li state supervision of tho con
struction una opuiuuon of privately
owned dams aau reservoirs tie dis
cussed by a bouy ot engineers, it
boon becomes apparent tnat tne views
expressed cover a very wiuo range.
Some opinions would bo almost
socialistic, vs'nllo others would uu al
most anarchistic, some engineers
believe that tne state siiould go to the
extreme in controlling and supervis
ing such works as Uams and bridges
because failures ot tliobo structures
endanger ate as well as property. On
the inner hand, tuo view that tho
government or stato siiould exercise
no control whatever over theso works
of engineering is held by not a few
men vv'no havo to do with their con
struction and operation. Slate own
ership or control does not prevent ac
tiuoius as has been lrcquently illus
trated; only recently by a very sad
catastrophe at a railroad bridge In
France. Nevertheless, the state, that
is, tho people acting through certain
olllcials, should exercise some control
over structures which involves po
tential danger from tho fact that
they convene great lorces of nature
which If not restrained would cause
loss of life and prjperty. In other
words, St is a function of the state to
exercise some conti-ol over powerful
forces which, because of their magni
tude and peculiar nature, have Inher
ent danger. As population becomes
moro dense, state restrictions are tho
moro necessary. It would seem,
therefore, that between the two ex
treme views, tho proper ono must
lie. State supervision properly ad
ministered Is simply an additional
safeguard to life and property, and
If of such a nature as to bo an addi
tional factor of safety or to reduce
tho possibility or disaster, while not
relieving the owner of his responsi
bility, it is certainly a very desirable
thing to have. No one familiar with
the action of state departments or
governmental control or even govern
ment ownership believes that theso
are infallible agencies of preventing
disaster, but the safe and sane posi
tion to take is that they will simply
servo as another means of seeing that
the engineer's ideas as embodied in
his plans and structures are correct.
In such matters, therefore, as the
construction and operation of en
gineering works such as dams, reser
voirs and bridges, it would seem
that private ownership, supplemented
by an efficient state supervision, Is
most desirable.
How can this supervision be best
exercised? Answers to this question
will ho greatly varied, but on the
whole the following arrangement
would seem to produce desirable re
sults. Let the construction and oper
ation of dams bo under the control
of some stato commission, for ex
ample in Pennsylvania under tho
State Water Supply Commission;
and let the commission have 'power
not only to pass upon plans but also
to exercise a reasonable amount of
supervision In construction and to
compel the owner of a dam to dis
continue Its use when the dam Is
found to be insecure. The details
of such an arrangement could bo
worked out along the following
lines:
1. Approval of plans before be
ginning work.
2. Examination of dam during
construction.
3. Report from owner's engineer
upon completion.
4. Certificate of operation.
5. Biennial reports.
To make this scheme operative tho
commission must havo power to
compel the owner of an unsafe dam
or reservoir to ellmlnato the danger
uy reuueing or removing the water
pressure. Furthermore, ho should
be prevented from using tho dam or
reservoir until adequate steps shall
havo been taken to put tho structure
in a safe condition. An Interesting
detail in tho administration of this
plan would he to fix tho minimum
helglit of dam or the minimum stor
age capacity of tho reservoir which
would fall under tho proposed re
quirements. For instance, in Massa
chusetts, whero tho railroad and rail
way bridgo laws Impose a method of
procedure somewhat similar to the
outline here suggested, the minimum
span-length considered necessary to
place within the scopo of tho law is
ton feet in tho clear. The laiv of
course Includes all spans, but ten
feet lias been fired by tho Railroad
Commission as a practical limit. Cer
tainly some limit must bo flxed in tho!
case of dams and It seems at first!
thought that it should bo based on i
tne reservoir capacity rather than
the dam's height. Tliero is every
reason to bellovo that If wisely ad
ministered 8omo such plan as here
suggested will prove fruitful of
good results in clam and reservoir
construction and maintenance. Penn
sylvania 'has witnessed two calami
ties within its borders duo to destruc
tion of dnms, and this groat stato
should nnd no doubt will tako proper
precautions for the future. Its
topography is particularly adapted to
tho formation of reservoirs, and
hence thore Is need of caution in this
Important matter. This stato Is
fortunato In having In its Water Sup
ply Commission a body which is
eminently fitted to execute tho pro
visions of statute. It Is hoped
thoreforo that all dams and reser
voirs In Pennsylvania will soon be
placed undor tho supervision of that
commission nnd that othor states
will tako action.
Alleged Cancer Cure.
According to a special cable In to
day's Now York Times from Paris,
treatmont of cancer by a combination
of selenium and cosine, which, In tho
larft two or threo months, has been
Investigated by Prof. Wassorraann, a
well-known chemist, Is being much
discussed by tho authorities ot tho
Pasteaur Institute. Prof. WaBser
mann reported that he had mado
cures In cases- with mice. He sought
remedies in combinations of metals.
One of theso which hitherto has prov
ed most efficacious is sollnluin. Tho
treatment of inico consists of tho In
jecting of tho preparation eight or
ten times. After three or four In
jections tho tumor liquifies nnd disap

curred In tho cases treated In tho

lingers, sne explained that she
wanted It for a souvenir, and that
she had not imagined It would cause
any harm to take it because "there
were so many surely ono would not
make any difference." After ex
plaining to her that it might make
all the difference between this world
and tho next for him, Rodgers turn
ed his back to his machine, only to
find another souvenir hunter a
man, this time trying to take a
valve off the engine with a cold

Largest Locomotive.
Tho Pennsylvania railroad has had
a locomotive built, the largest In tho
world, and which, if tests prove ser
viceable, will be the typo used on
mountain grades in Western Penn
sylvania. From tho point of the
pilot to the coupler at the rear of the
tender the length Is 98 feet, 3 in
ches, longer than the new steel cars.
The weight, with tender loaded, Is
GC8.900 pounds, which is 238,900
pounds heavier than the heaviest
passenger locomotive and 272,000
pounds heavier than tho heaviest
freight locomotive now used by tho
Pennsylvania. There aro four 27
Inch cylinders, and each of the six
teen driving wheels Is fifty-seven In
ches in diameter.
One Word That Should Never bo Used
Ono word I should like to rub out
of tho vocabulary used by human be
ings, one toward another. It Is tho
word "don't."
Looking back over a somewhat full
and varied experience, I can say that
in my Judgment didactic prohibition
issued from soul to soul, for every
ounce of good It has done, has made
a pound of harm.
"Don't" is the stupidest, most
brainless and laziest of all parental
terms. To tell a child what to do
requires thought, Investigation, In
terest. To tell anyone what not to
do requires no cerebration.
"Don't" Is tho language of annoy
ance. "Do" Is the language of lovo.
"I like very well to be told to do,
by those who are fond of me," said
Alclblades; "but never to bo told
what not to do; and tho more fond
they aro of me tho less I like It. Be
cause when they tell mo what not to
do, it is a sign that I havo displeased
or am likely to displease them. Be
sides I believe there aro some other
reasons, but they havo quite escaped
me."
To bo sure tho ten commandme'hts
aro "don'ts." But they are God's,
which Is different. Frank Crane.

You can buy cloth all the way

when you buy three cent calico you
don't expect to got tho samo goods

They can. But It costs money, and

10, 1912, at 10 a. m.. as a timo for a
hearing.
The Court granted tho petition of
Sylvia Neville, administratrix of
Thos. Neville, late of Sterling town
ship, asking for an order for tho
private sale of real estate, and or
dered that a hearing of the applica
tion bo held on January 20, 1912, at
10 a. m.
District Attorney M. E. Simons
presented an order in the caso of
tho Commonwealth versus Elmer
Spry Gray, Stanley Decker, Edwin
Conzellman, Harrison Conzollman,
tho boys who were indicted for lar
ceny and receiving stolen goods, to
which they pleaded guilty, and upon
which tho Court made arl oral order
not reduced to writing, directing that
tho sentence bo suspended, and the
defendants paroled under good be
havior. The Court so directed.
In the caso of tho Commonwealth
versus Edward Schmuck, Alfred
Polt, Ellas Hedgelon, Percy Wright,
Indicted for larceny and receiving
stolen goods, the Court suspended
sentence as to Edward Schmuck and
Alfred Polt, two of tho defendants,
and they are paroled in the caro and
custody of their respective fathers,
who are made parole officers for such
purpose, and tho defendants, Elias
Hedgolon and Percy Wright are con
tinued In the care and custody of
their respective parents until further
order of tho Court.
It will be remembered that these
boys pleaded guilty to breaking Into
Graham Watts' store, Honesdalo,
around Fair time, 1910, and stealing
revolvers and knives. The Court at
the time of suspending sentence or
dered that the defendants pay Gra
ham Watts $22, tho value of the
stolen goods. The parents of Mast
ers Schmuck and Polt havo paid.
George M. Dibble, Preston town
ship, was appointed guardian of Julia
Washburn, Preston township, a min
or child over the age of fourteen
years, daughter of Frank L. Wash
burn, deceased, at tho request of the
said minor. Security was fixed at
$600.
Tho findings of the master In the
divorce case of Olga J. Doscher vs.
George M. Doscher, tho case where
thero was a prior existing marriage
was presented to the Court, and a
dlvorco decreed, annulling tho allog
ed marriage relation and granting
Olga J. Pohle, tno Innocent party,
liberty to marry as fully and freely
as she would have been had this al
leged marriage cermony never been
performed.
Judge Henry Wilson called off the
issue list. A number of cases, in
which the costs have been paid, the
Court ordered stricken off. Others
wero taken off, as tho probability of
their ever being tried Is very remote.
Tho case of Carey vs. Kane was
stricken off on agreement of the at
torneys, Chas. A. McCarty and Searle
and Salmon.
Still other cases, where the mat
ters at Issue had been settled and
only the question of costs remained,
were blue-penciled.
Tho Judge wished tho lawyers a
"Happy New Year," and adjourned

January, 1912. As far as Wayne
county was concerned, tho year 1911

General Prank H. Hitchcock intends
to extend the practice of carrying
second class mall by fast freight
trains. Ho so stated In an answer ho
filed in the United States Circuit
Court recently in the case of the Re
view of Reviews Company, which
complained of discrimination because
its magazines were carried by freight
instead of by mall trains through tho
Middle West, for distribution to far
distant points.
The Postmaster General says tho
Government lost seven cents a pound
on all second class matter transport
ed from New York to the Paclile
coast by mall trains in 1907-1908,
but that since early last year, when
the fast freight rule was enforced on
certain periodicals Issued at Intervals
of a week or more, a saving of $1,
10U.000 has been made.
