Children's Mother.
Resemblance between children and
their parents is more OF less marked
in every family, hut it is rare that such
likeness is of particular worth.
The following story is related by a
resident of Germantown as an illus
tration of how the close resemblance
between one of her children and its
father served as the means Of securing
at a banking institution recognition OF
a check.

The Automobile Useful,

Automobiles have been put to many
uses. but 1t remained for a clever Ger
mantown electrician to put a machine
to use as novel as it was ingenious,
though simple at that. The arc light
at the northwest corner of German
town and Cheiteh avenues suddenly
went cut on Thursday night. Kicking
the pole and a dozen other familiar
methods failed to jar the carbons into
proper position.
Then the lamp was lowered, but all
were afraid to touch it, as no one
had rubber gloves or other insulation
The chances of an accident were in
creased by the wet pavement and
dripping lamp. Just then as the dark
ness and delay became most vexatious
at that much frequented corner, an
automobile drove up and its owner
got out and went into the postoffice
A happy thought struck the electri-
clan, and he had a minutes hurried
conversation with the owner. The
electrician raised the lamp, while the
automobile drove the machine under
it Then the electrician stood on the
automobile, safe with the protection
of insulation from the four rubber
tires, and easily adjusted the carbons,
and there was light again

SIGNS OF GOOD MANNERS.
Elder Sisters Effort to Uphold Repu-
tation of Family.


AS the oldest of the family, Anna
felt keenly the necessity of keeping q
close watch upon the manners of her
two younger sisters, lest disgrace be
attached to the good name of the fam
lily. Her intentions, at all events, were
beyond cavil, although as much could
not always be said for her manner OF
carrying them out.
Certainly the provocation was great
when Annals younger sister deiiber
ately put an entire hard-boiled egg in
her mouth in the crowded steam car
on the way home from school. Only
a few persons saw the dreadful deed
yet Anna straightway rose, crossed
the aisle and administered to the of
fender a box on the ear which re-
sounded from one end of the car to the
other. Thereupon she resumed her
seat, in the proud consciousness of a
duty well performed.
why, Anna, how could you do such
thing, and publicly, too?" said her
mother later after hearing a fearful
recital of the incident from the lips OF
her youngest daughter.

HIS FIRST REPORT

Of Corporations.
REMEDY IS SUGGESTED.
Commissioner Garfield Has Submitted
His First Annual Report Of That
Body to coneress-And Suggests
Many Valuable Regulations.

washington; Dec. 23:-The first an;
nual report of the commissioner OF
corporations was submitted to congress
by Commissioner Garfield. He says
no satisfactory reform is to be ex-
pected under the state system OF IN
corporation; that the federal govern
ment has at it's command sufficient
power to remedy existing conditions
in its control of interstate commerce:
He therefore suggests that congress
consider the advisability of enacting
a law for the legislative regulation OF
interstate and foreign commerce I'M
der a license or franchise which in
general should provide as follows:
The granting of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate
commerce.
The imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organlza-
lions and management as requls-
lite for a grant of franchise or license.
The requirement of such reports
and return as may be desired as con-
ditioh of the retention of such fran
chise or license.
The prohibition of al corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
III Interstate and foreign Commerce
without such federal franchise or Ii;
cense.
The full protection of the grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case of
violation of law, with appropriate
right of judicial appeal to prevent
abuse of power by the administrative
officers.
Commissioner General Garfield
says the bureau, under the direction
of the secretary of commerce and Ia
Dor. affords the appropriate machin-
cry for the administration of such
law.
