(iOODRiCH OPENS SERVICE STATION Big Tire Company Interests Lo cally Demand Sub-branch to Facilitate Service Jk is Jk HJI~ WILLIAM F. MOWER On April I the B. F. Goodrich Com pany, the big Akron, Ohio, rubber manufacturers, opened a full-fledged tir£ service station at 1412 North Third street, this city. Announcement of the opening of this tire depot was made in our columns under dale of April 4. In opening the Harrisburg depot the Goodrich company adds one more link to their almost endless chain of service stations. This is along the lines of their well laid policy estab lished in 1910, which makes it possible for the automobile dealers, garages nnd accessory houses to extend tho maximum service to their customers. Hereafter automobile owners can se cure Goodrich tires from their dealers with the least possible delay. This depot, or substation, will carry b big slock of Goodrich tires and ac cessories at all times. It is well equipped in every way to meet the de mands of the dealers, not only in Har risburg, but also in the surrounding territory. !■ J. R. SAUTE R J. R. Sauter, the official sales rep resentative in this territory, has been c onnected with the Goodrich company for the past ten pr twelve years and is known not. only locally, but through out the extensive territory which he covers. The Harrisburg depot will be directly in charge of William F. Mower, who lias had several years' experience in the service department of the Good rich company, and is well qualified to carry on the duties of manager in charge of this Important post. Paige Breaks March Production Record The month of March sliowed the best record for manufacture and shipment of oars in the history of the Paige-De troit Motor Car Company. The fact that during this month more Paige cars were produced than at any other time is significant in view of the rapid development and growth of this com pany and the fact that in total volume of business it lias made some phenome nal strides toward the top. The Paige is about six years old and its entire production for its first year was something like 800 cars. That would now be considered a fair pro duction for oni> month. Popular de mand and production facilities increas ed to 175 cars a day are the explana tion. B=. ' -a Women at War! We d 6 not mean the Amazons, the dynamiters, nor the militants. But those good women so dear to our hearts who make our homes for us. These wholesome folks have a treaty with cleanliness that keeps them ever at war against dirt and uncleanliness in all its forms. Soap, if you work hard enough with it, will make things clean, but it won't kill germs! Borax mixed in proportion with soap will make the soap work better and your work easier. Also borax kills germs. So that by using borax soap chips you get things clean with less work than by the old methods and you also get them antiseptic. 25c worth of "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips" will give you more clean liness with less work than 50c worth bar soap or washing powders.

Hundreds of men on their way to work in plants in various parts of the city were late because of the delay and many of them walked through the blinding snow. Schedules were resumed with cars running late on some of Ihe suburban routes. The railroads had little trouble with trains i running east and west In this State, i but in other sections traffic was de ! layed because of the heavy snow. Ac cording to te forecast, by E. R. De main, in the local office of the United States Weather Bureau, the snow will continue until this evening and will then probably turn to rain, with cloudy weather to-morrow. Little change is expected in temperature, unless the storm, now centering in the South Atlantic States, moves northward, which will cause a rise in temperature. At 8 o'clock this morning six inches of snow had fallen, the storm con tinuing during the day. The heaviest snowfall recorded for April was in 1894. when eighteen inches fell on April 10 and 11. The snow to-day was the heaviest in recent years and was general over this section of the country. West of the Mississippi big drops in tempera ture are recorded, but the mercury is expected to hover near freezing here. J. L. Leonard, aged 72 years, of 409 Boas street, a machinist, at the Elliott- Fisher Company plant, fell on the pavement In Market street this morn ing while on his way to work and fractured his right arm above the elbow. No other accidents were re ported. The river will fall slowly and a stage of 8.2 feet is expected to-morrow morning. The anachronistic appearance of the snowman last night and this morning I brought, sadness and gloom upon many of the little feathered dwellers jof the air who had begun to make I their appearance, and chilly, indeed, j is the reception that has been accord ed them. The poor little robins arc completely nonplussed; certainly they had not bargained on being thus re ceived, and it will be only through the kindness of their big friends that they will survive the temporary return of winter. Storm Warnings Issued Along Atlantic Coast By Associated Press Washington. D. C., April B.—-Snow storms centering over the Ohio Valley and Cape Hatteras were moving east and north to-day and promised to cover almost the whole region east of the Mississippi and north of the Gulf States. Temperatures had dropped be low seasonal averages in most of that territory, but no extreme cold was re ported. The Cape Hatteras storm was severe enough to cause storm warnings to be sent from Delaware Breakwater to Boston. Storm Covers F.nst Cincinnati. Ohio, April B.—Southern Ohio experienced its heaviest April snowfall in years last night and early to-day. Two and one-half inches of snow fell here up to 8 a. in. to-day. Reading, Pa..

Philadelphia, April B.—As much as six inches of snow fell in many parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey to day, the Weather Bureau in this city reporting the storm as a record breaker for this time of year. In Philadelphia np to 10 a. in. there was a fall of three inches, and two inches of snov covered much of Delaware. The snow is still coming down thickly, but is expected to turn lo rain. Simplicity in Motor Car Is Required For Success "The simple life is not so much in demand to-day as is the simple auto mobile," said G. W. Smith, chief en gineer of the Thomas B. Jeffery Com pany in an interview yesterday. "The experienced buyer wants simplicity in his automobile because he knows that it means 'stand-up' quality, freedom from trouble, and low maintenance cost." The simplicity of chassis design which reaches its height in the new Jeffery Six, is alone sufficient to ac count for the instantaneous success of this car. It literally sold itself in many cases on the strength of Its chassis alone, according to Mr. Smith. Even its spectacular performance, due to the Jeffery principle of providing great power at the speeds used most had very little to do with sales in a good many cases. "Over a dozen improvements have so simplified the Jeffery chassis that the most skillful engineers," said Mr. Smith, "admit that the car Is the simplest on the market. This year's improvements are not alone respon sible for the attainment of the sim plicity ideal. We have worked at the design of this chassis for three years, and each year we made a number of Improvements inspired and ratified by our experience with carefully test ed models." "Putting the emergency brake on the rear of the transmission is one of : our typical improvements. It does away with a set of levers and connect ing rods without in any way affecting the power of the motor. By using a peculiarly efficient drive we have in creased the strength and durability of the chassis at the same time that we made it simpler and free from trouble. "To the layman changes of this sort often do not mean much," continued Mr. Smith," but to the experienced driver they mean an enormous saving in time and money. They save him from having to 'tighten up' his car : constantly, they guard against trouble and the necessity for frequent repairs i and they are the best possible insur ance against the too frequently heavy cost of owning a car." Simplicity is the only way of giv ins; a maximum usable value per Uol lar of price. COMPANY D WILL FILL ITS RANKS Organization Is Ready to Keep Up Its Standing and the City's Prestige Company D of the Eighth Regiment Infantry, National Guards of Penn sylvania, is the continuation as an organization of Company A, One Hun dred and Twenty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in the Clvtl War; of the First City Zou aves, Harrisburg's leading military company for many years, and the City Grays. This company, therefore, has a record of fifty-five years of service, extending from April 15, 1861, to the present day. In that time it has been through much active service, but al ways of the highest and most honor able character, including United States service in the Snanish War from May 12, 1898, to March 7, 1599, as Com pany D, Eighth Pennsylvania Volun teer Infantry. The company is now in the Fourth Brigade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. Now, at a time when military pre paredness is in everyone's mind, and while the problem of increasing the army, and especially the infantry branch, is a matter of daily discussion, it seems proper that the public should be informed of the work of prepared ness which is going on in this com mand and should know of the oppor tunities offered to young men (o fit themselves with that training and mili tary education to which people are giving so much thought at present and which is so essential to the safety of the country. Harrisburg enjoys a reputation of being a military town, containing three companies—the Governor's Troop of cavalry. Companies D and I of the Eighth Regiment, and also the Eighth Regiment headquarters. The equipment of a full company is always on hand and is of much ! greater magnitude than the public I realizes. The equipment known as fed eral property for 65 men is as follows: Sixty-five overcoats, 65 rifles, the mu sicians and first sergeant, carrying pis tols; 65 web belts, bayonets and bayo net scabbards, ollve-drab woolen uni forms. khaki uniforms, with an addi tional pair of trousers, or breeches, to ■ each uniform; compaign hats with j blue cords; woolen blankets; 130 pairs j of leggings; ponchos, haversacks, can- ! teens, tincups, sets of knives, forks and spoons, mess pans, leather belts and cartridge belts, two company flags i and two bugles. Besides this equipment there is the | State property of 65 blue uniforms and the camp equipment of 130 shel ter tent halves, with poles, pins and ropes, the mess tent, cook tent, field i range and all necessary camping uten sils and chests for additional property. ! The signal code, so important, is J operated by the company musicians. Company D is prepared to move at • short notice, under the efficient leader- i ship of Captain J. J. Hart man, a vet eran of the Spanish-American War, with twenty-five years' service with the National Guard. The company has led the Eighth Regiment for some , lime past. The State inspection of i Company D will be held on Tuesday, April 11, to which the public is invited. The recruiting committee of Com pany D Issues this statement to pros- ' pective candidates for membership: j For admission to membership in the company no entrance fee or dues arc required, these being unnecessary, as the State furnishes all equipment and uniforms for the members. The company has at the armory a parlor, free library, pool table, basket ball, indoor baseball, rifle range and numerous other games, which are free to all of the company's members. If at any time you desire to become a member of the company, present yourself before or after drill (which is held regular at the armory. Second and Forster streets, every Tuesday evening) to any of the officers or mem bers of the recruiling committee. Senate Adopts Scheme to Educate Soldiers Xfecial to the Teletrafh Washington, D.
