immediately followed by a cyclone of:
Questions. A Unionist member asked

This question is now up to the State '
Public Service Commissioners and it is;

[shortly. In the opinion of one official;
lof the Harrisburg Gas Company less j
{than two months will elapse after per-,
j mission is granted until the connecting!
links in the pipe lines will be laid.

' almost enough gas is now going to,

I be furnished to the consumer at re

NEW YORK OBSERVES |
THIRD ANNIVERSARY
OF BIG FACTORY FIRE!

New York. March 25.—A city-wide (
demonstration, extending from Brook- j

commemorates not a triumph but a ;
disaster, was held to-day on the vrl- j
ennlal anniversary of .the great Trl
j angle waist factory tire, in which 14?
I lives were lost. The ringing of pongs |
| In hundreds of factories brought forth i
orderly streams of employes until the j
streets in some districts took on a holi
day aspect. This colossal tire drill, j
which included most of the factories j
and a great many of the schools In
i the city, was planned by Fire Commis- \
sloner Robert Adainson, working in I
conjunction with several safety organ- i
izatlons. In a truer sense, it was not a |
commemoration of the Triangle fire, j
but a celebration of the progress In j
! Are prevention since that time.
Fast Time Recorded
Commissioner Adamson, who invited ]
I Mayor Mitchel to review some of the
| larger lire drills with him, visited a
I large tobacco factory in Brooklyn
j which employs 3,500 workers, r Here j
I the drill ran oft with machine-like i
I perfection, two and one-half minutes
j sufficing to bring out the total number j
i of employes with the safes locked and j
| the roll called.
"I hope," said Commissioner Adam- |

I token that New York thinks she has .
i solved the problem of fire prevention,

Increase in Expenditures For 1913
Is Responsible For Directors'
Action
By Associated Press
( Philadelphia, March 25.—The direc-
I tors of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and St. Louis Railway Company,
| the Pennsylvania lines west of Pltts
| burgh, to-day reduced the dividend i n
the common stock from five per cent,
j a year to thre per cent, and on the j
i preferred stock from live per cent, to j
I four.
j In connection with the announce- j
ment President Rea, of the Pennsylva
| ilia Railroad, made the following
statements
] "The directors of the Pittsburgh,
j Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Rail
. way 'Company, at their meeting to
| day, considered and approved the an
| nual report for 1913, the results of
| which have already appeared in the
! annual report of the Pennsylvania
! Railroad Company. This report
'showed an increase of $4,600,000 In!
operating and maintenance expenses, !
which includes the extraordinary out- |
I lays for replacements and repairing I
I tracks, bridges and other facilities de- j
stroyed or damaged by the serious '
! floods of March, 1913, so that, after |
j fiaying its fixed charges and appropri- |
atlons to sinking and other reserve I
I funds, there remained only $630,064 i
|as applicable for dividends. The com
■ pany, however, paid its regular Ave

and common stock, aggregating ?3,- j

; had to utilize In large part its surplus !
| Income from previous years. i
Best to Reduce Dividend
! In view of the decline in the grass
; and net revenues of the company In
1 the latter part of 1913 and so far In
I the present year, and as there are still
, large expenditures to be made In the
I current year for the flood damage of
11913, the directors deemed it prudent
'to reduce the dividend and therefore
declared one per cent, on the prefer
red and three-fourths of one per cent |
on the common stock for this first'
quarter of the fiscal year, or at the
rate of four per cent, per annum for
the preferred and three per cent, for
the common, as against live per cent
declared on each class of stock In re

GIRLS HELP BOYS
IN RESCUE WORK
Backet Brigade Had Blaze
Under Control Before Ar
rival of Firemen
Pupils of the Lomoyne Higli School
were heroes tills morning when a fire
occurred beneath the primary room,
getting the little boys and girle out by
pulling them through the windows.
Fire drills followed by pupils in other
rooms enabled every boy and girl to
escape without injury.
A girl going to the basement at
11:80 first noticed flames above the
furnace. Running to Miss Esther.
Smith, her teacher, she told of the
lire In the basement. Mlsa Smith
called Prof. W. C. Bowman, the prin
cipal and he called the boys and girls
from the High School, instructing
them to work in groups,
j In the meantime the primary room
j over which the fire started was filled
| with smoke. One group of boys went
wun smoke, one group or boys went
Into the room, tore open the windows
and lifted the younger pupils through
to the boys and girls on the outside,
who pulled the children to the ground
In safety.
Prof. Bowman lost no time in
sounding a fire drill and the pupils
marched out when the signal was
given, not knowing what was wrong
until they reached the street.
An alarm was sent in and the
members of the Lemoyne Fire Com
pany responded promptly, but the
high school boys formed a bucket bri
gade and when the firemen arrived
the flames Were under control.
The fire started from an overheated
pipe directly over the furnace In the
basement. The (tames had gained con
siderable headway when discovered.
The joists were badly burned and the
floor of the primary room was burneq
through In spots.

The Easier Way
Is the
Cooperative Way
There is no royal road to busi
ness success—but some ways are
easier than others.
Co-operative advertising be
tween merchants and manufac
turers In the newspapers that .
directly reach Ihe buying public
is the modern "Easier nay."
When the tnanufacturer of n
nationally distributed article
puts his plna for business In the
newspapers of this town ho Is
making customers for your
storp as well as for himself, Mr.
Dealer.
The more business he can send
to the store, the better off he is.
Conversely, every time the
merchant treats a prospective
customer pleasantly, shows the
advertised article, and explains
its merits, he Is helping the
manufacturer as well as himself.
It's a fair game of push and
pull.
