PURE MILK LAWS
Forty-one Prosecutions Have
Been Ordered by the Dairy
and Food Division
Agents of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture have been busy
throughout the State during the past
week taking samples of milk, cream
and ice cream and as a result forty-two
prosecutions have already been insti
gated where the samples were found
io he below the State standard for
solids and butter fats.
The State laws require that milk
and cream, as served to the consumer,
meets with a required standard for
solids and butter fats, so there ran be
no adulteration or deception. This gen
eral check prevents the skimming of
milk and the addition of water and .!«.••»
not allow the sale of cream that is
partly milk.
The prosecutions made during the
week were in the following counties:

Goodrich Prefer to Sell
Tires on Own Merits
The B. F. Goodrich Co.. who make
Silver-town tires do not deem it neces
sary to give prizes or other induce- 1
ments than quality in order to sell!
their tires. Leading race drivers pur-i
chase Silvertown tires and pay for
them the same as the average car'
owner and when the B. F. Goodrich
< ompany makes a ten thousand dollar
award to a big racing event, it does
so without any restrictions whatever,
regarding the make of tire used
A generous recognition of the se
lection by outright purchase by drivers
of racing cars of the Silvertown twin
cable cord tires for use in contests
under no influence of money consid
eration for so doing has just been an
nounced by the B. F. Goodrich Com
pany. The American Automobile As
sociation. the official association of
•ar owpers of this country has pre
pared rules to govern the determina
tion of the actual champion for the
season of 1916 and will be the sole
arbitrator regarding such award.
The Silvertown cord tire is univer
sally recognized as the tvpe of con
struction insuring best results in speed
contests and is almost universally'
used by racing drivers. There is no
reason why the Goodrich Company
should extend any award for the pur
pose of Inducing the use of the Silver
town twin Cable cord tire and it does
not. but gives outright without a string
ued to it of anv kind whatsoever
*l".of>o divided between the author
itively determined champion the sec
ond and third in order quite irrespect
ively of the make or kind of tire that
may be used by said winners.
The New Cole Eight Has
Many Feats to Its Credit
The Cole "8" has made history in
the field of motor car accomplish
ments.
The Cole Eight was one of the
three cars which, alone, were able to
complete the recent Dixie Highwuv
tour from Chicago to
Miami, Fla., on their own power, and i
it was the official pilot for the entire
trip.
On the two great lookout moun
tains in the country, the one at Chat- .
tanooga. Tenn.. and one at Denver.
Col., the Cole Eight negotiated both
on high without reducing the water
level in the radiator one-half an inch
—a feat unheard of before.
It has raced and defeated the fast
est passenger trains in the United
States, including the Empire State Ex
press and the Black Diamond Ex
press, establishing a new pleasure car
speed record in its brush with the lat
ter for a distance of 107 miles.
The Cole Eight lowered the pas
senger train time between Denver and
Glenwood Springs. Col.—a distance of
320 miles through the heart of the
Rockies. and up grades as steep as
22 , ( ! degrees by more than two hours.
These are only some of the remark
able feats this popular car has ac
complished. The Cole Eight is rep
resented in Harrisburg by Bowman &-1
Company.

Down in Washington. r>. C., Aviator Pe Lloyd Thompson is known as the man who "Played Tag With the Capitol
Dome." While in Washington recently, Thompson selected a moonless night to give the cause of preparedness a
decided boost.
Ascending in his biplane, he circled the Capitol and Government buildings and dropped lighted imitation bombs
on their roors thus illustrating the excellent opportunities open to enemy planes in time of war. To tinlsh Ills exhibition.
' he looped tiie loop directly over the lighted dome of the Capitol.
. Although an aviator first. Mr. Thompson is also an experienced motorist. He used his Chalmers Six-30 touring
i car in reaching the aviation fields and exhibition parks while on tour.
"In m.v opinion, flic high speed motor is the ideal type for the modern car" says Mr. Thompson. "Both in city
driving- and across country work, the 3,100 R. I*. M. Chalmers lies adapted Itself admirably to all conditions I have
never seen its equal a* a hill climber and it is very economical in gasoline consumption, with an average of welt over

CALLING FIREMEN
[Continued From First Page.]
, night, was creditably prompt. From
my home, a block away, and some
what higher. I saw the gathering of
1 the companies that responded, after
I had been awakened by the alarm.
"To have false alarms like this sent
in is to decrease the value of the pro
tectlon for which we pay. Moreover. !
the anxiety and suspense created i
among the nearby residents by a base
less alarm justify the resentment one
' must feel at this sort of contemptible
| mischief. It is for this reason that
the Bellevue Park Association, the
live organization of Bellevue Park
residents, guarantees a reward of $23
for the arrest and conviction of the
person guilty in this instance, and I '
think that we would make conditions
distinctly interesting for the vicious
rascal whom we might actually catch
at this dangerous pastime.
"I suggest that other citizens take
similar action, and inasmuch as each j
such false alarm costs the city a defi
nite sum in material and wear and
tear, to say nothing of the wrong done
to the firemen who serve for nothing,
it would seem quite proper to pro
pose that the cost of several false
alarms be lumped into a reward of
fered for the arrest and conviction of
these dangerous criminals."
Two auto chemical trucks were put
out of service because of accidents
which occurred while answering false
alarms. Following is a list of boxes
pulled during the month and their
locations: No. 721, Eighteenth and
Market streets: 81, Front and Reel's
Lane: 214, Fourteenth and State: 221, 1
Fourth and Market; 48. Twenty-first
and Chestnut; 54, Second and Harris
streets.
Three Alarms This Week
Three of these alarms were sent in
this week. The first one from Box
221 resulted in an accident to the
Friendship truck which will be out of
service for several more days. The
other two were sent in last night.
Firemen throughout the city in com- ,
menting on the calls erltcised their
frequency and protested against be
ing called out at midnight when their
services are not needed.
According to city ordinance, the
penalty upon conviction for sending in
false alarms is a fine of from one to
one hundred dollars, or six months in
jail, or both, at the discretion of the
committing alderman or the Major.

The Telegraph publishes herewith a

treats bridges in the summertime. It
would be possible to do the same with
the subway under Mulberry street at
Front and Second streets. If the city

it would be only a few weeks before
they would be fully as attractive as
are the archways of the kind in Day

Quality First
YOU CAN ALMOST TALK TO HER
—THIS 3400 r. p. m. CHALMERS
They're buying motor cars today as they're hiring
men—on ability.
Blue eyes, brown hair, a rugged jaw, mean something
—but not so much as they used to.
They're'seeking ability. And that is not always
measured in stature, weight and reach.
Likewise in a car. They look her over, learn her wheel
base, note the tire sizes, ask the bore and stroke of the
engine and then —
They make her perform.
They make her hit the trail, they roll her up the stiflfest
hill. They let her out on the straightaway, and they make
her accelerate at slow speeds.
It's the only way to judge a car. And we're partic
ularly glad, because we have in the 8400 r.p.m. Chalmers
a car that answers every human wish.
You can almost talk to this animal. You can lead her
anywhere. We know of no one who his ever called on her
for too much, nor asked of her anything she couldn't deliver.
She's like a young ballplayer who keeps driving 'em
over the right-field fence.
She's there. And the reason is her magnificent 8400
r. p. m. engine. When history in our business is written,
8400 r. p. m. will occupy a thick chapter.
Simply because at the lowest speeds she saves her
energy, turns up only 500 r. p. m. at 10 miles an hour,
and 1000 r. p. m. at 20 miles an hour.
Thus using only 18 per cent ot her power at such
speeds and saving 62 to 80 per cent for winding, hilly
roads, bad turns, and on occasions when a little extra
power gives you possession of the road.
One ride of five miles behind the wheel and you'll own it.
Ask your dealer about Chalmers service inspection
coupons, negotiable at all Chalmers dealers everywhere.
This system is a most important consideration in buying
your car. *
