RUNAWAY PENNSCROVE
GIRLS ARE Sent Home

The police took in custody last
night three runaway girls from Penns-
grove, n. j., who were returned to
their homes on the 8 O'Clock boat.
They were: Annie Levin, aged 10
years; Lillian Simon. aged II years,
and Bessie May Hess. aged IL years.
Little Miss Levin got her weekly
report at school yesterday afternoon,
and she saw that it was below stan
dard. She said she was afraid to
take it home and show it to her par
ents because she was afraid she would
be given a whipping for being so low
in her studies. She therefore resolved
not to go home.
She impaired her plans to the
Simon and Hess girls and told them
she was going to run away. They
decided they would go with her. They
had twenty cents among them, but
they believed this would be sufficient
TO take them anywhere they desired
to go.
Thy got on the ferry boat to come
to this city, but then the Simon and
Hess girls became faint hearted and
thought they would rather return to
their homes. But before they could
get Off, the boat drew away from
the wharf and they were brought to
this city Here the police took charge
of them and turned them over to
Matron Davis.

Effect of The Automobile on
Railway Passenger Traffic
New York sum-
From the New York SUM-

nish the principal cause for the fall
ing off of railroad travel lately, there
is another cause just now inviting the
serious consideration OF railroad men
and not to be explained by abnormal
conditions.
The automobile has for some time
been making its effect steadily felt
upOn railroad revenus, particularly
here in the east II Is being felt most
severely by railroads doing a large
short haul business. such as the New
Haven. The number Of passengers
passing through Bostons South Sta
ton. the busiest terminal in point of
traffic in the country, was 36S, 900 less
than In 1912. Compared with 1914
there was a falling off of Z per cent.
In the number OF those who used this
station. This traffic is very largely
short haul and these figures may
measure the inroads being made by
the automobile upon the passenger
business of one OF the largest pas
senger carrying railroads.
In the face of this growing compe'
tition of the motor car it is encour-
aging to find railroad mar like Fres-
ident Elliott taking a cheerful view of
the future and find ing room in e for
both kinds Of locomotives. Speaking
recently to the American Association
of Travelling Passenger Agents on this
growing competition. he said: Il am
not one of those who believe that
anything that improves the means of
transportation will eventually iEiure
the railroads; so. while tie automo.
bile has taken business from us, in
time it will produce additional bust
ness and help the movement of peo-
pie all over the country"
As a people it is doubtful If we are
less inclined to see the country than
formerly. Rather we are merely find
ing new ways of doing it.

JOFFRE Will COMMAND
French FOR The PRESENT
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
PARIS, Dec. 4.-Despite current ru-
mors, il is authoritatively stated that
no successor to General Joffre will be
appointed to take command on the
western front at present.
This dispatch from Paris is the first
lntimaton that any successor has
been considered for the French com
mander-in-chief and comes as a dis
unct surprise. Only this week, Cen
eral Joifre was appointed to supreme
command Of the French forces on the
continent and his selection was hailed
in dispatches from Paris as a tribute
to his ability.
The fact that the French censor
saw iit to pass message denying the
rumors and stating that no successor
will be appointed ''at present" may be

Almost without exception the inn
portant railroads show decreases in
their passenger revenues for the fiscal
year that ended last June. These de-
creases, now coming to light in their
annual reports. have been startling
even to railroad officials who through
out the year had been cognizant Of
the direction passenger revenues
were taking. Thus the Southern Pa
cific showed a falling off IN passenger
revenues, of 81 $40 900. the Northern
Pacific about S2,OOO.0OO. and the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
about S1500,00O.
These decreases apparently are not
to be explained geographically. They
occur east as well as west. north as
well as south. No less shrewd an
observer of railroad conditions than
Howard Elliott has pointed to them
as indicating in his opinion. that
the travelling habit of the people in
the last few years has decreased CON
siderably."

AWNING ON OTHER
PEOPLES MONEY

How many people in this com
mHnity are living on their own
money?
II the question was put to each
PERSON individually he unquestiona-
bly, would answer that he is living
on his own funds. And he doubt
less would De sincere in his state
ment.
But are we really living on our
own money?
Lets dig down under the surface
and see what we find.
For the sake Of argument we will
assume that you are running an az
count with the grocer, and the
butcher, and possibly other MERCK
ants.
You pay, of course, but perhaps
you make settlement only every six
ty or ninety days. Some even pay
their bills only twice a year. Now,
was it your money that paid the
wholesaler for the goods you are
using, and for which you have not
paid, or was it the merchants?
And ii it was the merchants and
you have not paid him, is it your
money you are living on until set
| Element day, or is it his?
we contend that fully One-half
the people are living from day to
day on other peoples mo ney, and
by so doing they are themselves di-
rectly contributing to the present
high cost o. living.
! Now control your rising anger Tor
a moment, and we will humbly en-
deavor to show you why you are
Keeping prices up.
Inc average mercantile stock
| costs several thousands of dollars,
| and it must be paid for in cash or
the merchant must obtain a line of
| credit from the wholesaler. And
when he buys his goods on credit
he pays a higher price for them.
In turn you buy your goods from
the merchant on credit. and he in
self defense must add still an add
! tiOnal safety profit. In other
words, he must charge more than q
cash price in order to protect him
self from the certainty of loss con
seQuent upon slow collections, bad
debts and other annoyances.
Thus two safety profits arr
added to the original selling prices
OF the article.
DO you see how it works-hoW
; the price is boosted?
If every customer paid spot casl
for his goods, the merchant in turn
could do the same with the whole
saler, thereby securing from The
| latter a discount for cash of posi-
| bly, from rs to 10 per cent.
And then the merchant himsel
would not be required to add thu
safety profit" to his goods, whicl
= would mean a~other substantial re
: duction in the price of the article

) pediency of handing the cash owe

the counter.
Now, doesn't it look as though
this practice Of living on other peo-
pies money is costing us consider
ably more than We are justified in
paying for such a doubtful privi-
lege?
1t might require some slight in
convenience and a little TEMPORARY
retrenchment in order to change
over to cash system, but if a mer-
chant made you a flat offer of fiji
teen or twenty per cent discount
Tor cash you would jump at the op-
portunity.
Doesn't it appear to be to the adj
vantage of everybody in this COM
munlty to wipe out the banefuI
credit system and buy and sell for
cash?
it certainly looks that way 70 lis.
How does it appear to you?
