    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."

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. The nation-wide i
campaign to raise 55.000.0000 started j
March 1. and in one month SI,OOO,- j
000 has been contributed.
Bishop James Henry Darlington of;
the Harrisburg diocese has charge of
ihe work in this diocese.
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."
