child vas suffering from a slight
attack of influenza. Dr. Bridges left
inodkine and departed. Four days
ago he wo£. called again to see the
child and spon liis arrival found
the boy in a deep stpor. The next
ilay Dr. Bridges again called and
found the child still asleep and
much harder to awaken, and ho
would eat nothing but broth and
liquids. The .isits were kept up and
on Friday morning Dr. Scheller was
notifieu and, with another physician,
went to the house where a thorough

by Fraudulent Paper
i Giecncastlo, Pu„ April B.—How
j ard Cook, aged 18 years, was ar
rested here on Saturday evening and
given a hearing before Squire J. R.
| Metcalfe, and later taken to the
j county jail at Chambersburg because
i he could not furnish bail for forging

i late Albert Snyder. Mr. Snyder died |
j two weeks ago and the night before

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

j The fact that he was working for
Mr. Shank was considered evidence

LONDON STIRRED
BY CRIME WAVE
YET UNCHECKED
Holdups, Murders and Rob
beries Claim Best Skill of
Scotland Yard
l.ondun, April B.—Spectacular hold
ups, mysterious murders and thrill
ing jewelry robberies are claiming
the best skill of Scotland Yard and
holding the attention of the London
public. 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.

NEWS OF £
TROLLEY RUNS
INTO ENGINE
Motorman Injured and Pas
, sengers Are Badly
Shaken Up
Ths f;\!irry crossing at tlie lower
end of town ut about 6.30 this morn
ing was the scene of what might
have been a serious accident. As it
was Motorman W. H. Gibbs was
injured, although not seriously, and
the passengers were somewhat
shaken. Middletown car No. 60.3,
with motorman Gibbs, was running
south in Front street approaching
the crossing, when a train of quarry
cars was being brought up from
the quarry towards the steel plant.
The locomotive was said to have j
been running very slowly. When the ;
trolley car came within 50 or more |
feet of the crossing, its speed was
checked but somehow or other the
car was not stopped entirely until
I it had run into the side of the loco
motive. The front of the trolley
was entirely ripped off. Why the
car was not stopped is not known,
as all the passengers seem to think
it was under the control of the mo
torman. The motorman was imme
diately rushed to the hospital where
his injuries are not thought seri
ous.

Men's Linen Handkerchiefs
Lower in Price Than Wholesale Cost
Linen handkerchiefs are scarce, except at high prices, and
it is only because of the large orders we placed with foreign
mills almost three years ago that we are now in position to
offer such uniformly good values for so little.
Prices Are 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c
Men's hemstitched plain linen handkerchiefs, with V 4 and Vi-inch
hem 25c
Men's line linen handkerchiefs, with % or ',i - inch hem, 85c; or
. 3 for 81.00,
Men's extra fine linen handkerchiefs 39c, 50c and 75c
Men's extra large hemstitched linen handkerchiefs 50c
Boys' all-linen hemstitched handkerchiefs, 18c; 3 for 50c.

COUNCIL DOES
LITTLE BUSINESS
Residents of Outlying Districts
Want Lights; Solcitor
to Question
Very little business of importance
was brought before the meeting of
the borough council last evening. A
request from residents of outlying
sections of the borough for light and
sewer facilities brought forth a mo
tion from Councilman Holder that
the borough solicitor be asked to
llnd some means of supplying the
demand without the borough meet
ing the great initial expense. A sim
ilar request was made for gas and
the solicitor was asked to determine
whether the gas company could be
compelled to furnish gas to such dis
j tricts in which but few houses are
I now built.
I A letter was received from the
; Philadelphia and Reading railway
notifying counicl provision had been
I made for continuous service of
watchmen at the Franklin, Cone
■ stoga and Trewiek crossings, as re
i quested by council at a former meet
ing.
Police reports showed a great re
| duction in tines, the fines for the
I past month having amounted to
only $41.30. The police regulations
j calling for a license fee of SSO per
year for every trolley car operated
over the borough streets, were re
ported as becoming effective April 1.
