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.

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.

8-INCH SNOW
HALTS TRAFFIC
[Continued From First Page.]
at 6.30 o'clock this morning when the
trolley wire at Third and Chestnut
streets swapped. 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.. April B.—Nearly six
Inches of snow fell throughout, the
1 Schuylkill Valley up to noon to-day.
in Pennsylvania German communities
it is known as the "onion snow"—the
last of the season—after which the
planting of onions will begin.
Trolley companies had their snow
plows ready for emergencies.
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,

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.

Washington, D. C., April 8. —Ad-
ministration leaders in Congress are \
hopeful that the army increase bill, j
first of the three great national de
fense measures, will enter its final j
stage next week before the joint con- |
ference committee. Indications last |
night were that the only remaining}
sections likely to cause prolonged de- \
bate in the Senate was the one fixing
the peace strength of the regular
army.
The Senate voted on only one
amendment to the bill, adopting with
out rollcall the proposal of Senator
Smith, of Georgia, that enlisted men
in the regular army hereafter be given
opportunity for 73 hours of vocational
education a month during ther active
service in peace times. Civilian in- j
structors will aid the army officers in \
this work.
