Important Measure Has Been
Amended to Suit Almost
All Persons Interested
What is believed to be one of the
stiffest antidrug bills presented to
%iy Legislature in this part of the
country is on the House calendar
for second reading to-night. It is
a combination of the various bills
and is said to have general ap
proval.
The bill surrounds physicians,
dentists, druggists, nurses and
others, whose business it is to handle
drugs, with strict rules for dispos

penalties for violation of the act.
The license of such persons may be
revoked if they become addicted to

Every physician, dentist and vet

lecord of ail drugs administered,
dispensed or distributed by him,
showing the amount, the date, the
name and address of the patient,
and in case of a veterinarian, the
name and address of the owner of
ihe animal treated. Persons selling
drugs also must keep a similar rec
ord for two years which must be
open at all times to the proper au
thorities. The State Commissioner
of Health is to enforce the act in
conjunction with local authorities.
The Campbell House bill prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of
adulterated or misbranded drugs,
has been reported from the Senate
committee on public health and
sanitation with two amendments.
One provides that drugs shall be
considered misbranded if the pack
age or label contains any statement
or device regarding the curative or
theraupetic effect of such articles or
any of its ingredients, which is false
or fraudulent.
The other amendment gives the
agents of the State Pharmaceutical
Examining Board power to enter
any place where drugs are com
pounded, dispensed or sold for the
purpose of purchasing samples to
test. Any person who interferes
with the agents is subjected to a tine
of $lO.

Plan to Report Out the Big
Educational Appropriations
During Present Week
Appropriation bills for the educa
tional institutions receiving State
aid will be reported out by the
House appropriations committee,
PUt>ably on Tuesday, and will be
fo.iowed during the week by a
number of other appropriations of
a general character. Chairman
James F. Woodward, of the House
appropriations committee, said to-]
day that the bills for the Universities
of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh;
Temple University and State College
would be reported out this week, but
he declined to forecast the amounts
they will carry.
When these bills are started out
it is expected that the hospital bills
which are on a special second read
ing calendar for to-night will have
been passed on to the Senate so that
the House will be ready to push
them right'along. The Philadelphia
port improvement bill and other
measures for public works will be
sent out immediately after.
Capitol park extension landscape
and improvement work will be pro
vided for in an appropriation of
$350,000 in the Woodward bill,
which will be reported later in the
week.
Chairman Bnckman, of the Sen
ate appropriation committee, who
has about forty appropriation bills,
will not be in a hurry to repmt
them. They will probably not ap
pear until next week.
The Swarta bill to amend the
escheat act of 1915 will be up in
amended form to-night. It exempts
deposits in savings funds, banks and
institutions from escheaN, proceed
ings and extends the escheating
period for other institutions from
fourteen to seventeen years.
GERMAN" SUBSTITUTES
FOR RUBBER TIRES
Rubber being scarce in Germany
nowadays, a number of bicycle tires
made of substitutes for rubber are
reported to have appeared on Vtt
German market, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. First came a
tire made of steel wire about 3-16 in.
thick, closely coiled, with ends weld
ed together. This was high-priced,
damaged pavements and rattled In
use. Then came three different types
of wooden tires, the cheapest being
made of a single piece of wood, while
others are made of wooden sections.
Another type of wood tire has the
outer surface covered with a leather
strip. Steel springs are used with all
the wooden tires, either in forks or
between tire and rim, which odds
considerably to their cost. Tires cov
ered with leather or with canvas, In
stead of rubber, are a!so on the mar
ket. But the best substitute for the
rubber tiro has an outer tube of pre
pared canvas, and a cloth-wound in
ner tube lllled with a solid prepara
tion resembling rubber, that is* said
to bo quite elastic.

Carlisle Indian School
Graduate Killed in France
ERNEST W. KICK
Carlisle, Pa., May 21.—The first Car
lisle Indian School graduate to fall
while serving against the Germans in
France was Ernest W. Kick, a full
blooded Oneida, whose home is in
Oneida, Wis. A brief notice of the
"death in action" of the former stu
dent was received by officials at the
lo'jal government institution to-day.
Kick attended Carlisle and left here
in 1904. When the war broke out he
was living in Wisconsin and desiring
to 'dor his bit" In the war, crossed the
border and enlisted in the Canadian
expeditionary force at Starathroy, On
tario. He left Canada in April for the
front. Details of the way in which
he was killed are lacking.
Kick was a football man and an
•athletic star while at the school. He
was thirty years old at the time of
his death. The receipt of the news
created a profound impression at the
local institution and special memorial
services were held Sunday evening,
when the religious bodies of the
school met as part of the program
of the annual commencement.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
AHE SHIPPED IN BOXES
Three large electric locomotives,
weighing 120 tons each, were ship
ped recently from Erie, Pa., to
Chile, South America, in knock-down
rorm, being boxed for convenience
of shipment, according to the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. They are
intended for use in transporting iron
ore from the mines of an American
steel company at Tofo, Chile, 2,200
feet above the sea level, to Cruz
Grande, the nearest shipping port.
For a while the problem of getting
the engines to Chile baffled the traf
fic men, as they were too big and
too heavy to be taken aboard ship
intact. The only alternative was to
take them apart for shipment. When
this was done and the parts were
boxed it was found that each of the
locomotives occupied eight freight
cars and weighed 290,000 pounus.
There were 62 separato boxes, rang
ing in size from 50 feet to only a
few inches in length, the largest
weighing more than a ton before be
ing packed.
