12 TAXICAB DRIVER HATEDINLONDON Jle'll Take You to Your Desti nation Only If He Feels Like It London, June 27. —The taxicab driv er is the best hated, man In London. All through the war he rnled the staxl-rKling public with an Iron hand I and his sway, owing to the continued shortage of cabs, probably will have to be endured for many moro months. You may ride In a taxicab here only if the driver finds that your des tination suits his own convenience. His decision will be Influenced by his {quick prognosis of the amount of the : tip your appearance and manner ln i dlcate. If you look like a "close un" you will save time by joining a queue ifor a bus or throwing yourself into \lho maelstrom of a tube crowd, for ! dt is-certain you won't ride in a taxi- NCab. Any man bold enough to challenge •Hhe lofty authority of a taxicab driv i'-er wins instant popularity and draws 'about hiin a throng of admirers. So ; there were loud cheers and a rush rt<f the spot when a passenger the dove into an ernQty, ■ cab passing through fne Strand and jrefused the driver's demand that he heet out. The driver stopped his cab sand refused to budge. "Drive me to-Liverpool street. You isoan't refuse a fare," said the pas ksenger. "Cant I? Get out of my cab," re -1 torted the driver. A policeman pushed his way Why Actresses Never Grow Old Nothing concerning the profession seems more puzzling to the dear old 1 public than the perpetual youth of our feminine members.

"Sometimes at night it seemed as if I would smother," said Mrs. Louisa De Luca, of 325 South Front street, Steelton, Pa., wife of a well known grocery keeper there. "Trou ble with my liver caused me to be dizzy and sometimes I would faint or lie in a stupor," Mrs. De Luca ex plained when telling of her condi tion. "I had been a sufferer from stomach and liver trouble for years," she said, "and nothing seemed to Improve my condition. I told a friend about my bad condition. 'I know just the medicine you need,' ho said, and he brought me out a box of Natonex.

"No, I want to get to Liverpool street," was the mild reply. "Stick to It 1" the spectators urged the passenger. The crowd soon blocked the street. Tho driver leaned unconcernedly against the mudguard of his cab and lighted a cigarette. The faro reclined against the cushions. This continued for twenty minutes. The crowd be gan betting on the outcome. Odds were offered on the driver. "Well," said the passenger at last, rather weakly, "I think I've taught you a lesson." "Not going, are you?" sneered the driver. "Unfortunately, I have an appoint ment," the fare said to the crowd as he alighted, trying to cover his re treat. The taxicab driver topk his seat triumphantly and with a mocking toot of his horn drove away. He still was king. Police Chiefs Vote in Favor of Pension Fund Scrantnn.

During the session of 1917 appropria tion bills of all sorts were passed ag gregating between $85,000,000 and $86,000,000. During the past two years the activities of the Auditor General's Department were such that a largely Increased amount of reve nue was collected and covered into the State Treasury to the extent of our being convinced that the reve nues of the Commonwealth for the next two years would approximate $95,000,000. Since that conclusion was reached the present session of the Legislature passed some laws which will further Increase the State's revenues in the next two years to the extent of possibly $103,000.00 or $104,000,000. Based upon these latter figures the committee felt justified In recommending to the Legislature bills aggregating $104,000,000 and we fully expect that appropriation bills aggre gating that amount, which will In due course reach the Governor, will be approved by him. "Durigg the entire session both the Senate and House committees worked in complete harmony and In harmony with the administration. The extent to which this harmony has prevailed is most forcibly set forth In the fhet that conference committees have been appointed upon but two appropria tion bills during this session, a fact not known in previous sessions. The committee has had large problems with which to deal and feels that the work It has done will meet with the hearty approval by the people of the Commonwealth." - Snyder's Good \\ork It is interesting to note in connec tion with the management of the Auditor General's office under Charles A. Snyder, the present Auditor Gen eral. that at the end of his first full fiscal year in office, to wit, Novem ber 30," 1918, he collected, under the various laws providing for the reve nues of the Commonwealth, the sum of $44,165,368.74 as against the siitn of $31,700,489.35 collected during the last year of his predecessor, or an in crease of $12,464,879.39. During the same period disbursements were made to the amount of $42,407,064.30 as against $29,360,493.19 'during the previous year. At the end of the fis cal year the treasury also showed a balance of $9,888,988.55. The Auditor General, early in his administration adopted and put into practice a businesslike and scientific method of taxation as provided by the several Acts of Assembly. The result speaks for itself. The collec tions for the first half of the pres ent fiscal year amount to $23,556,- 771.70 indicating a total collection for the' present year of $47,113, 543.49, or an Increase of very close to $3,- -000,000 over the collections cf last year. CeaMrat ot Faade The Auditor General Is quite confi dent that a proper and businesslike application of the methods for the collection of the State's revenues will provide a very material Increase of the State's Income even under the preecnt laws. It should al**o bo borne In mind that the only additional ave nue for Income has been that of the direct Inheritance tax act of 1917, which during tho last fiscal year provided $2,643,462.13. As a matter of fact tho Auditor General Is quite confident that If the additional and helpful legislation as provided for in House Bills Nos. 1342, 1343, 1844, 1346 and 1346 shall become a law that a very material Increase can be looked for in tho State's in come, Under these several acts, de fects have been cured which existed under the several original Acts of Assembly which provided for the col lection of Capital Stock and Corpor ate Loans tax on domestic and for eign corporations. It should also be borne In mind that no legislation has beeft passed imposing any tax upon Capitol Stock of manufacturing corporations. These have always been exempted under the laws of Pennsylvania, as the State has continued to recognize the fact that the manufacturing companies have, by locating within the confines of the State, brought untold wealth and prosperity to the Commonwealth.

ENGINEERS REACHBALKANS Americans Will Better RaiJk road Conditions in Near East flalonlkl, June 27.—With American railway material arriving and Ameri can army engineers In the Balkans there Is now a prospect that rail way conditions In the Near East may soon be bettered. Heretofore the work of rebuilding the thousands of dynamited bridges and of repairing the hundreds of miles of twisted, up torn rirack In Serbia has progressed slowly. Serbian railroad engineers have been handicapped by lack of labor and material. At present it is a matter of from ten to fifteen days to cross Serbia from Salonikl to Bel grade. If one link of the motor truck service breaks down because of washed out roads or floods carry ing away bridges the whole work of the American Red Cross, the Ameri can Food Famine Commission and the Serbian Relief Fund workers is held up and a through journey to Bel grade or Salonlkt across country may require from fifteen days to a month. American Importers, however, should not figure on transporting freight overland through Serbia at this time. Railroads probably will not be regularly running until early In 1920. Belgrade is best reached via Trieste and Fiume rather than from Salonikl. American shippers will find the harbo>s and docks at Piaraeus (Athens), in Greece, at Salonikl and Constantinople crowded with freight. Lighterage is difficult to obtain. Con ditions are better at Constantinople than at Piraeus and Salonikl. At both these latter ports the traffic snarl is almost In a hopeless state. At Piraeus thousands of tons of Newfoundland codfish which were rotting on the docks have been thrown Into the ocean to make room for more urgent freight. With '.he Greek army still in the field there is a great shortage of labor throughout Greece. Japs to Send Students To U. S. to Study Trade Toklo, June 27.—The Department of Education is planning to send eighty students to the United States and Europe this year to study trade and industry. No such large number of students has ever been sent abroad by the Japanese government and it indicates a determination to more closely observe conditions in foreign lands so that Japan may benefit by all forms of modern progress.
