est tracts In Montgomery. Chester and
Uacfcawanna counties to the list of
auxiliary forest reserves in Pennsyl
vania. making a dozen such reserves
now under the State supervision while
timber is growing. The reserves were

no reserves of its own.

After More Deer.—Steps to bring a
number of New York deer, that have
been cavsing annoyance by raiding
farms on
Island, and that are wanted for the
State game preserves, will be taken bv
the State game authorities as soon as
the time for catching them is at hand.

<• State to Defend.—The State will rile
an answer and defend the escheat act !
o! 1915. according to plans made a!
the Attorney General's department in
connection with the equity proceed
ings begun by the Union Trust Com
pany and the Columbia National Bank,
of Pittsburgh. The action is under
stood to be an amicable one and will j
raise numerous questions, including 1
unconstitutionality of some sections.
The Auditor General recently began
preparations to enforce the act and
the action will be a test which will
probably be carried to the higher
courts.
To Regulate Jitneys.—Jitney regu
lation is to be given considerable at- I
tention by the Public Service Commis- |
sioners in the next week as the con- !
ditions in various places are revealed I
by complaints. It is likely that the
regulation will take the form of re
quiring identification of cars. The rule
will be general and apply to every per
son. firm or company securing a "jitney
permit.
Would Save Money.—Declaring that ,
there is "a useless waste of costly!
printed matter, especially engraved let- ]
terheads."caused by departments using 1
such stationery for circular and other
purposes, a committee of the Pennsyl
vania State Society, composed of heads j
of departments of the State govern
ment. has recommended changes in
the printing for the Capitol. It is sug
gested that the engraved heads be
used by department chiefs or by mem
hers of permanent commissions and
not be used for circularizing and the
like: that the engraving be uniform
for all departments, and that the State ;
arms be used instead of the Capitol I
building and other designs and that j
copy for the printers be properly!
edited and thereby save the State the '
cost of re-editing when in type.

its native amber color when it comes raw from the

Tires) than pure Rubber could ever be.
That Lightness, Stretch, and CLING-quality is
due, in part, to the absence of the heavy and inert
white substances which, in other Tires, jprovide the
"sandpapery" texture designed to give effective, but
