CALLS CADILLAC EIGHT
REST CAR FROM AMERICA
Writer in Irish Motor Paper Enthusl-
astic After 4O-MiIe Winter Run.

$50 far as my experience goes,
can pronounce the Cadillac Eight the
hest thing in the shape OF motor
car that has yet come to us from the
land of the Stars and Stripes:
Thus wrote an expert IN me MO-
tor News Of Dublin, leading Irish
motor publication, after run OF 40
niles in a Cadillac Eight, through
sIush and congested traffic in the
streets of London and over snow
covered roads in the open country.
He goes on:
eft is to all intents and purposes a
one gear car, as you can use the top
speed (high gear on anything from
five to over sixty miles an hour. the
acceleration is really wonderful. Inc
rate at which the car can jump from
a creeping pace up to mile per
minute was to me revelation. This
was not my first Introduction to the
eight cylinder engine, having made
run several years ago in De Dion
with the same number OF cylinders.
The one impression lett on my mind
in connection with that trip was the
smooth running of the engine. I de-
scrfbed 1t then as being pulled along
by a cable There was not only the
feeling Of sweet and easy running,
but the sense of supreme and con-
slant power as well. My forty mile
run in the new Cadillac, in and out OF
traffic, through slush and snow, up
hill and on level, was repetition OF
my previous experience.
ITO use an Americanism, the Cad
lilac is some car, as it provides
comfort bordering on luxury, speed
far beyond ones requirement, and
ease of control, so simple that a child
could drive it. Thanks to a highly
organized factory and an enormous
output, the American company is able
to put this car on the market at a
price that almost defles con2etiton."

A Glimpse Of Boy Scout Life.
A scout holds his honor as his
most precious possession, and he
would rather die than have 1t stained.
He knows what is his duty and all
obligations imposed by duty he full
fills of his own free will. His sense
of honor is his only taskmaster and
this he guards jealously.
A scout practices self control, fo-
he knows that men who master prob
lens in the world must first master
themselves. He keeps a close guard
on his temper and never makes a
silly spectacle Of himself by losing
his head. He keeps close guard on
his tongue, for he knows that loud
speech is often a. cloak of ignorance,
that swearing is a sign of weakness
and that untruthfulness skaters the
confidence Of others. He keeps d
close watch on his appetite and eats
food that will make him strong; he
refuses to poison his body with al
coholic LIQUORS and avoids tobacco
because he desires a clear, active
brain
A scout never flinches in the face

16 OUNCES FIXED
ASSTANDARDLO
Two Bills Are Aimed to Protect
Consumers in Making
Purchases

A bill fixing sixteen ounces as the
standard weight for loaf of bread
and prohibiting the sale of bread
weighing less than a pound was intro
duced in the Senate last night by Sen
ator Endsley, of Somerset county.
The measure has the support OF
James Sweeney. chief of the State Bu-
reau of Standards, who has been
working for months on the PROPOSE
ton. The bill provides that thirty
two ounces shall be the secondary
standard. Bread may be sold in eX-
cess of this amount.
The weight of the loaf must be
plainly stamped on the wrapping or on
a tag securely fastened thereto. ac-
cording tothe bills provisions. In
case the bread is not wrapped then
the weight must be stamped in the
bread itself. The bill provided that
poultry must be sold by the pound.
This would prohibit the sale of chick
ems and turkeys at so much per fowl.
1t also provides for the marking of
meats in wrapping.
A second bill covering the sale of
foodstuffs introduced by Senator
Burke, Allegheny, make it mandatory
that all food be sold either by lawful
standard or by numerical count, and
provides that all package goods be
marked in letters not less than a quar-
ter of an inch high showing the net
weight. The bill is aimed at dealers
who sell foodstuffs by unknown guam
tites. Violation of the act call for a
fine OF 500 forthe first offense and
maximum fine of $500 or three
months Imprisonment for second vio-
lations

record in his department of the fund.
The boards letter was as follows:
