J f TUESDAY EVENING, SUFFRAGISTS BUSY PLANNING CAMPAIGN [Continued from First Page.J ernor and the next move Is to place it before the voters. By n vote oi oi ayes lo 11 nays, the | resolution proposing the woman suf frage amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution was passed tinully by the Senate last night. The issue now" goes to the voters ot the State for decision at the coming Fall election. The passage of the resolution was hailed by the greatest demonstration that has marked the session up to this time. The Senate gallery, the aisles, and even the sacred carpet whereon the Senators sit, were crowded with women, most of them suffragists. Everywhere the yellow colors and yel low flowers of the suffragists shone beneath the face of fair women. Here and there, not at all in such abund ance, were the red roses of the antl suffragtsts. Lieutenant Governor AlcClaln in the chair wore one of the yellow flowers, and when, just after the demonstration folowing the announcement of the vote, one of the Senators opposed to the resolution complained about the "noise," Mr. McClain's answer was: "Don't you know this is ladies' night?" A signiticant point in the arguments of those Republicans who opposed the amendment was that the members of the Legislature were nominated before the Republican platform containing the suffrage pledge had been adopted. The question, therefore, at once arose whether or not the same argument would not be used against other plat form pledges. Senator Crow, Republican State chairman, who opposed the resolution two years ago, opened in its favor last night, citing the party pledge. He was seconded by Senator Vare. Senators Martin and Hilton also spoke in favor. Senator Beidleman spoke against the resolution, reiterating his view that the people of the State and of his district in particular were against stiffm*"". He said he felt it his duty to vote as he did out of regard for the sentiment of his constituents. He thought nine tenths of the members would vote as he did had they made as careful an in quiry as he had. He said members elected last November were nominated! before the State Republican platform was adopted and therefore not strictly bound by it. Senator Thompson, of Beaver, also spoke in opposition. Many Senators like McNlchol, of Philadelphia, believe the amendment stands no chance this Fall. Senator Crow in his address emphasized this when he said: "A vote here to support the resolu tion does not mean that members of the Legislature are obliged to support the resolution at the polls." The vote in favor was: ClarK McKee, W. C. Crort Moore Crowe Patten I>aix Phlpps Ensley Salus Farley Schantz utran Semmens Gyger Sensenlch Hilton Smith, R. F Hlndman Smith. W. W. Hoke Snvder, C. A. Homsher Snyder. P. W. Jenkins Sprout Kurtz Stewart Lynch Tompkins Magee. C. J. Vare Martin Warner McConnell Wasbers Those opposed were: Kline Gerberich Beidleman Hackett Buckman McNichol Burke Sones Catiin Thompson uewltt Mrs. Horace Brock, president of the Pennsylvania Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, commented thus on the legislature's action: "The anti-suffragists of Pennsylva nia are entirely satisfied with the de cision of the Legislature to submit wo man suffrage to the voters. "Having made a careful survey of the State during the last two years and having studied the national tendency toward economy, efficiency and conser vation, illustrated by the rejection of woman suffrage by eleven States since November 1, li) 14. we have no fear for the result in November, after which wo men will be able to resume their normal iife and charitable and civic activities, which have been most seriously inter ered with by this agitation or 'votes for women." " International Has Jitney Service For Visitors The international motor truck de partment are having an independent exhibit in their new headquarters, 619 Walnut street. Free transportation to | visitors from their headquarters to both automobile shows is a courtesy extended from the 13th to the 20th, inclusive. ! C. J. Stevens, manager of the Inter national motor truck department, an nounces that for the benefit of Inter national truck owners they have es tablished a complete service station, which will be at the command of all International truck owners, no matter how old their trucks may be. This supply house will carry an abundant line of motor trucks of the popular sizes, also a complete line of truck parts, thus saving valuable time and extra expense to their hundreds of patrons. These vital features, to gether with the reliability of the manufacturing company and the sales agency back of it, speak for the per manency of the International motor truck department . Merchants can no more disregard the advantages of the motor truck than their daily papers and telephones. Business firms now recognize the fact that new trade is necessary and horse and wagon delivery will limit them to a restricted territory and volume. The motor truck permits a large expansion of trade and the Inter national is constantly making deliv eries to progressive firms who believe in trade expansion. The smaller firms formerly held to the idea that the motor truck was only practical for the larger concerns, but have now broadened their views, lost that business timidity and are pur chasing trucks as a matter of economy and business expansion. The many up-to-date features of the new 1915 models of International mo tor trucks are both Interesting and pleasing to the many visitors and pur chasers now calling at the Inter national motor truck department, 619 Walnut street, Harrisburg, Pa. Gear Ratio of Hudson Is Nearest Perfection Chief Engineer G. G. Behn, of the Hudson, likes to take on technical topics. But he has a way of investing them with a simplicity and clearness that makes these dry subjects attrac tive to any motor car enthusiast. Most buyers know very little on the fea ture of gear ratio, and yet it is vital, Mr. Behn says, to real motor car sat isfaction. A twenty horse power truck motor can pull a huge load up a prettv stiff Igrade, and do it at a fair speed. It does it, however, very noisily and with |excessive vibration. Some people think that they would like to have low power motor of this kind in their car, and have an idea that they would then gain fuel economy, and yet have plenty of power. Mr. Behn shows how this idea is a fallacy because the motor would require to turn over at such a tremenfious rate in order to gain driving-wheel speed, that it would not be satisfactory for a pleas ure car. On the other hand, a motor that is geared too high does not produce sat isfaction because it must of necessity have a very powerful motor in order to overcome the high gear ratio. There is &n ideal in this, as In all automobile designing. A moderate gear ratio makes the ideal car for a pleasure car. It gives excellent power on hills and under dilficult road con ditions. and yet it is sufficiently high so that the motor operates pleasant!v, and without vibration or noise. Very low gear ratios, because of tremen dous speed, are apt to prove unpleas ant and costly at speeds of thirty miles per hour and over.

Trucks in War Prove Their Worth to Commerce "Brodbingnagians of Battle and of Business" is the title of a livewire bul letin now being issued by the Pack ard Motor Car Company. It contains a thought for American businessmen: Mars Is motorized. Gasoline is greater than gunpowder. Twentieth century war demands the power of high explosives put into har ness. Never was nn engine of war sub jected to such tests as the motor truck in Europe. That the engine in this case was taken from the humdrum commercial field intensifies the tri umph. Truly, the great war will go down as the automobile armageddon. Trains of motor trucks are tne chief means of transport. They carry food for the men and food for the cannon. They carry also the cannon. By their faith in the motor truck, the captains of war have shamed the lesser faith of many captains of indus try. When the Germans poured across Belgium, one saw storehouse, bakc shop, forge and cobbler shop setting a pace which would have ditched Sher man's Atlantic Mule Express, the old time record holder as a war special. Compared to these massive steel car riers, Hannibal's elephantine trans ports were puny things. They wefu good in their day but a bigger day has dawned. On the present crazy-quilt contour of cramped old Europe, where to-day's trench is traded to-morrow, railroads do not stay put. What you don't tear up in your retreat, the enemy destroys. Bridges and tunnels are dynamited, embankments effaced, rails warped and terminals razed. War was the opportuniev of Amer ican motor trucks. How did they re spond ? The Department of Commerce shows that truck shipments have averaged in value from two and one-half to three and one-half millions of dollars per month since last Fall. More trucks have been shipped In thirty days than were shipped during the whole of 1913. It is a war on wheels. Trucks brought up the "Jack Johnsons'' tlipt "golumpused" the forts at Liege, Mau beuge and Namur. Galliene motored 70,000 men from Paris to Meaux. thir ty miles, in six hours when he heard Von Kluck knocking at the outer gates of the French capital. Thirty thousand motor vehicles account for the amazing mobility of the Kaiser's forces in the eastern theater of war. In the rear, in the van, rushing am munition to the breech of the cannon, hurrying the thousands of wounded to the base hospitals, the truck has traveled over good, bad, worse and even no roads in every plague of weather. In'the destructive work of wartime, the motor truck is no longer on trial, [llow long will the generals in the con structive work of commerce cling to their ttmeworn methods of hauling? To-day in Europe, the tramp, tramp, tramp—what there is of it, is lost in the putt, putt, putt of the "lorries." The motor truck has even muffled the drums of war. Along with the fife, the drum has passed to the mu seums. The pulse of the gasoJine mo tor, is the only soul ignition the tighter of to-day asks or can hear. The mo tor truck carries the superior force to the point of contact. What the motor truck has done in a few months in war, it is certain to do more gradually in the morp deliberate contests of business. Never before was the motor truck so full of inter est for men who are on speaking terms with opportunity. Valve-in-head Motors Have Won Many Races The new Buick six-cylinder road ster is the car that attracted so much attention at the New York and Phila delphia shows. All of these the com pany will manufacture have already been disposed of to the different deal ers. The motor is the most expen sive single factor in the construction >if the automobile, representing in round numbers one-quarter of the cost of the finished product. It must be absolutely dependable, or your mo tor car is worthless. Wherever power and endurance are most needed the valve-in-head motors are found effi cient.

Buick cars still hold the twen ty and fifty-mile world's speed re cords and more A. A. A. official speed records than any car but one. Buick cars have won the most recent reli ability tests—the 1914 three thousand mile tour of France, the most stren uous test ever staged by France; the latest New York reliability run, the most strenuous test from the stand point of technical examinations to which automobiles have ever been subjected in this country, and the fourth Wisconsin economy reliability tour, repeat inn a previous victory in this run and averaging 24.8 miles per gallon of gasoline. Buick valve-in-head motors have won more than 500 hill climbing, speed, reliability, . economy and en durance contests, moer than any other make, regardless of price. Local Reo Agency Reports Excellent Business The wonderful popularity of the I Reo line of automobiles made by one i of the greatest manufacturers in the United States, has been very forcibly demonstrated by the quantity of cars that the local representative, the Har risburg Automobile Company have been handling in the last year. One hundred and fifty-seven cars were de livered in this territory during the season of 1914, which was considered a very good year's business. The ID 15 business is still far more gratifying to the Reo Company, and up to the present time George G. McFarland, of the Harrisburg Automobile Company, has delivered to his customers 14 0 Reo cars with four carloads on the road for immediate delivery. A total of 212 orders have been taken for delivery up until the first part of April. In addition to this business they have stored fifty-one cars in S. B. Romberger's storage warehouse in South Tenth street. These stored summer months for late buyers and summer months for late bueyrs and were stored by this enterprising firm, who knew very well that they would not be able to get enough cars during the summer months to supply the de mand for this most popular car. The popularity of the car has grown in leaps and bounds. Reo owners find they can drive their cars over all kinds of roads the year around, 10,000 miles at an average cost of between 2 and 3 cents a mile for all expenses outside of washing and storing, that the car is always ready to go. When it. needs repairing it is so constructed that a repair bill is of a most moder ate amount. The Harrisburg Auto mobile Company keeps on hand at all times a large quantity of parts and is in position to supply Reo owners instantly with what they want, even on cars that were made in 1907 and 1908. They practically have a fac tory branch at their establishment at Third and Hamilton streets. RESULTS TELL ! 'Jliere Can Be Xo Doubt About the Itcsults ill Harrisburg Results tell the tale. All douht is removed. The testimony of a Harrisburg citi zen. Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? Mrs. William Shearer, 314 Nectarine street, Harrisburg, says: "One of the family suffered from sharp, shooting pains through the small of his back. A feeling of languor clung to him and he had dizzy spells. On a friend's ad vice be got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and he felt better at once after using them. The pains through his back left, the tirod feeling went away and his health improved. As soon as I get a pain in my back T take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they never fail to give me relief. I still hold as high an opinion of them now as when I publicly endorsed them."

MARCH 16, 1915. 7-Passenger 3-Passenger Phaeton Roadster Its Supremacy Shows In Its Utter Refinement Any man who investigates will concede to the HUDSON the class place among Light Sixes. Its supremacy is too apparent to be questioned. It shows in every detail, in finish, in equipment. Our whole engineering force, headed by Howard E. Coffin, has devoted for years to this model. So every feature, big and small, shows the final touch. But the all-important fact is that the HUDSON Six-40 is the proved-out car of this popular type. Over 10,000 cars—last year's model and this year's—have been tested in owners' hands. They have run for some 25 million miles without bring ing out a single fault or shortcoming. This model now has 10,000 endorsers among men who know it well. Some of those men are near you. Your Questions We have saved in this Light Six some 1,000 pounds. We have used new and better materials. We have equipped it with a new-type high-speed motor. We have reduced operative cost about 30 per cent. We have cut tire cost in two. Now you want to know how these radical changes affect what a car can do and stand. The HUDSON Six-40 has 10,000 answers to every question of this kind. All those questions ha\'e yet to be answered in a car that copies this. I he HUDSON Six-40, in its beauty and com pleteness, will appeal to your pride of ownership. Its records will appeal to your judgment. And Hudson service—the best in America—will appeal to your wish to have a car kept at its best. Let us demonstrate them all.
