Bachelors to Get the
Preference in Some
Manufacturing Plants

Some manufacturers in this city and
vicinity, it is understood, are fostering
a sentiment which will give a severe
jolt to the custom of giving married
men preference over single persons
when they apply for positions. The
change of sentiment is caused by the
workmen's compensation law which
becomes effective January 1. providing
compensation to wives and children.
G. Beetem, of the firm of E. c. Beet
EN- and Son, carpet manufacturers in
Carlisle, said last night in the Board
of Trade at a meeting of manufactur-
ers. that in all probability he will en-
ploy only single men whenever posi-
bic after the act goes into effect. Sew
eral of the manufacturers did not
agree with Mr.. Beetem. however
claiming that it was q selfish move and
would arouse too strong a sentiment
against the manufacturer who adopted
this plan. Speakers last night were
Harry J. Shoemaker, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers Associa-
tion of Doylestown: John Fisher of
Philadelphia; Robert Biddle, Philadel-
phia; Joseph r. Grundy, Bristol, and
Charles Bunting, Philadelphia.

Another Sensational Report at CrO KeIers Drug Store
The Health Teacher Continues To Show Startling Results
James Leaan and Mrs. Croppe Tell Interesting Things Indeed

If you have not yet called on the
Health Teacher at Croll Keller's drug
store, No. 405 Market street, you
should not delay doing so a moment
longer, especially if you are an unfor-
tunate sufferer of rheumatism, catarrh
or stomach troubles. The results being
continually reported by people who
have already received marvellous bene-
fits from the use of the wonderful
Quaker remedies certainly are con-
vincing proofs of the curative power
they possess. The case of Mrs. Witte-
kind, complete particulars of which
appeared in this paper yesterday, has
created a tremendous sensation. For
over three years she suffered agonies
from stomach complaint-she tried all
kinds of medicines and treatments
without getting relief-but the aston
ishing results she received from the
Quaker remedies were fully described
She is now well and these results We're
obtained in less than four weeks. No
wonder she is now happy.
Yesterday James V. Leavan, age A,
collector and solicitor. said

the belief that Europe will get all the
cars it wants. You walk through ma
chine shops acres in extent, where
working parts are being turned out by
the thousand. In another shop hun
dreds of great machines are stamping
the part of the chassis out of sheet
metal. Then you come upon long
procession of skeleton cars moving
steadily down a long room on sort
of moving track. AT one point. front
and rear aNles are Joined together; at
another, wheels descend from the cell
ing and are attached: an engine comes
bouncing down an inclined plane and
is fixed in place in jiffy, while a
gasoline tank perches precariously
amidships, The car scarcely pauses.
Each workman seems to hit it about
one rap as II goes by. According to a
current story, a workman dropped his
wrench one day. and as a result of his
carelessness the next shipment TO Lon
don was eight cars short.
When the machine reaches the end
of the sliding track, gasoline is squirted
into 1t, boy perches upon the tank
and the car goes shooting across the
yard under its own power. 1t stops
under a high shed. A great crane
swoopS down and deposits a complete
chassis upon it. and one more car is
ready for Europe.
The motor makers do not seem to
anticipate any trouble from cranks or
spies. At the great steel and powder
mills farther East, there are guards
and detectives everywhere. You have
to pass regular examination in order
to gain admittance of employment,
while visitors are tabooed. Here one
company, at least, is taking hundreds
of visitors through its plant every
day. And the only question asked is,
What make of car do you own?"
This company has increased its assets
by more than $27.O00,00O in the last
ten months.
Whatever the ultimate effect of the
war boom may be, Detroit manufac-
turers will at least have demonstrat-
ed their product and established a
market in Europe. American light

Tops are made from the crates in
which they came. and they are put to
work transporting the wounded from
the field dressing stations to the hos
pitals. They are reported to be vastly
more efficient at getting oyer rough
ground and muddy roads than the
heavy European cars. American ma
chimes worth few hundred dollars
are making good along the front
where European cars worth a few
thousands are found ditched or mired
to the hubs
Motor companies are not the only
ones in Detroit that have profited by
the war. This is also a center for the
manufacture of drugs and medicines.
and the demand for these has, of
course, increased by leaps and bounds.
The stock of one big drug making con-
Germ has recently risen ten points.
But there are two sides to the drug
situation. Since Eprope has been in
the slaughtering business she has neg
lected to raise her usual crops Of
medicinal herbs. American manufac-
turers have always depended upon
Europe for about 8 per cent of their
raw material They now have n mar
ket for all that they can possibly pro-
duce, but the prices of raw drugs are
soaring to attitudes they have never
before reached in the memory of the
oldest pharmacist.
So the drug makers face the trying
situation of an unprecedented demand
together with q serious dearth of ma
terial. They prophesy a drug famine
in this country within a few weeks
unless there is a change in Europe
Despite their professional pessimism
however. they are following the ex-
ample of the manufacturers of motor
cars in making hay while the sun

London, Feb. 20.--With the stoppage
OF all cross-Channel traffic and the
suspension of the services to Flushing,
Great Britain was virtually cut of,
from the rest of Europe. This is the
salient development of the German
naval policy, the torpedoing of two
merchantmen affording earnest that
the German threats are to be followed
by execution.
The merchantmen attacked were
the Norwegian owned tank steamship
Belridge, New Orleans for Amsterdam,
with a cargo OF oil. and the French
steamer Dinorah. Havre for Dunkirk.
An Official statement issued by the
Admiralty says the Belridge was
struck by torpedo fred by = German
submarine near Folkestone. Pieces Of
the torpedo have been found on the
ship. The Belridge was beached at
Walmer with her forepeak awash.
After her crew OF nineteen had been
landed she was noated and arrange
ments were made for her to proceed
to Thames Haven conveyed by tug.
The Dinorah was torpedoed of
Dieppe by the German submarine U-16
but was lowed into port before she
could sink.
The 'cross-Channel services from
Irish to British ports are taking no
notice OF the German blockade.
AS yet, no retaliatory measures
against the German submarine and
mine blockade have been announced.
The British Foreign Office issued
two replies to notes OF the United
States Government. One was concern
ing the use of the American flag by
British vessels; the other related to
the WNhelmina, which recently put
In at Falmouth with cargo OF food
consigned by St. Louis commission
firm to its own agent, an American,
at Hamburg, to be sold only to the
civil population OF Germany.
Sir Edward Grey, the British For
eign Secretary, announced in the note
about the Wilhelmina that her cargo
had been held for q prize court He
intimated that Great Britain might de-
clare as contraband all foodstuffs
bound for Germany.
While justifying the Lusitanias fly
ing Of the Stars and Stripes, 1t is an,
nounced in the second note that there
is no intention OF advising ships to
run up foreign colors as a general
practice.

Typical Lessons in the Feet.

Because of the prevalence of foot
and-mouth disease in Europe and
South America, importations of live
stock are now limited practically te
shipments from Great Britain, Ire
land and the Channel Isles. Even
with these countries trade has been
interrupted several times in recent
years, for the government does not
permit the Importation of animals
lists, and there have been several out
breaks in Great Britain lately.
Up to November, 1906, American
ports were open to Belgium and Hol-
land. In that month, however, some
sheep we're taken into Belgium from
France, where the disease was quite
prevalent, and brought the pestilence
with them. By the end of the year
every province in Belgium was affect
I'D, and Holland as well. Since that
ime both OF sassS countries have
been fighting the disease, but have
LIT yet succeeded in eradicating it
i'm Italy, France. Switzerland, Ger
tied SO long and has gained such a
yfoothold that it is economically impos-
sible to fight it with the American
methods of slaughter and disinfection,
for to do SO would be to kill a large
percentage of the live stock in these
countries. In consequence, the au-
thoritfes appear to be making little or
no progress in their campaign. The
outbreak, for example, which APP
peared in Germany in 1888 increased
steadily until 1892, when it dimin-
ished gradually for few years, but
again reached great proportions in
1899. Thereafter It continued to exist
to greater or less extent until in
1911 it attained a virulence I'M
equaled before. In that year 1885,
369 cattle, 1.602.927 sheep, 1885,
hogs, and 1854 goats were affected.
AT that time the total number of cat
tie, sheep, swine and goats il Ger
many was only 51,319,000, whilo there
were in the United States 172,575, 1000,
or between three and four times as
many. 1t can readily be imagined,
therefore, what it would mean to the
United States if the disease were to
gan the foothold here that it had in
Germany where, as these figures
show. approximately one out of seven
of the animals susceptible to the dis
: ease was affected.
Since the mortality in the disease
is comparatively low, ranging from
only three per cent in mild form to
thirty or forty per cent in malignant
cases. the havoc caused by the pesti-
lence is sometimes underestimated.
