OWNER 5 NAME IN WINDSHIELD

According to Secretary C. c. Kil- bury of the Toledo Automobile club. all Of the makers, sellers. and buyers of motor cars, together with the coun- trys chemists and sellers of windshield glass must combine against the auto thief if motor ear thievery is to be abolished.
 At the 4. A. A. annual meeting Mir. Kilbury addressed the assemblage on the ever-live and hard to be met problem of stamping out car thievry and presented a suggestion that calls for nationwide cooperation on the part of every person interested in eliminating the car thief
 Mir. Kilbury's idea is to place by chemical process, the serial number of the car and the name of the owners home town upon the windshield glass, and that each owner should carry a card bearing his name, address and the serial number of his car.
 Identification marks upon the metal or wooden parts of the car may be re- removed or altered, but not so with those upon glass; which must be broken or removed. Hence car with a plain or broken glass would excite suspicion. The glass seller plays his part when he is asked to sell wind shield glass to a man who cannot prove

An order for 800 chainless Packard trucks representing a money value of $5046S $50 was received yesterday by the Packard Motor Car company from the war department of the United States. The order specifics the stand ard three-ton unit which is being wide ly used for commercial purposes De- liVeries start in two weeks and are to oe spread over a period of several months.
 The Packard Company and every man in the organization justiy feeas proud that our product is among the very first to be selected by the war de- pertinent in it's task of equipping huge army for service abroad, said Alyan Macauley, president and gener- al manager. The commercial aspect of the matter is overshadowed by the splendid opportunity to perform real service by supplying to the ogvern- ment, the kind of equipment which may be regarded as essential to the successful prosecution of the war. l We feel sure that every one of ] these 1 800 Packards. will do it's indi- vidnal bit in army service. and do it | iuSt as efficiently as the hundreds of i I7ackards that went down to Mexico or those now being operated by the Allies i from Calais to Salonika and along the : Russian lines. The trucks used along the Mexican border were subjected to the most violent abuse, due to terrible i conditions of the roads. Some of those used abroad have been burdened with anti-aircraft guns and others with tre- mendously heavy trench digging ma- chinery"
 President Macauleys first inkling of the governments order came in a tel , egram from C. F.

TRAILERS UT
 COST 1T TRUCK

Here is an interesting quotation from a personal letter written to Bab- bitt Poison company, local distributors of Troy TraileTs by the sales manager of one of the foremost motor truck factories in the country:
 Frequently a truck owner in Chi cago will figure that if q E ton truck of a certain make will haul 31s tons in Pittsburg, it will haul ! tons on the flat streets of Chicago. Three and one half tons weigh just as much in Chi cago as in Pittsburg when it comes to being supported by the springs of the truck. The excess of ability re- leased between the two towns is power and the factor of safety of the power transmission line.
 Therefore, put on the trailer
 In other words you cannot ask 9 F ton truck to carry more than 31A tons economically because the springs, etc, have a limit of 31a tons and when they are overloaded, depreciation increases fast
 But the power plant of a BE ton truck is not limited to a 31A ton load except where grades. etc, are extreme Under average conditions the only possible way to work the power plant to it's fullest efficiency is by adding a trailer

 REPRODUCTION

In the last year the Maxwell com paLy business has had a wonderful eX- Ians.0n. The company has leaped into third place in point of production and has taken just fcJM years to attain ll5, said Walter E. Flanders, presl q mt and general manager of the Max well Motor company, Inc
 "The problem of the Maxwell com pary is not to find buyers for motor ears. Dut to get material enough to make cars to supply the demand and gat railroad cars enough to ship out the products of the Maxwell factories. After finding the raw material it is a Gruulem tO get the railroads to haul the material to the factories.
 We find the automobile market rteadly widening. The people are mak- ine money and the Maxwell company is finding it difficult to produce cars fast enough to meet the demand
 Reports show Maxwell dealers in all palts of the country are prosperous Dealers are sending in larger orders for ears than ever before.
 More money win be in circulation ir tho next few years than ever before ir tfc history of the country and TO vii the war we must keep our production If top speed and to keep our produc- fion at top speed we mast have busi- ness as usual. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to live and spend a. he would in normal times. l believe that the American people are going tt d. this
 We must supply the word witt nearly everything men need and, to d. this our factories and farms will b' rushed to capacity This can mean bu cro thing great prosperity for manu facturcii merchant, farmer banker ant wage eqrner.'
 Teh Maxwell company's April sale: exceeded by many hundred cars th6s' of any month in tha. history of th' crulrany
 The May sales, ip turn. greatly ex ceeded those of April and shipment 1n the last day of May-6$5 cars-wer' the biggest ever made by the Max well company in a single day
 Maxwell officials comment on th fact that never before, since the in vention of the automobile, have an. but two companies equalled or beat tn Maxwell shipping record of May 91.
 And this achievement-tog witl the two record breaking months-wa made after the United States had gon into the war.
 This officials of that company as sert is substantial evidence that thi oreat increase in business. instead O being . spurt, is a definite movement reflecting conditions generally in al lines and daily gathering momentum.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

net). The boys in camp are going
to find this little book just the thing
to send home to their people, to give
a vivid realization of what they are
doing from day to day. And the peo-
pie at home are going to want the
book, in order to understand that
new world into which they have sent
their sons, brothers, fathers and
sweethearts.
Written by a noted Army officer,
who knows his subject from A to u,
it is surprising to the inexperienced
or the outsider to find how much of
this information is practically new,
in that few of us have had any op-
portunity to get a complete detailed
survey of the soldiers life and duty.
The new soldier is so busy earn
ing new things that he has little time
to hang heavy over his head. In
fact, he is, our author assures us,
ready for the most popular amuse-
ment in camp, hitting the hay, when
taps sound across the night air. And
insomnia is practically a lost art
among the soldiers of the Army at
home or abroad.

People everywhere are learning
some things from war which makes
them critical. The experts we're
wrong. They said Germany and
England could not raise hve or SIX
billion dollars a year each Tor three
years running. Germany ana ENG
land have done it: The authority Oh
expert judgment is weakened:
The established scheme, taking 1t
by and large, got the world into
frightful calamity. There is less re-
spect for the established scheme.
With half of her best male labor
cut of the country, and merely con-
suming, England is producing prac-
tically as much food, clothing, fuel,
iron, steel, and such basic neces-
saries, as ever; and in addition Is
producing mountains OF guns, Shells,
and powder, which are Immediately
destroyed. -
OF course people are saying: What
II we produced at this rate with all
the soldiers working, too. ana an
turning out useful goods? would
there be any excuse for any lack OF
useful goods anywhere in the couh-
try?
duction was brought about py a
searching reorganization, Whlcn
largely cast aside the old scheme OF
competitive individualism, co-ordln-
ating industry to broad common
ends, OF course they are askinE:
How much of this reorganization
shall we retain in peace? How snalA
it be directed and applied?
And all the while one hears the
slightly muffled voices of the old or
der. Labor is much dissatisfed-
apparently, on the whole, liking the
new organization less than the old.
Shipowners are grumbling at the
way the Government manages the
merchant fleet. The food trades
protest against this or that regula-
tion. Everywhere you see SUD
dued but restive straining at the
leash. Evidently only the tremen-
dous emotional appeal of war IN
duces acquiescence in the new ar
IT would be astonishing, and very
discouraging, If all that the war has
taught as to the value of broader
economic organization and better ar
ticulation of industry should be
abandoned. We have no idea that
II will be. Neither have we any idea
that the old economic and political
| organization is to be thrown into
the melting post and recast. Big and
permanent social changes DO not
come about In that way.-Saturday

War Expenditures and
Their After Effects

T T is a pretty common thing, now
a-days, to hear of expenditures
that run into the billions so
common that most of us pay little at
tention to 1t any more.
But how much is a billion dol
lars? To get an idea of just how
enormous q sum it is, stop to think
that since the birth of Christ, or in
other words, since the year one, only
a little over one billion seven million
minutes have elapsed.
And then to think that the crops
of 1917 put approximately ten bill
lion dollars of new wealth into the
country and that the United States
and her allies will spend between fif-
teen billion more for war supplies.
That's a total of at least twenty
two billion dollars that will be
thrown into circulation in this coun-
try-as many dollars as there are
minutes in 41,856 years-think of it.
The tremendous sums that have
been expended in this country since
the beginning of the war are all that
have caused the present prosperity
and high prices. Nothing else has
put the price of farm products where
it is, nothing else has put the price
of labor where it is-nothing else has
put the price of lumber where 1t is.
We have the money-naturally we
invest it to make more-that makes

She stands alone beside the gate,
Where oft with him she stood
before,
And seems to hear his voice relate
Life's sweetest story DER and Ger;
A hand she feels upon her own,
Unconsciously tender glance
She gives, then starts and stands
alone,
The lover sleeps-somewhere in
France.
She could have kept him IL she
would
His heart and soul were all her
own,
But true love knew and understood
That Honor is it's own true throne,
She heard the bugles' blaring sound
And whispered,-"Go and take
your chance"
There mid the scenes of war he
found
Eternal peace-Somewhere in
France.
She knows not where that spot may
On barren plain, in hidden dell,
On wooded hill, beside the sea
The lips that would will never tell;

And vet, she feels they were of her,

LETTERS TO. THE EDITOR
A PREACHERS MAIL
tho Ediior of the Telegraph:


Do you care to have q glimpse Mt
n preachers mail? Here is an in
teresting, and suggestive letter which
l take pleasure in handing to you.
1t may serve to help you see how
much some people think of us; and
some other things.
LAS there are at least $500 fami-
lies in Harrisburg without fuel, coal
in small quantities selling at S21.00
ton, a tremendous number OF pee
pie are starving, while the loafer
priests and preachers are drawing
big salaries and rendering no re-
turn. Following precedents, would
il not be in order for your next SER
mon to be on the text, The Lord
Tempers the Wind to the Shorn
Lamb?'
What idiocy and folly it all is.
Now be honest. You need not speak
it from the pulpit, because you would
lose your job. Don't you really
know that this church business, and
preaching is the greatest farce on
earth?"
1t isn't worth while to say that the
writer of this letter offers a text
from Sterne's Sentimental Jour.
ney." rather than from the Word of
God. / am sure that my brethren
among the priests and the preachers
wish that we could relieve the coal
situation, and some other situations
which are more threatening.
Sincerely,
G. e. HAYES,
| Market Square Church.

the demand and the demand forces
prices upward.
But the twenty-five billion dollars
to be expended now is far in excess
of the expenditures made up to this
time and it, therefore, naturally fol-
lows that great prosperity, higher
prices for labor and materials will
prevail, at least until after the war.
And then, you ask, what about
after the war? In the case of lum-
Der, prices are certain to jump still
higher. In the first place, since the
war began, our exports of building
material have fallen off $3S, 900,
almost half. If our exports only re-
turned to their normal level, there
fore, there would be greatly In
creased demand for building mater
ial in this country and you know the
demand regulates the price at every
turn of the road. But there is the
reconstruction of the vast areas that
have been devastated by the war,
that must be considered-the re-
building of the hundreds of towns
and cities that have been laid fiat.
That means an unusual European
demand-it means an increase in our
exports that will far surpass the nor
NAL level-it means drain on Amer
ican building materials that is GER
tain to cause prices to soar for years
to come.-By II. V. Scott, Daven-
port, Iowa.
