Ta., Dec 13. The poor of Butler County were enriched to the extent of $1600 ns tho result of action taken by the County Commissioners. Dr. K. It.

Smith died before the result ot the election became known nnd the County Commissioners notified the stakeholder and administrator of tho estate that suit would be brought to collect the amount of the wager unless the money was turned over to tho poor. The administrator turned over the money. The commissioners based their action on the nntl-bettlng law, which provides that authorities may collect wagers and use them for the poor, along with an equal sum as a penalty for Infraction of the law.

THRONGING SHOPPERS PRESAGE CHRISTMAS Casli Registers Note Purchases of Thousands Making Ready for Holiday STORES DOUBLE FORCES KirltmlT of today there will be nine shopping ilnys before ChrWtma. The constant click of cash registers nnd a never-ending stream of buyers nro the two big fnctorn which augur the best kind of n merry Christmas for Philadelphia stores. This city 'Is tho magnet which Is drawing shoppers from sovernl Slates. Cash-laden men and women are arriving hero by the tralntond. nnd In addition to their record breaking purchases, thousands and thou sands of orders nro pouring In by mall from nil parts of the United Stales, Canada and South America. The force of employes at all the big stores have been almost doubled to tako care of tho unprecedented rush of business. As It Increases with the approach of Christmas no one can predict just, what tho golden record will be. J In nddltlon to their nig squadrons of delivery wagons, many of tho stores hnvo been obliged to hire hundreds of extra vehlclea to speed tho Kris Krlugln loads to homes nnd railroad stations. Mnny Inde pendent expressmen havo been engulfed by tho demand, much to their advantage, nnd are helping In every way possible to get the tons of purchases to their destinations. Fortunately many shoppers realize that business has exceeded all expectations, nnd In order to expedite matters are carry ing small bundles nnd packages homo them selves. The railroads, steamboat lines nnd subur ban trolley roads report that traffic Iibb been of the record-breaking order for the Inst few weeks and they are preparing to handle still larger crowds until Christmas day. While the high cost of living Is still one of tho chief topic of discussion throughout the entire country. It does not appear to cause nny hesltnucy among tho Christmas shoppers who arc quick)' buying tho best of everything In sight. As one salesman expressed It, "most of tho peoplo ask for what they want nnd are so enger to obtain It that the price Is an after consideration." It wan learned today thnt residents of many of tho nearby towns formed shopping parties nnd came to this city In delegations of twenty nr thirty. After making their purchases they dined nt tho central hotels and attended tho theatro in tho evening. As nil the members of thoso On-To-Phlln-delphla, tours had n definite Idea of what they wanted to buy, the work of purchas ing was greatly simplified. The plan of putting n soclnl lingo nn tho nrduoua work of shopping mad the tnsk socm more like n holiday, nnd the buslncasllko method of purchasing nlso eased tho burdens of the salesmen nnd clerks In tho stores.

I NEUTERS, NEW SEX, NOT VERY WELC0M Once Women, Now Absorbed by Work to Sex Exclusion Is Definition SCOFFS AT GENDER t'hystclan Snya" Additional Ono Is Not Wanted Business Mnn Una Jobs for Several Uy M'LISS The neuters are oomtnir. What Is a neuter? Well, ns far as can be gleaned from the definitions of theorists who predict neuters, the are n. third sex which once were women, but which, havlnir become loo Interested In their typewriters or their rchbloEles. have ceased lo be women and failed lo become men. t'r. llerttm Van Ilooten, n renowned western physician, declares the neuters are due lo arrive at almost any time. Indeed, it you scrutinise her or Its temperament with sufficient Inslithl, the Individual who slls nett to you In your office may be n neuter. How can you tell? I'ropoie to her. Tell her that you love her madly that Is to say It you are wIIIIiir to take a chance, because, after all, she may not be a neuter and, contrary to plans, may accept you on the spot, thus provlnu conclusively that she's WOMAN and not neuter. Ynu take the chance. Yott tell her how she thrills you: how the blue of her eyes nnd the pink of her cheeks beats nny blue or pink you have ever seen. You tell her that her plane Is In the home; that her pretty llttlo hand was mado to rock the cradle and not hit tho keys of a type writer. You tell her how you hate to seo any woman work outside the home. At this she freezes. At tho mention nt cradle her eyes kindle with a faint, faint recollection. You see. sho wasn't always neuter. "CradleT" she repeats vamiety. "I seem to remember that's what a baby sleeps In. llablea! I hate babies!" Yes, she's a neuter. Work Is responsible. N'euters always work. Their frenzied In terest In careers causes the emotions, wnlrli In the normal woman create the desire to marry and rear children, to atrophy. Those qualities which make us different from men and by tho same token make men lovo us, havo dried up and blown away In neuters, "Tho new Individual," says Doctor Vnn 1 loosen, "will hnvo more time to cultivate her or Its brain than will tho woman who Klvea up part of her lime to child bearing. Sho will he less emotional. Ho mance and sex affection will not Influence her." Doctor Van I loosen liken lo call this third sex "the neuters." W. K Ocomc, the Inte resting KtiRllah exponent of feminism ante dated her by describing tho samo type months ago. Ho called these quandam women "Intellectuals." Necessity, accord ing to his viewpoint, will bo responsible for tholr evolution. In Itglnnd thero are not enough men to go nround. A proportion of th vomurt, sine polygamy Is nol In vogue, musi put rtlt thoughts of men from them. They turn to work for solace. They become like th "worker bees, wxtess. At least this Is the way Oeonre "dope It out " According to Dr. Kannle Vnn Oasken. professor nt tho Woman's Medical College nnd a, physician who knows women Inside and out the home with the thorough knowl edge of n doctor Mid n .woman, the neuter Is In no danger of making her appearance. "I cannot fancy a manless Eden," sho raid, "and I think work la healthy for every woman. Of course, the less one dwells on sex Ideas the less one la conscious of them, and- the woman who Is earning her living nlong a line thnt does not Include rex emo tions become less emotional, lest sus ceptible to man's advances nnd tn marriage than the wtiman who constantly ha the stfx Idea before her. "Hut love la the fundamental emotion, We do not want to exterminate It. We do no! want neuteis. What we want Is more efficiency tn loving." ' A man who employs n large corps of stenographers Is Waiting expectantly for the neuters. When they arrive he rows that Ids present coteries ot .white-nosed, frlzzy-halred fair ones will walk out sum marily. "I'm for Ihe neuters," he declared en thusiastically. "They can't romo soon enough. Of course, I wouldn't want lo marry one. but a neuter enn hnve n. Job In my office any day. Think of having n sec retary who thought nothing of men. who wns guaranteed not tn get married In six months or sixteen years, llrlng on tho neuters."
