From the first Liberty Loan drive in Denver, it has served in every possible way to aid in push ing to a successful culmination every government activity. Lately it was ,decorated with the national colors and took part in an entertain ment attended by 1.'i.000 people. In the car were men dressed to repre sent our Allies.

THE GLOBE It Is' Interesting to Note That Few "New Owners" Buy CADILLAC Cars Most CADILLACS are sold to those who have tried and failed to get complete satisfaction in other cars at either higher or lower prices. The "new owner" is often sold on the basis that "this Pepper ton is a lot for the money." ' No car can give more for the money than the CADILLAC, j That is proved by the way the experienced automobile buyers gravitate to us. Why not cash-in on the other fellow's experience? Experience is expensive.

Cadillac Ease of Control Amounts to a Fascination • CRISPEN MOTOR CAR CO. 311-315 South Cameron Street I SATURDAY EVENING* Fire Departments Using Maxwell Trucks Altogether Fire department* using motor truck equlpmont—as moat of them now do—demand one quality above all others reliability and the con stantly Increasing demand for Max well trucks fof this work Is dis tinct recognition of its sturdlness of construction and its suitability for a service which requires more of a truck than do other lines of vehicu lar work. Every section of the country is now numbered in the long list of Maxwell users for fire-fighting work and reports of performance are most satisfactory both to the company and to the municipalities which are using the trucks. Fire chiefs are most enthusiastic over the "always dependable" qualities of the Max well. Though a prophet may be without honor in his own country, this is not necessarily true of motortrucks and the fact is proven because De troit now uses three Maxwells in its fire department with the chance of many more being so employed. In the West and Middle West, many pieces of fire apparatus are camel to and from fires on the Maxwell chassis and San Antonio, Texas, has prescribed seven Maxwells for the protection of Hfe and property in that southern city. There cap be no slip-up in fire fighting work. Li\es may depend on the prompt arrival of apparatus as well as a prevention of increased property loss. Therefore, the strictest inquiries are made into ihe possibilities and probabilities of performance of trucks offered for fire department work. The saving of lives and the protecting of property are among the first functions of any muni cipality and to be a helper in tnis splendid work has become one of the latest missions of the Maxwell. Chief H. M. Walker, of the Pierre, South Dakota, department has sum med up the situation concisely in a letter in which he states, "I am using a Maxwell Truck for fire-fight ing here and I find it is just right."

PLACES OPEN TO HURT SOLDIERS State Authorities Hjjvc Ar ranged For Work For Over 42,000 of Them Already Pennsylvania has 42,111 places open in its industries for any sol diers or sailors who may be dis abled in the war, according to of ficers of the employment bureau of the State Department of Labor and Industry. More than half of these are available to men who may be crippled. They call for skilled men and training will be provided. The places range from factories to store, including even dairies. The places are the result of a call by tl.e State upon industries and it is announced as follows: "On March 1, the total number of employment openings, so classified, was 30,710. This number has in creased to 42,111 to May 1. and is constantly growing, as replies are still being received. Every Penn sylvania employer who can give em ployment to war cripples, handi capped, by various disabilities, is urged to notify, at once, the De partment of Labor and Industry, Harrisburg. "The report of the progress of this work in Pehnsylvania—the first state in the Union to co-operate act ively with the National authorities in the effort to prevent war cripples from being shunted merely into by product industrial tasks—was sub mitted to Acting Commissioner Lew R. Palmer, of the Department of Labor and Industry, by Jacob Light ner. Director of the Bureau of Em ployment. The report was in turn transmitted by Acting Commissioner Palmer to Adjutant General Frank D. Beary, Chairman of the Pennsyl\a nia State Committee on Reconstruc tion, Re-education and Re-employ ment of Crippled Soldiers. Sailors and Marines. That committee in cluding Acting 'Health Commission er IJ. Erank Boyer; Acting Commis sioner r>f Labor and Industry Lew R. Palmer and Dr. J. George Becht. Secretary of the State Board of Education, has general supervi sion of the reconstruction program for the Commonwealth. "The National authorities are planning to equip each disabled sol dier and sailor with every suitable appliance to bring his physical ef ficiency to a maximum and to give him suitable treatment and training to adapt him for tasks in industry he can most advantageously per form. From the classified employ ment lists of the Department of La bor and Industry, each Pennsylvania soldier .sailor and marine, disabled in war service will be able to ob tain. from thousands of openings, in his home state, a task for which he is best suited physically, a task that will give him greatest financial return according to his capability and probably in the city or town where he most desires to reside. "The questionnaire sent to em ployers by the Department of Labor and Industry, designated 3S general classes of disability which might re sult from war wounds to handicap the. soldier or sailor when he de sires to engage in industrial work. These disabilities include loss of one or both of upper extremities in whole or in part, stiffness of upper extremities in whole or in part, loss of one or both of lower extremities in whole or in part, blindness of one or both eyes, deafness of one or both ears, loss' of speech, repulsive facial disfigurements, hernia and general health impairment which would pre vent heavy manual labor."

H|| Jl jf* U9 O DKNTAL 111 A OFFICES flfe MAItKET STKKKT Heavy Trucks Do Less To Roads Than Touring Cars It Is an error to lay the blame upon heavy-duty motor trucks for dam age to the roads of America, in the opinion of William B. llurlburt, president of the llurlburt Motor Truck' Company, of New York. This company manufacturers trucks all the way up to seven tons capacity, and one of its seven-ton models, on a recent afternoon trip to Bridge port and return, a distance of 115 miles, carried a Bullard boring mill weighing almost nine tons with ex tras. In commenting upon this combin-! . ed weight of practically IK tons,!, and the effect upon the roads, Mr. llurlburt said: "That big truck at 12 I miles per hour did not injure the | roads nearly as much as would bej 1 the case with a passenger car tearingi ' through the country at 45 miles per 1 hour. The truck does not jump as | 1 it runs along. It rolls steadily and h in fact benefits the roads by rolling! them down and packing them hard.j In earlier days when the Vanderbilt races were held on the tine roads of Bong Island, the best roads in Amcri-j ca, the racing cars in a half-day of j high speeding put the roads in such condition that they were sadly in | need of repairs, although perfect in every way when the race started. Toi my mind this is a good example of the effects of high driving of passen ger cars over the roads. The passen-1 ger car, in the same manner as the! racing car, tears along and jumps l ahead and from side to side, and j loosens the surfacing to that point > where every wind blows much of the •surface away. I drove passenger cars at the highest speed for many years, and was wont to comment upon the I fact that the high speed of passen ger cars tore the roads to pieces, and j to-day, when all of this discussion, arises, I am forced to realize that I j was right then, and I know I am j right now in saying that our heavy-! duty trucks, of which over SOO are | using the roads in and around the j metropolis, are in reality benefiting] the macadam roads rather than in juring them. 1 do believe though,! that the roads of the future are go- j ing to be what are today known as j "Wayne County Concrete" roads, for I that sort of road has already been! demonstrated in Wayne county, I Mich., as practically everlasting.! There are roads there to-day that! were laid at about the time I re-I moved from Detroit to New York j in the earlier days of the automobile j business, and they are still good. Al-j though the heavy trucks will be • shown in time to be beneficial to; the roads rather than detrimental,! the concrete will become universal 1 pavement, due to its economic fea-1 tures alone. Time is money, and! concrete aids in making better time with loaded trucks, and in this cut-1 ting down the operating expenses; very materially." INCREASE IV STAMP SALES Tower City, Pa., May 11.
