NO SESSIONS ON I
DECORATION DAY
Will Adjourn To-
morrow For Remainder
of Week II

The Pennsylvania Legislature Wilt
not sit on Memorial Day. The senas
tors will probably adjourn late to-
morrow for the weekand it will be
determined tonight whether the
representatives will adjourn to-mor-
row until Thursday or until next
week. Indications are that the leg
islators will close up for the week
tomorrow.
A proposition for the Legislature
to adjourn this week until Wednes-
day of next week to permit legisla-
tors to be in their home communities
on registration day is being discuss
sed, but action on it is uncertain.
The object raised to it is that IL
would retard the closing up which
some of the upstate men want to-
secure on June 81, although it looks
more like June 2S as the time to
quit.
The woman suffragists are delug-
ing the members of the House with
circulars in which the representa-
tiVes are criticised for their attitude
on the constitutional amendment and
urged to support motion to put on
the calendar the Mitchell bill to al
low women to vote at presidential
elections.

past season, leads us to reflect once
more on how human institutions run
in circles. The stage began with the
miracle plays, amateur perform
ances meant to teach the truths of
religion. To-day, when the tired
businessman" is the god of the the
ater and when anything that pro-
vokes thought or teaches lesson
is looked at askance, the amateur
stage is coming forward again as a
teacher, this time to promote the
modern religion of public health.
Educators in all parts of the coun-
try have been requested by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to make
use of Health Plays" now being dis
tributed by the association to teach
the lessons of pure air, wholesome
food and proper living.
These plays, group of 15 of
which have been written by teachers
and social workers, to be acted by
childen, teach in dramatic form the
facts of health. They deal in a sim
pie manner with such problems as
clean milk, fresh air, medical inspec-
ton, and public health nursing.
Veterans of the various posts will
assemble tomorrow morning at
their headquarters and leave prompt
ly at 10 o'clock for Pine Street Pres
byterian Church, where the Rev. DR..
Lewis S. Nudge, pastor, will deliver
the annual Memorial address. In
the afternoon a special car will leave
Market Square at 2 o'clock for West

All Married Men to Be
Exempt in First Draft

Washington. May 2S. - All mar
ried men Will be exempted on the
first draft. There will be no whole
sale industrial exemptions by speci-
fed classes or occupations. While
many details of the operation of the
system by which 5000 men be-
picked for the army are still to be
formulated, the two focal points
mentioned above have been settled.
They are embodied in a list of rules
prepared by the distinguished COM
mittee of civilians called together by
President Wilson and working on the
exemption features with the provost
marshall general. The conferences
with the higher and responsible Off
cials, il was disclosed to-day. have
resulted in approval of the two ma
jor points.
The two questions of exemption of
pen with dependents and those in
Industry at home have proved the
most difficult to work out with even
handed justice. The difficulty of de-
termining whether a married man
was actually needed to support his
family was the consideration that
finally determined the officials to eX-
empt all married men.
As the men with other dependent
relatives, such as an aged mother or
father, the decision will be up to the
local county or city board with fin
a decision, in case of appeal, resting
with a district Federal board APP
peal from the district board may, in
turn, be made to President Wilson.

Hoover to Enlist Women
to Save Nations Food

Washington, May 2S.-Enlistment
of the country's housewives into the

ask every woman who presides over
a household to come in as an actual
member of the food administration,
to shus be entitled to the badge of
the administration and to sign a.
written pledge to lcarry out the adj

FRANKLIN NOT
AVERSE TO TAX
President Declares Large Pay
roll Will Not Be Curtailed;
200 Cars Weekly

Optimism was the dominant note
of commendts made yesterday by H.
H. Franklin, president of the H. H.
Franklin Manufacturing Company,
on what is happening in the automo-
bile business now that this country is
at war with Germany.
Mr.. Franklins views, conflicting
somewhat with those promulgated
by the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce in the fight against
the proposed war tax on automo-
biles, were of particular interest in
bringing out the fact that the Frank
lin industry, having the largest fac
tory in Syracuse, has not suffered
any curtailment through the declara-
ton of war. No orders have been
cancelled on account of war condi-
tions.
The Franklin company will pay a
tax of $1,OOO,OOO on it's factory out
put if the proposal contained in the
war revenue bill, now pending in
Congress, to put a per cent. tax on
the list price of passenger automo-
biles, is adopted. This estimate is
based on scheduled production for a
year beginning June 1.
More han 1900 persons including
the office force, are now employed
at the plant and $4,000 is paid out
every week in wages. Two hun
dred motorcars are being produced
each week.
when a state or war with Ger
many was declared to exist, this
company was 1000 cars behind on
shipping orders" Mr.. Franklin ex-
planned. With the increase in out
put, due to plant expansion, orders
and shipment have been about equal,
so that the company is still appro-
Ximately 1000 cars behind on ship
ping orders.
ut may also be reassuring to SYRIA
cuse people to know that the Frank
lin business for the six months end
ed May 1, 1917, shows an increase
of 143 per cent. over that OF the pre-
ceding six months"
The Franklin Company, according
to its president, is not particularly
disturbed over the government plan
to put a per cent. tax on the list
price of passenger automobiles. At
the same time it has taken the posi-
tion in communications to senator's
and representatives that nothing can
be gained by singing out any one
utility article for an extra heavy
tax.
What we want is prosperity" Mr..
Franklin declared yesterday "The
automobile, no longer merely a thing
for pleasure. is a great factor in
prosperity, and has been for a num-
ber of years, simply because it keeps
the money going around"

Why Frequent Testing of
the Battery Is Necessary

IF a storage battery would make
some noise" says D. j. Moran, local
Willard battery expert, "a groan. or
squeak, or a rattle like other parts
of the machine do when they're out of
order. it would be far better treated
When the car owner hears a squeak
under the hood of his machine, or a
rattle in the body, he knows that
there is something wrong, and is not
content until it has been corrected.
'It is entirely different with a bat
terry. 1t is to the average motorIst
nothing more nor less than a black
box. AS he cannot get into 1t, he is
not very much interested in it's in
ternal working, and when anything
goes wrong with it. there is no noise
to warn him that all is not right.
"on this account it usually gets
little attention. Perhaps the motorist
thinks that because it is quiet it is
all right, and he is, on that account.
apparently panied and shocked when
some day it actually refuses to work
for him.
Even though the battery does not
make a noise when it is not being
well treated, there is one sure means
of telling its condition and that is by.
testing it with a hydrometer syringe.
"Of course, the battery has to be
filled regularly with distilled water
and any car owner who knows the
first elements OF automobile and bat
terry care will do this. 1t is a very
SAihpit ludtltI at TINS time Tor the
owner to stick hydrometer into his
battery and get the specific gravity
of 1t. The hydrometer reading is a
sure index of the batterys condition
I'VE battery men realize that the
hydrometer test is the only means
which the car owner has of keeping
track OF the condition of this battery
that, where other parts of the ma
chine will give some indication Of
the neglect or trouble. the battery
keeps silent. That Is why we Will
lard Service Station men are offer
ing to test any battery at any time.
Experience has taught us that this
is the most satisfactory all-around
for the car owner, because ii does for
him thing that he might forget to
do, or, even IL he thought of 1t, neg
lect to do. for the battery manufac-
turer, because battery that is neg
lected will not give good service and
the manufacturers product, there
fore, gets a black eye to the car
manufacturer, when an accessory of
the machine goes wrong the owner
usually blames the machine itself and
not that accessory. Every one is hap
pier.
ANY car owner that is wise will
take advantage of this free service
that il offered. Battery tests tell a
more eloquent story about the battery
than squeaks or rattles do about the
rest of the machinery of the ma
chine"
