ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAKES BILL PLAIN
Mr.. Brown Takes the House Into
His Confidence in Regard to
the ReOrganizers

Members of the House of Represen-
tatives last night got a new line of in
formation on bills pending when At
torney General Brown sent to each
.assemblyman letter outlining the
purposes of the two bills to reorganize
his department. 1t was something
new for department chief to go right
to members with a letter on a bill
and the comments heard showed that
the legislators appreciated Mr.. Browns
frankness.
The letter was in part:
The legal business of the Common
wealth should be under the control
of one responsible head, manifestly
the Attorney General. This would in
sure a more efficient and satisfactory
disposition of such business.

existence. Other cases have gone

involving the administration of the de-
partmental laws of the Common

RE|DLEMAN PUTS
IN LOCAL MEASURES
Harrisburg State Hospital ApprO-
priatiOn Bill Sent to the
Senate Yesterday

Among bills introduced in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon was one. by
Mr.. Beidleman, Dauphin, to correct
some details in State supply contracts.
The bill makes a number of amend
ments which would facilitate pur-
chases.
Mr.. Beidleman also introduced these
bills:
Fixing salary of chief clerk of De-
partment of Mines at $4,000 and hVe
clerks at 81 500 each.
Appropriating $500 to Crittenton
Home.
Appropriating ss1,sOO for improve
ments at State hospital in this city
already outlined.
Authorizing Mr.. and Mrs r. ID. LutZ
and Mr.. and Mrs. o. II. Watts. of Mil
lersburg, to sue the State for injuries
received on the State highway near
Halifax September l. 1914.

id cted by private counsel in the em-
ploy of other departments, and OF
which notice was not given to the At
ltorney General. Further illustrations
could be given to demonstrate that the
control OF the State litigation should
be in the hands of the States legal
officer.
THE system proposed by these acts,
aside from promoting efficiency, Will
make an actual saving. During the
last two years the various depart
ments other than the Attorney Cen
erals, expended $91 ,655.35 for legal
services. During the same time there
was appropriated to the Attorney
Generals Department S72,500 and
$4,000 for outside attorneys, making
a total of $179,155.35 for legal services
for two years, or $S9,577.6S per year.
The bill proposed provides for annual
salaries in the Attorney Generals De-
partment of $63,100 being a saving,
Iif considered from that standpoint
alone, of $26, 6,477.6S.
ITO state it in another way, the ap-
preparation for the salaries of the
present force and for outside counsel
fees amounts to S51,250. The bill now
introduced provides for salaries
amounting to $63, 100, an increase of
only $11,S50. With this increase it Is
the intention to take care of the legal
business of the State, including the
collection of money due the State for
the maintenance of insane.
"As a matter of precaution there is
q provision in the bill for the employ
ment of additional assistants. If such
should be required in the experimental
stage brought about by this reorgani-
cation.
"The present salaries in the Attor-
ney Generals Department are made
quate and out of all proportion 70

SINGS IN THE FRENCH CAMPS
Minstrel Employed by the Ministry Of
War to Encourage the Soldiers
at the Front.

The role that the minstrel Taillefer
played at Hastings. that Roland took
at Roncevaux and Blondel filled when
he found the imprisoned Occur de Lion
in an Austrian castle, is being played
in the present war by Theodore Botrel,
the Breton poet, who has been sent
to the fighting line by M. Millerand.
the French minister of war, to sing
and recite patriotic and warlike chan
sons to the French soldiers. to inspire
them to mighty deeds. For the last
two months or more the picturesque
wide hat brim, his flying ribbon and
voluminous velvet breeches, looking
for all the world like the painted
figure in a piece of Breton pottery,
has been travelling. staff in hand, from
camp to camp, entertaining the fight
ing men of France with stirring bal
lads. Botrers work smacks of ancient
warfare and its customs more even
than the breastplate, hand grenades
and spears which have proved their
value on several occasions. No one
knew who thought of the plan, but
at any rate M. Mlllerand put it into
effect, and Botrel has made a great
impression upon the French armies.
The soldiers are gathered together
in big hall. an impromptu and gen.
orally insecure platform is rugged up
and Botrel stands forth to recite his
songs, some in the Breton dialect,
others in French. but all touched with
the lyric fame that carries simple
words and simple thoughts straight
to the hearts of the hearers.

Sheen shearinu a Crime.

A jury of - men in Circuit Judge
Davis court at Portland, Ore, de-
cided that shearing sheep in De-
cember and leaving them exposed
to the rigors of winter weather
is cruelty to animals. After be-
ing out four hours the jury returned
a verdict upholding the decision of
District Judge Jones in fining Lester
Willard, Troutdale sheepman, 500.
Humane society officials handled the
case, and it was they who caused the
arrest of Willard on December 10.
Wizards defense was that the shear
ing rid the sheep of ticks with which
they had been troubled. 1t was al
legged that a number of the sheep died
of exposure.

Hope Of Rescue Lies in Keeping Ones
Head and Putting Up Signals
Of Distress.

In Farm and Fireside contributor
reports some things he has learned
from Indians. II you have occasion to
do much travelling away from beaten
roads, especially in the woods, you
may profit by these helps. Following
is an extract from the article:
when passing through a wooded
country for the FIRST time. II you in
tend returning the same way OF prac-
tically the same way, blaze the trees
by shipping the bark at the height of
your own head every few hundred
yards. This will give you your direc-
tion when returning Or. to prevent
getting into the circle habit, break off
branches of the bushes or low-hung
limbs of the trees you pass. But II
you do get lost keep cool, do not run
around, but give signals of distress.
Start fire II your match case is with
you, as 1t always should be whether
you smoke or not. But IL you have no
matches take a dry handkerchief or
cotton lining of your coat, scrape out
a very fine lint, as much as you can.
Get some fine dead fiber from the
inner portion of bark or small dry
twigs or grass. BY using the crystal
of your watch, compass or spectacles
a sunglass can be made that will
ignite the lint (if the sun is shining)
that can be blown into a fire. Pile
damp wood on your fire and dense
smoke will arise far above the tree
tops and quickly attract attention.
Two fires should be built, one removed
few yards from the other. This con-
stitutes a well-known signal of dis
tress among woodsmen. If it is in the
night time select high hill or ridge
on which but little timber is growing
so that the blaze from the two fires
may be seen a long distance.

UNCLE SANS SKI REGIMENT
ThIrtleth Infantry May Add That to
Their Many Proud Service
Distinctions.

The United States transport Buford
crept into New York harbor the other
day, carrying the whole Thirtieth
regiment Of infantry, officers, men,
band, headquarters, machine gun and
ski attachments. Mark the ski de-
tachment. There isn't corps in the
service that can match the Thirtieth
in this unique distinction. You'd have
to go to Norway or some such coun-
try to find other troops that can
maneuver on curved boards.
The Thirtieth for the last two years
and some months and days-any off,
Ger can tell you the exact term of
service, with groans of disguised
reminiscence-has been stationed in
Alaska, where winter begins in Oc-
tober and lasts through June. II one
wants to get around after the snow
comes, snow shoes or skis are abso-
lutely essential. and as it is too cold
for close order drills, the army Off
GERS have taught their men to maneu-
yer on skis, the exercise being good
for them and the accomplishment of
value in a country like Alaska.
Lieutenant Osterman, battalion ad-
jutant, promoted this work at Nome,
and it met with great success, he said
He was obliged to formulate his own
drill, but eventually he had a COM
pany of skiers who could do all the
customary formations and maneuvers
in line and column.
Aside from its ski detachment, the
Thirtieth boasts another distinction
it is the first regiment to be shipped
from one coast to the other by way
of the Panama canal. Other regi-
ments have been sent down to the
Canal Zone to serve in the garrison
but no other has made a complete
trip through it and from coast to
coast.

HAS TREATMENT FOR TETANus
German Scientist Tells How He Sue
eessfulIy combated the Dread
MaIady.

| A student in Professor Won Behring's
laboratory accidentally broke flask
of tetanus germs, fragments OF the
glass penetrating among the tendons
of the palm of his hand. Won Rehring
describes in the Deutsche Medizini.
sche Wochenschrift how he treated the
case, which was about the most terri.
BILE wound a man could have, for mil
lions upon millions of tetanus germs
must have entered.
After antiseptic treatment an injec-
ton of antitoxin was made in the arm.
The wound healed, but after four days
lockjaw set in in the legs, shoulders,
jaws and eyelids The right armpit
was opened, the main nerve trunks
isolated and infilrated with the most
powerful serum. The tetanus was at
once checked; II soon vanished and It
has not required, though four months
have elapsed.
Won Behring says the poison of te-
tanus at once combines with the nerve
endings in the muscles. 1t enters
the blood, where 1t can be neutralized
by injections of antitoxin. The only
hope in a serious case like that of this
student is to apply the serum directly
to the main nerve trunks. The Medi-
cal Record comments that as Won Beh-
ring does not mention the dried anti
toxin as a wound dressing nor the in
lection OF the serum into the spine, he
indicates a radical Modification in the
treatment.
