NEW TRANSFER
PLAN ACCEPTED
Works Board Passes Favor
ably on Amended Troll
ley Agreement.

The Board of Works Commissioners
in conference today accepted the
amended transfer agreement sub
mitted by the Public Service Railway
Company. The amended agreement is
to be made a part of the trolley re-
routing and terminal plan. 1t was
passed by a vote of 4 to 1. Commits
sioner Charles P. Gillen alone voted
against accepting it.
The agreement will be submitted
to the commissioners tomorrow at
their regular weekly meeting.
A resolution was passed today max
ing two letters received from the
company and bearing the signature
of President Thomas N. McCarter, of
the Public Service Corporation, part
of the agreement.
The agreement provides for the es-
Enlistment of transfer zones by the
railway company. These zones will
protect the company against the
practise of looping" This consists
in a passenger riding from one point
to another and return on a single
fare.
A provision to prevent this practise
has been in the trolley company's
franchise for more than twenty years,
but has never been enforced. The
practise has become so widespread
now the company declares that some
action should be taken to stop it..
The Bergen, Clifton and Kinney lines
were designated by the letters as
routes on which transfers could be is
sued on transfers.
John L. O'Toole. publicity manager
of the Public Service Corporation,
represented that organization at the

.L|TTAUERS FINED
FOR SMUGGLING

Lucius Littauer had been taken into
consideration in dealing with them.
The principal article of jewelry
struggled in and concealed by the
Littauers was a diamond and pearl
tiara for which they paid $1,000
abroad, but which was worth consid-
erably more here. Their counsel con-
tended that the tiara might be
classed as an antique, and therefore
entitled to free entry. In announcing
sentence, however, Judge Thomas
said that the defendants did not de-
clare -the tiara as an antique when it
was entered and that their failure to
do so was proof of wrong intentions.
The penalties were equally divided
between the two offenses, $500 fine
and three months imprisonment
being imposed under each indictment
The fines were promptly paid.
Both the Littauers exhibited great
agitation during Judge Thomas's
speech, and when the prison sentence
was announced Lucius clutched the
table for support.
Judge Thomas said he had received
many letters from prominent men
pointing out the high standing of the
defendants and urging clemency.
The Littauers were paroled in the
custody of their counsel. The stay of
sentence means that the court will
watch their conduct for five years,
and the Jail penalty will hang over
them during that time.

in a favorable way to have prac-

discussed at a meeting held in the
Social Service building yesterday. The

Children's Aid Society. the Florence
Crittendon Home, the Christian
Refuge and the Bureau of Associated
Charities were represented.
The appointment of a special agent
to act for all of the societies in cases
of this nature was advocated, but no
definite action was kaken. 1t was de-
cided to advertise for homes for wom-
en- and children so placed. Any offers
made will be investigated and referred
temporarily to the Children's Aid So
ciety.
John A. Cullen, superintendent of

the children of women who work in
factories, and urged that some action
be taken in this matter.

That ends the episode But not
the discussion.
Nobody is put off the train and the
legislative employee is not separated
from his money.
All of which means that both sides
are bluffing. The first day some of
the pages fell for the bluff and AS
semblymen and Senators had to pay
their fares, but never again.
The legislative employees now
practically dare the railroad company
to put them off the train even when
they do not pay their fares. The
Pennsylvania regards the passes as
invalid but it is not ready to take
the risk of damage suit that would
follow the expulsion Of any of the
States legislative employees from
trains. Each side is waiting for the
other to make the next move.

IF PAST FIFTY
USE "CASCARETS"
What glasses are to Weak
eyes--Cascarets are to
. weak bowels.
Gel a 1O- box NOW

Get a lucent DON now
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age Is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic Is Cascarets, and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

In the grouping of fires as to
causes there is clearly apparent a line
of action for fire prevention work.
To learn that there were only twelve
fires from hot ashes during the year,
with the small loss of 1925. and only
26 rubbish fires, where the loss was
not much more than $4,000, is proof
that the energy of the department In
making people "clean house" was
productive of much good and proves
encouraging.
"On the other hand, 206 chimney
fires seem to be just FOG too many, but
to prevent these is a most difficult
problem. Careless use of matches re-
suited in 271 fires. If people cannot
be taught to be careful, it might be
we'll to take the ordinary matches
away from them. Fortunately, the
