demand for the better grade of Ameri-
can car" says Mr.. Hutton. "The we'll
built Yankee a equipped with self
starter, electric lights and other con-
veniences, is meeting with a tremen-
dous demand and our only problem is
securing enough ears to go around.
Il was fortunate enough to secure
the first Dodge Brothers a shipped
into Ireland and | have driven it over
5000 miles, covering practically every
county. This machine, with it's Won
derful hill climbing ability and easy
riding qualities is the type of car
which will sell most readily in Euro
pean markets. In a long journey
through the Wicklow Mountains, /
was able TO make all of the steep
grades on high gear with this car,
and had little trouble on the rough
est Of our country roads.
Many officers in Irish and English
regiments have purchased American
cars, before leaving for France, and
because most of these ears are fitted
with self-starters, their wives are OBJ
tanning full enjoyment from the ma
chimes at the present time"
After driving his Dodge Brothers
car for the past few months, Mr.. Hut
ton decided to visit the United States
in an effort to secure the sales rights
for the car in Ireland. He is particu-
larry pleased with the handsome new
roadster models which are now being
shipped from the Detroit factory, and
intends to have one shipped to his
home in Ireland.

A BAD BITE

While attempting to kill a huge rat

year-old boy employed on a ranch near
Bockerville, was struck by the snake
and only his presence Of mind saved
his life. The fangs of the reptile
struck him just below the knee and
the boy, having first killed the r~attler,
bound his leg above the point where
the fangs had entered, utilizing his

New Zealand organized a life insur-
ance company in 1870 and has accumu-
lated a fund Of s22, 500, 900, with an an
nual income of $2,750,000. This gives

| have not the statistics at hand, but
know that the amount of life insur-
nee money that goes to a few eastern
states is enormous. Comparatively
very little of that money m west
for development investment purposes.
l would recommend that for a Sec
ond source Of money for Investment
we follow the example of New Zealand
and organize a state life insurance
company. In addition outside insur-
ance companies should be required to
keep on deposit with the several state
banks a certain part Of their reserve
funds as security for insured citizens.
The state bank should, of course,
be the fiscal agent of the state, and all
state funds be deposited with it.
l believe that from sources suggest
ed sufficient funds could be secured to
very materially reduce the prevailing
rates of interest and if one state in
the union can duplicate Canada, West
Australia, or New Zealand, we will
very soon be able to include the federal
unit, and perfect an American system
of investment for the encouragement
of production and development; The
very best in the world.

BIG DEMAND FOR AMERICAN
CARS ABROAD

With every British automobile fac
tory engaged in turning out wal mum
tons and cars for the Allies, Ameri
can-made motor cars are gaining a
still irmer grip on the European mar
ket, according to George Hutton, a
well known automobile engineer of
Dublin, Ireland.
Notwithstanding the unsettled con
ditions and the fact that a good many
of our ~able-bodied men are at the
front, there still continues a very brisk

(By II. L. Loucks. Waterfowl. S. d.
That 1t will require several years to
arouse the people and move congress
to enact a scientific Federal invest
ment banking system as outlined may
as well be conceded.
Accepting the theory that whatever
the community as a unit can do for
the individual members more efficient
ly and economically than the individ-
ual members of the community car do
for themselves, the community should
do when a majority of said unit ap-
proves; we should while waiting for
federal action be working and demon
strating that the plan suggested is
practical in SO far as the state, county
and individual units are concerned.
/ believe that each state in the
union is rich enough in natural re-
sources and intelligent, industrious
citizenship, that If freed from unjust
determinations and exactions by pri-
vate monopolies, could and would pro-
duce enough wealth. which II proper
ly conserved and administered would
develop the state from within more
satisfactorily than Is being done under
our present system.
Our forefathers did 1t; other nations
are doing 1t: we can do 1t.
Using the state as the unit, each
state In the union can provide the
credit for the individual members for
production and development for a
much longer time and at a lower rate
of interest than Is being charged at
present. Why wait for Federal action?
The Post Office savings bank has
failed in its mission to encourage
thrift and saving, as its advocates in
tended, and has become primarily a
medium to gather deposits for the ma
tional banks at a saving to them OF
from 2k to 3h%.

ROCK RUN DAM
Permits Will Stand

sion Decides Coatesvllle
Water Plant Problem
INSIST PURE WATER
SUPPLY MUST BE HAD

HARRISBURG. Sept. 2.-The State
Water Supply Commission has, after
full consideration of the petition Of
citizens OF Coatesville 10 revoke the
permit for the construction of tho
Rock Run Dam, which Is to supply
the water for the borough. decided
that It Cannot take any action which
would tend to further delay the Sc
curing Of pure water supply for
Coatcsyille borough"
This action sustains the stand
taken by the borough officials who,
acting under the decree of Dr. Sam
uel q. Nixon, as commissioner Of
Health, and under the permit of the
Water Supply Commission, had pass
ed a loan for S1S5,00O for the con-
struction Of the dam and the installa-
tlon Of q new water supply system
At a hearing last week several hun
dred protestants appeared before the
commission and both sides were
heard. Opposition TO the dam comes
from the manufacturers who contend
that should the dam ever break theiI
plants would he wiped out and a part
of the town with them.
The commission however, says Il
the petitioners will submit plans tC
the commission for the erection o
a dam az Buck Run. the stream favor
ed by the petitioners. and evdenct
that all parties Of interest are salts
fed and that the money for the Bucl
Run dam and works is available, ant
further. that work can start ther,
without further delay, the commission
will consider the approval Of appica
ton
As II was brought out at the recen
hearing, though that this changi
would not be made antil the next ses
sion of the Legislature, it Is not con
sidered probable that work on tn
Rock Run project will be held M
much longer.
The case Is reviewed in a resolu
tion by Doctor Dixon. who Is also
member of the Water Supply Com
mission, and seconded by Commits
sioner Zentmeyer It was adopted b.

Mr.. O'Connell is the only tailor i'm this
city who handles the goods of S. S.
Stein and Company of New York. An
interesting feature, and one that
makes this store different from the
majority Of stores, is that no suit
bought there can be duplicated as TO

only enough materials of one kind TO
make one suit or overcoat as the case
may be- and the man who buys at
