"Architects of Appetites" We Never Close THURSDAY EVENING ALL NEWS OF T M'ADOO ISSUES LABOR ORDERS Advises Against Apparent Ar bitrary Action in Hand ling Wage Disputes Washington. Feb. 28.—Regional railroad directors have been caution ed against any action in labor dis putes which might appear arbitrary, said Director-General McAdoo in a statement issued last night, particu larly because railway labor men still have a suspicion that executives, while working under Government control, are seeking to discredit federal tr.aiiagement. The statement also discloses instructions given the regional directors on many other subjects. "You should bear in mind." say the instructions, "that labor has the very natural feeling that railroad man agers. although now working for the Government and on Government ac count, necessarily continue the same conception of and attitude toward la bor problems that they had when acting under private management. \\ Interruption "The general policy as to all labor is that there shall be no interruption of work because of any controversies between employers and employes." Most disputes. the instructions said, sholud be referred to the direc tor-general, who will deal with them through the railroad administration's division of labor, headed by W. S. Carter, or through the Railroad Waje Commission, said Mr. McAdoo. Mr. Carter now is considering the formation of a permanent mediation board to assist him in settling dis putes after the Wage Commission has completed its work and turned in its general recommendations on wage scales. Mr. McAdoo also has instructed the regional directors to investigate and report on the following subjects: Curtailment of passenger service, discontinuance of diminution of freight solicitation, elimination of the existing duplication of freight and passenger service, discontinuance of slowing down of fast freight service, unification of purchases and standardization of locomotives, freight cars and other equipment.

I have been permitted to live in and enjoy a land of public schools. colleges and churches. I have been protected in my rights in matters of religion and conscience, and in all of these years I have not been asked to make a single sacrifice for my Country. To-day my Country needs and calls for help, and am I to be one of those who selfishly take all and give nothing in return? Now to get to the practical part— "What am I doing to help win the war'.'" When war was declared I was the tirst on our street to fllns "Old Glory" to the breeze, and thus let all men know I was in sympathy with the war policies of my Govern ment.

NEW YORK, 55 Broadway Kindly send your literature to Name City Address State INSURANCE MEN HEAR DR.HUEBNER Life Underwriters Addr sscri at Annual Dinner by Noted Authority The function of life insurance is to provide a necessary income for the direct beneficiaries of the policy rather than to be handed down to the second or third generation, in which the policyholder who has paid the premiums by his qwn effort is only remotely interested. This was one of the thoughts ex pressed by Dr. Solomon S. Huebner, head of the insurance department of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, of the University of Pennsylvania, who spoke at the an nual dinner of the Central Pennsyl vania Association of Life Under writers at the Kngineers Club last evening. .More than fifty members, some of them graduates of the Wharton School, were present, and President A. A. Wert, of the associ ation, was toastmaster. Huebner, who is one of the most noted authorities on life in surance in the country, having founded the first insurance depart ment in any college fourteen years ago at the Wharton School, spoke for more than two hours on the sub ject, the Change of Economic Thought and How Life Insurance Meets It." Dr. Huebner's textbook on insurance is in use in evejv one of the seventy-four schools and uni versities where insurance courses are taught and more than 600 stu dents are now taking the insurance course in the Wharton School. I One of the points made by Dr. Illuebner in discussing the Import ance of disability clauses in life in surance was that "it is just as seri ous a matter for the dependants of a man if he die economically as if lie die actually." Dr. Huebner urged t.he underwriters to back up in every way possible the Govern ment's effort to have every soldier's life insured in the Federal fund. Notice Goes Out to Kill All Unlicensed Dogs All unlicensed dogs in the city and county must be killed. This was tho edict issued to-day at the county commissioners' office. According to the new law constables and police officers may shoot all dogs without licenses after January 15. Since that date only one report has been received showing that 23 ca nines in Steelton were killed. To-day the commissioners re ceived a letter from Charles K. Pat ton. Secretary of Agriculture, calling attention to the law. and included with it was a copy of a letter from ! I)r. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the (lame Commission, reporting that officers of that department had seen 28 unlicensed dogs in North Camer on street. The county officials said they will notify the mayor's office at once, and will send out notices to constables in county districts in a few days.
