MUST GET MONEY I
TO GIVE SERVICE
Trolley Companies to Be Al
lowed to Make Ends
Meet
The Public Service Commission in
an exhaustive opinion by Chairman
W. D. B. Ainey has authorized the
Waverly, Sayre and Athens Traction
Company to charge a seven-cent
fare, holding that public service
companies are entitled to sufficient
revenue to permit them to furnish 1
transportation to the public.
The company filed notice of a six
cent fare in April of last year and
in October advanced the fare to
seven cents. The complaints against
the Increases alleged they were un
rasonable. The financial statement
of the company showed increased
costs of operating and no dividends
paid on the stock. No valuation
was deemed necessary by the Com
mission.
In ruling on the case the decision
says; "To expect public service of I

MORE RED BLOOD AND STEADIER
NERVES EOR RON DOWN PEOPLE
The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous,
Keen-Minded, Men and Women
It has been said of Americans that they work their habits over
lime.
Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork.
By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body
fef needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alco
holic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers
so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women
fit to be of help to themselves and others.
It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman
with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor,
the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid
excesses,
Timtdness, despondency, fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and
even cowardliness, are due in a large measure to abused nerves.
People with plenty of red blood corpascles and strong, healthy nerves hay®
no desire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and support.
There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organic
disease) in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vigorous
and energetic in body in a very few weeks and at trifling cost.
To become strong and ambitions, to feel that w>ork is not drudgery; to
have steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power of endurance; to be not
only a man but as men now go, a superman, you must take seven tablets of
Bio-feren every day for seven days—and take them faithfully.
Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days take
one only after meal until the supply is exhausted.
Then if you feel that any elalm made In this special notice is untrue—lf
your nerves are not twice as steady as before; if you do not feel ambitious,
more vigorous and keen-mlndcd, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to
you will gladly hand you back just what you paid for them.
Bio-feren Is without doubt the grandest remedy for nervous, rundown,
weak, anaemic men and women ever offered direct through druggists and is
not at all expensive. All druggists in this city and vicinity have a supply on
hand—sell many pack." es.

these carriers (street railway com
panies) without permitting them
sufficient revenues to produce it is
as fallacious an economic suggestion
as to demand bricks without straw
or to require faithful toil from the
muzzled ox. It is, therefore, a mat
ter of ordinary . business prudence
and sagacity that the public gener
ally should come to an appreciative
understanding of what that service
means to the industrial and com
mercial life of the State and to each
locality within it and to recognize
that the terms upon which it can
be continued for their use and en
joyment are that it shall receive at
their hands as ratepayers revenues
large enough in amount to pay op
erating costs, a fair return and pro
vide for the maintenance of the
property, provided always that the
rates imposed are not unjust or un
reasonable."
The decision of Chairman Ainey
directs that the complaints be dis
missed, but that the company is to
make monthly reports to the Com
mission of its passenger revenues,
operating expenses and the number
of passengers carried for the re
mainder of the current fiscal year
and for that period which is passed.

! ON HONOR ROLL
I Middle Division Engincnian
; Ends Record Career; Thou
sands Hauled by Him
SAMUEL M. HERTZLER
After a record of 47 years and
i six months, Samuel M. Hertzler. spe
; cial duty engineer on the Middle
' Division is now on the Honor Roll.
His retirement dates from July 1.
I During his career he has hauled 1
- many thousand passengers, and not
one ever received an Injury. He
hauled presidents of the United
States. Ambassadors and prominent
men from all parts of the World.
Up to his retirement his duties was
confined to special and important
trains.
"Sammy," as he is better known,
always has a smile. He began his
, career October, 1871, as a laborer
and assisted in the construction of
the third track east of Thompson
: town. After this work was com
pleted he came to Hurrisburg, and
on January 15, 1872 secured a po
sition as freight brakeman, serving
in that capacity for 15 days, he was
made a freight fireman. On October
19 he was made a passenger fire
man, and held this position until
January 1, 1881, when he was pro
moted to extra freight engineman.
During winter of 1876 to 1880 he
was used as an emergency engine
i man. In the year 18S2 he was
transferred to the Tyrone division,
where he was an engineman running
from Tyrone to Oceloa, under S. S.
Blair, superintendent.
Another Promotion
On April 1, 18S7 he was promoted
| to extra passenger engineman on the
! Middle Division and on March 22,
! 1888 was assigned to Train No. 17,
I known as Oyster Express. He had
this train until November, ISS9,
| when he was assigned to Train No.
I 21, St. Louis Express West, and had
i this train for 14 years and five
I months. On May 24, 190S he was
! assigned to Train No. 25, remaining
jin charge of this fast train until
I March 1919, when he was promoted
i to Special Duty Engineman, which
j position he held up to the time of
I his retirement. In his last duties
I he was given new engiries to try
j out and hauled the Pennsylvania
I railroad officials east and west.
Many changes have taken place
! since Engineman Hertzler began his
; career and he has kept an interest
i ing diary of these changes. He fired
j the first non-stop train over the
, Middle Division known as the Yellow
| Kid, and Limited Mail. He hauled
j the first freight train that was
I equipped with automatic ai ( r brakes,
] a train of 75 New York and Nor
folk cars. He s'arted under S. S. |
Black, superintendent and has work
| ed under three different superinten
i dents.
Single Track Rood
When he started the Middle Pi
| vision was a single track road. In
; the local yards were eight tracks
j eastbound and seven westbound. The
i passenger tracks ran through the
j center of the ya-ds. The Rockville
j bridge was a sing'e track and built
'of wood. In 1876 the new double
track iron bridge was completed. On
March 30. 1902. the four track stone
] arch bridge, the first big structure j
j of its kind in the United States, was I
: put in service.
For six years Engineman Her'zler :
I had charge of the Middle Division]
nay trains. He is a member of |
j Brotherhood of Locomotive Encin
: eers and was a delegate to the Na
tional convention at Atlanta in 1892
and to St. Louis in 1898. He has !
been on a number of prominent 1
committees. He is still quite active I
and ready to respond to any call to
emergency duty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR j
THE OWL POLICEMAN
Harrisburg. Pa., July 21, 1919.
To the Editor of the Telegraph :
Sir: In the July issue of The
National Geographic Mazazine on
page 111 will be found pictures of
barn owls, some times called
"monkey-faced owls" and under
neath this picture the following
words:
"Barn Owls: The policeman of
the farm. A family of barn owls
on the place constitutes a valuable
asset, for these birds are the most
effective natural check on rats,
mice and other destructive rodents.
Due to their extremely rapid diges
tion they are always hungry and
a half-grown owlet will eat more
than its own weight in a single night.
An old owl will catch more mice than
a dozen cats."
This is a statement of absolute
fact, yet but few people understand
the work these birds are doing and
many, because of this lack of un
derstanding will go out of their
way to destroy them.
It is a well known fact that mem
bers of the owl family bolt their
food, that is, they swallow it whole
wherever that is possible, and for
that reason prefer small creatures,
that can be swallowed without tear
ing them to pieces as is done by
members of the hawk family. Dr.
W. T. Hornaday says that owls in
captivity cannot be kept healthy on
cutup pieces of beefsteak alone. H
says an owl will swallow a mouse or
sometimes a small bird, hair or
feathers as the case may be and
bones; that the soft parts are digest
ed and the hard parts, hair or feath
ers and bones are rolled up in a
small bundle, called a ball or pellet,
and ejected from the mouth of the
owl. He says this is necessary to the
health of the bird and that under
neath wherever owls make their
homes large quantities of these pel
lets may be found, that through
the examination of these balls or
pellets the food supply of the owls
in question may be determined, and
examination of thousands upon thou
sands of these balls sustain this as
sertion. I cite one investigation of
this character as an illustration:
Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the Biological
Survey, Washington, D. C., reports
that a pair of barn owls had made
their home in the tower of a wing
of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, and he collected two
hundred of these pellets or balls
under their roost. These contained
the skulls and bones of 454 crea
tures; of these 225 were meadow
mice, 2 of pine mice, 179 house
mice, 20 were rats, 6 of jumping
mice, 20 of shrews, 1 star-nosed
mole and 1 vesper sparrow. Four
hundred and fifty-three creatures
harmful to the interests of men had
been destroyed to one that was
beneficial, and just about this ratio
will be maintained by everv investi
gation, yet men are disposed to
shoot these and other owls and cer
tain hawks, because they think the
birds are destructive.
This matter has been called to our
attention recently through the kill
ing of a family of barn owls at Wil
liams Grove, Franklin county the
one doing this killing honestly be
lieving that these owls were de
stroying game and birds and poultry
in that section. No one saw the owl
commit a single wrong, but they did
see the owls and that was all there
was to It. While it is a fact that
barn owls will now and then destroy
small birds and perhaps rabbits so
small that they can be swaJlowed
whole, the good they do far exceeds
the harm and they are entitled to
absolute protection. I beg of the
people that they study the life work
of birds and be certain they are de
structive before killing them.
.Respectfully yours
JOSEPH KALBFUS.

Bank May Be Able
to Pay Everyone
Presidents of at least two banks
in Philadelphia have offered to take
over the North Penn bank and
straighten out the affairs of tho in
stitution which was placed in the
hands of a receiver by Banking
Commission John S. Fisher on Fri
day after conference with Gover
nor William C. Sproul. If this is
done the Commonwealth, the policy
holders of several insurance com
panies and the depositors may get
their money.
Governor Sproul said at Phila
delphia that he had been watching
the bank ever since he heard about
the big insurance fund being placod
there before he became Governor.
This discovery was made in March
and since then every effort has been
made to protect the state and the
depositors.
The Governor said: "I was dis
turbed to find that such conditions
had been handed over to us and
our particular effort has been in
the direction of carefully investi
gating and correcting any question
able conditions in the fiduciary in
stitutions which are under the juris
diction of the state. Both the bank
ing commissioner and insurance
commissioner are giving their un
divided time and attention to the
most careful oversight of all the in
stitutions under their care. The
North Penn case seems to be a re
grettable instance of the mixture of
public funds and private enterprise,
and we hope to be able to reduce
such conditions to a minimum dur
ing the present administration.
In a statement issued ex-Insur
ance Commissioner Charles A.
Ambler, said:
"My company, the Ambler-Davis
Contracting Company, will be able
to pay the $BO,OOO or any sum found
owing to the bank and the State
money is amply protected. My com
pany has been dealing with the
North Penn Bank for years, and
our notes always been backed
with gilt edg'e security. When we
needed funds to finance big con
tracts, some of which involved sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, we
obtained loans only by legitimate
business methods and not merely on
the firm's name. These notes have
always been protected and none has
ever fallen overdue. The relations
of this company with the North
Penn Bank have been in strict ac
cord with banking and business
practice."
In regard to the deposits of State
Insurance Trust funds, be said. "In
making these transfers I merely fol
lowed precedent established by my
predecessors in favoring home
town institutions. Mr. O'Neil had
large sums moved from Philadel
phia banks to western institutions,
and when I took office I naturally
seized the opportunity to favor the
banks of my home city."
$1,000,000,000 Is Lost
and Hardly Missed
New York, July 21. —That $1,000,-
000.000 worth of property should be
I destroyed in a few months in this
I country without causing more than
I a ripple upon the financial and in
! dustrial surface is seen by the Irving
National Bank as a palpable proof
! of the great prosperity of America in
its first post-war year. The distillery
industry was recently appraised at
$91,000,000, with as much invested
in it. The brewing trades repre
sented $792,000,000. These sums
I were invested in the manufacturing
and wholesale branches. Adding to
this the amounts represented by
saloons, cafes, and cluos dependent
upon a trade now practically pro
scribed. a billion dollars for the total
seems conservative, but so complete
ly has this loss been absorbed, says
the bank, that it has attracted only
semi-humorous attention in the pub
lic prints. While the industrial effect
is not comparable to the destruction
of all the assets of the United States
Steel Corporation, in times of less
monetary strength the financial effect
might be considered as relative. As
the bank points out, nothing like
this wiping out of property rights
has been seen since the freeing of the
slaves in 1863, still its effect upon
business has been negligible.
Reviewing the first half of the
year, the bank, at the turn, finds
retail trade more than cheerful,
wholesale trade expanding instead of
contracting, as is usual at the begin
ning of the vacation season, and in
dustry taking on a faster pace rather
than considering shutdowns for re
pairs.

Civic Club of Harrisburg
Receives Credit For Work
In an article on "Women's Fede
rated Work in City and State,"
which appeared in yesterday's Phil
adelphia Public Ledger, special
mention was made of the work
done by the Civic Club of Harris
burg. Particular stress was laid on
the fact that the club is co-operat
ing with the State Department of
Health in the antifly campaign, and
that it was at its request that the
department sent out inspectors who
discovered ninety merchants disre
garding the screening ordinances.
The activities carried on by the
club during the period of the war
were also mentioned.
MEMORIAL POSTPONED
Because there is doubt as to the
death of the soldier, memorial ser
vices for Private Harry C. Arndt, of
Xewport, were postponed for the
second time yesterday. Services had
been arranged by the Rev. W. K.
Shultz, pastor of the Xewport Cal
vary United Evangelical Church.
Last year services had been sched
uled in the same church, but were
called off when letters were received
from the soldier, dated after his
supposed death. Returned soldiers
have created douht as to the sup
posed death in the present instance,
after advices had been received
from the War Department recently
again announcing the death.

Vaudeville—Two shows every evening.
In 1914 hardly anyone on this side
of the ocean had ever heard of Her
bert Clifton, the fe-
A the Majestic male impersonator
who appears at the
I Majestic Theater the first half of this
week, offering a wonderful act. That
was in the days when trouble was
brewing in Europe. He joined the
Ziegfield Follies that year and within
six months he was the hit of the sea
son, both in Europe and this country.
His act is considered one of the best
ever offered by any man in vaude
ville. It creates talk and pleases
everyone.
Billie Hart & Company, a man and
five lively and pretty girls, present
something different which consists of
burlesque mind reading, singing,
dancing and comedy.
Another episode of "The Perils of

new serial star, Carol Holloway and
Antonio Moreno, is being shown.

is accused of murder, and the treach

prison for seven years.
How Wingrave is finally exonerat
