Elgin Six Production
Records Are Broken

When Christopher Columbus came
to America he made the greatest
sail on record"
Likewise the Elgin Motor Car Cor
poration of Chicago claims that the
Elgin Six is having 1.-The greatest sale
on record" in comparison with the
sales of other companies during a
like period in their early history.
Sales Manager G.. Vernon Beck, of
the Elgin company, states that addi-
tional factory space, near completion,
will permit the building of thirty cars
81 day. The factory now is rushed every
minute by the long list of orders await
ing shipment.
More than 1000 Elgin Skies already
have been sold for delivery between
the present date and August so, 1917.
Mr. Beck reports that the company's
business is growing tremendously and
that they are receiving a great inflow
of new dealers applications, both
from America and abroad. AS a result,
it has been decided to erect several
additions to the factory, in order to
permit the building of from 10000 to
$4,000 cars after the original years
allotment of 1900 is completed.
When it is remembered that pro-
duction of the Elgin Six was started
only last April, the showing the COM
pany already has made is remark
able, and indicates that the Elgin peo-
pie are we'll on the road towards be-
coming one of the largest motor car
concerns in America.

STATE RUSHING
WORK ON ROADS
Important Preparedness Eff
forts Are Under Way in Many
Parts of Pennsylvania

Two thousand men went to work
on the main highways of Pennsylvania
this week in accordance with the order
issued by State Highway Commissioner
Black to put them into shape for any
emergency traffic. More will be en-
ployed as rapidly as conditions permit,
as there are a number of sections of
the state where the frost has not yet
come out of the ground sufficiently to
allow such repair work as is required.
The rush orders sent to the division
engineers and the county road superin.
tendents called upon them to make
every effort to fit the roads for travel,
especially in vicinity of market towns
and points where demands of traffic
might turn out to be heavy. The men
who are carried on the department
lists were quickly modified and work
was started in short order. In other
districts where work is not yet pos
sible the plans were outlined and
everything made ready for seasonable
weather.
Contracts for materials and supplies
have all been placed and the hauling
of road materials is in progress in
every county where it is possible. I'm
mense quantities of material will be
mbled this spring and summer for
the repair of highways so that there
will be no shortage If emergency arises.

RECRUITING IS
NOW STIMULATED
National Guard Officers En-
couraged by State Officials
to Fill Up Commands

Officers of the National Guard units
throughout the state are making eff
forts to recruit their commands to the
highest peace strength possible under
the equipment available by the state
government and some of them have
been. able to not only fill their COM
mands-but to establish reserve lists of
men on whom they can call in the
event of the Guard being ordered into
active service and being directed to go
to war Strength.
While no orders have been issued
for filing of the Guard to the limit
allowed in times of peace, recruiting
has been encouraged by the hi5h
officers and equipment furnished as
far as possible. Some of the organ
izations returned to the state from the
border up to their limits and have
waiting lists. The majority, however,
are not so we'll provided with men.
Many of the officers have taken pains
ever since they came back from
FL Paso to get lines on men so that If
a new call came they would not be
handicapped by shortage as was the
case in the mobilization last June. =
The National Guard is well beyond
the 1880 minimum which it is re-
quired to maintain, but in the event of
war 1t would have to raise the strength
of the division to 24,500. The equip
ment for the Guard is furnished by
the United States government.
Details of location of mobilization
or recruit camps in the event of call
to active service will depend upon gov
ernment orders and weather con-
ditions. Spring work in preparation
of Mount Gretna has been started.

AUTO BILL IS IN
Carries Jail Sentence and Pro-
hibits Tampering With Stand
ing Machines

The Safety First automobile regula-
tion bill, backed by organized automo-
bile owners and urged by number Of
officials of cities, is out of committee
and will be on first reading in tho
House on Monday night. The bill
carries Jail sentences for violations and
prevents issuance of any special Ii
censes to any person who has dis
qualification such as a lost arm or
leg.
The bill was presented by Rep
resentative w. w. Mearkle of Pitts
burgh, and replaces one offered earlier
in the session. 1t would prevent any
incapacitated person from running
even specially constructed car Any
one violating this section is liable to a
line of 500 to $500 or thirty days and
be disqualified from ever getting a Ii
cense. The incapacitated persons are
defined as those who have lost hand
a loot or who can not distinguish OBJ
Jects when wearing glasses at dis
tance of $50 feet or who has less than
20 per cent. of normal visage or who
has less than 2 per cent. of normal
hearing.
No person under eighteen years of
age may operate a. motor vehicle.

Gated or taking part in any race of

make speed record is to be fined and
given a Jail sentence, If the court so
determines.

boarding or alighting; that no one
may hang on" a motor vehicle with
specific prohibition of persons, with
roller skates; that no one may blow a
horn, tamper with levers, tamper with

any highway.
The suggestion of Chief Connell, of
the Philadelphia Highway Bureau, that
70 per cent. of the motor license fees
collected in Philadelphia by the State
Department be remitted to that city
for maintenance of streets, has
aroused considerable interest here.
On basis of $4,000 licenses issued
annually to motor vehicle owners in
Philadelphia, and on an average of SIS
each, that city would collect approx
mately $393,750 in rebates, if Chief
Connel's suggestion took the form of
legislation
A bill, sponsored by Representative
Conner, of Philadelphia, providing
that one-half of all registration and
license fees collected by the State from
Philadelphia motor vehicle owners
shall be returned to that city, is now
pending in the Legislature, having
only recently been referred to the
House Public Roads and Highways

New Way to Remove
Hairs Creates Sensation
(ActualIy Takes Out the ROots)

What beauty specialists regard as
one of the most important discoveries
in recent years is the phelactine method
of removing superfluous hair. Its great
advantage, of course, lies in the fact
that it actually removes the hair roots
1t does this easily, instantly. harmless
ly. Sufferers from the affliction named
need no longer despair. The actual
hair-roots come out before your very
eyes, leaving the skin as smooth and
hairless as n babes.
Because it offers such complete re-
lief, a stick of phelactine is the most
inexpensive thing a woman can buy for
the removal of hairy growths. For the
same reason druggists do not hesitate
to sell it under a money-back guaran-
it is so harmless one could even eat it
without any i'll effect.-Advertisem
