HILTON A recent letter to his parents, Al kderman and Mrs. Edward J. Hilton, I from William G. Hilton, tells vividly ; of his experiences in chasing a sub | marine and of his being storm-toss i ed on the sea. His visit to several is j lands in company with shipmates ' was an enjoyable time. "December j 31 in company with two shipmates, j we started on a 36-hour liberty, go | ing from our ship to His Majesty's i dockyard, Bermuda and thence ; walking to the little town of Somer ! set. It was a beautiful stroll. We j stopped at a little inn and had lunch and a pleasant chat with a charming English girl. We then hired a team |anc} drove from Somerset to the dock I and ferried over to Hamilton, where I we got shaved and washed, also ate [ and attended a dance at the Navy I Club. It was perfectly enjoyable, | really a fitting end to a beautiful, i clear day." Hilton continues, telling about the | dance and says that when the clock | struck the hour of 12, the lights were suddenly extinguished and then | again the room was Hooded with | light, while the entire company sang I "The Star Spangled Banner." "Those | are livable experiences and things i not to be stolen from one's memory chest." "We left Bermuda for the Azores,' ! January 5, starting out on a voyage I which proved to be of a perilous | nature. We were eighteen days at j sea, storm-tossed in a 90-mile gale I for five days and nights, enduring sleepless nights, water flooding the compartments and running all over ! the decks, even over the highest j part of the ma|n structure of the j pilot house. Eating at irregular times and working always when not on | watch every other four hours, and! then to top it off, we were towingj I one of the sub chasers, and it broke [loose eight times in midocean, two | times in one day. It sometimes took; i eight to ten hours to pick it up. One ! chaser and the entire crew were lost j while some of our boats lost men I over the sides, never to be found. ! Our chaser lost one man. We, how j ever, were fortunate. One night with j the sea running sixty feet high and | wind at about seventy miles per hour about 7 o'clock the whistle blew, 'Tow line broke, all hands on the quarterdeck to pick up chaser.' At •t o'clock next morning we started on i our course again, soaking wet, cold, hungry and sleepy and then to go Little Walks in Harrisburg Parks BY V. GRANT FORRER, ASSISTANT SUPT. OF PARKS WHAT a grand and glorious feeling it is to get out in the open after such a severe win ter as we have just experienced. And the first thought of most of us after the nice weather arrives is to go into the country. Harrisburgers are blessed with beautiful woods and valleys and meadows apd the like, all of which make for delight ful hikes in every direction from the city. Of all tlie walks into the country there seems to be a universal opinion that Wildwood is the best. Many will say it is inaccessible, but let us see if that is so. Of courses much depends on the length of walk de sired, and we will assume a four or five mile distance. As most every one knows, the present entrance to Wildwood is Maclay street east of the Pennsyl vania Railroad and Just beyond Paxton creek. Beginning at Maclay street, you have the choice of trav eling on the cinder road, which is always in good condition, or taking a well-deiined path along Paxton creek. The creek .path is almost completely hidden from the road by hundreds of thorn apple trees which will be a mass of white blossoms a few weeks hence. This path is not more than'fifty feet from the road until just below Division street, where the creek begins a series of turns, and as you proceed above Di vision you seem to drift farther from civilization as you find yourself among a splendid growth of elms, pin oaks and thorn allies. About 150 yards above Division street on the creek path there Is another op portunity to choose between two ways—the one along the creek and the other across to the west. By continuing along the creek you will cross the stream twice over rustic bridges which were located to elim inate a detour of the creek on the old Monongahela Melting Company land, and by proceeding further you will cross over the cinder road at the second service bridge below the breast of the dam and by going eastwardly about one hundred yards you arrive at the path which ex tends along the hillside on the old Forster tract to the * breast of the dam. The dam can also be reached by the path referred to as going eastwardly from a point about one hundred and fifty yards above Divi sion street. This section extends through a thicket of wild grapevines and brings one out at the picnic pavl-l on watch again right away. This 1s what proves what kind of Jtuff you are. It's experience bin. it's— costly. The sea would wash' over the deck, carrying us from side to side; to let go the lifelines would have meant signing your death sentence. It was Just so for eighteen days, and I understand It was at this time, we were reported lost at sea. "Finally wo arrived at Ponta Del gada, the Azore Islands, January 24. It was early in the niorning, and It was then that I thanked God for His mercy. "The inhabitants, Spanish and Portuguese are of a poor and igno rant class and very low. Fruit isvery plentiful and extremely delicious. Boats used to swarm around us every day bringing .the fruit to us for sale. "The landscape is very irregular and not as pretty as Bermuda, hut more interesting and varied. The port, the third largest city, is very foreign, coblestoned, nar row, dirty streets, tiled pave ments, elaborately carved cathedrals and humble dwellings, some pink and light blue, and some white. "While at this port we convoyed a returning troop ship out of the war zone and almost got into action with a sub. Our ship was in the rear when the troop ship in front opened lire on the sub. Whether she sunk it or not I do not know as we were about two miles back and couldn't see,' except the firing. We stood by for action but never came into it. We returned back to port in three days and on the ninth of February left for a Portuguese port. "Experiencing a perfect sea, calm as a mill pond for five days, we ar rived at Delxos, near Aporto, on St. Valentine's day. No excitement en route." Automobile Prices Steadily Increase T. J. Toner, sales director, of Chal mers Motor Car Company, warns pub lic automobile cost may return to level of 1912-15. Ho says: "America demands the genuine old fashioned, high-priced peace 'not made in Germany.' And that means there is no short cut to victory. "If in heeding these demands, the government, continues to insist on a slacking of manufacture, the automo bile industry must respond. But sucil a drastic order immediately increases our overhead expenses and a raise in price is inevitable. "It should be made clear that such a raise is no arbitrary action on the part of the manufacturers. The pub lic should understand that such a move is but the natural sequence of prevailing conditions. "The government at Washington has plenty of money: raw materials are abundant—but labor is at a pre mium. There has been a drainage on man-power t.he world over, and there is a serious shortage of workingman power in the United States. "The great Maxwell plants could readily maintain normal production and at the same time turn out trac tors for (he government. The highly efficient Chalmers factory'could easily keep on at maximum production and still manufacture vast storehouses of munitions for Uncle Sam. "Both of these things could be ac complished perhaps without effecting the supply of money or materials — but not so with men. It is manpower that the government sees to conserve. "Motorcar production at anything less than maximum quantity must force prices upwards. Therefore a lessening of production is the most compelling factor which automobile builders have to confront this year. "Slackening of output means that 1918 quality must sell at the quan tity prices of 1915 or maybe even as high as 1912. In other words the manufacturer must go back to the period when less cars were built and higher prices prevailed. "To this penalty for curtailment, must be added, the prosent-day scar city and price of materials: and the Inadequate supply of labor. For these reasons, as a part of the problem to victory, the automobile Industry may have to accept such orders with all the attending problems of decreased production and Increased price. "A year ago fevv would, have be lieved that the peace-loving Indus trious American democracy would or could adapt Itself to the rigors and sacrifices of war. But the spirit and accomplishments of America at war, will go down as one of the sensations of the Twentieth century. "What America has done, Its third greatest industry has done and will continue to accomplish in a propor tionate degree. The men that have stood behind the automobile indus try in the face of panics, financial flurries and periods of depression, are not the men to lay down to-day when business and victory need them most. "There may be scarcity, but there is no scare, among the leaders. The industry may mark time, but It will never halt. "Sales during 1918 attained new hl(ll records. There will be two and perhaps three demands for every ear on the dealers' floor. High prices linve as yet never stopped a selling campaign. There is not a foreisn country that has not gone ahead buy ing cars; and American makes im ported despite the special war-time duties, reach as high as forty and fifty per cent." <. lion and passes by the ewer-flowing fountain whose sprinkling magnesia water is parried 1,000 feet through three-quarter-inch pipe from the ra-1 vine directly to the east. After the j thirst is quenched proceed directly i across the old and original Wetzel's Swamp to the hillside path and then | turn northwardly to the dam. Imight add that the area from the fountain to the bluff was formerly a veritable lake, where many wild ducks were shot in years gone by. In 1907 we drained these twenty-tive acres with a liberal-sized ditch down the cen ter with several cross-drains. It is also possible to reach the hillside path farther south by cross ing from the creek path at the lower end of the baseball field and follow the old township road that formerly provided a trafflcway from Crooked Hill to the old canal road. Above the breast of the dam there are two paths, one on either side of the lake, but the one on the east side is the most used, principally because It adds an additional 1,500 feet to the hike to reach the path on the west side of the lake. The paths are now in line condition considering the early season. At several places along the east side of the lake there must be done some cribbing as the heavy west winds cause considerable erosion. Wildwood seems to be harboring more birds each year, and right now there are many of the following: robins, flickers, Bong sparrows, black birds, starlings, meadow larks, nttail, Kentucky cardinals, theb luest TTlue blrds and many others. 1 There are thousands of frogs and their first appearance last Tuesday 1 afternoon was surely a noisy one. From Maclay street to the head of tlio lake is about four and a half miles by the paths described, and It ! is possible to get a Roekville car every twenty minutes, which can ' be reached by going: via Linglestown road under the Pennsylvania Rail road main line through a subway, which is the only safe way to cross over above Maclay street bridge. For persons who do not care for a long walk in Wildwood it will be a good plan to take a Fourth street or Roekville car and get off at Divi sion street and use bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad and go either by road or path to picnic woods where there are always picnic tables and benches and good cold water, i After a good fill of country air a return via Division street can be made.

We must produce larger har vests. This depends upon the govern ment to assure the farmers help. Unless the United States sends 75,000,000 bushels of wheat abroad the next few months we cannot win the war. Do your bit to assisting In the present farm enrollment. The 450 million acres of farm land in this country produce less than fifty per cent, of what they should produce. To-morrow the ministers in the different churches will assist In the present drive for the enrollment of men to work on the farms. Harris burg and Dauphin county will not be behind in this great undertaking. Sunday school superintendents have also been urged to arrange ral lies for the presentation of the facts of the farm labor situation. The se rious shortage of farm help threat ens to reduce greatly the agricul tural production of the state. Under direction of the U. S. Department of Labor and with the co-operation of the Pennsylvania Committee of Pub lic Safety efforts are being made to induce men having farm experience but now engaged in other work to return to the farms, at least tem porarily. The Need of Help The churches and Sunday schools can help greatly in carrying the farm message to men and young men. Spe cial appeals for church support have been made by John C. Frazee, U. S: Reserve director, and the Rev. Frank B. Lynch, state director for churches of the Committee of Public Safety. In many sections four minute men will sound the call, "Back to the farms," during the coming week. Farm labor will be enrolled at the following places: Y. M. C. A. building, Harrisburg. Motor Club of Harrisburg, 109 South Second street. George M. Harry, Third and Wal nut streets. Frank A. Stees, Steelton Trust building, Steelton. A. H. Luckinbill, Middletown.

Fager, Jr. The drive that, will be on for several weeks is state wide and there is ev every indication that Dauphin county as has been its .record, will go over the top on this enrollment. . Mr. Haldeman said yesterday: "There is no doubt about it that to win the war food must be provided: for where would our boys be to-day or where would the allies be in the awful battle now going on if our men were not properly nourished, and it Don't Worry About anything when yon take a pleasure spin up the river road.

I A Seven-Passenger Six That You Can Afford |fl WEARE NOT THINKING of the price—for that isn't the primary consideration in the [ selection of a car. I WHEN WE SAY. "Here is a seven-passenger |j| Six that you can afford," we are thinking of the same item that you, an experienced motorist, are considering— I NAMELY—UPKEEP. That is the first thing to consider in the selection of an automobile. fl ASK ANY REO SIX OWNER to tell you of the upkeep coet of his Six —and the longer he | has owned and the farther he has driven his H Reo, the better will his answer sound. HE WILL TELL YOU that, having compared 11 notes with friends who own and drive other 11 makes of cars—fours as well as sixes—of the same passenger capacity, he has never found one that compared with his Reo Six in low I AND HE'LL TELL YOU. too. that he has yet to find even a five-passenger car—four or six— the operation, repairs, replacements and gen eral upkeep cost of which proved as low as his Reo Six—except one —the five-passenger Reo. NATURALLY a five-passenger car ought to be cheaper to maintain than one of seven pas- | senger capacity—but most are not, when you . look up the figures. REO DEALERS TELL US that their records for the past three years show that Reo Six owners on the average have paid less than . eight dollars per car per year for replacement JUST READ THAT AGAlN—with thousands of Reo Sixes running in all parts of the country, over all kinds of roads and handled by all kinds of skilled and unskilled drivers; most of them owner driven and owner cared for (or neglected)— THE AVERAGE COST per car. per year, for re placement parts was less than eight dollars! FRANKLY WE DON'T believe that rec r ord can be equalled by any other seven passenger car on earth. AND WE MAY ADD that the records on the five-passenger Reo show less than seven dollars per car. THE SAME QUALITY—the same sound engi neering; the same ripe experience; the same attention to little details, and the same con struction, inspection and testing of every car enter into the making of all Reo models. COST OF UPKEEP is always uppermost in the I I minds of Reo engineers, when designing and when specifying materials —and since the same desire is uppermost in the minds of the most experienced buyer*—we meet on a common ground.
