United Business Office, 203. Room 585. Job Dept. lOS. MONDAY EVENING. JULY 27 ALL HAIL THE OPIIION ! ALL hall the ophlon! It's grand news that comes from the Department of Agri culture. The army worm is doomed. Right In tho midst, of his fiercest ravages on the lawns and plants we love best along comes the ophlon. like General Villa at a Huerta lootfest to Spoil the fun. The ophion. It would appear, Is "lit tle, but O my!" The Department of Agriculture calls him an ichneumon pnractlte and gives his full name as ophlon purgatum. As the army worms increase, so does the ophlon, until finally the ophion gets the better of the ruction, dines sumptuously off the army worm and then starves to death. It has been asked how the army ■worm got its name and expert opinion seems to be because it travels in large numbers and is just about as destruc tive as an army of real soldiers. The at my worm is the larva of a noctuid moth; the common variety in the northern States is leucania unipuneta. It averages an Inch and a half long. It does not circumnavigate, but sur mounts obstacles with straightforward, up and over progression. It climbs ■walls, but had rather climb cornstalks or potato stems, and when Its trail lies over vegetable surfaces it devours as It goes, sparing little but stalks and the veins of leaves. It leaves a lawn looking like an overgrown dirt tennis court. You fight it with sprays; you shunt It off from a threatened area with moats of oil. and then along comes the ophlon and the "stuff is all off" for the army worm. WIPING OUT TRADE BALANCE THE Underwood tariff has cost the United States a loss for the year ending June 30. 1914, of $182,- 416,540. The loss for June alone amounts to $32,812,561. These figures, amazingly large as they are, are authentic. They are not estimates. They can be proved by anybody caring to verify them. The new tariff law has been in operation only since last October, and the woolen schedule did not become effective until January 1. Assuming that the Increase io imports and the decrease in exports during the pres ent fiscal year equal the records for June, the total loss to American in dustry for the year ending June 30, 1915, will be nearly $400,000,000. These statistics were compiled by C. H. Brown, chairman Of the Na tional Hosiery Manufacturers' legisla tive committee in Washington. They were taken from the governmental sta tistics, which will be issued in detailed form about August 10. Mr. Brown shows thnt the total Im ports for June, 1914, were $167,772,- 973 as against $131,245,877. This was an increase of $26,527,096, or 22 per cent. The total exports for June, >1914, ■were $167,119,451 as against $163,- 404,916 In 1913, or a decrease of 4 per cent. The excess of imports over exports for June, 1914, was $658,522. The excess of exports over Imports for June, 1913, was $32,159,039. Total Imports for the year ending June 30, 1914, were $1,894,109,180 as against $1,813,008,234 for 1913, show ing an increase of $81,160,946. Total exports for the year were $2,364,626,555 as against a total of 2,465,884,149 for tho year ending June 30, 1913. This was a decrease of slOl,- 257,594, making the total loss of American industries through Increase in the amount of foreign goods con sumed here and decrease in the amount of domestic goods consumed abroad, $182,418,540. The balance of trade or excess of exports over imports In favor of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1913, was $652,875,915. The balance of trade in favor of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1914, was only $470,457,375. The great bulk of this shrinkage has taken place in six months and an other year of the operation of the Underwood tariff law will wipe out our enormous surplus entirely and turn the balance of trade against us. "It MONDAY EVENING. ' fTARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 27,1914. j must be remembered," says Mr. j Brown, "that the monthly Increases of Imports are becoming larger and 'the monthly decreases of exports are also progressively larger. Consequent ly, we would probably be far too con servative If we were to take the deficit for June aa a criterion for the year to come." And In the face of all this we arc I expected to make a great ado over the prosperity the Underwood tariff has brought us and to enthusiastically en ; dorse President Wilson when he terms it "a great piece of constructive legis lation. The attitude of the Adminis tration and its friends would be laugll j able were it not so pitifully tragic In its effects. FEWER FATALITIES T Is gratifying to note that there has I been a marked decrease in the number of accidents in the an thracite mines of Pennsylvania in recent years, according to the figures Just issued by the coal company. The production of coal, with the possible exceptions of the past few months, lias been constantly increas ing during the past decade and the number of fatalities has been Just as j constantly decreasing. From 1881 to 1889, Inclusive, the | number of tons of coal produced per i fatal accident was 142,287. In the following decade the number of tons ( dropped to 141,915, and from 1900 to i 1909, during which time mine rules, were more strictly enforced and many I safety devices and danger signs were j I introduced, the number increased to 1 153,717. The average for the three years 1910, 1911 and 1912 was 160,591. The figures are from the latest annual report of the Pennsylvania Depart ment of Mines. ' Engineers say that the work of the coal miner becomes more dangerous as the operations grow more exten sive and reach to greater depth, but in spite of this fact the efforts of the operators to promote safety In the mines have succeeded to the extent of holding level the fatalities per thou sand employes. From 1881 to 1889, inclusive, they were 4.45; from 1890 to 1899, inclusive, they were 4.27; from 1900 to 1909, Inclusive, they were 4.2 4; and the average for tho first three years of this decade was 4.22. The operators are proud of this record, but unquestionably they can go a step farther and begin to re duce the fatalities more rapidly. The advance of science makes this possi ble and humanity demands it. WANTING AND NEEDING THE difference in the meaning of the two words "needing" and "wanting" Is well illustrated by the disastrous experience of a young Chicago couple who got into trouble with the Federal authorities because of the husband's efforts to counterfeit ten-dollar gold certificates. From her prison cell, the young bride said to the reporters: I'm here because I thought I couldn't live on $65 a month. I had been used to fine things, and when my husband couldn't give them to me nm afraid 1 showed my NELL* for them. In his love for me he tried to get, them. Now I know better. I would live with my hus band and be happy if we had only $25 amonth. Oh, if 1 only had It to do over again! He did it all to please me. I wanted to wear nice clothes. 1 wanted things too com fortable. What a fool I've been! I'm to blame. This unfortunate young woman used the word "need," whereas she really meant that she WANTED the things that her husband committed a crime to get for her. The baby cries, "I want It, I want it," but the person of maturer judg ment has learned to distinguish be tween genuine needs and mere wants, even amid the many temptations of modern city life where a certain glamor is cast over reckless extrava gance that gives it a fascination for those who can ill afford to follow In the footsteps of the rich, either idle or busy. Consider for a moment the extrava gances of the so-called "middle" and. "upper" classes. Theaters, cafes and amusements of all kinds welcome the dweller in the city with open arms. Luxurious apartments at fabulous rentals house him while he supports or helps to support a retinue of ser vants clad In gold lace. He rides where once he walked —and the mod ern taxicab is a more costly luxury than its horse-drawn predecessor. Modern theater-going is no simple af fair, financially. In the larger cities the public's in sistence upon the services of an agency to which it pays 25 per cent, com missions for providing theater tickets adds greatly to the cost of theater at tendance. Added to this is the "after theater supper," which in many com munities Is considered as one feature of the theater party. Many persons WANT such things, but do they really NEED them? WHEN YOU TAKE IT WHEN you take your vacation this year, take It with a grain of common sense. Remem ber that your employer, in giving you the recreation time allotted, i is to be taken Into consideration. He is letting you get away from the grind and sweat of the office or the shop so that you will return an abler work man, a clearer thinker, than when you went awny. He is making an in . vestment In sunshine and air for his benefit as well as yours, and you should not cheat him if you are foolish enough to cheat yourself. The man who comes homo from his vacation more tired than when he went away had better not have any loafing time next year. So when you take it this summer keep away from the white lights that shine In the health and moral ruining resorts at night and get out into the sunlight that will let you go back to your work with a reddened nose and a liver that makes you feel like a fighting cock. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 Comment by Girard In the Philadel phia Public Ledger about the appro priateness of the names chosen by Pittsburgh people for some of their great hotels, notably the William Penn and Fort Pitt, calls to mind the fact that Harrlsburg's hotels bear more real names than is the rule In a city of the size of Pennsylvania's capital. As Girard says, Americans are prone to go to Europe for the names of their hotels, passing by tho rich store of local significance, historic import or individuality, if you choose to term it such. In the early days Harrisburg indulged in Black Horse, White Hall. Swan, Seven Stars and other fancy names for its taverns and like every other place in the United States had a Washington house, a name still borne I>V one of its smaller Inns. However, 1: early had a State Capitol Hotel and one of the most pretentious hostelrles in this "place of taverns," as a noted French traveler of 1798 called it, bore that title. It stood where the federal building is located and its name has passed on to a newer hotel not far away. The Senate and the Common wealth are appropriate for hotels In a city of the governmental importance of Harrisburg and Bolton would mean as much to the politicians, traveling men and citizens of sixty years ago as does the name Russ to folks of to-day The Lochiel is remembered by the elder men of politics all over Penn sylvania and it has a local connection because it was bestowed in honor of the home of the clan which gave Penn sylvania one of her famous men— Cameron. Dauphin and Harris are easily recognized as distinctive just as the names Paxton and Mount Pleasant arc- significant of a part of Harrisburg. It is not hard to understand the use of the name of a family noted In hotel keeping, but it docs take some stretch of imagination to hitch Columbus, Plaza. National and the like to Har risburg. The two Subway hotels can be located without trouble and their nomenclature understood, but when it comes down to Metropolitan and its ilk it looks as though names were be ing borrowed. Attaches of tho telegraph offices in the. city are commencing to experience the effect of a war scare in Eastern Europe and to have the same troubles with names that they suffered in the Balkan wars. On Saturday several men, apparently Servians, sent tele grams and they kept the clerns busy trying to figure out the names of the consignees and the locations. The men cculd not write legible English and their pronunciations were not trans latable. "We take the sound, that's the best we can do," said one clerk who had been struggling to get down on paper the gutteral sounds of a pair of Slavs. Some of the messages sent yesterday were by Austriaris who ap peared to be very desirous of news about conditions in their home lands. They did not want to go back for war service, either. A lot of thrifty people have been benefited by the storm of Saturday, illustrating again that it is an ill wind that does nqf do someone good. It happens that the high winds, the pelt ing rain and the hail brought down many apples, pears and other fruits which are not exactly ripe but which picking over will show have some taste. Owners of fruit trees have been raking up these windfalls, but in a number of instances people have aeked to be allowed to gather them. One man living in Cumberland county says that several bushels of apples and pears taken from his property by people who wanted to preserve them. Ho was glad to get rid of the fruit and they were happy to get it. Members of the Country Club of Harrisburg were given a shock on Sat urday afternoon when lightning struck an apple tree almost in tho midst of a group of golfers. The crash of thun der following was terrific and bits of bark and apples from the trees were scattered far and wide. Several well known men were within a short dis tance of the tree that was struck. To kill a bird on the wins with a ' rifle Is some shooting and the averag/B man is content to shoot ducks with fowling pieces and other birds with shotguns, but It Is mighty seldom that anyone has ever heard of a bird being hit by a golf ball while the bird was in full flight. This happened at the Lueknow links of the Country Club of Harrisburg on Saturday during a four ball match being played right after the storm. At the time a number of swallows were flying low and darting about twenty feet from the ground. One of the golfers happened to drive a hard line ball and as the ball was about 150 feet on its way it struck a swallow fair, breaking Its neck and wing. The bird dropped as does a duck when shot. Here is the story of a loon. The loon lived in the neighborhood of an island in a stream not far from Du Bois. Two boys saw him in the stream and were told not to shoot at j him. They shot. They did not have licenses to hunt and they got arrested for that and for shooting a bird pro tected by law. Meanwhile the bird was sent to a taxidermist to be mounted. Then it turned out that the taxidermist was not licensed and he Rot arrested. Now the bird is in the office of the State Game Commission, where it will trouble no one except the owls and herons and other stuffed birds which stare from the shelves and form mute evidences of people's arrests. Monday mornings, as a, rule, are a good bit like Friday afternoons in summer time. Business slackens up on Fridays and on Monday there is al ways a dull time. To-day the city was more than ordinarily quiet and it was ascribed by most people to the fact that the heat was great, that many were out of town and that those who were In town were not bothering very much about anything. In some streets which are generally marked by num bers of people leas than half the usual number were observed. Things were slow up to noon. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Harry E.

BRriN MIXES IN IILIM POLITICS Chautauqua Lecturing Tours Give Him Opportunity to Meet ! People, He Says MAKES PREDICTIONS TOO Morris Fusion Plans Causing Trouble in Philadelphia— Palmer Is Anxious .. While William Jennings Bryan's Chautauqua lectures are nonpartisan and really worth going to hear, there is not much doubt but that the per ambulating Secretary of State is keep ing his hand in politics wherever he goes. This was strikingly Illustrated yesterday when at the conclusion of the Bryan touv t'o the Lykens Valley the Democratic State headquarters gave out a 700 word interview with the secretary in which he said kind things about the Democratic State nominees and funny things about Democratic congressmen. Bryan dispelled doubts that his lec turing tours had a political slant when he started off by saying that from his observation and meeting with "many Democrats and other indepen dent citizens" he thought Palmer and McCormick a strong team. In addi tion to this humorous statement the secretary said that he thought- tho Democrats would elect more con gressmen than they have now from Pennsylvania. To the dismay of the McCormick gangsters, who are trying to put over a fusion deal with the Bull Moosers, Bryan gave the Wash ington party a back hander when he said that the fresent leaders of the Progressives had received offices from "predatory interests." Tho Democratic State machine is getting ready to Quit getting even with li>an men and to settle down to a hard fight. Even Mc- Cormick is now said to realize that trying to Ready to wreak vengeance on Drop the p o 111 leal enemies Is Contests only making his task harder and it is prob- able that the committees selected to guillotine the Old tiuardsmen In Phlia aeiphia and to do some ripping in Huntingdon county will be told to torget what they were named to do. Tho Palmer-McCormick leaguers in Philadelphia are now said : be coun selling dropping the fights because of the iack ol interest displayed in the campaign by men who can get out votes. The Philadelphia Record says about some schemes of Morris: "Numerous snags have already developed to the plans of the Demo- cratic State lea de r s Pbiladelphians and tho Washington Objecting to party to bring about Morris' Plan fusion In the Tenth, Seventeenth, Nine teenth, and Twenty first Legislative districts, and consider able doubt is expressed as to the success of the proposition. In several of these sections the candidates named at the primaries are vigorously objecting to the suggestions that they withdraw, while many Democratic workers are likewise opposing fusion with the Bull .Moose men, who are now running a lively race with the Republicans in attacking the Wilson Administration." The present week promises to be a lively one for all the political parties,, despite the fact that the formal open ing of the campaign will not take place for several weeks. The Busy Week De m ocrats will be In Spite of quite busy. Congress- Hot Weather man Palmer and Vance C. McCormick are to make several addresses In the central Bection of the State during the latter part of the week. Chairman Bromley is to appoint the special com mittee of the Democratic city com mittee. The new Palmer nnd McCor mick League is expected to outline Its plans, and the contest committee of the State organization will take a defi nite position in regard to the investi gation of the Philadelphia contests. The Republicans will have conferences of leaders and Lewis and Pinchot will continue their barn storming. Democrats In this section who have been indulging in hopes of fusion In older to help McCormick were some | what amazed yesterday |to learn that Glfford iPln c ho t, whom some Mr. Pinchot I were willing to accept Jolts the ) for senator If the Bull Democracy | Moosers took Candidate McCormick for Gov ernor, had rapped the pet dam bill. This bill has been endorsed by the President and Pinchot declares that the scheme which is behind the bill means a reversal of the conservation policies of Roosevelt and Taft. Pinchot also Jolted Democrats by going into rock-ribbed Lehigh county and mak ing speeches in which he whacked the national administration. John R. Halsey, one of the repre sentative young Republicans of Lu zerne county, was re-elected chairman of the Luzerne county Re publican committee wlth- Ilalsey to out opposition at Wllkes- Lcad In Barre on Saturday and Luzerne will enter at once up'on an energetic campaign. Things are very much in hir, favor owing to the disgruntled con dition of Democratic factions over post offices. The Democracy in Luzerne county has never gotten together since the primary election and It is said that the legislative candidates are running on their own hook, while Congressman Casey never was popular with the bosses. James Evans was re-elected secretary. Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer undertook to straighten out the row in the Democratic party In Huntingdon county on Saturday, his excuse for a visit being the Democratic fest at Palmer in Neelyton. which was Peat-e Hunt attended by a small Saturday crowd. Palmer's speech was one of the most re markable that he has delivered in a long time, as he contended that pros perity is with us and that everything is tine and dandy. His remarks were very much like the average prosperity editorial of the Patriot, painful efforts to fool people. While he was In the rr.unty the congressman talked over the split In the ranks and is said to have erpressnd thn hope that the contest before the State committee be withdrawn. This, however, has not been verified. !

UNEXPECTED PRESCRIPTION Mr. Norton was a very patient man and a long-suffering one. Mrs. Nor ton provided a continuous flow of con versation, and was known as a nag. Finally, the nerves of the, \>oor man gave way, and the physician was called. "He must have complete rest and undisturbed sleep," said the doctor, as he looked thoughtfully at the woman, "I will send up some sleeping pow ders which must be used exactly as written on the box. Will you promise to do this, madam, or must I order him to the hospital?" "Indeed, I promise," cried Mrs. Norton, tearfully, "X wIM give them just as you direct, doctor." When the box came from the drug glsts's, the label read: "Sleeping powders, to be taken night and morning—by Mrs. Norton." —ln National Monthly. THE COMMON SENSE OF IT [Philadelphia Inquirer.] There are three candidates for United States Senator In Pennsylva nia: Boles Penrose. Republican. A. Mitchell Palmer, free trade Dem ocrat. Gifford Pinchot, Flinnite, an Im portation from New York. There is one issue—that of restor ing Pennsylvania to full prosperity through a return to protective policies and the defeat of Democratic experi mentalists with the industries of the State, or permitting the experimenting to go on. Penrose represents the policies which lead to prosperity. Palmer is the uncompromising representative of Industry-smashing free-trade tariffs. Pinchot represents nothing whatever in this protection-free trade issue.
