Two minutes after play started Cap

team had been unable to break through
the Spcedboys' line in two attempts,
and he decided TO use the air. Rem,

A mighty roar went up from the
stands. Charlie Weekcs. star tullback,

The 1920 new road construction was
413 miles, only eighty seven miles being

automobile license receipts in 1920, all
of which went toward the maintenance
OF the 10000 miles in the State road

The voters of Pennsylvania in 1913
approved q bond issue in the sum Of
SOO,OOO,0OO. This money will have
been exhausted by the close OF the

Accessibility in the 1922 models ia n
noteworthy feature. To get one part
Of the motor without tearing down half

More optimism than was evidenced in
/ to past was shown at the opening. The
automobile world in general feels that

| in the automobile industry. Many
dealers have prospects on their books
who have been awaiting n readjustment

adjustment has been made in so far as
possible during the last year. and as a
result concerted buying movement is
expected for this year. Reports from
all parts of the county indicate i'm e

buying for replacement must be a factor
