RATE REGULATION PREDICTED
Expert Declares Competitive Schedule
Will Go I'm Few Years


Philadelphia, Nov. THAT the day
will come. within the next few years,
when the freight rates on water traffic
through the Panama Canal will be
regulated through the agency of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, was
the prediction made by Emory r.
Johnson, a member of the faculty of
the Wharton School of Accounts and
Finance of the University of Penn
sylvania, a member of the State Pub
lie Service Commission and an au-
thority on the transportation facilities
of the Panama Canal, last night, at a
smoker in the Robert Morris Club,
Eighteenth and Cherry streets. DIR.
c. c. Harrison, president of the club,
presided.
The first effect of the opening of the
Panama Canal, said DR.. Johnson, is
the active and open competition be-
tween the steamship and railway
/ lines. Each branch of traffic is trying
to outdo the other in making cheap
rates for the carrying of goods from
coast to coast, he asserted. When both
branches get the traffic they desire.
then the rates will settle down to a
normal basis.

BRIGHTER TIMES COMING

Harrisburg merchants returning
from New York since Tuesdays elec-

confidence among manufacturers and
the general business community.
Advices from Philadelphia are to
the effect that there is "unmistakable
evidence of a widespread belief tha.
the danger post. the worst is yet to
come" has been passed is furnished
in preparations that are under way on
various lines of manufactures for han
ding bigger volume of business. An
optimistic note is sounded by Brad
streets, which says:
Continued improvement in senti-
ment, additional ease in money market
matters. increased interest in stocks
and bonds at higher prices, heavy grain
exports. sustained demand for war
materials at remunerative prices, high
prices for cereals and livestock. some
what better collections. excellent win

MARKET CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Better Inquiry; Feeling Among Pro-
ducers Becoming More Cheerful


A better inquiry is reported for GER
tain lines of steel, but the tonnages in
volved continue to run verv small.
Sentiment among the producers is un-
questionably more cheerful and def
mite improvement in the volume of
buying by domestic consumers is look
ed for soon owing to the very low
state of stocks.
The London correspondent of Iron
Age says: Pig iron is very slow
Home export makers want orders, but
prices keep wonderfully steady con-
sidering everything. Hematite pig
shows weakness and ore is falling.
Nothing is being done in ferroman-
ganese, which is quoted at f12
($5S.39). Furnaces in blast are 160,
against 1877 last year. Stocks of pig
iron in Connals stores are 104,991
tons. against 1O7,725 last week Semi
finished steel is easy, but British prices
are cheaper than American, though
the latter seem more inclined to cut
in. 1t is impossible to trace any Sc
| rious business yet The demand for
finished steel is poor and prices are
easing down continually, while Amer
lean Independents are more anxious
for business. Tin plates are rather
steadier, mainly on the tin position

BIG CAR SALES ARE
| VERY ENCOURAGING
Oldsmobile Sales Manager Asserts
Small Four Is Great Aid to
Large Car Sales

Rumors to the effect that the intro
duction of small four cylinder cal
ON the market by the manufacturers
of the Oldsmobile is the precursor OF
an exclusive small car production
were set at naught by ]. V. Hall, Sales
Manager of the Olds Company who
asserts that their lower priced model
is proving an aid and not a hindrance
to the sale of higher priced cars.
Light is cast by Mr.. Hall on the SUBJ
ject which has been considerably dis
cussed among automobile manufacture
ers: what effect does the production
OF small car have on sale of a high
er priced model? 1t is natural to as
sumo, he states. that the output of the
Olds factories would be confined more
and more to the less expensive cars,
for which there is a more wide spread
demand; but in actual practice the
contrary has happened. While the
preponderance of demand favors the
lower priced car there has been a con-
sistent increase in the demand for big
cars since the marketing of the small
car model was begun.
This was attributed to the influence
brought to bear on buyers by seeing
the streets of the large cities and also
to the fact that, except for size, the
new four cylinder model has a strik-
ing similarity in appearance to the
big six" Oldsmobile.
More over the bringing out of the
lower priced car asserts Hall. has
entailed the appointment of over 400
new dealers since the first day of
August, 1914 and this increase in re-
presentation has greatly improved the
possibilities for selling large cars; for
not a few of our new dealers located
in out of the way places are discover
ing that among the residents of a
small town there are one or two peo-
pie of sufficient means to purchase
and maintain a large car. Conse-
quently we are receiving orders for
six cylinder cars from sources we
could not by any chance have reached
with our previous representation when
our dealers were located almost entir-
ely in big cities.
Even though the small town deal
er considers the smaller type of car
as his meal ticket. still he does not
hesitate to talk the more expensive
model when he believes there is any
chance of closing sale" Hall says,
"and the handicap of not having
big six demonstrator on hand is largely
offset by the fact that the four cylin-
der car is so near like the six in ap-
pearance."

FRENCH GOVERNMENT USES
MAXWELL IN DEFENSE
WORK

An interesting story has reached
the Detroit office of the Maxwell Motor
company. concerning the use to which
Maxwell cars have been put by the
French Government.
To defend their possessions in the
Pacific Ocean, the French have pur-
chased several Maxwell touring cars
and have mounted rapid fire guns on
them. These cars so equipped will do
patrol duty in case hostile battleships
should attempt to invade these islands.
This is splendid testimonial TO the
sturdiness and reliability of the Ameri-
can motor car.

whose headquarters are on the island
of Tahiti. report the sale of fifty Max
wells to the French Government, pre-
sumably for the same purpose; that of
defense work.

Not a Blood Trouble.

Properly speaking acne is not a blood
trouble; 1t comes from a DETECTION or
clogging up of the sebaceous glands. and
1t is possible that 1t is accompanied with
certain changes in the cellular structure
of the skin. 1t is, therefore, a trouble
of the skin. although, as the skin is fed
by the capillaries, it is affected by any
thing that affects the condition of the
blood. Indigestion, nervousness, anything
that causes flushing, are all contributory
causes to acne.
There is a white acne which shows no
inflammation at all. but the most common
form of this trouble has a marked red
Inflammation with pimples. more or less
severe, and more troublesome case will

and burn before they suppurate. Acne
of this sort is apt to leave scars, and the

treated.

What Not to Eat or Drink.

In laying down a diet for the amelora-
don of acne a safe. general rule is as
follows Avoid constipation and eat and
drink nothing that irritates the stomach
or causes Indigestion. fiattulency or acidi-
ty. Confine the diet to chicken, roasted
or grilled meats, we'll baked stale bread,
or toast, and vegetables, simply cooked
and seasoned. In some cases acid fruit,
like oranges or grape fruit should not be
taken on an empty stomach, but fruit
and salads should be freely eaten. An
excess of starchy food is bad for all skin
troubles and many people who live simply
and healthfully in most respects take too
much starchy food. Large quantities Of
bread. potatoes or rice should not be ta-
ken at the same meal.
Condiments. such as mustard. pickles,
pepper, catsup. should be Stunned by
anyone suffering from acne or flushing

No Need to Fear Face Powder.

A good face powder will not increase
acne; on the contrary 1t will help 1t by
protecting the skin and relieving irrita-

on the skin rub in gently a little good
toilet cream before applying.
Acne affected skin should be treated
with the greatest gentleness.
