As the public made the Spring mar ket the spublic's moods are to be reck- oned with. But there are indications that the public is not at bottom in a ttmood', but in a state of mind. Some securities may have run up as far as circumstances and prospects warrant for the time being But markets change radically only when conditions do so. This country has set before it every day a. picture of how much better off it is than any other in the enjoyment of peace. sound foundations and business promise.

SURGEON PRYOR WOULD { GIVE TARS NEW CLOTHES

Washington, April 26-F1at, broad collars. neckerchiefs, lanyards and balloon trousers which gave the old time sailors the same distinctive air which rum and tar gave wooden ves- sels, would be re1egated to the past by Surgeon J. e. Pryor, of the navy.
 None of these articles, says Sur geon Pryor, serves any useful pur- pose except occasionally the lanyard. The expansion of the trouser at the lower end serves no good purpose ex- cept to convey to the eye the tradi- tional picture of the sailor. The weight of the material composing the several articles, appear to be negligi- ble but in field operations. landing parties, etc, when each man must carry a heavy load at best, and it seems desirable to discard every weight or encumberance the sole function of which is appearance.

RUMOR PLOT WAS HATCHED TO
KIDNAP PRINCE Won BUELOW

Paris, May 22.-Prince Won Buelow
German Ambassador at Rome, will not
leave the Italian capital until compelled
to do so, according to the Rome CORE
spondent of the "Petit Journal"
A circumstantial story also is told
by the correspondent of report cur
rent in Rome that when popular agita-
tion against former Premier Giolitti
was at its height plot was formulated
to kidnap Prince Won Buelow from his
residence, the Villa Malta, but that the
plan was abandoned when Signor Clio
litti left Rome.
The "Petit Journals" correspond
ent is authority for the statement that
Prince Won Buelow has installed his
aged mother-in-law, Donna Laura
Minghett, in the Villa Malta in the
hope that the property will not be con-
fscated so long as it is occupied by
an Italian woman. He is said to have

MANY USES FOR GUNS
They Have Even Been the Means a.
Times of Saving Lives

Guns would not go even if warfare
were abolished. For example, the sig
nal gun of ship is used to announce
her arrival on coast. 1t would be
difficult to find an equally effective
substitute. The l o clock gun, too
which is fired by electricity from
Greenwich observatory, is the most eff
fective means possible of announcing
the exact time to surrounding towns,
while nothing more impressive could
be found than the minute guns fired
for public mourning and the salute Civ
en- on occasions of public re.joicings.
Guns save lives as well as take them.
In desert countries, where it is difficult
to collect water out of mere damp.
ness of sand, gun barrels are often
sunk into the ground. By this means
moisture is collected in the bore and
many lives have been preserved by a
timely draw at the muzzle
A SLAYER, captured with crew of
slaves in the tropics, was once put in
charge of prize crew. During the
voyage water ran out and slaves, slav.
ers and prize crew were all diving of
thirst. Then sergeant hit on a bril-.
liant idea. Taking all the available
gun barrels, he plugged up the breach
ends of a few of them, filed their
bores with sea water and set them end
up among the Goals of the galley fire.
Then as the steam rose he ran il
through the other gun barrels till it
cooled. The cooling steam collected in
the shape of excellent fresh water and
by this means scores of lives were
saved.-Pearson s Weekly.

|SUffRACISTS ARE after
SCALPS OF law makers
Associations President Calls on Con-
stituents Of Representatives Who
Voted Against Women Watchers
Bills, to Punish Them at the Polls

Mrs. Frank NJ Roessing. as president
of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association, sent out last night an open
letter to the constituents Of all the
Representatives whose votes helped to
defeat the bill in the House which
would have permitted women watchers
to be at the polls in November when
the suffrage question will be voted on,
In this county the letter was addressed
to the constituents OF Representative
John e. Nissley and Representative
Walter s. Young. The letter says in
part: f..t,.1
''Of course, if your Representatives
merely carried out your personal wishes
when they voted against a measure
framed to minimize the chances of
fraud at the polls, we have no criticism
to make. But we do not believe that
such is the case. We are convinced that
deep in the heart of every real man is
love of fair play. Therefore we feel
confident that your representatives did
not truly represent you when they voted
against this measure, and we, would ap-
preciate it if you would let the public
know that no man who betrays the
principles you stand for can expect
your vote as candidate for reelection
to the Legislature. aH
The letter also saws:
lnasmuch as members of the same
,well.organized lobby that defeated the
local option bill lobbied against the
watchers bill, we are curious to know
if their activities influenced your rep
resentatives votes, or of they voted
against our measure merely on the as.
sumption that you, their constituents,
were averse to giving womenfolk a
square deal.''

Trial by Jury

The New York Law Journal" SAYS
on the subject of trial by jury:
While we do not think that trial
by jury ought to be abolished or that
there is any increasing sentiment in
that direction, we do believe that the
system should be modified by dispensing
with the requirement for unanimous
verdicts. This would obviate the ele
ment of individual eccentrieity as an
lmpediment to the administration of
justice. Mental idiosyncrasy on the
part of judges is constantly exhibited
and scarcely excites comment. An emf.
nent and very able judge will dissent
from the ruling of his associates when
1T is extremely difficult to understand
how so gifted mind could have gone
off on that particular tangent. By per.
mltting affirmances or reversals, not.
withstanding dissent, the personal equa.

cries of "Long live the king" and
"Long live the house of Savoy"
Royal Family on Balcony
Finally the king and the queen and
the royal family came out upon the
balcony. His majesty was in the uni
form of a general. The crown prince,
dressed as sailor boy, waved his
cap to the multitude.
The excitement of the people arose
almost to delirium.
The king then did an unprecedented
thing. He gave orders that the Italian
flag be raised to the balcony. Then
amid the laundering cheers of the null
titude his majesty advanced to the ma
tional standard and folding it in his
arms embraced it. The royal family
then retired within the palace. Later
the king called a group of the alder
men inside and to them expressed his
gratitude for the loyalty and patriot
ism of the Roman people.
Loud Cheers For America
After the demonstration before the
Quirnal a great crowd with an Ameri-
can flag carried at the head went to
the residence of United States Ambas-
sador Page. Loud cheers for America
and demands for revenge for the Lusi-

DIES At HIS Home


on Monday afternoon with services at
his Lebanon home. The interment will
be private.
Mr.. Houck was one of the most
widely known politicians in the State.
In early life he was a mechanical en-
gineer with the American Iron and

cupation to take clerkship under

carrying Lebanon county for Olmsted
over E. NJ. Woomer, of Lebanon.
Later Mr.. Houck was appointed
postmaster of Lebanon by President
Mckinley. He served three terms in
that office. In October, 1918, he was
appointed chief of the Pennsylvania
Bureau of Statistics and Information
by John Price Jackson, the head of tho
Department of Labor and Industry.
The Legislature, that has Just adjourn
ed, raised the salary of the Office to
$4,000.
Mr.. Houck was an indefatigable
worker, and instituted many new plans
for the working of his bureau that
have produced beneficial results. He
was the son of DR.. Henry Houck, who
is now serving his third term as Sec
retary of Internal Affairs. He was re-
garded as the leading Republican
politician of Lebanon county. Mr..
Houck is survived by his wife and
three daughters.
The Office of the Bureau of Statistics
was closed this morning Immediately
on receipt of the news of Mr.. Houck s
death, and William H. Horner, one of
Mr.. Houck s. assistants, went to Leb-
anon to assist in preparations for the
funeral. Mr.. Houck Is death was shock
to everybody on Capitol Hill where he
was very popular.
