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.

: 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 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

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.

WAR EFFECT ON
AUTO INDUSTRY
Less Cars Because of War,
But Demand Will
Continue
So much has been said about the
uncertainty of automobile manufac
turing conditions, as the result of the
war, ihat there are undoubteJly many
who would regard the war as a de
pressing factor in motorcar trade. 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.
