My coal bill runs me $4 or $5 a month on the average. The light is $1.50 on the average. My life insurance costs me SSjU week. 1 don't ordinarily have a lot of money left out of my pay when the bll|s are all paid. Hut, 1 figure that I'm giving money in that life insurance, and so I haven't paid much attention to savings .tveounts or things of that sort. The other day the wife said to me: "Paul." did you ever stop to think that while you're taking care of me and the children if you die you're not taking care of you and me if you live'.' It's this way: why can't we save some money for you and me — the same as ■ you are saving money for me and the children through the life insurance?" "A fat chance," says I. "We can take some of the money we throw in explicitly with having brought down an allied airplane. Taptain Von Richthoten came into prominence as leader of "flying cir cus." a squadron of German aviators which fought in a peculiar circular formation, following each other around so that in case one was at tacked the next flyer could sweep the antagonist from the rear. Recently Emperor William conferred upon him the Order Of the Red Eagle.

"Nope,' she said, "Not that. But we can pay for bonds like lots of other peoptf are doing—s2 a week on a SIOO bond. We won't miss that. You < spend that much money for candy and .tobacco. Let's cut our candy and tobacco down and put the s2.where it will come back to us — and in 50 little old weeks we'll have SIOO that we wouldn't have had." Well, that's what we did—two weeks ago. We got $4 paid on that SIOO bond. Here's a funny thing. We're still having some candy and tobacco, and the wife said to me Sun day, "Let's JJU.V another SIOO bond, and cut out some more things 50-50." So that's wjhat we're going to do. listen, I ddn't claim to be so dad blame patriotic, when I tell you this. But I claim ;that you can say I'm 50- jiO patriotism and looking after No. 1.

KNOW BONES ARE IN CELLAR BY CAT [Continued from First Page.] Children's bones, a grave long hid from sight, a dark hole In the cellar and a black cat which was never seen by thq family until last night when it posed on the foot of a bed, are the principal features of inter est in the strange case. The Bierbowers called the police station to-day and informed the desk officer that human bones were found in the cellar. Investigation showed a fresh mound of earth in a dark corner of a dark partitioned space of the cellar .and when the reporter dug, lie unearthed anotTier bone. A real bone. Importer's Kilis Lurge "And you can't tell me," said Mrs. P. HamXcin, who rooms there, "That that's not a human bone." Reposing tastefully on the window sill of the kitchen were three more human (?) bones. "They're ribs anyone can see that 1 ' exclaimed Mrs. Hamilton again. The reporter / felt his side reflectively. "My ribs are larger than that," ho said. "Anyway." said the woman, "the police think they're bones, and it's nothing to make fun of." AnywaS - , the family's moving. "Who can blame us?" they say. Human bones are not pleasant com panions. ! "Did you scream when you saw ;i black oat on the foot of your bed | last night?" Mrs. Hamilton was , asked. , "Scream," she asked, "I should say not. I ducked under the lied clothes." The cat. Mrs. Hamil ton said, was a total stranger to her, j and she thinks it a strange thing that it should appear in her room. That ; means bad luck —or bones. This j time it meant bones. The reporter suggested the bones | might be those of a cat. a cat that's I related to the black cat that in ' vaded Mrs.. Hamilton's rooms. Mrs. I Hamilton sniffed. "Reporters don't known everything," was the way the reporter was informed that his theo- I ry didn't amount to anything. HARRISBURS TELEGRAPH Harrisburg Point of Distribution For Five States, Dowdell Reports Harrisburg has been made the dis tributing point for five states by the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. Ralph W. Dowdell, the manager for the Harrisburg district, told the members of the Rotary Club at luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. to-day. Mr. Dowdell had as his guests rep resentatives of the Burroughs com pany from a number of surrounding cities and gave a moving-pitture demonstration of the invention and growth of the adding machine indus try in the United States. The indus trial pictures were preceded by a group of cartoon films going back into the earliest methods of book keeping that were impressive as well as laugh-provoking. John Heathcote presented as his guests at the luncheon Lieutenant Allen and Sergeant White, of the British-Canadian Recruiting Commis sion, who are here on recruiting duty, and they were given a rousing reception. Patriotic Services Held in All City Churches Yesterday's patriotic services in all j churches of Harrisburg were a most significant events, though few realized , It. To- bring the nation together in i one colossal first aid, to impress the ! I necessity of team-work, to make pa- j trlotism synonomous with worship for | the moment are objects that must be I brought about and services In the | church are one big medium. Many of the houses of worship were beau tifully decorated with Old Glory brightly gleaming from every wall, und in many churches the battle flags of the allies were also displayed. These did not subtract anything from the solemnity of the house of Clod but only tended to make the patriot's heart | burn more warmly. Furthermore, the preachers, no matter how orthodox or cautious of innovations, did not hes itate to frankly call for Liberty Bond contributions; for saving food, and in fact, a great population was reach ed and impressed by these services who may not have been convinced until a later time. Bringing the war close to home and fantlly and stir ring man. woman and child to sac rifice is what these ministers are ef fecting by such services. Not a preacher t.o-dar but expressed his great enthusiasm and appreciation for the way in which this innovation was responded to.

Thomas, recently dismissed from the University of Chicago after being ar rested at a hotel where he had reg istered with Mrs. R. M.
