Resolution When Senate
Meets Monday Night
'SUBSTITUTE CAN'T PASS
Votes Lacking to Carry Concur

Has Working Strength
Hu r. Staff Cirrtnoitnt
HARRISni'nCI, IVK II. -The Sproul
resolution to InvectlRate tlovernor Urum
baunh and tho Stnto administration l
dend. It died Intt night, when It became
known definitely that tlovernor HrumhnuKh
" would send lib veto of the tucnsuie I" the
Bennle when tho upper house of the I-ckIs-lHttiro
should reconvene next Monday nltrht.
Tho l'cnrose forces cannot hope for a
majority In either the House or the Senate
If they Introduce, their proposal of n con
current resolution ns an answer to the (!ov
rnor's veto. This has lieon made clear
to them by their own supporters, who havo
told them they cannot support any further
probe measutes that are tint offered In Rood
faith.
The veto of tlocrnor Urumhaugh, which
appears to ho n foregone conclusion, will
make Its appearance In tho Senate late next
Monday nlpht and the entire prober will be
disposed of before tho General Assembly
meets again March 13 after tho re
Inauguration of President Wilson.
Tho 1'cnrose forces know nnd feel that
they have not enough votes to pass the
Sproul prober over tho head of oenir
Brumbaugh, and they are not making any
I plans along that line. They arc banking
nil of their strength, howexer. upon the
fact that they may be able to swing the
opinions of the Legislature In support of
oma prober that Is, whatever prober
Senator Penrose Is In favor of at tho time.
Tho antl-Pcnroso forces, on the other
hand, are pointing to tho voto that was
recorded against the Sproul prober In both
the Senate and the Houso to show that
the proposed concurrent resolution cannot
have any hopes of passing.
The vote In both the Senate and llouso
showed that neither fnctlon of the Re
publican organization In Pennsylvania can
hope to dominate tho situation In the
present Legislature without tho support of
Hhe other faction. The nearest either fac
tion came. In the Speakership fight, to
showing a majority of the Republican votes
In either branch was fifteen votes nnd that
was when the prober came up for Ilnal
passage In the Senate, which has only llfty
members.
The Sproul resolution was signed by
both Speaker Baldwin and Senator Kdwa'rd
K. Ueldlemun, president pro tempore of the
Senate, yesterday nnd was then sent to
the Secretary of the Commonwealth for his
certification before It went to llrumbuugh.
Governor Brumbaugh, according to his
political Intimates, has his veto message
Already prepared, but Is waiting (or the
Senate to meet ng-iln beforo he will offer
It to the Legislature

HOWAHO A. HANKS
DANIELS'S SECRETARY
BECOMES AN EDITOR
Aid to Head of Navy Depart
ment Assumes Post With Hc
liKious Paper Here
Howard Ranks, new nssnclaie editor
of the Sunday Sclmnl Times, who has been
private sccretjir tn Secretary of the Navy
Panlels since Mnrch I. 1013. assumed his
duties today nt the Sunday School Times
licndqn.irteis, 1031 Walnut strret.
"1 made nil Iho arrangements In mine
hero and tails over the mutter with Sec
retary Ii.iiiIcIh last summer before there
was nnv Herman crisis," said Mr II, inks
today, "and ho agieed to my going. I inn
delighted to get back Into Jnuriialloiii, for
I like II so much betler than hciielailal
work Hilt 1 mushier It one of the great
est privileges of my lifo In have worked
with Mr Itanlels. Ho ono of the most
innllgneil and most misunderstood men In
public life today Hut ho Is persecuted
for cilc righteousness4 sake. I think his
tory will lank him ns the most clllclent
Secretary the navy has ever had. I dis
like to leave lilm now, but having accepted
the position here, thero was nothing else
to do."
Mr. Ranks began newr-papcr work many
years ago, directly arier' completing his
education at Davidson Oolleso and the
rnlverslty of North ("arlonla In his native
State at Charlotte, X. ('. Ho began ns
a "cub" on the Charlotto Observer and te
malned there for eleven years. He was
managing editor when ho left. Poring
his wanderings ho wns n rcpotter on the
Philadelphia Recotd for ten years. Then
he went Inck tn his old stamping grounds
and benight the Hickory Democrat at
Hickory. N. ('. Thero his loyalty to tho
Democratic paity and principles was
fruitful. On March 4, 1913, after tho In
auguration of President Wilson nnd ap
pointment of Secretary Daniels, he was
made private secretary to the Secretary
of the Navy, who was one of his old news
paper friends.
And Secretary Daniels Is a friend of
Mr. Ranks's little seven-year-old son Henry,
too. A shoit time befoto tho llanksea
came to Philadelphia, Henry nnd his (he-year-old
brother wero saying their pray
ers at their mother's ktiec. Mis. Ranks
had said the prayer, which tho lads re
pented. When It was over. Henry said.
".Mother I think that Is a very short prayer
you are giving us this evening." Mrs
Ranks suggested that ho then offer a
ptayer for tho President and Secretary
Daniels
Henry, who knew nothing of Interna
tional crises, looked tip with a smile and
said. "Mother. I piaycd for them all dur
ing the campaign and now I have elected
them, I luue dropped them."

You Yourself
Have Observed-
that nothing is so difficult to understand over a
telephone line as a number containing three or
four digits. "Five" sounds like "nine" and "two"
like "three." Arid especially when a number is
rattled olT like this: "sev'three'fo'six," is it diffi
cult to understand the numerals and repeat them
in proper sequence.
I
So with telephone numbers!
if the call is to start right, that
given slowly, one digit at a
"Filbert, seven-thrce-four-six."
Remember, please, that the operator must be
sure of the number and must depend entirely on
you. Tixe& times out of four in a city such as
Philadelphia, which has twenty-eight central
offices, she must trunk the call to another
office, repeating the number to a second
operator. There is little chanceof error
in repeating "Filbert, seven-three-four-six,"
but it's not so easy to interpret and
pass along "Filbertscv'threefo'aix."

COLD STORAGE BILL
'Scason-to-Scaaon' Measure Now

Opposition
i bill extending Ilia time limit for food
In cold storage to twclvo months, which
has been Introduced In tho Legislature nt
Harrlsburg hy .Senator K. K. Jones, of Sub
tiuehnnna rViunty, Is declared by William
H Wilson. Director of Public Safely nnd
author of tho present cold slorago law, to
he "worse than no law at all."
'There isn't anything to Justify this sea
son -to-season period," ho said. "Dealers
do not want u longer time than twelve
months for the storage of food. The new
products come along, nnd those kept In
storage nro obliged tn compete with the
fresh foods Resides, storage rates nro
doubled nt tho end nf tho senson-perlnd
tone
'A for Senator Jones's plea thnl Iho
twelve-month time limit would euahle the
Pennsylvania old-storngn houses to com
pete with those of adjacent Stntes, there Is
nothing In It Slnce'tho present restrictive
law has been In effect the cold-storage
business In Pennsylvania ban materially
Increased."
Prof rimrlen If La Wall, for the State
Dairy and Food Department, declared he
was suspicious of cold-storage bills, "be
cause they arc Introduced lo scive sonie
hcdv'a business ends "
Tho Jones bill eliminates tho section of
tho cold-storage law which niilhnrlze the
Stale Dairy and Vood Commissioner to
permit an extension beyond the twelve
month period for the holding of goods In
stornge
It requires that cold-storage warehouses
be licensed by the Dairy and l-'nnd Depiftt
ment, and that 'department shall make oc
nmlnallons ns to tho sanitary conditions
It also empowers the commissioner tn te
voko n license when he finds proper sani
tary regulations uro not complied with. All
food must be marked, stnmpcd and dated.
No food shall be kept or permlttrd to ic
main In cold stonigo which hti been held
previously In such warehouses, within or
without tho State, for more Ib.vn twelve
months, according to the provision'" of the
bill, which nlso makes It unlawful for any
one to sell or offer for sale anv onld-storago
goods unless they nro mntked "Cold-storage
goods." It also prohibits the returning
to any warehouse of any fond once iclrased
from storage for purposes of offering for

rF course, there are the "near butters"

But Ivins knows only one kind of butter and that
is pure butter. We will not sidestep the Ivins Spe

country butter is used." What we say about gutter
is true of all products we use.
That's another 'reason why you should always
