Paige Company Reports
Many Sales at Chicago

More than a half million dollars
worth of Paige motor cars were sold
at the Chicago Automobile show last
week. This is not only far in excess
of the record made by the Paige at
the New York show, but. Paige Off
cials believe it is the best record yet
made by any company in bonafide
sales at any motor car show.
One of the astonishing features of
this significant recognition of Paige
quality and value is the fact that 263
Paige cars were sold at the Chicago
show exclusively by the Bird-Sykes
Company, Paige distributors for Chi
cago and of these 263 cars ninety-three
were sold at retail directly from the
floor. Added to the sales by the Bird
Sykes Company were large orders
taken in Chicago by other Paige deal
ers and distributors who were present
and the total value of all orders was
well over a half million dollars for
the weeks business.
While the new ''SiX-46' was a hot
favorite in the Paige line and its quail
ity and distinction won for it wide
popularity and immediate orders, the
Paige Glenwood "36" also played an
important part in achieving this re-
markable Paige record.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS
HUNTERS LICENSE
YIELDS 100000
Big Sum For the Legislature to
ReapprOpriate to the Game
Commissions Work

Bills are being prepared to specifi-
cally appropriate TO the State Game
Commission over half q million dol
lars paid into the State Treasury as
hunters licenses. Under the license
act half of the revenue realized was
to go to the commission for establish
ment of game preserves and half for
reimbursement of counties for pay
ments of bounties for scalps of wild
cats, foxes owls and other animals
and birds which annoy farmers and
poultry raisers. The point was raised
that the money could not be paid
without a specific appropriation. Bills
to correct this condition have been
prepared.
The license was taken out by 10000
persons in 1913 and by about 100000
in 1914, the expenses of shipments,
fees of county treasurers and others
having to do with the licenses netting
between S260,000 and S270,000 for
each year. Claims for over $1S7,000
have been made by fifty-four counties
which paid bounties and probably
$4,000 more will be asked.
The game committee of the House
has before it the bill to repeal hunt
ers' license, on which a hearing will
be held, and the Lynch bill to pro-
hibit foreign-born unnaturalized men
from hunting or from keeping dogs
The bill comes from Fayette county
where there are large foreign settle
ments and would end what has become
a nuisance in many sections where
troops of dogs are kept by people who
feed them very little. 1t would also
affect the southwestern counties which
are noted for sheep raising. Dogs are
source of much loss and many of
them are owned by foreigners.

Commission to
Report on Much

The Commission form of govern
ment" will not be a popular feature
of the present Legislature because of
the reduced revenue of the State. Thus
far but few bills or resolutions pro-
viding for commissions have made
their appearance in the Legislature
and some of these are characterized by
the phrase Ito serve without remune-
ration" tackled after the provision for
the appointment of the proposed COM
missioners.
Two commission bills already in
troduced call for aggregate appro-
priations amounting to $4,000. One
measure provides for the creation of a
commission to investigate the aims
houses of the State, and report on
their condition and needs, and car
ries an appropriation of $4,000 for
expenses. The other bill creates a
commission to codify the laws relating
to decedents' estate and also calls for
$4,000 expense money.
There is third bill creating a COM
mission but no appropriation is called
for. This is the measure providing
for a commission to investigate the
practicability of purchasing proper
ties facing Independence Hall in Phil
adelphia to establish plaza or State
Park.
The last Legislature voted $2,513,-
500 for commissions.

To meet the demand of those who

Problems of Designing
Popular Priced Motor Car

The designing of $1,000 automo-
bile is merely child's play by COM
parison with the problem of designing
a pure stream, passenger, four
cylinder car of dependable quality and
selling for $685." said E. w. Shank,
local distributor for Maxwell motor
cars.
IF every prospective buyer OF ear
knew as much about the problems in
volved in the making of the 1915
MaXwell--of the sleepless nights and
the weary days our engineers and spe-
cialists have spent on it; if he could
see the tense faces at the conferences
between the president and various
heads of departments, and read in
those faces not only the seriousness of
the problem involved, but the abso-
lutte honesty of purpose and the de-
sire in every heart to create an ar
ticle as nearly perfect as human in
genuity and good intent could make
it, there would be no need for sales
me nto handle the output of the fac
tory.
THE Maxwell to-day enjoys the dis
tinction of being made by one of the
strongest firms financially in the coun-
try whose sales are increasing at an
extraordinary rate. Locally the Max
well meets the severest tests of the
hills in Dauphin county, and because
of it's meritorious performances, 1t is
gaining new friends daily and we look
forward to a season of prosperity that
will exceed that of any other car in
the same class"

ALL CONSERVATION
To BE COMBINED
Believed That the Proposed New
Department viii Be Taken Up
by the Governor

Much comment has been occasioned
at the Capitol by Questions asked of
men interested in forestry, conserva-
ton and the wild life of the State by
Governor Martin G.. Brumbaugh and
there are renewed reports about a
state Department of Conservation, as
indicated by the Telegraph last night.
Details of the plan have not been
touched but it is believed that the pro-
posed new branch of the government
would include the State Department of
Forestry, the State Water Supply Com
mission, the State Game Commission
and the State Fisheries Commission.
All of these are now separately con-
Quoted with forces of men in the field
and forest.
The Governors idea in reorganizing
inc Department of Agriculture would
be to have the operations of its seven
branches conducted by bureaus and
the whole supervision by a State COM
mission with an executive officer, the
department dealing with the land al
ready improved and the various pro-
ducts, including dairy and food in
spection, fertilizer and other materials
control, orchard supervision, State
veterinarian, chemistry, suppression of
animal diseases and other activities
connected with husbandry of various
kinds.
The New Department
The proposed department of con-
servation was recommended by the
Economy and Efficiency Commission
and the Governor has made a careful
study of the recommendation. The
report suggested a chief at $500,
heads of bureaus of forestry, game
and fish at $4,000 each. The Water
Supply Commission was not included
in the recommendation but its work
is so closely allied that it has been
considered as within the scope of con-
servation that should be conducted
with the others. 1t has under it's
charge the water inventory, supervis-
ion of dams, photographic work, su-
pervision of all structures and banks
of streams and the Pymatuning swamp
project, for which the survey has been
completed and estimates are about
ready for the Legislature.
At the session of 1913 appropria-
tions aggregating S1,183,490.51 were
made to the four departments which
would come under the proposed De-
partment of Conservation and it is
the theory that there could be con-
siderable savings on office and other
expenses. The appropriations includ-
ed some public works aggregating
SlS0,OO0 under charge of the Water
Supply Commission.

We are glad again-for the
third time in two years-to an
nounce a big reduction on Good
year tires, effective February 1st
Goodyear policy on price is to
give the utmost in tire at the
lowest possible profit. Our re-
ductions are made to that end,
without ever reducing the quail
ity.
That always means, with our
matchless output. more for the
money than any other maker
can give.
AS rubber came down our
prices came down. AS our out
put multiplied. reducing factory
cost. our prices came down with
it. In two years our reductions
including the present-have
totaled As per cent.
Last wear we increased our
output 26.6 per cent. A few
days ago the embargo on rubber
was modified so that supplies
seem assured. The market price
for rubber seems for q time es-
tablished. Fabric costs less than
last year. So, under our mini
mum profit policy, we announce
this new reduction.

The Best We Know

Goodyear Fortified Tires offer
the best we know. They are
built to give YOU the lowest cost
per mile. They minimize tire
trouble in five costly ways en-
ployed by no other maker. And
they are always the same, re-
gardless of price reductions.
Most tires will always sell
higher, because of smaller out
put. Some tires will always sell
lower because of lower stand
ards. But we promise you that
none will ever give better than
Goodyear value.
This policy has made Good
years the largest-selling tires in
the world. 1t will make them
more so as more men find them
out.
Ask your Goodyear dealer for
our new price on the size you
buy.

For a long, long time most
tires have sold much above

sold lower, as some always will,
because of less rubber, less quail
ity. But we can and do, under
