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.

issued by State Highway Commissioner
Black to put them into shape for any
emergency traffic. More will be em

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

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

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.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRXPH
"SAFETY FIRST"
AUTO BILL IS IN
Carries Jail Sentence and pro
hibits Tampering With Stand
ing Machines
The Safety First automobile regula
tion bill, backed by organized automo
bile owners and urged by a number of
officials of cities, is out of committee
and will be on first reading in tho
House on Monday night. 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.
