Nobody can persuade me to part with it. And I challenge anybody to convince me that a 98-cent razor is cheaper than a $3.50 one. No, gentlemen, the $3.50 razor is cheaper by far. It costs more, keeps a keen ct6e gives me a good shave every day and lasts a lifetime. So wih the Chalmers car.

It costs a little more perhaps $200 or $300 more than some other cars. And what a difference that $300 makes The Chalmers keeps going day in, day out; year after year. It always looks the part. About all you need do is look after the gas, oil, water and grease cups, And Chalmers gives five-year life. The average Chalmers owner keeps his car at least five years before he sells it secondhand or trades it in.

Quite a difference between the 340t r. p. m. Chalmers and many other cars in that one respect. Aside from all this the performance of the 1917 Chalmers will make you catch our breath.

BLANKET OF WHITE WEST YORK NUISANCE Dust From Sandusky Cement Plant And Palmer Lime Kilns Covers Vegetation as Far East as Richland Ave. For some- time past West York borough has been covered. with a blanket of white, which grows more noticeable every day that passes without rain. Leaves of trees and plants appear to be overgrown with a wMW fungus, which before examination gives rise to the idea htat the vegetation Is infected with some sort of dlsea Upon closer inspection, however, it Is found that the white covering Is a very fine dust tnat is easily shaken rrcm the leaves.

This dust comes from the Sandusky cement plant and the Palmer lime kilns west of the borough, which constantly send out great clouds of white dust. Hotrsewlves in the borough all ani tamer have been compelled to work r-r time In order to keep their homes as free dust as Is their want and not a few of them complain bitterly of the nu'nance. The dust is noticeable on tht trees, shrubbery, grays and expoaed earth surfaces as far east as Richland avenue, in the extreme western end of the borough this nuisance haa pre. vailed for a number of years, but never before has it spread over so great an area. This is accounted for by the fact that the two plants an working whh greater intensity than usual and because the prevailing wind? have been toward the populated sec.

Market St. xxi-lm officials that he had drawn up the plan because he thought Jt fair and because he believed a way must be found for averting a strike. He urged them to demonstrate spirit of concession, and to assist him in settling the eontro veisy.

Tonight the railroad officials held another Ions; conference at their hotel. Employes' representatives held two meetings during the day, one of several hours for speechmaking and balloting on the president's plan, and the other, a short one, for announcement of the result of the rote. Will Not Hurry Decision Some of the presidents expressed the conviction tonight that the negotia tions with the White House wbuld noi be concluded In a few days, and that each point Involved would be thoroughly considered by the executive heads of the roads before any definite position taken. While the presidents have kept In touch with the situation as it developed here, It was said tonight their attention had been largely perfunctory and they did not have firt hand comprehensive Information On the status of the negotiations until they reached Washington and talked with the managers. Aa one railroad head pointed out to-night, the questions in issue involve the operation of 250,000 miles of railroad, one-fourth that of the entire world, and their solution may have a far-reaching effect on laboring conditions throughout the United States.

Witn 400,000 railroad men assured of au eight-hour basic working day, some of the presidents feel it would be a ques. tion of only a short time until laboring men in some of the great industrial concerns of the country would be making demands for an eigth.hour day also. Echoes of this feeling are expected to reach the White House an this view is spread throughout the country. The presidents realise that Vr it comes to a matter of break with the White House, some of the executives may be Inclined to subordinate their convictions to President Wilson's wishes and it has been planned to have votes taken on each proposal made by him with the understanding that a majority vote shall bind all. Railroad men present at today's conference and White House offlclars declared tonight that the president hx-X not talked of government ownership of railroads as a possibility in the future in case there Is a strike.

Railroads' Stand Outlined A person In position to be familiar the attitude of the executives outlined the positions of the railroads tonight as follows: "Tho position of fhe railroads at this time la that they are standing out for the great principle of arbitration and that they cannot surrender this principle under the threat of a strike cr under pressure from any other quarter." There never was a time during the day that the president's proposal could not have been rushed through the employes' meeting by a big majority. Brotherhood leaders were In no hurry to have a vote taken, for several reasons. They wanted the railroad presidents to meet with the president before submitting their answer, they were de-slrloihi that the brotherhood men who had speeches to deliver have the fullest opportunity to talk and besides they did not want to be put in the position of grasping eagerly at a plan which was not exactly the one they had demanded of the railroads, though It was highly satisfactory to most of them. Opposition to the- plan, which waa scattered, always was good natured and most of those who objected discussed effects on their. Immediate localities rather than probable general results.

A few contended that acceptance of the president's plans falling as it would to provide a punitive overtime measure, would arm th railroads with the argument that the primary purpose of proposed strike was to obtain a higher wage instead of establishing the shorter day, as the men contend. Rousing cheers, however, greeted th final approval of the plan. Even greater secrecy surrounded thu movement of the employes today than yesterday when It seemed that they had taken every possible precaution to safeguard their deliberations. The brotherhood meeting adjourned after hearing the result of the'vot until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It is believed tonight that the meeting tomorrow will be called and adjourned quickly.

The men say they have nothing further to discuss unless the railroads make a counter proposal, but their leaders have advised them to remain in Washington a day or two to be ready to meet any emergency. TROOPS IN FINE SHAPE Waslngton. Aug. 18. Major General TRsker H.

Aug. 18.

Some features of the treaty for purchase of the Danish West Indies have met opposition which may so prolong discussion in the senate as to prevent ratification at this session of congress. Secretary Lansing was questioned by the foreign relations committee today about business concessions in the islands granted by Denmark and guaranteed by the United States under the treaty, and after adjournment of the meeting it was said the committee had not finished its investigation of that subject. The secretary will appear again within a few day. Some men- lers also want further information about the purchase price of 825,000,000 which they believe is too high. Several senators reported to their colleagues in today's meeting that considerable opposition was brewing in the senate, and said they doubted whether the treaty could be brought to a vote unless the fewion is prolonged.

Will Not Recognize Renunciation of Rights Washington, Aug. 18. On the theory tlmt an American citizen cannot renounce his treaty rights except by renouncing his citizenship, the Washington government will not recognUe the decree published yesterday in Mexico City making renunciation of treaty rights the basis of future commercial concessions. There was no indication at the state department today, however, that a formal protest would be made against the decree unless a case in point should arise. Officials said the attitude of ths United States always had been similar to that of other powers on the question; that only a change In citisenship relieved a government from the necessity of supporting the claims of its citizens resident foreign countries.

The chief immediate interest of the department is the decrees possible applications to enterprises now existing in Mexico and assurances have been reeVived that these are not affected.
