'|SERVE,' CREST

Twentieth Century Motor Might
Well Use Famous "Ich Diem"
For Slogan, Says Writer.

When Prince Edward. who later be-
came King Edward III. WAS created
the first Prince OF Wales In 1901, he
could find no more inspiring motto
for his crest than Ich Diem. which is
translated into modern English as II
serve" says a writer In Motor for
June. The fact that his later career
showed little real service to anybody
except q couple OF worthless cour-
tiers. does not detract from the fine
sentiment that led the youthful prince
to dedicate his life to the service of
the people.
During the long ages Of individ-
uaIism. service was a grievously mis-
understood function of life, and as a
result progress was extremely slow.
When mankind began to understand
the benefits Of cooperative effort,
service lost its stigma and there be-
gan to seep into the intelligence OF
man tho realization that in service Is
found the finest expression of hu-
man development
1t remained for the twentieth CEN
fury to bring to final Towering this
ultimate conception OF service and for
the American automobile industry to
produce the finest example of con-
sistent service that we have.
In tho ultimate analysis the au-
tomobile industry IL founded on
service. without service. the manu-
facturer of motor vehicles could not
keep his clientele for a single year.
The manufacturer sells his customer,
not a vehicle, but transportation. He
must see that his client continues to
get transportation, throughout the
reasonable life of the vehicle. The
company which loses interest in q
car. the moment II has been sold, Is
destined to a brief life and ono fllled
with protests and grief.
II the total sum expended by the
automobile industry to insure prompt
and effective service to car owners
could be placed before the public. the
result would be a gasp OF aStonish-
ment.
As usually. happens In cases OF
this sort, the word service has suf-
fered some hard usage. Enthusiast
tic statesmen implore prospective buy
ers to permit them ito serve them"

PENNSYLVANIA
NOW PLANNING
FOR WIDE ROADS
General Assembly Enaots Leg
lslation Giving Highway De-
partment Broader Powers.

At the instance Of the highway de-
partment of its State. the Pennsyl-
vania general assembly has enacted
legislation giving the department
power to increase the width Of i'm
portant thoroushfares where 1t is
deemed necessary.
For two years the department has
been studying traffic conditions on
highways leading TO important mu.
inequalities in Pennsylvania and II
width of many, although little, II
any. actual work of this kind will
be done Immediately. Width will be
established. however. in much the
same way that municipalities estab.
lish building lines along undeveloped
streets.
Tho Pennsylvania department hopes
by this procedure to save the enor-
nous expenditure which necessarily
will be entailed In widening arterial
roadways after improvements have
been completed. The department is
looking ahead fifteen or twenty
years and expects ultimately to widen
a number OF the arterial thorough.
fares to the 100 foot widths which
the legislature has authorized.
Eventually II will be necessary Ia
build thoroughfares skirting the larg
er municipalities and wide enough 70
accommodate several streams OF
traffic going in each direction.
Within few years II will be un.
wise. II is declared. to send heavy
trans-Pennsylvania traffic into Phila.
delphia and Pittsburgh, inasmuch as
additional traffic will add TO the
congestion OF the downtown districts.
consequently wide roads must be pro-
vided around the cities so traffic may
be accommodated.

Labor Too High.
During the past two years there
has been a large amount OF money
available for road building. but labor
has been higher than ever before and
bodybuilding materials have been at

THAN PRINCETON
Beats Nassau, 2 Goals to /, in
Opening Hockey Game for
the Maroon.

Fordham's intercollegiate hockey sea-
son--except practice game with Co
lumbia-began last night in the small
lS1st street rink, with Princeton the
opponent and the victim. Fordham won,
2 goals to /, in a game of three fifteen
minute periods and of six men to a side.
Between posts and cramped quarters
twelve players were all that could op-
crate comfortably.
There was more speed in the Ford
ham team and better use of sticks, and
there were penalties in abundance on
both teams. The Jerseymen were not
particularly pleased with the work of
the referees.
The fastest and slipperiest lad on ska
was Mcpherson of Fordham, wiry and
slim. Both of Fordham's goals were
made in the second period After q.
Noonan had shot one in from a scrin-
mage In front of the cage Mcpherson
shared the puck off the boards. traced q
snuous and swift route with It to
Princeton's end and scored with a long
lift from the side.
Princeton poured shots for the net in
a lively rally before the period was over,
but Fordham assailed the net, the game
as a whole considered, four times to
Nassau's one and quite clearly outplayed
the Jerseymen. Maxwells good goal
tending and the fact that Fordham often
failed to back up a man shooting at the
cage kept the winners score down.
The Tigers did their best work in the
third period, the toughest of the three.
They were the more aggressive In that
stretch and attacked with surprising
vigor. Lincoln scored for them near the
end Of the game with fairly long shot

rectly in front of the cage Wonham OF

BASEBALL RUMORS
RIFE IN CHICAGO
Owners Gather on Eve of I'M
portant Meetings Of Major
and Minor Leagues.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.--Numerous confer
ences between baseball club owners and
managers who are gathering here for
the three meetings next week, when the
major and minor leagues will attempt
to reach an agreement under which both
will operate. to-day kept the air filled
with rumors concerning action which
might be taken when the sessions open,
but the only official action was the
opening of the major league schedule
committee meeting.
While no official announcement con-
cerning the work of this committee was
made. it was said that the two leagues
virtually had agreed to open their play
ing seasons on Wednesday, April 13,
and to play the usual season OF 154
games. The committee consisting Of
President Ban Johnson of the American
League; William Harridge, his secre-
tary: President John Heydler of the
National League and Barney Dreyfuss
of the Pittsburg club, did not expect to
finish its work before Monday.
Most of the owners who reached here
to-day were representatives OF minor
leagues, the major league club owners
not being expected before tomorrow or
Monday, as their meetings will not begin
until Tuesday The minors meet Monday,
the majors will hold separate meetings
and Wednesday, and represent
atives of all leagues In organized base
ball will hold a joint meeting to act on
plans for the government of baseball
which have been decided on by the diff
ferent organizations in the Monday and
sessions.

tional Association Of Minor Leagues.
said tonight that he would demand that
action be taken against baseball players

Chicago White Sox who were indicted
by the Cook country Grand Jury for

games in the 1919 world series. He said /:
Most of the minor league club own
ers here to-day represented the faction
led by George ,Maines of the Michigan
Ontario League, which has opposed
many of the preliminary suggestions for
an agreement between the majors and
the minors.
"Mr. Names tonight reiterated pre-
vious statements that he did not think
the minors would stand for an agree
ment which placed them under the SUI
pervision of the baseball commissioner
unless they were assured that no COM
missioner not meeting with their ap-
proval could be chosen. They were not
opposed to Judge lands. it was said
President johnson of the American
League tonight said that there would
be no difficulty over the reported op-
position of some minor leagues to the
draft, so far as the majors We're con-
cerned.
