DWELLING AND 2
BARNS BURN IN
CUMBERLAND co.
Flames on Farm of Walter
Kocher Spread to NJ. F.
Bells Property

Fire this morning destroyed the
large dwelling house, the barn and
all other outbuildings on the farm
of Walter Kocher, near Shiremans-
town. Some crops and practically all
farm machinery were burned. 1t is
believed the loss will be more than
$1,000.
Some household goods were saved,
but the greater portion were con-
sumed by the flames. The failure to
secure satisfactory fire fighting ap-
paratus prevented the saving of any
of the buildings. All of the livestock
was saved.
The flames are believed to have
originated in wash house where a
hot fire was burning in an open fire
place. A barn on the farm of NJ. F..
Bell, nearby, was ignited by the fly
ing sparks and was entirely con-
sumed. An estimate on this loss was
not available this afternoon

LYNCH DECLARES
SUPERVISORS ARE
BURDEN TO CITY
With Paved Streets There Is
Nothing For Office
holders to Do

Commissioner W. II. Lynch pre-
sented a resolution in Council o-day
which directs City Solicitor John +.
Fox TO prepare the necessary legis-
lation which when passed by the
State Legislature will abolish the
positions of street supervisors as
created in an act approved about
eight years ago.
For years the city has been pay
ing hundreds of dollars annually to
two highway supervisors who were
elected to comply with this act, and
Commissioner Lynch said that to
settle any dispute he prefers to have
the Legislature repeal the clause
creating the positions. Council unani-
mously approved the resolution and
Solicitor Fox said he will begin the
preparation of the legislation at once.
The present street inspectors are
Charles W. KautZ and Charles A.
Tress.
Because of the paving of practi-
cally every important street in the
city there is no longer any need for
street supervisors, as the highway
department has charge of all re-
pair and improvement work in the
city. Taxpayers for some time have
been advocating the abolition of the
office.
An ordinance was passed on first
reading authorizing the paving of
Turner street, from Seneca to
Schuylkill streets. A similar ordi-
nance which provided for both paw
ing and curbing will be tabled as
the abutting property owners petit
toned to have the small street paw
ed from houseline to houseline with
out any curbing.
Commissioner S. +. Hassler intro
duced an ordinance authorizing the
purchase of four police boxes and
two combination fire and police
alarm pedestals. Because no money
has been set aside for light standards
in South Second street, action on the
ordinance authorizing this improve
ment, has been postponed indefinite
ly.
Upon motion of Commissioner G.

William d. Block was reappointed
to serve from April Z.

Because of the frequent arrests

Keister said he will ask City Solicitor
John e. Fox to determine whether
an ordinance can be passed by
council giving him jurisdiction to
dispose of defendants held on this
charge. According to the Mayor. in
other localities city ordinances au-
thorize magistrates to impose a fine
or Jail sentence when defendants
are arrested and charged with this

WINTER MILDEST OF

Weather Bureau Statistics Show Much Sunshine and Little
Snow, but Old Records Still Stand

There was more sunshine and less
snow throughout most of the United
States during the winter just passed
than ever before in the memory of
the present generation. In only one
section of the country-the plateau
region-was the weather severe, and
there low temperature records were
established. Snow falling in Novem-

throughout the winter.

FROM WAR TO PEACE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Automobile Trade Did More Than
Its Bit to Help Win War.
Fleet Of American Trucks Coming In
to Use for Additional Transporta-
tIon Facilities Needs Services
Of Released Soldiers.

AS a single industry the automobile
trade did more than It's bit to help win
the war. Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications in quantity
and quality of delivery, but they built
better than 1t was thought they knew
how. Proof of this was given the 9TH
err day when. at an auction of old army
ears in France. the French and the
English bid higher prices for the cars
than they cost the American govern
ment new. An army of men was en-
ployed to run these trucks and cars
ON the firing line. They gained more
experience in month of that sort of
work than they could have gained in
lifetime of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service, and are returning in large
numbers to civilian life. There Is no
lack of work for them to do For the
fleet of American trucks now coming
into use for additional transportation
facilities all over the country needs just
such men--men who have learned how
to act in any emergency, who feel al
most Immediately the idiosyncrasies of
every motor, who have acquired an eff
cheney under shell fire that will make
them leaders in their work in peace
times.
Col. Arthur Woods. assistant to the
secretary OF war, who Is in charge OF
the unemployment work for ex-service
men, announces that a number of such
men, are now available for private EN-
ploy. The automobile industry will
not lose this opportunity of obtaining
men who, to their pre-war ability, have
added the exceptional training and eS.
perlence of months on the firing line,
These men will be in demand, and can
be obtained through governmental and
welfare employment agencies, who will
put them in touch with employers who
need their services.

OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED
Familiar Before You Could Say Jack
Robinson" Does Not Convey
@the Right Idea.

Opinion differs as to the proper du-
ration of social call. Anywhere
from ten minutes to half hour" says
the woman who has a social secretary
and whose daily job is calling" to the
tune of tea and waters. "All after
noon," says the bourgeoisie, who takes
along her knitting and sits down to
coffee and cake. "And then" say
some, "it all depends upon the call.
On some occasions and with different
people we stay longer than others"
But Jack Robinson's calls never
varied. He never stayed long enough
to wear out his welcome. In fact hard
ly had he been announced, hardly had
the servant who admitted him spoken
aloud his name than he was gone.
SO, as you see, before you can say
Jack Robinson" has no reference so
the time it takes to say it. 'As long
as you can see Jack Robinson" would
be more in order with its origin and
significance.

CONTRARY 10 the general supposition,
1t is more dangerous to be in advance
OF, than behind, the procession In the
matter Of introducing improvements
in motor car" said f. Fl. Akers,
sales manager OF an eastern motor
car concern.
II am reminded of this by the fact
that just at this time all manufactur-
ers are either eQulpping motor trucks
with pneumatic tires or making 1t
optional with the buyer.
after the most exhaustive compar-
alive tests with several trucks of the
same model, some equipped with
pneumatics and others with solid tires,
our engineers found that from every
standpoint the pneumatic-tlred truck
was infinitely superior.
"First--It was more efficient for the
reason that 1t would travel at nearly
twice the speed and thereby make
twice as many trips in given time.
Upkeep Cost Less.
"Second-The upkeep cost was al
most unbelIevably less, due to the
fact that not only did we obtain more
mileage on set of pneumatics than
on solids, but that the air cushion eff
fects wonderful saving on the
chassis.
"Not only that. but after 1000 or
5000 miles the resiliency in the rub
Der has been exhausted or, as the mo-
torlsts say, the rubber tires (not a
pun, but meaning fatigue) and ac-
quires more the consistency of wood
than of gutta percha.
also our engineers found that the
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-10-03

fuel consumption was less for the we'll
known reason that any pneumatic-tired
vehicle requires less power.
Another factor that was much in
favor of the pneumatics was the alb
sence of injury to loads of fragile ma
terials. Perishable goods suffer less
In pneumatic-tired truck than they
do In solld-tired vehicle, even though
fhe latter go at half the speed.
Lighting was another problem.
"First we had kerosene lamps and
then came the carbide tank.
with some reason there was OBJ
lection to this on the ground that it
was dangerous.
"A lot of people had to be convinced
that If the car got into smashup the
gas tank would not explode.
ut sounds ridiculous at this late
date, but 1t is fact, that although
every motorist wanted to get away
from the drudgery and the danger OF
cranking his car there was a tremen-
dous opposition to every form of self
starter.
1--WE expected and were prepared for
battle when we decided that the
right thing for light, high-speed
truck was pneumatic tires, but we have
always believed 1t was our duty to give
the buyer the best our experience die
tated and so we went through with it.
Everyone now admits the pneu-
-
1t is the solution of most of the truck.

for our missionary work"
