AUTO SHOW SPACE
ALMOST DOUBLED
First and Second Floors of
Observation-Disclosures
Building Secured

The committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the automobile show
to be held in Harrisburg February
10th to 18th, have succeeded in Sc
curing seven thousand feet of addi-
tional floor space this year in the
Emerson- -Brantingham building at
Tenth and Market streets. This makes
seventeen thousand feet of floor space
available for show purposes this year,
and includes the greater part of the
first floor. The show this year will be
a Harrisburg show in every sense of
the word, as practically all of the cars
represented through Harrisburg deal
ers will be shown, with ample room
to display the various models.
p. Driscoll, X. G. Barrett and
George G. Mcfarland, the committee
in charge of arrangements, will en-
deaVor to make this exhibition of eX-
ceptional interest to the people OF
Central Pennsylvania. Various fea-
lures that will enhance the beauty OF
the show rooms and provide enter
tainment, will be announced from
time to time as the plans are approved
at the meetings of the Capital City
Motor Dealers Association.

Speakership Fight of
Importance Says Governor

Governor Brumbaugh late this aft
ernoon made the following statement:
The Speakership contest is of more
significance than the selection of a
presiding officer for the House. In it's
inception and in it's development any
thoughtful, unbiased citizen can dis
cern back of Mr.. Baldwin the same
reactionary influence that made Penn
sylvania politically a reproach. and
that led directly to two successive de-
feats to the national Republican
party
Social justice and humane gov
ernment are arrayed against special
privilege and secret intrigue. Had this
State been wisely treated in the re-
cent election there would be no dis
cussion of the party majority in the
national House of representatives
The House would be Republican.
Pennsylvania Republicans-so called
wrecked our party's opportunity.
The same forces are menacing it to-
day. They are not for the people and
no party can survive that is not OPEN
ly honestly and heartily devoted to
serving the whole people. We shall
here steadily continue to promote un-
selfish and free government. We shall
resist all who oppose such govern
ment."

Peerless Increase to Be
Effective March First

Because Peerless dealers have ac-
cepted many orders for the Peerless
model 56 eight-cylinder car for de-
livery during January and February.
1917, the management of the Peerless
company, at Cleveland, has decided to
postpone its increase in prices until
midnight, February 2S. 1917. This ac-
tion is taken so that the dealers may
fill their orders without any embar-
rassment due to the selling price
having been raised after tie orders
had been placed.
In its announcement of the new
prices the company stated explicitly
that the increase decided upon is
barely sufficient to take care of the
advance in the cost of labor and ma
terials and that further increase
may be looked for in the near future
unless there is a rapid adjustment of
the uncertain conditions in the labor
and material market.

after midnight, February %, 1917.

had gone from them now. They were
clear, and dark gray, and there was
a dignity in them which had grown
as his sadness had grown.
Billy, bounding in from his work.
at dinner-time, found Doe at the
drawing-board engaged in contem-
plative study.
Well Well" exclaimed the young
man in delight. Burke told me you'd
be up to-day but 1 didn't expect to
find you working"
Il don't believe l can stav awav
from it for long" returned Doe with
smile. His lips had begun to have
form. How are you coming on
with the Pannard foundation?" This
had been his first question every night
during his convalescence.
"Great!" Billy picked up a de-
canter from the library table and
poured himself a drink I'VE are

was correct to the most minute de-

Billy, don't care much for the

purpose" stated Billy, edging up to
the board and studying the draw
ing critically. "As you see. I have
not much height to spare, and there
Is no construction for spanning a
wide space so good as the Stuart
truss"
John Doe stopped for only a sec
ond in the twirling of his pencil, and
in that second his lips compressed:
then he went on sliding his fingers
down over the pencil and turning it;

The Stuart truss he repeated,
and then he was quiet for a moment
longer. He reused himself with u
slight jerk of his head and shoulders.
That truss was designed for a specific
purpose, but it was not intended to
cover cases where the support for
the truss required such heavy con-
struction. Look here" He drew a
sketch-pad toward him, and made II
few swift strokes with his pencil.
Don't you think that this principle.
with some modification perhaps, will
suit your needs better?"
Billy took the sketch. and, as he
studied it, his eyes sparkled, and then
narrowed. He laid down the paper
without comment, and went to the
window, looking out at the sky above
the adjoining buildings. Suddenly he
wheeled. Mr.. Doe, what are your
future plans?"
Doe smiled.
II have none. How could I have?
Remember, 1 am just BORN

Billy How would you like to come

The tears sprang into the older

STATE TRAVELLING
EXPENSES ORDER
Attorney General Makes Pub
lie Decisions Reached After
Long Discussion

As the result OF inquiry of the head
of every department and commission
of the State government Attorney
General Brown has issued an opinion
regarding travelling expenses of Off
cials and attaches of the Common
wealth which is in general in har-
mony with the rulings and decisions
of the Auditor General.
In the course of his opinion, the
most exhaustive ever issued on the
subject, the Attorney General says:
AS general proposition State Off
cials should in travelling upon the
business of the Commonwealth eXer-
else the same prudence tLat a sensible
man exercises in travelling on his own
private business. Wherever practi-
cable the departments should provide
mileage books for the use of it's heads
or subordinates when engaged in
travelling for the State. In respect to
the foregoing it may be noted that
where the shortest route between
Harrisburg and the point of duty
would require materially longer
time to travel than some longer route
between these points, it would be
proper in such instance for an off,
cial to go by the longer route in dis
tance and tie shorter in time
The officials and employees of
Pennsylvania when going about the
State on its business, are entitled to
travel i'll "A manner consistent with
their reasonable comfort and in due
dignity and so as to best advance and
expedite the Commonwealth work.

should be fully itemized and accom-
panied by proper receipts and vouch-
ers. Everything should be explicitly
set forth and nothing left to inter-
ference

"No you don't" laughed Tommy
and intercepted her. You don't
know what dickens of a time I've
had to break in here. | had to stand
over the engraVer to get just that
single card; and 1 tore up a dozen
letters before l could write one which
looked enough like sister Nellie's.
Say, what do you thing of the mus
tache? Look" and he put it on up
side down. Doesn't make much
difference how you wear it. you know.
It's almost the same either way
and he changed it, to show her.
OF course she laughed; but that
did not mean that she had lessened
her anger. 1t only made the earnest
ness of her determination more diff
cult to display. She started to sweep
past him; but shucks he went with
her; even took her arm, in fact.
Il don't blame you for never
speaking to Billy again." he cheerfully
informed her; but you can't hold
anything against me, because
apologize"
It's just like one of your ghastly
practical jokes to have sent Billy back
here that night" she hotly charged
him, and she did not see the little
twitch in Tommy's humorous coun-
tenance. Ut was all your fault.
Billy is always with you when things
happen! You have bad influence
on him."
Then why do you blame Billy?"
triumphantly argued Tommy. and he
grinned. Poor Billy's all broke up
about it, Geraldine"
1T serves him right" he retorted.
He should be!"
We'll. it wasn't really his fault"
Tommy told her. and led her towards
the library. II thought it would be
great joke, but nobody else seemed
to have any sense of humor"
It's no credit to Billy that he's
weak enough to let you lead him into
mischief"
Il give up" announced Tommy
despondently. II came to do my best
for Billy, but | see it's no use! I'll
tell him we're not to be forgiven, and
we are not to bother you again."
He was very sorrowful as they turned
in at the library door. ~ will not
even bother you again with Billy's
apologiesi" They rounded the corner
of the palm screen. "Why, hello,
Billy! What are you doing here?
There he stood, right in front of
her, tall and straight and handsome,
but red with shame. He tried to say
something, but humiliation tied his
tongue, and Geraldine, without know
ing just why, held out her hands to
him. He took them both, and down
into her brown eyes gazed all his con-
trite apologies.
Good old Tommy Tinkle!

MAGEE CALLS FOR
PROOF ON CHARGES
Commissioner Makes an Ans
wcr to Senator PenroSe'S
Recent Statement

In a statement issued last night at
Pittsburgh Public Service Commits
sioner Magee called upon Senator
Penrose TO prove charges against the
commission. Mr.. Magee said that
only in one case coming before the
commission did an associate of At
torney General Francis Skunk Brown
appear as counsel, and in that case
the commission decided against Mr.
Browns partner.
Commissioner Magee dictated the
following:
The Public Service Commission is
one of the hardest working bodies of
officials in this or any other State. The
statements made about the commits
sion are absolutely groundless and
perfectly ridiculous. Senator Penrose
has gone further in reckless state
ments than he ever did in his life be-
fore when lie says that applications
have been held up as n means of poll
teal intimidation and coercion He
says he knows this of his own llnowl-
edge. Now, as member of that body,
1 challenge him to state what his
knowledge is.
Again with an equal lack of verac-
ity, he says that more than 80 per
cent. of the cases have been represent
ed by one or two attorneys This is
Il SAOSS II WOulu
be a physical impossibility. There
have been several thousand proceed
ings before the commission. Hundreds
of attorneys are necessary to repre-
sent that quantity of litigation.
II know of no attorney who appears
to represent any considerable number
of cases.
Another wild statement has refer
ence to the Attorney Generals legal
associates. There has been but one
case in which any one associated with
Mr.. Brown has appeared before our
commission. 1t might not be NAL apro-
pos to mention the fact that the COM
mission decided that case contrary to
the contention of Mr.. Browns part
ner."
