ARMORED MOTOR CAR
TO GO OVER PENN HIGHWAY
Trip to Prove Roads Great Value in
War Time-One Value Is
It's Shortness.

An armored motor car will be sent
United States government late in july
or early in August, according to Will
liam Jennings. president of the Penn
sylvania division of the road. The trip
will prove the highways great value in
time of war. When military travel
starts across Pennsylvania in earnest
the William Penn will be the east
bound route. AS an airline route
through Pennsylvania the William Penn
is shorter than any other highway, de-
ciared Mr. Jennings, and the Harris
burg office, assisted by the governors
OF every county, are arranging to paint
| barn roofs SO that aviators in the ma
tional training school who are given
cross-country runs may properly be
guided across the state. The aviation
route will leave the main William Penn
road at only three places. however
The Montgomery county commission
ers are hurrying the completion of the
county road between Norristown and
Philadelphia, on the William Penn
highway. and this road, which will cut
the time to Philadelphia by many min
utes. VIII be completed before Septem-
Der /. Much improvement will come this
summer on the highway between Read
ing and Allentown. and the three miles
stretch between Allentown and Easton
will also be built The New Jersey
highway department has informed the
William Penn Highway Association
that the better route between Easton,
Pa. and New York lies through Som
erville and Bound Brook This is one
Of the routes soon to be improved under
New Jerseys new road law, and will cut
the time between Harrisburg and New
York by ninety minutes. AS a result of
the freeing of the Berks-Dauphin turn
pike on the William Penn highway be-
tween Reading and Harrisburg through
travellers will find themselves called to
pay ony 40 cents between Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia or Pittsburgh and
Easton. Fifteen cents Of this sum is
charged near Lewistown. and this toll
| road will be freed through court action
before September !. The Cambria
county commissioners are completing
nine miles of permanent road between
Ebensburg and Cresson, and this
route Is being extensively used. The
last half mile of brick on this highway
will be laid this month. according to
the commissioners.

If springs squeak badly and you have
no time to separate the leaves and
grease them properly. try the follow
ing: Pour enough kerosene over them
so that some of 1t will run in between
the leaves. At the same time wipe
off all dirt. Then wipe off the kero-
sene and pour oil on top. guiding 1t
down the sides of the leaves. 1t fol-
lows the kerosene in between the
leaves and usually stops the squeak.
When two or more leaves of a spring
break 1t is not advisable to install new
leaves without resetting the spring.

THE EXPERTS SAY.

If you have detachable wheels. re-
members that the metal parts may rust.
Every time you change a wheel cover
the metal contact surfaces with grease.
otherwise the detachable wheel will no
longer be detachable.
Opening the relief valves to see if q
cylinder is missing explosions is a
good way, but it sometimes fails unless
you speed up the motor. Give the en-
CINE plenty of gas and you will fire.

Says Nation Must Awake
to That Fact.

the fact that roads are not only neces-

-, greatest Importance for the mobiliza-
ton Of armies in times of war" as

passage of the federal aid road act.

dorsement of all the people in this

possibly alive to the fact that roads
are necessary for military purposes.

Correlated Plan Is Urged.
ut is almost impossible to say posi-
lively what roads may meet the mill

there must be a correlated plan, the
cost of which must be shared by the
national government and state and
county.
1T has been suggested that war pris-
oners can be logically employed in mil
itary road construction. and one finds
himself very much inclined to agree
with the suggestion of the national
committee on prisons that we utilize
whatever foreign prisoners we now or
will possess. Most of these men will
undoubtedly be kept in southern states,
where the need of trunk road con-
struction awaits the earliest possible
attention"

Some of the Dont's.

Among the "don'ts'' for the caretaker
of n car are these:
Never run the car in the mud If a de-
tour will permit you to escape it. Mud
is the natural foe of machinery.
Never use rough cloths with which to
wipe, clean Or polish your car
never use an excess of oil or body
polish 1t collects dust and turns it
into grit
Never use muddy or soiled water with
which to wash your car
Never fold a top down when it is wet
never allow mud to remain on a car
one moment longer than is absolutely
possible.
Never allow mud, if possible, to dry
on the car. Wash off Immediately with
cold water.
Never dig, scrape, chisel or shovel
mud from the polish. 1t destroys the
Varn1sh and paint.
Never use force for any p,,rnosa
weak solution of soda will cajole the
body VIM 'Ae
Never dry the surface with soapv
water on IT. Rinse all soap and SOAP
suds Off before drying
Chamois Cheapest in End.
Never use any rough-f1bered CLOTH
Chamois skin has high first cost, but
Is cheapest in the end
Never employ a roundabout circular
rotary motion in polishing the car Al
straight out, back and forth, piston
thrust is what should be used
never use hot water on the car. Wash
with cold water.
Never accept Tom, Dick and Harry's
sure restorer of the original factory
sneen and luster." Mark Twain said
that everybody has a certain cure for
colds So almost every driver and gar
age keeper implicitly avows his body
ponsn to be the best for the car Dead

GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which viii Be Bind
ino on All Dealers

Washington. i Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, effec-
tive at once, for the limitation of the
retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumner, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost of his
coal In making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to the consumer at price
representing an advance of not more
than so per cent over the retail gross
is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin OF July. 1917.
If, for example. a retail coal dealer
bought particular kind of coal In
1915 at an average of 81 a ton and
sold II to the consumer at So ton.
his gross margin was 81 DR.. Garfield
now allows him to add 30 per cent to
this amount, making his gross margin
for 1917 S1.30, provided that is not In
excess of his gross margin In July
last
If the retail dealer now pays an av-
erage of SO for the same kind OF coal
he will be allowed to sell 1t to the con-
sumer for not more than $3.50 ton.
Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as
normal coal production year

on marine. casualty. fire and inland
assurances.
Amusement taxes agreed upon pro-
vide that all persons entering places
of amusement free, except employees
and officials on duty and children I'M
der twelve, would pay tax rate of l
cent on each 10 cents or fraction
thereof of the admission charge. This
tax also would apply to cabarets and
similar performances where the cost
of entertainment is included in other
costs, such as service. Holders of an
nual box seats would pay 10 per cent
of the annual rental. Nickel theaters
and shows. rides and other outdoor
park amusements with maximum adj
mission of 10 cents and benefit enter
tainments and agricultural fairs were
exempted.
After November !, 1917, members of
all clubs, except fraternal orders, pay
ing more than $12 annual dues would
be subject to 10 per cent tax
Exemptions Are Allowed.
On excess profits the conferees
agreed upon a minimum deduction of
per cent and maximum of 10 per
cent instead of the 6 to 10 per cent
fixed by the senate Other exemp-
lions are $1,000 for corporations and
$4,000 for individuals. Corporations,
partnerships and individuals having
no capital stock would pay fiat rate
of per cent on net profits in excess
of $1,000 for corporations and $4,000
for individuals and partnerships.
Miscellaneous income tax amend
ments inserted by the senate were
generally adopted. including the So
called Jones amendment for a tax of
10 per cent on corporations indis-
tributed surplus, without allowance
for income taxes paid. The 10 per
cent tax would not apply to undis-
tributed income actually invested or
employed in business or invested in
federal securities after September l,
1917, and per cent penalty for sur
plus retained but not employed is pro-
vided.
In making provision for administra-
ton and collection of the new and
existing taxes the conferees provided
that the special tax of 12h per cent
on war munitions manufactures shall
be reduced to 10 per cent, but re-
tanned to January l. 1918. 1t now
