When Lewis succeeded Snyder ns Auditor General, one of his first nets was to clean out n number of employes who were considered unnecessary. Among these was Urlndel. When Brlndel was dropped by the new Audi tor General, Snyder, who had moved across tho corridor In tho Capitol to the Tiensurer's office, Immediately placed him on the payroll. ' Hrlmlcll Confessed I.nter on, Auditor General I.ewK In the course of an Investigation, discov ered llrlndcl was short In his nceounts. lie was arrested, and, according to ad vices from llnrrlsburg, confessed to embezzling S7000. Snyder, It appears, made nn effort to smother the charges find offered to mako good the short age. He was averse, It Is said, to giv ing any publicity to the case, on the ground that it would result In no good. Tho Brlndel case came to public no tice because, In tho opinion of Treas urer Snyder. Auditor General Lewis, nn "Inexperienced ofBei.il. insisted on making n mountain out of n molehill." "The Brlndel case?" Snyder queried, when tho question was brought up. "That was nothing. But It appeared big in tho eyes of on Inexperienced of It a1. Some people are always making n mountain out of n molehill." The senotioiial revelations ns to the half-mllllon-dollar defalcations wore made following an Inquiry of tho Stato Treasurer regarding the charge of Joseph K. Grundy nnd his associates, of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association, that "the people of Penn sylvania had been hnnded n gold brick by the last Legislature." They allude to the nlleged deficit between the ap propriations and the estimated revenues for the next two yearn. State Treasurer Snyder, in n formal rcplv recently published, denied that nnvsuch shortage existed, nnd. while admitting that there were $7,000,000 of bilN payable which the State could not meet ou acount of "temporary financial embarrassment," said everything would be nil right In the end. Ho asserted there would be a probable surplus of $2,000,000 for the two years instead of a deficit. 21 Arrested In Gambling Raid Twenty-one men were arrested by the police of the Twelfth and Pino streets station last night In n gambling raid ou a house In Lombard street near Thir teenth.

Bids opened yesterdny showed a drop of 20 per cent from building prices of the spring nnd n fall of nearly 100 per cent from Immediate post-war prices. The lowest bid for the new Hutlcdge School, nt Seventh nnd Isorris streets, was mnde by Wark & Co. S37'J,.TT4. The building will contain thirty-two classrooms and an nsembly hall.

Of course, the buildings should bo so constructed ns to permit of easy additions when the demand warrants Increase In size." John L.

There is no Sherman Law against a monopoly of Good Will. No trademark need fear the Supreme Court be cause it has a far-reaching, interlocking hold on the Good Will of the public. Here is the unassailable monopoly! And as for secret rebates, trade agreements, exclusive territories and the like they simply do not exist; they are so unnecessary for the trade mark owning public Good Will as to be obviously silly. Even with the most splendid product it takes years to win a national monopoly of Good Will in any line. It is easier now, for the world was never so recep tive to new habits and new thoughts.

There is this to say of Buchanan's: When they recom mend any electrical device, it is only after that particular device meets their expert requirement. Therefore, their endorsement of the LAUN-DRY-ETTE Washing Machine (after seven years' test in handling) is proof that It is a most superior machine, nnd the fact that it dries tho clothes ready for tho lino with out the uso of a wringer (which is hard on both clothes and hands) is enough for thoso who contemplate the purchaso of n machine to go there at oncq and eeo tho dally demonstration.
