Electrical toasters, egg boilers, grills,
coffee percolators, toaster stoves, tea
pots, water heaters, viii solve many a
| problem as to "what to give" and
even the convenient little heater for
warming baby's milk will find wei
come in many home.
For milady's dressing table nothing
is more useful tnan an electric curling
iron heater or an electric curling iron,
which is self heated. They may be
used while travelling, as well as in the
boudoir, and readily attached to any
lighting circuit.

to the complexion and for preserving
a healthy glow on neck and shoulders.

SETTLING YORK'S DEBTS
Tri-State League Pays Players Claims
On 75 Per Cent. Basis BY Suing
Out Bond of $1,000

Philadelphia courts to recover on the
bond of $4,000 furnished by the back.
ers of the White Roses as a guarantee
of good faith in finishing the season.
bill" Clay, the only Yorker affected
in the paying of claims, has received a
check from President George NJ. Gra-
ham for 1925, in settlement for his
claim of $123. t
President Graham states in his letter
to Clay that the league realized $1,O45
in cash from the suit against the bond
ing company to recover the $4,000
bond. He does not state Just how much
the courts awarded, but the sum men
toned represents the balance remain
ing after the payment of attorney S
fees and costs. When the league took
over the York club it assumed indebt-
edness amounting to $1,845.67 and it
would appear from this that the league
stands to lose about $500 in the trans
action.
Graham told Clay in his letter that
the settlement is upon better basis
than was expected All the league
hoped to do was to pay off on basis
of 80 per cent. The additional 15 per
cent. was possible because of economies
in handling the suit.

transaction, and said last night that the
final papers in the deal were signed
here late Saturday.

EASTERN LEACUERS WIN
Greystock Goes Ahead Of Independents
Late in the aame-Score,
AZ to 80

The Greystock tossers of the Eastern
League defeated the Harrisburg Inde-
pendents Saturday evening in the
Chestnut street auditorium by the score
of A to 80, taking the lead late in
the game after nip and tuck struggle
from the start. Nearly 1000 specta.
tors witnessed the contest.
1t was great game for the specta-
tors, as the score see-sawed back aud
forward in bewildering fashion through
out the first period, almost every field
goal making a slight advantage and
every foul goal tieing up rhe score. At
the call for half time the locals had a
1-point advantage, the score at that
point being 22 to 81.
This story was true of the first part
of the last period until eastman
knocked the breath out of Arthurs, a
Harrisburg guard, who had to be re.
vived by physician. From that time

stock against one by Geisel and two
fouls by McCord won the contest.

THE ART OF MUSIC

Berlioz says emusic is the art of
moving, by systematic combination
of sounds, the affections of intelligent,
receptive and cultivated beings
Weber states: emusic is to the arSs
what love is to a man. In truth, it is
love itself; the purest, loftiest Ian
guage of passion, portraying it in a
thousand shades of color and feeling
Ruskin declares. "Music is the first,
the simplest, the most effective of all
instruments of moral instruction.
Have you ever thought what a desc
late place the world would be without
music9 Have you ever realized that
the entire civil zed world now looks
upon music as one of the great essen
tials in the education of the cultured
man and woman9
Few persons know that the greatest
delight of music comes through the un-
derstanding of it. The highest in mu,

LOCATED IN new QUARTERS
International Motor Truck Department
of International Harvester Com
pany at $40 Walnut Street

The constantly increasing demand
for International Motor Trucks, togeth-
er with the addition of new Models of
greater capacity, necessitated the es-
tablishment of new department, to be
known as the International Motor
Truck Department, which is now locat-
ed in their own well furnished and
snow, white quarters at 619 Walnut
street. c. j. Stevens, manager.
This new department specializing on
motor truck trade, aims to raise the
standard of efficient service and assures
the future protection of International
Motor Truck purchasers.
This supply house wil carry an
abundant line of trucks and truck
parts, thus saving valuable time and
extra expense to their hundreds of pa
irons. An International Garage in
charge of highly efficient expert me-
chanies and demonstrators is main
tanned to insure satisfactory service to
International purchasers. These vital
features, together with the responsibil.
ity and reliability of the International
Harvester Company back of it speaks
for the permanency of the international
Motor Truck industry.
The new 1915 Models "E" and
"M'' are now on exhibit at 619 Wal
nut street, and all parties interested
are cordially invited to visit this de-
partment for inspection.
Students of economic conditions pre-
dicted few years ago that in short
time the investment in the motor truck
industry would nearly equal the present
investment in the railroads of this coun
try, and such gigantic proportions nat
urally excite public interest.
Motor transportation is creating q
revolution in the cost of living and af
fects the people as whole.
The different classes of merchants
consumers and manufacturers of motor
trucks have problems to be solved in
common, and the admitted advantage:
of efficient motor truck service, namely
| improved sanitary comddtions, as com
pared with the unsanitary horse anC
wagon system in their usual crowded
or. congested quarters, the high cost OF
feed and care compared with motol
truek), fuel, and one motor truck unit
replacing two or three horse and wagor
units, eliminating surplus help and con
| geSteu StdDle cOnulllUHS, are dli IdCuof'
much in favor of motor truck service
ami affects the people as whole.
The installation of motor truck is !;
profitable investment, and its genera
efficiency is an admitted fact, and tn,
figures that prove this are astonishing
Neither the merchants nor their pa
irons can afford the continuance of tn,
expensive and unsanitary horse ant
wagon system.
There are approximately seven mil
lion horses and mules now used in ou
cities for delivery purposes and thei
actual service reaches about six years
and a conservative valuation of SIS,
ecah shows an annual mortality loss o
$175,000,000 which adds material,
to the high cost Of living.
The adoption of motor trucks is tn
only logical solution of satisfactor
and economic delivery service and tn
public sentiment Is rapidly being dem
onstrated by increasing patronage t
firms giving motor truck service.
