Doors in China
In China doors are often round, leaf
shaped or semi-circular. In placing
! them the Iwibter usually avoids having
| one opposite another lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses of th« building. The door
; ways separating the courts of a gar
den are usually of an elaborate kind,
j and the octagonal form is one of the
! most popular. Religious superstition
j asserts itself in Chinese architecture,
! and the universal saeredness of the
| numerals 3 and 9 is shown in the ar
rangement of temple »k>ors. There is
a triple gateway to each of the halls
of the imperial palace, and the same
order prevails at the Ming tombs. The
Temple of Heaven has a triple roof, a
triple marble staircase, and all its mys
tic symbolism points either to 3 or its
multiples.
The Color of Lakes
Some lakes are distinctly blue, others
are of various shades of green, so that
] in some cases they are scarcely distin
j guishable from their level, grass sur
i rounded banks. A few, too, are al
| most black. The lake of Geneva is
' azure hued, the lake of Constance ami
(the lake of Lucerne are green, while
i the color of the Mediterranean has
been called indigo. The lake of Brienz
iis greenish yellow, and its neighbor,
I Lake Thun, is blue.
MOTORCYCLE NOTES
A St. Patrick's minstrel show will
be given by the members of the In
dianapolis Motorcycle Club, the pro
ceeds of the show to be added to the
Lincoln Highway fund.
Motorcycles played a prominent part
in the recent exhibit of the Police Bene
ficial Association of Camden, N. J.
Pour new motorcycle clubs that have
I recently joined the P. A. M. arc: The
Battle Creek (Mich.) Motorcycle Club,
the Oklahoma City Motorcycle Club, the
Homestead Wanderers, of Munhall, Pa ,
and the Ohio Valley Motorcycle Club,
of Cincinnati.
A new motorcycle club is being or
ganized at Southhampton, Long Island.
On account of recent- heavy rains,
the three-day endurance run of the
Savannah (Ga.) Motorcycle Club, which
was scheduled for February 20, 21 and
22, has been postponed to April 24,
25 and 26.
Proof of the utility of the motorcy
cle in police work is shown by the
large of cities tnat are this
spring planning to increase the num
ber of motorcycles used in their (>olice
departments. One motorcycle manufac
turer alone reports orders from the po
lice departments of Bostou. New York,
Omaha, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles,
Bridgeport, Conn.; Tulsa, Okla.; Bev
erly, Mass., and the Park Commission
of Boston. t
A novel idea for collecting memger
sbip dues has been inaugurated by the
Blair County Motorcycle Club, of Al
toona, Pa. The names of club mem
bers are postea on a bulletin and as
each member pays his dues a star is
placed aftei his name. This serves as
a reminder to the boys and saves the
trouble of sending out notices. An
other feature of the club's activities is
the conducting of a lunch room by two
of the members. This is not only well
patronized by riders, but by many
downtown business men.
The !Heuvbers of the Keystone Motor
cycle Club, of Harrisburg, Pa., are
pleased with the encouragement given
them for their first motorcycle and mo
torboat show, to be held here March
'eth to 13th. A^iv. #
Not a Square Deal
Miss Mason was explaining to her

"Now, remember, children, the tares

"Why, Miss Mason!" exclaimed a
rosy-cheeked boy, who had been listen

"Yes," James," replied the teach

SELLING OVER SI .01.000 j
WQRTHQFCARSEACH MONTH
F. L. Jewett, of the Paige Company,
Tells Secret of This Big Success—
Concern Only Four Years in the
Business
"The- Paige Company was organized
four years ago. The first year we built
and solj 300 automobiles. Our business
for last year ran over $1,000,000 per
month 011 an average. That is a record
that any organization may well be
proud of but when it is considered that
this tremendous growth was accom
plished in the face of keen competition
from manufacturers who were already
well established, it assumes even great
er significance.
"Four years ago our factory com
prised part of a floor which gave us
-about 2,400 squarp feet. To-day we
are in a magnificent, new plant of 390,-
000 feet floor space and equipped with
every modern facility for economical
production of fine motor cars.
"Four years ago we employed a
handful of men. Xow the average
working force is about 1,000 skilled,
trained and loyal men whose yearly
wage earning capacity is approximately!
half a million dollars.
'•Four years ago there did not exist
a Paige selling organization. To-day
over 700 wide awake dealers are
preaching the gospel of Paige quality
and value in every state in the Union
and many foreign countries."
Mr. Jewett smiled when asked to
what he attributed the remarkable de-1
velopment of the Paige Company
"I believe this wonderful and'rapid i
rise rests upon the foundation of the
excess value we have always built into
Paige ears. Of course, it required many
things t-o produce these values, but we
have the fundamental requirement in
fclie Paige organization.
"The romance of the Paige devel
opment is linked with the names of
some of Detroit's most active, shrewd,
anil successful business men. With
their combined experience, with their
constructive ability, with their con
servative judgment, with their unlimit
ed capital and high idewls, it*is no won
der that the Paige organization and
Paige cars have won such marked suc
cess. ''
George K. Bentley, proprietor of the
Riverside Garage, rear of 1417 North
Front street, is the local dealer for
Harrisburg territory and has surrounded
himself with a competent sales and
service force creditable to the Paigo
organization and this community. The-
Paige cars will be on exhibition at the
Sixth Annual Auto Show to be held
March 13 to 20. —Adv. *

CHANDLER SIX IS A CAR OF
TYPE IN GREATEST DEMAND
Every Accessory Is Selected Because
It Is the Best Obtainable In Its
Class, Says Andrew Redmond, the
Local Distributor
The Chand-ler Six is a caj of the typo
which is now, and will continue to be,
iu greatest demand.
It is a car of the highest quality,
equipped with a six-cylinder Chandler
motor of speciaJ design built by the
Chandler Company as a result of the
long exiperieuce possessed by its man
agement in the designing and building
of six-cvlinder motors.
Present day requirements demand
light car weight, gawiine economy, lib
eral road clearance, narrow turning
radius, left side drive, center control,
multiple disc clutch, automatic oiling
system, steaan line bodies, built-in
wind shield, deep, luxurious cushions,
clean running boards and graceful out
line—all of which are embodied in the
Chandler.
Modern equipment also demands full
and complete self-contained electric
lighting system, dependable electric
self-starting apparatus, electric horn,
clock, speedometer, high class magneto
ignition, standard demountable rims,
gasoline gauge, operator's instrument
board, quick adjustable patent storm
curtains, rear tire carriers and such in
cidental but important accessories as
robe rail, foot rest, etc., etc.
Andrew Redmond, local dealer, iu
speaking of it says:
"A study of the arpes-iflcatirtir* of the
Chandler Six will show that every ac
cessory has been selected because it is
the best obtainable in its class. The
(magneto is the standard on the high
est priced cars throughout the world,
the starting and lighting systems are
I'ecogiiized as beinig without superior,
the rims are used on practically all the
•best cars in the country, the speedo
meter is of recognized superiority, the
ball bearings of high grade imported
manufacture, and the shafts, axles and
all other details are of the very finest
quality."—Adv.*
DODGE BROS ACTIVE
Sample Qars of Popular Auto Firm Be
ing Shipped Ont to All Quar
ters of Globe
"With quantity production in full
swing nt the Detroit factory, Dodge
Brothers are carrying out their an
nounced policy of building up a sub
stantial foreign trade simuleaneously
with the development of the American
field.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that competition for foreign
sales rights on Dodge Brothers' car is
even more keen than that displayed
by United States dealers last season.
First of the foreign dealers to receive
appointment, is Aktieselskabet Auto of
Christiania, Norway. The first consign
ment of ears for this company was
shipped from the factory February 13.
Recognizing the preference of for-'
eign agents for dealing directly with
the factory, Dodge Brothers are han
dling all export business from the gen
eral offices in Detroit. Dealers from all
quarters of the globe have cabled and
written to Detroit for sales eights on
the new car.
This has not 'nterefered with the
shipment t simple cars, however, and
other? are out at frequent inter
vals to reputable dealers. The first
Dodge Brothers' car shipped out of this
country was sent as a sample to a deal
er iu Dublin, Ireland, on the steamer
Arabic, two weeks ago. Six cars have
been sent to Manila, two to Sweden and
others will soon follow to the Canal
Zone, New Zealand, Australia, Denmark
and Great Britain. Adv.*

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN
In 1754 North Carolina, growing
impatient of the burden that her west
ern settlements had imposed upon hor
treasury and irritated bv the com
plaints of the people of those sections,
passed an act conveying to the Federal
government, all the lands that now con
stitute the State of Tennessee.
The people of the country that is
no>v Kastern Tennessee, feeling them
selves left without a government, made
haste to organize themselves into an
independent Commonwealth, which
they called, as a tribute to the illus
trious philosopher, the State of Frank
lin. These people applied for admis
sion into the Union; but, the Federal
government being slow and unwilling to
act and North Carolina having re
pealed the act of cession of her western
province to the Union, the State of
Franklin came into very troubled wa
ters for some years.
Some efforts were made to persuade
the Kentuekians to join themselves to
the State of Franklin, a provision hav
ing been made for such co-operation iu
