BUCKMAN ASKS
FAIR CHARGES
Objects to the Practice of Hos
pitals Charging For Only
Part Treatment
Chairman Clarence J. Buckman. of
the Senate Appropriations Committee,
will discuss with Attorney General
Francis Shunk Brown this week a
proposition to require patients to pay
the full cost of treatment in hospitals
instead of paying about half and re
lying on the State to pay the rest. The
chairman said to-night that he con
sidered this an evil and that he pro
posed to follow up the criticism he
voiced while on tours of hospitals by
some drastic action if able to bring
it about.
"The patients, if able to pay, should
pay the per capita cost, in other
words the full cost of their treatment.
If they do that the State will not be
asked to bear so much of the cost of
operating hospitals," said the Sena
tor. "It has been a very bad prac
tice and a widespread one which I
believe we should check. To my
inind it pauperizes the patient able
to pay for his treatment and it gives
him treatment for less than he would
have had to pay if he had undergone
treatment in his own home."
The Bucks county Senator has re
ceived assurances of support from a
number of influential legislators.

RUSH TO OFFER.
BILLS STARTED
Members of the House Will
Take Advantage of the Clos
ing Hours Tomorrow
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are almost 1,700 bills on the list of
the House of Representatives and

wayside, there is a regular rush under
way to get bills drawn up for pre
sentation to the lower branch before
the time expires to-morrow. By the
resolution adopted ten days ago May
1 is the last day to introduce bills
and the Legislative Reference Bureau
has been very busy drafting them.
Many complaints about the mass of

been heard and newspapers in a num
ber of counties have criticised the
delays in presentation of bills.
The House meets to-night and the
Senate to-morrow. When the Senate
meets it will have thirty-seven bills
on third reading with the measure
to change the method of purchasing
supplies for first class cities heading
the list. The bills for the establish
ment of volunteer police during the
war, for the reserve militia and other
defense measures are on second read
ing.
The House calendar contains 132
bills on third reading, witlf twenty
eight on tile third reading postponed
calendar. Among the third reading
bills are those making it a misde
meanor for anyone operating a motor
vehicle who injures a person to drive
on without offering aid; the decedent
code; regulating lights on vehicles on
public roads; for licensing of dogs
and cats; State boxing commission
bill: teachers' retirement bill; cabaret
regulator: authorizing second and
third class cities to engage in dairy
ing and farming, garnishee bill and
civil service measure, together
with several proposed constitutional
amendments and bills to enable peo
ple to sue the State.
On second reading there are the
public defense commission bill, which
carries an appropriation of ?2,000,000;
Ramsey third class city amendment
bill; Craig bill for police civil service
in third class cities, and Mt. Gretna
campsite appropriation bill.

committee will continue hearings o.
the general appropriation bill, the de
partments of Labor and Industry and
Public Service being scheduled to be
heard. The same day the Rural Mem

resolution for linal adjournment. May
21 and 31 have been suggested by
members of the league for the closing

REVENUE BILL
TO BE DISCUSSED
Direct Inheritance Tax Will
Be the Test When House
Takes Up Program
Decisions will be reached this week
in regard to what legislation for in
crease of the State's revenue shall be
pushed through the General Assem
bly. Members of the joint revenue
committee have been sounding out
sentiment and have discovered in a
good many places that bec&usq of the
mounting cost of living and the prob
ability of new federal taxes that ad
ditional State taxes may be unpopu
lar.
The Woodward bill to tax direct In
heritances, which it is estimated will
raise $5,000,000 a year, may be made
the test. This measure is now on
third reading in the House and will
be reached to-night or to-morrow.
The proposed coal tax is being han
dled delicately because of the ad
vances in prices and the scarcity of
the supply and not many members
seem inclined to talk about it.
Inquiries are being made by legis
lators as to whether with the increas
ed business done by Pennsylvania cor
porations the last year a substantial
Increase in revenue cannot be expect
ed and one of the first things that
may be asked of Auditor General-elect
Snyder may be to furnish an estimate
of what stock and loan and gross re
ceipt taxes are likely to produce, they
being the chief sources of corporate
revenue.
Chairman Woodward plans to have
the Vickernian bill providing the ap
propriations for mother's pensions in
the hands of the Governor by May
13, which has been proclaimed as
Mothers' Day by the Governor. The
House committee will meet late to
day to decide on what amount to ap
propriate. Eight hundred thousand
dollars is asked.
Storage Battery Not to Be
Treated Like Dry Cell
"Not infrequently, motorists allow
their storage batteries to become al
most discharged and, in some cases,
nearly dry," says L. S. Ellmire of the
local Prest-O-Lite battery service
station at Front-Market Motor Sup
ply Company.
"Too many motorists ore apt to
treat the storage battery as they
would treat a dry cell—they have the
impression that there is nothing to
do but use the battery until it is ex
hausted. Consequently they pay no
attention to it, as long as it does its
work, with the result that by the
time it becomes inoperative, the bat
tery is very seriously harmed.
•"It should be remembered that dry
cells are not intended to be recharg
ed or used again while storage bat
teries, by virtue of their electro-che
mical nature, may be used continu
ously throughout their life by re
changing a source of electric supply.
"The inside of a storage battery
consists of cells !a which are sus
pended plates of a chemical com
position covered with a solution of
acid and distilled water.
"The natural action of these chem
icals, through use of the battery, is
to combine—the acid of the solu
tion combining with the material
of the plates. The battery is re
charged by passing electric current
through it which reverses this na
tural action by expelling the acid
from the plates or, in effect, separat
ing the solution from the plates. Af
ter the recharge, the chemicals im
mediately start combining again or
following their natural action. It is
this action which causes the battery
to 'give off' electric current until the
action has ceased or the chemical
combinations has been affected.
"In other words chemical compo
sitions, which naturally combine,
are separated by electric current
from without and the action that
follows produces the current which
is obtained from the battery.
"Thus, electric current is not
'stored' in a battery, b#t simply pass
ed 'through' it to bring about a
chemical action. A battery is con
stantly striving to get back to its ori
ginal, or discharged, condition, and
since this action is continuous, it
slowly discharges itself even when
not in active use.
"A storage battery should never
be allowed to completely discharge
i itself. It is considered discharged
when the acid solution in the cells
kept to the proper level, shows a
specific gravity test of I.lso—which
1 means that most of the acid has
combined with the plates. At this
stage the battery may still sluggish
ly do its work, but it has about lost
its energy and the battery should be
immediately recharged. If this is not
done, the plates, no longer being
able to resist the acid solution, will
begin to rapidly deteriorate and be
! come difficult, If not impossible, of
recharging.
"Generators, furnished on most
automobiles, usually keep the bat
tery pretty well charged, but vari
ous things can happen to the bat
tery, as well as to the generator and
electrical system, which will even
tually "drain it' of current or cause
considerable trouble and expense.
"It is safest, therefo.f.\ to have the
battery tested regularly by some bat
tery expert so that any irregulari
ties in either the battery or electri
cal system may be corrected before
they become serious.
"The testing service maintained at
our battery service station, at >JO9
Marget street, is in the hands of Ex
perts and takes all the care of bat
teries off th£ hands of the many mo
torists who are taking advantage of
it both to their comfort and financial
s avlng."
How Ladies Improve
Looks!
"Many ladles, old and young:, suf
fer a round of torture with their
nerves, and many are so frail, thin
and bloodless that their splendid
features are lost sight of, while a
vain attempt to conceal the angu
larity of the figure deceives no one
but themselves and really excites
the pity or ridicule of the world."
said a well known largely employed
practicing physician. In a recent
lecture at & young ladles' college.
"1 do not mind exposing a little
sfceret to all such, as it can do no
harm and may result In much hap
piness and health. It is simply
this: Any thin, bloodless, nerve
tortured man or woman can be

week on Wednesday. The bill gives
medical, pharmacological or veterin
ary schools or colleges the right to
buy dogs unclaimed in the public
pounds for the promotion of biologi
cal science and the discovery of new
methods of treatment in medicines
and surgery. The humane societies
of the State opposed the bill with
considerable vigor when it came up
on final passage.
:I6 Hills on Tliird Reading
There are 36 bills on the third
reading calendar, among them the
Yare joint resolution .proposing an
amendment to the constitution so as
to allow the consolidation of the
common pleas courts of Philadelphia
county. The Reynolds bill authoriz
ing the director of supplies in Phil
adelphia to purchase supplies to the
amount of SI,OOO without entering
into a contract is on this calendar.
The bill lias been amended so as to
include only supplies necessary dur
ing the present war emergency.
The Beyer act providing for leave
to pay tines and costs in criminal
proceedings by instalments is on
tinal passage, together with the bill
offered by Senator Beidleman re
quiring railroad, canal, navigation
and telegraph companies to submit
their annual reports to the Secretary
of Internal Affairs not later than
March 31 of any year.
On this Calendar also is the
Snyder bill prohibiting holders of
brewers' licenses from having offi
ces or agents soliciting business in
counties outside of the one in which
they have their breweries, without
a county agent's license.
The Sproul bill, proposing an
amendment to the act providing for
the creation and maintenance of a
reserve fund in banking institutions
of the State by stipulating that the
reserve fund may consist in part of
gold or silver certificates, notes or
bills issued by a Federal Reserve
bank and authorizing a portion of
the reserve fund to be deposited in
any bank or trust company located
in any State other than Pennsyl
vania, subject to the approval of
the Banking Commissioner, is on
third reading.
Martin Hill l T p
A bill of more than passing in
terest is booked for final action in
the Senate, the Martin bill making it
a misdemeanor for a person wilfully
to neglect to support a child born
out of lawful wedlock, whether such
child shall have been begotten or
shall have been born within or with
out this Commonwealth. The act
makes it a misdemeanor also for a
person to make false declarations as
to the parentage of the child. The
penalty is a fine not exceeding JSOO
or imprisonment not exceeding one
year, or both at discretion of the
court. The bill seeks to make the
duty of the parents of neglected
children more imperative and to
prevent these children becoming
charges on State and counties.
Senator Snyder's act forbidding
the appointment of nonresidents to
any office, position jr place as em
ployes of the commonwealth is on
the third reading calendar, as is the
Eyre bill appropriating $282,800 to
uniform and equip the enlisted men
of the National Guard of Pennsyl
vania; the Buckman bill appropriat
ing $7,267.62 to meet the salary and
membership increase voted the State
Police Department, the bill having
been approved by Governor Brum
baugh on April 12 as a further
strengthening of the defenses of
Pennsylvania during the war with
Germany.
Another war measure, the act pro
viding an additional armed land
force for the defense of the Com
monwealth during any war in which
the United States may be engaged,
offered by Senator McKee.
