Strong of the Strong- Crittenden Company,, Chandler dealers in Rochester, N. Y., must be awarded tlx* palm. Although a firm believer in decorative. windows and other snar* for prospective owners of motor cars, Mr. Strong states that his latest stunt has proved the biggest wiuner of them all. Recently the books of the company showed that euough orders were ou hand for Chandler cars, to necessitate delivery of one car each day until June 1. .Starting a week ago and planned to run each morning in Rochester pa pers, are photographs of the» persons who bought cars the, day before. One photograph appears each day with the caption "Here's a picture of yester day 's lucky Chandler man. What is your dntef" All Rochester now turns interestedly to its morning,paper these days, to find out which fellow citizen has been the most recent recruit to the six-cylinder ranks. According to Mr. Strong, the only objection to his scheme is beginning to appear at the present time. As he has recently made two and three deliveries of cars on the same day, he will be forced to run group pictures each day in order to carry out the original plan. —Adv. * INSPECTS PAIGE AGENCIES i President of Company Spends Five I Weeks in a Tour of Northwest and Pacific Coast Harry M.

AN EMPTY STOMACH Its Effect Upon the System and Why It Craves Food During our waking hours the stom ach is rarely, if ever, completely empty, and apparently there is a very good physiological "reason why i't should not be. Thus the universal custom of taking) meals about five hours apart, so that the contents of the stoni- Ia eh are replenished before the organ is completely emptied, is depemftnt > upon a physical need ; Since most foods are not assimilated by the system directly from the stom ach, and, as food remains in the stom ach several hours after being swal lowed, the well-known fact that eating relieves fatigue almost immediately has long been puzzling. But recent studies of the still mysterious action of the gastric juice offer a rational ex planation. When the stomach is emptv I this digestive fluid draws directly upon | the blood, thus depfeting the amount i of nourishment necessary to the muscles and producing fatigue." But tlje de pleting action ceases immediately when food enters the stomach; hence the feeling of refreshment that follows a 1 meal. The amount of fluids and salt in the ' food also influences the action of gas tric juice. When either <of these is deficient in quantity the amount of gas tric juice is reduced. As a result the food is not properly digested, is hur [ ried through the stomach and is likely to produce intestinal disturbances. -Hard work with profuse sweating re duces the fluids and salt in the body. This explains the craving of fluids and salty foods which is experienced by persons taking prolonged muscular ex ercise and why i$ is that when these substances arel acking intestinal trou bles develop.—los Angeles Times. CONDORS ROOST HIGH They Perch at an Altitude of 15,000 v Feet Above the Sea There is a splendid specimen of the male condor in a glass case in the bird room of the Children's Museum in Brooklyn. Though he stands three and one-half feet high, the spread of his wings is nine feet. "The condors live throughout the Andes, principally in Chile and Peru. Their favorite haunts are the level of perpetual snow," writes Miss Anna B. Gallup in the "Museum News." "Dur ing a portion of the year condors roost in the trees on the lower mountain slopes, but in the breeding season (the summer months of November and De cember) they retire to the most broken and terrific precipices, 10,000 to 15,- 000 feet abdve the sea level, where no other creature can dwell. There on a ledge or shelf of rock the female lays two white eggs nearly four inches in length. Sometimes she places a few sticks around them, perhaps to keep them from rolling out of place. "After about seven weeks, in Feb- ■ ruary or early in March, the young hatch, entirely covered with soft "white down, that afterward turns to a brown color. PLANNED 111 EXPEDITE SERVICE HOARD'S WORK Several Pending Bills, Which Have the Commission's Approval, Are In tended to Remove Many Causes of Complaints by Citizens Several bills amending the Public Sorvice Commission law have been in troduced in the Legislature and in the event of their passage, it is held by their sponsors, then would materially aid in expediting the work of the Com mission and ,vould remove many causes of complaints that come from parties interested in cases. One of them does away with the ne cessity of obtaining approval of the joint use of poles. Another precludes the necessity of having every contract that a public service company makes with a municipality first approved by the Commission. The amendment, however, retains the Commission's regulatory control over competition and retains the same control over service and rates which have been made the subject of, a contract with a munici pality. Another amendment gives the Com mission the power to appoint examin ers to take testimony and evidence any where in the State. The effect of this, it is held, would be that people inter ested in complaints could save the time and expense of coming to the State Capitol. The payment of witness fees, so as to make the State responsible only for the payment of fees of witnesses who are summoned by the Comission, as distinguished from those summoned by the parties, is regulated by another bill. Under the present act," the State is obliged to pav_ the witness fees and mileage of all witnesses summoned un der the subpoena of the Commission, even though they be a party to the proceeding. Another amendment gives the Com mission power to suspend rates pro posed to be charged, pending the de termination of their reasonableness. These proposed amendments have the approval of the Commission. A bill will also likely be introduced amending the crossing provisions so as to do away with the necessity of ad vnnee approval of I'rossings other than those between the nilroads, street rail ways and highways, but it proposes to retain the Commission's power to regu late all crossings upon complaint or upon its own motion. PLAN FOR TENNIS SEASON Special Committee Named by Park Commissioner to Be in Full Charge of Movement A special or "house" committee ap pointed by Park Commissioner Taylor will have charge of organizing the proposed Reservoir Tennis Club, the supervision of the club house and tne distribution of the lockers, plans for which were laid at a meeting of the committee last evening. On the committee are IMisses Anne Sweeney, Elizabeth Killinger, Harry Shreiner, Jay Hoffert, tiouis A. Irvin and Martin <M. Keet. The Park Com missioner is treasurer. The new club house is ready for occupancy and ap plication blanks for lookers have been prepared and are ready for distribution. They can be had by request from the park office or from any of the members of the house committee. There are 132 lockers on the men's side of the house and 76 on the wom en's side. Shower bath facilities have been provided for the men and on the other side of the house will be station ary washstand facilities for the girls. Keys to both house and lockers will be provided for each member who enrolls. The fee will cover the eosA of main tenance and kets, and was fixed yester day by the committee at $2 per year for the men and fl for the girls who are. enrolled before the charter member ship lists close on May 15. The plan that has been inaugurated for the regulation of the game and the club house at Reservoir is a new one for this city and in fact is unique among the third class city play ground system of the State. Rules governing the club house and revised rules for the courts will be pre pared at another meeting of the com mittee Friday evening, park office.
