14 Ten Men's Weight The HUDSON Light Six weighs 2,870 pounds, ready for the road. Sixes used to average about 4,500 pounds. The saving is ten men's weight. The saving in upkeep, tire wear and fuel is at least 50 per cent. That's why the HUDSON brought Light Sixes into vogue. It proved that lightness could be com bined with strength. Every pound removed was a crudity. Better materials and better designing saved you that ten men's weight. And Howard E. Coffin, our famous designer, did it. Still the Lightest Now Light Sixes dominate the class car field. And the HUDSON—the original—dominates Light Sixes. That is because we created the type. And our whole engineering corps has worked for four years on this model. The result shows in a hundred refine ments. It is because the HUDSON is still the lightest Light Six which seats seven. Most of its rivals weigh 400 to 600 pounds more. That also proves our ultra-refinement. 1 lien this HL DSOX has been proved out bv more than 10,000 owners. Half of them bought our first model, and they have run the cars for two sea sons. 1 liese 10,000 owners have probably driven 25 million miles. So the HUDSON' is known to be right. Not a fault has developed. Any of these owners, here or elsewhere, will pronounce this the ideal car. Others may also be right. No mistakes may de velop. But this is the one Light Six which lias amply proved itself right. Those are the reasons why men who know are bound to choose the HUDSON But another attrac tion is the perfect HUDSON service. We will tell you about it when you come to see the car. The rush season is upon us. HUDSON MOTOR CAR CO., Detroit. Mich. I\A T rVTT ¥ East End Mulberry • VY • Street Bridge Harrisburg Penna.

GiEUR VETOES IWM DILI Believes Claims Should Be Ad justed by State Board of Public Accounts i Announcement was made at the Ex- I ecutive Department to-day that Gov ernor Brumbaugh had vetoed on April | I .'j l ? McCaig House bill, appropriating , J46,040.80 for the payment of the cost or advertising constitutional amend- | ments during three years beginning I June 1, 1912. This bill was intended j to lake care of the difference between bills and reductions made by the ! Auditor General ana has been a storm center from the tinit :t was introduced. : In his veto the Go t. nor says: "This bill purports to adjust and i settle and pay certain claims against i the Commonwealth on a basis therein fixed. The bill mal.es an appropriation of a definite sum with which to con ■ elude the transaction. lam informed ■ by the Auditor General that these j claims, if paid on the basis directed by i | this _ bill, will aggregate the sum of: j 191,760.G0. As only the sum of I i $46,040.80 is in this bill appropriated j for that purpose, the payment directed ( j by the bill is incapable of accomplish- I ment. In other words, the Auditor ! | General is directed by the bill to per- I ; form an impossibility. The fact of ! ! this discrepancy between the amount ; required to pay these claims and the ! amount herein appropriated appears to have arisen because of a misunder- , i standing between the claimants and ' ; the statements given by the office of I the Auditor General as to the amount ' j required to pay these claims. Each ' ! party in interest appears to have acted ; iin good faith. The one had in mind i I the amount required to settle the I | claims for 1913 and 1914; the other! i had in mind the amount required to ! j settle these claims for 1912, 1913 and j i 1914. as the provisions of) the bill j I direct. While 1 do not in any manner I I intend to approve or interfere with i I the method of adjustment and pav- ' I ment of claims under the jurisdiction l ! of the Department of the Auditor Gen- ! ; eral. neither do I intend by my dis- ! approval of this bill to be understood ' . as having disapproved these claims. In , other words. 1 have no intention of be- j nig in any way judged as having given ' any opinion concerning them. By sub- 1 I mission of these claims at once to the ! ) Board of Public Accounts the end de- i ! sired by the claimants may be speedilv I attained " Another Bill Vetoed l'lie Governor also vetoed the House j bill validating certain sales of real estate heretofore made by guardians, i administrators and executors by decree I of the orphans' court. On this the Governor says: -This bill has a clear I defect in that it attempts to validate j sales made by guardians, adminis- ! trators and executors under the decree j | of the orphans' court regardless of the fact that the orphans' court may | not have had jurisdiction over the 1 matter. If the orphans' court did not ; have jurisdiction, it is questionable j whether the Legislature could validate ! such sales." Two Hills Signed j Governor Brumbaugh has approved the bill granting to boroughs and in : corporated towns the right of eminent j | domain to take land dedicated to public I use but no longer emploved for the purpose for which granted and lands I | where title is defective for "the erec tion of a town hall, hosehouse, lockup and other buildings and works as are necessary for public municipal pur | poses." The Governor has also approved the bill confirming all deeds and convey ances of lands under wills provided j copies of wills are filed.

Handcuff Secrets Nor Stonepile Didn't Bother Boy on His Train Ride When Deputy Sheriff William Hoff man took youthful Clarence Ross to Glen Mills house of refuge yesterday, the officer couldn't help but observe the air of suppressed excitement with which the boy watched all that went on In the coach. His eyes glistened as he sat back and gazed at the scenery slipping by. V The deputy tried to get the secret of the boy'rf ability to pick handcuff locks —his proficiency has given the police much worry—but he prorhptly declined to tell. Hints that the "stone pile" problem might be eliminated from his curriculum at the Mills prov ed uneffectlve. "I'd rather try the stonepile." said Clarence. Just before Philadelphia was reach ed the deputy curiously asked as to the cause of his prisoner's excite ment. "Why," said the boy frankly, "Ah'm nearly sixteen —but this Is mah first ride In a railroad train!" Then the train rolled Into Broad street station.
