the city. Kxpressiona of regret were
universally heard, many employers
saying they should have liked to had
their entire salisforce present. Other
speakers on a par with Mr. Dechant,
however, will be arranged for later
so as not to conflict with any great

HEALTH BASIS
OF.PREPARATION
I)r. Dixon Makes Interesting
Statement on What Every
Man May Do Now
I)r. Samuel G. Dixon, Commis
sioner of Health, in a statement is
sued to-day calls upon every man
to maintafn himself in health as a
, part of national preparedness.
The Commissioner says:
"The perfect manifestations of life
can only bo had with a harmonious
performance of all tho functions of
the body. This is so from the lowest
forms of life up to the complex and
wonderful creation of men.
"Now when we are confronted
with war and its accumulated hor
j rors. we must use every effort to
throw off the insidious hold it grad
daily sets upon our nervous systems,
i destroying the harmonlousness of
the vast number of active little cells
that go to make up our physical and
mental bodies.
"If the balance and harmony are
once destroyed, our digestion weak
ens and this robs the body of nour
ishment. which is followed by gen
eral loss of strength. The heart
muscles consequently suffer and
weaken and when this pump fails to
send the exhausted blood cells
through the lungs for purification
and recharging, the physiological
process fails in its purpose.
"The break up of the general bal
ance and harmony causes the body
to lose its resistance to disease
germs. The result is general weak- j
eninsr of the individual and often '
death, neither of which we can af- j
lord at any time let alone in time
of war, when every preventable
measure must be taken to guard
against the inroad of disease.
"To-day we cannot help but feel
our great responsibilities and make
I sacrifices for that which has given
j its our national pride and freedom. 1
We must, however, at the same time
be careful not to break up unneces- i
sarily the hhrmon.v or our social and
other everyday occupations.
"The greatest measure to help us
I carry our burden during war Is to
keep busy in some well directed
path of work that will produce those
things most essential to a successful
warfare and turn our minds from
those horrors that otherwise would
1 break up our nervous force.
"If war becomes long-continued it
may be that a revolutionary state
I may occur, where our occupations
! will have to be changed: giving up
the easier ones to the weak, and
j shifting those that are more labor*
| ious to the strong. These changes,
i however, at the present time can be
effected more easily than ever be
fore in the history of the world, be- !
; cause of the many kinds of modern
occupations which permit of selec
tion to accommodate those of differ
ent capabilities. W T hatever may be
the disturbance, we must keep busy.
We must not think too much of
"what might happen" and keep it
ever before us, destroying that bal
ance and harmony necessary for
I health."

BIG CALENDAR
FOR THE HOUSE
Over 130 Hills Are on Third
Reading or Final Passage
For Tonight
Members of the House of Repre
sentatives face a calendar of over
200 bills to-night. One hundred and
thirty of the bills are on third read
ing, while probably a dozen more are
on third reading or final passage
j postponed calendars. The second
j reading postponed calendar contains
! 4 7 bills and there -re ten on first
i reading. The calendar is the largest
j of the present General Assembly and
many bills may never reach the Sen
ate.
The house has two bills scheduled
for special consideration tonight, one
being the proposed amendment to
the constitution to regulate removal
i of appropriate officers, which is ex
| pected' to arouse much debate as it
is an effort to curtail the power
of the governor, and the other the
game code which has been under
consideration for weeks. Both bills
are on third reading. The Tuesday
special calendar contains the Beyer
bill relative to political assessment
and contributions in first class
cities.
On second reading calendar in the
House in first class cttles, appropri
ation of $2,000,000 for safety and
! defense to be disbursed by the gov
ernor, military board and three des
i ignated citizens. A similar bill Is
. on the same stage in the Senate.

Enola Plans to Cultivate
Its Many Vacant Lots
Enola. Pa., April 23.*—Preliminary
I plans for the cultivation of the va
\ cant lots in Enola were made at a
meeting of the P. R. K. Y. M. C. A. 1
Public Playground League held in the
schoolhouse on Friday evening. The
following members were appointed
! as a committee to seoare the lots to
be farmed and have them placed in
shape: S. G. Hepford, chairman: R.
H. Holmes. H. H. Way, W. L. Fisher,!
J. H. Kinter, A. N. Grundon, C. R.
Mcßeth, the Rev. T. H. Matterness,
the Rev. C. D. Rishel. and the Rev.
J. S. Glen. The next meeting will be
held Thursday evening, at which
time the committee will make its te
port.
Already a number of families have
applied for use of the farm plots and
it is expected that many more people
will take out plots as soon as the
land becomes available. H. M. Bloser,
j has secured permission from A. R.
I Rupley. real estate dealer, to use
more than seventy-five lots for the
project. The lots wilt be leased at
a nominal rent of a dollar a year.
Efforts are being made to have the
■ State Department of Agriculture
donate some of the seeds.
At a meeting this week arrange
ments will also be made for a gen
eral clean-up week early in May.
DECEDENTS' LAW
BILLS IN HOUSE
Ex-Speaker Alter Makes In
teresting Statement Regard
ing Monumental Acts
The HoUse Is scheduled to act
Anally this week on the Swartz bills
which represent the work of the
commission to codify the laws of
Pennsylvania relative to decedents'
estates, a monumental piece of legis
lation which has p.ttraeted wide at
tention.
The commission was composed of
j Judges J. M. Gest, Philadelphia, ond
T. J. Bald ridge, Blair, and ex-Speaker
George E. Alter, Alleghenv, with
! Samuel D. Matluck, Philadelphia, as
' secretary
j In a statement regarding the acts
| the ex-speaker said to-day:
The main purpose of the drafts re
-1 ported by the Commission is to ar
| range in convenient and logical
order, the statute law relative to
, decedents' estates, and thus to eli-
I minute a great mnss of patchwork
j which has grown up since the last
I revision, made over eight years ago.
| The subject is covered in seven
proposed laws, which will take the
I place of several hundred acts now
upon the statute books. The com
| mission have been conservative In
recommending changes, and where
practicable, have adhered to the
familiar language of the old statutes.
Among the changed recommended
are a number of popular Interest.
One is the adoption of the same rule
of inheritance for both real and
personal estate, in case of intestacy.
This would eliminate their share ab
solutely, the same as in personal
property. The Commissions call at
tention to the fact that the dis
tinction heretofore made is purely
historical and without anv logical
reason.
The reciprocal rights of husband I
j and wife are made exactly the;
' same. Where the interstate leaves I
! a surviving spouse and only one I
j child, the spouse will take one-half I
!of the estate. If there are two or
more children the spouse will take I
one-third. The present special al
lowance of $5,000 to a surviving
widow, where there arc no children,
is limited to cases of actual in
testacy and a surviving husband
] Riven the same right. A striking
i defect of the present law resulting
from the unexpected effect given to
i the A ct of 1909, is that where a mar
ried woman dies intestate, without
! children, and leaves a piece of real
] estate, worth $5,000, the husband
takes only a life estate in it. but if
she makes a will, declaring that her |
j husband shall have nothing, then
he can take that property ahsolute
i ly. The distinction in the inherit
ance of real estate between the
, whole and half blood is abolished,
| the rights of adopted children are
more accurately defined and it is
| provided that no murderer shall in
herit from the person he has killed.
; Many people will be surprised to
j know that the present law per
i mits such inheritance.
Little change is recommended in
the law of wills other than to codi
fy and arrange it in logical form.
One change that would result to cure
an injustice is that a gift under a
so-called "spendthrift trust" shall
not longer enable the spendthrift to !
avoid supporting his wife and minor j
children.
The proposed "Fiduciaries Act" is !
the most Voluminous. The changes !
recommended in it are mostly such J
as are of special interest to the
practitioner. The time for settling
an estate is reduced from one year
to six months, the widow's and
children's exemption is increased
from S3OO to SSOO. the lien of the
debts has been shortened from two
years to one year, and the powers of
the Orphans Court in the guidance
of trustees, guardians, etc., is ex
tended and more clearly defined.
The partition law has been con
siderably revised, though the gen
eral plan is substantially the same as
heretofore. The Sheriff's inquisition
is reduced from six to three men,
the provisions for giving notice are
simplified and made uniform and it
is provided that the allotment of j
purparts shall be according to '
seniority of age without regard to j
sex.
The numerous amendments to the j
law of sales, known as the "Price I
Act" have been combined with the
body of the Act, .but DO fundamental
changes have been made nere.
The powers of the Register of
Wills are somewhat extended and I
the practice made more effective.
Appeals from the probate of wills
must be taken within two years
instead of three, de.ays in will con
tests are guarded against and the
Register is given much needed addi
tional power to subpena witnesses,
es.
No changes of serious importance
are made in the jurisdiction or pro
cedure of the Orphans Court. One
thought of the Commission through
out has been to leave the Court free
to regulate more matters by rule or
special orders instead of attempting
to control all matters by legislative
prescription.

"Rebel Yell" Will Arouse
Enthusiasm at Reunion
Washington, D. C.. April 23.—The
fierce "rebel yell," blending in
cadence with the inspiring strains of
"The Star Spangled Banner," will
awaken the echoes and arouse pa
triotic enthusiasm at the twenty-sev
enth annual reunion of the United I
Confederate Veterans to be held at
Washington, D. C„ the week begin
ning June 4.
As the men in gray parade over
the wide stretches of Pennsylvania
avenue, sometimes termed the "na
tional .boulevard," me Impulse will
come to sound their battle cry of
more than fifty years ago when this
country was engaged in a great in
ternecine war. At this time when
the United States is at war with a
great foreign power, the picture of
the parading units of the armies of
.Lee. '•Stonewall" Jackson and other
Southern generals, will he an object
lesson worth while. The venerable
veterans of Dixie will be participants
in the making of moving pictures of
a past age on the nation's screen at
Washington.
