MEMORIAL DAY
IS PROCLAIMED

People of Pennsylvania are urged
by Governor Brumbaugh to give spe-
cial attention to the observance of
Memorial Day this year in a procla-
nation issued from The Capitol to-
day. The Governor asks that the
bells be tolled for five minutes, COM
mencing at noon, and that flags be
half-masted and that people stand
with uncovered heads and in silence
for that period.
The proclamation is as follows:
THE greatness of a nation lies in
it's reverence and in it's gratitude.
For those who in the days that tried
mems souls marched to the defense
of our country we must cherish abid-
ing respect and regard. They now
sleep in the scored soil of our state.
Their lives were not lived in vain.
They gave their highest gift to the
nation. They deserve honor and
sacred memory. No encomium, no
patriotic utterance that we may pro-
nounce over their unforgotten graves
can add to the nobility of their serv-
ice. But wecan, in doing reVerent
honor to them in our own hearts an
increasing love for our country and
instil in our children a loftier and
holier devotion to our country. The
example of great and good men is a
come after them.
''In this year, when by the acts of
others and not by the acts of our
own people, we find ourselves in a
great war, it is peculiarly fitting that
we should rekindle our campfires,
rededicate our lives, and reconse-
crate our all to the nation for which
these honored dead gave such boun-
tiful loyalty. We should on Memoir
ial Day devote our thought and our
energies to a fitting observance of
the purposes of the day, take count
of the sacrifice these made, renew
our concern for their loved ones now
the wards of our love and loyalty
and resolve to preserve this nation
under God for ourselves and for our
posterity forever.
Let the day yield itself wholly
to strengthening our national unity
and to devote supplication to AL
mighty God to grant us early and
ensuring peace. With no hatred, but
with unmeasurable sorrow, with no
rancor, but with forgiving love, with
no boasting but with solemn resoIu-
ton let us on this day renew our
love to the soldier dead and our loy-
atty to the nation triumphant. Let
the loftiest sentiments of national
fealty be uttered in our schools, in
our churches, in our homes and at
the graves of the nations glory-en-
shrined heroes.
That these things may be done
and done most fittingly /, Martin
Grove Brumbaugh, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do
hereby issue this my proclamation
and earnestly request all our people
to observe May 80, 1917, as Memoir
ial Day.
LAS a part of the observance
thereof request and urge that all
bells be tolled from ~ noon until
1906, that flags be placed at half
staff and that all our people stand
with heads barred and in solemn si-
lence during this period"

Scarcity of Automobiles
Through Lack of Materials

With the purchase of vast quanti-
ties of sheet steel, hickory. cotton
duck, leather, and in fact all basic
materials for war purposes, manufac-
turers of automobiles anticipate n
grievous shortage of cars within sixty
to ninety days. Even now several
factories have been compelled to cut
down production materially, owing to
lack of sufficient material. yet in real
ity purchases for war purposes have
hardly begun.
insufficient shipping facilities and
shortage of labor have confronted
auto manufacturers for some time
these factors will become worse be-
fore they become better. So. taking
all in all, the buyer who would be
sure of his care for summer use
should act promptly.

at seven miles an hour up consider
able grades.
Gasoline was taken from a regular
Standard Oil service station and it
was the ordinary low test. The car
was driven in and out of the city
during the test and the driver kept
it as nearly % miles an hour as
possible. An affidavit of the per-
formance was sworn to by the pass
engers.
When it is considered that the big
Paige weighs about 3,40O pounds,
carried four hefty men and that the
motor is three and one-half inches
bore by five and one-quarter inches
stroke the seventeen mile record is
deserving of special consideration.

per schedule and at present prices up

terial on hand. after which orders our
deliveries would be dependent entirely
upon the condition of the material
market at the time.
The Velie Six is enjoying an unpre-

to accumulate any reserve stock of
moment, but immediate Velie buyers
are assured of present prices as long
as material on hand holds out.
