to use a homely phrase. Some of the

The other evening a flock of several

The birds seem to be in large num-

the oats harvest immensely.

Prof. Arthur E. Brown. head

is keen on getting a flying start for
the Academy this fall. Mr.. Brown
had in idea that the new buildings
would not be all needed because of
the war time. He soon changed his
mind and now he is trying to get
his boys sorted into forms. The new
buildings are the best advertisement
the Academy ever had.

Senator Edward e. Beidleman. the
Dauphin county candidate for lieu

some marksman until he ran up
against Adjutant General Frank D.
Beary. They were at a country home
recently and shooting at marks. The
Senator shot some chips floating on
the river and banged a block hung
to tree by a swing. He was quite
successful and grew very chesty. The
General had watched the Senator and
his friends for time and then went
up and shot away the string that
held the block.

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

From all accounts D. w. Griffith's
new spectacle ''Intolerance" which
has been booked to appear at the Up
era House tonight is the most unus-
ual theatrical entertainment ever
produced in this or any other coun-
try. The piece has proved the sea-
sons biggest hit in New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and other large CT
ties. Noted dramatic critics and
famous celebrities from everywhere
have praised it, and crowded houses
have distinguished it's every engage
ment. Like Mr.. Griffith's former
offering ''The Birth of Nation, the
presentation of Intolerance" is ac-
companied by large orchestra with
the added novelty of chorus of
voices.

NAMES Of Motor Car
>Colors Reflect the
War Spirit

The popular automobile colors of
1918 smack of the fighting cover
there" They have such military names
as battle red, khaki brown, rookie tan,
periscope gray, Pershing gray torpedo
boat gray, hospital red, infantry blue,
artillery red and Mist o. Marine blue
Then there are such odd hues as Mil
lori green, permanent purple, lavender
chrome yellow and cherry red While
not SO brilliant, ivory white and straw
are very striking, especially when the
wire wheels are finished in battle red
or Millori green. Another very rich
combination is maroon with old gold
stripping.
Navy gray is new color that is both
attractive and practical, being one of
those soft shades that please the eye,
wear we'll and do not show the dust
and dirt of travel. The National COM
pany ia finishing all the touring cars

F oresees Auto Prices
Double in Two Year,

Orders in excess Of production re-
cclved by the REQ Motor Car Company
the last few days are reported by
James }. Hunt, manager for the REQ in
New York. Mr.. Hunt says: "Our deal
ers are not only taking cars as fast as
they are built, but they have exhausted
the stock which accumulated during
the winter months, when weather con-
dltlons lnterfered with transportation.
And there is some indication of fur
ther curtailment of production in or
der that more government work NAV be
completed in the REQ factory.
In one week recently the number of
orders received was almost four times
as great as the number of cars built.
Practically all the orders were placed
too, with the understanding that the
cars would be driven overland to their
destinations to relieve railroad traffic.
Il feel sure that if the war lasts
two years, and it probably will. that
those cars selling to-day in the neigh
borhood of $500 or 5000 will sell for
Sl,ooo at the factory, and the other
cars cars VIII sell in the same proportion.
There has never been greater need
tor automobile transportation than
EXISTS at the present time, for the auto
IS the only vehicle available to afford
practical relief for the railway freipht +
congestion. We cannot extend our rail
way systems fast enough to take care
OF the traffic, and we will soon find that
motor trucks will have to be handled
IN more efficient manner to ret tho
maximum relief"

That the war has brought homo to

sity for economy is clear from the fact
that there has been such a tremendous
demand made upon motor car manu-
facturers this year for the type Of
car known as the touring sedan.
Where IN former years most people
used touring cars IN the spring and
sumner months, Ad some type OF
closed car in th.. fall and winter
months. this exceptionally clever and
desirable type of body has made it pos
sible for all to use one car for all
kinds of weather.

Upton Trucks Veterans
Of Mexican Fuss

At Camp Upton almost the first
thing that attracts ones attention is
mud -spattered army motor truck
whizzing over the rough roads Then
out of side street comes another
truck, then another and finally an
other. All are bound in different di-
rcctions' and all seem to be in a great
hurry.
If a soldier happens to be with you
he will say: "There gothic veterans. !"
You will look at the husky drivers and
think they are being referred to until
the soldier continues: "The fleet of
thirty-three Peerless trucks down here
is two years old, and saw service on
the Mexican border before being
shipped to this point. They arrived
when this place was wilderness and
have been brutes for work ever since. "
Lieutenant l.. A. Mitchell, who com
mands the 326th Motor Truck Com
pany, composed of seventy-six expert
drivers and these Peerless trucks, is
an old racing driver
The trucks not only hauled the lum-
Der that went into the many build
ings at Camp Upton, but were busy
all last winter with the thermometer
sometimes registering 25 degrees be-
low zero, hauling provisions and
stores and making themselves gen
orally useful keeping things moving.
Before the motordrome was completed
they stood in the open without pro
lection i'll all kinds of weather for

With all the .lard usage these trucks
have received, they keep doing their

special attention, the latter said:

A Back Road Trip on Long island

The crowded condition of the Mer-
rick Road and the Jericho Turnpike
on any fine Sunday or holiday during
the summer months has caused many
motorists to search for roads which
are not so well-known to the general
motoring public. With this idea in
mind, the touring bureau of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, at SOL
Fifth Avenue, has laid out tour
which avoids nearly all the main
travelled highways and at the same
time provides an excellent road sur
face all the way.
Leaving Manhattan via the Queens
son Avenue to Flushing and then along
broadway through the attractive su-
burban developments of Bayside,
Douglaston, Little Neck and Manhas-
set to Roslyn. This part Of the tour
necessarily follows one of the main
routes running east through Long
Island, known as the North Hemp
stead Turnpike. The balance of tho
trip, however, is over roads that are
totally unknown to many motorists,
even those who are fairly familiar with
that section of Long Island
After passing the clock-tower in Ros-
= - civ SOhAihS W llIC cIu vi Clc TOdu
shortly beyond that point, turn square
to the left Less than quarter of a
mile further on is a watering trough
at the junction of two main roads.
Here keep to the left and run almost
due north along the shore of Hemp
stead Harbor to Sea Cliff, passing en-
route the North Shore Country Club.
Just beyond hotel on the left make
turn to the right on Sea Cliff Ave-
nue., and follow along this street to
Glen Cove Avenue. Here turn left
and follow winding road into the
center Of Glen Cove
Keep straight ahead on Forest Ave
nue.. curVing right ON an excellent
road surface, to Locust Valley. The
Nassau Country Club is about half a
mile south of this road and the Piping
Rock Club is easily reached by turn
ing right at Locust Valley and run
ming south for about two miles, After
passing the postoffice, keep on for
nearly mile to cafe and turn
left on the Bayville Road to Bayvillc
This little town has an excellent bath
ing beach and in addition is the Long
Island terminus Of the ferry leading
to Greenwich, Conn.
Turn right at Bayville across a long
bridge over an arm of Oyster Bay
avoiding the road straight ahead which
leads to Rocky Point and the Corin-
THAN Yacht Club Then follow the
West Shore Drive with fine views OF
Oyster Bay straight into the town of
the same name. Oyster Bay shines
mainly by reflected glory, because
