OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN "THEIR MARRIEDUFI^] Copyright kr ißtcraatlannl N«w» Serrlca "Helen, I really haven't a minute to stay, everything is at sixes and sevens at home, but I ran In to ask you if you thought Mary could possibly get me a maid." Mrs. Stevens turned and faced Helen in the living room as she spoke, a slightly tragic look on her us t uallv good-natured face. "Sit down and tell me all about It," said Helen soothingly. "I know just how you feel." "Oo you don't, that is the trouble. You have always had such good luck that you have never had to worry. Im agine one with the luck of having a good maid walk In and take Nora's place. I always said you could never have such luck again, and now you like Mary almost as well as you liked Nora." "What's the matter with 'Maggie? 1 thought you were so delighted with her." "We were, but it lasts only a week, my dear." She is gone now." Helen smiled at the tragic manner in which Mrs. Stevens used to im part her news. She knew tliat Mrs. Stevens exaggerated about things and even now matters might not be as bad as they sounded. "You needn't smile. Helen Curtis; wait until you hear some of the things I have to put up with, then you won't wonder that 1 am nearly in my grave." "Well, do tell me, so that I tan sym pathize. Somehow I think 1 can do that better than I can do anything ele." "Well, in the first place, she has an admirer. Helen, have you ever had experience with that?" "Why certainly. Joe came here to see Nora all the time." "Yes but this is the kind that eats me out of house and home. Every morning 1 find the kitchen tilled with cigaret stubs and empty des sert dishes. We never have enough of anything for a second meal." "Well I simply wotild'nt put up with that five minutes," said Helen de cidedly. "But that is not the worst. I.ast Sat urday 1 had some friends for the week end. You mave heard me speak of the Benedicts from Springfield. Well 1 naturally wanted to have everything extra nice. Needless to say, llelen, everything went wrong. I had made one of my particuar desserts, a blanc mange, in a fancy mold. Of course I wanted to have it brought on the ta ble in the form with whipped cream as a finish. Imagine my feelings when Sunday morning I discovered that the thing was half gone. I ask ed Maggie if they had eaten it. and •he Anally confessed with an air of bravado that made me feel like chok ing her." Couldn't Send Her Away Mrs. Stevens stopped for breath, and llelen said indignantly: "I should have discharged her im mediately." "With all that extra company? T simply could not think of such a thing and she knew it." "Well, what did you do?" "I managed as well as I could, with the blanc mange in little glass dessert dishes and the whipped cream on top. I suppose I should have been grateful that she left me amthing at. all." TOBACCO FACTORY BUSY Special to the Telegraph Halifax, Pa..

TUESDAY EVENING, > I "Its a shame, dear," said Helen ! 5 again. "I think it would have driven! 11 me insane." "But the climax came yesterday."! ' pursued Mrs. Stevens. "I knew that ' she had a terrible temper, and so I ■ asked Mr. Stevens to tell her that she i could go. Of course her month wasn't up, but I was willing to pay j 1 1 for the three extra days, and the jthought of her in the house another • ! minute made me want to cry. You ' I have no idea Helen, how nervous •' I have been." "Did Mr. Stevens tell her?" rj "Yes. He went out to the kitchen 1 1 1 after breakfast and told her that she j I! could go. She was impudent of course j and muttered things, but we thought j • it was all settled, and Mr. Stevens I 1 went to business. I was in the dining ! room when I heard this terrible crash, j You know. I keep my cloisonne set 1 in the pantry, and that was the first I • thing that occurred to me. Sure . enough, when 1 rushed out there lay an entire tray of those expensive 1 things smashed to smithereens. Helen i 1 I don't know how I held my temper." | ' "I never heard of such a thing!" j Helen exclaimed. ; "O course, she said it was an accl t dent, and pretended to be sorry, and '! all the while I saw that she was laugh ■ ing behind my back and I was help > less. All I could do was to pray and ; hope that she would leave without do- j ing anything eise." "Yes, making away with the spoons I for instance." "Exactly. Well T told her that she 1 needn't bother with the dishes, but that she was to leave immediately. 1 1 followed her into her room and watched her while she packed up her things, and maybe I didn't breathe ■ a sigh of relief when the door slammed j I behind her." .lust a few Tilings finne. "Have you missed anything since?" "Just a few little things that really! don't matter—a scarf that I had and some little things like that." "I should think that was enough, j You certainly have had a horrible ex- ! perience. I know you'll hate to break ! in another girl." "Yes, but I must get some one. un less I war\t to resign myself to hotel life, and I don't want to that, Helen." , "Of course you don't. Just a Min ute and I'll run out and see if Mary | knows of any one—she might happen 1 to. you know." Helen returned after a few minutes with not very good news. "Mary said that* if she would have only known a week ago she might 1 have helped you. She' knew a girl who was anxious for a place, but of course, she has a place now. But cheer up, we'll do what we can for you." Mrs. Stevens rose to go. and as the ■ door closed after her, Helen drew'a little breath of relief at her own good . fortune. There were plenty of peo- , pie in the world who would be glad ; enough to be in her shoes, and yet '' ! she wasn't satisfied with life. Human nature was a funny thing.

DOGS CAUSE LOSS IN STATE'S SHEEP Rather Startling Figures Made Public Last Evening by Patton's Office Figures compiled by the statistical bureau of the State Department of Agriculture from township reports re ceived show that r.,808 sheep, valued at over $50,000, were killed by dogs in Pennsylvania. In the same period 4,764 sheep were injured by dogs. In both instances the damage done was greater than in 1914, when 5,187 sheep were reported killed and 3,813 injured by dogs. For horses, mules, cattle and swine bitten by mad dogs the counties of the State paid $4,502.41. The average price paid to the own ers of the sheep by counties, which must bear the loss when sheep are killed by dogs, was $6.60, the total sum paid for sheep killed and in jured, Including legal costs, approxi mating $53,969.44 in the whole State. The bureau also issued some figures on dogs, showing 26 3,511 were assessed for taxation, this being the first time complete figures have been available. The dog tax collected amounted to $135,278.70, an average of 73 cents for each male dog and $1.48 for each female dog. l.ast year it is estimated that si 47,815.88 was collected. During the las' year 3,384 dogs, most of them ownerless, and some of them in almost a wild state, were killed by dreetion of county commissioners or tax col lectors. against 2,033 the year before These figures dc not include figures on dogs in cities. BIDIiACK AT EPWORTH Special revival services are being held this week in Epworth Methodist Church. To-night's services will be featured by a sermon by the Rev. S. B. Bidlack, West Fairview. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DR. DIXON GIVES OUT SOME JOLTS Asks How Many People Can Tie Shoes Without Becom ing Contortionists Every man and woman should be! able to go up a flight of stairs without . puffing or be able to button shoes without imitating a contortionist, de clares Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. Stale j Commisioner of Health, in a week-' end discussion of problems of health j and hygiene. The commissioner takes 1 preparedness as his theme and says that every man of woman who wants j to live should take as much care of; chest measurement or waist measure ment as of a bank account. These are the commissioner's views: "Could you mobilize on short no tice? Is your individual physical equipment always in condition to meet j the demands which nature may thrust upon it? Could you run half a mile if your life were at stake? Could you ! do half a day's manual labor with safety? "Of course you may say with por-1 feet truth that there are not apt to be any such demands upon you. You earn your daily bread by mental ex- j ertion and expect to continue so do-, ing. Well and good, hut are you sure , that your mental equipment is at par.' The chances are that the man who permitshimself to deteriorate physical-1 ly cannot reach the maximum of his; mental capacity. "Nature unquestionably contem- j plated that the human animal should ; have a considerable degree of physi-1 cal exertion to maintain life. The complexities of modern civilization ' have forced many men and women j into occupations where it requires ef fort to lind time or opportunity fori even a small amount of exercise. Com monly we accept such a condition with I some superficial expression of regrel | and move along in our restricted cir cle of endeavor until nature declares I war. "You can make no treaties which j will insure your safety under such conditions. Nothing short of a con sistent policy of moderate exercise and temperate living will prepare you to meet the vital individual emergency. Your turn will surely come. Are you ready? "Personal pride should offer suffi cient incentive to a man or woman to keep in such condition that they can mount a flight of stairs without putting or button their shoes without contor tions. "The man who wants to really live should watch his waist measure and his chesi expansion with at least the same attention which he bestows upon his bank account." Episcopal Pension Fund Grows; Penna. Doing Big Part in Great Campaign In Pennsylvania *200.000 of the SL -000.000 goal for the Protestant Bins-1 copal Church Pension Fund, has al ready been raised according to an an nouncement made by Bishop William Lawrence, of Massachusetts, president 1 of the fund board.

MARCH ACCIDENT ROLL VERY LARGE Commissioner Jackson Calls Attention to the Dangers in Speeding Up Industrial accidents in Pennsylvania during March killed 239 employes and injured 26,732. During' tlie first three months of this year 590 industrial workers in this State liave been killed in their employment and 64,321 others have received injuries. The total num ber of dead and injured in Pennsylva nia's industrial army for January, Feb ruary and March aggregates 64.911. Those figures were made public to day liy Commissioner John Price Jack son. of tile Department of Labor and Industry, ami represent the accumu lation of reports of industrial accidents received at the Bureau of Statistics and Information of the Labor Depart ment. The toll of dead and injured for January was 129 killed and 13,336 in jured: for February, 222 killed and 24.253 injured. Commissioner Jackson called attention to-day to the fact that the list of casualties in the industries, as indicated by the reports, is increas ing. although the increase for March over February was not as great as the increase of February over January. The Bureau of Statistics continues to receive reports at a rate of almost 1,000 for every working day. "If the injuring of workers con tinues at this rate for the entire year," declared Commissioner Jackson, "there will lie 2.360 workers killed and 257,000 others injured. That means the extermination of almost three regi ments of workers and the injuring of employes numbering almost three times the standing army of the United States. "Tlie policy of preparedness ami conservation must be adopted by all employers and employes if this indus trial slaughter is to be checked. This economic and soi'ial waste to this State of 5,000.000 people is devitalizing to an alarming: degree. " 'Carefulness' should be the watch word of every employe and 'Safety Or ganization' of every employer. "I firmly believe that the industrial accident prevention conference, at tended by employers representing al , most $5,000,000,000 of invested capital and by labor leaders representing al most 1,000,000 workers within the State, held recently in' Harrlsburg. will be of great value in reducing mate rially this tremendous waste." | HOFFMAN' FAMILY MKKTTNG Special to the Telegraph Halifax, Pa..
