SIMPLICITY PLAYS
AN IMPORTANT PART
The Excelsior Motorcycle Is Designed
With This In View.

Without special study, keeping sim
plicity and accessibility constantly in
hind, a motorcycle is apt to become
cry complicated machine. In the
Excelsior auto cycle we have produc-
ed W thout doubt the simplest machine
on TIE market today. For example.
the timing of the motor consists of
merely slipping in a gear with the
arrow on the gear opposite that on
the crank ca @. which times the mag
neto and whole valve action. The
clutch can be adjusted without taking
off the cover from the housing and
with any adjustment of the chains or
rear wheel and, in turn, the rear
wheel can be removed without touch
ing the clutch. A one-piece eccentric
regulates the tension of the chains.
Both valves can be exposed in thirty
seconds by unscrewing a single nut
and can be replaced as easily in the
same way.
Simplicity and accessibility are
points which are as important to the
novice as to the expert repair man.
A beginner can feel that within a few
days he will know his whole machine
by following a few simple instruc-
tions and the repair man knows there
are no "mean jobs" around an Ex-
celsior autocycle.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
FOR MUNICIPAL USE
SHOWN IN PICTURES

Boston.-Electric fire apparatus.
light delivery wagons, electric cars
and heavy duty trucks of the latest
types flashed on the screen of Keith's
Bijou Dream theater Tuesday evening
while more than 100 members and
friends of the New England section of
the Electric Vehicle Association of
America and the Electric Motor Car
Club of Boston heartily applauded
every new indication of the develop
ment of the electric vehicle.
1t was a novel exhibition of the
progress made by the battery-propell
ed vehicle since its introduction in
Massachusetts. Many body types of
various makes passed on the curtain,
members of the organizations telling
their guests of the various makes and
driving home arguments for the cleo
trio vehicle.
The Springfield fire department in
action was received with much en-
thusiasm. A good percentage of the
equipment of the fire department in
that city is Of the electric type.
The parade of the Electric Motor
Car Club last Memorial day, when lis
electric vehicles of various types pa
raded through the streets Of Boston,
starting at Copely square, was also
shown. From the appearance of
President President Day Baker as
chief marshal to the final scene, show
ing Treasurer Leavitt Edgar paying
off the drivers and the photograph
and quotation of Thomas A. Edison
that Fifteen years from now more
electricity will be sold for electric We
hicles than for light" the visitors
kept the auditorium ringing with ap-
plause.
Many guests from Boston and out
Of town fire departments various city
officials and leaders In Greater Bos-
toms industries were present Before
the theater party the club held a reg
ular meeting and dinner at the Geor-
gian, 73 members and guests being
present. Owing to the necessity of
reaching the theater on time. little
business was transacted oher than the
election of one member to class A.

This trip however, is tentative now,
depending on the amount of time the
Cole chief executive can spare.
I'm taking this trip" Mr. Cole says,
1T is for the purpose of getting ac-

sections of the country and to look
over the conditions under which the
Cole representatives have to care for
their customers"
incidentally Mr.. Cole will also make
a side investigation of automobile ad-
vertising conditions. 1t is known that
he is great exponent of newspaper
advertising. AS the west in particu-
lar offers a big field for the right
kind of newspaper advertising, Mr.
Cole will devote some of his time to
getting at the actual localized condi-
tions.
This will not be Mr.. Coles first

When you came into the world
a paper heralded the fact. 1t
told of your entry into school,
printed your name on the honor
roll, and mentioned all your
birthday parties. 1t applauded
your graduation from high school,
started you to college, and men,
toned your first job. 1t an
nounced your marriage as the
elimination of a happy romance"
also told of the advent of your
first born. 1t told of the visits
of your ma and pa, sympathized
with you in your sorrow, laughed
with you in your joy and when
you die, it will do its best to
lift you through the pearly gates.
Now think of it, only one
dollar a year, and some of you
owe us that. Think of it!-Ex.

Crime Films Attacked

An attack on moving picture
shows which exhibit crime films,
as one of the greatest menaces to
childhood, by Miss Kate Davis,
of Washington, ID. C., who has
made an extensive study of the
subject in various cities, featured
the opening session of the Ma,

Miss Davis said the remedy
was reasonable censorship by
means of State legislation to
eliminate the crime suggestive
films.

An excerpt of a sermon deliv.
cred by Rev. E. B. Barnes, Sun.
day, April 10th:
Il feel like saying that the
newspaper is an American prod.
uct. | know of no papers any.
where that reflect life as faith.
fully, that speak with as much
authority, that represent the en-.
terprise of the day so fully as
those published in our own land.
Our cosmopolitan editors were
and are great men. From the
days of Horace Greeley to the
present the number of Ereat edi.
tors has increased with the null.
tiplication of papers. While the
nation does not depend now as
in earlier days upon the word of
Dana or Whitelaw Reid, still the
favorite paper does much to
mould public opinion, and behind
the opinion is the editor. A great
paper means a great man as sure.
ly as Fridays footprint in the
sand meant a man to Robinson
Crusoe.
The newspaper is powerful be-
cause it reaches many people.
The responsibility of an editor is
therefore very great. A bad editor
is menace to the whole people,
and because of that fact vigilant
eyes are upon every editor on
whom rests a suspicion of corrup-
ton. The newspaper goes into
almost every home, and the pro-
vision is wise one which guards
the printed page.
"On the other hand, the clean
journal is powerful agency for
good. 1t is about all the reading
that a great many of our citizens
have. 1t is both book and maya
zine. The laboring man is con-
tent to read the daily paper at
the close of his daily toll, and if
he does that he does well. In
thousands of instances the news
paper is the only library that the
home possesses. 1t has its chron-
icles of crime, its religious items,
its political news, its social chit
chat, and if the paper is a cosmo-
politan, there are represented
within its pages about every form

Trapsylvania Defeated By
Easternites

Last week, on Normal Athletic

throughout out game.
Things went smoothly until the
fourth inning, when Ginter walk
ed, and went to second on Broad
dus sacrifice. Joel Park walked,
Thomas sacrificed, bringing Gin.
ter home for the first score. In
the same inning Joel Park scored
on past ball to catcher.
In the fifth, Lykens, for Tran.
sylvania, scored their first run by
a home run to left field. Am
burgey, for Eastern, hit for two
bags and scored on single by G..
B. Shepard.
In the sixth, Joel Park hit a
liner to center field for a home
run. Curt Park hit for three bags
but died on third when Amburgey
was called out on account of be-
ing hit by batted ball. This com.
pleted the scoring for Eastern,
and Pennsylvania was able to an
mex one more run in the eighth
by two clean hits.
In the seventh inning, Eastern
