Pittsburgh Puts Bigger City |
to Shame Greeting Heroes•
Xew York, May 31. Philadel
phians who witnessed the arrival of
units of the 80th Division on the
transport Mobile, in New York yes
terday, hung their heads in shame.
Ipney were forced to compare the
manner in which Pittsburgh was on
hand to greet its boys of the 320 th
Infantry with the pitiful showing
Philadelphia made in the last few
weeks when units of the 28th and
T9th Divisions steamed into New
Y'ork.
When the first Philpdelphlans ar
rived here the city had no one at all
to meet them except a few news
papermen trom the City of Brother
ly Love. After many ships had ar
rived, bearing many Philadelphlnns,
the Quaker City Committee at last
woke up and sent over a delegation
of a handful of men, headed by a
Your first thought of the
Liberty is that it has a
beauty and a charm of in
dividual style that set it
quite apart from other cars.
Your first ride in a Liberty
reveals the astonishing fact
that a car may possess un
usual road steadiness and
balance without being
either cumbersome or
costly.
This pleasant sensation of
difference in the way the
Liberty rides and drives is
being spoken of everywhere.
And this friendly feeling
reaches its climax in the
enthusiasm of its owners
for the distinctive service
the Liberty continues to
render day after day and

On the Job
HETHER it is coal or merchandise, produce or oil—in the
fertile valleys, on the desert or in the mountains—lnter
national Motor I rucks are "on the job" hauling' their load the
gieatcst distance with least expense. It takes time and skill in
manufacture to gain a reputation like this, but wherever you find
an International Motor Truck you will find a satisfied owner.
Over three-quarters of a century of manufacturing experience and over
ten \ ears experience in building motor trucks and tractors is back of every
International Motor I ruck that we sell. The sturdy construction, the "built
in scruce, the low-cost mileage is evident in every line of this useful truck.
No matter what you have to haul or where you want to haul it, there is
an International to meet your requirements. We do not want to burden our
customers with a mass of technical detail, but if you will come in to our
salesroom we will present proofs of performance that will convince you that
Internationals are on the job and making good in a big way. We have a
catalog showing a variety of body styles and types. Come in and get a copy.

SATURDAY EVENING,
Mayor who evidently was not en

But yesterday Pittsburgh's own
regiment came in—the 320th—und
Pittsburgh was there, .giving the

PLAX TO ORGANIZE
Xcw York Delegates represent
ing seventy organizations, including
labor bodies with a membership of
more than 200,000, met at 175 East
Broadway, under the auspices of the
United Hebrew Trades to form a
union of 5,000,000 tenants through
out the country to be affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
The initial object will be to strike
wherever there is rent profiteering,
but it Is the ultimate hope of the
organization to have the various
states call sessions of the Legislature
and pass laws that will permit muni
cipalities to build and operate tene
ment houses at cost.

JAIL RATHER THAN PLEDGE
San l'YiuiciscO, Cal.—Rather than
take the pledge to retrain from
drinking intoxicating liquors, Wil
liam May, sefaring man, chose a six
months' sentence in the county jail
and then changed his mind.
"I'll take a chance on getting a
nip out there occasionally," he told
Police Judge Morris Oppenheim.
"You see the country's going dry
July 1, and if I take the pledge I
won't get a drink between now and
then."
"Say, mate," said a fellow pris
oner in the dock. "You got the dope
wrong. The county jail's dryer than
the Sahara Desert under a July
sun."
May sailed out to the Judge that
he had changed his mind. A few
minutes later he signed the pledge.

! MOTOR CODE IS
| UP TO GOVERNOR
Increases Registration Fees
and Makes Changes in
Regulations
The Dlthrlch motor vehicle code
is now In the hands of Governor
Sproul after undergoing many
amendments. It increases the reg
istration fees for both pleasure and
commercial vehicles and it is esti
mated will bring to the State in
creased revenues of about two mil
lion dollars yearly.
The fee for registering pleasure
vehicles and trucks with a chassis
weighing less than 2,000 pounds is
]4O cents a horsepower. Heavier
commercial vehicles are divided into
set en classes and all fees are charged
on the weight of the chassis, with
the license running from S2O for cars
I between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds to
$l5O for trucks with chassis weigh
ing more than 10,000 pounds. No
truck can carry an over-all weight
of more than 26,000 pounds for
chassis, body and load and the
length is restricted to 28 feet and
the width to 90 inches. There is an
exemption granted for trucks now in
use that do not conform to the above
measurements.
The speed allowance is thirty
miles an hour on the open highways
with local regulations permissible in
cities and towns limiting the speed
to fifteen miles an hour. Traffic reg
ulations are also permitted in cities.
Both the load and the speed of
trucks are specified, the lighter
trucks being allowed a speed of
twenty miles an hour while the
heaviest are permitted but lo miles
an hour.
The regulations for trucks are as:
follows:
Lbs. Chassis License Speed
Class Weight Fee Miles
AA 2.000 to 3,000 $ 20 20
A 3,000 to 4,500 25 20
B 4,500 to 6,000 30 18
C 6,000 to 7,000 50 15
D 7,000 to 8,000 75 'ls
E 8,000 to 10,000 100 12
F Over 10,000 150 10
The use of Pennsylvania highways
by commercial vehicles registered in
other states is limited to one round
trip a week, but the usual reciprocal
privileges are extended to pleasure
vehicles. When applying for regis
tration applicants must file sworn
statements as to the mental and phy
sical ability to operate a car. Per
sons having less than 20 per cent,
of normal hearing are considered
physically Incapacitated.
Full registration fees must be paid
up to August 1 of each year when
half rate fees will become effective.

PRESIDENT MONROE'S SON
Jacksonville, Fla., boasts that the
world's oldest shipbuilder lives in
that city. He is Major Edward
James Monroe, 103 years old, who
is still possessed of all his faculties
and works in the shipyards as a bolt
passer. Major Monroe was born in
Richmond, Va., July 4. 1815, the
youngest son of James Monroe, fifth
President of the United States. His
mother was the President's third
wife. His eldest sister died when
105 years old.
When America declared war on
Germany, Major Monroe was among
the first to offer his services, but
the fact that he had passed the cen
tury mark prevented him from don
ning the olive drab uniform. Then
he applied for work at the ship
yards, and after proving that his eye
was clear and his brain active he
was given employment.
Although he has met many re
verses and sorrows and has lost three
wives; and eleven children. Major
Monroe says he always thinks of
others who are in a worse fix than
he and refuses to worry. Eat good
food and refrain from worrying are
two of his recipes for longevity.—

the Occident, who know it only as an
article of food, is used in China 'for
making cloth. At least its leaves
are so used. The leaf fiber, after
being extracted by a simple process,
is first made into thread. The thread
is then spooled and run on bobbins.
Old-fashioned native looms next
handle the thread, converting it in
to a serviceable cloth.
