PENNSCROVE PEOPLE
OPPOSE HEALTH CODE
Condemnation of Wells
Starts Revolt Among
Property Owners
CHEMISTS SAY
WATER is PURE

PENNSGROVE, N. j., Oct. 19.-
Deprived of the use of wells from
which they have taken their supply
of water for years and forced to SUD-
nit to strict sanitary rules, residents
of this town held an indignation meet
ing last night and started a revolt
against what they declare is an arbi-
trary health code.
The meeting was called as the re-
suit of the receipt last week by 100
residents of notices from the local
Board of Health notifying them that
their wells have been condemned
These wells we're inspected by Dr. l..
C. Knight, a Philadelphia sanitary ex-
pert and samples of the water were
analysed by the State Board OF Health
laboratories at Trenton. Half doz-
en- citizens took their own samples OF
wells widely separated and submitted
them to DR.. Frank Roop Smith, OF
Wilmington. who declared he found
little If anything harmful in the water
and said It was better for drinking
purposes than the filtered Brandywine
water served in Wilmington.
Six of the citizens were recently
fined $500 in the aggregate for infrac-
tion of the new health code, and the
we'll owners are afraid of similar pen
alties if they persist in the use of the
condemned wells. The local water
company is now charging a fee OF
S14 for making connections to the
water system. These connections
were made free until recently.
State health authorities, who have
been active here and who are back
ing Doctor Knight who is the paid
expert of the DUPONT Powder Com.
pany, insists that the health rules
must be observed to prevent an out
break of disease.

'sWhen Women Get the Vote"
LOVE CAN NOW
GO BY PARCEL POST
Uncle Sam Comes to Aid of Dan Gu
pid and High Cost of Loving
Gets a Set Back.

Love notes, with parcel post pack
ages of candy or flowers, can now be
dispatched under specially reduced
rates, according to a recent ruling of
the postoffice department at Wash
ington.
Heretofore when lovers wished to
send to their sweethearts missives
conveying sweet nothings" attached
to parcel post packages of flowers or
candy they were obliged to pay first
class postage rates on both package
and note.
Not so now, Uncle Sam has come
to the aid of Dan Cupid, and the
high cost of loving is suffering a
setback.
The new ruling allows the senders
of such notes to pay first-class rates
on the notes alone, while the pack
ages may be sent by the usual fourth
class rate.
Parcels and letters which are mail
ed together in this manner, the de-
partment says, will be delivered to
the addresses at the same time, thus
avoiding delays and embarrassments
which frequently resulted under the
old system.

More than 1874, 900 policies of ordi-
nary life insurance to the amount of
more than 1891, 100000 were surren-
dered to American life insurance
companies in 1913. Industrial life
insurance to the amount of more
than $24,20O,000 was surrendered
also. The record for 1914 is not
available at present.
In the record of death claims were
many accident cases. The death
claims due to the Lusitania disaster
will appear in the record of 1915 to
the amount of more than $1,3OO,OOO
of life and accident insurance.
In the course of the compilation of
HE insurance payments in 1914 the
names of women appeared frequent
~. A notable payment wasfor $685.
600. The report of the Medico-Actu-
arial Mortality Investigation, the
most extensive ever attempted in the
history of life insurance, indicates
that unmarried women, particularly
those who are self-supporting, may be
insured, and that they are excellent
risks. Therefore, the discrimination
against woman is disappearing rap
idly.
Largest Claim in Years Record.
The largest claim paid last year
was on the policy that had been held
by George w. Vanderbilt, whose res
idence was in Washington. The pol
icy was for $1,000,00O. The company
that issued it reinsured $750,000 of
the face amount. Within an hour af-
ter the presentation of the proofs of
death a check for 100000 to the
order of Edith S. Vanderbilt, execu-
triX, was signed and delivered.
Mr.. Vanderbilt carried the policy
on the twenty-payment life plan sew
enteen years. During that period he
paid in premiums to the amount of
$685., 900. A man of much wealth, he
knew that in event of sudden death
a large amount of ready money might
be needed for immediate emergencies
and the avoidance of disturbance of
large investments in big enterprises.

"And just as in the case of men,

"Suffragists say women will not
lose anything in their legal status by
acquiring the ballot. In other words,
you can eat your cake and have it.,
too.
"Women have lost their dover
rights in most of the suffrage states;
their earnings belong to their hus-
bands unless they live separate; in
several of them they cannot acquire
separate property except by gift or

BIB AND SUMTER
LOSE AUTO TAX FUND
Failed to Register Ninety Per Cent
of Autos in Counties. Fannin
and Mcintosh Also Lose.


ATLANTA.-Bibb and Sumter
counties are not among the list pre-
pared to share in the returns from
the state sale of automobile tags this
year. The list was completed this
morning and sent in by Secretary
Cook for warrants to be drawn for
distribution of the money. The fund
to be divided this year amounts to
$110, 900 against $4,000 last year.
In this fund every county in the state
will share, save four-Fannin and
Mcintosh, which have no rural free
delivery mileage, and Bibb and Sum
ter which the secretary of state says
have not complied with the state
law controlling the division of the
money.
The fund accruing from the sale
of automobile tags-no matter how
much each county may contribute to-
ward that funds divided among
all the counties on tho basis of the
number of rural free delivery miles
in the county. However, the law
provided that no county in the state
shall participate in the fund wherein
there shall be ten per cent of the
total number of automobiles in that
county unregistered; that is, it
makes it obligatory on the part of
the secretary of state to withhold the
apportionment such counties other
wise would be entitled to. 1t is
shown that there are 387 unregister-
ed automobiles in Bib, which is
greater than ten per cent of the cars,
and in Sumter there are 416 unreg-
istered. This means that Bibb will
lose $500 and Sumter will lose ST.
700 on the basis of rural delivery
mileage.

ruled various parts of this coast at
different times. The heavy ground
tone of this shore people is Slavo-
nian, but there is besides tumble Of
almost every other racial element I'M
der the sun.
The Lower Coast.
From Triest downward the SIa-
vonians predominant. Latin writers
noted that these Slovenian tribes
knew no form of monarchial govern
ment, but that all matters of the
tribe were dealt with by a common
national council. And today the in
dividual Dalmatian and Istcian is one
of the sturdiest independ These
Slavonians worshipped god of tt I'M
der, sacred groves, nymphs and ge-
nil, special-powered beings of all de-
scriptions, and they still do many odd
fetish services, though more Christ
ian peoples of more simple and
abundant faith are not to be found.
Vampires, diabolical ghosts and
witches, 'Vilen' and vengeful spirits
are held in great respect throughout
this country and the folklore is rich
in their doings and in the common
mortal's philosophy Of self-praserva-
ton in a world filled with such dis
couraging things. The alp or night
mare, is a bitter old maid, recogniza-
BILE by her garb, who sits on the back
or breast of the sleeper and torment5
him, mayhap fatally. She cannot,
for some reason or other, sit upon
the sleepers side, and so the true
Dalmatian never thinks of sleeping
in any other way than on his side.
Fear of Vampires.
1.-The vampire pursues his peculiar
Dalmatian orgies in The guise of a
man or woman, lately dead and of
faulty existence, and is said to be
merely a human skin filled with
blood and covered with a shroud.
This creature waits at night along
byways and graVeyards for his VIC
Tins, and. also, at times, rattles the
window shutters or throws down tiles
from the roof. A thorn-stick for
'thrusting the vampire through is a
means of protection found adequate
through experience. 1t is, more
over unusually dangerous to call to
vampire.
Witches are bad weather Great
ures; their evil is unfettered only
with the storm and mist. To kill
them one throws three grains of corn
and d wax candle at the lightning be-
fore the thunder sounds. Thus they
are best killed while the storm is yet
a great way off.
''Vilen are maids with horses
hoofs. Mostly these wien or wood
creatures are good and tolerant of
human happiness, but they have a
fatal tendency for stealing handsome
newborn children. The newly arr wed
baby, therefore, in a Dalmatian dis
trict frequented by wien is closely
watched until baptism, when the alb
ductOrs are powerless.
Throw Salt at the Clouds.
'To preserve their vineyards from
summer hail the peasants throw salt
and shredded garlic at the black
clouds. In order to force the vines
to bear fruitfully children are taken
into the vineyards on Innocents' Day,
when they switch the vines and sing:
Bear, bear fruit, pretty vine, else will
I cut off thy head This eXhOrtatiOn
is said to be very effective. To spill
wine on ones self is great luck, and
luck often enjoyed along the rocky
coast. To meet a viper in the house
is also good luck; while the birth
of black lambs or the entering of a
house left foot first, on the other
hand, are sad misfortunes.
