A few years ago bills having the eame object as that presented yester day by Judson W. Stone, of Bradford J county, -which is the measure referred to, were bitterly contested by legis lators from counties where agriculture is the leading business. It was de clared In debates ift the Houso that a requirement that market wagons and milk wagons should display lights when driven about after nightfall was 'tv hardship without warrant and one tmember invoked the memories of taourtship days by asking If the law makers would demand a light upon "buggies" which might be used by rus tic swains in going to and from spell- Ins bees and church socials. Now things have changed. The fact that automobiles are required to dis pla> lights and their owners want to do fo for their own protection has made a shift in opinion and many farmers 'display lights as a precaution, whereas a few years ago they would have con sidered a law with that object an Invasion of liberty. Maybe the Stone bill will not be re quired at all. The practice of carrying lights for safety is so general that It Is only the skylarker who would attempt to disobey what is coming to be stronger than law. LONG DISTANCE IX TRUTH SITTING comfortably in his office on Wall street the busy finan cier may now pick up liis tele phone, say "Hello, central, give mc 'Frisco," and in a few moments be In confidential conversation with his representative on the Pacific coast. The latest achievement of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany flashes the human voice 3,400 miles of distance in one-fifteenth of a second, a space that the fastest rail road train requires some four or five tlays to cover. This latest marvel of mechanical perfection and human ingenuity is a tribute to the effectiveness of the busi ness organization that has made it possible. Likewise it is an argument In favor of Big Business. Without a rompany of nation-wide scope, capable of putting this long line of copper wire into harmonious connection, the present cross-continent telephone ser vice would be impossible. Xo scries of Individual companies could operate it successfully, however much they might desire to do so, and even if It were possible under such a disjointed arrangement the cost would be so high ps to make it impracticable. We are too prone to condemn what Is commonly called a "Trust." In this particular Instance, the combination Of local companies and their amalga mation into one great system has been distinctly beneficial. Not only has the service been improved, but the rates have been steadily lowered. We are talking across the continent to-day because of the fact that the efforts of b certain number of telephone finan ciers have been directed over a period of years toward a combination of all of the branches of that great industry which they found possible to bring to gether under one head. Truly this transcontinental speech is • long distance achievement in more lenses than one. STATE COLLEGE'S GREAT WORK GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH HAS repeatedly emphasized the im portance of State College as an educational force In Pennsylva nia, and not without good reason. The nnnua! report of the college, just off the press, shows that more than one million citizens of this State during the year just ended received help in one way or another through the Pennsyl vania State College. President Sparks, of the college, notes that there are 3,385 students in attendance this term. In addition to these regular students 900 farmers and ■ road supervisors attended sessions at the college one week between Christ mas and New Year's Day. In its extension work the college has enrolled over 5,000 persons throughout the Commonwealth who are being in structed by correspondence In various rourses of agriculture, home economics and engineering. The magnitude of the extension work of the college Is shown by the fact that resident agricultural THURSDAY EVENING, advisers are now maintained in four teen counties of the State, that night and apprentice schools are conducted In forty-four cities and towns with a total attendance of 3,150. Over 800 educational meetings were held in dif ferent parts of the State with a total attendance of about 60,000 and it is estimated that fully 600.000 people saw the agricultural "Safety First" and educational exhibits displayed in vari ous places through the year, while 50,000 read the various instructive bul letins issued by the college. This is bringing the university to the people in real earnest. Time was when tho boy or man without resources found a college education out of his reach. With Stnte College operating on its present extensive scale there is no longer any excuse for any boy fail ing to take up such studies as he may desire with absolute certainty that he will receive proper attention and in struction. That this service is appre ciated, not only by those taking the rudiments of technical education, but by post graduates as well, 1s shown in I the number of requests for information j and university extension aid asked for ' during the year. . Certanly. the college ought to be en couraged and its work enlarged. Wher ever else decreases in appropriations may be necessary, it is to be hoped that the legislature will not cut into the money ordinarily set aside for edu cational purposes and that State Col lege will be remembered most gen erously. COMING WHILE the ground is frozen and the weather man looks for ward to six or eight weeks more of winter weather, the optimistically inclined are seeing signs of coming Spring. For instance, there is the annual discussion of the big league training camps and whispers of a meeting of Tri-State stars and managers in Har risburg to discuss plans for the coming season. The garden seed catalogs are flood ing the mails and the ground hog day looms up on the calendar. The ice man has harvested his annual supply, and the Spring onion is on the market. The strawberry is coming up from the South at 50 cents per box and the little red breakfast radishes have made their appearance at 5 cents per bunch. Even the North Carolina shad has flopped to the front and all that we need to convince us that the balmy days of Spring time are really ap proaching is the announcement that local milliners have gone to Philadel phia or Xcw Tork to lay in their an nual supplies. All this by way of flouting the ■weather forecaster and announcing that we don't care a whoop for his old cold wave flag flying on the Federal building to-day. TIIJiIXG THE WASTE PLACES \XT tASHINGTOX, Penna., is not XXA the only town in the State that Vf is planning to cultivate its va vant land next summer for the benefit of its unemployed. Phila-j delphia hopes to raise a fund of $50,- 000 for the purpose of obtaining more land to be put into condition for the use of the amateur farmer. The Quaker City now has about 1,- 700 acres of idle land that could be turned into gardens to the great bene fit and profit of families residing adja cent thereto. The land is to be had in some cases for the asking. In others it must be rented and the $50,000 needed is to be used for rentals, plow ing and cultivating. The Telegraph has repeatedly point ed out the opportunity for a garden movement of this kind in Ilarrisburg. It has urged that our vacant lots could be well used for just such purposes as Philadelphia is finding so beneficial. That there is an opening here of this kind is shown by the fact that last year in Philadelphia over six hundred fami lies cultivated plots that otherwise would have been vacant land and the food products raised are estimated to have been worth about $30,000. This helped many families to live comfort ably through what turned out to be a hard and hungry winter. It is so easy to be seen that what was accomplished in Philadelphia could be done on a proportionately smaller scale in Har risburg that one wonders why the charities of the city do not undertake the movement. NOT SO VERY DANGEROUS A WRITER in the London Globe points out what he regards as a menace to the peace of the United States when he draws attention to the fact that there exists here "a body of citizens with divided allegiance who would not scruple to embroil the nation if they can." It is true that \here are partisans of the allies so strong in their feelings that they would plunge the nation into war in behalf of the opponents of Ger many in the present European conflict. There are also Germans here who would not look upon an international crisis over the Dacia affair with com plete dissatisfaction, and not a few Irish whose sympathy easily might be come actively anti-British, although In the main the sons of the Emerald Isle are loyal In their allegiance to Great Britain. These comprise a small but noisy group. The great rank and file of our people are determined to remain abso lutely neutral and to do nothing that will endanger the peace of the United States or detract from the position this country will hold as peacemaker when the fires of war shall have burned themselves out. Partisan efTorts to involve the coun try are less dangerous than they are annoying. They will come to nothing If the administration at Washington will only be as practical in its views as are the rank and file of American citi zenship. THE WHARTON SCHOOL NOT long since the Telegraph suggested that in due time Har risburg would have a properly housed branch of the Wharton school of the University of Pennsyl vania. We now have the branch, but we do not have the building. That the suggestion fell upon fertile ground, however, is shown by the attention given to this thought by those at the head of the school in this city. The whole district fronting on the Capitol Park Extension area will one day be occupied by public and semi public structures. Harrisburg must In tho future have a civic center and this Is the logical locatlou. We predict that one of these buildings, and by no means the smallest or meanest of them, will be the home of the local branch of the Wharton school. i EVENING CHAT I Few people imagine tho work that is done on railroads by trackmen this time of the year. Especially at this season when changes of weather are likel\ to occur at any time and when ojie does not know whether a snow storm is lurking among the mountains the trackwalkers and repairmen have to be literally on the job at all times. Next time you take a trip watch the trackmen picking and whacking at the rails and the repair gangs standing at attention when the cars go by. At night the lanterns of the trackwalkers can be seen going along the rails like will-o -the-wisps and when It Is foggy or there is a snow storm the solitary man patrolling tho lines along the Susquehanna or out the Lebanon val ley shows that the precautionary work of the man who must spot dan ger is going on. The Rockville and Cumberland Valley and Heading bridges are patrolled as regularly as Market street and in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the big yards above the city and at Enola there are men who are keeping their eves on the maze of tracks. Traekwalklng is a serious business at any time and this season of the year it is a job of a big size. There are about half a dozen ways ior spelling Governor Brumbaugh's Pennsylvania German remark the other day in his conversation with the newspapermen and everyone seems to have a different way. The governor declines to say just how he spells it, hut Uncle Heinrich Houck says that it is "nix kuin "rails." Hon. R. F. Meyers has another way of spelling it and certain people spell the first word "Xiehts". The opinion seems to be general that the governor meant that t he did not want to talk. The demolition of the old Fourth street plant of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company is attracting much attention from passersby be cause of the rapid way in which the brick work is going down. The other afternoon the workmen took down a couple of massive pillars in short or der. using sledge hammers. The build ing, which was one of the first erected for electrical purposes in Harrisburg, has disappeared except for the south wall and that is going in a short time. The pleasant days this week have caused a good many people to go up tho Riverside road in automobiles and the going is said to be good and the air bracing. It is rather remarkable the way people walk along the river front, too. Almost any afternoon people can be seen strolling up toward the Rockville bridge and enjoying the scenery. Thomas D, Shea, the Wilkes-Barre lawyer who figured in impeachment proceedings against one of the four judges attacked last session of the legislature, was a visitor to the Capi tol yesterday. He came here on some business connected with a Luzerne county hospital. Talking about languages it is of in terest to know that several teachers in this city who make a specialty of lan guages have been giving lessons in Spanish and some of the men who have been taking them are traveling men who are evidently preparing for South 'America. One man who gives lessons has been Instructing some by mail. This is the season of the year when root painters are getting in their work and dozens of houses are being prepared against the late snows and the Spring rains. This is the time of the year when the work should be done say men of experience in caring for properties and the roof painters are very willing to undertake the jobs. ,The sight of men working on roofs and being called to by friends in the street is not uncommon. Kdgar A. Weimer, elected president of the associated poultrymen of the State, is a former mayor of Lebanon, enthusiastic fisherman. big game hunterfi scientist, explorer and engi neer. He is also chairman of the State Building code commission. Governor Brumbaugh is having troubles of his own in getting to meals. His office has been overrun by callers this week because of .the numerous meetings being held here, the legisla tive session and the visits of delega tions interested in legislation. He has not been able to get awav until long after 1 o'clock for several days and has»been at his otflce until late in the evenings. Long after dinner time. The passing of the dividend of United States Steel common has caused a lot of the same kind of talk around here that was heard some years ago. At that time a number of men bought and a number did not. The way quo tations are being watched is amusing from the sidelines. I i/ii/vi/ii ncAnT^l —David Watson, the Pittsburgh lawyer, is at the seashore. —W. W. Atterbury, the Pennsylva nia Railroad vice-president, used to work in the Altoona shops. —Judge H. M. Edwards, of Scran ton. was criticised for something and, announcing that he was a plain citizen, made a tart reply. —Colonel M. Richards Muckle is enjoying his winter visit to the sea shore. —Thaddeus Freeburn, burgess of Northumberland, is also receiver of an electric company up that way. —William Findlay Brown, brother of the Attorney General, Is mentioned for mayor of Philadelphia.

HARRISBURG (AiAt TELEGRAPH TWO VANDYKES NOW IN THE LIMELIGHT Democratic Machine Bosses Un able to Put Across Warren Because of T. K. BOTH AFTER COLLECTORSHIP Democratic State Headquarters Rather a Mournful Place Dur ing This Session Democrats in this section of the State are making bets and Republicans sitting on the bleachers on the fine race being run for the appointment to the Ninth internal revenue district collectorship between Warren Van Dyke and T. KitteraVan Dyke. The Ninth is back in its old lines, Presi dent Wilson having re-established the old Scranton district which President Taft for reasons of economy consoli dated with the Ninth with headquar ters at Lancaster. Frit?. Kirkendall, the collector, hopes to be back in his home district and not to see Lancas ter again soon. —When the election ended and hopes of jobs on Capitol Hill for Democrats vanished there was a tre mendous stir over the collectorship and favorite sons appeared in several counties. The word went forth from the annexes to the Market Square windmill that Warren Van Dyke, who came here from Carbon county when the new machine took charge, would be named as a reward for his services in the campaign that went to dent and smash. This tip did not deter T. K. Van Dyke from entering the field and he has succeeded in tying up the whole business. —T. K. is the original Bryan ntan in this section and has a lot of friends at all seasons, but since the rout of No vember he has made some accessions of an Influential nature In spite of the report that the late candidate for gov ernor frowned upon the collectorship ideas he put forth and is reported moreover to be an earnest little advo cate of Warren Van Dyke. —One of the stories is that T. K. has been boomed bv some of the big Democrats of this district and that a couple of Democratic congressmen who have their own ideas about the incapacity of the leaders In the late campaign have endorsed him against Warren in spite of the fact that the latter served as secretary of the State committee and comes to Harrisburg by way of Mitchell Palmer's district. No matter who is named the appoint ment is sure to make Democratic con ditions worse than they are to-day. —Representative John M. Flynn, leader of the Democrats in the Legis iature. is quoted as saying that the Democratic members will line up be hind Governor Brumbaugh on some of his big bills, picking out those in the Brumbaugh platform which fit in their own planks. This attitude is said to have been taken in spite of the an nouncement that the Democratic State bosses would have their own legisla tion. The Democratic members are divided over the present bosses and there are mighty few who have any opinion worth expressing about the titular heads. —The Democratic headquarters in Market Square present a melancholy sight. They have been visited by few of the members and those who have gone there have not gone back much except to read the home papers. The windmill here is only an annex of the headquarters in Philadelphia and the spirit of the self-seeking reorganizes hangs about it. I [From the Telegraph. Jan. 28, 1865] All Favor Peace Washington.

ORIGIN' OK JAPANESE I MRHKI.I.A Tltll'K Feats with an umbrella—of the Jap anese kind—are very common, writes SI. Gintaro in the February Strand. The juggler throws up a ball, catches it 011 the top of an open umbrella, and, by twisting the handle rapidly, causes the ball to run round the edge of the um brella. A similar feat is performed with curtain rings and with coins; the smaller and lighter coin the more dif ficult the feat All these feats were originated by a street performer In Japan. One day, while passing under the walls of a castle, a small audience collected on the top of a wall and playfully dropped some tangerines on to the comedian of the company of struggling Jugglers. (No such company Is complete without a comedian). The next day the come dian was treated in the same manner, and so he put up a paper umbrella to shoeld himself. The shower of anger ines broke through the umbrella Then the leading Juggler of the company saw his opportunity. He took the umbrella, twisted it quickly, ar.d, by making it revolve, caused the tangerines to fly oft It While he was doing this he was helped by a lucky accident One of the tangerines rolled round the umbrella once before dropping on the ground. The Juggler picked up the tangerine and caught It once more on his re volving umbrella, and thus the feat was invented. The hardest feat of all with the umbrella is done with a Jap anese coin which is lighter than an American cent. WHAT CAUSESTOLDS? This question and "How to Prevent Colds" is asked a thousand times every day. A cold is realty a fever, not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the blood or lack of important food elements. In changing seasons fat foods are essential because they dis tribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the undeflying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion quickly overcome colds and build strength to prevent more serious sick ness. It contains nature's medicinal fats, so skillfully prepared that the blood profits from every drop, aad it is free from harmful drag* or ataofcol. %MT •am H Wnrm, UnarifcM. K.X.

L. W. COOK DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND RKD CROSS NURSE Organized Ambulance Service and Took Meld in Person The "fog of war," which is com plained of so heartily by war cor respondents. has been lifted enough to reveal the dramatic and beautiful picture of Millicent, Duchess of Suth erland, who at the very outbreak of hostilities organized the Millicent Sutherland Ambulance Society and took the field in person. Partly on account of her social rank, but more because of her distinguished standing as a writer and philanthro pist, the Duchess of Sutherland has been permitted to contribute to the great current "History, of the War," which is now being produced by the greatest of European newspapers, the London Times. The Duchess, who has many friends in the United States of America, and whose sociological books are well known here, has not only been per mitted to describe what she saw at Liege, but also to acknowledge the au thorship of the vivid pages she has written. Like all the hundreds of pages in "The London Times History of the War," her contributions are profusely illustrated. It is to be hoped that this second !

A TEAM OP TtJRTI.ES Rex Bassler, a youngster of six, liv ing at Darlcn, Wis., U. S. A., has prob ably the strangest driving team in the world—a team of eight snapping turtles, from 50 to 75 years old. weigh ing about thirty pounds each. Rex has turned these creatures, which naturally are savage, and they draw him In his ex" r ess wagon like ponies driven by other children, although they aro not likely tr. shatter any speed records. The youngster learned that turtles could be tamed while watching his father catch turtles for the New York and Philadelphia markets. Persuading his father to give him some of the largest, he finally grouped them for a driving team, and they seem to en.ln.v the sport as much as Rex likes to ride behind them. These turtles are so old that their backs are covered with moss.
