Il for 25 cents per quart, and one
quart Is enough to preserve twenty
dozen eggs For this number a s.
gallon stone or earthenware crock
is the most satisfactory receptacle.
Heat ten quarts Of water to boiling
point and then allow Il to cool Then
pour the water into the crock and
one quart Of water-glass and mix
the two. The solution is then ready
for the eggs. Place the eggs In the
water glass solution each day as
soon as they are laid Use only the
naturally clean, not washed, fresh
eggs. When the crock is filled to
within two inches of the top, cover
and store in cool, dry place until
winter.
BY this method the eggs may be
stored during the spring and sum-
mer when the prices are cheap and
the production high, for use in the
winter when the prices are high and
the production low. The farmers
and townsinen alike may save many
dollars by this method of cheap egg
storage. II Is of the greatest inn
portance taat the eggs should be alb
,solutely fresh. Water-glass will
not make the bad eggs good, but IL
will keep the good eggs from be.

in Minneapolis was recovered in San
Antonio. Tex, and one stolen in Provi-
dence, r. l., turned up in Los An
geles. In each of these cases the cars
would have been located long before,
but for the fact that the thieves had
kept them out of Studebaker garages
they had passed enroute.
Tracing of cars is done by means
of a complicated system of numbers
stamped on the motor, chassis and
various other arts of each Studeba
ker car and its equipment Some of
these numbers are hidden. Others
are in plain sight, and often these
are removed. But q defaced num-
ber is sure to lead to inquiry later on,
and no thief, not conversant with the
system of numbering, can expect to
deface all the means of identification
provided.
Accurate record is xept of all the
numbers at the Studebaker headquar-
ters in Detroit. The man in charge
can, If given one of half dozen num-
bers, identify any one of 10000
Studebaker cars and supply the name
of its original owner. A simple bull
letin service from this department
puts on the trail of any stolen car at
least 1000 skilled detectives. Sooner
or later the thief must show up with
his car at a Studebaker garage; thus
ending his joyride and paving the
way for long rest, far from further
temptation.

MORE AUTO EXHIBITS
: THIS YEAR THAN EVER
Greater Number Of Cars, Access
cries; and Other Features
to Make Show Success

Thirty different makes of cars and
fourteen accessory exhibits. including
motorcycles. will comprise the dis
play at the fifth annual automobile
show that will open at the Arena-Rex
buildings in North Third street, next
saturday. A greater number of ex-
nloits are contracted for this year
tnan any preceding year. This speaks
well for the Harrisburg Automobile
Dealers' Association, under whose
auspices the show is being held.
The floor plan is practically the
same as last year. with Updegrove's
orchestra engaged to render the mu-
slcal selections during the week at the
same space as the orchestra was
placed last year. Light as day dur
ing the day and evening is assured
because of the large arc lights that
nave been placed in both rooms. A
popular feature this year, among the
the exhibitors especially, is the plac-
ing telephone in each exhibit space
and a central switchboard so that any
person can be communicated with at
moments notice.
The local dealers are as busy as
cars from the freight yards and ar
ranging all the details necessary for
their respective exhibits. And J..
clyde Myton, manager of the show,
with headquarters at the Motor Club
rooms. has placed his window cards
and posters all through this section of
the State and looks forward to this
show as the crowning achievement in
his career as show promoter. And,
he certainly has put the professional
promoter in the shade, as far as Har-
risburg is concerned.

Vanderbilt Cup Race a
Victory For Miller Tires

The Marmon car driven by GUY
Ball, which came in second in the
Vanderbilt cup race, and the Alec with
Billy Taylor at the wheel landing in
third decides the championship for
tire endurance still in favor of the
Miller Rubber Company of Akron.
Ohio.
Miller tires have held the road race
course records for endurance since
Teddy Tetzlaff equipped his car for
the Vanderbilt and Indianapolis races
early last year, and in the many big
speed events that were held on both
track and road. the tires have de-
Tended their makers claims remark
ably well.
1t is the process of manufacture
that the Miller Company claims for
their tire consistency, as the proper
curing is the only feature in tire con-
struction which maintains the natural
quality In rubber, and gives good serv-
ice both on road and track. This COM
pany uses the one cure wrapped tread
method of constructing, which, they
claim Is their exclusive process for
making the strong and durable rubber
in their tires.
What seems to be the prevailing
thought among motorists in connection
with racing, is that tire concerns build
special stock for the racetrack, for
manufacturers build high powered
cars.
The Miller Company however, de-
nies such statements, as anyone can
select a tire of identically the same
material and workmanship as those
used by speed kings, from any Miller
dealer.

to have, the fact of great manu-
facturer taking the public into his
confidence to the point of outlining his
policy is rare enough to create much
comment.
It is a long established fact that
motor car owners by the thousand
look to see what the Cadillac endorses
and discards. To these owners the
Cadillac is accepted as standard, If
not actually an ideal; and this impress
sion, the company finds extends far
beyond the circle of those who actu-
ally own and drive Cadillac cars.
Since the company made its recent
announcement hundreds who had been
awaiting some word from an authori'
tative source have bought Cadillacs.
Through it's dealers in many parts of
the country the company learned that
prospective buyers would not consider
a car of any type unless the Cadillac
should market 1t. 1t was largely in
response to such views that the recent
announcement was made. as we'll as to
quiet reports which had gained GER
tain amount of circulation and cre-
dence.

Hudson Carried Teddy to

Montevideo may not be the center

astically about his hot tamale recep-
ton in the South American capital.

DEALERS JOIN TO
TRACE STOLEN CARS
Studebaker Sales Organization
Works Out Plan That
Battles Thieves

When his Studebaker "Slx" fell
prey to a discriminating automobile
thief, DR.. H. G. Peregrine. of Seattle.
notified both the police and the local
Studebaker dealer.
The police threw out their usual
drag net. The dealer set in motion
a plan of detection. carefully worked
out for Just such an emergency.
Within twenty-four hours his friend
the dealer informed DR.. Peregrine that
his car was in a certain garage in
Portland, where it had been stored
after It's arrival by boat several min
utes before.
The car was recovered and an ar
rest followed.
That was quick work and repre-
sented an unusually striking instance
of the facility with which a stolen
Studebaker car can be traced. But the
result would have been the same in
the long run, regardless of the route
taken by the thief. Eventually he
would have run foul of the watchful,
patient, infallible system by which the
movements of each Studebaker car
be traced.

PRISON LABOR FOR
ROADS, ADVOCATED
Organized Labor Favors Remov.
ing Them From Competitive
Business Channels

Organized labor has called upon
manufacturers and citizens generally
! throughout the country to stand be-
hind the National Committee on Prison
Labor in its endeavor to bring about
In the different States a system where
py the prisoner shall be employed di-
rectly under State control on roads,
farms. or in manufacturing articles for
use in the institutions and depart
ments under the control Of the State.
For the past four years this COM
mittee and the labor unions, especially
the United Garment Workers of AM
erica, have been fighting what Is
known as the leasing system, whereby
the labor Of the convict is sold to the
highest bidder. the bid always being
from so per cent. to rs per cent. less
than Is paid to the workers in the
same line of industry outside Of our
penal institutions.
The effect of this prison competition
is illustrated by figures gathered by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of Missouri,
which has just completed an exhaus-
tive investigation into conditions at
the Missouri State Prison at Jeffer-
son City.
The clothing factory at that prison
reported an output for 1912 of over
alls and other garments valued at over
two and half million dollars. The
convict working force consisted of S87
men and "A women, a total of 931,
while for their labor the State re-
ceived $20O,269. The total amount
paid out In wages and salaries for
superintendents, etc., was S371,3S5.
From these figures 1t will be noted
that the cost of labor. was so small
when compared to that at a similar
factory outside the prison walls as to
be startling.
Free manufacturers are asked to
compare their own payroll with that
Of the contractors at this prison where
for healthy male convicts rs cents per
day was paid, while for few cripples
and the women the figure was only SO
cents per day.
The National Committee on Prison
Labor and the unions see that this un-
fair competition can be overcome by
the work for the State whereby no
prison goods reach the open market,
but these two groups need the sup
Fort of all interested either for bust
ness or humanitarian reasons to bring
about results which shall be effective
and lasting.
From a practical business stand
point organized labor has brought this
matter before the people of the coun-
| try and awaits their action.
