Labor Department Inspectors win See
That the Law Is Not Violated

John Price jackson. Commissioner of
Labor and Industry, win this week is.
sue directions to the various deputy in.
spectors throughout tine State to be
careful to note that the laws relating to
the hours of work for. women and ehil.
dren are strictly observed. This is done
IN view of the fact that the holiday
business may tempt some employers to
work their employees longer than the

The woman labor law provides that
no female shall be employed more thar
six days week. more than fifty-four
hours in any one week or more than
ten hours in any one day. However,
during weeks in which legal holiday
occurs a woman MAJ be employed dur
ing three days of such week for a long
er period, but not over two extra hours
in any one of the three days or more
than the maximum hours per week
fixed by the law.

the deputies TO keep strict watch on
all places where female labor is EN-
ployed, more especially in the large
stores that handle holiday goods, and
any infraction of tn law will at once
be reported and prosecution entered.

TWO VIEWS OF A DANDY
In Which Carlyle and DR.. Holmes Took
Opposite Sides

When your gaze runs afoul of male
adorned with wrist watch and pink
socks and a purple necktie, think kind
ly or unkindly of hint all depends
upon whether you swear by Thomas
Carlyle or Oliver Wendell Holmes, both
of whom have furnished intimate de-
scriptions of the dandy" Says the
former in "Sartor Resartus:
ga dandy is a clothes wearing man
"a man whose trade, office and exist
ence is the wearing of clothes. Every
faculty of his soul, spirit, purse and
person is heroieally consecrated to this
one object, the wearing of clothes wise
! y and well, so that, as others dress to
live, he lives to dress.''
And now look on the other side of
the picture furnished by Holiness:
"There was Alcibiades, the 'curled
son of Clinias, an accomplished young
man, but what would be called swell
in these days. There was Aristotle,
distinguished writer of whom you have
heard-a regular dandy he was. So
was Marcus Antoninus, so was Sir
Humphrey Davy, so was Lord Palmers
ton, if / am not forgetful. Dandies such
as was speaking Of have rocked this
planet like a cradle-aye, and left it
swinging to this day. .''-Philadelphia

ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD
House Committee Lops OFF $1,000, 900
in Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Appropriation Bill
Ru Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. IA" Economy
was the watehword of the appropria-
tions committee in the preparation of
the Legislative, executive and Judicial
appropriation bill, first Of the big sup
ply measures, which was reported 10
the House to-day. The committee lep-
ped off nearly S2,000,000 from the
estimates Submitted by the various de-
partmentS cutting salary allowances
all along the line, and brought in a
measure appropristing S3S. S.i44,15S..
so. The bill provides for more than
10000 salaries OF government en-
pIoyes.
The total of the bill shows an iu-
crease of S1,12S,S43 over last year 5
measure. But this years measure IN
eludes special appropriation of S2,-
2S6,100 and aathorizeS one thousand
additional employees for taking the
agricultural census authorized BY the
law covering the last regular census
IN 1910. The committee in its report
says that this is an extraordinary ex-
penditure which will come once every
ten years, and maintains therefore that
this year 5 measure IS materially less
than the last appropriation.
The bill contains the usual provi-
sion cutting down the mileage allow
anee OF members of Congress from
twenty cents a mile to FIVE cents a
mile. The fight to cut down the mileage
allowance has been on for years, and
although the committee each reports
the reduction in the bill it is defeated
either on the floor of the House or in
the Senate.

LATE war news SUMMARY



have reached Punta. Arenas on tho
strait of Magellan without injury.
Reverses for Turkey at the hands Of
Russia on land and of England on the
sea were chronicled in to-day's oficial
war dispatches. Russian army head
quarters in the Caucasus reports that
the Turks whose strong resistance to
the invaders from the north compelled
them to retreat, have now been repulsed
everywhere and are being pursued be
yond the Euphratss river, suffering
heavy losses. The British admiralty an
nounces that the old Turkish battle
ship Messudieh, which carried 600 men,
has been destroyed by q British sub
marine. To accomplish the feat the sub
marine penetrated the supposedly i'm
pregnable Dardanelles.
The recent successes of the Servians
partly confirmed from Berlin are said
at Nish to have been extended. It is as
serted that the Austrians have been
unable to check their retreat before the
advancing Servians, who are sweeping
them out of their country.
A statement attributed to Field Mar
shall Won Der Goltz, who was sent by
the German government to CONSTANT
nople to direct the Turkish forces, in.
dicates that in the opinion of this man,
one of the leading German military au.
thorities, the war may drag on for a
long time. He Is quoted as saying that
Germany is prepared to carry on the
war for years but is certain to triumph
eventually.

FIGURE CITY CAN RAISE
S56S.3S9 ON Nine MILLS
Commissioners Start PAIRING Down Esti-
mates So That Total viii Approx
mate s545.OOO--Count on $50, 900
Balance In General Fund

Actual pairing of the 1915 city ap-
preparation bill which, revised figures
show, now contains requests totaling
something more than $56S,0e0, was be-
gun by the City Commissioners who
went into executive session beginning
at 8 O'Clock this afternoon. The aim
is to prune the several departmental
budgets so that the total appropriations
will not exceed S545,000, an amount
which it is believed can be raised with
tax rate of nine mills, or half mill
less than for the present year.
The half mill tax rate reduction plan
is based on the fact that at the close
Of the, present nine month fiscal
'year," there will be a balance of
something like $4,000 in the eity's
general fund and in addition. The sur
plus in the several departmental funds
will approximate something like S.
600 or $4,000. Besides that the value
of assessed property in the city has
during the year been boosted something
like 100000.
New buildings and property improve.
ments made during the year will total
approximately 100000 although part
OF this viii be offset by at least $780,
600 which will be lost through the raz-
ing of buildings in South Harrisburg
to permit the railroad companies to
make improvements and also by the
Stste taking over many of the Eighth
word properties in the Capitol Park ex-
tension zone.
The estimated receipts from general
taxation, aside from losses through ar
rors, commissions and generations. will
run close to s4S0.3S9 during the com
ing year. To that must be added the
following estimates: S26,000 from lq-
uor licenses; S24,500 tax on trolley
companies; s25,500 back taxes; So
600 from fines and forfeitures; SIS.
600 from mercantile tax, and $4,000
from other sources, making a total of
s533,3S9.
With an estimated balance of S35,-
600 remaining in the city general fund
at the close of the present nine-month
year, added there should be available
for use during 1915 something like
$o6S,SS9. In 1913, when the city 5
realty valuation was much less than at
present, there was available somethin.
like $4,000.
Some of the Commissioners this
morning had outlined plans for cut
ting appropriations. In one instance
the reductions total as much as $40
600. However these must be sanctioned
by the Commission as whole.
|, In discussions of the budget to-day
it was limited that the measure will not
be ready for printing tomorrow. 1t
may, however, be passed on first read
ing at tomorrow meeting, amended
at session likely TO be held on We'd
neSday and passed finally two days la
ter or at the regular meeting next
Tuesday.

"COLD STORAGE" DEFINED
Court Holds Eggs Can Be Placed ir
Cooling Room

The Dauphin county court in an, opin-
ion filed this afternoon directs the TAX
ing of mot guilty. verdict in the
case of H. W. Reve, an employe Of the
Brelsford Packing Company, who was
charged with violating the pure food
laws. Reve was held on a charge of
selling eggs which had been removed
from one cold storage warehouse and re-
stored in another.
What il was contended Reve actually
did was to sell a quantity of eggs that
had been removed from cold storage
and placed in a cooling room." The
court was asked to decide the technical
question of whether cooling room is a
place Of cold storage. Eggs removed
from cold storage, the law provides,
must be sold within thirty days after
they are taken out of such warehouse.
The cour: holds that the cooling
room is not cold storage and verdict
will be taken in favor of Reve. 1t was
an amicable suit to test the law.
