. A thorough test is out
of the question where trap nesting is
not practical, but every poultry keep
er who spends more or less time with
his flock will be able in the course
of a year to get a line* on his most
active and vigorous birds nnd on
those bearing the earmarks of a good
layer also.
No one should select for a breeder
a specimen that has any of the fol
lowing characteristics: Long, slim
back, crow or snake head, sleepy
eyes, long neck, narrow chest, wedge
shaped back, pinched tall, long, slim
legs and toes, extremely shallow ab
domen, or a bird which is deformed
in any way. Specimens of this de
scription either have hereditary taint
or have been grown under conditions
that are far from Ideal, or it may be
that they are overloaded with disease
germs or worms.
Observe closely how the male uses
his legs as he walks about. If he
lifts them high and pushes them for
ward before putting them to the
ground, the Joints are affected and he
is apt to be troubled w r ith rheuma
tism. Such specimens, in time, be
come unable to fertilize the eggs, and
owners wonder why their fertility is
low.
Those that have had any serious
sickness should also be rejected no
mater how complete the recovery. So
far as possible, breed from fowls that
look sufficiently strong and vigorous
to resist disease.

no stundard of weight fixed by law
there would be no way of punishing
those who would give short meusure.
If what is known as "stroke meas
