Young Cook had been work | ing for Contractor Jacob Shank, I and he forged three checks on Mr. ! Shank, and raised one that he had | given him for $G to sl6. Three Greencastle merchants I cashed the forged checks, John i ' Phlllippy, J. Lesher & Son, and the i late Albert Snyder. Mr. Snyder died | j two weeks ago and the night before | his death Cook went into hiS shoe store, and bought a pair of shoes 'for $7. He gave a cheek for $lB j in payment that had apparently geen I issued by Shank, and received in : cash sll. j The fact that he was working for Mr. Shank was considered evidence I enough that the checks were good, | and Cook could have probably gone |on writing checks to suit his con j venience if the bank at which Mr. Shank deals had not discovered the ! foiged signature.

Not for many years if indeed ever —have the authorities been call ed upon to cope with such a wave of crime as that which has swept the metropolis since the beginning of (he year. While some arrests nave been made and some men punched, the police are hard put to keep pace with the criminals. So frequent have robberies become that London bankers have taken measures t,o meet possible raids on their cash counters, a proceeding hitherto unknown in the city. All cashiers have been instructed to keep cash out of sight instead cf dis playing it on bank counters The police in the neighborhood of im portant banking houses have 1 een ordered to be especially vigilant, particularly at the lunch hour. Ileglnning of Crime The prevalence of crime was first called to the attention of the au thorities when the newspapers made a sensation out of the sudden death of "Billie" Carlton, a favorite actress, who was found dead in her apart ment tlie morning after the larrous liberty ball several months ago. It developed that she had diel from sn ovoidose of a drug. An investiga tion showed that the practice of drug taking was increasing in the city and that "opium parties" were not uncommon. • Next the city was startled by the arrest of Lieut.-Col. Norman C. Ruth erford, of the army medical corps, charged with shooting to death Maj. Miles C. Seton, also of the medical corps, at the house of the major's cousin. Sir Malcom Seton in Holland Park. Tlie hearing of this case in court has not been concluded. Murders of less importance follow ed, each having some unusual fea ture. The city was again aroused a few weeks ago by the published statement that Maj. H. F. Chaney, of the Royal Air Force, had tried to kill his aged mother, at. Talgarth .Man sions, and had then hilled himself. Mrs Chaney was severely wounded, but hopes are entertained for her re covery Police investigation threw no light on the tragedy so far as the public was concerned. Major Chaney was one of the best-known offlfficers of the British air force, having been the inventor of the camera gun with which cadets were trained in aerial gunnery. O' robberies there have been many. Holdups have taken place in the west end and in the suburbs at night, while scores of houses and apartments have been robbed in the most clever manner. Planning Reception For Soldiers at Chambersburg Chambersburg, Pa., April 8. — The c hamber of Commerce lias taken the lead in planning for a fit ting reception for the returning sol diers and sailors of this community as is shown by the arrangements made by the entertainment commit tee of the Chamber which were re cently made known. A Victory din ner has been planned to be held in Hotel Washington on Monday even ing, April 14, at which the local rep resentative and a large number tot local citizens will be present and at which time plans will be made for tflie reception. The Chamber has se cured as the speaker at this dinner, Giflord Pinc'not, the government for est conservationist. John W. Hoke, of Chambersburg, will be the other speaker on the porgram. PENSION FUNDS ARE AID TO MOTHERS [Continued from First Page.] cidod'.y timid of that expression. The class of unfortunate that this agency helps is the unusual. For example, in the north of this county, I shall not indicate the town, we are con tributing $4 6 a month to a widow whose husband died with the influ enza. leaving the wife and eight children. The youngest, child Is one week old. the eldest 18 years." Investigations Made The most careful investigation is made when a case is suggested and accurate records are kept, which must be turned into the Bureau of Education for O. K. The recipient must give her account day by day, and byway of illustration Miss llauck gave a few items of the fam ily of eight just mentioned. They show for March 6 milk. 10c; mid dlings, $3.50; sugar, 57c; electric light, $1.60. The living bill for March 29 was: Milk, 10c; eggs, 35c; polish, 15c; baby nipple, 6c; coal, $6.65; stockings, 25c. The family of eight children had to spend exactly $89.82 to live through the month of March, but they only had $52.60 to pay the bill. So here slopped in the As sistance Fund and made the ends meet. It is interesting to note that Eva. oldest girl in this family, earns $1.40 for one week's work; John and Ben, brothers, earn, respectively, $6 and $4.30 a week. For children un der 16 years of age the association is permitted to give sl2 a month, for the next child $8 and the next $6. Mrs. John P. Lelir, who is in charge at her home town, Lykcns, has had the rush of this whole Dau phin district, taking care of thirty seven cases in the last few weeks and using over SB,OOO in the aid which was so timely. "The mines only work three days a week," she explained, "and factories are shut ting down. Every person we helped was worthy, with many children, who craved to stay under their mothers' care. The persons who ac cept generally plead that, only the direst need could compel them to accept this help, and we try to apply It as gently as possible so as not to offend. But it is truly saving hun dreds of homes from disintegration and perhaps destruction." Cliancc For Education The children benefited by this aid are expected to go to school, but, if absolutely necessary for the support of the home, a child at 14 may be excused, providing the sixth grade has been passed. The teachers make out accurate reports on each of these and the Fund can thus keep track of how its patrons are re sponding: to the aid. Mrs. T.yman Gilbert emphasised the fine results that are coming from this activity in the line of Americanization. Many foreign people are being benefited under this aid and, with the schools help ing, the foreigners begin to respond to American methods very speedily. Home of the cases reached are al most Incredible. One woman was MAY THROW OPEN MEXICAN BORDER TOWNS WHEN U. S. BECOMES DRY NEXT JULY Movement on to Open International Bridge and ltun Wcek ' End Excursion Trains Into the Mexican Cities By Associated Press. i Laredo, Texas, April B.—Whether' Mexican cities along the border will j become bases for "international drinkers" when America adopts pro hibition in July has not been de-1 termlned, despite some leanings in this direction, A movement recently was started to have passport restrictions remov ed, throw open the international bridge and run weekend excursion trains into Mexico. It was proposed 1 to establish big gambling houses, ! cockpits, bull rings and pretentious drinking emporiums. American bus- ; iness men vigorously protested on the ground that the trains passing through American towns would bring only a reputation for lawless ness. The Mexican government has not indicated its attitude in the matter and seems disposed to let the liqour problem solve itself. Local officials are represented as not wishing to found who has been supporting, first' one husband, then another, at wash- ! ing for twenty-eight years. Both j men fathered big families and this hard-working woman was too proud j to ask for help until 'death threat-1 ened her. The last husband had ! succumbed to "flu" and she was left j penniless, in debt, with children not; old enough to work. It is the general opinion of the j llarrisburg Mothers' Assistance! Fund that it is accomplishing ex-1 ac-tly what was intended, namely, i making a mother a monthly allow-1 ance which enables her and her | children to live in a decent and self- | respecting way; by monthly visits to j the family and establishing friendly j relations with them: advising and instructing the mothers as to the j wise expenditure of their money,' helping the mother by kindly hints! in regard to nutritious, wholesome [ diet for the children; by looking ; carefully after the health of the! mother and children, seeing that i eyes, teeth and general health have! proper professional care; receiving! monthly reports of all school chil-l jdren and co-operating with the! teachers.
