SCHWAB HELPS BOYS.
Million Dollar Gift In Aid Of Other
Folks Children.

LEWISBURG, Pa, September 3.-Repre-
sentative B. X. Focht yesterday confirmed
his recent statement that Charles NJ.
Schwab intended to build an industrial
school at State College, Center county to
cost from 100000 to 50 100000 In a
chat with Mr.. and Mrs. Schwab few days
ago in New York city the representative
was told Of their purpose. and he was as
sured that the work would be started soon.
possibly this year, but not later than next.
Mrs. Schwab, who has alre ady presented
the school with an auditorium costing
$500 is also deeply interested in the
plan and desires to be considered Mr..
Schwabs partner in the work
Having no children of their own they
wish in thus erecting a Schwab memorial
to afford to thousands of young men the
opportunity to learn trades and be fitted
at graduation to at once take up the work
of skilled artisans.
That there is no doubtab out Mr.. Schwab's
intention to donate the building to the COL
lege Is evidenced in the fact that he also
told Judge Beaver and Vice President
Welsh that in the event of his death be-
fore his plans could be carried out it would
make no difference as he had already made
provisions for this gift to State College.

PHARMACISTS MEET.
Prof. Wiley Talks on the. Pure Food
Law and Honesty in Trade.

NEW YORK, September 3.-The Amer
lean Pharmaceutical Society opened its
fifty-fifth annual meeting at the Hotel
Astor yesterday. 1t was the first time in
forty years that the society met in this
city. About two hundred men and women
from various parts Of the country were
present yesterday and more are expected
to arrive today. Sixty-one societies and
colleges were represented. Sessions are to
be held for the remainder Of the week. On
Wednesday the women from out Of town
will be taken in hand by local committee
Of women and escorted on shopping tour.
Dr. William c. Alpers of the local society
made the address of welcome, and then DR..
Soius Cohen of the American Medical Asso-
citation gave talk upon elevating the ethics
Of the pharmacist. He thought the ethics
Of the medical profession might be raised a
bit also.
Prof H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau Of
chemistry Of the Agricultural Department
at Washington, had this to say:
1.-THE moral sense of the community
counts for everything in the way of reform
Ing or elevating. You must have public
opinion behind you, for you cannot reform
do anything II the great moral sense of this
country supports you. Why is 1t that the
pure food and drug law has gone into effect
without a single lawsuit? Because the great
public sentiment supported the law.
Nov, there Is another important thing
I want to speak about. What is the life of
trade? Is 1t not honor? To be sure 1t IS;
Honor or ethics is essential to trade and all
business I believe that American COM
merce and American trade is honest at the
core and that's why American commerce
Is so powerful. The object Of this new law
Is to protect the SO per cent of honest MEM
bers of the pharmaceutical profession
against the per cent that would work in
the dark In the enforcement of the law
we depend on your organization to hold up
our hands and help u.s. We are liable to
make mistakes. The enforcement OF the
law will do much good"
Prof Jose Guilimo DaZ Of the Havana
University said he had translated the
United States PharmacopOeia into Spanish.

IN GERMAN MACHINE SHOPS
AMERICAN PARTY ON A TOUR OF
INVESTIGATION.
Progress in Gas Engines and in the
Use of Waste Steam-Im-
portant Tools.

BERLIN, September 3-Lieut. Godfrey
l.. Garden of the United States revenue
cutter service. who has been investigat-
ing the principal indus -ial centers Of Bel
GUM, Switzerland and Germany with a
party Of American manufacturers and pro-
lessons, proceeded to Magdeburg today.
Among the party are H. w Leschen of A.
Leschen & Sons of St Louis: Clifford E,gan
of ]. A. Fay. Egan. & Co., Cincinnati; l.. H.
Weber Of Kansas City, Prof Clifford Cog
gins of the University Of Colorado and
Prof. Raynor Allen Of the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology.
The two principal conclusions reached. in
which all the members Of the America n
party agree, are the extraordinary pros
perlty and extreme industrial advance
ment or Germany. All Of the thirty-fiye
works visited were crowded with orders.
some OF them having orders for years
ahead. The Alsatian Construction Com.
pany of Mulhausen employing 5000. per-
sons, has orders until late In 1910 It was
at Mulhausen that the Americans found
gas engines being constructed up to 1000
horsepower. Gas engines in America, Lieut..
Garden said, are regarded as being in an
gas engines had passed from experimental
to fully practical use.
American Machine Tools.
The Americans found that the Germans
made great~use Of waste steam tn man
ners unknown in America. Lieut.. Garden,
who visited $50 German works in 1908 as
a machinery expert for the st. Louis ex-
position. was able to contrast what he
W 10
saw four years ago. He said that the
workshop efficiency here had increased al
most 100 per cent. the manufacturers every
where having applied American methods Of
getting the highest capacity out of tools
and machines. He found, however, that
the Germans employ fewer American ma
chine tools, most Of those now in use
having been made In Germany, although
imported.
The feeling among the manufacturers of
the party was that the United States will
experience difficulty in beating Germany.
and that the American superiority in sys-
TENS Of work and machinery Of a few
years ago has we'll nigh been overcome.
Received With Courtesy.
The Americans had heard many stories
regarding the reluctance of German and
other European manufacturers to admit
Americans to their works, but only five out
Of about seventy-five manufacturers with
whom the Americans correspondent declined
to admit them. and in each case the re-
fusal was based on special reasons Usual
ly the Americans found a reception COM
mittee at the railroad station. with car
riages. and were personally conducted to
the works by the directors Of the COM
panies; the American flag was hoisted over
the works during the Americans stay
there, and they were entertained at lunch
or at dinner.
From Magdeburg the American party will
go to Hanover. where it will break up

Fever-Smitten Town.

ERIE, September 3.-There are 225
cases Of typhoid fever in a population of
5000, said DR.. W. H. Strickland of this
city, upon his return from the pest-ridden
city of Ridgway last night.
Dr. Strickland was in Ridgway making
a thorough investigation of the sanitary
conditions in that city, and upon his re-
turn, stated that the half has not been
told. He states that one out Of every
three houses in the village bears a typhoid
fever placard. and that he Is informed
that many houses contain from three to
Ave cases. He states that hospitals in
Ridgway have been become so over
crowded that it has been necessary to
open several emergency hospitals, and that
the Elks' building has been fitted up for
additional cases.
