The who / TT A r>T?TQT>TTT?r; ST A T?-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1915 not long ago set out to memorize a thousand facts, and fixed in his mind the populations of a thousand cities of the world to meet the requirement, has a wonderful store of knowledge in his line. Yet the thousand facts are useless. There is nothing about population statistics which is noticeably inspiring. Most facts worth knowing at any time are re corded in weighty books of reference, and it is so much easier to look some of them up \\hen wanted than to endeavor to memorize them and then run the risk of having them slip away just when the need for them arises. Perry county hotels are dry to-day but the cellars of some nf the private houses are wetter thau usual. MeNiehol was clearly defeated in his brush with Thomp son in the Senate yesterday. It begins to look as though machine leaders are losing some of their influence even in Pennsylvania. It required a mace in the bauds of the sergeant-at-nrms to get a quorum in the Senate yesterday. It was perhaps the first time in years that club was used so epeuly upon the members of that dignified body. Motiou picture censorship in its present form is so need lessly expensive to the film men and exhibitiors that it will not be surprising to see the movie men advance the price of admittance from the very low prices now asked lessly exjiensive to the film men and exhibitors that it the present censorship law remains in force. When the motion picture exhibitors begin to realize fully how much influence they can wield by a judicious use of their screens during political campaigns for the election of legislators, perhaps the members of the Legislature wilf view with more concern the movie men's protests against the present censorship law which places an unjust burden of expense on the production of the films that provide such cheap amusement for million's of Pennsylvanians.

A TERRIBLE EFORT Now that the washing hung on the line, Mrs. Moran was leaning over the back fence and discussing with sympa thetic Mrs. Regan the problem of bringing up a daughter. Privately, Mrs. Regan considered that Maggie Moran was born lazy, but Maggie's mother held that Maggie's case was not so simple. It ain t that Maggie's not willin'," said Mrs. Moran. "Willin' she is, and active on her bicycle, and fl'wavs ready to run an errand for you. But she ain't one that hears work callin' or sees it adookin' at her." "It's easier to do a thing yourself than to be tellin' others," said Mrs. Regan, understanding^-. - "And that's the truth," agreed Mrs. Moran. "But Maggie ain't to blame, although maybe she's ff little too easy discouraged. I've seen her tryin'. Last winter I says to her, 'Maggie,' I says, 'every time you find some thing to do to help mother round the house, I'll give ye a cent.' That started her hard at it, Mrs. Regan, and 'twas a full two weeks before sho got discouraged and give it up." "And how much did she make?" asked Mrs. Regan. "Nine cents," said Mrs. Moran, "but I called it a dime." —Youth's Companion. RAISING FALSE HOPES Old Peterby is rich and stingy. . In the event of his death his nephew is to inherit his property.

The lad thought he did but his reply ap parently was not entirely satisfactory to the lawyer who was testing his qualifications. "Do you know what will happen if you do not tell the truth?"' naked the lawyer. "Yes, I would go to Hell," quickly replied the lad. / "What else would happen to you?" asked the attorney, who thought j>os sibly the lad would refer to the jail penalty. "Isn't that enough " interjected Judge Kunkel. * * * Think the Eitel Will Remain Some of the Harrisburg legislative (newspaper correspondents who went to Newport News with the State party on the occasion of the launching of the battleship "Pennsylvania" are of opinion that the German auxiliary cruiser, Eitel Friederieh, which put into Newport News for repairs, after traveling the Seven Seas and sinking many vessels belonging to the allies and one American vessel, will never leave Newport News, and if she does she will *un into a hornet's nest. '' From where we wore at Newport News," said one of the newspaper men, "we could see far out to sea and prominent on the horizon was the black smoke from two big ships which we learned were English and French battleships, laying for the Eitel Fried erieh. The German vessel is only a converted Hamburg-American lin<?r, and she would never be a match for those two big battleships, and if she •goes out of Newport News she goes to dest ruction. That is certain. The impreftuon gained by all who took the to inquire into matters was that the Eitel Friederieh will remain in port after her repairs are complet ed and make no attempt ,to get away." * * • Good Story That Wasn't Told While in Newport News one of the newspaper men had the good fortune to entspage one of the crew of the Eitel in Conversation. The man had o>nce been in this country, but went back after a short residence in Chicago. He was a gunner on the Eitel and acting as such witnessed the sinking of the .numerous ships by the cruiser, his posi tion on deck giving/him every oppor- tunity of seeing everything. He spoke good English and was evidently proud of the part he had taken in the sink ing of the ship*!. When asked about the sinking of the American vessel, the William P. Five, from Maine, the Germain gunner was just about to tell the story when glancing up where the guests of the day were assembled 011 tile platform near the "Pennsylva nia," he saw his commander, Captain Thieriehsen, and he stopped short with an exclamation "Ach Gott," and Ifurried away behind the stockade where his companions were kept to prevent them from running at large and ftalkiug. "Gee, but I would have had a peach of a story if that fellow liadn't seen the captain," said the newspaper man when telling the tale. Big Changes 011 the Thames Tile Thames river, down below the bridges, is changing rapidly with various modern improvements nearing completion. Something of the pictur- of the old river must go, to be superseded by great docks and ma chines for the modern and efficient handling of the commerce of London. The greatest of the port enterprises now u>nder way is the new "King George Dock," which is to be com pleted by midsummer after nearly three years of work. The great area which goes under this title includes a wharf with a frontage of a mile and a half and an area of 64 acres; a dry dock 750 feet long and an entrance lock 800 feet long. * • • Turks Send Soldiers Cigarettes One of the most welcome gifts which the army of Gemeral Von Hin- has received during the long campaign in the Bast is a big ship ment of cigarettes from the Turkish first army corps. The soldiers and of ficers of the Turkish corps contributed the money for the "emokes" and sent then; as an appreciation of the Ger many victory in the Masurian Lakes district. • * • Time Flies on the Farm Horace W. Cromer, a Representative from Allegheny county, who once was a farmer boy, but now represents a city district, was arguing on a bill to compel all vehicles to carry lights— which, u y the way, was killed subse quently(—and to prove his contention that he knew the side of life he gave his early experiences this way: "Monday morning on the farm they come in at 4 o'clock and it's 'Get up! To-morrow will be Tuesday and the next day Wednesday, and then half the week's gone. Get up and go to work!' " Artistic Printing at Star-ludependeut. CENSOR'S OWN MOVIE BILL WILL HAVE RIGHT OF WAV Action on two moving picture bills, one proposing a reduction from $2.50 to 50 cents in the cost of censoring a picture and the other repealing the act which created the State Board of Cen sors, was indefinitely postponed by the House Committee on Judiciary General yesterday afternoon. This means the ■bills will die in committee. Clear sailing is provided for the chief censor's own bill, which was intro duced in the Senate yesterday by Sen ator Daix, of Philadelphia. The movie men of the State will endeavor to have the measure amended when it appears on second reading in the House. George G.
