New Paper Launched
For Returned Soldiers

The former editorial council of the
stars and Stripes, official newspaper
of the American Expeditionary Forces,
which suspended publication in June
with the disbanding OF the y. L. F.,
has returned to America and will con-
duct a new weekly magazine for the
discharged soldier and sailor to be
known as The Home Sector. The
council includes six former soldiers
five privates and a sergeant-who
went to France in 1917 and were de-
tailed to work on the y. +. +. news

he folded up and laid away, never
to be taken out again" Its name was
dedicated to the y. L. f. and Allied
cause. To commercialize 4 title thus
consecrated would have been, in the
opinion of the editors, equivalent TO
dragging the flag in the dust.
The Home Sector will aim to be
independent. outspoken and construc-
tive, say the editors. 1T will have
lively interest in the welfare of the
discharged service man, in what his
NV tl Ilu4tllN, MS CletNts anu MS ~" ~
are doing for him, in what he is doing
for his town, his State, his Govern
ment and himself-in all plans and
movements in which the soldier and
sailor, turned civilian, is intimately
concerned. 1t will assume that the
four and a half million former SER
vice men in America are neither high
brow nor lowbrow. that they, as the
heirs of the Republic, are the men
upon whom the responsibilities of
national and world citizenship are
descending. 1t will impress upon the
former service man the fact that, not
because he was soldier but because
he is a citizen. the destinies of the
greater America must inevitably rest
upon him"

ONE AUTO FOR
EVERY 20 PEOPLE
NPENNSYLVANIA
Big Gain in Motor Cars Made
in Pennsylvania in Five
Years

Pennsylvania has one automobile
for every twenty persons, figuring
the population as approximately g.
100000. men, women and children.
This is the estimate made to-day
from figures furnished by the State
Highway Department, which shows
there are four times as many pneu-
matic-tired automobiles in the State
August l as there was August /.
1914. There are six times as many
solid-tired motor vehicles now than
five years ago. In 1914 there was
but one automobile for every sew
enty people.
The statement shows also that
SO dealers in second hand automo-
biles have registered since Governor
Sproul signed law compelling
such registration, while attidavits
have been filed by 1923 persons rel
ative to the purchase of second-han
vehicles. These figures do not by
any means represent the number of
second hand dealers in PENNSYLVANIA
nor the number of secondhand au-
tomobiles which have changed
concerning registration. 1t is esti-
mated by the automobile division
that there are 1000 second hand
dealers in this state. The registra-
tons are increasing, however.
The total receipts from all sources
on August 1, for the last six years
are proof conclusive of the great
increase in the use of automotive We
hicles in this State. The receipts
August l. 1914. from all sources
were S1,11S,716.50. on August l,
1919. the figure was S4.59S,S50.
Figures prepared by the automo-
bile division for August l. the last
six years. shows the following:

Charles of Austria Hungary, was
begged by Magyar patriots to mount
the Hungarian throne when the fall
of the Peidll ministry was determin-
ed upon, according to a dispatch to

At a meeting of the Civic Asso.

lots on principal streets, not only

their working force over to them.

interest flags and the weeds con-

were kept up like Mrs. loves
what pretty town we would

cannot even see the beauty in a
