Two Million Automobiles.

Two million automobiles represent
an investment for. the buyer of at

Their upkeep and operation must
cost per year nearly as much as the
original cost of the machines. But
they evidently pay, and more and
more in commercial sense, or they
would not go on increasing so great

they have given to good roads con-

lad with the arrows was victorious
Dan was engaged in his favorite pas
time of shooting arrows into hearts over
in Fort Dodge. Ia, some time ago. He
pierced the heart of Miss Agnes Doyle.
and the corresponding arrow he shot into
the manly bosom of Archie Armstrong.
The young god hadn't inquired ebout
the religious beliefs of the pair. He just
thought they were suitable for each
other.
Next appeared stern parents. This
marriage can never, never be, said stern
parents.
Cupid is used to this sort OF trouble
First thing stern parents knew their
daughter had disappeared and Arms. rong
had also gone.
Then the government was called on and
its thousands of arms reached out and
located the pair. Finally Armstrong was
arrested in St. Joseph, and technically
charged with violation of the Mann act
However, stern parents, seeing there
was no other way, that Dan cupid had
struck the hearts fair and square with
his arrows, capitulated, and they were
married by the j. p, and let as hope
will live happily ever after"

The State Federation of Labor was
also represented at the hearing and
went on record as endorsing the bills
for final passage in the Senate in the
same shape as they passed the house.
The Attorney General appeared be-
fore the committee against nearly all
amendments offered. He declared
that most of the amendments offered
were destructive rather than construc-
tive. No act could be created, he
said, that would not bear a little heav-
Ter on one industry than another, and
he urged all employers in Pennsylva-
MIA to be big enough and broad
enough to accept the bills, at least as
an experiment, in the interest of the
common welfare of all the people of
the State.
The clauses in the common law de-
lenses giving employees h right to
plead as a defense the negligence of
fellow servants and assumption of
risks were denounced by the Attor-
ney General as inhuman," "unrea-
sonable," "unconscienable"' rules laid
down by a few judges in the "misty
past" and that no judge would lay
down such rules to-day.
The Attorney General also opposed
the suggestion that employees should
pay 10 per cent. of the insurance
fund.
