"Even should your and my pur chases, of necessity be a wee bit less, the enormous buying which the gov ernment will be doing with fthe tax money will make up for that. And so our industries will run at top speed—money will keep moving in a circle and prosperity will be king.

Let us all talk 'normal buying and selling' wherever we go -- and because actions speak louder than words, let us practice normal buying.

Fred Chadwick, canny Cana dian from Hamilton, Ont., worked out a method of his own to deter mine which of the various cars he had under consideration enjoyed the greatest favor among Detroit* auto mpbilists. Bringing his son. F. J. Chadwick. with him to make doubly sure of his check, he came to Detroit to make a personal count of the automobiles that passed back and forth on Wood ward avenue. He took a position on the west side of the avenue at State street, while his son stood on the opposite corner. For two hours on three afternoons they checked up the cars. Thousands of Detroit motorists, without knowing anything about it themselves, thus provided for the Chadwicks a "vote" on car popular ity, and this unusual vote revealed, it afterwards was established, that the Maxwell proved itself to be not only the most popular car in Detroit in its price class but considerably more popular among owners here than two cars selling for slightly more. By actual count the two Canadians established that more Maxwells pass ed in Woodward avenue than any other care made save one, that be ing a car which sells for considerably less than the Maxwell. '*l know that Woodward avenue and State street is one <jf the busiest traffic corners in the world, and I based my contemplated investment on whatever an actual count of cars at that corner might show me," Chadwick wrote the Maxwell com pany afterward. "The double count convinced me as nothing else could have done that if in Detroit, the Max well is so favored among buyers, it was the car for me to take on for the Canadian territory. Chadwick. it is announced, now is the Maxwell distributor for Hamil ton and the adjacent territory. Fisk Company Employes Buy Liberty Bonds As proof that the manufacturers of to-day are fully alive to the ser iousness of the present national cri sis, comes news of the recent activi ties of the Fisk Rubber Company of Chicopee Falls in behalf of the Lib erty Loan issue . This public-spirited concern im mediately upon announcement that the Liberty Bonds would be floated, proposed a partial payment and in stalment plan whereby its employes would be enabled to participate. It agreed to purchase bonds in any sum named on behalf of its employes, permitting them to make reimburse ment upon either one of two plans. The first plan was made available to salaried employes, the alternative plan applied to those on the weekly payroll. In both cases the payments are distributed over a period of nearly one year. For instance, an employe wishing to buy a SSO bond would make payment o£ $1 per week until paid up. Arrangements have been made whereby all payments may be refunded in case an employe through illness or change of employ ment becomes unable to continue until the bond is fully paid up. Vp to this time $85,000 worth of bonds in denominations from SSO to SI,OOO have been subscribed by the employes of the Fisk Rubber Com pany. Nearly 500 individuals are participating in this amount. The Fish Company was among the first of Xew England's industrials to show this commendable interest in the country's welfare.

W. Shank, Harroun dis tributor, who has just returned from a flying visit to Detroit. A thorough test of the Harroun ear, and an Inspection of the new Harroun plants at Wayne, Detroit's western suburb, In company with the director of merchandising, John J. I'lath, were events of the visit. "It's a great feeling to ride in a light, handy, four-cylinder car that will throttle down to three miles an hour on high gear, and will Jump from that to twenty-live miles an hour in iifty yards," declares Mr. Shank. "It's great to roll along at fifty miles ah hour in a car that simply loves to do it. "But, of all the wonderful engineer ing features Kay Harroun has has given the cars that bears his name, its easy-riding qualities were to me the most amazing. "I drove the car myself and pur posely shot it over a rough railroad dossing at better than thirty miles Un hour. Instead of the terrible Jounce we fully expected, the car kept smoothly on Its way. the long canti levers absorbing the whole shock ab solutely without rebound. "Those who saw the Harroun at the national shows will note a num ber of additions to its equipment, prominent among which is a rear gas oline tank with vacuum feed. "The big Harroun plants, two of them are each a couple of city blocks long, are already operating on the preliminary production steps. Dur ing my visit the machine equipment, the most modern in the Industry, was in dress rehearsal. "Material are arriving in carloads and were beins* stored along the sides of the assembly track. Hundreds of men were at work and plans for big production were plainly very near ful fillment. "Detroit itself its enthusiastic over the Harroun enterprise. More than 10,000 Detroiters, many of them in the industry with other manufactur ers. are stockholders in the corpor ation. "In the clubs and hotels, trade gos sip is all to the effect that the Har roun Mators Corporation is sure to become in a very short time one of the leading giants of the industry." Gravel Pit Sells Many Duplex Trucks, Says Lee "That gravel pit over there is one of the most important cogs in our sales organization," declared H. M. Lee, president of the Duplex Truck Company of Lansing, to a western State dealer who was being shown through the motor truck plant recently. "Yes, sir, I mean every word— that gravel pit sells Duplex trucks and it sells a lot of them. It offers more convincing arguments than any silver tongued salesman I ever met. 1 wouldn't part with that gravel pit for a lot of money." Then Mr. Lee gave a demonstra tion of Duplex truck pulling power at the gravel pit. A Duplex truck was loaded with a -ton burden and a trailer carry ing 4 tons was attached. The truck was taken down into the pit where there was a pool of water nearly a foot deep surrounded by soft earth into which the truck wheels sank nearly to their hubs. At one time all of the wheels but the right front one were in such soft earth that none could find traction. However, the entire power was automatically thrown by the Duplex-Adier locking differential to the front wheel which had a "footing" and the 7%-ton load on the truck and trailer was hauled not only out of the pit but up a steep embankment. After the truck had maneuvered in and about the gravel pit for a half hour and the strenuous tests were completed the dealer asserted to Mr. Lee that he was thoroughly con vinced of the selling ability of the gravel pit. "If I could only get a thousand prospective motor truck buyers gath ered about the gravel pit, I would wager that the gravel pit would sell 999 of them Duplex trucks," declar ed Mr. Lee.

JIVKMI.K OFFENSES SHOW INCREASE London, June 4. —The absence of the father and big brother from the home is one of the chief reasons for the Juvenile delinquency durinsc the war so apparent in all parts of Eng land, according to statements made in parliament the other day by Lord Sandwich. "Statistics from seven teen large cities," said Lord Sand wich, "show an increase of thirty four per cent, in the number of young offenders.

Lord Sandwich made a plea for the democratization of the Boy Scouts. "At present," he said, "that move ment seemed to cater more to boys of the middle or better class and not sufficiently for the boys about the streets.

RARRISBURG TELEGRAPH EDUCATORS ARE TAKEN TO TASK Commissioner of Health Dixon Makes Some Interest- ! ing Comments Educational systems of to-day are declared by Br. Samuel G. Dixon, State commissioner of health, to be wanting In attention to tho Individ ual. The commissioner says that educators ought to put Into effect more and more the principle that everyone is not created alike and that great care should be exercised that children are not forced beyond what they are acapable, mentally or physically. The commissioner says: "The physical and mental strength of a student is rarely considered by the educator. The result of this Is that we have a vast number of nerv ous wrecks, a burden to themselves and to the public because they are too weak, cither physically or men tally, or both, to stand what Is placed upon them by the teachers. Many of them, if strong enough physically, have not been born with sufficient gray matter ever to apply the high or education with which it is sought to equip them, should they live through the ordeal. Teaching does not produce brain substance, but only arms the brain tools for th struggle of modern achievement. Not only are children forced by teachers beyond their nat ural aptitude, but frequently to death. "Along the tracks of education there should be many stations where children could be discharged, titted to fill situations consistent with what nature had intended them to per form. To accomplish this in public school education, the curriculum would have to be adjusted so as to round up certain degrees of educa tion essential for them to pursue successfully some of the lesser posi tions in life. "The present system of having a continuous chain of study from the primary school to the high school leaves no link that is complete with in itself to provide for many of the occupations which are humble but still indispensable to our existence in civilized life. "Those sufficiently endowed with natural ability to make use of the higher education really represent a minority of our children. Those with weaker mentality, who are forced to keep up with those more richly endowed so that they may graduate from our high schools, are aften rendered too proud to seek the more humble positions in life. Many of these who find themselves in that position become a burden to the pub lic and often tumble into paths of dissipation. This chat is not my first at tempt during my life to awaken the educators to the necessity of recog nizing the fact that nature has not made us all alike. This great vari ation is found in animate and inani mate life and is generally consistent with the versatility of the necessities of man. "The teaching world, however, seems to be too highly specialized to take a broad view of the subject. Since it has failed, parents will have to provide the solution themselves. Let them lay aside sentiment .and try to measure their children's ca pacities for education and their ap titude to use education, so that they may be prepared by the proper kind of education to succeed in the char acter of work nature endowed them for. "This want of having more varied courses of study to meet the varied mental capacities of the students and their positions in life, has al ways been of vital importance. But in these war days wise conservation of education and health are doubly vital. If we are to lose some of our people in the war, one way of making up wU be to educate more properly those remaining." FOOD SITUATION IX FRANCE SERIOUS; BITTER 81 A POUND Paris, June 4. (Correspondence of the Associated Press). —The food question in France is regarded as very serious. All the measures thus far taken have failed to assure posi tively the required supply of bread to carry the country over to the next wheat crop, and the government has just decided in a special cabinet meeting to require important sacri fices. No more pastry and no more crack ers or biscuits will be made, except for the army, after a date still to be fixed. No more highly refined flour will be tolerated. Kvery miller will be obliged to have a greater percent age of bran In his output, and even tually cornmpal, rye or barley may be mixed with the wheat flour to eke out the supply. The experiences of the past year in France have shown the impossibility % of influencing economic conditions by "decree. The maximum selling price of wheat was fixed at a price equival ent to $1.85 a bushel, in order to avoid an increase in the cost of bread. The result was a great decrease in wheat acreage; the farmers preferred to sow oats and barley that were not subject to any limitations and brought better prices than wheat. The retail price of butter in the Paris market was fixed at the equiv alent of 68 cents a pound. Immediate ly the receipts fell from forty-two tons to less than nine tons a day. The butter went to the British front where it readily brought eighty cents a pound. The new minister of subsistence, Maurice Violette, removed the linnita tion and more butter arrived, but the price went up to a dollar a pound at retail. SOLDIKRS IU II.D RAII.RO \DS Rome, June 4. —The war department states that 240 miles of narrow gauge railway lines have been completed on the Italian army front. The soldierrf and sailors in Albania have laid sixty miles of narow gauge lines, this be ing the first railway system In that country, and have further built 180 miles of macadam or dirt wagon roads within the past year. These roads, running over mountains and through swamps, are also the first good roads known in this region since the days of the ancient Roman empire. THE (f *:/ BUBBLES <%/ IN THE FLAKES THAT W DISTINGUISH POST TOASTIES W-foix&iA / n EXCESS TAX ON TRUCKS UNJUST President of Packard Co. Says New Industries Should Not Be. Burdened The injustice of classing motor trucks among the luxuries sched uled for taxation in the war revenue bill is set forth clearly in a state ment which'Ah an Macauley, presi dent of Packard Motor Car Company, has submitted to Senator F. M. Sim mons, chairman of the Senate com mittee on finance. Mr. Macauley contends that the truck is an out-and-out instrument of commerce, wholly economic in its uses and of great military value to the government. He asserts, moreover, that the making of trucks is a new industry, in which no one as yet has got rich. "Truck manufacture is a very much newer business than the manu facture of motor cars," Mr. Macauley wrote to Senator Simmons. "Your committee never heard of a manu facturer of trucks that has gotten rich out of it. No one ever took a joy ride in a truck. It is designed to haul freight, and is as far remov ed from being a luxury as is a wheel barrow. "What, then, is the reason for subjecting trucks to the proposed 5 per cent, tax, in addition to all the other taxes they will have to stand ? "Trucks are made to take care of the business of the nation. "They are regarded by the warring governments as important a part of war equipment as are the cannon themselves, being used to bring pro visions to soldiers, ammunition to the guns, and largely where railrohds are not available, to move nil the equipment of warfare. "Some of the European govern ments, among them Germany, and we believe France *nd England, sub sidize all trucks used industrially that are adapted to transportation uses in time of warfare. Every en couragement is given to their pro duction in quantities and to their widespread distribution. "The last two years have proven the inadequacy of the railroad equip ment of the country to handle the freight traffic in peace times. This has given rise toa demand for trucks in every city, town and hamlet of the country. They are largely used to bring foodstuffs and produce to the markets, and then to take care of their retail distribution. "As you doubtless know, our gov ernment is even now proposing to buy trucks in large numbers, in con nection with the training of the large army we have been raising and are about to raise. "Please consider what a tremen dous factor trucks will be if this country is attacked by any foe that attempts to land troops for an inva sion.
