Statements That Bring the Money Quick
A machine-made statement is a good
collector; it brings the money in quick
because it goes out quick—on the first, or the
afternoon of the 31st. Then, it isn't held up
to have the total verified. "Made on a
Burroughs" is a passport that gets immediate
approval of the Custodian of t)ie check book,
because he knows that statement is accurate.
But quicker collections is only one
advantage. In making out statements on a
Burroughs Statement Machine, you verify all
ledger balances and can take a tnal balance at
the same time. It takes the worry out of
statement time, the mistakes out o! the ledger,
and trouble out of the trial balance.
And all this work can be done in half the
time it takes to get out statements alone in
the old way.
When your statements are on the way, the
machine is ready to figure for you for the
balance of the month, as it is a modern
- all around figuring machine p/us a statement
machine.
To find out how the Burroughs will help
you handle your statements will cost you at
the most the price of a two cent stamp.

BABIES CAN'T GO BY MAIL
Alleged Experiment in Florida Bound
to Fail Says Postal Chief
Washington, D. C., March 30. —"If
€-year-old Edna Neff has been sent
from Pensacola, Fla., to Qhristians
burg, Va., by parcel post, she will nev
er reach her destination in that way,"
said John C. Koons, in charge of the
parcel post service of the Postoffice De
partment.
"If Miss Neff was started on her
journey with parcel post stamps at
tached to her, the postmaster at Pen
sacola has violated the rules and regu
lations of the postal service, and the
parcel post law in particular, by at
tempting to send a human being
through the mails. This is contrary to
the law, and against instructions issued
only a few months ago when an effort
was made to send a boy by parcel post
from one star route to another in a
West Virginia town. Miss Neff's
journey will be interrupted, I am sure,
at the first large city she touches, and
unless she has other means of trans
portation than parcel post stamps, her
trip will be at an end."

Wilkes-Barre, Pa., March 30. —The

Instead of complying with the re

ol the highwayman. One blow was
c.iough and before the mi mister had a
chance to complete the job the highway
man beat a retreat. The attempted
hold-up was reported to the police, but
no arrests have been made.

Piittrfburgh, Marcli 30. —.Al'bert J.
Pyne, auditor of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
has perfected an invention where-by ho
gets music from an ordinary gas-jet
flame.
Flame music, as he terms it, is made
hy placing a long glass tube over the
gas flame, then running the gas to a
certain height. When it attains the
desired height 'he strikes a tone on a
musical instrument, Which clauses the
flame to vi'brate and reproduce t'he ex
act tones within the tuibe.
Tested with a violin, MT. Payne re
produced the same sweet musical tone
as that of the violin, hut the volume
was much greater.
Pyne says that he is now developing
an instrument which will show the color
of tones to the naked eye, something
heretofore unaccomplished, though
deemed possible hy scientists.

EXPECTED RUN ON BANK AT
MYERSTOWN BIDN'T OCCUR
Not an Account Withdrawn From In
stitution Whose Treasurer la in
Jail—Hassler Says Shortage Was
Merely Made by Errors in Books
Myerstown, Pa., March 30.—When
the Myerstown Trust Company's bauk
was opened for business at the usual
hour yesterday morning everything
wag in readiness for a run.
Extraordinary precautions had been
taken by the directors. The regular cash
oil hand was augmented by the receipt
of |33,000 in cash from the First Na
tional Bank, of Lebanon. Not a penny
of the money was required as not one
account wan withdrawn as the result
of the announcement that Amos Hass
ler, treasurer of the institution, was a
confessed defaulter to the amount <
and was in the Lebanon jail.
It was not until yesterday morning
on the arrival of the Philadelphia news
papers that the townspeople learned of
llassler's defalcation and it caused a
sensation.
Depositors and shareholders alike
gave every evidence of support by as
suring the bank management there
| would be no necessity to call on a
Philadelphia bank for an additional
?30,000, which had been arranged for
in the case of an emergency.
Hassler, yesterday, steadfastly ad
hered to his original statement that he
had not taken a penny of the missing
$8,372.81 of the bank's funds.
lie insists that shortage was first
disclosed in the accounts several years
ago, and that being for but compara
tively small amounts he sought to avoid
a disclosure by making false entries in
the accounts. Hassler says these short
ages continued from time to time,
growing less frequent, however, during
ihe last year, but he refrained from
making the truth known to the direc
tors.
He did not charge any one with the
theft, an I his failure to speak in this
respect causes little credence to be giv
en to his story. Careful and thorough
investigation into the manner of Hass
ler's living since coming here five years
ago failed to disclose any extravagance
|or speculation on his part. His liab
! its were exemplary and, as showing his
| standing in the community, he lacked
but one vote last January of being
elected superintendent of a local Sun
day school.
In a signed statement issued yester
day afternoon the bank directors gave
assurance that the shortage was not in
excess of $8,372.81, as shown by an
inspection of the books by State Bank
Examiner Charles E. Sebhsrd, of Leb
anon, whose findings coincided with the
figures in Hassler's private menio
i randa.
It was also oflieialy announced yes
terday that the trust company was not
the depository of any county funds.
Strong efforts are to be made to have
Hassler tell of the whole transaction,
on the plea that his failure to tell all
may direct unjust suspicion toward
others, present and former employes of
the institution.
