In the future, in explaining an accident clerks will have a hard task. The Interstate Commerce Commis sioners designed the hlanks, and insist on correct returns of all ' accidents. The blanks are in charge of the super intendents of the various divisions. Each department in which the acci dents occur must first report to the superintendent's .ntfice. Clerks will then fill out the blanks, getting all the information possible to show the re sponsibility.

If you would quit coffee and use Postum your nerves would steady up. Postum tastes much like fine, mild Java but there's no drug in it—that's where it's got coffee beat a mile. Sound advice. More and more, people are waking up to the harmful effects of caffeine—the drug in coffee a frequent cause of nervousness, heart flutter, dizzi ness, headache, and other ailments. Instant Postum is the soluble form of the original Postum Cereal. A level teaspoonful of the crvstaline powder in a cup of hot water makes a delicious food-drink instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The convenience of Instant Postum is seen at a glance, but some prefer the original Postum Cereal which must be thoroughly boiled—lsc and 25c pack ages. Grocers sell both kinds and the cost per cut is about the same. A change from coffee to Postum has been a good thing for thousands. "There's a Reason" THURSDAY EVENING, repairmen under his Jurisdiction on full time, or tyty hours per week. Since 1913 men have been work ing forty hours a week. Three hundred men are affected by the order. Not only does the full time apply to car repairmen in the Altoona yards, but also to men em ployed at similar work at Hollidays burg, Bellwood and Huntingdon.

CURIOUS MIX-UP IN ASSESSORS' RETURNS [Continued From First Page.] to the assessors in the county outside the city. Consequently a number of I fie city officials fulled to turn In their lists of changes in assessments to-day. And the law provides, according to the commissioners, that to-day is the final day upon which the county authorities may receive these returns. Now as everybody knows, to be registered on the regular registration days the voter must show a receipt for taxes paid within two years. To get such a receipt he naturally must his taxes—and he can't pay his taxes if he isn't assessed. Five Wards Heard From Up until noon only the Thirteenth, Eighth, Third. Tenth and Fifth wards had been heard from. County Solicitor F. M. Ott supported the commissioners in thetr contention as to the time limit for making their returns and City Republican Chairman Harry F. Oves took the same view. "If a voter was assessed last year, however," said City Chairman Oves, "and can show no tax receipt, he can still pay his 1914 tax to the collector of the ward from which he has re moved, or, if that collector accept it now, the voter can the county commissioners. enable him to register and vote at both the primaries and general election." The inix-up that has so harried many an anxious assessor is due in a measure to the fact that the primaries for the first time occur in September. The election data sharks at the county commissioners' office, accordingly hold that the same qualifications that hold good for the general elections, apply to the primaries. NEW AMERICAN NOTE . ON WAY TO GERMANY [Continued From First Page.] prevails tlmt another disaster such as l)cfcll tlie Lusitania would mean the immediate assembling of Congress. President Wilson has given careful consideration to eventualities to which the new American note may commit the United States and he believes it places squarely on Germany respon sibility for any act that may cause rupture. There is now no indication that the Lusitania case will Itself cause a rup ture. but the President has determined to keep that subject In the forefront as a diplomatic issue of first impor tance between the two countries. Pres sure. for settlement will be renewed from time to time, and if not adjusted by the end of the European war will continue to impend in the relations between the United States and Ger many very much as did the Alabama case in the relations between Great Britain and the United States after the Civil War.

Schwab. This Is the daily output of the 15,000 men employed at the Bethlehem works. Night and day the busy hum gees on unceasingly, and Schwab within the space of six or eight months ! has established a record that rivals the famous Krupps of Germany. From a common steel mill the works have been transformed into a bristling arsenal. New buildings have shot up from the ! ground like mushrooms and the busy hammers resound before the roofs are completed. Since June 1 some 600 carloads have been sent westward to Vancouver for shipment to Russia. There, are fifteen Russian officers here constantly for inspection of the material. An other fifteen French military officers aie watching the making of munitions for France, and ten English officers are inspecting munitions under the contracts with that country. Halted by Wire Sightseers are halted a half-mile away from the shipping yards. A tall board fence topped by several strands I of barbed wire forms an impassable barrier around the works. Uniformed guards are at the gates and strict measures are being taken against spy work and maniacs. A squad of 100 detectives is maintained by the com pany. They are sprinkled over the plant, the majority of them in the buildings where the shells are made. So strict are the measures taken that workmen in the most important shops get in only by password and iden tification. Mr. Schwab personally declines to have a guard and declares he is mind ing his own business. It is common gossip that cranks have tried to get into the plant and that each mail brings scores of threats against the big arsenal. Steel Trade Continues to Gain Ground—lron Age In its weekly review of the iron and steel trades to-day the Iron Ago says: "The steel trade continues to gain ground, with enough lag at certain points in the industry to keep the a'd- Vo nee from proceeding too rapidly. The feeling crops out here and there < that prices on export business apart i from war requirements may be put up too fast. "Thus' far. while domestic demand has continued at the high rate of June, there has been little indication that consumers are buying to forestall price advances. The disposition still appears to digest first those already made. "Russia's further rail requirements are variously estimated. In addition to 60,000 tons placed with the Lacka wanna Steal Company and 100,000 tons with the Cambria Steel Company, options have been taken in this coun try on round lots. West Australia has been asking for 10,000 tons of rails, and an independent steel company is credited with getting the business. As open-hearth steel is being taken up for other purposes, rail makers are feeling less and less the absence of railroad buying. • r "Steel contracts from car companies have been a good sized factor in all districts lately, and much steel is be ing figured on for cars yet to be let. I Chicago reports 5,000 cars now being considered by the Union Pacific and 8,000 by the New York Central. The Baltimore and Ohio has closed for 2,000 freight and 50 passenger cars. "The Steel Corporation's operations are now at about 91 per cent, of its ingot capacity, while the Carnegie Steel Company is employing close to 95 per cent, of such capacity. At Chicago the larger operations of the principal plants have been due to the transfer of orders that would naturally be rolled at Pittsburgh. "The structural situation in the East is rather better. Besides .15,000 tons for subways in immediate prospect, in cluding 11.000 tons on which bids were taken this week, 35,000 tons of general work is represented in active projects." Fire Chief Out For County Treasurership John E. Shupp, chief of the Steelton volunteer fire department, to day took out papers and announced himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for county treasurer. Mr. Shupp has been chief of the Steelton firemen for six years and is vice-presi dent of the State Firemen's Associa tion. He has never held a county office. Steelton Snapshots Anderson. Candidate.—Thomas An derson has announced himself a can didate for the Democratic nomination for constable in the Second ward. Iron in Eyes.—William Marks, an employe of the steel works, had both eyes filled with Iron dust while drill ing a piece of cast iron yesterday. The particles of iron were removed and liis eyesight will not be injured, phy sicians believe.
