PEPPER DENIES
FRICTION EXISTS
IN THE STATE
Philadelphian Declares Safety
Committees Work in
Harmony
By .4ssoeiatsd Press

Philadelphia, June George Whar-
ton Pepper. chairman of the State
Public Safety Committee, to-day gave
out statement denying. as far as he
has knowledge. friction between his
organization and the State Safety and
Defense Committee, of which Gov
ernor Brumbaugh is chairman. His
statement follows
In spite of statements to the con-
trary, there is. as far as I know. no
disagreement between the Committee
of Public Safety and the Commission
named in the appropriation act. The
Commission is subject to a legal duty
to pass upon the propriety of all dis
bursements; and an entirely satisfac-
tory system of auditing has been
agreed upon with the auditor general.
No question has arisen respecting any
expenditure or commitment of the
Committee of Public Safety and no
disagreement exists upon any impor-
tant matter of policy. 1 have seen in
one OF the newspapers a statement at
tributed to the Governor which l feel
reasonably sure he did not make.
ITO deny the existence of q great
and pressing emergency requiring i'm
mediate action would be to deny that
which is known as q fact by every
one. The request for emergency serv-
Ice in connection with the food sup
ply problem, and for the more effec-
tive cooperation of local committees OF
public safety are of vital Importance
in our opinion and we expect prompt
action upon them"

DirigO Was Famous in
u. S. Maritime History

Philadelphia, June 2.-One of the
famous ships of the American mer-
chant marine was lost when the
American schooner Dirigo was sent
to the bottom by sunfire from a
German submarine. She was the first
steel square-rigged vessel that was
ever built in America. Because of
this fact she was named Dirigo. Her
plats were rolled and shaped in Eng
land and then brought to Bath,
Maine, where they were assembled
in 1894.
Although a slow craft, she was one
of the most stately under the Ameri-
can flag. Her appearance in any
port was enough to start all the old
salts talking of the days when the
American flag was seen upon the
seven seas. Her last voyage from
this port was on January II. 1915,
when she sailed from here for Japan
with cargo of 122,200 cases of re-
fined petroleum.
She was one of the famous vessels
of the Sewall fleet of steel Bath-bui
squar-riggers and was used as
model for the others. The William
p. Frye, one of this fleet. was among
the first American vessels to fall prey
to a German submarine. With her
sister ships, the Arthur NJ. Sewall,
which sailed from this port years ago
and has never been heard from; Ed
ward Sewall and the Erskine NJ.
Phelps, tn eDirigo made maritime
history of which all American sea-
men are proud.
1t was on the Dirigo that the late
Jack London. with Mrs. Charmion
London, some years ago made voy-
age around Cape Horn. During this
voyage London completed THE VAL
ley of the Moon"

GERMAN PEOPLE
GRUMBLE OVER
WARS. 'S.LENGTH
Dissatisfaction Grows as the
Chances For Victory Con-
stantly Grow Less
By Associated Press

Copenhagen, June Private ad-
vices from Germany tell of growing
dissatisfaction among the people at
large with the political results of
the ruthless submarine campaign
and the absence of any indications
that it has brought the desired peace
near to hand.
During their long campaign for
the unrestricted use of submarines
the advocates of this measure made
very definite promises of immediate
results. Two or three months was
the phase used everywhere in streets
and newspaper arguments in regard
to the time it would take to bring
England to her knees, ready for
peace. Even though the official pro-
paganda has since declared the gov
ernment bound itself to no particu-
lar time to produce results, the pres
diction that they would be obtained
in two or three months has remain
ed in the minds of the people.
Grumblings are now heard that
although four months have passed,
England shows no signs of weaken
ing, but on the contrary seems de-
termined to prosecute the war more
bitterly than ever.
Statements that France has been
"bled white" and will be forced to
retire from the war have been made
so often that they no longer attract
the slightest credence. The entry
of the United States into the war
and the rupture of relations be-
tween Germany and the bulk of the
neutral world outside Europe is now
taken seriously and regarded with
gloom

MAY WEED OUT
UNFIT AT CAMP
Fort Niagara Roster Closes
With the Arrival of
GuardSmen

Fort Niagara, n. Y, June q
With the arrival yesterday of the re-
mainder of the 243 Pennsylvania
National Guardsmen and also of the
twenty-nine college students recon-
mended by the professor of military
science and tactics of Pennsylvania
College, at Gettysburg, this post now
has its full quota of embryo officers,
numbering 2,377 men.
The original allotment of National
Guardsmen had been placed at 366,
chosen from the different companies
in Pennsylvania. But for some un-
forseen reason several companies
failed to offer recommendation for
that purpose to the War Depart
ment, which then reduced the num-
ber to 243. The camp is now closed
to all making applications and none
for this period will be considered.
Considerable worrying is being
done b ythe members of the camp
because of the recent appointment of
confidential board, which will have
full charge of the wedding out of
the undesirables, unfit and those who
seem backyard in learning the rudi-
ments of modern warfare. 1t has
been rumored, although unconfirm-
ed, that several may lose their
heads" at any time.
More Commissions Expected Soon ,
No more commissions have as yet
been received, although several are
expected in each mail from the War
Department, and great interest is
being shown as to who the lucky
men may be.
Signal practice of the wigwag va
riety was the entire program for
yesterday, making an inspiring spec
tacle in the brilliant sunlight of the
June day. The entirecamp ground
was completely covered by the men
waving the multicolored flags in the
signals they are learning to master.

CLAIMS AUTO IS
EFFICIENCY AID
Vice-President of Studebakcr
Company Says Auto Is Eco
nomic Necessity

THE automobile increases every in
dividuaIs capacity to produce says
l.. j. Ollier, Vice-president and direc-
tor of sales of the Studebaker Cor
poration. Years ago il ceased to be
classed as luxury and now, in every
section of the country, men in every
walk OF life look upon their cars as
a necessity not to be dispensed with.
People generally have come to ac-
cept the fact that the motorcar is an
economic instrument and one of the
greatest aids to modern business ef
ticiency. But, of even greater inn
portance, is the fact that the motor
car contributes untold joys and pleas
ureS to life when used in purely
business way.
ITO the business and professional
man an automobile means not only
added convenience, but also recreation
and relaxation; The morning spin
from home takes the businessman
into his office feeling fresh and vigor-
Gus for the days work. Professional
men md their cars well nigh indis-
pensable now. Because of the automo-
bile their patients receive better care
better because the physician is at
their bedside before conditions become
to serious. And the stiff breeze of a
swift ride over the roads is of in
estimable value to the doctors mental
and physical we'll being.
statesmen in various lines of busi-
ness often find their efficiency greatly
enhanced by the use of a motorcar
More calls per day can be made and
a larger territory coVered--result,
more sales and increased business. Be
sides, the salesman with a car finds
his health is greatly improved from
this outdoor travel
ITO the family an automobile means
health, strength and added vigor-it
means, in fact, increased happiness.
The joys of touring-of the short
weekend trip, or even the evening
ride about town-are to well known
to need further description from me.
Used rightly, the automobile is a
fine thing on the farm. 1t cannot be
used for the same purpose as Clydes-
dale horse, a mtlch COW or a fat pig,
and 1t will not bring iE a revenue in
Just the same way, but it has how =
ever, place to fill, and If used with
the same judgment that one would
expect to exercise with the other
reasonable income it will All that
place just as well as any one of the
others. Nowadays the farmer cannot
AFFORD to use the ordinary means OF
transportation in getting to and from
town, but must make every minute
count in order to realize the fullest
benefit of his investment.
"A motorcar then is a time-saver
a health giver. a business builder. BY
torcRr increases individual energy and
business efficiency. And, naturally
enough, anything that makes better
health. greater happiness, bigger
achievements. is a real economy.
Economy, as | know ii, means more
or less than wise buying, 1t is meas.
ured by value received. The man who
studies and analyzes and compares
usually gets the most for his money

Frank" a splendid fire horse,
owned by the Citizen Fire Company,
and used in the hose wagon for sew
eral years, died this week. He was
about 2S years old. Frank" was
bought in 1899 from George Gear
hart, a huckster, then in business in
Woodbine street. and was used in
the one-horse hose wagon of the
company until 1908, when the COM
pAny received an engine and two
horse chemical and hose wagon, with
q pair of horses for each piece of
apparatus. At that time a question
was raised by some of the city
councilment as to the ownership of
the horse and the matter was taken
into council. That body decided that
the company had bought and paid
for the horse. and the animal belong
ed to the firemen. The company then
decided to put Frank" on the PEN
sion list and gave him in care of

why don't they do it? 1t is money
in their pockets and it certainly adds
to the pleasure of driving or riding
in car to have a smooth running
motor. Whether it Is inattention or
a false view of economy, it is certain
that oil is cheaper than bearings. If
they are not kept fabricated the bear
ings are going to grind out. With hot
weather coming on conditions are
more severe on bearings than in the
cooler months of the year.
This trouble with thin oil in the
crankcase is getting worse instead of
better as time goes on. One reason
may be the lower grade of fuel which
is commonly used now. High grade
gasoline exploded practically the full
charge in the cylinder at every shot
The low grade heavier fuel of to-
day is very likely not TO burn up COM
pletely, so some gasoline gradually
leaks down through the cylinder and
gets into the oil and helps thin it.

president OF no American Lhryns-
illogical Society and tho Rhinelosical
Society, made the proffer, following
an address by Major Lyster of the
United States army, during which he
said that the government intends to
enlist 10000 men for the aviation
corps. Peculiar qualifications are
necessary for men in this branch,
They must be possessed OF extraor-
dinarily good sight and be able to
keep their equilibrium under all cir
cumstances, this latter qualification
necessitating among other things
very acute hearing.
Requires Great Care
II am an officer in the medical
reserve" said DIR. Culp to-day but l
hope to see the work Of examination
well started here before l am called
away. Medical examination of cam
didates for the aerial corps requires
great care and more time than Is
necessary for other branches OF the
service. Men who may have some
slight physical disqualification to bar
them from the infantry or artillery,
if they have the nerve. the sight and
ability to maintain their equilibrium
will be acceptable. The task OF
wedding out from the applicants 10,-
600 men we'll fitted will be gigantic
and for that reason / felt that Har-
rsburg should do its share. l am
going to prepare at once to begin
work"
Major Lyster is relative of Col

Goodyear Has Efficient
Fire Fighting System

In these wartime days, when every
pound of product that our varied in
dustries can produce, has a direct
bearing on our efficiency as a fight
ing nation, the loss that the country's
tire output would sustain through
the destruction of any of our large
tire manufacturing plants is almost
incalculable.
The building of tires, in common
with many other industries, has it's
own peculiarities in the matter of
fire-hazards. In the early days of
the rubber industry it was no un-
common occurrence for a rubber
plant to be completely wiped out-in
fact such confiagrations REQUIRED
with painful regularity, entailing
tremendous physical loss to the own
ers, in addition to the indirect losses
which always come as a result of
fires.
Latterly, however, rubber manu-
facturers have reduced their fire haz-
ards immeasureably, through the
agencies of effective preventative
measures of maintenance of trained
fire-fghting forces.
One of the companies that stand
out conspicuously in this regard is
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Akron, Ohio, which for eight
years has maintained an organization
that holds an enviable record in the
reduction of fire losses.
During the past year the Goodyear
force fought 106 fires which re-
suited in a physical loss of only
$7.430--a remarkable record when
it is remembered that the company S
hazard is distributed over seventy
five acres of floor space.
Goodyear uses the three platoon
system, with twenty men to each pla-
toon. The department is regularly
organized with its chief and a cap
tain in charge of each platoon. The
signal system used allows the depart
ment to reach any part. of the NAM
moth Goodyear plant in ninety sec
ondS.
