STATE PURCHASES
ADDITIONAL LAND
Gets Tracts Valued at $4,000
From Franklin County
Man

Chambersburg, Sept. 20.-Addi-
tional tracts Of land valued at up
wards of $4,000 have been sold to
the State by w. L. Forney, of this
place, through Real Estate Agent
H. B. McNulty, of town. This Is the
closing chapter of the real estate
deal between Mr.. Forney and the
State which will involve the trans
fer of approximately $4,000 in real
estate and properties.
Soon after the details of the sale
of property adjacent to the Sanato-
rum had been settled, it was learned
by the state that Mr.. Forney owned
land on the skirts of the reserva-
ton. Negotiations were at once
opened with him towards the pur-
chase of the land. Mr.. McNulty,
after a conference with State Health
Commissioner Martin, went to the
site in question, with a state ap-
praiser, and closed the deal whereby
the state secures twenty-nine acres
of ground at $50 per acre. This deal
disposes of all of Mr.. Forney's hold
ings in the vicinity with the ex-
ception of about seven acres near
the borough of Mont Alto. The tract
of land transferred by the last deal
is planted in peach and apple trees
and will yield heavily within a few
years.

MAKING BEES EFFICIENT

One of the odd discoveries of the
war was that bees, from a humble
point of view. wasted time. and a
practical result of the discovery was
the induction of bees into more
businesslike ways of honey-making
that vastly increased the production
of honey. No bee expert perhaps.
could change the habit of a single
bee. but by studying the architecture
of the hive and the behavior of its
inmates. it was found possible to
make a hive in which the care of
the infant bee would develop upon
fewer nurses" and release a con-
siderable number of nurses for work
in the actual production of honey.
By eliminating bees of an OBJ
servably lower standard of efficiency
than others the total efficiency of the
hive was increased. In hive which
under pre-war conditions, contain
ed some 10000 bees, about evenly
divided into nurses" and honey
makers, the United States Govern
ment experts found a way to set
the majority to honey making. And
such was the increased efficiency of
the bees that they provided, during
the war. not only for a greatly iu-
creased home consumption of honey,
but for fifteen times as much as
had been previously exported. =

WALLS OF NINEVEH
STILL TRACEABLE

London.-Mosul the modern Nine
veh, is picturesque but not alto
gether attractive city. The houses
are built of irregular blocks of stone,
white stucco, made by burning laid
, in thick mortar. They are usually
covered with the local gypsum rock.
The roofs, of the same material as
the walls, are usually fiat, with a
waist-high parapet, but are not in
frequently domed. Doorways are
often made of slabs of easily carv-
ed gypsum.
Opposite Mosul, across the river
are the last vestiges of Nineveh,
capital of the second of the world S
great empires. In places, great walls
of the ancient city, built of tremen-
dous masses of sundried brick laid
on high broad wall Of cut stone,
are still traceab1e. The city was
further protected by a moat into
which the waters of a small river
could be conducted. 1t was hewn
to a depth of twenty feet and a
width of fifty yards and, like the
walls. is in evidence to-day.
Two mighty mounds, situated a
mile to the east of the river and
somewhat more than that distance
apart. contain the principal ruins.
Inc more northerly is called Kuyun-
1ik, the shambles, because here a
party of Yezidis, fleeing from Kur-
dish persecution to take refuge in
the city, were overtaken and slaugh-
tered. In this mound are the ruins
of Sennacherib's palace, built about
700 B. c. The southern mound
covers the ruins of Esarhaddon's
palace. Because it is the site of a
village in which is the reputed tomb
of the prophet Jonah it has been

LAWS REGARDING
USE OF LICENSE
IN OTHER STATES
Various State Laws Regarding
Time Allowed Use of Plates
From Another State

Inquiries have been coming into
the Automobile Department of the
Telegraph recently regarding the
use of Pennsylvania Automobile Ii
censes in other states when the own
er of a car Is visiting that state, and
| also the use of licenses of other
states in this State. The present
motor laws of Pennsylvania State
the use of licenses of other states
when the owner is visiting Pennsyl-
vania is reciprocal, that is, that
Pennsylvania permits the use Of an
other State license only SO long as
that State permits the use of a
Pennsylvania license in the State
in question. For instance, New Jer-
sey permits the use of a license from
another state only fifteen days.
Therefore a New Jersey owner can
use his license here for only fifteen
days. If he stays longer he must
take out Pennsylvania license. In
New. York, whose laws are recipro-
cal the same as Pennsylvania, the
owner of car from this State can
use his Pennsylvania license there
for year, providing he is visiting
in New York. The same holds good
for New York license in this State.
If resident of New York takes I'D
his residence here, he must take out
Pennsylvania license. Following

Republic Establishes
Most Enviable Record

Three years and four months
ago the Myers Motor Co., Inc,
Lynchburg, Va, sold to the voegele
q Dining Co.. Inc, of that city,
Republic Model F, three-quarter
ton Job. This truck has been used
continuously ever since over the
hills and rough cobblestones of
Lynchburg, considered the toughest
or any city in America, with prac-
tlcally no repair cost until about
sixty days ago, when Mr.. Robertson,
manager of the concern, asked the
Myers Motor Co. what they would
allow him on his truck in exchange
for new Republic.
AS the job looked very rough"
said Mr.. Myers, body worn out, no
tires, no steering gear and other
parts missing, it appeared to be
worth very little, so 1 suggested he
run 1t into the shop and have IL
hSed up, which he did at q cost of
S3O6. Mr.. Robertson recently told
me that the truck was working as
well or better than it did three years
and four months ago, and posi-
lively refused to consider less than
$1,000 for 1T. He expects three or
-FOUR years of service out of it, after
which he will have it overhauled.
We figure 1T cost him s249 less than
nothing.
When the manager approached
me for a truck, he suggested that
we get him a set of much heavier
springs, stating that when his truck
| negotiated Ninth street hill, the
steepest grade in the city, that the
tenders sagged. He admitted, how
ever, that then weighed, they found
the truck had been pulling 1900
pounds of glucose up the hill. He
| dldn't need new springs, but a
driver who would put on one load
instead of four.
