Hangars and School If possible, the firm pi .ns to erect hangars and school rooms before the first of the new year. When they are completed classes will be im mediately opened so that when the students in the training school have advanced sufficiently far to take the advanced course in flying, the weath er will permit of their being taken into the air The Liberty Aero an nounces that the course will be as comptete as any in the country, com prising a thorough study of motors, airplane construction, assembling and flying. Competent Flyers Among the Instructors so far re cured are Walter Shaffer, who has had several years of flying experi ence; Eugene C. Bowers, who was an instructor in the American Army flying corps, and John H. Keller, who has studied airplanes from their construction to the art of flying. All three have had many hours in the air and are regarded as among the most competent aviators in Penn sylvania. ' Forecast Future An ambitious future is forecasted by the Liberty Aero Service Cor poration. Founded and backed by many Harrisburg and central Penn sylvania businessmen, it proposes to jump into and hold the lead in this new field of endeavor. Passenger and freight carrying to points in the eastern United States, exhibition fly ing at fairs and municipal celebra tions and a school in aeronautics on the model flying field, which they have secured at Dauphin are a few of the activities proposed. The cora panv which is chartered for $50,000 announces that it is Issuing but $15.- 000 in stock. Officials say that the outlook points to speedy financial returns, so that no larger issue of stock is necessary. Battle Stunts Early in the spring, according to present plans, two double-seater Curtiss planes are to be purchased. Later a small high speed Oriole will be purchased. This machine is especially designed for exhibition purposes and will be used to per form the "falling - leaf," "nose dives," spirals and spins which Al lied aviators used. successfully to out wit the Hun on the western front in thrilling "solo" exhibitions.

HOW DRIVERS CAN MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS Chief Engineer of the Interna tional Motor Company Talks on Roadwear "Drivers can do as much, almost for the maintenance of good roads as highway engineers," declares Alfred F. Masury, Chief Engineer of the Inter national Motor Company, manufactur er of Mack trucks. "Did you ever notice." asked Mr. Masury, "in going up a hill, particular ly one paved with asphaltlc concrete, that the surface on the right hand side of th? road is wavy and rough, while that on the left hand side is smooth? , "Well, the reason is this: The extra traction required to climb the hill wears and tears the surface, while there Is little or no traction down hill. "Another thing, the right hand track of the road In either direction is the one which is worn most. This is be cause of tho arched surface of the road which throws the greater weight and strain on the right hand side of the vehicle and consequently the right hand side of the roadway. Truck builders and wagon makers have even adjusted i their axldS and springs so as to with stand the greater strain on the right hand side of the vehicle. "The custom of arching the roadways was formed in the early days of road making when dirt and porous-surfaced roads were the ones mostly in use, and it was necessary to give sufficient pitch to the surface of the roadway to drain off the water and prevent it from pene trating the surface of the road to soften and weaken the roadbed. With modern watertight surfaces, the necessity for arched roads does not exist and en gineers are designing roads with very slight pitch. "Drivers can prevent wear to the surfaces of the roads and even improve their conditions, if instead of driving in one track or on the edge of the road, they'will drive over the middle and other less used parts of the road when traffic permits. The one thing that is fatal about all things to road surfaces, whether dirt or paved, >ls driving in tracks, which subjects one small part of the road surface to all the traffic and damage that the whole road accommo dates. Traffic should he evenly dis tributed over the entire surface of the road, and a little thoughtfulnesa and care in this respect on the part of drivers will do much to add to the per manence and excellence of our road ways." OR IS IT THE TELEPHONE? Personal in London Times: "Dick Ting-alin-allng-aling. Len." Which, translated from alarm clock langu age In the vernacular, means: "Wake up. Dick, and get onto your Job." —Boston Transcript. As Influenaa is an exaggerated form of Grip, LAX ATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets should be taken in larger doses than is prescribed for ordinary Grip.

Parker, Sales Man ager For Macbeth Lens While the recently enacted legisla tion governing the operation of motor vehicles within the State of Pennsyl vania Is becoming generally under stood, apparently there still are some points upon which all motorists are not fully informed. One section In particular which Is the subject of many Inquiries Is that referring to the use and opera tion_ of lights. Under this new act the glaring or dazzling headlight, which long has been a dangerous menace to night driving, is eliminated. As a result numerous accidents occasioned by blinding reflections obviously will be avoided in the future. Section 22 of the law clearly de fines the restrictions under which motor cars must operate after night fall. It prescribes that no lights of more than thirty-two candle power shall be used and that all lights in excess of four candle power, equip ped with reflectors, shall be so dif fused or deflected that "no dazzling rays of light shall, at a point seventy five (75) feet or more ahead of the lamps, rie more than forty-two (42) inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands." A preceding paragraph provides that all motor vehicles while in mo tion shall carry two front lights which will "clearly illuminate'' the road for a distance of at least 200 feet. This makes it imperative that all front lights be so designed as tp elimintite any upward rays which will tend to interfere with the vision of a driver in an approaching ve hicle or blind a pedestrian,! and at the same time be of sufficient power to illuminate the road. The law makes it compulsory for all motor vehicles with the exception of a motorcycle without a 6ide car, to show while in motion, at least two lights of approximately equal power on the front of the vehicle. In the case of a motor cycle without the 6ide car attached, but one light is necessary. These lights must be vis ible for a distance of at least 200 feet. They must be shown during that period starting "one hour after sunset" and extending until "one hour before sunrise" or whenever It is impossible to see clearly for a dis tance of 200 feet The customary red light must be displayed on the rear of a vehicle and the registration plate on the rear must be illuminated. Where trailers are attached or one motor vehicle is being towed by another, the red light must be displayed and the registra tion plate illuminated on the rear vehicle. Red lights on the front of any motor vehicle are prohibited. Movable spotlights or searchlights, or other lights supplementing the two headlights must comply with the re strictions outlined for the headlights. Further, the rays from spotlights or searchlights shall not at any time extend to the left of the axis of the vehicle. The State Highway Commissioner, under this act, has the power to make necessary road and laboratory tests to determine which lighting de vices. lamps, lenses, etc., comply with the provisions governing headlights. These tests soon will be underway. Manufacturers of lenses, lamps, etc., whose products are approved will be awarded certificates. These certificates will certify that such tests have been made and that the device when applied com plies with the act The buying pub lic'should.be guided by these certi ficates. Failure to comply with the various requirements pertaining to the law is an offense. JJpon conviction the defendant is subject to a minimum fine of $5 and a maximum fine of $lO. Failure to pay this fine makes the offender liable to a jail sentence not exceeding five days. Conviction for a second offense carries with it a minimum fine of $25 and a maximum fine of SSQ or a Jail sentence not to exceed 10 days. This new act is a tangible Inter pretation of the "universal law of the road" which every falrminded, sportsmanlike motorist wants to live up to. It is an application of the "golden rule" of the road. Properly enforced it will remove the dangers of .night driving. Its requirements not only do away with the glaring headlights which are a menace to all but actually make a few somewhat careless drivers protect their own lives by using lights which properly Illuminate their paths. The proper and most efficient way to enforce this law is for every motor ist to take it upon himself to live up to its provisions. With the earnest co-operation of every car owner, its enforcement will be assured and its true intent realized. "Made in Germany" Symbol Disappears From German Goods London, Oct 18. The onol familiar "Made in Germany" is not appearing on products of Gerpsan manufacture since the armistice which are finding their way into continental markets. An American salesman who has Just returned in London from Italy has several sam ples of the goods German firms are distributing there. Each bears some symbol but none the three o'd words. A cutlery firm has its name in a semicircle at the base of the blades and under it is stamped a lion. The salesman told the Associated Press; "I saw many new German made articles in Italy priced far be low what American manufacturers can produce them for. I was sur prised to find that the Germans were offering from twelve to eighteen months' credit."

Rumors of a new light Six, embracing several revolutionary features have been cur rent for months past; but, not until the preliminary announcement of the car. accompanying the public offering of preferred stock of the Willys Cor poration was given out, was It known who stood sponsor for this car. This Is the first and only car pro duced by the Willys Corporation, which is the big concern headed by John N. Willys, devoted heretofore to the production of the Auto-Lite, the Willys light for the lighting of homes and farms, and the New Process transmis sion "and differential gears. It Is reported that the difficulties, which have stood in the way of pro duction of slx-cyllnder cars In large quantities, have been eliminated by radically new ideas of construction. Just what these are have not been made public as yet; but a new prin ciple of spring suspension Is one of them. The new spring gives the car the riding qualities of a 142-tnch wheel base, though the actual wheel base is but 112 inches. AH the features of the car have been thoroughly tested out, over a period of two years, totalling a distance of 290,- 000 miles. During these tests, the new Six proved an average of 17 to 20 miles per gallon of gasoline, due to Its un usual light weight—2,loo pounds—and to new efficiencies of the engine. Production Is boing hastened in the Duesenberg Motors plant at Elizabeth, N. J., recently purchased and greatly enlarged and amplified by the Willys Corporation. If the car even approximates the ec onomies reported established by the two years of testing, It will undoubtedly create a stir In the six-cylinder field; and with quantity production, it is free ! ly predicted that it will rapidly become one of the widest and most intensively owned cars in the world as the field for a Six within the reach of motorists with moderate incomes is simply enormous. Two Steel Strikers Shot by Machine Gun, Police Are Told By Associated Press Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18.—Two steel strikers were shot, one perhaps fatal ly, near the Cuyahoga coke plant of the American Steel and Wire Com pany last night when they are alleg ed to have attempted to intercept em ployes going into the plant. Ray Atkinson was shot In the back of the head and In the face, and Charles Lutkus was wounded in the leg by a stray bullet. They were taken to a hospital where It is said Atkin son may die. Both were doing picket duty. Two other strikers told police that Atkinson and Lutkus were shot by a machine gun within the coke works. Announcement is .made by Wil!i"-n P. Palmer, president of the Ame-' n Steel and Wire Company, thr .he company's nine plants would 'i.jme operations Monday morning. Plans also are neing made by Otis & Company to resume operations on Monday, it was said. CARVING FRENCH'S GREAT STATUE OF LINCOLN If the person who In his daily walks passes many times the statues and monuments which adorn the public places of our great cities, giving but little thought to them, were to push open, by chance, the great door lead ing into one of the studios where these works of art are in process of development, his first feeling would be, perhaps, one of amazement at be. holding an interior quite opposite to that which his imagination had pic tured. Here he will not find & trace of the artistic settings and luxurious surroundings associated in liis mind with the studios of some of our suc cessful painters. On the contrary, his impression is rather apt to be that of a vast workshop, where, amid the ap parent confusion of great masses of rough and uncut marble, fantastic shapes of plaster and clay (surrounded by scaffolding and ladders, forges and benches, and the indescribable litter of chips and broken stone,) he may discern dimly through fine clouds of marble dust and smoke crowds of workmen in blouses, unconventional overalls and paper caps, busily en gaged with their humming pneumatic chiself, hammers, and measuring in struments in liberating from these rude blocks of stone the form of some graceful nymph, or, perhaps, the ro bust figure of one of our distinguish ed statesmen. It is in such a studio that the great statue of Abraham Lincoln by Daniel Chester French (the most monumental work in marble ever at tempted in America) has been in pro cess of development during the past year. So great a work as this enormous statue, which with Its marble base rises to the imposing height of over 30 feet, could only be intrusted to the hands of marble-cutters >of the great est experience and for this reason the co-operation of the most skillful sculptors was sought- And so it was decided by Mr. French and his asso ciates to obtain the services of the Picctrllll brothers; and in their spa clous studios this great work, oc cupying a year of Incessant labor has been successfully completed.—W. M. Berger in Scribner's. ART OF READING The printing press has helped iberalize and free the people from tyranny. Books and magazines and newspapers have done' much to dis seminate knowledge and bring in formation into the homes of the people. They have promoted the art of reading and stimulated the desire to read more. At the same time the very multi tude of books and periodicals has cultivated a desultory method of reading, a desire to skim over every thing and digest little or nothing. Classic writings, the great books of history, biography and fiction have in a measure gone out of fashion. "Solid reading," as it Is called, is not often Indulged In, and the names of great writers, whose productions will live always are unfamiliar to many of the present generation. CARE OF TIRES DURING WINTER While in Storage They Should Be Given Special Attention Many motorists will soon put their cars In the barn for the winter and think no more of motor riding until about the ides of March. Many automobile tires will go Into storage with thousands of miles of wear left In them, and car owners should take the few precautions neces sary to keep them from damage while | they are not In use. Here are some recommendations made by the service department of the United States Tire Company to the motorist who wants to put his tires away and find them in good shape next spring: 1. Wash tires carefully on outside to remove oil and other harmful sub stances. 2. Remove tires from wheels and wrap In paper or old carpet. 3. Store" in a cool, dry place away from light. Heat, light and moisture are enemies of rubber. 4. Cold has no bad effect on tires, but they should be properly housed. 5. If tires are left on car, jack up the car, deflatq the tires, and wrap them in covers. 6. Don't let car stand on tires all winter. To do so means weakening them In the parts that rest on the floor.
