NEW SCHEDULES
OUT NEXT WEEK
Issue Special Instructions to
day Include Many Sub
urban Trains

New passenger train schedules
will be issued in the very near future
by the Pennsy and Philadelphia and
Reading Railway. That of the Penn
sylvanta Railroad will come next
week. The Readings new timetable
will be out January IS, according to
official reports to-day. 1t is the gen.
eral belief of all local railroad Of
1cials that the cut in passenger
trains is about complete.
The curtailment of passenger train
service went merrily along yester-
day, both the Reading and Pennsyl-
vania announcing revisions in their
suburban and through schedules.
The Reading gave notice of the an
nulment of u roundtrip express run
between Philadelphia and Scranton,
md also took off two express trains
between Washington and New York
via the Baltimore and Ohio, at the
same time announcing as contemA
plated a decrease of four trains in
the passenger service between Phil
adelphia and Atlantic City.
Pennsy Pruning
The latest pruning done by the
pennsylvania included 1856 daily and
Sunday trains. On the main line
twenty-five electric trains have been
eliminated from the daily schedule
and twelve from the Sunday between
Broad street and Paoli. The Penn
sylVania Seashore service lost a pro-
portionate number of trains and the
through schedule, both between New
York and Washington and Philadel-
phia and points west" was cut
wherever it appeared necessary to
further the policy of the manage
ment toward clearing tracks, con-
n
rolling stock and equipment for the
prompt movement of coal, preferen-
tial freight, war munitions, govern
ment supplies and troops. The
changes announced by the Pennsy
will become effective on Sunday,
January 6.
1t is understood that good service
for trains carrying workmen will be
continued, and that on none of the
Pennsy branches will there be a lack
of facilities to get commuters to and
fecting Harrisburg were made pub
lie yesterday.
Clear Way For Coal
On the Sunbury division, between
Pottsville and Shenandoah and
Pottsville and Sunbury, via HaZleton,
twelve or more trains will be with
drawn and the schedule of others
revised. The purpose of this is to
clear that division for the transpor-
tation of anthracite coal to Phila-
delphia, as the division traverses
some of the most important an
thracite coal producing regions on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. A num-
ber of midday trains will be elm
mated on branch lines on practically
all portions of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad east of Pittsburgh, to ia

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
letter, pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable
treatment for skin troubles of all kinds.

PENVSY WANTS
MEN EXEMPTED
Tissue Special Instructions to
Employees Needed in
Service

Pennsy employees are receiving
special instructions on question
naires. In order to maintain a high
standard of efficiency, officials will
make a strong plea for exemptions.
That aid will be given employees
who. as registrants, seek deferred
classification or exemption, in case
they are in positions where their
services are vital to the company's
interests, is shown in the following
general notice issued by N. w. Smith.
superintendent of the Philadelphia
division and posted on all bulletin
boards:
Men Badly Needed

naires being sent out by local draft
boards to registrants. the manage

following classes necessary to the
maintenance of the national interests
during the emergency:
Train service.
Maintenance of equipment serv-
ice.

Track foremen and assistant track
foremen.
Such other classes of employees in
the judgment of the superintendent
considered necessary for the proper
carrying out of the business.
Therefore, any regiStrant on the
Middle division, desiring supporting
affidavits of his employing officer and
superintendent, for the purpose OF
obtaining deferred classification OIL
exemption, should take the matter ur
promptly with the head of his de-
partment, presenting his question
naire with answers to the necessary
questions under Series XI, industrial
occupations, properly filled in"

Steel Plant Slightly
Hampered by Water

Officials of the local steel plant
said to-day that operation of the
works, although slightly hampered
by the zero weather of the last few
days, was not delayed to any serious
extent. 1t was necessary for some of
the smaller departments to close
down this morning on account of the
low pressure of steam. The coal sup
ply is about as good as can be ex-
Pected; an official said. Every effort
is to be made to have the steady
stream of shipments arrive at the
plant daily, in order to avert a serious
shortage.

Children Insist on Using
Streets For Winter Sport

Children of the borough, accord
ing to the police, insist on using
streets crossing street car tracks for
coasting. Officers have been instruct
ed by the chief of police to tell all
children to sled on streets where
they are not compelled to cross the
tracks, but as soon rs the officer
turns his back the coasting is re-
sumed. There is an ordinance pro-
hibiting this practice and it will be
enforced rigidly, the chief said, if
the children do not obey the officers
request. The ordinance provides
that the burgess name several streets
in the borough where coasting may
be carried on but this was not done.
1t is likely that this ordinance will
be brought up before Council at the
next meeting

CADILLAC COMPANY
ELECTS NEW MANU-
FEATURING HEAD
J. r. Guider Comes From Pierce
Arrow as Cadillac Vice
President.

John F. Guider. formerly, factory
superintendent OF the Pierce-Ar-
row Motor Car Company, and an
executive of that concern for more
than twelve years, has been elect
ed vice-president of the Cadillac
Motor Car Company, in charge OF
manufacturing.
Mr. Guider, who has already as
sumed work in his new capacity
at Detroit, says: at has always
been my policy and practice TO
build a first class product and to
improve it, and in what | have
seen at the Cadillac shops l have
been impressed by the fact that
this is exactly the Cadillac policy"
He is As years old and comes
from a New England family of
manufacturers. He started to
work when eleven years old, and
has had an unusually broad exper-
fence. His apprenticeship as a
machinist and tool maker was with
the Yale Lock Company, now tho
Yale & Towne Manufacturing Com
pany, of Stanford, Conn Building,
installing and testing marine en-
gines was a later pursuit. Other
connections were with the Ameri-
can Graphophone Company at
Bridgeport, Conn, and as a me-
chanical expert in New York
patent office. He also did re-
search and experimental work for
the Union Typewriter Company.
Mr.. Guider went to the Pierce
Arrow Company in 1905, and two
years later became general factory
superintendent. He remained in
that capacity until Jan. 1st, when
he assumed charge of the manu-
facture of Cadillac cars.
Behind the chronology of Mr..
Guider's connections is an inter
esting story of self development.
Among his hobbies are physics,
music and law. He is a student of
all three.
