ACTIVITIES IN THE
STATE POLICE EED
MORE MEN. THEY SHY
Bill to Add 116 Prepared For
Presentation to the House Dur
ing This Week
The addition of four corporals and
twenty-five troopers to each of the
four troops of the Pennsylvania State
Police force is contemplated by a bill
which is to be presented to the House
to-morrow and which will be backed
by many members from rural districts
because of the facilities it will offer
for extension of rural patrols.
The bill has been recommended l.v
the Economy and Efficiency Commis
sion and numerous conservation, agri
cultural and other organizations have
called for more rural patrol work and
will get support from many members
from interior counties. Under the
demands of the State government the
State Police are doing things never
contemplated by the framers of the
law establishing the fprce, and their
work has attracted the attention of
a dozen States. They have been called
upon to serve at old home weeks,
county fairs, campmeetings. farmers'
picnics, athletic meets, celebrations of
all kinds and even for parades where
there are crowds to handle, as well
as to help the Department of Health
enforce quarantines, aid the State
Livestock Sanitary Board when neces
sary to kill cattle because of disease,
to break up illegal fishing, assist game
wardens in their work against the
game law violators and to light forest
(ires. Thirty-two substations are or
dinarily provided, but the strike cer
vice at Erie and the Gettysburg re
union expenses used up much of the
appropriation and the troopers have
been confined to barracks, except in a j
few counties. If the increase is voted I
and enough appropriation is made,
substations will be established in I
rural districts, farmhouses being'
headquarters in many cases, and the
countryside given the advantage of
men at regular places and covering
thirty-mile districts. In the last vear
almost every district attorney used
State polce, and requests for details
have been made in the last two
months that the department cannot
fill.

MONDAY EVENING,
RECESS COMES Al
END OFTHtS WEEK
Legislators Will Face Big Calen
dars When They Meet For
Tonight's Sessions
The Legislature will adjourn until
.March 1 at the conclusion of .his
week's work. It is-the program for
both houses to meet to-night and to
hold daily sessions and numerous
committee hearings until Wednesday
or Thursday, and then take a recess to
allow bills to be prepared, inspections
to be made and other preliminary
work to be accomplished. The Senate
may adjourn on Wednesday. The
House will adjourn on Thursday.
It is expected that when the law
makers reconvene that the workmen's
compensation act will be ready for
their consideration. It will be sub
mitted to the Governor and mem
bers of the platform bill committee
at a conference to be held to-morrow,
and be printed, together with state
ments for and against administra
tive and other features. In the re
cess the Governor will give his at
tention to the bills relative to high
ways, education, the Department of
Agriculture and the proposed Depart
ment of Conservation and also con
tinue his study of the State finances.
Both branches have long calendars
for to-night. The Senate has thirty
bills, fifteen on third reading, five on
second reading and ten on first. On
final passage are several Allegheny
county bills, and on second the meas
ure carrying half a million dollars to
pay expenses of the foot and mouth
disease campaign, the third House
bill to be reported out in the upper
chamber. The House has eighteen
bills, all but one on second reading.
The final passage bill would lower the
minimum school tax levy in first class
school districts; second reading bills
include those providing for an addi
tional judge in Dauphin county, mak
ing the mountain laurel the State
flower, carrying $46,000 to pay for
advertising of constitutional amend
ments and a number of borough and
township acts.
One bill is in the Governor's hands.
It is the deficiency bill, carrying about
1640,000.
changes in the recent seasons for hunt
ing small and large game.
The northern hunters contend that
while conditions in the southern coun
ties may warrant such a departure
from the present laws, the enactment
of the Phillips bill as now drafted
would practically kill the sport in the
upper tier of counties. This is dMe to
the fact that winter begins there much
earlier than in the counties along and
near the southern border.
There is some talk of trying to
please everybody by having the stale
opportioned into hunting districts with
different seasons in each district so as
to meet, local conditions, but this is
not considered practicable.
The State Game Commission finds
itself handicapped trying to propa
gate wild game life in the state due
to the setback In getting quail from
Mexico and Cuba. The commission,
however, has met with no dlfficultv in
securing packrabblts. Thosands of
"cottontails'" have been brought here
from Virginia and other southern
states and turned loose In the woods.
BEIEIN Bill
WOUIDJELP STATE
Provides Way For Institutions
| Under State Control to Discount
Their Bills
Provision that quarterly appropri
ations to institutions owned anil op
erated in whole or in part by the
Commonwealth shall be paid to the
officials in charge of such establish
ments in advance of the quarter in
stead of at the close is made bv a bill
prepared for introduction in the Sen
ate to-morrow night by Senator Ed
ward E. Beidleman, of this city. The
bill is designed to ease thp burdens of
maintenance of such institutions and
the State is to be safeguarded bv a
bond to be given by the board ad
ministering the hospital.
Senator Beidleman is a member of
the board of trustees of the State
Hospital for the Chronic Insane at 1
South -Mountain and the bill is the
result of his experience. He found
that owing to the fact that State in
stitutions were required to buv from
bidders who were forced to wait
months for settlements of their ac
counts that the Commonwealth was at
a disadvantage and firms which might !
but were opposed to carrying accounts,
in this way buying has become re- '
stricted. But the terms of his bill the
trustees or managers will have oppor
tunity to pay snot cash and to discount
bills, which they are unable to do now
and will not be required to make loans
if they need money.
The Beidleman bill requires the
heads of institutions to make requi
sitions within fifteen days of the ad
vance of any quarter for the total
estimated amount of the total per
capita cost of maintenance of the
patients or Inmates "for said quarter
shall be honored forthwith by the
Anditor General."
A quarterly report within twenty
da\s after the ending of each quar
ter is to be made under oath setting
forth number of persons and anv
changes which may have occurred anil
to include "a specific itemized state- i
ment" under oath or all receipts and !
expenditures, together with the cash i
balance, which balance is to be de
ducted from the amount charged for
maintenance for the succeeding quar
ter. The report is also to include all
outstanding obligations, if any. A
bond of So.ooo is to be given with cor
porate security, to be paid for out of
the funds for maintenance

DISEASE GERMS 111

Commitiioner Dixon Calls Atten
tion to Enemies That Lurk
When We Do Not Know
State Commissioner of Health deals
with the dangers from disease germs
In axi eminently practical manner In n
statement on the part bacteria piay in
our lives. He discusses how infection
is carried as follows:
There are many things in the world
which our five senses unaided would
never apprise us of. There are sounds
too delicate for the ear to hear, odors
which we cannot smell, flavors which
we fail to recognize movements and
vibrations to which our nerve centers
do not respond and Innumerable ob
jects in nature which we cannot see.
Even the bravest man shrinks from
danger which Is unseen. The deadliest
enemies of mankind are absolutely
invisible to the naked eye. Tubercu
losis. cholera, typhoid fever, the
plague, yellow fever and many other
of the diseases which claim a greater
number of lives than have ever been
sacrificed in war are caused by those

bacteria of micro-organisms. Com
monly these are referred to as disease
germs.
Bacteria ore minute organisms the
largest of which are only some ten or
twelve thousandths of an inch in
length. Not all bacteria are harmful
but those which, are responsible for
disease when introduced into the human
or animal anatomy multiply with
startling rapidity and give off poisons
wtilch cause sickness and death. Mil
lions of these organisms could be con
tained in a single drop of water.
There arc three very common ways
In which disease germs are carried
from person to person and Introduced
Into the system—fingers, food and in
sects. Foods which are eaten raw and
milk and water are those most likely
to transmit infection. Thorough cook

the food is infected by being handled

Our fingers are continually coming

intestinal discharges of those suffer
