The Premier line consists of a single chassis carrying three bodies. The engine is a six, 3*6x5%, and the wheelbase is 125% inches. No changes of importance have been made.

SATURDAY EVENING, Fourth and Kelker Streets, Eooth No. 14. The new Reo body designs are a very great departure from anything produced by the Reo in the past, and the material and workmanship in each job is a very noticeable im provement in every way. The chassis of the Reo remains virtually the same as in the last six or seven years. The Reo is buiit In a four cylinder chassis, with the following body types: Five-passenger touring, three-passenger roadster, five-pas senger sedan, five-passenger coupe. All of these bodies are equipped with latest improvements for convenience and comfort, and have received high indorsement where so* far displayed. The sedan is finished with the great est care for detail, and the French velour upholstery in the rear com partment and the high quality mo rocco leather in the front seat give the interior a rich appearance, while the finish of the exterior of the car leaves nothing to be desired. Saxon Hagerling Motor Car Co., distribu tors, 1137 Mulberry Street, Booth No. 8. The model T 18 Saxon is continued with several changes in the way of refinements. The gas tank has been changed from the cowl to the rear of the car and a Stewart vacuum tank is used.

The four-passenger roadster comes in a standard dark dark blue or beaver brown with white wire wheels. The upholstery is genuine leather. The side curtains are of the quick-acting type, carried in envelopes in the top.

A new seSan has been added, on the light four chassis and the light six chassis.

Inteeresting Sientific / Topics Discussed "What are the different sciences? What are the exact sciences?" asks , F. J. Brooklyn. i The word science, in its general i sense, means organized knowledge, ! but in its general use it is applied ' to one kind of knowledge only, viz., i that of natural phenomena, or the knowledge of things recognizable by '• the senses. This restriction is not Intended to i assert that there is no other kind of knowledge than that of physical phenomena, although it does imply | that no other kind has been put to | the test of experiment and estab i llshed by evidence verifiable to the ! senses. j In other words, science, as gen -1 erally defined to-day, is restricted ito what we can see, touch, hear, | smell, taste, and, by extension of j these fundamental senses, measure, i weigh, combjne, decompose, etc. As to anything beyond this is simply HXBJRISBURG Cfißh TEUEGRXPH THE DIXIE FLYER TOURING CAR THE AMERICAN SIX . says: "I know nothing of It, and. since I can get no hold upon It, It does not come within my province." It would be well for" the peace of mind of many thousands if Aey would talk science at its word and not persist in suspecting it of an intention or attempt to oppose or upset any belief lying outside Its clearly defined domain. If such beliefs find themselves in opposition to facts that science, by its own tests, regards as established, it is simply an unavoidable result of the situation, as If, for Instance, a man should say: "I have been divinely told that I can step over the edge of this precipice without fal ling," and, stepping over, is dashed to pieces. The "different sciences" are only the various branches of this one sci ence whose aim is to ascertain and systematically arrange for their bet ter comprehension the facts and laws of existence in this world and this ' universe, which we consciously in habit as long as we live, and con cerning which we know nothing veri fiable except what our senses and what logical reasoning based upon the revelations of our senses tell us. It may be that when our bodies die our personal selves escape in an intangible form and continue -to ex ist forever: it may be that .In an- | other form or body we shall rein- j habit this earth or go dwell in some other world under the light of eome other sun. Science does not know, because it can get no grip on the elements of the problem; but if it saw any way to get such a grip you may be sure that it would seize it with the utmost eagerness. But anybody who asserts that science denies the existence of something imperishable in man or of an in telligence greater than man's goes a great deal farther than science ac companies him. To decline to discuss what you do not know and to deny the exist ence of what you do not know are two very different things. The true scientist to-day is as modest as was his great progenitor, Isaac Newton, who declared that he seemed, in his studies, like a child gathering a few pebbles on the seashore while the illimitable ocean lay beyond. Kvery branch of science is "exact science" if it is worthy of its name, but the term has sometimes been restricted to those branches which rest largely or entirely upon a math ematical basis as distinguished from I the so called "natural history sci ences," which depend upon observa tion only. However, it seems to me there is no good reason for attempt ing any general distinction of this kind. It is apt to bo invidious, and it serves no useful purpose. Here is a grouping of the sci ences taken from the Standard Dic tionary, which embraces, as_ you will see, more than has been "admitted under the name of science as I have used it above: "The sciences are divisible Into: (1) the mathematical, treating of quality; (2) the physical, treating of matter and its properties; (3) the biological, treating of the phenomena of life; (4) the anthropological, treating of man, and (5) the theo logical, treating of the Deity." The last item in the above should have no place in the list if we con fine the term science to the field of the senses. That it ought to be so confined is, I think, evident from the fact that the methods now uni versally recognized as characteristic of what everybody has learned to regard as science are inapplicable to theology. . Psysieal science rests upon physi cal observation and physical experi mentation; theological "science" is based upon faith, rejecting absolute ly the kind of verification that the other as absolutely demands. To put them both under the same cate gory, as if they were different branches, or aspects, if the same thing, is not only misleading but mis chievous. It belittles theology, which has to do with God, to link it with a term that has come universally to stand for man's imperfect knowledge of the visible and tangible world in which he lives, and it misrepresents science to couple it, in spite of its protests, with something outside Iti chosen sphere. It is a pity that some less comprehensive find more defini tive term, something that had never been used with a wider meaning, was not selected to describe what "sci ence" now means to the vast major ity of men. s Miners Agree Profits in Coal Go to Owners, Middle Men and Rulers By Associated Press, IJOIHIOII, March 15.—The revela-i tions since the opening of the in quiry into the coal mining industry has confirmed the miners in their suspicion of profiteering by the'own ers, the distributors and the govern ment, William Straker, secretary of the Northumberland Miners' Asso ciation, declared before the commis sion of inquiry to-day.

The proposal to establish such a board was finally dropped owing to the fear expressed by delegates that the liberty of the press might be in fringed upon.
