FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

We are called upon, this week, to re-.
cord an event which has cast desola-
tion and gloom upon the family OF one
Of our citizens, and which will also
serve as warning to others. A cou.
pie OF weeks ago occasion WAS had to
use a certain quality Of sand to pack
around the furnaces to be used in
warming the new school building on
the north side. A desirable quality Of
sand WAS found on the Park grounds
Immediately adjoining the school, and
a quantity was taken away, leaving
the excavation thereby made somewhat
exposed and attractive to the young
folks who attended the school, and who
Immediately proceeded to make an ar
tifcial cave. The sand was dry and
easily worked, and in comparatively
short time they succeeded in effecting
an excavation which measured six feet
and half in length by five feet In
width. On Thursday night last they
had fire in it, and on Friday morning
also. They were repeatedly driven
away from the cave they had made by
the workmen employed about the
place, as it was absolutely dangerous,
as the result proved but without avail,
and, on last Friday noon, three little
fellows, who regardless Of the repeated
warnings, entered the cave, and recon
menceG their labors, fifteen inches of
the sand which formed the root OF the
cave fell in upon them. The names OF
the boys were Berthe Edwards, son Of
Captain ]. L. Edwards, Henry Edwards
his brother, and Laubus Torrissn. The
latter, being nearest the entrance, sue
ceeded in freeing himself OF accumulat-
I'd sand, and assisted in releasing Hen
ry Edwards, who required some little
time to recover from his partial strang'
ulation. BERTHE Edwards, who was
farthest from the entrance, was con-
pletely covered, and an alarm being
given, Mr.. w. A. Place and Others
used every means in their power to dig
out the little fellow, and after short
time, succeeded; but life was extinct.
A physician was, however, immediate
ly summoned, and all that science
could do to restore the little fellow to
life was without avail. Death had
claimed its victim. We do not know
whether any one is TO blame in the
matter, but must look upon it as one OF
the inscrutable DEGREES OF Providence.

Women at War!

We do not mean the Amazons, the
dynamiters, nor the militants.
But those good women so dear to
our hearts who make our homes for
us.
These wholesome folks have treaty
with cleanliness that keeps them ever
at war against dirt and uncleanliness
in all its forms.
Soap, If you work hard enough with
IT, will make things clean, but it won't
kill germs!
Borax mixed in proportion with
soap will make the soap work better
and your work easier. Also borax kills
germs.
So that by using boraX soap chips
you get things clean with less work
than by the old methods and you also
get them antiseptic.
Csc worth of "20 Mule Team Borax
Soap Chips" will give you more clean
illness with less work than soc worth
Of bar soap or washing powders.

on April the B. f. Goodrich Com
pany, the big Akron, Ohio, rubber
manufacturers, opened a full-fledged
tire service station at 1912 North Third
street, this city. Announcement of the
opening of this tire depot was made in
our columns under date of April 4.
In opening the Harrisburg depot
the Goodrich company adds one more
link to their almost endless chain of
service stations. This is along the
lines of their we'll laid policy estab-
lished in 1910, which makes it possible
for the automobile dealers, garages
and accessory houses to extend tho
maximum service to their customers.
Hereafter automobile owners can Sc
cure Goodrich tires from their dealers
with the least possible delay.
This depot. or substation, will carry
a big stock of Goodrich tires and ac-
cessories at all times. 1t is well
equipped in every way to meet the de-
mands of the dealers, not only in Har-
risburg, but also in the surrounding
territory.

trolley wire at Third and Chestnut
streets snapped. Hundreds of men on
their way to work in plants in various
parts of the city were late because of
the delay and many OF them walked
through the binding snow. Schedules
were resumed with cars running late
on some of the suburban routes. The
railroads had little trouble with trains
running east and west in this State,
but in other sections traffic was de-
layed because of the heavy snow. Ac-
cording to te forecast by e. r. De-
main. in the local Office of the United
States Weather Bureau, the snow will
continue until this evening and will
then probably turn to rain. with cloudy
weather tomorrow. Little change is
expected in temperature, unless the
storm. now centering in the South
Atlantic States, moves northward,
which will cause a rise in temperature.
At s o'clock this morning six inches
of snow had fallen, the storm con-
tinuing during the day. The heaviest
snowfall recorded for April was in
1894. when eighteen inches fell on
April 10 and IL.
The snow to-day was the heaviest
in recent years and was general over
this section of the country. West of
the MISSISSIPPI DIE drops IN Jempefa-
ture are recorded, but the mercury is
expected to hover near freezing here.
j. L. Leonard, aged 72 years, of 400
Boas street, a machinist at the Elliott
Fisher Company plant, fell on the
pavement in Market street this morn
ing while on his way to work and
fractured his right arm above the
elbow. No other accidents were re-
ported.
The river will fall SLOWLY and a stage
of So feet is expected tomorrow
morning.
The anachronistic appearance of the
snowman last night and this morning
brought sadness and gloom upon

completely nonplussed; certainly they
had not bargained on being thus re-
ceived, and il will be only through
the kindness of their big friends that
they will survive the temporary return

Paige Breaks March
Production Record

The month of March showed the best
record for manufacture and shipment
of cars in the history of the Paige-De-
troit Motor Car Company. The fact
that during this month more Paige
cars were produced than at any other
time is significant in view of the rapid
development and growth of this com
pany and the fact that in total volume
of business it has made some phenome-
nal strides toward the top
The Paige is about six years old and
its entire production for its first year
would now be considered a fair pro-
duction for one month. Popular de-
mand and production facilities increas-
cd to 175 cars a day are the explana-
tion.

Simplicity in Motor Car
Is Required For Success

"rhe simple life is not so much in
demand to-day as is the simple auto
mobile" said G.. w. Smith, chief en-
gineer of the Thomas b. Jeffery Com
pany in an interview yesterday "The
experienced buyer wants simplicity in
his automobile because he knows that
it means 'stand-up' quality, freedom
from trouble, and low maintenance
cost"
The simplicity of chassis design
which reaches its height in the new
Jeffery Six, is alone sufficient to ac-
count for the instantaneous success of
this car. 1t literally sold itself in
many cases on the strength of its
chassis alone, according to Mr.. Smith.
Even its spectacular performance, due
to the Jeffery principle of providing
great power at the speeds used most
had very little to do with sales in a
good many cases.
"OVer a dozen improvements have
so simplified the Jeffery chassis that
the most skillful engineers" said Mr..
Smith, admit that the car is the
simplest on the market This years
improvements are not alone respon-
sible for the attainment of the SIM
plicity ideal. We have worked at the
design of this chassis for three years,
and each year we made number
of improvements inspired and ratified
by our experience with carefully test
ed models"
Putting the emergency brake on
the rear of the transmission is one of
our typical Improvements. 1t does
away with a set of levers and connect
ing rods without in any way affecting
the power of the motor. By using a
peculiarly efficient drive we have in
creased the strength and durability of
the chassis at the same time that we
made it simpler and free from trouble.
ITO the layman changes of this sort
often do not mean much," continued
Mr.. Smith," but to the experienced
driver they mean an enormous saving
in time and money. They save him
from having to tighten up his car
constantly, they guard against trouble
and the necessity for frequent repairs
and they are the best possible insur-
ance against the too frequently heavy
cost of owning a car
Simplicity is the only way of Civ
ing maximum usable value per dol
lar of price.

Senate Adopts Scheme
to Educate Soldiers

Washington, D. c., April S,-Ad-
ministration leaders in Congress are
hopeful that the army increase bill,
first of the three great national de-
fense measures, will enter its final
stage next week before the joint con-
ference committee. Indications last
night were that the only remaining
sections likely to cause prolonged de-
bate in the Senate was the one fixing
the peace strength of the regular
army.
The Senate voted on only one
amendment to the bill, adopting with
out rollcall the proposal of Senator
Smith, of Georgia, that enlisted men
in the regular army hereafter be given
opportunity for 75 hours of vocational
education a month during ther active
service in peace times. Civilian in
structors will aid the army officers in
this work.

There is no getting around the fact
that the automobile has made pret-

she is beating chauffeurs at their own

Just now few women venture TAX
