Jefery Predicts Prices
VIII Not Be Slashed

In an interview to-day on the flu
ture of the automobile business.
Charles T. Jeffery, president of the
Thomas T. Jeffery. Company of Ken
osha, Wis, stated his belief that the
era of price slashing through which
the industry has been passing is at an
end.
we have always believed" said
Mr.. Jeffery, that the demand of the
the American public was for a high
grade quality automobile at a moder-
ate price. The American man wants
an automobile that will run, day in
and day out for a long time, practi-
cally without attention. He wants a
car which will be economical in it's
consumption of gasoline and oil and
easy on tires. At the same time he
does not want to be skimped on size;
he wants a roomy car in which his
whole family can ride comfortably.
Sales arguments as to the number
of cylinders in the motor, or the
particular kind of rear axle or fender
which a car should have, do not ap-
peal to him nearly so much as the
assurance of dependable service.
This means quality. and we be-
lieve that the manufacturer. who
skimps quality in ord@r TO offer the
public a sensational price is making a
serious mistake. The trend of the
motor car business to-day in Am
erica, is against low prices without
quality.
Competition is compelling every
manufacturer to produce the most car
possible for the least money. The
public will not pay an excessive price
but the public does demand quality.
and the fact that an increasing num-
Der of motor car manufacturers are
talking quality is evidence of the
very healthy condition of the in
dustry."

MILITARISM in
SCHOOLS OPPOSED
Educators Object to Army
Training Being Required,
but Leave Loopholc
Special to the Telegraph

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 26.-The Depart
ment of Superintendence of the Ma
tional Education Association, at it's
closing session here yesterday, went
on record as opposed to compulsory
military training in the public schools
The educators. however. favored a plan
whereby the american youth" who
wishes to receive military instruction
can find special teachers.
The action of the department was
generally regarded as a compromise. II
was said that although there were many
advocates of a strong national system
ponents of such an organization, the
most generally accepted view was tc
keep militarism out of the grade an6
high schools. Most of the dele
gates, it was said. favored the specia.
military school plan.
Opposes Military Training
y resolution opposing scholastic mill
tary training which was adopted carried
a clause which recommended that the
president of the department of superin-
tendence-John ID. Shoop, of Chicago
appoint committee of nine ito study
and report on the proper place for ac-
american youth" The department
agreed to finance "the necessary ex-
penses of the committee"
Other resolutions which were adopted
favored boards of education of fewer
numbers; child labor laws: increased
appropriations for the United States
Bureau of Education and appointment
of education attaches OF ali American
Embassies and Legations.

LIVELY BOXING
AT FIRST SHOW
"Jackie" Clarke Wins HonorS
in Bout With Quaker Boy;
Fast PrelininarieS

Harrisburgs first boxing show in a
long time, held last night at the
Orpheum Theater proved an inter-
esting exhibition. There were a
number of lively miXups but no
knockouts or falls a large crowd at
tended and expressed approval of
each bout with prolonged applause.
The order was good, and the score of
reserve patrolmen had nothing to do
outside of watching the performance.
The windup contest between Jack
Reck of Philadelphia and Jackie
Clarke of Fall River, Mass. was the
best match of the evening. Both men
showed science and had weight in
their blows. Clarke was master
throughout the six rounds.
The match in the semi-tinal windup
was a poor one, as the fighters were
not fast, and clinching marred the eX-
hlbition. The preliminaries showed
a number of younsters well Versed in
the fighting game. Kid Texas of New
Orleans and Jimmie McCabe of Phila-
delphia fought to a draw. Willie
Franklin of Lancaster and Willie
Rankert of Philadelphia went six
lively rounds with no decision. The
work of Lou Crimson, referee, was
highly satisfactory.

Studebaker Company to
Built 10000 Motor Trucks

Announcement made of the new
one-ton and half-ton Studebaker COM
mercial cars is accompanied by the
information that the Studebaker Cor
poration will produce 10000 of these
vehicles during 1916, thus taking a
place among the largest builders in
the industry of trucks of like capa-
cities.
Three models of the half-ton car
rying capacity are announced, and
the same number of the one-ton
capacity. The half-ton models in
clude the panel delivery car, SS75;
open express car, $3.50; station and
baggage wagon, $S75. One-ton trucks
include the open express type, $1,000;
stake body type, $3.50; 16-passenger
bus type, $1400.
Quantity production is the rule at
the factory because of the big de-
mand for the new trucks that is re-
ported by dealers everywhere.
The new Studebaker models are
featured by the fact that they are de-
signed and built primarily for COM
mercial work. They are not adapta-
tions of pleasure car features but are
the result of long tests in actual COM
mercial service preparatory to being
placed on the market.
Although the Studebaker Corpora
! ton has been building commercial
cars of half-ton capacity for several
years, il has never attempted produc-
ton on as large scale as is planned
for 1916.
one of the features OF the new
models is that they are equipped with
electric starter, electric lights, speed
ometer and other high-class features
In addition to their power, these cars
are notable also for their attractive
lines and high quality body finish.
Considerable attention has been
paid to the comfort and convenience
of drivers. Everything necessary for
the operation of the trucks is within
easy reach of the operator and ar
ranged in simple fashion.
