Steelton Is Giving Much Relief in Water Famine Steelton is supplying about 500,- 000 gallons of water to Harrisburg every twenty-four hours, according to a borough official this morning. Judging from present conditions ; there is little danger of the local station being compelled to let up 011 the supply to Harrisburg. The | local reservoir Is not full by far, but enough is being pumped in to keer the borough well supplied. The sta tion is pumping as much water as possible after it is filtered. Residents have not so far as could be noticed !by water officials, heeded the re quest to save water. It is absolutely necessary for every consumer to be economical if Steelton is to continue giving Harrisburg water, an official said.

Stewart Quality Built Into Stewart Trucks One reason claimed for the suc cess of the Stewart Truck is the prin- j ciple of building Stewart quality into every truck. No detail Is slighted to | make this truck both serviceable and I economical. Stewart model chassis are all con-| structed to give service for all kinds ( of business. Extra long wheelbase j and frames on certain models permit i the use of body types to meet prac- | tically all requirements. The motor is of the latest type, and 1 in accordance with past practice, "is j of the unit type, suspended on three j pcints. The clutch and transmission j being bolted directly to the frame ! insures positive alignment and long' life. An automatic governer, which is j part of the equipment, controls the | speed at all times. A standard maxi- ' mum speed at which the truck shows ; its best efficiency has been adopted j —the entire governor mechanism be- j ing closed and sealed. Internal-gear-drlve axle of the I most advanced design is used. Its j simple construction sets a new stand- , ard for motor trucks. The reserve strength of its steel structure enables 1 the truck to stand up under the hard- , est service and requires very little 1 mechanical attention. Oilless bushings are used in the springs, spring shackles and brake countershafts; these provide perfect i lubrication at all times with very ' little attention and eliminate trou- ! tlesome grease cups at almost lnac- ' cessable places. The equipment is complete In all | details. The control levers are within easy reach of the driver, whose com- : fort has been considered. These j trucks are made in all sizes from the ! three-quarter-ton truck up to the heavier models for all ktnds of haul- ! iDg. They are sold in the Harris- i Agency. 1139 Mulberry street, burg district by the Hudson Sales I Power Than Ever^^ II The unprecedented range of per- Peerless —all that the name implies.
