the House to day caused the hour for
final adjournment to be advanced be
yond noon. The clock in the hall of
the House was turned back a number of
times so that the hands would not pass
the hour of 12, which had been agreed
on as the hour for final adjournment.
The debate was one of the most bit
ter ever participated in on a closing
day. Mr. Walter, of Franklin, opened
discussion on the uniform bill, charac
terizing the measure as one that does
not adequately cover the subject.
"It was rich in promise, but slack
in results." he said. Mr. Bnrnett, of
York, said some relief should be given
"from the present drastic law."
"A farmer's wife," he said, "can
keep eggs from March, April and May
until the following January without
cold storage."
Both Mr. Brumbaugh, of Blair, and
W. H. Wilson, of Philadelphia, disputed
the statement of Mr. Kith. Krie, that
the bill was acceptable to the Dairy &
Food Commissioner. Mr. Brumbaugh
said there is no crying demand for this
bill and that it deserves defeat. Mr.
Wilson read a letter from the Dairy
Food Comissioncr in which that offi
cial stated he objected to various pro
visions of the Buckman bill.
"Hoods are designated as cold sto»-
age when kept 60 days. This should
be 30," he read. "The bill gives the
Commissioner power to extend the cold
storage season beyond the 12-month
limit. This is wrong. Nothing should
bo left to the discretion of the Com
missioner. The bill will allow fraud,
as cold storage goods are not required
to be labeled.''
Mr. Baldwin, of Delaware, pleaded
for the passage of the bill. The debato
lasteil for more than an nour. The
bill was passed by a vote of 131 to 64.
Utilities Act Amended
The Salus Senate bill amending the
public utilities act to permit the ap
pointment of examiners to take testi
mony, was passed in the House this
morning by a vote of 143 to 38. The
bill was endorsed by the Municipal
Home Rule league of Pennsylvania.
The measure is designed to save time
and money to municipalities which can
present testimony to examiners who sit
at any place in the State, and to take
atvay the necessity of coming to Har
risburg for a hearing before the Com
mission. The measure also provides
for direct appeals to the Superior Court
to decisions of the Commission instead
of to the Dauphin county court as at
present.
Mr. Nissley, of Dauphin, raised the
question of salary of examiners and
was assured by Mr. Porster, of Philadel
phia, who championed the bill, that
these charges would be subject to the
approval of the'Commiasion on th'e same

of Delaware, was the only member to
speak against the bill. Ho said the
Public Service Commission, which is
virtually composed' of seven Judges, is
sufficient to care for the business. He
said the bill was unnecessary.
The Patton jitney bill was resurrect
ed and it called forth another debate.
The vote by which the bill was defeat
ed last week was reconsidered on mo
tion of Mr. Hess, of Ijiuicaster; second
ed by Mr. Wildnion, it Dauphin. Mr.
Hess read the provisions of the bill
which allows councils to regulate jit
neys. He said the business has grown
to such proportions th«t it would be a
mistake for the legislature to adjourn
without some regulation.
Wildman and Nissley Clash
Mr. Wildman said some regulation
is needed because o>f the inexperience of
many of the drivers. Mr. Nissley, of
Dauphin, opposed Mr. Wildman." He
said:
"It is only fair that you should
know the other side of this question. It
is not the desire .to regulate jitneys
back of this bill it is the desire of
railways companies and City Councils
to legislate against them."
The bill was passed by a vote of 109
for and 66 against. The bill was sent
to the Senate for concurrence in minor
amendments.
Among the bills passed finally were:
Re-enacting initiative and referen
dum provisions with regard to ordi
nances in third class cities.
Granting supervision to city and
county sealers to the State Department
of Standards.
Authorizing the printing of the re

Creating positions of assistant mine
inspectors.
'Making an appropriation of $8,600,-

The Senate met at 10.30 this morn
ing and took up a couple of left-over
bills, among them the one making the
term of office of county and city sealers
of weights and measure four years. This
was passed finally.
The Senate concurred in a couple of
conference reports on local bills and
then took a recess.
During recess the Senators gathered
at the rostrum and .Senator Sproul, in
behalf of those who served under for
mer 'Lieutenant Governor Reynolds, pre
sented the latter' with a handsome set
ot silver table ornaments, including
candelabra and service plaques, making
a neat speech in referring to the high
esteem in which Mr. Reynolds is held
<4>y those who served with him. (Mr.
Reynolds responded, referring to his
pleasant Senate connections and ex
pressing his thanks. •
The conference committee report on
the bill placing 'bituroious coal miners
under the provisions of the workmen's

In the recess that followed, Senator
Clark, on behalf of the present Senate,
presented President Pro Tem. Kline
with a grand piano with pianola at
tachment, paying high tribute to him
as the presiding officer, and Senator
Kline eloquently expressed his thanks,
whereupon the entire body of Senators
arouse and sang "Auld Lang Syne."
The Senate on special order took up
on final passage the bill to abolish any
distinction in assessment between lands
and the buildings thereon in cities of
the second class. The bill passed by a
vote of ,14 to 12, Mr. Magee question
ing the vote, and a verification of the
roll gave the same vote.

and flowers.
Within the last, fortnight the ma

AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN
EUROPE'S GREAT WAR
Looked Upon a3 Power for Oood by
Sufferers of All Nations—Tre
mendous Need of People in Coun
tries Devastated
The American nations, with the ex
ception of 'Mexico, have enjoyed sucli
a long era of peace and prosperity that
few can remember the country rav
aged by war; thus the appreciation of
the aid sent to the citizens of flame
swept Europe can scarcely be realized
by the opulent and sleek peoples of tho
western hemisphere. Before the fall
of a famous Galician fortress even
cats, dogs, rats and emaciated horses
sold for almost fabulous prices to the
starving; then imagine the good \vork
done by the American relief ships
which have sailed forth laden like ar
gosies to these sufferers.
Rules of wnr compelling the devasta
tion of fertile areas by flooding, the
burning of all crops before the advance
of the enemy and the foraging of the
huge armies for wherewithal to keep
them alive in times of stress, soon pro
duced the woeful state of an empty
larder in the fighting zone.
Yet, just as the citizens <*f Messina
returned to live at the base of their
volcanic mount, as soon as the molten
lava ceased to flow, so do these yeomen
strive to eke out their existence in
lands where even crows would now
starve, and to them the gifts of food,
clothing and other necessities were
priceless.
The United States government
placed at the disposal of committees
great sea-going vessels to carry these
contributions safely to port, and food,
medicines and hospital supplies, as well
as many volunteer doctors and nurses,
were steaming from this shore to the
scene of Europe's struggle.
Few people realize the tremendous
need of relief by these ravished people
within the lighting zone, and few can
realize the feeling of friendship which
these gifts engender. The "Nations
at War" deals frankly and fully with
every phase of the first six months of
this titanic struggle.
• This elaborate edition, the only rec
ognized authentic version of the war,
reported by America's ablest newspaper
men, illustrated by daring camera men,
who worked under fire when necessary,
is a book which every reader of the
Star-Independent may possess.
It is a large volume, measuring 8
by lO'/f. inches and handsomely bound.
It contains 364 interesting pages, 4(?
actual photographs and 20 full-page
color plates of absorbing interest. The
demand is heavy and the number of
