Senate Leaders Kill
Bond Issue TO Avoid
an Extra Session
BY Associaied Press

Washington, D. c., March S.-The
naval bill, carrying S535, 100000 and
including provision for next years
building program, was put in the hands
to-day of conferees on the part of the
Senate and House with indications of
an early agreement on all points in
dispute. The bill was sent to confer
ence late last night after the House
had disagreed to all Senate amend
ments. At one time it looked as though
the bill might be killed and an extra
session of Congress forced because
of dispute over a Senate proposal
for a 100000 bond issue The
House objected to the proposal on the
ground that revenue legislation should
originate with it. This difficulty was
quickly smoothed out, however, and
the way paved for final enactment of
the bill when the Senate repassed the
measure with the bond issue elimi-
mated and an agreement reached for
passage of ajoint resolution for that
purpose. The money to be derived
from the bond issue is to be used in
speeding up construction of warships
and building the fifty additional sub
marines provided for by the Senate

SMITH-F0RM-A-
TRUCK EXHIBITED
Front-Market Motor Supply
Company Are Demonstrating
Efficiency of This Type

AS a reslt of the special investiga-
ton carried out by the Smith Form-a-
Truck Company of Chicago, manufac-
turers of the famous attachment
which, combined with a Ford chassis,
makes a guaranteed one-ton truck, 1t
has been demonstrated that this form
of light motor delivery can be oper-
ated at one-quarter the cost of horse
drawn service doing tn same work.
says Mr.. Troy B. Wildemuth, of the
Front Market Motor Supply Company,
local representative for the Smith
Form Truck Company
This investigation has been carried
out all over the country and the re-
suits obtained come from some of the
biggest furniture deatlers and furni-
ture movers.
The first saving is on the ques-
ton of time. 1t has ben shown that
horse-drawn delivery averages from
three to four miles an hour, while
Smith Form-a-Truck doing the same
work maintains an averag of from 2
to Is miles an hour. This is a direct
saving in time charges alone of 70
per cent.
The increased rapidity with which
tn Smith Form-a Truck has been do
ing its work has made it possible for
the delivery department of the big
concerns in questions to be maintain
ed with smaller personnel that is,
each man in the delivery servic is
working NOR nearly at full day eff
cheney, and there is a marked lessen
ing of time wasted at the loading plat
form. The leaders are kept steadily
busy loading trucks that are in and
preparing loads for trucks that are
out in service and that return to the
loading stations at frequent intervals.
Another big saving which has been
definitely proven by the Investigations
made in that part of the operating ex-
pense which in horse drawn service is
represented by feed and in motor SER
vice by gasoline, oil and tires.
The Smith Form-a-Truck has shown
a steady average of from II to is
miles per gallon of gasoline, giving a
cost per mile for gasoline consumption
of from one cent and a half to two
cents, while oil and tires have amount
ed to about one cent and a quarter a
mile collectively.
The Smith Form Truck is admir-
ably suited to furniture store service,
since it affords loading platform los
inches deep. which is sufficiently long
to accommodate any regular or special
type of body which it may be desirable
to use. Practically all types of body
which would ever be found in use by
furniture dealers are at present being
used on the Smith Form Truck, and
it is the consensus of opinion as found
by the investigation among furniture
dealers, that this light economical
form of delivery is the real solution
for decreasing overhead.

HARBOUR AGENCY
PLACED IN CITY
The Light High Speed Motor
Develops 40-Horsepower;
107-Inch Wheelbase

f. w. Shank, at 107 Market street,
has assumed the agency for the Har-
roun car, which was among the new
features at the New York show. and
shipments will begin April /.
Unusual roominess in the body,
more than ample power in the engine
and withal a weight that is decidedly
moderate are among the many fea-
lures that stand out prominently in the
five-passenger car that is the prod
uct of the Harroun Motors Corp, OF
Detroit.
For 1917 the production schedule
calls for $4,000 cars. That this is far
under the probable requirements is
indicated by the rate at which appI-
cations for cars are piling up; appli
cations from dealers have been re-
ceived for more than double the pro-
posed production. it is declared; in
addition. contracts have been made
for some $12, 100000 worth of cars for
export.
Ray Harroun's car is a distinctive
creation without being in any way
freakish. 1t has straight lines, ta-
pered hood an upward sweep of the
upper edges of the body both front
and rear, and is sufficiently low-hung
so that ample depth and width of
the body do not produce a dumpy
just now COInlOI
the tonneau passengers can be is made
evident by the fact that the rear seat
is 9inches wide-and the measure
ment is made inside the upholstery,
which made a lot of difference. The
body is of pressed steel panels on a
steel and wood framework. Tires are
30X3ia. with non-skids in the rear,
and the wheelbase is 107 inches With
its complete equipment the car will
sell for $595.
Something out of the ordinary is
expected in the way of a motor from
a designer who has had the expert
ence Ray Harroun has had with rae
ing motors, and the new car has a
power plant that is in no wise a dis
appointment. 1t is a four with the
cylinders and crankcase cast in a sim
gle block and a removable hea; the
cylinders are Il Ks 4 and the recip-
rocating parts are uncommonly light.
The crankshaft is balanced and the
motor will turn up to 2,S00 +. p. m.
and develop 40 horsepower smoothly
and willingly. When it is considered
that the car weighs a trifle under
l 1900 pounds the ability of the motor
can be readily understood.

Hair Often Ruined
by Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and
1t leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky, bright. lustrous. fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get muisified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every men,
