Section 8. 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. HARRJBBURG TELEGRAPH POULTRY NE ADVANTAGES FOUND IN POULTRY SOCIETY 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. Watch Harrisburg crow! CONGRESS URGED TO If TELEGRAPH LINES [Continued from First Page. ] Division of Salaries and Allowances, 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. FORCES OPPOSING SALOON UPTOWN [Continued from Firtf I'aße.] formed Church, and the Rev. J. Brad ley Markward, pastor of the Bethle hem Lutheran Church, will join In leading the services. The speaker will be Dr. B. E. Prugh, of this city. It is the plan to hold the mass meeting to-morrow to develop and concentrate the sentiment of the peo ple. and during the coming week to start monster petitions of remon strance against tjie granting of the li cense to Marcus. Last year petitions two 'yards long were presented in court. DROWNING OE HOOND BRINGS LAD TO TIE [Continued from First I'*;t.] a brief censure from the court for the prosecutor. Here is the story: Up until a few weeks ago John Seitz lived at the house adjoining the Carl sons. Then he removed to the next block. "Tad" was Seitz's dog—and "Tad" either liked the old neighbor hood too well or else he thought too much of Eddie Carlson and the boys who lived near by. At any rate, "Tad" put in most of his time on the porch of the house Seitz vacated. In course of time another family moved in, the mother of whom eventually died. Dur ing her illness "Tad" howled a good deal —whether for either of the above reasons only "Tad" knew, and he can't tell, now—and negotiations were start ed with a view to having "Tad" drowned.

"If those comprising that confer ence will consult the weight and measure laws of Maryland, Massachu setts, Maine or any other of the States having a standard weight for the bushel, they will find that the Penn sylvania standard of weight to the bushel, as named in the act of 1913, is no higher than that of other States, and in fixing the standard on some Schell's Seed Store EGG LAYING CONTEST Week Ending January 24th—Sixth Week l.nlil Total How they I'EXS OK SIX thlNMcrk for (I nerkn fttaiid 1.

If there was 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 ure" was practiced In the sale of sev eral of the commodities the purchas ers would suffer a great loss. For in stance, a bushel measure conforming to the standard would not 'at stroke measure hold sixty pounds of pota toes. The same would be true in measuring apples or any commodity of that nature. "In fixing this standard weight for the various commodities there was no intention of working any hardship, nor does it work any hardship to any dealer. The real purpose of the law is to protect the consumer from those who In the past have made a practico of giving short weight and measure." BITTER PRICES FALL By Associated Pres.'
