The borough vendiug license at present is 50 ceuts a day or $5 a year, while the license at Harrisburg is SIOO a year. The matter is in charge of the local Merchants' Association which con trtnls that the higher fees in Harris burg prevents Steeltou merchants from iwlicitiug business in that city, while the low cost of doing business by Har risbnrg individuals and firms in the borough is a discrimination against its members.

MANY AT MOTORCYCLE SHOW First Annual Event Is Proving Bigger and Better Than the Promot ers Anticipated The first annual motorcycle Show in Chestnut street hall is proving a bigger success than the backers, the Harris burg Motorcycle Dealers' Association, first anticipated. More persons than it was hoped are anxious to learn about the control of the two-wheeled mercury and the show, with its ten exhibitors, does not lack the necessary person to give detailed accounts of one simplicity of the modern motorcycle. Two hours after the show opened Saturday night the first saie was re corded. That is doing pretty well and proves to the association back of the show that it was worth while. On top of this E. R. Dunkee, special agent of the Harley-Davidson Company at Milwaukee, Wis., here for tine show, says it compares favorably with other shews he has attended. His stamp of approval is gratifying to the local pro moters. Doors open each day at 2 o'clock and remain open until late in the evening. Wednesday will be ladies' night, when the fair sex will be admitted free of charge. Thursday will be society night. Special events each nigflit are being planned by the promoters. Nearly 500 enthusiasts attended the opening night, despite the heavy snow and sloppy sidewalks. A feature of the show is the booth run by the La dies' Auxiliary, where refreshments are being served for a small fee.

Johnson, of Cornell University, Mrs. T. M. Jones, Augustus Cadwallader and Henry C. Liles of York, were the speakers, it was decided to organize a branch in this city of the Pennsylva nia Arbitration and Peace Society. A meeting will be held shortly at the call of Dr. John J. Mullowney. Dr Johnson sairl in his address that the European war came as a great surprise to those in touch with diplo matic relations, because all differences between England and France and Ger many had apparently been adjusted. A clash between the United States and Japan, especially over the Philip pines, he considered out of the question. He said that Japan w&M not only the poorest nation in the world • now be cause of the heavy war tax on its peo ple, but that it was too far sighted to fight for territory that had already proven a burden to the United States. !> Gold Crowns & Sets £ !| Bridge Work Teeth | ]| $3, $4, $5 fss I J!
