LEGISLATIVE SESSION JUST CLOSED ONE OF THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE MEETINGS OF PENNSYLVANIA LAW MAKERS EVER HELD (Continued from Pago 10.) Ed indebtedness has been paid, after which the tax levy shall not exceed eight mills. The teacher's retirement fund au thorized bv the last Legislature has '-•en given an appropriation this time of $750,000. It is figured that this is sufficient to run it until the appropriations of the next legisla ture are available. An important piece of school legis- , lation in the hands of the Gov- i ernor is contained in the Lantus b'll. providing for the special education of certain children incapable ot | proper instruction in the regular ; classes of the public schools, it is made the duty of the secretary of ; the school board, teachers and at- j tendance otticers in eveiy school dis- ■ trict to report to the medical in- j spector of the district and to the i district or county superintendent of , schools, on or before October 1•> ot each year, every child within the j district between the ages of eight | and sixteen years who is gravely | retarded in his or her school work, j or who because of apparent excep- j tional physical or mental conditions is not being properly educated.

Special | schools for the training of these I children must be provided, it being 1 permitted for districts to join in ■ their establishment. Provision is j made for the State to pay part of j the expense of these special schools. The Ramsey bill designed to as- J sist worthy young men and women graduates of secondary schools, to obtain higher education, is before | the Governor, it provides that the i S'ati • .will award competitive ■ scholarships of SIOO a year for four j years to enable selected students to | attend any institution in the State I approved by the college and univer j sity council. The State Board of I Education will make the appoint- I ments to the scholarships after an I examination conducted by it. One j scholarship will he given to each I county and in a county where there | is more than one Senatorial dis j trict, a scholarship will be awarded j each district. The bill carries an appropriation of $16,000. George W. I McCandless, of Pittsburgh, was | much interested in securing the • passage of this legislation. The following bills amending the school code have been approved by the Governor: Authorizing the State Board of Education to make purchase and sales of real estate or other prop erty for normal schools purchased by the State. Adding instruction in safety first methods to the course of study in the elementary public schools of the ■State. Requiring every child having a legal residence in Pennsylvania and who is between the ages of eight and sixteen years, to attend a day school in which the common En glish branches are taught in the English language. Requiring all school boards of the State to pay teachers in addi tion to compensation provided for in their contract. $4 a day for each day's actual attendance at the an nual teacher's institute. Allowing the school directors of each district to appoint one of their number as a delegate to the State convention of school directors and pay his necessary traveling and hotel expenses. Making a constable, county super intendent or assistant county super intendent ineligible to hold the of fice of school director. Requiring the State Superintend ent of Public Instruction to "pre scribe a course of instruction con ducive to the spirit of loyalty and devotion to the State and National governments which shall be taught in all the public schools ot the State." In every school district required to provide medical inspection for its schools, the secretary of the board or the district superintendent of schools shall on or before September 1 of each year report to the Com missioner of Health the names of the medical inspectors or the name of the chief medical inspector with the number of assistants or ad ditional inspectors appointed for the ensuing term. The Governor has before him the Martin bill broadening the pro visions of the school code relating to the use of school grounds and build ings for social, recreation and other proper purposes. His amendment would allow the board of any dis trict upon the petition of the resi dents of the district, equal to one fifth of the number of pupils at tending the schools, to permit the use of the building and grounds for social and recreational purposes, providing the use would not be of a sectarian character nor under sec tarian control. Appropriations for these purposes may be made by the boards. The proposed act would be effective at once. Two great administration projects which are authorized by this Leg islature are the erection of a Sol diers' and Sailors' Memorial bridge at Harrisburg and the construction of an oftice building in Capitol Park extension and the beautifying of the grounds. The bridge is given an initial apropriation of $750,000 and $1,250,000 is set aside for the other improvements. Both measures are in the hands of the Governor. The creation of a State Art Com mission is one of the Sproul ideas that has been written into a law. It provides for a commission of five citizens to be appointed by the Gov ernor to • .ork in conjunction with the Commissioners of Grounds and Buildings and to serve without pay. One of the important ideas of the Governor which has been enacted into law is the creation of a com mission of twenty-five citizens of the State to be appointed by the Gov ernor to be known as the Commis- sion on Constitutional Amendment and Revision, one member to be designated as the chairman. Gen eral amendments to the constitu tion are proposed. One of the very important achieve ments of Governor Sproul was the ratifllation of the prohibition amend ! iticnt to the Federal Constitution. The "dry" forces had a large num ber of votes, but lacked a majority in both branches. These votes were produced and Pennsylvania was added to the list of States ratifying. As a candidate Mr. Sproul had pledged himself to bring about rati fication and the promise was re deemed. Sedition Bill One of the most important ad ministration measures is the Flynn bill defining sedition. It was de feated in the House last week be cause a number of members were afraid they would offend "labor" by voting for it. There is nothing in the measure to injure real Amer icans. The legislation simply fur nishes the machinery for getting after the element in society that is j endeavoring to destroy the present . form of government. The Governor knows the necessity for the pro posed law and used the influence at his command to get the bill through the Legislature. It is now on his desk. Its provisions follow: Workmen's Compensation Bills reorganizing the Workmen's Compensation Bureau. increasing the schedule of compensation and providing for a bureau of rehabili tation are in the hands of the Gov ernor. The legislation goes to him ie Just about the shape the Gov ernor desired it, all attempts to make mdical changes having been successfully blocked by the admin istration. The bill increasing rates fixes S2O a week as the maximum upon which compensation is to be based. The maximum compensation to be allow ed for total disability is advanced from fifty to sixty per cent, of the weekly wage. The maximum is in creased from $lO to sl2 and the minimum from $5 to $6 in the weekly amount allowed an injured employe. The waiting period dur ing which an injured employe re ceives no compensation is reduced from fourteen to ten days. The period for which an employer must furnish medical treatment is in creased from fourteen to thirty days. In case a widow receiving compen- j sation remarries, she would be paid one-third of the compensation due. i not to exceed 100 weeks. The I method of computing the average weekly wage of an injured employe as contained in the bill when it was sent to the Legislature by the At torney General was restored before it was finally passed. The Bureau of Rehabilitation is charged with obtaining positions for those who because of injury have been inacpacitated and earning power reduced. Arrangements would be made with educational in stitutions for special courses for in jured for which the State would pay not more than sls a week for twenty weeks. The bureau would furnish at cost artificial limbs to injured workers and supply special treatment for those physically dis abled. Visits would be made to the homes of the injured by agents of the bureau and advice and as sistance given. The fourth administration bill of the compensation series was never pushed and allowed to die in com mitter. It would have levied a two per cent, tax on the insurance of corporations carrying their own compensation insurance. A bill cre ating a commission to study indus trial accidents was d. <- ed. Third Class City IJT* LU Son The important third cl<-ss city leg islation approved was contained in the Wallace bill amending the Clark act to correct a number of defects which had been found by the city solicitors. It places the terms of all officials on a four-year basis. The Governor has in his hands the. Wilison bill repealing the nonpartisan election law in third class cities. A number of third class city bills of minor importance were passed. Motor Legislation Several important measures relat ing to motor vehicles were passed by thi6 Legislature. The most impor tant is the Dithrieh bill which deals with the registration fees. It is es timated that it will increase the rev enues from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 a year. The receipts of the depart ment in 1918 were $4,000,000. The Dithrieh bill replaces the act of 1913. It places the registration fees for pleasure vehicles at forty cents per horsepower, an increase of approximately twenty per cent. All trucks under 2,000 pounds are reg istered by the horsepower and above that are licensed by the weight of the chassis. Trucks are divided into seven classes, according to weight, with fees running from S2O to $l5O. The present charge is from $5 to $25. A limit of 26,000 pounds is placed on the gross load of truck. The width is limited to ninety inches and the length to twenty-eight feet. A speed limit is placed on each class of trucks. Another provision of the bill regulates the use of lights and prohibits muffler cutouts. The speed limit in the open country is in creased from twenty-four to thirty miles an hour, and municipalities are allowed to place a limit of fif- Icen miles an hour within their cor porate bounadries. This bill is in the hand? of the Governor. Numer ous efforts were made during the progress of this bill to inject amend ment? which would have weakened it, i.ul Governor Sproul barred the way and stood right back of the ef forts of the Pennsylvania Motor Federation to put this legislation through. This is generally accepted as tne most comprehensive motor c-odo in the United States. Other hills in the hands of the Governor include the Cox measure licensing second-hand motor ve hicle dealers and regulating the sale of used cars; the Williams bill au thtilzing the revocation of licenses for violations of Public Service Com pai.t law relating to common car riers operating without a certificate of public convenience the Palmer bill making it a felony to wilfully or maliciously burn or cause to be l-urned, or set fire or attempt to set fire to motor vehicles. Two important automobile bills approved by the Governor are the Holtingsworth measure making it a fe'rny to take or stehl motor ve hicles or to purchase them knowing they have been stolen, the penalty being a fine of not more than $5,- 000 or imprisonment of not more than te"n years, and the Mearkle bill requiring lights on all vehicles ex cept farm* machinery between one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise. This later measure has been before the. Legislature for irony years, and the farmers have always been able to defeat it. Now they are motor owners and in har mony with the law. Another bill signed by the Gov ernor is important to owners of au tomobiles as it is designed to get after the person who brings a stolen machine into the State. It provides that if any person shall receive or bring into Pennsylvania or assist in bringing any goods, chattels, moneys or securities or any other matter or thing, knowing or having reasonable cause to know the same to have been stolen or feloniously taken in any other State, such per sons shall be guilty of a felony and subject ,to a fine not exceeding SSOO and Imprisonment /not exceeding three years. LIFE INSURANCE MEN PLAN FOR CO-OPERATION Central Pennsylvania Associa tion Adopts Chart of Ethics Co-operation in insuring lives rather than undercutting competitve methods that tend to make men for get the principles back of the in stitution of life insurance was pledged by members of the Central Pennsylvania Association of Life Underwriters last night at a dinner meeting held in the Penn-Harris hotel. The outstanding feature of the meeting was the adoption by the Central Pennsylvania Association of the "Chart of Kthies" for life insur ance agents prepared by the Na tional Association of Life Under writers. Adoption of the chart followed an address on life insurance aims and purposes by Charles W. Scovel. of Pittsburgh, author of the National Association chart. "The interests of insurers, the insured and the gen eral public are identical," declared Mr. Scovel, "because scientific life insurance is a co-operation, all the lives insuring each other. Its com panies belong—many wholly, others mainly—to the policyholders them selves, $35,000,000 now and grow ing steadily. "Life insurance," Mr. Scovel de clared, "is a co-operative social in stitution, differing in essence and practice from a commercial busi ness. Its agents do not sell a com modity: they solicit fit applicants who need its varied, life-long serv ices and advice in applying them. "There are only two other social institutions, making for the upward trend of the race to an equal de gree as the institution of life insur ance and they are the church and the state. Life insurance keeps wom en from the hardest kind of degrad ing drudgery, keeps y.oung girls off the street and young men out of the workhouse more efficiently than any institution of man. T need but point to the fact that American life in surance has reduced pauperism eighty per cent in the last forty years to prove the statement I have .lust mgde. The chart ethics ndoptcd by the local ffssociation insists upon truly professional practice at all points, real service to the insured: holding confidential all affairs of men inter viewed: no misrepresentation or he fuddlingwith forms, figures and deails of policy or company: no rebating or other discrimination: no twisting of one company's policy for another; shunning of unfair competition. It puts the ban on spotters, tipsters, one-case brokers and other "rake off men" and provides for the elim ination of so-called "part-timers" except where they are honestly pre paring to become full-fledged life in surance men. A law and comity committee will be appointed by the association to keep track of all lawbreakers who are found doing business within Central Pennsylvania. State Insurance ' Commissioner Thomas Donaldson addressed the life men on co-operation between the companies, the men in the field and the department. "There are no insurance laws on the books of Pennsylvania which any honest man need fear," said Mr. Donaldson. Lincoln K. Passmore, vice-presi dent of the Penn Mutual Company, greeted the members of the associa tion and declared that the remark 7ft DAY FOR7DAYS If Yonr Nerrcs Are Shaky Because of Over-Indulgenoe in Tobacco or Alcohol or by Excess of Any Kind. Bio-Feren is What You Need Bight Away. Don't grow old before your time, don't let nervousness wreck your happiness or chances in life.

FASCINATING TEETH How Every Woman Can Quick ly Charm Her Friends With Lovely Teeth, Clean, White and Brilliant If you want the cleanest of white teeth and healthy gums free from disease, an easy and quick way to get both is to use a tooth paste so effective and per fect that astonishing results usu ally come in a week's time.

Eckenrode, president of the association, was toastmaster of the occasion.
