10 SCHOOL BOARD TO ENGAGE EXPERTS FOR BIG TASKS Rules Abolish Standing Com mittees to Make Way For New Methods Elimination of all standing com mittees from the city school board organization and the substitution of three additional oflicials was pro vided in the revised rules -which were passed by the directors yester day. All important general matters will he handled by the board, while the routine administration affairs, pur chasing of supplies, building repairs and improvements will be left in the bands of capable persons ap pointed to take charge of such work and make monthly reports to the board. In dropping the finance committee nil the book-keeping work will be giver to un expert accountant who will be required to keep a record of ali appropriations, costs and ex penditures under various divisions. Hills will be presented to the board when payment is to be ordered. A purchasing agent and a super intendent of buildings are the other two officials who are to be employed, tailing the place of the buildings ami the supply committees. The city su perintendent also is given more au thority to act in cases of assignment of teachers and in handling reports of misconduct of pupils. It was said no decision has been reached by any of the directors as to whom will be given the various positions. Director Werner made a motion to amend the rules so that the board wot'ild be required to se lect an employe of some bank or trust company for treasurer. The motion was defeated. Contracts Arc Lot The contracts for the remodeling of the Camp Curtin schoql building were awarded before the rules were considered. C. W. Strayer again re ceived the neneral contract at his bid of $170,521; Everts and Over dear, Lancaster, the heating work at. $25,255, and the Dauphin Elec trical Supplies Company the elec trical contract at .$1.1,350. Eugene J. Fogarty, of this city, was given the plumbing contract at $17,990, which was lower than the bid of E. It. Shellenberger, of Hamburg, who had been given the work the first time the bids were opened. The only increase is in the bid of the electrical firm. John 8. Musser, president of the company, was pres ent and explained to the directors that a twenty per cent, advance in the price of materials necessitated the increase in the bid. He also ex plained that when awarded the con tract the first time he had ordered the clock parts and telephones need ed for the contract, and would have bad these materials on his hands vlth no use for thent in case he had not been successful on the sec ond bid. The readvertisiug for proposals was necessitated because of a tech nicality discovered in the specifica tions by M. W. Jacobs, solicitor of the board. on the request of the local Army recruiting headquarters to en list school boys was postponed.

THIS SOLDIER LIKES FRANCE Harrisburg Lad Enjoys Work in American Medical Corps : 3B i : . GEORGE W. BELL George W. Bell, whose home is at 713 South Nineteenth .street, enlist ed July 23, 1917, just twelve days after he was 18 years old. He chose the Medical Corps and is now some where in France doing his bit. He j was a member of the class of 1918 at Tecli High school and has been' in France about four months and (teems well satisfied as these ex cerpts from his letters show. "Dear Dad and Mother: I had an unexpected trip to France, but ar rived safely. I thought it best not to let you know of it until I land ed, so that you would not worry. This is the first opportunity I had to write. We left for France on October 27 and it took us twelve days to make the trip. When wo landed we took a bike of several miles and were loaded on the train and were three days reaching our destination." Another letter is dated November CO, just after Thanksgiving and that lestival was on young Bell's mind evidently. "Dear Dad," he writes, "i suppose you had some dinner at home and maybe you thought I was eating hardtack and corned beef. But you certainly were mis taken. Yesterday was the first that I felt homesick and that was when I thought of the good old meal 1 was missing at home. But I put one over on all of you at home by having my Thanksgiving dinner about the time you were getting tip. You know it is six and a half hodrs earlier here than at home. Here is what we had for dinner, and I am not exaggerating: Turkey, goose, filling, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, soup, coffee, cran berries, fruit cake, peach pie, figs, apples and several kinds of nuts. I suppose you can hardly believe that we had all this but it is true and we could get a second helping, too. l-ast night there was a show In the Y. M. C. A. and in the sol dier club so you know we did not have such a bad time for Thanks giving. . "At the present time we occupy i a town by ourselves with the ex-! ception of a few old French wo-1 men and children. It rains al most all the time and it is so muddv that we continually have wet feet. I You get used to it. The French j people arc about 1,000 years be hind the United States in 'their cus-1 toms for their dress puts you in I mind of the old Quakers, and their] footwear is like that of Holland,' v/ooden. There is an orphan home] down the street and it is pitiful to i wee those children come down on the pavement in their long dresses, ! wide-rimmed hats and wooden shoes! as they go to school. There is aj box put out in front of the school! and the soldiers put in it all their spare change. "The French people certainly lrnow how to charge the American 1 soldier, but they do not get much! money out of our bunch for we did I not get paid since October 3, and j we do not expect to get any until I the 20th of next month. Then we will have two months' pay coming. I am not going to send any more money home for we cannot insure it and I hate to take chances, so 1 am saving fifty dollars out of next pay by letting the government keep it until I get my discharge. We are compelled to save at least one-half of our pay, so I am going to let the government keep whatever it choos er- to save. "I am well and like France very' much and I hope that you are aiil as wli and not worrying about me ' for I am perfectly safe." Motor Car Used to Switch Freight Cars The Held of activity in which the motor car operates to the advantage of modern man is almos* without limit. Witness the application of this truth by a resourceful Provi dence, H. T., man. When the freight car shortage be came serious several months a!?o, the Broadway Sales Company not only found it difficult to obtain ship ments from the factory, but had an endless amount of trouble in getting the cars unloaded when they finally arrived in Providence. This was .Ije to insufficient switching facilities and a bad congestion of the rail road yards. Sales were too heavy to tolerate delays, so the manager of the com pany decided there had to be a rem edy. He brought out one of the old est Dodge Brothers motor cars he ■ had and went down to the yards to do a little switching .of his own. The experiment worked. Although the car had seen more than 20,000 miles of service, it applied itself en ergetically to the task of moving freight cars weighing about 50,000 pounds each, "kicking" them up to the platform where they could be unloaded. Thereafter the same plan was tried several times, each time with success. There are more ways than one in which the motor car can prove it self indispensable. FIRMS MUST MARK RETURNS Sunbury, Pa., Jan. 19.—Prothono tary Summers has received notice from the Auditor General's office in llarrisburg, saying that all persons or firms doing business under a fic titious name must make their re turns before the first of the month or suffer arrest, for violating the law. More than fifty firms have so far nado this report in Northumberland county and a heavy penalty goes vith ignorance or failure to attend I to this mattej. MOTOR CAR IS A PRIME FACTOR In Every Field of Endeavor It Is an Indispensable Instru ment of Service (By 'J. D. Dort, president Dort Motor Car Company). The three commodities most es sential to the public welfare are food, fuel and transportation. One of the most important units in the transportation system ot' America is the passenger automo bile. It not only feeds and supple ments the steam and electric rail-' ways, but reaches destinations that it alone can reach. It has freed the farmer from isola tion. It has brought him miles near er his buying and selling markets. The working hours that are saved through the ground-covering ability oi' his car are many. The passenger automobile enables men employed in cities to live ip the suburbs—not only those of large means, but small storekeepers, clerks and mechanics. In the city thousands of salesmen, contractors and solicitors, hundreds of physicians, scores of real estate dealers, and many other groups, rely upon the automobile to accomplish economics identical with those of the typewriter and the telephone—econ omics that conserve time. The war has brought many dutiTi to most of us. We freely and gladly offer our services to the government —in selling bonds, doing Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work, making speeches, consulting and planning. We must manage to crowd into our and the automobile is helping us immeasurably to do it. Method For Service Charges Is Success There are few details in connec tion with the handling of an im mense volume of automobile busi ness that present more intricate problems than does the service question. John N. Willys, head of Willys-Overland, Inc., believes, how ever. that his problem is solved by the adoption of such a service sys tem as the one employed at the New York branch of Willys-Over land. The Overland policy, that has proved so successful, is to inform the customer in advance as to the charges he will be called upon to pay for repairs, irrespective of whether those repairs are of easy remedy or of long drawn out pro cess. In other words, the protection of the customers' interests begins when the ailing car is driven into station. As the customer takes bis car into the service station, a. foreman is on iiand whose duty it is to immedi ately get all available information concerning what the trouble is. Should the repair be of trivial na ture, it is made at once, frequently without charge for workmanship. A charge is made, quite naturally, for materials used. In case more extensive repairs are desired, but of such a nature that it will be unnecessary to leave the car for several hours, a quick order blank is Issued which calls for details concerning the work to be done, the time of the car's entrance into the station and the amount of the charges. While the workmen are busy on the car, the customer is made comfortable in the waiting room which contains newspapers, magazines and so on. However, this system shows to particular advantage, it is pointed out, when extended repair work is dope. Formerly, the customer took his chances on the price that would be charged. He left the car and hoped for the best. Under the Overland system, an immediate and careful examination of the car is made, while an expert passes judgment as to what will be required, in the way of materials and workmanship, to put it in order again. As each needed repair is dis covered, it is entered on a contract and opposite the entry is set the amount that will be charged for the various operations. The cost of materials is obviously a fact generally Ttnown in advance. This appraisal, which can be ac complished in from ten to thirty minutes, does away with all the old uncertainties. The customer knows what he will be expected to pay and what charges will be for. It occasionally happens, of course, that during the actual process of re pairs, unforeseen trouble will de velop. When this happens, the cus tomer is communicated with and asked if extra expense will be sat isfactory. This system of service charges. Mr. Willys declares, has eliminated ninety per cent, of the difficulties at tendant upon service under the old methods.

In tha wake of one of the worst l January cold spells, according to the; New York Weather Bureau, in a' quarter of a century, a Chalmers liot-spot started last nfght in forty seconds, after a fifteen-hour expos ure in stinging icy cross-winds. From 7.30 in the morning until; 10.30- at night a stock Chalmers was left standing in the path of, thou sands of show visitors, in personal charge of an expert observer, and opfcn to inspection by the public. The prime object of the test was j to do everything "in the open" un der the supervision of experienced I judges and in the fact of the worst weather conditions prevailing dur ing the tveek. Although thejyeatlier was milder than last weeks intense cold, at the same time are average temperature for tho flfteen-hour test was about 25 degrees below the point of freez ing. With great quantities of snow ' still banked in the street, the car was surrounded by ice on the ground and. cold in the air. The Chalmers ther- I mometers varied, one being lower' than the weather bureau and the other one higher. The maximum average was 30 degrees and the, minimum 24 degrees above zero. W. H. Trabrand, Jr., formerly sec retary A. A. A. contest board, now suspended, sat in the car through out the test and submitted a written report to the judges committee. At 10.30 last night with the mer i cury at 23 above the starter was I pressed down and the first explosion was recorded in 8 seconds. In 40 ] seconds, slightly over a half minute, j the engine officially started and was I running perfectly. Cadillac Company Elects New Manufacturing Head John F. Guider, formerly factory superintendent of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, and an execu tive of that concern for more than twelve years, has been elected vice president of the Cadillac Motor Car Company, in charge of manufactur ing. Mr. Guider. who has already as sumed work in his new capacity at Detroit, says: "It has always been my policy and practice to build a first class product and to improve It, and in what 1 have seen at the Ca dillac shops I have been impressed by the fact that this is exactly the Cadillac policy." He is 45 years old and comes from a New England family of manufacturers. He started to work when eleven years old, and has had en unusually broad experience. apprenticeship as a machinist and tool maker was with the Yale Lock Company, now the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, of Stam ford, Conn. Building, installing and testing marine engines was a later pursuit. Other connections were with the American Graphophone Company at Bridgeport, Conn., and as a mechanical expert in a New York patent office. He also did re search and experimental work for the Union Typewriter Company. Mr. Guider went to the Pierce- Arrow Company in 1905, and two years later became general factory superintendent. He remained in that capacity until January 1, when he assumed charge of the manufacture of Cadillac cars. Behind the chronology of Mr. Gui der's connections is an interesting story of self development. Among his hobbies are physics, music and law. He is a student of all three. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets.

Not so, however, among the leaders in the motorcar industry itself. "Even now the general public has learned that the war must act as a" stimulant in the selling of automo biles," says John N. Willys, of Willys- Overland fame. "This is a day of thrift and increased business effici ency. The automobile is a factor that rnpst be included in programs of thrift and efficiency and for that reason it lias become indispensable in public and private life. "There is every reason to believe at this time that there will be some de crease in the supply of cars. Many of the manufacturers are not ade quately equipped to handle both their motorcar business and the Govern ment work, and they have patriotical ly allowed their personal affairs to go by the way in their effort to support the country's fighting program. "And, obviously, any decrease in supply will mean a greater demand for the cai*3 that are being built. The demand itself will not fall off —it will grow as the requirements assume greater oroporitions. "It has been said that farming con ditions furnish the. basis for all pros perity. We know what the farmers are up against this coming year. Never lias responsibility, rested as heavily on their shoulders as at this time. In fact, the winning of the war is to a large degree dependent on the sup port of the farmers. Their efficiency will be taxed to the utmost. "And, one cannot talk of farming efficiency without considering the au tomobile. Already the car has accom plished great things for the farmer i and it is about to accomplish still i more wonderful achievements.

In other words, 63 per cent, of all the cars in use in this country are owned and op orated by people living in small towns and in the country.
