Germans Lose No Chance
to Pick Up Information

Rotterdam. July 81 correspondence
of the Associated Press) SO that no
useful information may escape atten-
tion, the German government has in
stituted very thorough system of
examination of travellers crossing the
frontier from Holland.
To deal with Americans there is on
the staff Of the commandant of the
station on the border three officers
who speak perfect English and have
a thorough knowledge of the United
States and Canada. One of them halls
from Milwaukee, where he was edu-
Gated in the public schools, another
frcm st. Louis. and the third from
Montreal,
After the traveller has undergone an
examination at the hands of a German
noncom missioned officer whose chief
aim seems to be to find out whether
he can speak or understand German,
for Germans are suspicious of German
speaking foreigners, he is handed over
to the three English-speaking officers,
who entertain him lavishly and pro-
ceed to extract all the information that
they can, especially If he has spent
any time in England. When, as it
often happens, the traveller scents the
object of the inquiry, the trio seek an
other and probably more voluble pas
senger.

Too Much Rain For
Good of State Crops

For the week ending yesterday,
Pennsylvania crop reports were not
encouraging. Excessive rainfall caused
damage in some sections. Corn which
was reported in good shape. was hit
hard by last nights storm The
weather and crop summary for the
week follows:
The rainfall distribution was very
uneven, some sections being too wet
while others are actually needing
moisture. The excessive rainfall was
largely confined to the northern por-
ton of the State, and was more local
in character in the southern counties.
large portion of Lancaster county is
needing rain. The temperature condi-
tions were favorable, there being a
slight excess above the normal.
Oats harvest is we'll advanced in
the southern, but has not vet begun
in the northern counties. The straw
is rank and heavy and in many places
1t was badly lodged by the heavy rains
and high winds. The second crop of
clover is being cut in some sections
and is reported as being better than
the first cutting, but over the State as
whole the second cutting will be
made about the last of August
Corn is doing WELL and first plant
ings are tasseling and silking. Pota-
toes are unusually good in both Weld
and quality, and markets are generally
glutted with an oversupply of garden
truck and early orchard fruits"

The Use Of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very sparingly,
II at all. If you want to keep your hair
looking its best Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkah' This dries the scalp. makes the
hair brittle and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
mcisten the hair with water and rub
1t in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.

Storm, Moving East, Does
Damage in New York City
By Associated Press

New York, Aug 4.-Streets in New
York city and its suburbs were turned
into yellow rivers, surface and ele-
waited traffic was badly crippled, wires
were blown into a tangled network,
trees uprooted and hundreds of cellars
flooded in a torrential downpour that
b1 oIse over the metropolitan section
this forenoon to the accompaniment
of a sixty mile gale.
Nearly three inches of rain fell in
four hours at Sandy Hook, where
sCutheaster lashed the ocean into fury.
Vessels were held up at the harbor en-
trance and during the height of the
gale a small schooner. the M. V. D.
Chase, from Cheverie, n. S., to Nor
Her captain and sailor were drowned
in a small boat Coast guards rescued
the other four members of the crew.
Along the northern coast of New
Jersey the gale wreaked damage diff
cult to estimate. Sea Bright. swept by
the ocean three times within eighteen
months, was battered again.
In dozen parts of New York city
and Brooklyn the streets lay under
water from two to three feet deep.
From Coney Island and Sea Gate came
reports of a general tie-up in transit
facilities. No fatalities were reported
from any section of the metropolitan
district with the exception of the sink
ing of the NJ. V, D. Chase. For more
than thirty hours New York had been
water soaked when the heavy rain
began about . a. m. to-day. Within
four hours thereafter the rainfall to-
tailed Y inches in the city. At Sandy

Plan Baldwin Pier
AT Eddystone Plant

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 4.-Applica-
tion was yesterday made to the Com
missioners of Navigation by the Bald
win Locomotive Works for permission
to build a bulkhead and large pier
on the Delaware River at the foot of
the companys property at Eddystone.
This pier is to be the first of a series
of four which will be built as business
demands their construction.
This step is regarded in shipping
circles as one of the most important
made in the development of the water
front along the river south of Phila-
delphia. The new pier which is to
be 500 feet long and 125 feet wide.
will be modern reinforced concrete
structure. 1t will be the largest pier
either in Chester or Wilmington.
According to Alba B. Johnson.
president of the Baldwin Company.
the pier is to be constructed so that
the company may use the Delaware
River more extensively for transporta-
ton purposes, to bring material to its
plant and for shipping material. 1t
will also be used for passenger pur-
poses, so that the workmen employed
at the plant who live in Philadelphia.
Wilmington or Chester may be landed
near to their place of employment.

DEFENSE AND DEFICIT

The Administration announces that
it intends to lay before Congress an
adequate program of national de-
fense. This will cost money. The
treasury deficit at the end of the fiscal
year, July so. was around 10000, 900.
The deficit for the single month of
July in the current fiscal year is close
to half that sum.
On the first of May, 1916, sugar
goes upon the free list-which will en-
tail a loss of revenue amounting to
first of December, 1915, the so-called
war taxes" will expire by Limitation,
entailing a decrease of many more
millions in revenue.
Therefore 1t is plainly to be seen
that, whether we provide for national
defense or not, increased revenue must
be had. The Democratic leaders are
considering this question. They plan
to put a tax on tea, on corIee, on
bananas, and on several otner articles
of common consumption. In other
words they intend to tax every mans
table.
When the Democrats took over the
Government they found a full treasury
and ample revenues. They found, too,
a steady program of naval construc-
ton and other items of national de-
fense. In two short years they have
emptied the treasury, have diminished
the revenues, have crippled the navy
and the army; until now, when the
question of defense looms up they can
deal with it only after they have dealt
with a deficit.
The real way to handle both ques-
tions, defense and the deficit, is to
restore the Republican party to power

TRAFFIC LAWS MUST
NOT Be IGNORED
Special Officers Again Authorized
by Motor Club to Arrest Viola
tors Without Further Warning

Watch Yonr Step" may be good
advice for pedestrians, but "Watch
the Traffic Cop" is the saress counsel
for all who drive horses or motor We
hicles.
The Board of Governors of the
Motor Club at their meeting last eve
ming determined to continue the
crusade against those who ignore the
traffic rules and two special officers
will be employed on intermittent days
to arrest all Violators without any ex-
ception as to who the law may hit.
They say: Read the road rules, be
cause ignorance is no excuse before
the law" Safety first is the slogan
that the motor club wishes to impress
on all drivers, even though SOME who
thoughtlessly transgress must suffer
with those who are habitually incon-
siderate of other peoples rights and
welfare. The success of the recent
enforcement of traffic laws by the club
Is manifest in the number of new ap-
plications received. With the twelve
voted on let evening makes total
OF fifty within three months while the
traffic agitation and arrests were being
made.
Many of the leading businessme en-
are reported as having said that they
admired the spirit of the club in en-
forcing traffic rules which regular
fear of possible influence that would
jeopardize their positions. Members
of the board were emphatic in their
demands for another campaign OF
traffic law enforcement and by practi-
cally unanimous vote instructed the
officers of the motor club to hire two
men who are to bring information that
will lead to arrests of violators.
A delegation from the Millersbure
motor club was present to cooperate
in the efforts to convert the old canal
bed into a road, If the plan is found
practicable.

NATIONAL BALANCES

The National treasury continues to
run behind about three quarters of a
million dollars per day. By inducing
early payments of income taxes and
by urging prompt remittances by COL
lectors, the Treasury Department
made a book showing of balance OF
about $50, on July l..
That this was a fictitious showing
is now proven by the fact that from
the first day o fthe new fiscal year, the
expenditures exceeded the receipts and
the balance dropped to about S67, ,00O,-
600 at the close of business Saturday,
July "a. On the corresponding date
two Years ago. with Republican
revenue and appropriation laws in ef-
feet, the balance was 1929, 900.

Cops Who Don't Report
Will Be Disciplined

Failure of patrolman to report a
collision between a jitney buss and a
beer truck at Seventeenth and North
streets yesterday will bring sharp in
structions from Colonel Joseph B.
Hutchison at roll call this evening.
I'VE cannot determine who is re-
sponsible for reckless driving IL we do
not hear about accidents, said Colonel
Hutchison this morning when no per-
son is hurt, patrolmen get an idea that
an accident need not be reported.
What he is expected to do is to secure
names and the numbers of the vehicles
and other information necessary"
Colonel Hutchison had in his mind
when referring to neglect of duty the
accident at Seventeenth and North
streets yesterday afternoon. A jitney
carrying State license No. 143S17 with
two passengers, one a woman, collided
with a beer truck belonging to Samuel
Kaufman, 1924 Wyeth street, driven
by Morris Stein. No one was injured.

FOR SUMMER CATARRH
AND HAY FEVER

AS there seems to be a regular
epidemic. of Catarrh and hay fe-
yer at the present time the fol-
lowing prescription will un-
doubtedly be welcomed by many.
Go to any good Druggist and get
ounce of Parmint double
strength), take this home and
add to it u pint of hot water and
ounces of granulated sugar. stir
until dissolved. take one table
spoonful times a day. This will
often bring instant relief from
such distressing symptoms as
clogged nostrils, catarrhal dis
charges, head noises, dullness,
watering OF the eyes, sneezing,
sort throat, etc. 1t is easy to
prepare. costs little and seems to
bring relief even to chronic suf-
ferers. Every person who suffers
from catarrh or hay fever should
give 1t a trial.
