WOULD JAIL UNTIDY WIVES
Court Officer Blames Them for Driving
Husbands to Drink
Boston, March 9.—'Women who do
not keep their homes in order should
be subjected to arrest, as well as the
man who becomes intoxicated, is the
opinion of Albert J. Sargent, chief pro
bation officer of the Municipal Court*
"If a man deserts his wife she can
have him arrested and yet the wife can
neglect her home until she drives the
man away and to drink, and go un
punished," he said. "When a man
is arrested for drunkenness his home
should at once be visited and condi
tions there investigated. If this home
is slovenly kept the wife should be
arrested along with her 'better half,'
and should he given the same sentence.
"There are women coming to this
office for the money paid by their hus
bands through the Court for their sup
port whom 1 feel like arresting every
time they appear. Not a few of them
were so neglectful of their homes that
they drive their husbands from them.
If a wife fails to give her husband
proper food and makes him seek the
free lunch of the barroom she should
be punished."
WHEN ISA BUG A PEST?
Six Lawyers Ask Northumberland Court
to Answer Question '
Sunbury, March 9.—When is a bug
a pest? This is the question six law- I
yers yesterday asked Judge Moser to '
decide in an equity suit over an in
vasion of millions of bugs into the home
of George Oyster, an ex-Councilman.
Oyster alleged that a willow tree on (
the property of Mrs. Levy, his next
door neighbor, each summer becomes in
fested with millions of insects of Ver
million color, which make his life mis
erable, infest his home, ruin his car
pets and cause much distress. He asks
the Court for a removel of the tree.
The defense contended that the bug
was never a pest, inasmuch as the tree
has been there for more than a century, 1
and that Oyster was the first to com- }
plain. After a day's testimony it was i
left to the Court to decide. '
I Lawyers for Oyster last night offered (
to call in !State Zoologist Surface, in an
effort to prove their contention. '
CHEAT CREEKS OF MILLION <
Charge Results in Receiver for Tommy 1
Atkins Land Allotment 1
Muskogee, Okla., March 9.—A re- ;
ceiver for the Tommy Atkins allotment, 1
said to be worth $1,000,000, was ap- '•
pointed yesterday by the Federal Court. 1
In this case the government, for the
Creek Nation, contends that the allot- 1
ment was made to a fictitious person 1
and that it should be cancelled and the
property revert to the Creeks. An oil 1
company has a lease on the land and 1
is producing 8,000 barrels of oil per
day.
The government made an arbitrary ]
allotment to "Tommy Atkins" because 1
his name was on ah old Indian roll. 1
Now, it contends that there never was
such a person, while the two oil com-,
panies have" produced two women, eacTi
of' whom claim to be the mother of
"Tommy Atkins." I

The fire was a small one, no damage

INTERNATIONAL MOTOR ,
TRUCKS IN GREAT DEMAND
t
Can Attain a Speed Four or Five Times u
That of a Horse—Permits Larger j ]
Expansion of Trade Than the; i
Wagon
r
The beginning of 1915 finds hiin- t
dreds of International Motor Trucks
used' by representative firms of al'l f
kinds in Dauphin and a few surround- r
ing counties, and tile proportion of t ,
horse-drawn vehicles are constantly de-, (
creasing.
Business firms now recognize the ;,
fact that without new trade their busi-j ,
ness will languish and die. Horse- ]
drawn delivery will limit a firm to a j
restricted district, while a motor truck j
permits a large expansion of trade. We ]
are constantly placing the Internation
al with progressive firms who arc serv
ing customers throughout the cities and
suburban towns, whom they would oth-
erwise lose.
The responsibility of the manufac
turer, the service facilities of the sell
ing department and the figures on
which are based the claims for economy
are regarded to*day as the most vital
considerations by the purchaser.
Many owners of International Motor
Trucks'report to us their experience in
penetrating extreme conditions of 1
roads, such as deep mud and heavy
snow drifts, that are considered impas
sible for horse service. Instances of
this nature only remind us of the fact
that the International is thoroughly re
liable for twelve months service each
year, regardless of weather or road con
ditions. Business men lanowthat noth
ing is worse for trade than an inef
fectual delivery service. Modernizing
delivery service by adopting motor
trucks is only partly solved by the se- <
lection of trucks, but providing compe
tent drivers has been one of the diffi- :
cult problems. Regardless of how j
"fool-proof" the mechanism and ad-<
justmeuts may be arranged, the motor
truck still remains a mechanical piece
of engineering and will require some
intelligence for its successful opera
tion. The drivers should not only un
derstand the simple method of start
ing, steering and stopping the truck,
but should be familiar with some cer
tain adjustments and the proper lubri
cation of the truck of which he has
charge. Sorry to say that many em
ployers do not realize the importance j
of selecting a thoroughly capable driver j
for his motor truck, but applies the old
fatal maxim, "Penny wise and pound
foolish," by employing some cheap, in- [
efficient boy, thereby jeopardizing his j
delivery system, and finally declares the
use of the motor truck a failure.
The motor truck loaded to its ca
pacity can safely, on good condition of
j roads, attain about four to five times
I the speed of horses under similar con
ditions, and the habit of working
faster in loading and unloading motor
trucks is being adopted by many lead
ing firms and has eliminated to a great
degree the necessity or demand for
heavy capacity trucks, and now favor
ing the medium sizes as a matter of j
economy in purchase, convenience,
quicker deliveries, less upkeep expense
and storage.—Adv. *
