CuALMER MOTOR COMPANY
LOOKS FOR BOOM IN 1915
Present Year to Be One of Economy in
Auto Industry, but Not One Of
Lower Priced Cars, Says President
of Firm

eff the year 1915 is to be marked
by one tendency more than another in
automobile buying, that one thing, l
believe will be greater discrimination
than ever before on the part of the au-
tomobile buying public,' says Hugh
Chalmers, president of the Chalmers
Motor Company.
''People these days are exercising
better Judgment in their selection OF
motor cars. They are far sighted. They
are choosing their cars on the basis of
the economy they will secure in the
long run-which, after all, is the log
ical way.
"The difference of few dollars in
first cost between one ear and another
is no longer the determining factor
Neither is the difference of q few dol
lars one way or the other in the cost
of gasoline or oil during the course of
the year. Even the slight saving
which one car may show over another
in the item of tire expense no longer
chnches the decision of motor car
buyer.
"It is the saving possible in repair
expense that is the big, important saw
ing. One way in which good design
and good building evidence themselves
is by cutting down repair expense. Ono
reason why some cars are better than
others is because they do not roll up
big repair bills.
$50 when | predict that this year
will be remembered as a year of econ
omy in the automobile industry, | do
not mean to imply that people will buy
lower priced ears than they did before.
First cost is only one phase of the
question, and wise motor car buyers,
when hesitating between two cars of
almost equal price will buy the more
expensive machine of the two providing
that car can show better performance
at lower all-around cost of operation
Economy in oil consumption is a
still less important item, for the great
est possible saving in oil expense is a
negligible factor.
"Repair economy is the economy
that counts. One repair bill may wipe
out all the saving of a year in gasoline
and oil. That is why motor ear buyers
to-day are casting their verdict in ia
vor of cars that keep repair expense at
minimum. There are four thing
that people these days look for when
seeking motor car economy which is
real motor car economy.-Adv.

BARRED FROM HOTELS
Jack johnson Not Welcomed by Ha-
vana Bonifaces

Havana, Feb. 23.-The unexpected
appearance in Havana early yesterday
of Jack Johnson, the negro heavy
weight pugilist who is on his way to
Mexico to fight Jess Willard in defense
of the worlds heavyweight pugilistic
championship, was followed by his
equally unexpected disappearance from
public view Last night nobody except
members of his party who arrived here
with johnson, and few friends, knew
of his whereabouts. No one would dis
close his place of abode.
When johnson and his party, con
sisting of his wife and brother, man
ager, sparring partner and servants,
with great quantity of baggage, ar
rived from Cienfuegos, which port was
reached Sunday night on board n
schooner from Barbados, they drove to
prominent hotel and registered, but
few minutes later were requested to
vacate their apartment. After this, it
is said, the pugilist endeavored to Sc
cure lodgings at all the principal hotels,
but was unsuccessful. Finally, however,
according to the statement of friends,
the party found refuge in private
house, the location of which has not
been disclosed.

Grand OPERADRoWNS THE
RACTlME At THE ORPHEUM
Omar Company Splendidly Renders Sc
lections From verdi-Among 9th
er Performers on Bill Is Bear on
Roller Skates

Ragtime is plentiful, as usual, on the
bill which opened at the Orpheum yes
terday, but the grand opera in the
closing act completely browns it. The
music when the Omar company pro.
vides is of the sort seldom heard by
vaudeville patrons, but always enjoyed
when 1t is heard, for it is the music
of all time.
The act is in four scenes, and selec
tions are given from Verdi 5 "Il Troy
atore" and 'Rigoletto. Miss Kath
leen Nordy, dramatic soprano, in the
role of Leonora in the tower scene, ha:
a wonderful voice, which blends wei
with that of H. c. Sylvers, tenor, a.
Manrico. The closing scehe, with the
splendidly harmonious singing of the
principals and chorus, is a finale of tn,
sort which one wishes every Orpheun
show could provide, which arrangement
is. of course, out of the question.
Skating Bear a Novelty
The skating bear is surely novelty
The beast wears roller skates and keep,
on its hind feet very successfully. L
| Is graceful for bear, although its un
avoidaible awkwardness is a pleasing
part of the performance.
Speaking about animal acts, there
are Hoey and Lee, who persist in call
ing each other monkeys and do thei
best to act the parts. Their antics ar,
of the usual comedian variety. Thei
popular song parodies are good.
The Willie brothers do stunts in equi
librium which are really remarkable
If anybody in the audience, is no
forced to hold ms breath at time
during the act, it must be some ir
responsible fellow in the gallery VIII,
is himself out of harms way and doe
not care what happens. Occupants o
orchestra seats are very noticeabl,
nervous during the performance.
Milton Pollock and company, il

tainer, even if most of the applaus

TO REORCANIzE ATTORNEY
Generals Department
Bill Now Being Drafted Under the
Personal Supervision Of Mr.. Brown
Is Said to Have the Backing Of
Governor Brumbaugh

A bill is now being drafted under
the personal supervision of Attorney
General Brown, which is said to have
the backing of Governor Brumbaugh,
for the reorganization of the Attorney
General s Department, which is intend
cd to have one general legal force for
the Commonwealth. At present the At
torney General and three assistants
comprise the States legal force, the
salaries aggregating s35,O00. But, out
side of this, there is special legal help
for various departments that cost the
State in the neighborhood of 100000
in the past two years.
These extra counsel are attached to
the Dairy and Food, Health, Mining,
Fish, Game, Education, Insurance and
other branches of the government. 1t is
contemplated, by creating distinct
legal staff, to provide the Attorney
General with a force that will have
charge of all legal matters of every
branch of the government, one that will
devote its full time to the affairs of
State instead of few prescribed or
special duties. The reorganization was
first suggested in the report of the
Economy and Efficiency Commission by
Barry 5. McDevitt, the chairman.
