Cadillac Figures Show
Enclosed Car Increase

The fact that enclosed motorcars
are coming more and more into favor
for ycar-round use has been making
itself felt for some time. But it has
never, perhaps, been illustrated with
greater emphasis than by data recent
ly gathered by the Cadillac Motor Car
Company.
For its own information, the Cadil-
lac Company asked a number of its
leading distributors to set down the
proportion of their buyers who pre-
fcrred enclosed cars to the open road
ster and touring types.
The statistics so far at hand show
that out of a representative list of
new Cadillac owners who have also
owned previous Cadillac eight-cylin-
der models, 81 per cent. came this sea-
son from open to enclosed cars. This.
of course, does not take into account
the normal increase in both the open
and the enclosed car lines. 1t does not
reflect the undoubted trend toward the
latter. however.
1t appears. also, that the large ma
iority of the enclosed cars have gone
10 owners who maintain but one car;
showing that the enclosed vehicle is
intended for use in, summer as we'll as
in winter.
Another indication of this tendency
is the fact that 40 per cent. of the
total Cadillac production of the pres
ent model has been enclosed cars; and
that the number of these which have
been shipped is greater now than at
the corresponding time last year.

to Sell Liquors

In ustaining the Chester County
Court in refusing q, retail LIQUOR
hotel in the outlying section of
Coatesville. the Supreme Court. in an
opinion by Judge TreXler, uphold the
power of the lower court to consider
the question of the location of a pro-
posed license. In refusing the license
the Chester county Judge said it had
been a long established policy of the
court "to confine liquor licenses in
Coatesville TO the more centrally To-
Gated houses. which are constantly
under the observation of many citi-
Zens and of the authorities, and at
the same time are sufficiently con-
venient to all patrons living and Wis
iting in and about Coatesville."
In commenting on tn case. Judge
TreXler said: mo person has a right
TO deman a license to sell liquors
The privilege is to be granted only
when the proper person applies, and
when the license is necessary. The
discretion of the court is large and
is to be exercised primarily for the
public good. and secondarily for the
priVate interest"

COUNCIL TO TALK
OVER COLLECTION
PROBLEMS AGAIN
Commissioners to Hold An
other Conference For
General Discussion

Another conference on the ash
and garbage collection problem is
talked of in city councilmanic circles
and will probably be held on Mon
day. According to one of the COM
missioners it will be for the pur-
pose of deciding just what action
will be taken on Tuesday.
Residents of the city who have
endured for years the annual repe-
tition of no regular collections, yards
piled high with receptacles filed
with ashes and refuse and similar
nuisances are wondering how many
more conferences and how much
more delay there will be before def
mite plans are made for this import
ant work which heretofore never
has been done under municipal su-
pervision.
1t is understood at the council
session on Tuesday the contract for
garbage collection and disposal will
probably be awarded and an esti-
mate submitted for municipal ash
collections and the cost of equip
ment. The whole collection cost
will probably be about 100000 for
next year, but so far the commits
sioners have shown no active inter
est in going ahead with necessary
arrangements for organization of the
ash and garbage bureau or in get
ting anything definite in shape tor
action. Repeated promises, confer.
ences. even a survey and report on
what should be done which was in
the hands of council months ago
failed to bring any action and now
with the present contract ending in
about six weeks all this work must
be done.
More complaints are being made
about tipping" the ash collectors.
Yesterday it was said that one gang
in an uptown district stopped at two
or three places on one side of
street. even going into one cellar to
get the receptacles.

WAR SAVING SOCIETIES
TO BE FORMED TO AID u. S. BY
PURCHASING BRIGHT STAMPS

The vast nationwide war savings
campaign invaded Harrisburg today,
heralded by concise reading matter
which tells in few words what this
movement means and how it can be
organized in every part of the coun-
try. From now on the Ietters wv.
;. s. will be very familiar to the
American citizen, for the Govern
ment is behind this great money
raising project with all its energies.
Simplicity of organizing is perhaps
the first thing that one discovers
about this method for universal
saving. Ten or more persons may
form a War Saving Society, meeting
in factory. school, church. clubhouse.
the home of any member or at any
may hold a meeting in their class
rooms at such times as will not inter-
fere with their work.
First should be understood the
purpose of the War Savings Society
which are:
The Purpose
1. To awaken a realization
among the men, women and children
of the entire nation that in their
hands lies the key to the successful
prosecution of the war; that they
can render the most far-reaching
patriotic service through refraining
from the purchase of all unneces-
sary articles, confining themselves to
the use of such things as are neces-
sary for health and efficiency, ard
thus releasing labor and materials
for the support of our armies in the
field; that there is not enough labor
in the United States 10 produce the
great variety of articles needed to
support our soldiers and at the same
time to provide all the comforts and
luXuries we enjoyed when there was
no war.
?. To lay the foundation of thrift
and economy throughout the United
States and to bring home to the peo-
pie the fact that intelligent and con-
sistent saving is not a dry problem
in economics but is the most vital.
practical step towards personal sue
cess.
3. To obtain for the uses of the
Government a large amount OF
money through the sale of War
Savings Stamps, and at the same
time to furnish a method by which
the small investor may put his saw
ings at the immediate service of his
country. Members of War-Saving
port the Government by refraining
from unnecessary expenditures, by
systematic saving, and by obtaining
new members.
How to Proceed
War Savings Stamps and L. S.
Thrift Stamps will very shortly he
ready for distribution at post offices,
banks. trust companies and agen-
cies will be opened at manufacturing

TWO MORE AGREE
TO SETTLE SUITS
HardScrabbIe Owners Accept
Offers Made by Realty
Experts

Two more property owners in the
Hardscrabble district who appealed
from the award of viewers, to-day
agreed to settle their claims against
the city on the new schedule as pre-
pared by three realty experts earlier
in the week and Verdicts were taken
before the court adjourned.
So fad three owners holding six
properties have settled and it is re-
ported that during court next week
more settlements may be made. The
property owners to-day who agreed
TO accept the arounts as submitted
by representatiN of the city were
Fred w. Dingei. owner of 1924
North Front street, who was award
ed S2,65O, and Mary e. Flowers,
holding 1916 North Front street, ac-
cepting $3.50. In both cases special
verdicts were given for additional
amounts to be paid in case 1t Is
decided the city must pay for inn
provements since 1871. This question
is reserved for decision as a special
point of law.
The suit of Arlanda p. Dintaman
against the city has been continued
until Monday. The plaintiff closed
this morning and the city will start
it's defense on Monday. During the
examination to-day the question of
how much Mr.. Dintaman paid for
the premises he holds was borought
out and counsel asked for n continu-
ance of the case on this ground. The
court finally overruled the motion
and said the jury would be instruct
ed not to consider this evidence. All
other jurors were excused until
Thursday when the other cases will
be heard. Most of these are suits
brought by owners of smaller prop
critics the viewers awards ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000.

Germany's victories are emblazon-
ed to the world, the premier said,
but her troubles do not appear iii
bulletins. Something is known of
them, however. The deadly grip of
the British navy is having its effect.
and the valor of the troops is max
ing an impression which will tell in
the end. He said those who during
the last fortnight were organizing
a nervous breakdown in the nation
are the same as those who re-
Gently were organizing a hysterical
shout over the Flanders victories.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he was glad
to understand that Lord Lansdowne's
recent letter had been misunderstood
and that Lord Lansdowne is in agree
ment with President Wilson.
IT also" the premier declared,
"agree with President Wilson, and do
not desire to force u controversy
where none exists.
II warn the nation to watch the
man who thinks there is halfway
house between victory and defeat"
the premier admonished. There are
the men who think you can end the
war now by some sort of what they
call peace-by setting up league
of nations. That is the right policy
after victory; without victory it
would be Il farce"
