CELEBRATE JEWISH I A VDINft The members of the congregation of Ohev Sholom Temple, Second and South streets, last night celebrated the two hundred and sixty-third an niversary of the landing of the Jew ish forefathers in this country. MUST SOLVE BIG ROAD PROBLEM Good Highways Keynote to Transportation by Big Motortrucks "I sometimes tvonder whether we Americans appreciate the full signi ficance of these momentous times," said Carl Hanson, president of the Harrisburg-Overland Co., local dis tributors for Garford trucks, recently in speaking of the many big prob lems which are confronting us to day. "There is a great saving factor to be taken into consideration," con tinued Hanson. "We have taken the cold plunge and been brought face to face with the grim necessities of war. But here, the problems are not those of immediate need for the de fense of our homes and firesides but rather those of striving to meet the need for unheard of industrial ac tivity. "Naturally these problems are im portant but we have an opportunity to realize our weaknesses and turn them Into strength, before they can defeat us. Along- with these big facts we are boldly facing just now lias come an era of activity in all lines which if properly turned to advantage will make this the greatest nation on the face of the earth in; years to come both industrially and] commercially. The government Is spending billions of dollars. Every body Is busier than ever before. Everyone will Instantly agree that there is every reason for the great est business optimism. They will also agree that we have a battle before us which Is worth our best efforts to win. I do not only refer to the struggle in the trenches, but the tremendous responsibility we must face as a manufacturing nation.. "As a great nation of business men we must get our house in order and to get it in order, we must speed up all kinds of transportation, for here lies one of the greatest weak nesses which must be speedily remedied. We have had an opportu nity to study the best remedies for this situation and to take the nec essary steps to correct it. "During the winter just passed we have had a fine opportunity to wit ness great developments in using our national highways to help in straightening out tied up transpor tation. Trucks operating over the open roads have proved themselves dependable freight haulers and now has come the demand for truck trains -operating on regular schedules between cities. This is being suc cessfully conducted in all parts of the country. "Philadelphia. New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Bos 'ton, and many other enterprising communities have already establish ed this method of hauling. Some of the companies not only have very definite schedules under which they are dally operating, but have figured the accurate cost of hauling. In some of these cities they find that this form of transportation compares favorably with express time In ship ment and can be taken care of at considerably less cost. There Is one argument which is decidedly in fa vor of the truck. That Is the fact that it saves an immense amount of hauling. The goods are loaded at the shipping point, carried to their destination and unloaded directly at the concern to which they are con signed, saving twq hauls, two load ings and two unload ings. "In order to have this truck trans port a success however, we must be gin to take Into consideration the matter of highway improvement as this is the most vital part of the entire program. We must devote every energy to the better roads movement for our whole system of industrial activity is greatly depen dent upon our roads." Summing up the matter, Mr. Han son pointed out the fact that there Is every reason to feel the proper kind of optimism. That we must, how ever do our utmost to aid In clear ing up the transportation situation by Immediate attention to our high ways. Tells of Big Part Jews Played in U. S. History Liberty Day gave the services at Ohev Sholom Temple last night a par ticular significance, which was made liberal use of by Rabbi L*>uls J. Haas, who gave most interesting facts re garding Jewish liberality tn similar crises. Hayra Solomon, he related, was the first Liberty Bond ouyer in this country. When Robert Morris was in dire straits for funds to main tain the Revolutionary War, he found help from this wealthy .Tew, who gave in all $600,000 to establish democracy in America. At the present time, from 2% to 3 per cent, of the nation's population is Jewish. Five per cent, of the men in service are Jewish and 30 per cent, of them are commissioned or non commissioned officers. The rabbi also told how two Spanish Jews really financed Columbus' expedition, and stated that a Jew was the first white man to step ashore in the New World. His talk had the object of calling for more buying of Liberty Bonds and more intense sacrifice among all Hebrews to win the war speedily. DR. SHRAHKK lOXONEHATED Dr. A. L.

Mon day, was exonerated of all blame in the accident by a coroner's jury yes terday. - STORAGE ALL ACCOMMODATIONS LIGHT —HEAT—FREE AIR RATES REASONABLE Hoffman Garage Seventh and Camp Sts. OPEN DAY AND NIGHT —————— July First May Sse Auto Stocks Exhausted "Dally developments serve to con firm our earlier predictions that this year will witness an automobile shortage more acute than any the Industry has experienced within the last several years," says L. H. Hagcr ling, local distributor for the Hudson car. 'From the present indications it seems certain that .by July 1 all stocks of the most popular cars will have been exhausted and that from that date on dealers and buyers will have to depend upon limited pro ductions to meet their wants. "Because of war conditions a cur tailment was made in the produc tion schedules of every manufactur er in the industry. No maker had planned to produce as many cars this year as were built last year. But now even those greatly reduced schedules have been so interrupted by one in fluence or another that it will be im possible to make up what has been lost. "Four working days were taken out in January because of the fuel holidays. No factories are to op erate Mondays during February or March. That is equivalent to tho loss of half a month. But it is not the only serious influence which is halting production. "The most serious condition from which there seems to be no escape is that resulting from freight embar goes. Embcvgoes are placed on ship ments without notice and for indefi nite perlpds. A dealer may feel that if be gives his factory instructions to ship him cars on some future definite date that his wants will be taken care of. But before the date of shipment, an embargo may make it impossible. Whole sections involv ing as much territory as two or three states in a group have been embar goed against automobile shipments for weeks at a time. Start Certifying Names to Counties Certification of tho names of the candidates for the nominations to be made at the May primary in whose behalf petitions were filed in the of fice of tho Secretary of the Common wealth will 'be started to-day at the Capitol.

Tne names of candi dates for congressional, senatorial and legislatlye nominations will be certified according to their districts as will candidates for election to .members of the state committees. The certifications will be sent to the commissioners of each county who will have charge of the printing of the ballots. The primary will be held on May 21 and the printing will be started promptly in many of the counties.
