RickenbGcher Found Job
as Pershing's Chauffeur
Too SlOw; Wanted Speed

New York, May 1. = Lieutenant
Eddie Rickenbacher, victor in an air
duel over the German lines in
France, resigned as chauffeur at the
wheel of General Pershing's automo-
bile because he wanted more speed,
according to his friends here. He
obtained a commission in the avia-
ton service within three months
from the slime he left America, for
he was unhappy unless he could
move faster than seventy miles an
hour and General Pershing's opera
tions did not require that his auto
mobile travel so swiftly.
Rickenbacher, hero of many thrill
ling automobile races in this country
and holder of n number of motor
records at the age of 80, said on the
eve of Americas entry into the war
that these race drivers would turn
airmen. He was one of the first to
fulfill hi sown prediction. Shortly
after General Pershing reached Eu-
rope. Rickenbaeher followed him and
offered his services as chauffeur. The
American commander knew his roc
ord and accepted him.

The Klingerstown Roller Mills, To-
Gated on the Mahontonga creek just
over the Schuylkill county line above

by one of the agents of the Dauphin
County Food Administrators.
Action was taken by the admins

William NJ. Zerby. proprietor of the
klngerstown mill, that he had ex-
changed, peddled and sold wheat
hour without substitutes. Zerby was
brought before Donald Mccormick,
administrator for Dauphin county,
last night, and admitted that he had
made sales for more than four
months in violation of the food laws
and that during the past three or
four weeks he had been selling flour
from his wagon in the country dis
trict and in Lykens.
Further action will be taken
against Zerby by Hugh Dolan. ad-
ministrator for Schuyllill county in
which the Klingerstown mill Is To-
Gated, as the facts in the case have
been forwarded to him. In the in

S. S. s., a remedy made from

best treatment for Rheuma-

the acid, driving it out, and
building up the blood so it
can supply nourishment and
strength to every part of the
body, it drives out Rheuma-
tism permanently. Being pure

unless he has changed his residence
to another precinct
The heavy registration was pre-
dlcted by Harry B. Saussaman. chair
man of the subcommittee, which all
day worked in the various wards.
He said:
From the many inquiries. both by
telephone and in person, which the
members of my committee and NV
self have been receiving. and from
all reports we have at hand. I feel
sure that we should have "a heavy
registration"
1t was new sort of campaign for
Harrisburg. The ward prohibition
workers kept tabs accurately all
day, and, late in the afternoon. he
ing able to see what proportion had
not enrolled. they Immediately made
personal calls and many stragglers
were urged to make good at the
last moment.
Enroll in Parties
Some confusion resulted at certain
enrolment.
Can you swear that you voted at
the last election when you cast a
ballot for majority of the candi-
dates OF the party whose nominees
you want to vote for?" was chal-
lenged of many who wanted to iden-
tify themselves with a party.
For the first time many intelligent
persons learned that if not enrolled
in any political party they had no
right to cast a ballot for party NOM
inees and to that extent are olsen
franchised at the primary election.
Another dilemma which was COM
mon was the failure to have paid
taxes, state or county. within two
years.
To-day's registration day was also
designed for those voters who have
become of age since the registration
days last fall. In order to be able
to vote at the primaries this month.
1t Will be necessary for such men
to be on the registrars lists, and to
do so 1t will be necessary to register
to-day. No tax receipt is necessary
when registering on age.
The committees of churchmen. who
rang doorbells and worked hard to
get out the ay-at-homes," were
pleased this afternoon at the spirit
shown by the voters.
The Ratification Committee will
hold another meeting on Friday aft
ernoou In the headquarters IN the
| Dauphin Building. when preliminary
plans will be laid for inaugurating
an active campaign in all parts of
! the city and county for the legisla-
tive candidates endorsed by the
committee on both Democratic and

mittee thus hopes to aid the passage
of the prohibition amendment by

pirants pledged to back the measure.

LOCAL BOYS in
THICK OF FIGHT
Shelley Brothers and Douglas
Beidel Return TO Service
After Long Rest

Roy and Carl Shelley and Doug
las Beidel. three Steelton boys who
are ambulance drivers in France
have returned to service at the front
after long rests. The local boys
spent their rests with French fam
i1its far from the roar of the big
guns.
Roy Shelley's letter. written on
April Z, received to-day, is as fol-
lows:
We are back again at the front
playing the old army game of dodg-
ing shells. Our section is highly
honored by being given an opportu-
nifty to take an active part in the
worlds greatest battle. 1 cannot
tell you our exact location, but we
are in the thickest of the fighting.
When we arrived here, 1 again gave
up the cooking job and am driving
an ambulance. Work twenty-four
hours and off twenty-four hours.
Carl. Douglass and 1 are fortunate
enough to be on the same shift
and are always assigned to the
same post. Makes it very pleasant
for us, for during the dull moments
we can crawl into a dugout and
swap stories about good old Steel
ton and the crowd.
Open Fighting
1t is very hard to imagine the
condition of this front. No trenches
as yet, no hills, in fact no protec-
ton excepting the holes we dig
and believe me, we dig them fast.
BY walking to the outskirts of a
small village where one of our posts
is located, we are able to look over
two level fields, a distance of about
one kilometer, and see the German
forces. We can see the fire flash
from the Boche guns before we hear
the report. 1t is needless to say
that the roads are entirely exposed
to Fritz and he certainly does shell
them, but this is very costly to him
as he receives about ten back for
every one he sends over. The French
are very liberal in this matter. Fritz
has advanced as far as he is going
to in this section. and before long
he'll be on his way back to Berlin.
Shell Strikes Cars
Early this morning a shell fell
alongside of Dougy's car and mine,
with the result that we lost six tires
from the shrapnel-were eighteen
holes in my car, ranging from the
size of n pea to an inch in diameter.
To date our section has had four
cars hit and one of our boys suffered
a slight shrapnel wound in his left
shoulder which necessitated his go
ing to the hospital. The other night
a she'll came through the building
under which we were located, caused
considerable damage but did not
injure any of us.
We are going through an expert
ence of a lifetime. Regardless of
the danger, it's great sport. If the
first shell doesn't get us the second
won't, for boy, we won't be near
that spot. It's a great life if you
don't weaken. Well, it's past hash
time and to be late means to do
without.
This leaves us in the very best of
health and spirits, anxiously look
ing forward to our arrival in dear
old Steelton. Close with the very
best wishes.
So long, ROY.

Almost as Common in
Summer as in Winter.

While the damp, cold, chang
ing weather of Winter intensi-
fies the pains and other dis
agreeable symptoms of Rheu-
matism, it is by no means a
winter disease exclusively.
Through the long months OF
Summer its wandering pains
and twitching nerves are felt by
those who are afflicted with this
disease.
Rheumatism is a disease that
involves the entire system. Its
primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative or
gans, the Liver, Kidneys and
Bowels, to carry out of the sys-
tenn acids and refuse matter.
Not only is Rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases,
with its swollen, stiff Joints,
throbbing muscles and stinging
nerves, but it is a formidable
and dangerous trouble If its
cause is allowed to remain in
the blood and the disease be-
comes chronic, chalky deposits
form at the joints, and they are
rendered immovable and stiff.
and the patient left a helpless
cripple. Every day the poison
remains in the system the dis
ease gets frmer hold. The
best time to get rid of Rheuma-
tism is in warm weather; be-
