When Capable People Arc
Framing a Fair Deal
Measure.

Initiative Measure No. 8, known as
the First Aid" is a drastic measure
and every manufacturer and lumber
man in Washington who has given 1t
any investigation denounces 1t as un-
fair and as a burden which the manu-
facturer and the industry Of Washing
ton can hardly bear. The principle Of
First Aid is good, but this particular
measure invites chicanery and penal
ICES the employer on an average OF
$3.50 more than is provided by similar
laws in any state in the Union and
$3.50 more than in the state of Massa-
ohusetts, which has an average law.
The Industrial Insurance Commits
sion Of Washington, which Is strongly
In favor of the First Aid" principle
asked the Legislature of 1918 to lay
the matter over for two years until
they might investigate this complex
problem in other states and in foreign
countries and be armed with suffici-
emit data at the Session of 1915 to pro-
pose fair and equitable measure.
This investigation has been carried on
conscientiously by not only the In
dustrial Insurance Commission, but by
numerous other interested people, and
there is no question but what the Leg
islature will take this matter up and
pass law based upon the experience
Of other states and countries and one
that will be fair to both the employer
and employee.
The adoption Of this crude measure
is but the first step in this sort Of leg
islation. The next will be, II the ad
vocates succeed to place every sort
Of labor, farm, store and household,
under this law just as being now at
tempted by the proponents Of the
eight-hour measure.

ABUSING a Good Principle.

Very many real friends of the initi-
alive principle propose to vote against
all of the Seven Sisters" and the COM
pulsory Eight-Hour Law, for the one
reason that they believe the law is be-
ing seriously abused by the initiation
OF unnecessary and harmful laws that
will disturb industrial conditions and
increase taxation. People represent
ing no property, no organization, no
potent factor in either property or Ia
Dor, have framed bewildering mass
of laws, regulating everybody and ev-
erything except taxes. Washington
has reached that stage where non-ta&-
payers are proposing and urging tax
legislation.
Friends of the initiative principle
are alarmed at the use to which it 10

MANY Miles
At LITTLE EXPENSE

That the little Car-Nation made by
the American Voiturette Company, of
Detroit, is maintaining the record for
mileage from each gallon of gasoline
established by it on the trip to the
Indianapolis races, is revealed by in
formation from New York City which
came to the factory this week. A
Model c four passenger Car-Nation
made a "a hours nonstop run. II
covered 374 miles, used 13 gallons Of
gasoline-an average Of better than
20 miles to the gallon and one-half
gallon of oil.
The start was made from the serv-
ice station of the American Voiturette
Company, 102 West Forty-sixth street,
and the course followed was east on
Forty-sixth street to Fifth avenue,
north on Fifth avenue to 10th street,
west on 10th street to Broadway,
south on Broadway to Forty-sixth

VAUDEVILLE AT SPRINGS.

Those who enjoy comedy on the stage
will find much TO interest them in the
free vaudeville bill at Brandywine
Springs this week, for there is a team
of western funny men who have an act
of their own that is full of wit and hui
NOR, and they know how TO get it off
so as to interest their audience The
team, which is known as Hubbard and
Rose. recently came east, after a tour OF
the west and they have combined the
western ideas with those of the east,
making a happy combination. One of
the members OF the team is a claver
blackface artist, and his work is on a
par with that of the best minstrel men
seen on the stage. The team works to-
gether splendidly and keeps the audience
laughing all the time il is on the stage.
Of course George w Lewis act is also
comedy, but it combines music of a high
order, which is also one of the features
of the bill, making a combination of
music and comedy that is OF unusual
merit.
Great interest is being taken, especial
ly by those who enjoy music, in the car
nival which is to be held at the park
on August 20 and 2l under the auspices
of the Musicians Union of Wilmington.
1T is proposed to have competition by
a number of the best bands Obtainable
in this part of the country. An effort Is
being made to get some here from Read
ing and other places, and on one of the
nights there will be a concert by the
massed bands, which will be of an un.
usual character.

In the city of Detroit is large and
successful public utility corporation
which generates and sells electric
current for light and power II is
said that electricity may be bought
cheaper there than in any city of
its size in the United States This
is a good thing for the city, as cheap
power is a magnet of remarkable
pull, which draws manufacturers,
large and small. in drovea Il is also
good for the company as its product
finds a ready market.
The Edison Company Is guided by
an able and far-seeing management,
who have placed Il in a commanding
position. AS new apparatus has been
added to meet the demands of COM
munity of phenomenal growth, IL has
become the policy Of the company
to standardize its equipment.
Such a concern cannot afford to
take chances on a long continued
shutdown OF its machinery, and it is
compelled to carry a number of spare
parts to replace those that become
broken or worn out This stock OF
spare parts is reduced TO a minimum
| however, by the policy of standardiz

/ saved in this way is one of the iteml
which make It possible to sell cur

overland NEWCOMER
APPEALS TO public
Is a Seven-PaSSenger Car,
Stylish and Impressive, and
Marvel for Service

An announcement Of more than
usual interest to the general auto
mobile trade and the public. but more
particularly to the many dealers who
handle Overland cars. has just come
from J. n. Willys, president of the
Willys-Overland Company.
Overland engineers have for the
past season been developing and test
ing a new passenger Overland,
which in points of valve, equipment
and price bids fair to be a sensation.
In spite Of the production of $4,000
cars this year, the demand for Over
land cars, il is said has been so great
during the season just drawing to
close that the principal difficulty of
the dealer has been to obtain a plen-
tiful supply of Overlands.
AS announced some time ago, Mr..
Willys will materially increase his
production of four-cylinder models
for 1915. while the new siX-cylinder
Overland, whose preparation has been
so carefully guarded, will, for one
thing serve the purpose of giving
Overland dealers a line of cars so
complete and inclusive as to enable
them to satisfy the varying demands
Of their customers with the product
of a single manufacturer.
In appearance the Overland Six is
stylish and impressive. and, accord
ing to the manufacturers. a revela-
ton in service. The wheelbase is 1875
inches.
The long-stroke motor is rated al
$3.50 horsepower; the handsome
stream-line body seems to indicate
fieetness and power. Tires are 35x4
IL on demountable rims, and every
modern automobile convenience, such
as self-starter, electric lights, etc B..
has been incorporated in the liberal
specifications.
