ANTHRACITE TAX BILL REDRAFTED Administration and Coal Region Men Are Discussing the Amount of Tax Returns A substitute law for the Honey an thracite tax, the constitutionality of which is now before the court, is to be Introduced in the Legislature, Mon day night, by Representative Hugh A. l>awson. of Lackawanna. Taken as a w hole, the measure will ha\e the back ing of the administration and of the people living in the anthracite region. There is a division of sentiment, how ever, between the governor and the representatives of the hard coal coun ties as to the amount of the tax that Bhould be returned to the localities where anthracite Is mined. Under th new bill every ton of an thracite, mined or washed, would be subject to a tax of two and one-half per cent, of the value of the coal when prepared for market. Governor Brum baugh favors the State receiving two thirds of the revenue thus raised, all of it to go to the State Highway De partment, and is not averse to the cit ties, boroughs and township where an thracite is found receiving the remain ing one-third. The people of Scran ton and of the rest of the hard coal belt ask a distribution o fthe tonnage tax on a "fifty-lifty" basis with the State. The administration, at first favored the State receiving the entire tax, but ft protest went up in the hard coal re gion and the Governor and Attorney General Brown met a delegation of Scranton people headed by City Solici tor D. J. Davis, Mark Edgar, secretary of the board of trade there, and R. A. Zimmerman, a Scranton lawyer, and a member of the legislative committee of the trade board, and agreed to favor a measure that would call for a return of a portion of the tax to the anthracite counties. A big factor in bringing about this change in sentiment was Lieutenant- Governor Frank B. McClain's out spoken attitude in favor of the claim of the hard coal localities for recogni tion in the distribution of the tax. fr s FOR RENT PRIVATE ROOMS FOR HOUSEHOLD GOODS Fireproof Storage WE INVITE YOUR INSPECTION Harrisburg Storage Co. 437-445 SOUTH SECOND STREET >■ Regularly Smoked by thousands of smokers because the quality is regularly good.

Historic Forster House Purchased by Jennings Announcement was made to-day that William W. Jennings president of the Commonwealth Trust Company, had purchased the historic Forster property, No, 7 South Front street. No price was mentioned. Mr. Jen nings would not say what he intended to do with the property. The building Is now occupied by the Home and War Relief committee, who i have a lease on It until their work is completed. It is one of the oldest residences In rlarrlsburg, and was originally owned by the late General John Forster. Mr. Jennings purchased the property from Mrs. Herbert Lin coln Clark. Mr. McClaln said that the Roney bill never would have passed the Legisla ture in 1913 but for its carrying a provision that called for the anthra cite counties receiving fifty per cent. of the tax raised. The Dason bill wouud mean much to the State and to the municipalities that would share In the money raised. It Is estimated that a tax such as pro posed would net appropriately $4,888,- 150.82 annually, based on the tonnage figures of 1914. Last year, 91,367,305 tons of hard coal were mined and pre pared for market. The average price per ton. according to mining men. in 1914 was $2.14, that is, this would be the average price of the coal when it came from the breaker, ready for shipment and market. If the Gov ernor wins his fight to save two-thirds of the tax to the State, the Com monwealth's strong box would be en riched $3,258,787.21. Just $1,629,- 363.60 would be returned to the cities, boroughs and townships where an thracite is mined. Seen and Overheard Among Local Garages George R.

The '■ Irish. Scotch and English soldiers face I the bayonets, the machine guns as though out on dress parade. It Is the men who sicken and die in the trench es. or at home after an ardvious cam paign that our sympathy goes out to jmost. There are thousands of such men behind the battle lines who went I to the front without the strong consti tution and good pure blood to with | stand the deprivations, the hardships |of the campaign in Belgium and ; France. It's a warning that we should pay strict attention to our stomach, liver and blood. If one is all out of sorts he should take an invigorating tonic and alterative such as Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery which cures diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It eliminates from the blood disease breeding poisons. It makes the blood rich and pure, and furnishes a founda tion for sound, physical health. Fifty years ago. Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and_ Surgical Institute, at Buf falo, X. V., found that certain barks and roots manufactured by using gly cerine without the use of alcohol or opiates, made into a concentrated ex tract, which he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made a stimulating tonic for the stomach, I helped the digestion and assimulation | of the food and eradicated poisons from the blood. This is nature's cure for indigestion, and by correcting the stomach, and thereby feeding the blood on pure materials, the red blood corpuscles are increased and the body established in a healthv state No one suffers from catarh who has! plenty of red blood corpuscles and a i good digestion. Catarrh in all its ! forms is a stagnation of the blood. In troduce pure red blood into the svstem by taking the "Medical Discovery" and health is assured.—Advertisement. fo/?rtEAL T/iMDSTPEftCTrt DEPTONOI | MADE IN A HEALTH RESORT.

The actors and actresses in the Imp studio I all were given an opportunity to try, | but none of their suggested titles met ; with approval. Finally the Imp director took his : troubles to President Laemmle. He • suggested a few titles for the play, but j none of them "qualified" even In Mr. Uemmle's own estimation. At the regular Tuesday night showing of films "The Photopjay Without a Name' was exhibited and suggestions for a title were invited from all present. A dozen or so were offered, but none of them hit the mark. Finally, in desperation, Mr. Laemmle said: "I'll give SSO to any one who will suggest a title for this film." There are no strings attached to Mr. Laemmle's offer. Each answer should be accompanied by a fifty-word expla nation outlining why the title is chosen. This film, "The Photoplay Without a Name," will be shown at the Palace on Monday. Even though you do not care to suggest a name, it will prove interesting to have an opinion on it.— < Advertisement.

BIOS Fl FIRENOUSE OVER APPROPRIATION Lowest Estimate Is $662.19 More Than Amount Fixed For Royal Building Bids for the construction of the proposed new tirehouse for the Royal Fire Company, the Thirteenth ward's crack tire lighting- organization, were opened at noon by Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, superintendent ot' parks and public property, but no award is possible under the figures submitted because the lowest bid, $8,162.19, 1b just st>62.lA more than the $7,500 appropriated for the build ing. Under the circumstances, Commis sioner Taylor said he Is not prepared to go before Council, Tuesday with any recommendations until C. Howard Lloyd, the architect, and himself have had a chance to go over the bids again and determine whether or not some of the features of construction may be cut out in order to pare the amount to the appropriation. If tills cannot be done Commissioner • I Taylor will likely have to re-advertise i for bids. The $8,102.19 represented the ag gregate low hids on construction of [the house, heating, plumbing and elec trical work. If the 5 per cent fee for [the architect's services are Included the sum will total $8,537.19. Eleven Set* or Bids Eleven sets of house specifications alone were taken out and six bids for this pari of the work were received- The average bid was $7,206. There were six bids on heating, five on plumbing and two for electrical work. Only one, the Dauphin Electric com pany's proposal could be considered, however, because it sent along a cer tified check. The other, E. Blumen stine's bid is half a dollar less but its proposal could not be considered be cause no certified check or bond ac companied it. The low bidder on construction was G. E. Sheffer, who offered to do the work for $6,997.98: M. H. Baker was low on heating at $485; E. Mather Co.. w.*s low on plumbing at $494.21, ami the Dauphin Electric company's bid for the electrical work was $lB5. The other bids follow: The Bids Construction—W. H. Wagner, $7,- 309.39; E. N.

Balance of Motor and Its Relation to Vibration "We find that to the majority of prospective purchasers, the balance of an automobile motor is a rather vague and misunderstood subject," states C. E. Holn. of Roberts and Hoin, distribu tors of the Haynes, America's First Car. "A baalnced motor by the simplest definition is one that runs perfectly smooth without vibration at any speed. Technically, the perfect balance of a motor Is obtainea when the resultant centrifugal forces are equal and oppo site, and hence equal to zero In anv plane. "Perhaps the \>esi; way to illustrate the effect of unbalanced forces is to tie a weight to a string and swing It around the index finger. As the weight swings around in the path of a circle, the index finger Is putied on bv the weight, and since the weight is con stantly changing its position, the pull on the finger changes and the finger begins to move so as to describe a small circle. "The heavier the weight and the faster It revolves, the more difficult it is to hold the finger stationary. If a second weight Is tied to a string and fastened to the same finger so as to ex tend out in the opposite direction from the first weight when the two arc swung around the finger, it will be found that there will be very little or no pull on the finger If the weights are equal. "The same conditions apply exactly to the automobile motor. If the weights of the arms of the crank shaft, and the big ends of the connecting rods are sucli as they swing around the crank shaft bearings that they produce equal and opposite pulls as in the case of the two weights about the finger, there will be no vibration. "If these weights are not equal, there will be a pull on the crank shaft bear ings, and the crank case holding these bearings will tend to follow the pull of the unbalanced weights in the path of a circle. This pull Is what causes vibration. If it is zero, there is no vibration. "This pull can be made zero in ef fect by the proper balancing of the crank shaft the flywheel, and of the connecting rods before assembly."
