piled on state valuations as, yet for
the present year, the increase in
assessed valuation over the figures of
last year will be approximately $l0,-
100000, which will bring the assess
ed valuation of the state up to almost
$3.50, 100000. Most of the increase

CITY KIDDIES
ARE REFORMING
Juvenile Court Judge Hears
Good Reports From Boys
on Probation

This was reporting day in Juvenile
Court. Previous to getting into court
the boys had transgressed the laws
OF honesty while others had been dis
orderly, smoked cigarettes and did
lots of minor things far from edifying
They we're placed on parole after be-
ing arrested and today was the time
for them to report to Judge Latto-
mus.
Chief Probation Oficer Farra re-
ported that he had visited the homes
Of the boys during The month and had
received good reports from all with
the exception of two, who had failed
to be in their homes at a proper
hour and broke into a business place
a few nights ago.
Many of the lads who reported this
morning told Judge Lattomus that
they have been working. Others said
they expect to go to school the COM
ing week. Cigarettes have been ta-
booed by them and the boys are at
tending Sunday school. Judge Lat
tomus congratulated the boys and ex-
pressed the hope that they would con-
tinue to lead honest, upright lives
There will be a constant watch kept
on the boys while they report to the
court monthly. Two girls reported
later and they, too, are doing well.

YOUR BIKE
and BABY COACH
Also, Don't Buy a New Trunk
Until You Read Railroads
New Rules

Recent orders regarding the hand
ling Of baggage and bicycles on the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
will have the passengers guessing
until they are we'll informed as to
the meaning Of the new rules.
Bicycles and baby carriages are no
longer carried free of charge for pas
sengers holding tickets over the lines
Of the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
way.
Protests by travellers who in the
past have been accustomed to taking
bicycles OF baby carriages with them
and having them checked on their
tickets, as they would a trunk. suit
case or other parcel, are made to con-
ductors, but the latter refer 10 a rul-
ing of the company which became
effective when fares were advanced
on August 1.
Bicycles and baby carriages, car
ried within the state Of Pennsylvania,
are now classed by the railroad COM
pany as excess baggage. They are
checked only at excess baggage rates,
at minimum Of fifty pounds, regard
less Of the weight
the minimum charge Of 25 cents for
a bicycle or baby carriage. Whether
the traveller Is going a mile or as far
as New York, he must pay at least
25 cents for the transported OF
either article He cannot cb %. them
on his ticket.
In New Jersey stat law forces
the railroads to carr bicycles be-
tween any two statiens within that
Commonwealth free II charge. Baby
carriages, however. are charged for
as excess baggage
There is one ex option to the charge
for baby carria' IS. Those that would
and can be tsA Aen into the coaches by
passengers are carried free.
The Pennsylvania railroad also
! charges for the transportation Of
bicycles ! and baby carriages and
checks them as excess baggage. IL
has been doing so for more than a
year with bicycles and for at least
four months with baby carriages
Dogs are charged for at the rate of
one-quarter Of a cent a mile
II you have any idea Of taking a
railroad trip next summer, do not
order trunk until you have read the
latest order which the railroads east
Of Chicago plan to issue.
Effective July I next, the railroads
will not carry In their baggage cars
any trunk the greatest dimensions OF
which shall exceed seventy inches.
Anything in excess of that figure will
have to be shipped by freight or ex-
press.
Also. on all trunks OF which the
greatest dimensions shall exceed 45
inches there will be an extra charge
per inch equal to ten pounds Of excess
baggage In other words. II the trunk
should measure forty-six inches, the
extra inch will have to be paid for at
the rate which the company ordinarily
charges for ten pounds Of excess bag
gage.

MANY SOLDIERS SEEK RELEASE
FROM THE ARMY BY PURCHASE

WASHINGTON, September 2-Rea-
sons which prompt so many soldiers
to seek release from the United States
army by the purchase of their dis
charge is inexplicable to Major. Gen.
Frederick ID. Grant
He commanded the department Of
the east during the last fiscal year
and In a report to the war department
says that 623 applications for dis
charge by purchase we're acted upon
by his department during the year.
1T seems incredible to me- Gen.
Grant says, that so many soldiers
in times like the present, when in
dustrial conditions in our country
are not the best, should desire to
leave the service and are willing 70
pay a sum, which to them is consid-
erable, for the privilege of doing So
When one thinks Of the generous
provision the government makes for
its soldiers, this restlessnes cannot be
accounted for"
