Philsdclphla and IMttsb .rg Health Of? ficers Vaccinating nil Negroes From thp South. Negroes going to Pennsylvania from the South are being quarantined and vaccinated by officers of the health department, as it Is claimed that they are a menace to the health of the communities Into which they go. The following articles from Philadelphia newspapers df recent date throw aome light on manner in which the negro immigrants from the South are handled by the health officials: S,500 VACCINATED AGAINST SMALLPOX. Police Quarantine Block from 15th ami Catherine Streets Following Outbreak of Disease. Another smallpox quarantine was es? tablished this morning in S. 15th street, by direction of Dr. A. A. Cairns, ohief medical director of the De? partment of Health. The authorities made the move as a precautionary measure, when it was learned that several persons who were in the restricted zone yesterday had mingled freely with those living in to? day's barred zone. e The new affected district is the ter? ritory bound by the north side of Kater street to the north side of Cath? erine street, from the west side of 15th street to the east side of Broad street. The section is thickly popu? lated, mostly by negroes, and the physicians vaccinated more than 3, 600 persons before the ropes were re? moved and the quarantine lifted. Other streets within the zone are Rosewood, Kenllworth and Pember ton, small intersecting thoroughfares, and a number of courts and alleys. Fifty physicians were detailed to begin the work of vaccinating the res? idents at 4.HO o'clock this morning and It was 9.30 before the last vaccina? tion had been made. No new cases have been discovered to add to the total of eleven persons removed to the Philadelphia Hospital from 702 S. 15th street on Wednesday night. A series of amusing incidents serv? ed to keep the quarantined persons in good humor throughout the tour of i the physicians. At one time the neighborhood took on the aspect of a huge outdoor minstrel show. When yesterday's quarantine was on the persons living across the street stood on the curbing and joshed the unfortunates. Darts pt repartee shot to and fro and the quarantined mis? erables vowed venegeance. It came to them today. j For this morning the quarantined of yesterday were free to go and come as they pleased, but the joshers of yesterday were withm this Vestrict ed sone. There are only two saloons within, today's affected district, and they dial a land-office business, an lata*, in I fact, that at one time the police had, to interfere when persons on the out? side looking In, made a concerted at? tack on the garrison. TO VACCINATE EVERY NEGRO WHO ENTE&S THte Bttate. Pittsburgh, May 25.?Owing to the prevalence of smallpox in this city and because every case so far report? ed has been traced to negroes import? ed into the State, Dr. J. F. Edwards/ Director of the Department of Public1 Health, is planning with the State Board of Health to examine and vac? cinate every negro who enters the State. There are six cases of small-; pox in the Municipal Hospital hers, and seven cases in one family In Shenango township, near Sharon. Dr. Edwards said today that the sit? uation in western Pennsylvania is an? alogous to that of 1902 and 1903, when many negroes were imported into this section by railroads. The first victims of the malady invariably come from these railroad camps, ac? cording to Dr. Edwards. . I t?te *or c?kmssioN. cleSuio. dr?nS* CmpmI Rut Satisfactory Trade.

Ntfsae / r A Car Whose Quality Lifts It the Level of Its Price fttnce the early days of the automobile Industry people have been accus? tomed to class car* by price. Rightly or wrongly, they have mainly clung to the belief that cars of near ly equal cost closely compared In quality, too. It is as true today as ever. Save in one case. And this is the ex? ception that proves the rule. Though priced at less than $1,000 Saxon "Six" has forced?actually compelled?people to think of it In the terms of costly cars. Such a situation is unprecedented. No other car we know of has ever ac? complished this feat Can you think of any car In any other price class whose superiority Is as distinct and pronounced as that of Saxon "Six" among cars costing less than $1.200? The answer of course ie In the motor ?the famous Saxon "Six" high speed motor. Its performance today Is piobably as nearly perfect as has ever been at? tained. In high-gear work, In pulling power, In smoothness. In flexibility, Saxon "Six" gives a performance that seems Incredible in a car from tho less-than-$l,200 class. If you search for specific reasons for this superiority of Saxon "Six" you can find them most quickly through comparison with other cars of like price. Consider if you will a certain car of "less-than-six-cylinders" of similar price and good reputation. At a speed of twenty miles per hour this "less-than-six" under test de? veloped 1512.73 power impulses per minute. Suxon "Six" showed 2993.926 impulses per minute. Or, under the same working conditions the Saxon "Six" motor showed nearly 98 per cent, greater continu? ity?greater smoothness?greater uniformity of torque. Saxon It is quickly apparent that the "less than-slx" motor leaves much to be desired. For the less the number of impulses per minute the less smooth is the power-flow and the greater is the vibration. And vibration induces friction which Is, as of course you know, the fierc? est foe a motor car has to face Now you will see just how much ad? vantage accrues from the 98 per cent smoother power-flow of Sax? on "Six." This well-known car of less-than-six cylinders previously mentioned, in repeated trials required 30 seconds to reach a 45 miles per hour speed from a stock-still stand. 44 Six A Big Touring Car for Five People CAROLINA SAXON HOLMES SIMONS, Treas. & Gen. Mgr. 1218 Hampton Avenue Phone 647 Under the same conditions Saxon "Six" time and again duplicated this feat tn 23 seconds. This shows 22 per cent faster pick-up tn favor of Saxon "Six." A hill-climb test illustrates what this smoother power-flow means tn de? veloping greater pulling power. This #1esB-than-sIx"?shifting gears once?climbed a mile-long hill In 2 minutes flat. Saxon "Six"?without shifting gears ?did it in 1 minute and 2 seconds These instances are not cited as ex? traordinary performances of Saxon "Six." Nor are you to view them as such. For they are hot Rather are they representative of the type of performance Saxon "Six" gives. Any they picture, with fairness we be? lieve, the Inherent superiority of Saxon "Six" over any other at less than $1,200. Saxon ?'Slx" ft $866; "Six" Sedan, $1, 260; "Four" Roadster, $495; f. o. b.
