Automobile Cowboy
Now a Reality

From a ranch near Victoria, Kan
sas, steps forth H. E. Hensley, with
the unromantic but intensely thrill
ing declaration that he has supplant-
ed his cow pony" with an automo-
bile, and is successfully employing
the motor car in cattle-roping ex-
petitions and other tasks that for
years have fallen to the lot of the
broncho.
In his daily occupation on the
range, Mr.. Hensley uses a Good
rich equipped Ford autom obile,
driven by a colored chauffeur. The
car gets over the uneven ground in
good shape and with probably less
jolting to the riders than the frisky,
bucking broncho. =.
Coming to a herd of cattle and
observing that a certain long-horn
is in need of some particular atten-
tion and should be separated from
his brother animals, Mr.. Hensley i'm
parts the information to his pilot
Immediately the machine begins
heading for a specific bovine.
Mr.. Hensley stands on the rum
ming board. lasso in hand, ready to
drop the flying moose over the head
of certain steer The latter dashes
wildly away over the range.
Right on the trail of the flying
long-horn purrs the automobile.
Nearer and nearer it draws and soon
the distance is right" With one
hand clutching the side of the car,
Hensley whirls the lariat, the chauf-
feur jams on the brakes and the
jobs complete.
Mr.. Hensley uses Goodrich tires
on his gasoline Cow pony" and re-
ports that the tires average from
1000 to 5000 miles in the COW
punching" service. which seems to
be a pretty stiff test for rubber
horseshoes."

New Garden Tractor
Being introduced by
Harrisburg Auto Co.

The Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany are introducing to the farmers
of Central Pennsylvania something
new and novel in the tractor line. 1t
is the Beeman Garden Tractor, for
use as a cultivator for truck gar
deners
1t is farm tractor efficiency boiled
down to meet the requirements of
truck gardeners. 1t is a garden trac-
tor and walking engine. 1t starts
a new era in truck gardenin. All
the hand-cultivating, the one-horst
cultivating and all the small power
work about the house and farm can
now be done easier. faster, better
and cheaper by this little tractor.
AS a garden tractor, it is fully as
efficient as it's big brother on the
farm. 1t will cultivate any crop now
cultivated by hand-wheel or one
horse cultivator. In cultivating on
ions. carrots, beets and all other
vegetables grown in narrow rows it
goes astride; in cultivating corn, po-
tatoes, peas, beans, etc, it goes be-
tween the rows.
The Beeman can be, operated by
boy or irl. All there is to do is to
start it and steer it. All the garden
hoes, weeders, cultAivators, teeth.
knives. discs. etc, now used on the
hand -cultivator can be attached to
the tool frame on the rear ok the
machine. All these attachments can
be adjusted to operate between any
width of rows.
This machine is as easy to oper-
ate as the hand machine and will
work over any kind of ground, no
matter how rough or marshy. 1t is
controlled by hand, with the opera
tor walking behind the same as with
the ordinary cultivator. In efficien-
cy it far outdistances the old hand
methods.
The Harrisburg Auto Co. have this
machine on display at their show
rooms at Fourth and Kelker streets.

SIDING RATES
AT'NDUSTRIES
National Traffic League Tells
Members About Plan;
What 1t Means

Philadelphia, March 9.-New rates
have been announced by the National
Traffic League. Members in this
vicinity have received notice that the
Director General of railroads pro-
poses making SO charge for every
car placed on an industrial SIDING,
also an additional charge of 81 for
spotting the car, making a total
charge of SO.
1t is estimated that this will in
crease the carriers revenue by sub
out disturbing the present freight
rate structure.
The National Industrial Traffic
League, it was announced, advises
all members who are opposed to this
action to file protest at once with G.
A. Prouty, in charge of public SER
vice and accounts on the director
generals staff.
What Plans Mean
The plan of the railroad admins
tration is substantially as follows:
First, railroad rates and charges
subject to published rules and prac-
tices to apply on freight traffic be-
tween public stations of the carriers
parties to the tariff; second. rail-
road rates and charges subject to
published rules and practices to ap-
ply to and from the gate" on traf-
fic destined to or originating on pri-
vatd sidings or industrial tracks;
third, to cover the terminals and
switching service necessary for the
receipt and delivery of traffic at pri-
vate sidings or industrial tracks a
charge be made as follows:
(a) For placing a loaded car with
inbound freight at the gate" of u
private siding or industrial track or
taking loaded car therefrom, 50
per car. No charge to be made for
empty cars except such as may be
ordered for loading and not used.
(b) For service on the private
track or industrial siding beyond the
gate" in the placing of a car loaded
or empty at a particular point on
such tracks for unloading or loading,
81 per car.
(c) For intraplant switching, i. e.,
movement from one part of the plant
to another for the sole purpose of
the plant, 50 per car.

TECH BOYS JOIN
MILITIA RESERVE
Upper Classmen Desire Mill
tary Training With
State Body

Upon the invitation of Frank Fah-
nestock, a number of the Tech stu
dents are preparing to enter the
branch of the State Militia Reserves,
which is open to any one between the
ages of is and 45. This minimum
age will include a number of the
upper classmen who desire to get
the military training and prepare
themselves for service at home with
out leaving the state. Last year
many of the Maroon students ex-
pressed their desire for military
training. and most of these will avail
themselves of the opportunity of
joining the Reserves.
Mr.. Fahnestock visited Tech yes
terday morning and addressed the
student body stating that the in
struction would come from veter-
ans who had seen service in the
Spanish-American war, and who had
had the actual training themselves.
When the list of candidates has been
prepared Mr.. Fahnestock will again
oppSiI DSlOE0 lIle anu
answer further questions.
Students and the faculty have pur-
chased a handsome flag which stands
upon the platform. "Old Glory" will
be saluted every time the student
body assemblies. With the entire
student body at attention, the flag
pledge is sung. The flag was dedi-
Gated yesterday morning with appro-
PIRATE patriotic exercises. The dedi-
catory address was delivered by
Fred Essig of the senior class. He
told his fellow students for what it
stands, and what they owe to it.
William Watson sang "Our Coun-
try's Flag" Barton Bolts played sew
eral patriotic piano solos, following
the unfurling of the flag. Section
leaders report that practically ev-
cry student in the school has con-
tributed to the purchase of the flag.
The March issue of the Tech Tat
Ter, dedicated to the junior class. will

Changes Follow Breaking
Up of Reading Train Crews

Reading, March 9.-The breaking
up of some of the passenger crews
on the Reading Railway through the
curtailment of train service. has re-
suited in numerous changes. Some
of the runs abolished were supposed
to have been fixtures and it may be
a long time before an attempt will
be made to restore them. The old
est men in the service have been
given the preference in making up
the crews, and it will take some time
to complete the changes because of
the necessity of advertising the runs.
A few of the engineers who ran pas
senger trains are likely to go back
to the freight service. while others
will be assigned to other duties. The
same rule will apply to the train
hands

PENNSY KEYMEN
UNFUJRL FLAG
Local Officials Attend Patri-
otis Event at Broad Street
Station, Philadelphia


Philadelphia division officials and
a number of employees from the local
Pennsy telegraph officers attended a
flag raising to-day in Philadelphia.
A large service flag was unfurled in
"P. o." telegraph office, Broad Street
station, Philadelphia.
The principal speaker was j. c..
johnson, superintendent of tele-
graph, who referred to the occasion
as one that should prove reminder
that there is still duties to perform
in order to win the war. He said in
part:
"Prussianism became so intoler-
able that Germany stands convicted
before the high tribunal of. the
worlds public opinion of having
planned and willed war, of the, in
fanny of the Lusitania murders, \the
revolving deeds committed in Bel
GUM, and Northern France, of in
Vulnerable violations of the Hague
conventions and the law of nations,
shameless abuses of their hospitality,
of crime heaped upon crime in
hideous defiance of the laws of God
and man.
Down With German Sympathizers
This flag is placed before us that
we may come to full realization of
the awfulness of what we are going
through. We must stand together
and if we know of men who are in
sympathy with Germany, attention
should be called to it and they
should be taken from our midst. Be-
ware of the man who tries to con-
vince you that you should pay him
to look after your welfare. Remem-
ber he is making his living by his
talk, and down deep in his heart he
has no personal thought of his well
fare, and all that he wants is your
money. Think of yourself and fam
lily first"
]. l.. Osmond, chief operator also
made an address, calling attention
to the patriotism of railroad men,
and to the many sacrifices that will
be necessary before the war is won
by America.

CHANDLER SIX
IN RECORD RUN
Over Some of the Worst
Roads in the Country Re-
markable Time Is Made

over $50 miles of the worst roads
N this country-the stretch between
salt Lake City and Ely, Nevada,
and return, a Chandler Six made
the trip fn 13 hours SO minutes in
the recent United States motor cou-
rier relay race from Washington to
San Francisco.
The Chandler Six was driven by
Frank Navin, of Salt Lake City, and
vas a veteran car that had already
raveled $4,000 miles. The journey
lay over the great American desert
and through the mud flats of Fish
Springs. In places the regular roads
we're impossible and the car had to
AXE to the brushland alongside. In
)ther places and for miles in
stretch the roads were so badly rut-
ted and cut by travel that it seemed
folly to try to negotiate them at
more than five or ten miles an hour.
But the Chandler was out to make
record trip and to get through with
he messages that were being car
ried.
The average speed of the car for
The $50 miles of round trip was AZ
miles per hour.
According to the rules of the re-
ay trip, drivers were allowed to
have follow-up car, a machine
running behind to be used in case
Of breakdown or other trouble.
But Navin decided to make the
rip without the second car. He was
confident that the old Chandler Six
would get through all right. And
L did. with wonderful perform
ance to it's credit
Nayin was accompanied by II. E.
Mcpherson, of the Salt Lake City
d-Republican, who acted as
official Government representative.
Both men have been made life
members of the National Highways
commission in recognition of their
pluck and speed.
This one Chandler Six is no ex-
2eption to the rule with Chandler
ears. They are all built for endur-
lnce. Andrew Redmond is the local
1ealer for the Chandler car.
