A STATES PROSPERITY

ERHAPS the most significant
monument to the energy, ability
and optimism of the manufac-
turers Of Pennsylvania is the
great Manufacturers Club building
dedicated this week in Philadelphia.
This institution represents the great
genius of the men of the metropolis
of the State and those from the in
terror who are identified with the or
ganization and will stand as a sub
stantial achievement of those who
are devoting their great abilities,
their courage and their creative talents
to the upbuilding of the prosperity of
an imperial Commonwealth.
More than two thousand of the
prominent manufacturers of the State
were present at the dedicatorial cere-
monies and these men are looking for
ward to a better day despite the dis
couragements and the interference of
a national administration which is
constantly burning incense at the
altar of theory and experiment at
frightful cost to the welfare of the
nation.

THOSE NEW HATS
BY Wing Dinger

The women in their new Spring suits,
Their narrow skirts and spats,
I've no complaint to make of, but
! do condemn their hats.
You get upon trolley car
And settle in your seat
Beside hat with pompon that
Sticks out about two feet.
You're feeling tired, and you yawn,
Your mouth you open wide,
And when you go to close it find
A ball of fuzz inside.
You open up your paper and
To read it then you try,
But every time there is jolt
You nearly lose an eye.
If stick-ups, stick-outs on their hats,
And other fads progress
Much farther, there won't be much fur
On cars for men, ! guess.
But traction companies soon will have
To run cars just for men,
Or charge for space that's occupied
And soak the women ten"

MAYOR PLAYING POLITICS

- URSUING his policy of making
- campaign material out of every
i meeting of City Council, Mayor
Royal indulged in another bit of
grandstand playing yesterday in his
opposition to certain items in the bud
get, especially those providing for the
city's share of the paving of Front
street between Kelker and Division
Since the decision in the Whitehall
street paving case there seems to be
no doubt whatever about the liability
Of the city for paving along the west
side of Front street where owners of
property have given the river strip
TO the city for park purposes.
City Solicitor Seitz will submit the
matter to the court for final decision
but there appears to be little question
about the liability of the city for this
assessment, and the items have been
embraced in the budget so that all
these matters can be cleared away
from the revenues of the present fiscal
year. While it might have been
possible to slightly reduce the millage
for 1914 and allow these obligations
to continue; it is the opinion of the
majority of the Council that 1t is bet
ter business to save interest charges
by providing for these unusual ex-
penditures at the present time and
avoid an increase of the mill rate next
year.
So long as Mayor Royal can play
politics his own way and provide for
his political favorites all Is lovely, but
there is no virtue whichever in any
thing that is done by the majority. He
sharges his three Republican col
leagues with playing the political
game when he has been doing nothing
else since the organization of the pres
cnt municipal body.

HOW TO LIVE 100 YEARS
Sir James Sawyers Eighteen Commandments Of Health

the house freer from germs. Never
brush your clothes indoors. The
amount of dust collected by our outer
clothing Is astonishing. II you have
ever beaten your coat in strong sun
shine you must have noticed the cloud
OF dust that arose. Keep all this sort
or thing out of the house just as much
as possible.
No. 3 probably refers to cold walls
and the draughts of cold or damp air
that pass up and down within them,
and is more applicable to the in
suffic1ently heated English homes than
to those of this country.
The last four rules open up the
psychological side of the question OF
proper living, which eminent ply
sicians arc giving more and more at
tention to. A healthy body depends
largely upon healthy mind. So 1t is
not well to let ones work drive out
diversion. The stimulating, healthful
effect of legitimate pleasure, change or
scene. relief from daily grind, variety
of interests is too well known to be
discussed and Sir James evidently be-.
lieves that contentment is better than
riches and cheerful disposition more
conducive to health than restlessnses
and vain 1ongings.

"a HUTT E r I n G S of discomfort
KE among the Democrats of Penn
lVx sylvania over the interference
of President Wilson in the pri-
mary campaign have reached the
White House and the result has been
announcements by several members of
the Cabinet who were expected to
come into this State and make
speeches for the Palmer-McCormic
ticket to the effect that under no cir
cumstances will they give comfort or
support to either faction.
Manifestly the rupture in the Democ-
racy OF Pennsylvania is more serious
than was imagined by the onlookers
of other parties, and it is exceedingly
doubtful whether there can be evolved
enough harmony to make a united
showing at the November election.
When the reorganization faction

ence at the White House some weeks

UTILITIES AND THE PUBLIC

"HE new attitude of public serv-
Ice corporations toward the
i people was very ably set forth
in the address of George B.
Iripp president of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce in his address
before the Bell telephone representa-
tives on Monday evening.
That there is such new attitude
distinctly new attltude-can scarcely
have escaped the notice OF ANYBODY
who has had dealings with tho big
corporations that are bidding for our
patronage, although the change has
come about so gradually as to be
hardly perceptible from year to wear.
1t is by comparing the methods of
public utility ms nagements of to-day
with those of ten or fifteen years ago
that the Improvement can be best an
preciated.
Consider for a moment the tele-
phone, the electric light and gas serv-
ice of fifteen years back. The most
advanced ideas and appliances of that
day are obsolete and almost entirely
out of service to-day. The equipment
of that date is mostly junk now or at
least worth no more. The managers
of these concerns have taken into
their consideration the word Service
as we'll as profit" They have come
TO understand that the public utilities
that serve best profit most IT is
purely matter of give and take.
So they have expended millions
upon millions of their earnings for
improvements, to the end that thew
may better serve their patrons. And
1t Is to be noted in this respect that
while the general cost of living has
advanced, and all manner of mate
rials are higher in price now than
formerly, the cost of phone service.
electricity and gas has been steadily
declining-this Notwithstanding the
vast sums spent for betterment and
the greatly improved service we to-
day enjoy.
Public service corporations have
felt the strong arm of the law in re-
cent years. Public sentiment has not
been very lenient with them. They
have been numerically flayed for
their faults, real aid fancied. In MANY
cases they have deserved all they re-
ceived. But in our final judgment we
must not forget that the utilities man.
ager of to-day has a very high ideal
OF service to be rendered, that he is
giving us better service for less money
than ne received a decade or more

IA. Watch the three D's-drinking
water, damp and drains.
Is. Have change of occupation.
16. Take frequent and short vaca-

II. Limit your ambitions.
is. Keep your temper.
These injunctions are entirely un--
technical. full of common sense and
with no fads in evidence. Sir James
lays down no laws difficult to follow,
he prescribes no expensive regime, he
outlines no time-consuming exercises.
Anyone who really wishes to follow
this advice need not be deferred from
doing so by lack Of time, opportunity
