FOREIGNER ATTACKS
WOMAN IN BED
Her Screams Bring Assistance,
but Assailant Makes
Getaway

Alone in her bedroom at her home
in Good street. shortly after 1 o'clock
this morning. Mrs. Catherine Drummer
was attacked by an unidentified
foreigner, choked and brutally beaten.
The assailant evidently gained en-
trance to the Drummer home through a
rear window. without disturbing any
thing in the rooms on the first floor,
according to the police, the intruder
went direct to Mrs. Brunners room.
Her husband was absent
Mrs. Drummer was awakened by the
feeling of the foreigners hands about
her throat. Before she could scream her
assailant frightened his grip, making
IL impossible for her to make sound.
Terrorized. Mrs. Brunner began to
fight back at the brute who Missed
terrible threats as the grip about her
throat was frightened. With a super
human effort she broke the grip on her
throat and struck the assailant full
across his leaning face.
Before she could spring out of bed
to summon help, however, he made
another lunge at her, striking her over
the face with his fist. AS the woman
left out one long agoniZed scream for
help the foreigner suddenly ceased his
attack and fled.
Members of the family and neighbors
came to Mrs. Brunner's aid and ply
sician was summoned. To-day she is in
precarious condition. The police
have been notified of the attack and
an arrest will likely be made before
the day is over.

YOU CAN'T RUB IT OUT

The pain of rheumatism is some
thing that you cannot rub out. Every
sufferer from rheumatism has been
advised to rub this or that on the af-
fected part but after all the rubbing
the pain remained.
Thin blood and rheumatism come
together and if they are properly
treated they will go together One
prominent medical writer says that
there is no acute febrile disease in
which an anemia occurs with greater
rapidity." Anemia means thin blood
and thin blood is something that can
be corrected, so why not build up the
blood until the rheumatic poisons are
driven out?
This is exactly what Is done in the
treatment of rheumatism with DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Acute, muscu-
lar and articular rheumatism all show
improvement as the thin blood is
built up and when the poisons in the
blood are burned up and driven out
long as the blood is kept rich and
red.
Care in the diet is important dur
ing the treatment and every rheu-
matte sufferer should have two book
let's published by the DIR. williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y,
called Building Up the Blood" and
What to Eat and How to Eat" They
are free on request. Your own drug

1ssaaszas1B partment The act
of 1911 established 296 main routes
and the General Assembly of two years
ago picked out seventy-seven of about
100 routes suggested by legislation and
incorporated them in one bill.
This increase of routes will add over
1000 miles to the State system and
steps to take over the repair and
maintenance will be taken as soon as
money is available. Under the pres
ent policy of the State Highway De-
partment attention is being given to
the repair and maintenance of the
roads rather than to new construction
and but little beyond putting the new
routes into good condition can be done
in the next two years.
This week Governor Brumbaugh is
expected to act upon the general ap-
preparation and highway department
appropriation bills and the work of
the department on the highways will
be outlined when it is seen how much
money can be spared.
over thirty bills for new routes were
introduced at the recent session but
only one passed, all others being held
in committee because of the burden of
expense they would entail. The single
bill to pass was for short highway
in Adams county which would connect
with the proposed Lincoln highway to
Washington.
$50 to Attend.-Estimates made at
the Adjutant Generals Department
are that $50 infantry officers of the
National Guard will attend the camp
of instruction at Mt. Gretna this week.
Since the last camp some of the in
fantry organizations have been trans
ferred to cavalry and it is probable
that within year some will be trans
ferred to the artillery arm.
Governor Brumbaugh to Return
Governor Brumbaugh will return to
the city tonight and take up con-
sideration of bills. The task of reduc
ing the appropriations will be greater
than anticipated in the opinion of peo-
pie at the Capitol. The Governor will
dispose of the general appropriation
bill first and make others fit the cloth.
Battery Parades.-The new Bat
terry A, recently established at South
Bethlehem. held its first parade on
Saturday on Memorial Day.
Commission to Meet-The Public
Service Commission will begin its
meetings tomorrow with the Phila-
delphia Milk Exchange case, the first
set for hearing.
-Dougherty in Actlon.-Major Cen
eral C. p. Dougherty has gotten into
a discussion with one of the Wilkes
Barre ministers on his sermons on
peace and armament. The major gen.
eral is vigorous in getting after the
clergyman.
Observed the Day.-Capitol Hill OBJ
served Memorial Day. Every depart
ment was closed, although the legis-
lative halls and the Governors recep-
ton room were open to visitors and
guides were on duty.
To attend Commcncement.-D
John Price Jackson, commissioner of

The statistics regarding bluebirdS
are particularly gratifying. Only a
few years ago nearly the whole blue
bird population of the Eastern United
States was destroyed by a severe win
ter, but there are now several million
bluebirds inlthis locality.
AS for density of population, on
each acre of farm land covered by the
census. there was an average of one
pair of birds. The record for density
comes from Chevy Chase, Nd, where
161 pairs were found nesting on 23
acres. Thirty-four species of birds
were represented.
While there are no previous official
censuses of the Federal government
that are comparable with this one,
several censuses have before been
taken by individuals on more or
less limited areas. One census
very closely with the government S
census as far as the total number of
birds is concerned. 1t differs. how
ever regarding the number of Eng
lish sparrows, Showing 106 pairs to the
square mile or IS to every 100 native
birds. while the new censsu, as pre-
viously stated, showed only so pairs to
the square mile or I to every 100.
The present bird population is much
less than it ought to be, according to
the biologists. If birds were given
more protection and encouragement
there would be an increase in num-
bers which would be accompanied by
a corresponding decrease in the num-
ber of insect pests. That breeding
birds prefer thickly-inhabited centers
of population to forests is one of the
conclusions of the census. This seems
to refute the widespread belief that
humans and birds are, naturally an
tagonisMic. 1t also seems probably
that as our human popoulation in
creases so will our bird poplation.
Volunteer Census Takers Desired for
1915
The biologists of the department
plan to repeat this census for several
years and on a much larger scale If
bird lovers throughout the land are
willing to aid in the work. The de-
partments Biological Survey furnishes
the necessary instruction and report
blanks to whoever wishes to cooper
ate. There are no funds to pay for
this work and 1t therefore depends
on volunteer observers Farmers in
the West and South are particularly
requested to help, as these sections
did not receive sufficient attention
during the past year. The 1915 circu-
lar of instructions will be sent early
in the Spring to the volunteer census
takers.

CENSUS SHOWS 10
SPARROWS TO MILE
American Birds Are Too Few, but
Figures Prove Their Number
Is Increasing

Sixty pairs of English sparrows to
the square mile, or to every 100 ma
tive birds, is the average throughout
the United States, according to the
preliminary census of birds of the
United States" taken under the direc-
ton of government biologists. Bird
lovers may obtain Bulletin No. 1877
which tells about this census, by writ
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, d. c.
The census seems to show that the
bird most abundantly found In the
United States is the robin, with the
English sparrow a close second. In
the northeastern United States, where
the census was most thorough, there
were, on an average, six pairs of rob
ins to each farm OF SO acres. English
sparrows averaged five pairs per farm.
No other bird is anywhere nearly so
abundant as either of these but some
are numerous enough to make their
total run well into the millions. TAX

able birds were noted in the following
