Summer Girls CompelLife Guards to Watch

Hour Longer at SurfAtlantic City.?Summer girls have

refused to abide by the "daylight-saving"' hours for bathing while thesun remains high in the heavens andofficials have surrendered to de-mands that life guards be kept onfor an hour 1 later each day. Mealhours and other summer activitiesof the resort are strictly regulatedby the new time rather than by thesun, and as the life guards are al-lowed to report later in the morn-ings the new plan is giving generalsatisfaction.

During Past Month OverlandCompany Started 2,938

Cars

j Recent drive-aways at the Over-| land plant have broken all previous

j records. During the past month

I 2938 cars were taken across country.

! In spite of the severe cold spell dur-; 'ng part of the month, dealers and

j distributors made unusual demandsupon the factory to anticipate the

j spring rush of business.J Only 100 cars were driven away~, iTinK the same Period in 1917.

These figures do not by any meansrepresent the gross shipment of cars,"

j said John N. Willys, commenting up-on this showing, "but they do in-

| dicate that the far sighted dealersare getting ready for their imme-

j diate requirements, in spite of un-j precedented traffic problems, our

j dealers are doing their Qtmost not| to disappoint their customers as thet liest driving days of the year ap-proach. It is certainly gratifying to

| see the assurance oi these men in all' Parts of the country," said Willys.

| "Those of broadest vision are unani-J mous in predicting a well-sustained

; demand for automobiles throughout! 1018. The enormous demands made

; upon time and energy for food and| munitions with less men to accem-Pllsh these bigger tasks make it onlyreasonable to suppose that there willhe more sound reasons for motor-car demand in this country thanever before."

Many at Capitol. The "plainpeople" of Pennsylvania, as mem-bers of the Church of the Brethrenstyle themselves, have certainlyshown their interest in the State Capi-tol this week as the register of theguides shows. The Brethren havebeen thronging the corridors of thef'apitol and have not missed muchin the way of the attractions of thebuilding. It is one of the pecular-ities of this sect that when there isany gathering in this section, such asthe annual conferences which havebeen held frequently at Paxtang orHershey, that they make a pointof visiting the Capitol. While hav-ing opinions against public officethey are greatly interested in publicbuildings.

The frog season,which starts July 2, will also begoverned by rules. The commis-sioner does not anticipate anytrouble with the new regulationsand says that while there have beennumerous arrests for illegal troutfishing they have been palpable vio-lations and the letter to wardensto be sure that more than 25 legalfish have been taken in a day beforemaking arrests has had a good ef-fect.
