HIRED GIRLS ARE SCARC* ARTICLE Reports to the Capitol Show That They Arc in Demand in Rural Districts MEASLES ARE ABROAD Numerous Municipalities Have the Disease and State Is Giving Its Advice hard to obtain in 1 Judging from some of the reports which have been re ceived at the sta tistical bureau of the State Depart ment of Agricul ture. which is mak ing an investigation of wages and con ditions in rural life, hired girls are very hard to obtain in many of the farming communities of Pennsylvania. The in dustrial activity appears to have taken many girls and young women to the cities and towns, as it has taken the boys from the farm, and in some dis tricts good positions with higher wages than have ever been known in the country have been offered with no takers. One report stated tliat there were no hired girls to be had in the whole township and others have indi cated a great desiro for such help be cause the wives and daughters of well to-do farmers with big households and residences would like some assistance. 111 addition there has been a big de mand upon the agencies of t.ho State Employment Bureau for female help, the conditions in some of the cities be ing much as in the country, because Ihe industrial requirements are taking so many girls from domestic service.

Every time the Brakes are put on, to make such Tires grip the road, the relatively hard, unyielding, and comparatively brittle, texture of the Rubber in their Treads causes these Treads to grind away on the pavement, to WEAR OUT fast at the point of contact. The sudden efficiency of their grinding-Traction also tugs' so sharply on the Rubber Adhesive between the layers of Fabric in Tire as There is little "give" to them—just as there is little "slide" to So, they gain Traction at the expense of Mileage.

HOWARD DE HART SENATOR HARDING CHOSEN CHAIRMAN Action Is Considered Reply to Colonel Roosevelt; Plans Be ing Made For Convention Special to the Telegraph Chicago, April 8. Plans for the Republican national convention, which will open in Chicago June 7, were completed here yesterday at a. meet ing of the subcommittee on arrange j ments, with the selection of Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, for tem ' porary chairman. Senator Harding was chosen for the place by a unani mous vote on the first formal ballot after an hour's discussion of various men suggested. Harding made the speech nominating Taft and he is un friendly to Roosevelt. Other convention officers chosen were: Temporary secretary, Lafayette B. Gleason, of New York; chief, clerk, D. Edward Monroe, St. Louis; official reporter, George L. Hart, of Roanoke, Va.; sergeant-at-arms, William F. Stone, of Baltimore: chief assistant sergeant-at-arms, Edwin P. Thayer, of Indianapolis; chief doorkeeper, John J. Hanson, of Baltimore. Yesterday's meeting attracted to the city numerous State committee chair men and other party leaders. Among these there was much informal dis cussion of possible Presidential candi dates and issues. Recent reports that Colonel Roosevelt had Indicated a willingness to accept the Presiden tial nomination of the party formed the basis of several impromptu con ferences and interchanges of views be tween the politicians. Several State leaders said they had been unable to discover that the Roosevelt statement had any marked effect on the situation. Many of the leaders declared what sentiment that had crystallized In their States largely was In favor of Justice Hughes, although Senator Cummins, ex-Senator Burton, Charles W. Fair banks, Senator Sherman and other favorite sons had many supporters. It was the consensus of opinion that iibout 70 per cent, of the delegates in the convention would be uninstructed. The subcommittee adopted a resolu tion declaring? that seats would be re served only for the exact number of delegates provided for in the official call and that States electing double the number of authorized delegates with half a vote each would have to settle the question of who Is entitled to seats before the convention meets. The committee ruled that it would not hear contests from State electing delegates by direct primary and that in these States the delegates certified by the Secretary of State would be placed on the temporary roll without question. This action will, it is be lieved, reduce the number of contests to a minimum. The only contests thus far reported are from Georgia and Louisiana. Secretary Reynolds will open head quarters in Chicago to receive notice of contests about May 10. The sub committee on arrangements will not meet again until a few days before the convention. New York Republicans Favor Root For President Special to the Telegraph New York, April B.—Seventy-four prominent members of the Republican party, including representatives of all have formally declared them selves in favor of the nomination of Ellhu Root for the Presidency. Seven teen of these are delegates to the Re publican national convention. At the meeting of the Republican State committee a test of strength Is expected to be made in behalf of the rival candidacies of Mr. Root, Justice Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt received many as surances that his strength was growing rapidly in the ranks of (he Republican party, and sentiment in bis favor was said to be especially strong in Penn sylvania. West Virginia and on the Pacific const. Robert Macon last night made the following statement: "Having been asked by many friends to state publicly which Presidential candidate 1 favor for nomination by the Republican party T desire to say that ray lirst choice is Elihu Root, my second choice, Theodore Roosevelt. "I have the greatest admiration and personal esteem for them both, born of many years of close Intimacy and I believe that the election of either one of them by the Republican party, upon a declaration of American principles and ideals such as has been recently made by them both will bring home to the national consciousness a true appreciation of the country's interna tional obligations and responsibilities in the performance of which we have signally failed of late." A Million a Month For Packard Motor Trucks "A million In a month" is the an nouncement made by the Packard Motor Car Company, of Detroit, in publishing the result of its domes tic motor truck business for March. On Saturday morning, April 1, accord ing to the announcement, orders call ing for trucks to the value of $1,000,- 529.75 showed the total truck busi ness for the previous month. This is a record hitherto unapproached in CATERERS / L\ I fIR I '■' taTil n \ :uu ' Dinners.

"The splendid volume of business our company enjoyed in March is all the more remarkable since it repre sents, strictly and absolutely, domestic orders only," says C. R. Norton, truck sales manager of the Packard Com pany. "Not a single foreign order Is included in the total. And another in teresting feature is that more than 99 per cent, of the amount was for truck chassis; a majority of the buy ers ordered bodies built by outside con cerns. "There was a large number of buy ers who specified electrical starting anil lighting equipment, however, de monstrating the growing favor of tima and labor-saving equipment with pro* gressive businessmen. "The March showing of the Park ard Company proves that we are en tering now into the epoch-making period of the truck industry. Tha demand for commercial vehicles is stronger now than ever before and I am confident that our business for tha past month is only the forerunner of an even greater demand to come. In fact, April already looks like another record-breaker In our truck depart-, ment." 11
