FEAR FOR PARENTS OF
MAX KEIL IN AUSTRIA

Considerable anxiety for his parents
who are in Austria, near the scene of
present fighting. is felt by Max Keil,
of No. 300 East Fourth street, this
city. The first word he has received
since the outbreak Of the war. came
the other day, he says. through an old
school teacher.
Food is very scarce. his informant
said. and The Austrian government
has confscated money in banks. Mr..
Keils parents were at Goolice. a mile
from the scene of heavy fighting. at
the time the letter was written. Their
plight was told of by a WOLF Lind.
who was forced to walk many miles
afoot before reaching a place of safety
in Hungary.
Mr.. keil's sister has not heard from
her husband since he left to Join the
Austrian army at the first of the war.
He has sent her money through the
American Embassy, but has not writ
ten to her, or, at least she has re-
ceived no word.

P.R.R. Saves MONEY
Limiting SUPPLIES
RequiSitionS for Office Ma
terialS Under SyS-
tenn Now
NO WASTE AS
OF FORMER DAYS

For the purpose Of effecting eco
nomics and cutting out waste among
clerks and other employees in Penn
sylyania railroad offices. the COM
pany, for the past several years. has
been conducting campaign along
this line and has asked its large force
to be more observing in the amount OF
supplies that are used. The system
discovers various leakages in differ
ent kinds of Office supplies, which in
wolves the expenditure of thousands
of dollars by the company every year
Until several years ago clerks in
making requisition for supplies. such
as stationery. pens, pencils, erasers
and numerous other things used
about the Office, did il at random and,
IL is said, there was often waste. At
ter studying the matter. the railroad
officials decided to place a limit on
all supplies distributed in its offices.
Small stations were said to be
those in which the greatest waste OF
supplies occurred. Little attention,
except spasmodically, has been paid
to matters of this kind, employees
using RAAAdiN oAUUAAics uAltoo III "a
treme cases, being considered the
best judges Of the requirements of
their own Offices. All officers now
are supplied as heretofore with all
necessary materials, but persons hav-
ing authority to make acquisitions for
office uses are being instructed to
keep their stocks of materials on
hand down to reasonable limit.
Prior to the Inauguration of the
economy system many agents had
fallen into the rut of ordering all they
could get every month, and allowing
large stocks of unused stationery and
all kinds of supplies to accumulate.
This practice has. by this time, been
entirely overcome.
Economy campaigns have been in
stituted by other roads The big sys-
TENS have been finding that immense
quantities of forms Of various kinds,
and other supplies, evidently far in
excess of current wants, have been
ordered at many stations. These sup
plies became soiled and unfit for use
after a time. The Philadelphia and
/ Reading railway has just instituted
an inspection for the purpose Of elm
mating waste in freight. ticket and
baggage Offices. The inspection is
made under the guidance of division
superintendents.
