I Entire Crew of Canadian Armed Car Is Killed by Germans in Brilliant Fight rtriU-.li \rmy Headquarters in France, April I.—Canadian armed motor cars with rapid firers have played an important purt in check ing tlie German rush. Frequently they held up large bodies of German troops on being rushed to threatened parts of the front. One of these armed ears found it self in a certain village lllied with German infantry. All the crew were killed with the exception of the driver and one gunner. When the capture of the car seemed certain, the gunner took his heavy rapid firer to the ground, where he he!u off large numbers of the enemy until the driver was able lo turn the auto mobile around. This done, the ma chine gun was thrown into the car oud the two men sped away. | The battery of another car which | had dismounted and was fighting ! the Germans with machine guns ran out of ammunition. The Germans closed in. coming up to such short distance that they were shooting with revolvers. The situation was hopeless but the gallant Canadians were not to be taken alive. They seized spare barrets of machine guns and charged the Germans with these weapons. They were of course no match for an enemy heavily armed and all of them were killed I'p to yesterday the daring crews ' of these lighting machines had slept only about 26 hours since the sec ond day's attack. On the first day, the:-e cars in con siderable numbers were rushed to the right flank below the Sommc. where the situation was most criti cal. They at once got into the thick of the fighting. At Maricottrt, just north of the Somme. the Germans were threatening to cut off large numbers of heavy guns and tanks. A battfcry of these cars gathered 150 infantrymen about it and took up a ! stand east of the village, remaining there until the guns and tanks were withdrawn safe';, and then making off. At one point the Germans were massing for an attack, when two cars crept up within close range and enfiladed their ranks. German ar tillery shelled the ears, knocking out one and forcing the other to withdraw, but not until they had done great execution. At Cerisy, one Canadian motor car held back an entire enemy battalion which was attempting to cross the canal. XO APRIL FIRST JOKE H was April 1 and the stockhold ers of the Harrisburg Railways Company received the following note in their morning mail from,the secretary of the company: "The directors of your company, at their meeting of March 21, de cided not to pay a dividend on pre ferred stock on April 1. Owing to the increased cost of operating the road during the.past year, due to tin high price of all materials and supplies, increased wages paid to niiployes, and. in view of the un certainty of the future as to the company's cash requirements, your ilirectots thought it inadvisable to dit 11 ilitite at this time any earnings available from the last six months, or to declare a dividend from the accumulated surplus." City Has No Place of Refuge For Poor Women I -at * last nic lit. when the Asso ciated Aid doors were closed, a mother with her two small children applied to the police station for lodging.

The police say that there is a great cry for an establish ment where cases of this sort may be temporarily cared for.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Meatless Days Suspended For Thirty Days in Effort to Conserve Wheat Supply Meatless days are entirely sus pended for the nfext thirty days, be ginning to-day, according to a tele gram sent by Herbert Hoover, Fed- I eral Food Administrator, to the food for Pennsylvania.

I" IN CONSIDERING investments, J.jj choose safety first, then the best a lIIIS SIOCK IS ft income you can get without sacri foundation lien flcing safety ' | - ' The preferred stock of the Re upon assets or public Rubber Corporation is a |S ,i £•£ foundation lien upon the company's SllOrC than 111- assets of more than fifteen million i -11: dollars. There are no bonds ahead teen million dol- g of however, is common lars. No bonds stock ' h f™f a bo ° k va '"f of a P" proximately four million dollars. ahead of it. For many years, previous to the con- solidation, the principal constituent of the Republic Rubber Corporation paid 8 per i cent on its common stock. The consolidation has effected economies of operation and provided the capacity to take care of a 50 per cent increase in the business. The requirements of motor truck and pleasure car manu facturers, in connection with huge war orders, together with the normal increase in its business, have placed the corporation in position to reap | the full benefit of its added manufacturing facilities. We, therefore, con fidently expect the Republic Rubber Corporation to make a remarkably strong showing. At present it is earning largely in excess of its preferred dividend needs, and in our opinion, this stock is a very desirable investment. The permanency of the rubber business is fixed for all time. No com- 1 modity, with the possible exception of iron and steel, has such universal application to the needs of mankind. • The mechanical uses for rubber are almost numberless, and the permanent demand of motor vehicle manufac- 1 turers for pneumatic and solid rubber tires has cemented the rubber indus try on its present secure foundation. d We believe the stock of a well conducted rubber enterprise offers the investor unexcelled security and great opportunities for profit from in creased values. We, therefore, recommend the preferred stock of the Republic Rubber Corporation as a safe, conservative investment, yielding 7 per cent income; free from normal Federal Income Tax. Upon request we shall be glad to send our booklet, giving detailed information about this desirable stock. The Geiger-Jones Company Investment Securities Canton, Ohio ( C. L.
