The Mayor todnv ordered the Cit.v
Hall Hag at half-staff In honor of
Henry F. Wnlton. nrothonotnry of the
Common Pleas and Municipal CourU
nnd for thrco terms speaker of the State
House of llerircssntntlvos. who died nt
0:30 o'clock Inst night nt Medlco-Chl-rtirglcal
Hospital. He was sixty-two
yea is old.
A statement, eulogizing the life of
Mr. Wnlton, was nlso issued today by
the Mayor, who said :
"Mr. Wnlton was not only a devoted
husbnnd nnd father and a splendid citi
zen type, but ho was In all ewntials
a humanitarian ; he loved his fellow
men. "Ills services to tho poor and unfor
tunate of this state may not be gener
ally known nnd understood, but for two
enrs he was nt the head of the Medico
Chlrurgieal Hospital and closely allied
himself to the work of helping those
who nrc not generally nblc to belli them
brlves because of their physical inlirnii-
ties.
"As the head of tho state Institution
fcr the treatment of the criminal insane
nt Fairvlow, he probably accomplished
hio uest work ot ins career, though it
was n work of sclf-socriticc. Ho gave
personal attention to this institution
nnd visited It regularly, coming in con
tact with tho Inmates and helping them
in every way to better nud happlor
lives.
"Thcro in the midst of them, commit
ted, by the courts ns irresponsible!),
though they had been charged with every
crime on Hie calendar, from murder
down, ho rendered n distinct service to
tho stntc. for such men nt largo would
I be n menace to tho lives nnd happiness
I of nil.
".My pcrsonnl association with Mr.
Walton dated back to the beginning of
his political career. Ho made friends
everywhere. Ho hnd them in Washing
ton, tho nation's capital, and at Ilnr
rlsburg, wlicro he was thrice speaker
of tho House of Representatives. The
basis of his success was n big and .gen
erous heart, nn unflagging Industry and
a full nppreclntlon of tho value nnd
sanctity of home life."
Mr. Wnlton was stricken with acute
neuritis Inst Friday while spending a
few days with friends In n bungalow nt
Harvey Cedars, N. ,T. Ho wns brought
to the city by ambulance nnd was re
ported to be rapidly Improving until
yesterday afternoon. Suddenly his con
dition took a turn for tho worse and
he died n few hours later.
Mr. Wnlton wns n brother of the late
Captain John M. Walton, for mnny
years city controller, who died within
the last year. Mr. Walton is survived
by hU widow, four daughters and three
sons. His entire family was nt nis ueu-
side last nigbt.
In 1882 Mr. Wnlton was married to
Miss Klla G. Norman, who with his
Bons and daughters, survives.
Mr. Walton's homo, Sunnyside, nt
Torrcsdalc, wns for years the scene of
Rocial gatherings in which United States
senators, governors, members of tho Su
preme Court nnd other men prominent
In public nffalrs were entertained.

NOTE BOOK
By Lee Pape
Thcro are meny new inventions now
ndnjs that ixeplo used to mlsa without
knowing they wns missing. This l
one of the lucky things nbnut living In
tho 20th Century insted of the 1st or
2d. Another lucky thing about living
now !ntcd of former) is that you uio
still alive.
One of the most important Inventions
is the telcfonu. wleh ringH eny hour ol
the dny or nlte so you can tawk to
somebody that ma be you never even
saw and maybe you wouldent even wunt
to see. You cnu nlso tnwk to your
fiAH.L iut tic. nncv Wrn pmlindv In the
olden days had a long pccr.c of wire
they Jest iim1 it to ux tilings i-rrounu
the house insted of waiting time think
ing nbout trying to tawk threw it, wile
now nil you hnff to do to tawk threw
the telefono wire Is ji-st c.ill up and if
you get tlio rite numoer vou Know
ixnctly who vour tnwi.ing to, nnd if
you git the rong number ou dont.
Another important Invention is th
olccktlc lite, wlch saves us the trub
ble nnd ixpense of tcrning on the gas
eveiy time we wunt a lite and nlso
lnnkc the mntrhes InM longer. Kvcr
since the invention of tho clecktrlc lite
all iiu hnff to do to make n dirk room
dlsiippecr Is jeet push a button.
Another Important invention is the
rnmcra, wich tnkes jour plel turn and
shows you ixnrtlv how joii looked that
mlnnlt no matter how mutch you chang"
later. Thus wen you arc nil grown up
jou cnti look at n picUtuie of how jou
used to look wen you was a bnby and
realize how mutch you have impiovcd.
2 other important inventions are the
locomotive, wich does nil the wcrk in
n trnne of ears, nnd the fonogrnff, wlch
gives us the privllldgfi of tcrning off Ilia
music wcticvtr we don't feel like hcer-

Public Safety
P. R. T. Meri and Management are making every effort to
decrease accidents.
P. R. T. now has but c e accident to each 50,000 passengers
carried, as against one accident to each 19,000 carried ten years
ago.
$7,500,000 has been, saved since 1910 by this reduction in
accidents. There are now less than half as many lawsuits pend
ing in the courts against P. R. T. as there were ten years ago.
The increase in the number of automobiles is an added dan
ger to children playing in the streets.
Miss Safety-first has done heroic work in reducing the num
ber of accidents to children.
But Philadelphia needs more playgrounds and playstreets
to cut down the terrible toll of accidents to children.
