Why People Buy Used Cars €J They buy them because they want a car with all the latest improvements— a good car in appearance and perform ance—and yet they do not want to pay the price of such a car new. CJ But great care has to be taken in buy ing a used car. You want to know the truth about what you are buying. CJ We always tell the truth about each used car—and a car is not sold until it has been overhauled and put into first class shape throughout. <JWe handle many used cars because they pave the way for more new car sales. We sell them so that the man who buys of us sends his friends here and comes again when he wants an other car.

LEGISLATURE NEWS WALKER'S BILLS STIR COMMENT Radical Changes Made in Ad dition to Compulsory Reg istration Requirement Much comment has been caused in the Legislature by the bills pre sented yesterday by Mr. Walker, Philadelphia, for changes in the election laws. It is intimated that more are coming and that the Philadelphian intends to make things lively. The bills will likely appear on the floor of the House soon. By one bill every qualified ejector in the state would be compelled' to register and vote at every general and municipal election and at every party primary or non-partisan pri mary. Failure to comply with the act is made punishable by a fine not exceeding $25,. in default of which the defendant must undergo im prisonment not exceeding ten days. An elector may be excused from voting or registering by reason of illness, disability or unavoidable ab sence on the registration and elec tion days. Illness or disability how ever must be established by the affi davit of a registered physician, and an absent elector must file an affi davit giving his reasons. All affi davits must be filed with the coun ty commissioners within 30 days after the Jast day for registration, or within 30 days of any election. If the county commissioners have reason to believe that any affidavit is false or does not constitute a suf ficient excuse, they must lay the matter before the district attorney who is directed to prosecute the of fender. The county commissioners, within GO days after the last regis tration day, or within 60 days after any election, to give the district at torney a list of names and resi dences of all persons who failed to register or vote and who failed to file affidavits and they are to be prosecuted. Employers in cities, boroughs and towns, must grant employes one hour, and those in townships must grant employes two hours, in which to register and the same time to vote. In all prosecutions involving the question of illness, disability or unavoidable absence, a jury must decide whether an excuse offered is sufficient. Mr. Walker also introduced a hill requiring that signatures to nomin ation petitions must be those of men! who have personally registered and are qualified .to vote at the next pre ceding general or municipal election. A third bill by the same author eliminates • the voters assistance clause from the primary election law, which requires an affidavit as to disability of the voter to mark his ballot. Passage of this bill would place primary election. No affi davit is now required at general or municipal elections. Another bill by Walker would require persons wishing to pre-empt the name of an independent party for the purpose of nominating by petitions to file an affidavit with the prothonotary of the proper county, before tho primary election, setting forth the name they desiro to use. Under the present law party names may be pre-empted after the pri mary and before the election. Senator Phipps, Venango, pre sented a bill amending the corrupt practices act to provide that if a candidate or political committee re ceives no contributions, nor makes any disbursements, the candidates and treasurer of tho committee, need file no account or affidavit.

Weaver, of West moreland, appropriates $20,000,000 and specifically states that one-halt of this amount is to be used this year and one-half in 1920, for the purpose of providing an addition to the salaries of all principals, teach ers, supervisors and directors of special sub jects in the employ of the several school districts of the com monwealth." Each district is to receive a sum equal to twenty-five per cent, of Its payroll for all persons specified in the year 1918. The sums are to be paid quarterly. It is left to the directors of each district to appor tion the money "as it may deem just and equitable. This would allow the directors to fix the salary in* crease. No payment of state mopey is to be made to any school district which reduces its salary schedule in effect in 1918. Any balance remain ing at the end of each year is to go to the njaintenance of the public schools. 1 Immediately after the passage of the bill, each school district must file with the superintendent of pub lic instruction a certificate showing the number of principals, teachers, supervisors and directors of special subjects in its employ and the com pensation paid for 1918. The for mer is to ascertain and apportion the amount due each district and certify it to the State Treasurer, who shall place the amounts to the cred it of the respective district. The superintendent also must notify each district of the amount alloted to it. Lemoyne Soldier Tells of 18 Months in France After eighteen months' fighting in France with Coast Artillery, Ralph H.
