NEW HUPMOBILE
A LADIES' CAR
Ease of Operation Makes This
Gar as Easy to Handle For
the Lady as the Man
The operation of automobiles, driving
through traffic or over country roads
is an easy proposition with the motor
of to-day. People used to marvel at
the driving of a car through heavy
traffic, but now it is a common oc
currence, due to the perfection of the
system of operation.
A few years ago it was a rare
thing to see a woman driving an au
tomobile. To-day there are a large
number of ladies driving cars. They
are taking to it as naturally as the
man. One of the favorite cars for the
lady is the new Series "It" Hupmo
bile: The ease of operation of this
• ar makes it a desirable one for the
lady.
Not only this ease of operation at
raets tho woman, but its beautiful
tppearance, its long low body with
graceful sweeping lines and the many

other Rood qualities that ure found In
the Hupmobile.
A tap or the foot on the starter,
puts the engine in motion and slight
movement of the hand and the cur Is
in gear, ready to move when the
clutch is let in, and away you go.
Shifting from low to second and from
second to high, is a* easy as shifting
a pencil from one hand to the other,
("ear shfftlng In the new Hupmobile
is almost mechanical" in its operation,
and very little practice makes it per
fect.
Another feature of the Hup is the
large comfortable seats both front
ahd rear. There are no small spaces
to cramp your legs, and the heavily
upholstered seats makes it as . easy
riding for a hundred miles as for one.

QUAIL SURVEY
NOW UNDER WAY
Dr. Kalbfus Aims to See How
the Birds Survived the
Winter in State
"We are going to have data gath
ered on the way the quail in Penn
sylvania stood the winter and then
contrast the condition with Ohio,
where they made the quail a song
bird, as was tried when the last leg
islature of our state was in session,''
said Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary
of the State Game Commission, in
talking over the game situation. "It
is my opinion that the gamo in
Pennsylvania stood the very severe
winter better than many people
imagine because sportsmen and
game lovers and in some comnrtni
tiess, farmers who realized the value
of the quail "as insect destroyers,
scattered feed for the birds. Our
own wardens did considerable of this
work, using funds provided by
sportsmen for the purpose. But in
spite of it all Bob White had a
hard time. Just what happened in
Ohio I am anxious to find out, but
I fear that with quail declared a
song bird there would not be much
organized effort to keep quail alive
such as we have had in many coun
ties in Pennsylvania."
Dr. Kalbfus voiced the opinion
that many pheasants and wild tur
keys got through the winter fairly
well and did not think that deer r.nd
bear were badly hit. The game had
found since the coming of
spring to be in fair shape. The
state's plans for propagation tire
working out as the pheasants which
have been held in captivity during
the winter are being sent out and
more are due from other states. A
large number of wild turkeys arc
being distributed in southern coun
ties. The Mexican quail will be here
before long. Many requests have
come for them.
Just as an illustration of the In
terest being taken in Pennsylvania
in the proposition to close the coun
ties to the shooting of ruffed grouse
for a year, every county but one in
which that game bird is found, has
received a petition, in some cases
ten, and they are being circulated.
It is expected that every county ex
cept Philadelphia will petition the
Gamo Commission to close the season
for two years. In some counties
where sportsmen say there are only
half a dozen grouse petitions have
been asked because the writers, say
they want to keep what they have.
The idea is to group the petitions
and have the Commission act some
time in April.
According to what has been heard
here as soon as counties are form
ally closed by the Commission,
which will be done after hearings
are given and formalities in the
act complied with, a number of
sportsmen propose to secure ruffed
grouse and propagate them so that
there will be hunting about 19 20
or 1921. The State Game authori
ties have been conducting an in
dustrious search for grouse in var
ious states, but everywhere the men
in charge seem desirous of holding
on to what they have.
One of the things which has at
tracted comment here is that so few
stories of big bucks or bear shot
have come to Harrisburg. Gener
ally there are all kinds of hunting
■stories, but this year, probably due
to the early coming of severely cold
winter weather and deep snows the
usual crop of hunting stories was
not told and the hunting history of
Pennsylvania remains unenrichad.
A fruitful source of discussion is
whether more bucks were not killed
than reported. The returns of war
dens showed 1,725 deer killed, but
it is thought that close to 1,800 were
shot. After the lists were made up
some Forestry Department reports
showed better shooting. The num
ber of bear killed has been a sur
prise to people in other states, who
have written here remarking upon
the fact that over 350 were shot.
Comparatively little criticism has
come here about the operation of
the new game code and the im
pression seems to be that it should
be permitted to stand the test of at
least four years.

Writes Home of Training
Work in Santo Domingo,
Where Life Is Strange
Harrisburg men In service and out
of it will envy the situation of'Alvin
Gottsehall. newspaperman and son of
Mi's. Mary Gottsehall, 3105 North Sec
ond street, who was one of the first
to eniist last year, his station being
on the Island of Santo Domingo. This
spot is one of the quaintest and most
romantic in any of the Seven Seas,
and now being under American rule,
all this told of it becomes important.
Writing on January 30, he says:
"We have returned from the rille
range, where it was like living on
the farm. We are now getting the
best of food, and I never felt better,
happier or more contented in all my
life. The boys of the One Hundred
and Thirteenth Company have now
had time to get well acquainted, and
it is certainly a line crowd. The, men
are from all parts of the United
States, but are of the same mind. Each
Is a good friend of the other man.
Tliere are chaps from Boston, a Har
vard man, and fellows from the back
hills of Tennessee and Texas. You
should hear them when they talk
their various dialects. Our leisure
hours are a continuous round of fun.
"We are bathing in the Caribbean
Sea every day on a wonderful beach
across from the fort. To-day is
stormy, and just now a sailing ship
was driven on the rocks right near
us. The crew all escaped, after des
perate struggles, and the ship is now
being slashed into kindling wood
against the rocks. Yesterday there
was a religious parade: looked like
every nation in the parade, following
the banners and candles. The streets
were choked with people and Incense
was burned everywhere. The night
before we heard music everywhere un
til after daybreak, when there were
fandangoes going on.
"They are a merry, happy, pleas
ure-loving people here, and life in the
city is quite gay, as in Spain, although
there is an uncommon change when
one gets into the interior. There the
people are black, very ignorant and
live almost as primitively as Indians.
"We have In our company an Epis
copal minister, who Is not afraid to
tight, cotnes from the Middle West
and does a good deal of preaching be
tween duties. I found here a little
eolonv of Spanish and English-speak
ing negroes, who caipe from the Vir
gin Islands. They are the only Protes
ants on tl* island; Moravians and
Methodists, a branch of the A. M. E.
in the States."
A second letter is written from the
village of Aqua, of that provhice, on
February 9, after a long, tedious trip
over the mountains of the island. The
trip was a "series of determined
■drives from one water hole to an
other," through stemming heat with
plenav of cactus and wild goats, palms
and sugar cane. The. company will
likely stay in this province for some
time,' as one tasK, set.before them is
to run down a famous bandit, the last
one in Santo Domingo.

O'NEILL RESIGNS
CAMP COMMAND
Allentown Officer, Physically
Unable to Stand Strain
Leaves Hancock
Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga.,
March 25. —The resignation of Brig
adier General Christopher T. O'Neill,
commander of the infan
try brigade, was announced from
division headquarters at Camp Han
cock yesterday. He is to leave at
once for his home in Allentown.
While no cause for the general's
resignation has been ascribed, either
officially or by General O'Neill him
self. officers are of the opinion that
he 'is leaving the service because he
realizes that with his years he would
be unable to withstand the hardships
of a vigorous war campaign over
seas.
. General O'Neill is the second com
mander of the Fifty-fifth brigade to
resign since the reorganization. It
is composed of the One Hundred
and Ninth regiment, the men main
ly being Philadelphians, and the
One Hundred and Tenth regiment,
men from the middle sections of
Pennsylvania.
Until a successor to General
O'Neill is appointed, the brigade will
be commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
Wallace W. Fetzer. The most like
ly successor to General O'Neill, so
far as could be learned to-day, is
Colonel Edward L. King, chief of
staff. Although Colonel King is from
Massachusetts, he has won the high
regard of all the Pennsylvania offi
cers. lie is a regular army officer,
having risen from the ranks and
has an experience of twenty-five
years in the service.
Other resignations and honorable
discharges for the week at Camp
Hancock were announced yesterday
as follows:
Captain William T. Earl, One
Hundred and Third supply train. It
is announced that his resignation
was accepted "for the good of the
service." Captain Earl is from Mor
ristown.
Lieutenant Harry I. Seiber, Lan
caster, One Hundred and Third sup
ply train, resigned.
Lieutenant Irwin E. Beaman,
Heading, One Hundred and Eighth
machine gun battalion, honorable
discharge.
Lieutenant Harry E. Robb. Hunt
ingdon. One Hundred and Tw'elfth
infantry, resigned.
Lieutenant William S. Houser,
Philadelphia, One Hundred and
Tenth infantry, resigned. Lieutenant
Houser was formerly attached to the
Third infantry brigade.
