TO LEAD DEFENSE FIGHT Preparedness Speech by Rep resentative Mann Indicates Tliis Course special to the Telegraph Washington, D. C.. Jan. 26. Re-pub- | llcan leadership In the light for a na tional defense program in the House j of Representatives was clearly indicat ed by the speech from Congressman juann, the Republican leader, declaring Hirongly for legislation U> provide the ' country with an adequate army and I navy. Mr. Mann's speech was given addi- < tlonal importance and significance by ! his frank admission that he had here- ' tofore been known as a small army I and navy man. He declared that con jlitions produced by the war in Europe i.iul completely changed his attitude mid he proclaimed his intention of doing everything possible to promote the cause of preparedness. Mr. Mann was applauded vigorously ! by the Republicans, but verv little by the Democrats. it was apparent that the declara tions of the Republican leader were the result of serious consideration and probably of conferences with his col- 1 leagues. Whether this conclusion was ] correct or not the Democrats' regarded i his appearance as a champion of de fense legislation as; indicating a desire If Sive the Republicans leadership in the light and to make their strength ef fective in the preparation of the de- I fense hills. Nowhere did Mr. Mann commit him self to support the President's pro gram.

' WEDNESDAY EVENING, SPACE FOR AUTO SHOW ALLOTTED Sacrifices Made by Various Dealers in Order to Make Room For Others The largest and most enthusiastic gathering of automobile and accessory dealers that has ever gathered in Har risburg met last evening at the Tele graph office to apportion the floor space for the big automobile show that Is to be held in the Emerson-Brantingham building, February 19 to 26. The room at the Plaza where the meeting was to have been held was not large enough to accommodate the Increasing num ber of dealers who propose to exhibit their cars and accessories. Many ap plicants were voted in as members, but the big problem of tile evening was to find space sufficient to meet the de mands of those who wish to exhibit. Although there is over 17,000 feet available for exhibit purposes, it was found necessary to cut down each one's allotment 20 per cent, in order to provide space for those who were pres ent. but this does not make allowance for the out-of-town applicants who will most likely wish to exhibit. There are several local men who have not as yet been seen and when it comes to the final apportionment it may be necessary for some to yield a part of their space in order to make room for another. On a crowded street car there is "always room for one more," but this does not apply to automobiles in a show, because not only must the big car have room to stand, but the admiring throng must have room to get around for inspection in order to compare the various points of superi ority claimed by the loquacious sales men. There has been talk for a num ber of years about the advisability of having a large convention hall, but the new Emerson-Brantingham building was thought ample for all present de mands, but even that is now taxed to its capacity. Practically every one of the dealers in Harrisburg has indicated his inten tion of being represented, which would include the country's leading makes and most widely advertised. The fol lowing cars will most likely comprise the exhibit: Bell, Briscoe, Buick, Cadillac, Case, Chalmers. Chandler, Chevrolet, Cole, Crow-Elkhart, De troit-Electric, Dort. Dodge. Empire, Bnger, Ford, Franklin, Glide, Grant, Herff-Brooks, Hudson, Hupmobile, Inter-State. Jackson, Jeffery. King, Maxwell, Metz, Moon. National, Olds mobile, Overland. Packard. Paige. Pullman, Regal. Reo, Saxon, Stanley, Scripps-Booth and Studebaker. From out of town there is the Mercer, White and others expected. The trucks will be the Autocar. Buick, Vim, White, Ward Electric, Dart. Federal, Brock way, Garford, Republic, Reo, Jeffery and Packard. The accessory exhibits will include the Front-Market Motor Supply, City Auto Suply Company, Sterling Auto Tire Company, Exide Batteries, Willard Batteries, the Bet tern Air Company, Keystone Grease and others who hope to be accom modated when the figures and plans tyave been revised. Another meeting will be held Thurs day evening to perfect the details. Protestants and Catholics Will Build Joint Chapel Altoona. Pa..

Hodcarriers Get More Pay, Say Railroad Men Two of the chief points which the railroad labor union leaders are going to make if the members of their unions vote approval of their proposal to make an eight-hour demand on the 443 railroads of this country, were learned yesterday from persons in touch with these leaders. These are: 1. That the earnings of railroad workers per hour and not per day fur nish the true index of their compen sation for comparison with other trades, and that on this basis they would be found considerably below the compensation in those trades witn which such comparison should be made. Hodcarriers, they say, get more pay, in some instances. 2. That If it had not been for finan cial mismanagement in the last ten years and the issuance of securities for which no vales were received, the net earnings of the railroads now, with business picking up fast, would be sufficient to pay their employes on an eight-hour basis and have vast sums left over to put Into improvements. In reply to eight-hour day propa ganda the railroad managers point out that the hours of work of the railroad men do not mean continuous labor, such as is represented by the eight hours' work of the mason or brick layer. Taking time on a train as the continuous labor of these men, sched ules of the railroads will show, they insist, about six hours as an average. Time on duty should not be taken as a basis, they insist, for fixing the hourly rate of compensation, if It Is to be compared with the hourly rate of the men in other skilled trades.

W. 11. 8011, private secretary to Governor Brum baugh, and a vice-president of the Philadelphia Real Estate Board, had been scheduled to speak, too, but a business engagement with the Gover nor prevented. "Service" the Keynote Mr. Ingersoll talked on the real es tate subject generally with especial reference to the relation of the real estate dealer to his client. "Service" Was l lie keynote of his talk. The real estate man to-day, he deflared, is not only conducting his business in the way that will benefit him alone but he is trying to do his share toward helping his fellow-man. "Something, too, for the other fellow," is the way Mr. Ingersoll put it. Mr. Ingersoll touched briefly upon the city planning movement and of the important relation to the real estate man and the real estate board bears to it. Real estate men are demonstrat ing this by laying out the suburban plots In such a way as to allow more space for the children, more room for the resident to stretch his legs, he ex plained.

He enthused about the cleanliness of the city's streets and of the beauties of the river front.

Bownipn and Building Inspector James H. Grove to recodify I the city building regulations. The es tablishment of a city limit "fire dis trict" is only one of the needs that has been long desired: another essential the contractors contend, is the need of a new law that will carry stiff enough penalties to require a strict obedience. In many instances builders and con tractors snicker in their sleeves at the apparent failure of building In spector Grove to obtain obedience to the present regulations in house con struction. They refer with more or less sarcasm to the unique Instance of the York street apartment house.

On the other hand it is a pleasure for druggists to sell a medi cine when customers come in after ward and tell how much good it has done them. And that is why druggists like to sell and recommend Solvax. the great kidney remedy. Ever since we first introduced Solvax drug clerks have been so busy selling it that, it is sometimes hard to keep a sufficient stock on hand. Moreover, Solvax is always sold on a positive guarantee of relief to the kidney sufferer or money back. This may seem rash, but users have said so many good words in favor of Solvax that it is not expected that many packages will be returned. This shows great faith in Solvax. It really is a most unusual medicine be cause it overcomes the worst cases of kidney complaints by removing the cause. It goes straight to the seat of the trouble. It soaks right in and cleans out the kidneys and makes them pass off all the uric acid and poi sonous waste matter that lodges in the joints and muscles, causing rheumatic pains; soothes and heals the bladder and quickly ends all such troubles. Nothing is more uncomfortable or hurts a person's perfect enjoyment of life more than troublesome kidneys I and their attending evils. Use Solvax ■ and begin to get your full measure of benefit out of life. Sold by H. C. Ken nedy and other leading druggists in i this vicinity.
