MISS-JPAT&1CIA . ! vrz. vcm sexvKE.

For the third time In her romantic career abroad, Miss Patricia Burke, daughter of the late John Humphrey Burke, of Los Angeles, is engaged to a nobleman. The society girl, who only last year declared that from what she had seen of titled men she preferred a good American, is today reported betrothed to the Earl of Cottenham. Many noblemen, some with more titles than money, have wooed the pretty and vivacious California girl. At least two were accepted as eligible suitors, among them Juan de Ropez de Ayala, Marquis de Fuesanta, of Seville, the Spanish grandee of Spain, for whom she threw over Prince Ferdinand de Bourbon", a cousin of the king of Spain. Also, report had it, she was at one time engaged to Prince Ludovico Plgnatelli D'Aragon, who later attempted suicide, due to his despair at being unable to wed Miss Katherine Duke, the West Virginia beauty. Her latest fiance, Sir Charles Edward Pepys, is a member of one of the oldest families in England. i

PRICES ADVANCE; TROUBLE AHEAD FOR BOOKWORM

Book-lovers will have to pay from 10 to 25 cents more for current publications. Publishers and retailers already have increased the priceBooks formerly selling from 50 cents to $1 now are rated 10 cents higher. Those in the past priced from $1 to $2 are sold at an increase of 25 cents each. The. publishers claim that there has been an increase in the priee of paper, leather, cloth and ink amounting to from 50 to 10 per cent, during the past twelve mpnths, and it is impossible to produce books at old prices. The' consensus of opinion among them Is that under the present serious conditions a further increase of from 10 to 20 per cent, may be necessary. They say their only hope is in the ending of the European war. It is claimed there is also a shortage of chemicals which must be obtained from Europe for the manufacture of their particular grade of paper. The surplus supply of this class of material is exhausted and the publishers will have to depend upon a new supply. The charge now on new publications which formerly wholesale from 50 cents to $1 is an increase of five cents; books recently selling from $1 to $2, an increase of ten cents. Publishers dealing in school books only will not accept any new contracts for some time to come. They claim that their contracts are of long standing and that they will have all they can do to meet the demand on their output to carry out the old orders.

PILOT ENLARGES PLANT TO DOUBLE CAR OUTPUT

George E. Seidel, president of the Pilot Motor Car company, announced today that before next spring the company's manufacturing plant. North Tenth street, opposite the Pennsylvania passenger station, would be enlarged to permit an output increase of 50 per cent. "Within two or three days I will be in a position to state the company's detailed plans for plant enlargement," Mr Seidel said. "An addition will be built to the present plant which will provide a minimum output of one thousand cars, and a maximum of 1,500 cars a year, doubling the present plant capacity. "If our business continues to increase next year at the rate it has this year, then we will arrange to secure a large plant in some other locality. Where we are now located only" permits the doubling of the size of our plant." The company will close its 1916 business on September 15 and will then begin the manufacture of its 1917 mod-

KIND PERSONS HELP PHTHISIS VICTIM IN FIGHT TO LIVE

Donation of a tent on the part of some person will bring great comfort if given to Township Trustee Edgerton for the tubercular sufferer who is living with his wife and child in a single room tent east of the city. This was made known today by the trustee. Since the article was published in the Palladium Monday describing the true condition of this family, many offers of help have been made. All kinds of good beds and bed clothing have been donated, as have wholesome foods but as yet no person has given a tent. The law limits the amount that the trustee can give and this is why the tent has not been supplied. If the needed tent is secured, the woman can live in it with her three months old child. In this way the danger of the wife and child contracting the disease would be greatly reduced.
