RECRUITING IS NOW STIMULATED National Guard Officers - En couraged by State Officials to Fill Up Command? Officers of the National Guard units throughout the state are making ef forts to recruit their commands to the highest peace strength possible under the equipment available by the state gov&nment and some of them have been able to not only fill their com mands""but to establish reserve lists of men on whom they can call in the event of the Guard being ordered into active service and being directed to go to war Strength. While no orders have been issued for filling of the Guard to the limit allowed in times of peace, recruiting has been encouraged by the officers and equipment furnished as far as possible. Some of the organ izations returned to the state from the border tip to their limits and have waiting lists. The majority, however, are not so well provided with men. . Many of the officers have taken pains ever since tliey came back from 101 Paso to get lines on men so that if a new call came they would not be handicapped by shortage as was the case in the mobilization last June. The National Guard is well beyond the 12.5Q0 minimum which it is re quired to maintain, but in the event of war it would have to raise the strength of the division to 24,500. The equip ment for the Guard is furnished by the United States government. Details of location of mobilization or recruit camps in tho event of a call to activa service will depend upon gov ernment orders and weather con ditions. Spring work in preparation of Mount Gretna has been started.

More will be em ployed as rapidly as conditions permit, as there are a number of sections of tho state where the frost has not yet come out of the ground sufficiently to allow such repair work as is required. The rush orders sent to tho division engineers and the county road superin. tendents cyilled upon them to make every effort to fit the roads for travel, especially In vicinity of market towns and points where demands of traffic might turn out to be heavy. The men who are carried on the department lists were quickly mobilized anil work was started in shori. order. In other districts where work is not yet pos sible the plans were outlined and everything made ready for seasonable weather. Contracts for materials and supplies have all been placed and the hauling of road materials is in progress in every county where it is possible. Im mense quantities of material will be assembled this spring and summer for the repair of highways so that there will bo no shortage if emergency arises.

Office, 1 North Third Yards, Tenth and State GOVERNOR MAKES POLICY CHANGES Approves Bills Vetoed Last Ses sion and Vetoes Measure Frequently Enacted Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh, In announcing his approval of the bill to create a State Board of Optometrieal Examination and Licensure, issued a statement In which he said that tho bill did not contain the matters to which he objected when he vetoed a similar measure In 1915. The proposed board is to bo composed of seven men to be named by the Governor before July 1 next, and after January 1 next it will not be lawful for any person In the state to engage in the practice of optometry or attempt to determine by an examination of the eye the kind of glasses needed by any person with out a state license. Efforts have been made by optometrists for a dozen years to secure a state examination and licensure system. In approving the bill the Governor said that he Is not unmindful of the veto by him of a bill with the same object last session, and says that while he is still of the opinion then set forth the bill this year "has been so drawn as to remove soma of the cardinal ob jections to the bill." The Governor also says: "In 28 states the practice of optometry is now regulated by a similar law. The uniform tendency is that the law operates beneficially. The controlling motive in the present ap proval of this act Is my desire to drive the fakirs and scoundrels who now prey upon an unsuspecting people from the commonwealth. I express the hope that in the next session of the Assembly the qualifications for "admis sion to the study of optometry may be placed upon a higher educational basis and that tlie courses of study leading to a license may be made dignified, thorough and adequate to the power given by the Assembly to these optome trists." Tlirre Hills Smitten Governor Brumbaugh refused to ap prove the Kline Senate bill designed to repeal the act of 1915 providing that the dockets of justices and aldermen should be filed with prothonotaries of courts of their counties at the con clusion of their terms and be open to public Inspection as public records, in his veto message the Governor says: "Since these dockets contain matters of great value, especially to the poor people who are obliged to be in official contact with the minor Judiciary they ought to be preserved and made ac cessible. Many concrete cases have arisen under the operation of this law that prove its merits. All judicial rec ords should be public records. All oth ers are so. These should remain so." The Governor said In vetoing the Kline Senate bill providing that infor mations in non-support and desertion cases in Allegheny county may be made before aldermen or justices as well as before the county court, that i the court record shows that these cases are now economically and expe ditiously handled and that more ad justments of family differences have been secured under the present act than under the old system which it Is proposed to restore. To enact the law he says would be a backward step. Slggln* l.oses The Siggins House bill making an appropriation for maintenance of roads in the Cornplanter Indian reservation in AVarren county was vetoed by the Governor on the ground that it Is un constitutional. The Governor signed a similar bill last session. In his veto the Governor says that the bill is in direct conflict with the constitution forbidding local o r special laws and that if the roads are part of the State highway they will be cared for by the department In charge. If they are not State highways, he says, their unkeep is properly a charge upon the local authorities. The bill is declared contrary to sound public policy. The Governor, however, approved the Siggins bill making an appropriation of S6OO to the county school superin tendent of Warren county to be dis bursed by him "in such manner as shall best promote the cause of edu cation among the Cornplanter Indians" in Warren county. Other bills signed included: Amending borough code so that bur gesses may succeed themselves. Authorizing companies Incorporated in other states for manufacturing to bacco and artificial silk to hold real estate in Pennsylvania. Giving consent of the State to the acquisition of land by the United States government for the proposed enlarge ment of the Frankford arsenal, Phila delphia. Permitting companies Incorporated In other states to manufacture coal tar and its products and asphalt and its products to hold real estate in Penn sylvania. Authorizing W. H. Heard, of Dela ware county, to sue the state for in juries alleged to have been sustained at Valley Forge Park. Providing that salaries of Allegheny county probation officers shall be fixed by county salary board. The arsenal bill was that presented by Mr. Dunn, "Philadelphia. Elgin Six Production Records Are Broken When Christopher Columbus came to America he made 'the greatest 'sail' on record." Likewise the Elgin Motor Car Cor poration of Chicago claims that the Elgin Six is having "the greatest 'sale' on record," in comparision with the sales of other companies during a like period in their early history. Sales Manager G. Vernon Beck, of the Elgin company, states that addi tional factory space, near completion, will permit tho building of thirty cars a day. The factory now is rushed every minute by the long list of orders await ing shipment. More than 7,000 Elgin Sixes already liave been sold for delivery between the present date and August 30, 1917. Mr. Beck reports that the company's business is growing tremendously and that they .are receiving a great inflow of new dealers' applications, both from America and abroad. As a result, it has been decided to erect several additions to the factory, in order to permit the building of from 20,000 to 2Fi,000 cars after the original year's allotment of 7,500 is completed. When it is remembered that pro duction of the Elgin Six was started only last April, the showing the com pany already has made is remark able, and indicates that the Elgin peo ple are well on the road towards be coming one of the largest motor car concerns in America. COW GIVES 10,500 POUNDS OF MILK IN YEAR Easton, Md., March 31.

The bill carries jail sentences for violations and prevents issuance of any special li censes to any person who has a dis qualification such as a lost arm or leg. The bill was presented by Rep resentative W. W. Mearkle, of Pitts burgh, and replaces one offered earlier in the session. It would prevent any incapacitated person from running even a specially constructed car. Any one violating this section is liable to a fine of SIOO to S3OO or thirty days and be disqualified from ever getting a li cense. The incapacitated persons are defined as those who have lost a hand, a foot or who can not distinguish ob jects when wearing glasses at a dis tance of 150 feet or who has less than 25 per cent, of normal visage or who has less than 2 per cent, of normal hearing. No person under eighteen years of ago may operate a. motor vehicle. Persons while intoxi cated or taking _ part in any race of speed contest for a prize or a bet on any public highway or attempting to make a speed record is to be fined and given a jail sentence, if the court so determines. It is also forbidden to pass trolley oars on the side where passengers are boarding or alighting; that no one may "hang on" a motor vehicle with specific prohibition of persons with roller skates; that no one may blow a horn, tamper with levers, tamper with or deface a motor vehicle standing on any highway. The suggestion of Chief Connell, of the Philadelphia Highway Bureau, that 75 per cent, of the motor license fees collected in Philadelphia by the State Department be remitted to that city for maintenance of streets, has aroused considerable interest here. On a basis of 55.000 licenses issued annually to motor vehicle owners in Philadelphia, and on an average of sls each, that city would collect approxi mately $393,750 in rebates, if Chief Connell's suggestion took the form of legislation. A bill, sponsored by Representative Conner, of Philadelphia, providing that one-half of all registration and license fees collected by the State from Philadelphia motor vehicle owners shall be returned to that city, is now pending in the Legislature, having only recently been referred to the House Public Roads and Highways Committee.

New Way to Remove Hairs Creates Sensation (Actually Takes Out the Roots) What beauty specialists regard as one-of the most important discoveries in recent years is the phelactine method of removing superfluous hair. Its great advantage, of course, lies in the fact that it actually removes the hair roots. It does this easily, instantly, harmless ly. Sufferers from the affliction named need no longer despair. The actual hair-roots come out before your very eyes, leaving the skin as smooth and hairless as a babe's. Because it offers such complete re lief, a stick of phelactine is the most inexpensive thing a woman can buy for the removal of hairy growths. For the same reason druggists do not hesitate to sell it under a money-back guaran tee. You can use it with entire safety; it is so harmless one could even' eat it without any ill effect.—Advertisement. MARCH 31, 1917.
