SPECIAL AUTO FOR
POLICE SERVICE
Rambler Chassis Will Be Used in
Construction of Novel
Motor Car

l. H. Bill. manager of the local
branch of the Thomas B. Jeffery com
pany, has received a letter from the
home office stating that within the
next two months an automobile COM
pany of Harrisburg. Pa, will deliver
to that city one of the handsomest
combination ambulances and police pa
troll wagons that any city in the coun-
try can claim. The specially con-
structed body is built upon a Ram
bier 40 horsepower chassis, which has
all of the distinctive features of the
Rambler construction.
A clearing of seven feet inside will
afford ample room for four patients at
one time, if necessary. The body is
high enough for a man of average
height to stand erect in, and is finished
with floor of double oak separated
by asbestos. The top of the little
room is equipped with a large electric
light. When in use for patrol service
all length seats will occupy the sides,
with extra seats in front and rear.
This will accommodate eleven PATROL
men and driver. Triple doors have
been fitted to the rear, which allows
of the entire back being thrown open
when in use for ambulance purposes,
while wire screened doors will be used.
The car is equipped with quick detach-
able tires, and an extra Rambler spare
wheel. Several firms were bidders for
the city contract and the Rambler peo-
pie feel it is an excellent tribute to
the car that it was selected for such
a purpose.

LABOR LAWS OF HOLLAND
PROTECT WORKINGMEN
EMPLOYERS Also Get Square
Deal

Holland is a little place, but its labor
laws contain some useful hints even
for more progressive countries. For
instance. it is a provision of the Dutch
statutes that regulations made by en-
ployers are not binding on workingmen
unless the latter have been handed a
complete set of the rules. Another set
must be deposited with the justice of
the peace for the information of the
public and a third copy posted in the
factory.
Wages must, as rule, be paid in
currency although a baker may pay
a small part of wages in bread, and
servants receive part of their wages in
board and lodging. Part payment in
nrovisions and groceries is illegal and
void This latter enactment was put in
force to prevent employers from COM
pelling workmen to buy in certain
stores kept by the employer or some
protege of his.
Tn case wages are not paid at the
Stimulated time the employe can, at the
expiration of three days, get 5 per cent
additional for every further day his
wages are withheld, but the additional
sum must not be more than SO per cent
of a weeks wages. sunday labor is
performed only after written contract.
All employees boarding with their
emnlovers are entitled to six weeks
medical treatment

NEW ENGLANDERS ARE

Southern Woman Finds Sympa-

1t is pleasant in these days of rush
and haste in keeping up with the pro-
cession in our modern life to remember
that there are always peSple ready to
turn aside from the daily routine of
personal cares and work to lend the
helping hand of sympathy in time of
trial. These remarks are prompted by
the testimony voluntarily given last
week by widowed mother, compar-
atfve stranger in this city, to whom had
come a crushing sorrow. This woman.
a southerner, was deeply touched
by the quick response of the people
in this city who sensed her loss and
through cordial expression of human
sympathy made easier the bearing of
the burden of grief. To the new conner
it was revelation of northern broth
erhood and humanity. dispelling an i'm
preston that she had that we of New
England were a cold and reserved peo-
pie 1t was this woman's desire that
in an. impersonal way some expression
of her gratitude and appreciation
might be publicly made.-Springfiei

A. r. Pardington of the Long Island
motor parkway is the originator of an
interesting contest which will be intro
duced as one of the features of the
Queens Borough bridge celebration to be
held in the near future. The game will
be known as the motor hunt. Those
participating do not need to be profess
sional chauffeurs or operators to enjoy
the contest Three hundred square
miles on Long Island has been selected
as the territory over which the game
will be played.
An automobilist, either an owner or
operator, will start from the Manhattan
end of the Queens Borough bridge at 8
o'clock in the morning of the event
He will be supplied with a checking
card, numbered according to the num-
ber of stations that>are selected. This
card is shown at the stations and the
person in charge punches the number
and hands over a ticket bearing the
location and number of the station.
The entrant must then find the next
checking station, in order to accomplish
which he may have to retrace his
course or turn a sharp corner. The
winner must have collected the great

A car suitably marked with banners
and flags will be kept on the roads
within the territory and will be known
as the "derelict' control, which will
wander around aimlessly at moderate
rate of speed. The car will contain a

WILL TEST Effect
OF CARS ON ROADS
Federal Government Will Hold
Exhaustive Experiments
With Automobiles

For the next few weeks tests and
experiments of more than usual i'm
portance to all those who use the high
ways and roads of every state in the
union will be conducted by the office OF
public roads of the department of agrf-
culture of the United States. Not only
will the effect of the wear and tear of
the traffic of the horse and the motor
car be most thoroughly investigated,
but brake tests will also come in for
their share of prominence. These lat
ter will be made of both classes or
traffic, the horse and the automobile,
for the purpose of determining the dis
tance required to stop each of the two
types of vehicles at different rates OF
speed under emergency conditions
All necessary facilities for carrying
out these tests are being supplied the
office of public roads by the American
automobile association.
A suitable road has been found with
in the limits of Greater New York,
where the experiments will be made.
Among those who are very much IN
terested in these tests are many off1cers
of the United States army. A delega-
tion of these officers has been asked
to assist in carrying out the plans FOR
muIated by l.. w. Page, director or the
office of public roads, and his committee
and the good roads board of the Amerl-
can automobile association.
All the state highway commissioners
in the country have been invited 10
attend the tests, or to send representa-
tives, so that the results of the expert
ments made and knowledge received
may be beneficial to the entire country.
Another important fact OF these
tests will be the assistance the results
will give to those who are endeavorlng
to make uniform laws and traffic legis-
lation 1t has been well advertised
throughout the country that these tests
are being held for the solution of an
economic question, and not for sport,
and will therefore be attended by men
of deep thought and large experience.
Important dust trials will be held, and
such. features as the shape and size
of the body of the car and the tires
used will come up for the consideration
of those in attendance. The construc-
tion and material used in the con-
struction of roads will also receive due
consideration.
