SATURDAY EVENING,
SAFETY FIRST IN
CROSSING CASES
Dissenting Opinion by Com
missioner Rilling in Ma
hanoy City Case
"The matter of expense Is one of
the Important Items to be consid
ered, but it is not the controlling
factor" asserts Public Service Com
missioner John S. Rilling: in an opin
ion dissenting: from the finding of
the majority of the members of the
Publio Service Commission in a
Mahanoy grade crossing case which
has Just been printed. Mr. Killing
calls attention to the fact tjiat twen
ty-live of the 195 persons killed at
grade crossings last year wore struck
at crossings protected by safety
gates.
"More accidents occur at country
than city grade crossings. Great as
lias been the danger incident to grade
crossings In the past, it will be great
ly increased in the future, not only
on account of the greater use by
both the railroads and the public,
but also on account of tlie change
of conditions," says he. "The auto
mobile has revolutionized travel
upon the public highways of our
State. The public not only from
our own State but from our sister
States now travel by this means and,
therefore, go into new surroundings
where they have no knowledge of lo
cal conditions or the dangers await
ing them. No matter how careful
they may be they are subjected at
every grade crossing to a certain
risk. Our State is spending millions
of dollars upon its highways and
extends an invitation to all to visit
our State and enjoy its scenic beauty
and note our great industrial and
agricultural development. Our Com
monwealth owes to the traveling
public the duty to so maintain its
highways as to minimize all danger.
This canndt be done more effectively
than through a policy whereby the
most dangerous grade crossings are
eliminated and the remaining ones
properly protected."
Mr. Rilling says that in the case in
point three grand juries condemned
the crossing and that he thinks the
commission should have adhered to
Its former action in regard to the
crossing.

GOVERNOR CALLS
FOR ECONOMIES
Issues Proclamation
People Not to Burden
Delivery Systems
People of Pennsylvania were to
day called upon by Governor Brum
baugh in a proclamation to relieve
the burden upon the merchants by
carrying home their parcels when
possible and not to ask for special
deliveries.
The Governor makes half a dosen
suggestions for economy in service
and in commodities in the following
proclamation:
WHEREAS. The National
Government has given counsel
to our citizens to tho end that
the greatest economy of service
and of commodities shall be
practiced by our people, and
WHEREAS, It is proper and
fitting that each one should
willingly in this war crisis
practice strict economy and
lend aid in lessening the cost
of necessities and in simplify
ing the distribution of commo
dities, and
WHEREAS, Tho burden of
delivery now placed upon retail
merchants not only increases
the cost to the consumer, but
adds very materially to the
equipment of these retailers;
NOW, THEREFORE, I Mar
tin Grove Brumbaugh, Gover-
N nor of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, do hereby call up
on and urge our people to ob
serve as fully as possibly the
following suggestions;
Whenever possible carry home
all parcels purchased in any re
tail store.
Accept uncomplainingly, as a
patriotic duty, deliveries that
have been delayed in these war
times due to the fact that many ,
of th trained forces of the re
tailers are now in the service of
their country.
Do not demand special deliv
eries of purchased'items and so
plan as to have as few deliveries
as possible.
Do not ask to have goods
sent home on approval. Be
sure you mean to retain the
articles before you purchase
them.
In case return Is necessary
bring back to the store your
self ajl such goods as are port
able: and, in general, plan your
purchasing in such ways as will
reduce the cost of delivery to
a minimum, thus serving your
country and learning the les
son of personal sacrifice as an
essential part of your patriotic
support of the general welfare
In this war period.

A special treat to the patrons of the

Douglas Fairbanks In his newest and
funniest offering, "Down to Karth,"
released by Artcraft Pictures, and
which will be the attraction on Labor

this film the energetic Douglas not
only excels all his previous etforts on
the screen, but at the same time
proves his ability as an author, in
which respect he is juSt as distinc
tive as his acting. In fact, this photo
play is "very much Fairbanks," so to
speak, for he wrote It himself.

PIGGERY FED ON WASTE
FAVORABLY RECEIVED
t Continued from First Page.]
experience, is now turning garbage
Into a valuable food product and at
the same time just about paying the
cost of garbage collection.
The city is one of the old and well
established ones in New England,
with a population of about 175,000. It
is an industrial city with many diver
sified industries, but with no unusual
characteristics. Its foreign popula
tion, according to the 1910 census, Is
only 33.5 per cent.
Started In Small Way
The description of the Worcester
system follows, in part:
"In 1872 the superintendent of the
municipal poor farm began sending a
wagon into the city now and then to
collect enough garbage to feed the
pigs. The work developed with the
growth of the city until to-day about
seventy per cent, of the garbage of
Worcester (twenty to thirty tons a
day) is taken to the home farm and
fed to 2,000 to 3.000 pigs. The garbage
disposal has developed and continued
along this line for a longor time than
has usually been the case in American
municipalities. There has been a
striking absence of unwise and unsuc
cessful experiment.
"The hom£ farm consists of about
376 acres owtled by the city. In addi
tion, the city leases a farm of 220
acres at a rental of $1,500 a year.
The farm is located in the northeast
ern part of the city. To get to it the
garbage teams from the center of the
city have to pass over a ridge about
140 feet high.
Divide City Into Districts
"The city is divided into twenty-one
districts, from which the garbage is
collected twice a week without charge
to the householders or businessmen.
There is also a special collection for
the fish offal and rotten eggs from
markets and commission holies,
which collection is made daily in spe
cial cans with tight-fitting covers.
These cans are provided by the deal
ers. Since this material is not fed'
to swine but is buried, no revenue
is derived from it and it is a direct
tax on the scavenger department of
$1,760 per year."
Private collectors are allowed to
operate, but the arrangement between
them and the city is not entirely sat
isfactory, it is said. For city col
lectors one load is considered a day's
work and the average haul is thirteen
miles. The average time for collec
tion from one house is 1.65 minutes,
maximum 3.9 and minimum .4 minute.
Special regulations strictly enforced
require householders to provide wa
tertight receptacles, covered at all
times, and no person is allowed to de
posit water,, dishwater not excepted,
ashes, glass, sweepings oymter or clam
shells, sawdust, corkdust, old boots
or shoes, dead animals, etc,
Tuke Every Precaution
Sanitary piggeries are maintained,
with one man in charge of the entire
herd. The hogs are Inoculated against
cholera. Other precautions are taken
to guard against hoof and mouth dis
ease and to keep the pens in the best
possible condition.
These are cleaned daily and the
cleanings taken to a compost heap
which is Inclosed by concrete walls.
After an experiment a system was
found to prevent any objectionable
odor from the heap and at the same
time obtain a good fertiliser. After
a certain time some of the hogs are
turned outdoors and improve the farm
in cleaning off the scrub from waste
lar.d and improving It. Two care
takers are provided for each piggery
and each caretaker can handle about
250 to 300 pigs a day.
In tables given in the accpunt by
Professor Bonnet, it Is shown that the
actual cost of collection and disposal
lor one year is $60,435 and the income
from the sale of swine about $60,000.
Among experts quoted as favoring
the svstem ae Dr. Charles V. Cha
pln, health officer of Providence,
R. I.; Dr. Edward Cahill, of the Mas
sachusetts Bureau of Animal Indus
try; Robert Spurr Weston, Boston,
who has had to deal with tfe garbage
disposal of a large sanitorium.
Collection anil Disposal
In the September issue of Municipal
Engineers, an account on "Refuse Col
lection and Disposal" I* given in
which specialists of the Department
of Agriculture of the Federal govern
ment express the hope that as the
thrift idea gains ground and less fat
Is thrown into the garbage that the
recovery of profits by reduction will
hardly be worth while. "This will
mi an that a lot of excellent and val
uable foodstuffs now being wasted as
fcod will never get into the garbage
pall. Even when all fat Is eliminated,
however, and the waste of bread and
cereals and meat has bean reduced
to a minimum, the garbage pall nev
ertheless wilt contain in the form of
parings, plate scraps and trimmings
a vast amount of material tvhlch muat
be disposed of by incineration, burial
or feeding to domestic animals," the
specialists believe.
It Is also suggested that the city
food chemist analyze the city garbage
from week to week and publish what
He finds as an index of food saving
and waste In the community. One of
the first results from this careful
analysis It Is said should be the pas
sage of more rigid enforcement of
garbage collection ordinances, requir
ing that no glass, tin, wood, burnt
matches, paper, string or inorganio
trash be mixed with the vegetable ma
terial, meat scraps and bones which
can be used ft>r feed.
In connection with the account
there is given a report showing thai
the cost of hauling garbage In San
Antonio. Texas, was recently reduced
fifty par cant, by the uaa of automo-
tile truck* and trailers, doubling the
efficiency of collection service.
The success of a piggery with 82a
hogs, maintained by the Hull, Mass.,
authorities for garbage disposal Is
explained also. Officials of the United"
States Department of Agriculture and
of the • Massachusetts Agricultural
College report the system as practical.

missing. For, O Boss, let me say to
you that when the boys pop out a
little fly with their well-known bras
sies, and override the green thirty
yards with their well-known mislile
noblocks, then anything within
range Is roasted. But when, after a
foozle, I look wisely at the foozler,
show my teeth and make believe that
I am not trying to laugh, the result
is wonderful. And If at the punch
bowl hole I quietly turn my back
when the little gullolof ball rolls over
the green into the woods then the
angry heat of resulting passion will
toast mo to a turn."
"By the way," asked the c. e.,
"do you speak German?"
"Not lately," vaudevilled the re
porter. "Why?"
I "I was just going to tell you a good
way to get yourself toasted," said the
city editor, "but Monday will do."
