You can't replace them if they
"go bad" entirely. But you

Perry County Road
Rates Attacked
Complaint that the Newport and
Sherman's Valley Railroad, a narrow
gauge line in Perry county, was
charging rates which' are excessive,
was filed with the Public Service
Commission to-day by a Newport
manufacturing concern, which also
raised the point that the tariff be
came effective four days before the
railway was released from Federal
administration, and that it has
not been changed. The complaint is
the first of the kind to be filed.
Hearing was held to-day on the first
complaint filed against a ferry com
pany, it being charged by the borough
and citizens of Millersburg that the
Miilersburg-Liverpool Ferry Com
pany, known as the Hunter and Radel
Ferry Company, had a schedule of
rates unjust and excessive and that
its shedule was unsatisfactory.
Plenty was said about the service
rendered by the ferry and its erratic
timetable, while the rates charged
appeared to be a sensitive point with
a number of persons. This ferry has
been used, or tried to be used, by a
number of people from HarrUburg at
divers times.

CAPITOL IS HIT
IN REGISTRATION
Many Men Have to Go to Their
Homes to Enter Their '
Names on the Lists
Dozens of men connected with de
partments of the government left
Harrlsburg for their homes to-day to
register their names under the new
draft law, while others who had pre
pared their papers here forwarded
them to the draft boards of their
new districts. The first draft af
fected the departments on Capitol
Hill lightly, but the present taking
in men from 31 to 46, to all intents
and purposes, will have a much
greater bearing.
Major K. G. Murdock, the chief
draft officer for the state, in a final
word to-day said that the draft
meant that ail men who have at
tained their 18th birthday and not
their 4 6th must register, excepting
of course those who registered un
der the first draft law.
"It Is to be hoped that local
boards will register men in import
ant munitions plants and on rail
roads as rapidly as possible. They
need not wait until to-morrow, but
can register them now to avoid shut
downs," said he. "Large employers
should see that their men are regis
tered and can arrange for registra
tion inside of works. And lastly men
should register to-morrow bcfdfe 5
p, m. if possible. Everyone knows
.what the final two hours rush at an
election precinct is like. I hope
we can avoid that to-morrow.
All registration boards have been
called upon to report their registra
tion by telegraph to Major Murdock.
Fifteen Young Men Are
Called to U. S. Navy
No less than fifteen more young
men of this section have left within
the past few days or will leave to
morrow to enroll for training against
the Hun. This number of youths of
this section enrolled in the Naval Re
serves, have been called into active
service. Most of them enrolled for
service at the Jocal Naval Recruiting
Station several months ago.
Some of them have already gone to
Pier 19. Philadelphia, while the re
mainder of them will go to-morrow.
Those already there have been sent to
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
tion and the others are expected to
be detailed to the same place for
training.
