18 DEMAND WILL EXCEED SUPPLY Hudson Automobile Dealer Says Shipping Facilities Will Be His Chief Worry "No one questions the demand that we shall have for motors cars this spring," says L. H. Hagerling, Hudson distributor. "The very curtailment of railroad facilities will make the need for motor cars all the greater. Now that there have been official assur ances that there is a sufficiency of gasoline there is no hesitancy in the market on that score. The problem, more severe than it has ever been felt, will be in obtaining cars to de liver. The sales will not be among the dealers' worries this year. "Thousands of freight cars are bottled up or otherwise held in freight yards waiting to be unloaded. But where to unload them is the problem. Heavy snows have delay ed the operation of the railroads. "Most of the heavy shipments are made from the West to the Eastern ! seaboard. The oars which go east| ladened with foodstuffs and muni tions are loaded with merchandise from the eastern factories and sent west—when the goods are going to the point where the freight car is needed to carry another important shipment back to ocean shipping ports. "Such important essentials as sugar have been kept back from delivery to eastern points. Great sections of the country has for weeks been threatened by a coal shortage that has resulted in shutting down factories, the dimming of electric signs and in much suffering in mapy places. In Detroit it has not been an uncommon sight to see coal treas ured in bushel bags being transport ed to homes in limousines. "The freight situation has grown so acute that now even express cars are not obtainable for automobile shipments. The express companies are permitted to furnish their cars only for less than carload sizes. "It is easy to see then just what a demand there will be for car S; Early buyers will be the wise ones."

BOWERS & SUFFERN. - NEW YORK, , January, 22, 1918. I J> THURSDAY EVENING, No Limit to the Motor Car Salesman's Field Many strange climes have beer explored within recent years by the motorcars are numerous through strange peoples have been enrolled in the great list of owners. A pho tograph obtained recently by E. G. Willems, traveling district repre sentative for a Detroit manufactur er, is an emphatic illustration of how general the use of the automo bile has become and how it stands in many instances as practically the only mark of advanced civilization in an almost primeval environment. The photograph referred to was taken in Baguia. 175 miles from Manila, Philippine Islands. The driver and his passengers are Igo rots. The Black Chief, despite the fact that his negative attire would indicate a decided lack of famili arity with all things scientific, grasps the wheel with a confidence suggesting that he might easily be come an expert driver. Other in teresting views sent bi- Mr. Willems, who is connected with Dodge Brothers, show that Dodge Brothers motor cars are numerous through out the Philippines as well as in other more remote sections of the globe. Buick Sedan Type Proves to Be Popular Model One of the niost popular of the new model Buicks is E-6-47. This touring sedan is a closed car of the convertivle type,, a cozy, well-ap pointed model for all town and so cial purposes. With all windows and supports removed, it is in every par ticular "ideal for tine weather driv ing or touring. This change is made quickly with out inconvenience to passengers. A large dome light located In the top illuminates the interior with a cheerful glow. l>argc roomy seats and luxurious upholstering make the car extremely comfortable for long or short rides. A 60-H. P. Buick valve-in-head motor furnishes the power. The flexibility of this motor is noted in the ability to pick up, ability to de velop speed and the ease with which it throttles down to meet the re quirements of moving traffic. For harmony of appearance and consistency of performance this Buick valve-in-head model meets every requirement and the unquali fied approval of critical motorcar buyers. Flour Sacks Are Short in Weight, Says Reel Many retail merchants in selling flour, cornmeal and buckwheat flour; in small sacks are unintentionally I giving short weight to customers, according to Harry D. Reel, city in spector of weights and measures. Mr. Reel said to-day in many in stances he had w r e|ghed sacks which had been marked containing a cer tain amount ot flour or meal and had found that the weight was short from 2 to 8 ounces. While the trouble Is probably due to the miller who makes the flour or meal, according to Mr. Reel, at the same time re tailers are the ones who are liable In case any prosecutions follow. He warned all dealers to remark under weight sacks of flour or meal and to notify the firm from whom the sup ply was purchased. Rye Flour Not Classified as Wheat Substitute Rye flour is not considered in 1 Pennsylvania as a substitute for wheat under the recent call from President • Wilson for the conserva tion of white flour, State Food Ad ministrator Heinz to-day telegraphed H. H. Mentzer, administrator of Cumberland county. This because of the great demand for rye abroad. Kye flour, however, may be used as a substitute pending the arrival of other substitutes into the state's markets. Administrator Heinz now is calling upon local administrators to prevent hoarding of wheat by enforcing rules restricting the amount of flour that may be purchased.

Success has been built up and maintained on a basis of sound judgment in picking the right kind of standard accessories and of fair dealings at all times with the cus tomers. The wholesale department of this concern predominates and the won derful shipping facilities of Harris burg has helped supply the rapid service this branch of the business requires. Its faculty of being able to take carc of its orders within twelve to twer.t" four hours has ■ brought it a reputation among the | representative manufacturers which ■ is invaluable in securing new parts. | The Front-Market Supply Co. is j now a member of the National As-; soeiation of Automobile Accessory Jobbers, which is a wholesale dis tributors organization for the pur pose oi protecting their trade against inferior goods and sharp practices.

Coroner Eckinger Has No Statement on Surcharges Coroner Eckinger to-day announced he had nothing to say In connection with the surcharge of $2,170 made by County Controller Gough in his an nual report.

All warrants for qualifying wit nesses in cases where there were no formal inquests passed through the hands of the County Commissioners and the County Controller and were approved.

Must Not Urge Consumers to Lay in Foodstuffs Donald McCormick, Federal Food Administrator, to-day received some data from Washington to the ef fect that the administration does not disapprove of advertising in news papers. The administration dis courages advertising which tends to induce consumers to increase their purchases of flour or sugar during the present national crisis. This is deemed to be against public policy. The information from Washington says that the administration does not approve of advertisements on flour naming special prices, deals, schemes or other inducements that would tend to lead the consumer to purchase flour in quantities larger than his ordinary requirements and we ask that such advertisements be discontinued.

Council May Give City a Monthly Ash Collection and Let it Go at That Postponement of action of award ing a contract for ash collections or rejecting the bid submitted by Stees, Simonetti and Company, is creating much discussion all over the city as there has been no definite promise that provision will be made for re moval of ashes. It was reported to-day !n council manic circles that the Commissioners are considering the advisability of having regular clsanrps by contract. Instead of having regular weekly col lections, the plen wJI be to have \ general cleanup nil over the city at the end of each month. Districts would probably outlined and vari ous contractors vngaged tc put forces of men at work there ontil all accu mulated waste had been removed. The ten-year contract for ash and garbage collections held by the Penn sylvania Reduction Company ended to-day. All over the city many yards arc partly tilled with cans, boxes, baskets and other receptacles, all overflowing with aahe?, and burled under several feet of snow. A thaw M'ii! bring about unprecedented con ditions, officials anticipate. Washington Will Settle Questions The demand for the investigation of District Appeal Board No. 2, in Philadelphia, which was made yester day by local Board No. 32, of Phila delphia, will be referred to Washing ton for aation. No one at the Capitol seemed to know whether the demand had been received to-day. but it was stated that when it did come to hand, that it would be sent to State Draft Headquarters, which is in charge of draft matters, and that it would then go to Wabhington. This Is the first demand of the kind to be made in the state and bids fair to create an in teresting condition In opinion of men at the Capitol. , The schedules for the movement of the men to make up shortages for the three camps have been sent to the local boards and the usual number of inquiries are being made. There is no intimation when the remainder of the Pennsylvania men in the first call will be ordered to move, but owing to conditions it is not thought now that they will go much before March 1 They will certainly not start be fore February 15. No intimations have been given whether Oenerals A. J. Logan and F. W. Htillwcll, Colonels E. D. Kearns and E. H. Ripple, Jr., and other former National Quard officers, who have either been turned down or resigned at Camp Hancock, will be called in to help organize the Reserve Militia or not. The posts.above, captains have all been filled. It is considered un likely that any of them will be called upon to help In the draft.

"The funniest show in the world," is the May the Milwaukee Sentinel expressed itself regard "Henpecked ing the musical comedy, Henry" "Henpecked Ilenry." which will be seen at the Orplieum, Monday and Wednes day, with daily matinees. '"Henry" is one of the most original characters ever presented upon the jtlaKe. You see him in the placid humility of a domineered husband one moment and the gay and festive follower of chorus girls and buyer of champagne sup pers the next. He often breaks into song, as do his companions, and, It is said, there is not a dull moment in the entire entertainment. One scene in particular is claimed by the man agement to be the most amusing ever conceived. It is where the shrewisn wife finds the old sport in a gross in iquity and a funeral procession marches around him to the music of a dirge. The chorus Is claimed to be of ability and good looks. "Olives" is the somewhat unusual but attractive title of a breezy musi cal comedy appearing Sandy Shaw at the head, of a line nt >laje*tlc up of sterling Keith acts at the Majestic the last half of this week. The piece is presented by ten clever entertain ers, and features the popular team, Sinclair and Dixon. The production is beautifully staged and costumed, and contains all the qualities that combine to make a delightful offering for any vaudeville audience. The usual number of acts presented on the pro gram, including Shaw, the famous Scotch comedian, who is duplicating his hit of last season; Duggan and Raymond, young couple, presenting their laughable skit entitled "They Auto Know Better;" Werner and Aster, novelty dance artists, and Ella LaVail in a splendid aerial offering. A real Hallowe'en party in an old Southern mansion, and a cotton plan tation with over 100 "Tbe Voice Georgie "darkies" of Conscience" picking cotton in the at the Colonlnl lields, are two of the novel features in "The Voice of Conscience," the Metro feature co-starring Francis X. Bush man and Beverly Bayne at the Colo nial Theater to-day. The picture is one combining thrills and charm, and is said to be packed to the brim with exciting and interesting incidents. There is every phase of life depicted, from the misery of a prison cell to the rapture of love confessed. "The Voice of Conscience" is a picture that is bound to give satisfaction. First time on any screen—Mary Garden in "Thais." A charming screen presentation of this famous opera In whiclf the golden-voiced prima donna won world-wide fame. The story of a modern divorce con spiracy, written by a court reporter, will be the attraction "Alimony" at at the Victoria Thea the Victoria ter to-day and to morrow, entitled "Ali mony." This is not a horror film nor a problem play, but a powerful blend ing of gripping dramatic interest, pathos and supreme love. In view of .the fact that the story has been writ ten by a court reporter it comes from a man who is really in a unique po sition to give the world a great lesson on the subject of the unwanted "wife," or "how and why wives art cast aside." The story shows in de tail a striking case in the divorce traffic of crooked lawyers, who prey on the rich. "Alimony" is a photo play that will appeal particularly to women and will profit all who see it. For Saturday. Virginia Pearson will be featured In "The Stolen Honor," one of the best films in which this noted star has been shown. AMUSEMENTS MAJESTIC THEATER The longer they rout, the better they get.
