The House adopted the plan and it will go to the Senate. The Speaker took the floor to pre sent the resolution and after outlining it was interrogated by- Mr. Cox, who desired to know if the committee was to report at this session and what its authority would be, the Speaker reply ing that it would act promptly and be purely recommendatory in its powers. Mr. Phillips, Clearfield, also asked some questions. The resolution was as follows: "Whereas there has been no com prehensive revenue legislation enacted in Pennsylvania in the last sixteen years, and the amounts available for the public schools and public roads of the Commonwealth have not been increased In proportion to the Increase In the general State revenue or the growth of the State in population and wealth, and there is now a great pub lic demand for better and more ef ficient schools and for the improve ment and better maintenance of the highways; therefore, be it "Resolved, if the Senate concur, That a joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatives, to be known as the committee on revenue, be and the same is hereby created.

There's a new word begging for ad mission into the English language. Perhaps it really hasn't Mitzi In come yet, but it a on its "l'om-Pom" way and week, or at the farthest next year, it may be understood by everyone. It is Mitzi. It isn't a common word or a common noun yet—could you Imagine Mitzi being common? A Mitzi is some thing small and—get this now so that you can add it to your vocabulary something small and funny, pretty as a forget-me-not and elusive as quick silver. A peculiarity of a Mitzi is that it doesn't take itself seriously. It waives all claims to being a pixie or anything supernatural or anything wonderful even. It lets you talk to it as though it were an ordinary person. "Hello yourself!" it says, pulling a hand from a ragged pocket. "Put it there! How do you like 'Pom-Pom?' " Henry W. Savage will offer Mitzi in "Pom-Pom" at the Orpheum, Saturday, matinee and evening. Two attractions of unusual interest are booked for the Majestic Theater the last three da.vs of this "To Save week.

All of this reve nue, which Is about $1,500,000, now goes to the Commonwealth. It would also provide that In lieu of the return the State would not pay any claims for commissions, fees or mileage ofr county treasurers and mercantile ap praisers. The effect of the bill would be that j the State would get one-fourth of the ' gross income fr<jm this source. The cost of collection is estimated by Auditor General Powell as $250,000 in round numbers, all of which would be borne by counties. Last year the State received the fol lowing revenue from the sources which it is proposed to divide with the coun ties: Retail mercantile. $950,729.98; wholesale mercantile, $349,297.38; bil liards, $140,829.18; brokers, $K9,936.06; auctioneers. $12,228.45; theaters, $62,- 709.40; eating houses, etc., $31,719.02. It kept all of this money. Mr. Burnett is one of the Demo cratic members. During its brief session yesterday the House, in addition to receiving the Baldwin resolution for a revenue-rais ing commission, received a prohibition constitutional amendment from Mr. Smith, Bedford. Entire U-Boat Warfare Problem Is Challenged in Note From Spain Madrid, Feb. 8. Spain, in her reply to Germany's newest declaration of sea terrorism, challenges the entire U-boat policy of the Berlin authori ties. Tl.e government's note rests, basically, upon the same foundations as those President Wilson has urged since the war began international law, respect for neutral rights and preservation of human life. This government's statement, which was handed to the German Ambassa dor yesterday, is a firm and dignified protest against the creation of the new war zone. It declares that Ger many's decision to close completely certain sea routes is outside the legal principles of international life.

The bill for cartage that is going on about us now is a bill possibly equal to ten thou sand million dollars a year," says Secretary Redfield. The business of carrying goods is as old as the hills, but cities with populations of millions, in a country of one hundred million people have no precedent in history. Cutting down the "bill for cartage" has in twenty years developed the motor truck from an idea to a necessity. In 1917 it is estimated that there will be 60,000 more motor trucks made and sold than in 1916. These motor trucks are being absorbed by every line'of busi ness; the transportation of goods is the one thing common to every industry. The express companies have the delivery of goods as their one problem—the big express companies have fleets of hun dreds of motor trucks, the smaller ones find their profits grow ing when they install their first truck. Department stores have become absolutely dependent on motor trucks —a delivery system less efficient would be in adequate. The coal dealer and contractor prospers or fails as his de livery costs compare with his competitors; and the motor truck has been the one effectual answer to his problem. Manufacturers are buying trucks in tremendous quantities to solve the thousand and one hauling problems within their own plants. Business, large and small, has acquired wide motor truck knowledge based on experience. V.-, s . , . j But knowledge has brought a sense of motor truck values, and to-day it is not a question of any motor truck. • The purchaser of a motor truck requires a machine that will do continuous, effective and economical work. t 4 " l A motor truck is a piece of machinery, after all—to keep going at maximum efficiency it requires attention. ' The responsible and successful motor truck manufacturer, assumes the responsibility of service. It pays a prospective buyer to investigate tho service facilities that are at his dis posal. . • THE AUTOCAR COMPANY ARDMORE, PA. FEBRUARY 8, 1917.

ELLWOOD 11.-ACKERLY stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal lubricant and distintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the suf ferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system.
