Over Due
A large order for Sterling Tires
L/that was placed some weeks ago by
the Keystone Sales Company, at
108 Market street, has Just been re

the standard sizes of Sterling tires
and tubes. With traffic conditions as
they are at present, this is welcome
news to the motorist that has been
waiting for Sterling tires.
The Sterling tire was introduced
to Harrlsburg sometime ago but for
the last month or so the local rep
resentative of the Sterling tire cor
poration has been unable to secure
shipments on this product and has
had to turn down numerous orders,
but announces to-day that he will
be able to fill all orders from now on.
The same service will be rendered
on Sterling tires as heretofore. All
adjustments will be made at the
store rooms of the Keystone Sales
Company, and all the repair work as
per the guarantee will also be taken
care of locally.
It is not true that all cars
drive and handle alike. We
will prove it to you if you
will get behind the wheel
for half an hour. Have you

SA TURDAY EVENING,
Motor Fire Truck Helps
Safeguard Great Plant
Modern factory construction of
reinforced concrete equipment with
sprinkler systems, hose stations, au
tomatic alarms, etc., render a de
structive Are well nigh Impossible—
provided the blaze is detected and
quenched in its Incipient state. Many
manufacturers have gone even far
ther than the mechanical and struc
tural safeguards, and have organiz
ed factory Are departments.
All of the protective means and
measures been adopted In the
great plant of Dodgfe Brothers at
Detroit, which is as nearly fireproof
as modern construction can make it.
In addition, a motor fire truck is
always ready, day and night, to
speed to the scene of a blaze. It
has been placed in service not be
cause of abnormal liability to or In
crease in the number of fires, but as
a measure of greater efficiency.
The truck is built on a Dodge
Brothers chassis, and carries a com
pete fire fighting outfit, from small
hand extinguishers to 800 feet of
2 1-2-Inch hose. It is painted the
regulation fire department red, with
brass trimmings, and could easily be
taken for a standard fire truck be
longing to a city Are department.
Apparently nothing useful or es
sential In fire-lighting has been
omitted from its equipment. This
includes two 35-gallon chemical
tanks, with 2 1-2 inch base connec
tion; two 2 1-2-gallon extinguishers
on air pressure; six one-quart ex
tinguishers; 500 feet of 2 1-2-lnch
liose in 50-foot lengths; 200 feet of
one-inch chemical hose in 50-foot
lengths; 100 feet of 5-8-inch rope
for hose lines; nozzles, hose holders,
spanner wrenches, hydrant reducers,
axes, crowbars, wire cutters and
rubber gloves, lanterns, etc., together
with a 26-foot extension ladder, a
fii%t aid kit and a stretcher.
Friction is a Poor Passenger
to Haul Around in Your Car
"No matter what kind of a car
you drive, how many passengers it
holds, or where or when you drive,
there's an extra passenger along
with you," says a local garage man.
. "It's old man friction. You can't
see him, but you can notice the ef
fect of his sly, damaging tactics. He
runs up your gasoline and repair
bills and wears out your car a lot
quicker as long as he has his own
way.
"Friction must be eliminated by
the use of a good lubricant, and I
have found the graphite lubricants
manufactured by the Dixon Com
pany most effective. The selected
tlake graphite In the grease forms an
unusually long-wearing coating that
keeps the metal contact surfaces
from the rasping grind that wears
away the parts. Graphite is espe
cially good for cars used to travel
ing a hilly country."

for D. A. Frantz, of Lebanon. This
. consisted of a large furniture bddy
ten feet long and four feet wida
, with a height ot six feel, inis was
i only one of several large orders for
| truck bodies of different kinds. Prac-
Itically every kind of commercial
bodies are being turned out at this
works.
A specialty that is given consider
able attention at the Fair works is
j the taking out of dents in wrecked
autos. Special equipments for thU
purpose has been installed and very
i serviceable work is being turned
I out. Recently a wrecked machine
: belonging to e. H. Wyant of Mount
, Union was straightened out to the
! entire satisfaction of the owner,
i This car was in a bad wreck and
looked like a hopeless case but after
I It was finished at the Fair works it
| looked like a new car.
Several other big Jobs are now
j in the course of reconstruction tak-
I ing out dents that will inevitably
! get into a car no matter how good
j a driver you may be. In an lnter
! view with Mr. Fair recently, he
said:
"X understand a very prominent
man of Harrlsburg who owns a'
large Packard Limousine had the
misfortune of getting a large dent
in the back. He took it to Philadel
phia to be repaired and had to wait
over a month until It was returned.
A very unsatlsfacttory job it was,
and when he found out that we
could do the same kind of work and
have it completed in a few days and
make a real Job, too, he made the.
remark that his work would not go'
to Philadelphia again." '

ROAD SIGNALS
TO BE ADOPTED
Overland President Suggests
Universal National
System
John N. Willys, president of the
Willys-Overland Company, has sug
gested that the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce recommend
for universal national adoption
three simple road signals, which
will increase the safety of traffic.
Mr. Willys suggests, arm polnUng
ip. turn to the right; arm straight
out, turn to the left; arm down,
slow down without turning.
These Blgnals have the advantage
of common use by a large number
of automobile drivers. They are the
most natural signals and the easiest
to remember. They have already
been adopted by a number of local
automobile clubs. The approval of
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce will bring the signals
very rapidly into universal use, and
it Is likely that this action will he
followed by their recognition by law
all over the United States. Traffic
officials say that the standard adopt
ion or a universal road signal of
this character will prevent many
minor accidents and greatly increase
the safety.and convenience of travel
in congested streets.
Service Flag on Barred
Door Tells Wonderful Story
James Newton Gunn, president

who, like other executives of his
company, practices what he preaches
■by using his car to the relief of the

pany's various plants, is the discov
erer of a picture that is really an
epic, and eloquent of the times.
Back In the hills of Connecticut,
the tire man came across a little
roadside gasoline service station,
picturesquely set In a hollow, the
familiar "red sentry" guarding a
neat structure, lonesomely standing
with boarded windows and barred
door. Placed squarely across the
door was a service flag bearing a
single star.

sey, a Carlisle grocer, was given a
hearing by Cumberland County Food
Administration officials at the rec
ommendation of the state adminis

of the rule in this respect and the
case was adjusted by the making
of a voluntary contrbution of $25
to the American Red Cross. With
{230 secured from alleged sugar
hoarders some weeks ago, the new
contribution brings the total secured
for the Red Cross through the food
administration to $250 in less than

President Robert A. Enders and

the city school board, were appoint
ed as a committee to confer with
Commissioner S. F. Gassier for an
explanation of the new water rate
charges. Bills against the district
presented at the board meet
ing yesterday and because of the
"ready to serve" bharge made by
the city water department under a
new city rate ordinance the* directors
decided to arrange for a conference
Ito see whether rates to the district
could not be lowered.
City Superintendent P. E. Downes
reported that there are three vacan
cies on the Central High school fac
ulty and four at Technical High
school which must be filled and said
a special meeting of the board may
be called In a few weeks. At Central
the vacancies are In the domestic
science, French and commercial de
partments; at Technical High school
two in English, one in mathematics
and one in physical geography. A
number of teachers were elected as
recommended by Dr. Downes and
seven girls from the Central High
school graduating class were admit
ted to the Teachers' Training school.
Dr. Downes explained that the low
salary offered and the fact that
| graduates of the training school
[ must take state examinations for
several years, were responsible for
the small number entering the
school. Three resignations were ac
cepted.
It was decided to use river coal at
the school for one
of the boilers affecting a saving of
about $3,000. on award
ing a contract for 800 tons of coal
whs deferred pending an Investiga
tion of one of the bids received.
All the present janitors were re
appointed and three vacancies caused
by deaths were filled as follows:
John Deckard, assistant at Cameron
building; William Nowers, assistant
at Central; B. E. Smith, Riverside
building.
Dr. Downes announced that 763
had qualified for entrance to the
High schools in September, and 80
more who are conditioned will be
re-examined in August. Two new
schools will be opened for sixth and
seventh grade pupils at the Harris
and Shlmmell buildings. Figures to
taled by Dr. Downes show that pupils
exclusive of the High schools have
bought Thrift Stamps to the amount
of more than $33,000.
The action of the State Board of
Education which recommended that
the next Legislature Increase school
appropriations to the extent of pay
ing 25 per cent, of the teachers' sal
aries in the respective school dis
tricts of the state, was heartily en
i dorsed In a resolution passed by the
directors.
New equipment for the open air
school as recommended by Architect
C. Howard Lloyd, was purchased,
and bonds of C. E. Weber, tax col
lector and treasurer, were approved
and their cost ordered to be paid.
A resolution giving leaves of ab
sence to all teachers who desire to
engage In government war work
other than clerical work, was passed
unanimously. They are to 'be rein
stated upon their return if they de
sire.
The monthly report of Treasurer
Weber showed expenditures of $106,-
552.12, leaving a balance of $467,-
367.44 in the school general fund.
The balance In the teachers' retire
ment fund is $4,019,98, the monthly
.expenditures being $835.57 to annui
tants, and $4,689.78 Invested In Lib.

PAPERS URGED
TO CUT OUTPUT
War Industries Board Sug
gests Elimination of Free
and Return Copies
Washington, July 6.—As a first
step in the sweeping program for
conservation of newsprint paper that
may lead to definite limitations as
to the size and circulation of all
newspapers, the War Industries Board
has made public a letter to all pub
lishers suggesting the elimination of
all free and return copies.
Other economies are to be suggest
ed through the pulp and paper sec
tion, headed by William B. Colver,
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission. As yet none of them has
been made obligatory and effort Is to
be made to enforce them through
patriotic co-operation of the various
newspaper owners and publishers.
Elimination of reorders, the furnish
ing of addiUonal copies above orig
inal orders to dealers or newsboys
who sell out early may be the next
step.
Sire I/lniit Planned
It.ls known that the pulp and pa-
per section is considering ways and
means of placing a limit on the size
of all news publications. Difficulty
is being found in working out one
that will be equitable.
The letter to publishers states that 1
"it is necessary that all newspapers
which publish a daily and weekly
edition put the following preliminary
economies into effect July 15, 1918:
"Discontinue the acceptance of the
return of unsold copies.
"Discontinue the use of all sam
ples or free promotion copies.
"Discontinue giving copies to any
body except for office working copies
or where required by statute law In
the case of official advertising.
Copies For Dealers
"Discontinue giving free copies to
advertisers except not more than one
copy each for checking purposes.
"Discontinue the arbitrary forcing
of copies on newsdealers (1. e., com
pelling them to buy more copies .than
they can legitimately sell in order to
hold certain territory).
"Discontinue the buying back of
papers at either wholesale or retail
selling price from dealers or agents
. In order to secure preferenUal repre
sentation.
"Discontinue the payment of salar
ies or commission to agents, dealers
or newsboys for™he purpose of se
curing the equivalent of return priv
: ileges.
"Discontinue all free exchanges.".
