Cause of Price Cutting.

The manufacturer using an old type Of
machine. being unable to sell in normal
competition with the product of improved
machines, has to cut his pride, and this
forces competition of the cut throat
kind
The competition in the industry is
severe; much so that a manufacturer
who was interviewed stated that it was
not so much foreign competition that was
hurting the hosiery business fierce
domestic competition" says the Secretary.
But small capital is required to start
making seamless hosiery. and for this
reason hundreds of such plants have
sprung up all over the country In recent
years. During the year 1914 ninety two
new hosiery mills went into operation"

reasons assigned for this satisfactory
state of affairs is the excellence of
American seamless hosiery. This style of
footwear is distinctly American. The
knitting machines used in it's manufacture
have been brought to their present state
of efficiency by American inventors, and
their use is confined largely to this coun-
try. No less than 90 per cent of the
hosiery manufactured here is seamless
Low cost of manufacture is the main rea-
son for its position in the market
Commenting on the report in his letter

that the use of antiquated machinery and
the failure to keep machinery in proper

All the Norfolk ideas are fashionable.
Here is an entirely new blouse that is
made with box plaits in Norfolk style
and belted. 1t is most satisfactory
model for sports, for morning walks and for
general wear. As it is shown on the
figure, it seems to include all the sporting
features of the season, and by omitting
the pockets, buttoning the collar up high
and adjusting the skirt over the lower
portion of the blouse, quite a different
garment will result but one equally good
for other purposes. Treated in that way,
it becomes simple blouse on the order
of the shirtwaist and is adapted to ali
seasonable materials. The back is plain
and without fullness and the fronts are
just full enough to produce pretty rip
pie. On the figure, the blouse is made of
cotton crepe of rather heavy weight and is
trimmed with linen. The combination of
materials as we'll as the design is in the
height of style.

BRIDGES REMAIN
IN COUNTY CARE
Deputy Attorney General Gives an
Opinion on What the State Is
Required to Do

In an opinion given to the State
Highway Commissioner, w. H. Keller.
nrst deputy attorney general, holds
that 1t Is not the duty of the State to
pulId' repair or maintain any bridge
on one or the main highway routes
Whlch counties were required to build
or take care of at the time of the en-
actment of the Sproul act in 1911.
Where 1t was the duty of supervisors
TO maintain bridges the State has as
sumed responsibility, but not over
those which the counties were oblig-
ed TO construct or maintain.
In dealing with this question, Mr..
heller says; The fact that this con-
struction may lead to a division of the
care and responsibility for the main
tenance and Improvement of the roads
ana certain bridges, respectively, along
State highways, as pointed out by
Judge Orvis, in the case of Common
wealth eX. rel. Fortney VS.. Center
County Commissioners, "a District Re-
ports. 266, cannot be permitted to
nulllfy or set aside the plain Language
of the Act of Assembly"
Mr.. Keller then says that the re-
sponslbility is no more divided than il
was IN the case when a bridge along a
township road was constructed and
entered as county bridge He as
serts that since the passage of the
opl Jul dNts lHe state highway De-
partment is responsible for the care.
improvement and maintenance of the
highway routes designated in the act
and its amendments, including ali
bridges which, at the time that the
law was enacted, were strictly town
ship bridges. This, says the deputy
attorney general, is where the respon-
sibility of the State Highway Depart
ment ends.
In his opinion, which is a lengthy
one, Mr.. Keller reviews the laws bear
ing on public roads and bridges. He
says that there are at present four
classes of public roads. exclusive OF
turnpikes; township roads, county
roads, State-aid highways and State
highways. He then defines these vari-
Gus classes, bringing out the fact that
all county roads are under the direct
control and supervision of the county
commissioners, the township authori-
ties being relieved from all duty and
responsibility in connection with their
care, maintenance and repair. Mr.
Keller then cites the various laws to
establish the fact that the term high
way as used in them is to be con-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-06-04

strued as meaning all causeways,
drains and bridges. These laws spe-
cifically State that where the county
has built the bridge, even If on town
sip road, the care of 1t remains with
the county commissioners. In this
connection Mr.. Keller says:
"A bridge in the line of road or
highway is ordinarily to be consider
ed as a part of such road or high
way, but by reason of the expense or
the erection and maintenance of GER
tain bridges being greater than town
ship or adjoining townships could rea-
sonably bear, it has been the policy
of the Commonwealth under certain
circumstances to impose the build
ing and maintenance of such bridges
upon the county to the relief of the
townships. Thereafter, although all
the rest of the road or highway is a
township road under the care and
supervision of the township authori-
ties, the bridge is a county bridge
under the care and supervision of. the
county commissioners"

Helen looked at him for a moment
and then the tears OF anger began to
gather. She fought them back furi-
ously, because she knew how Warren
hated tears, but the evening had been
a regular nightmare for her. Warren
had persisted in acting almost inso-
lently to Lieutenant Roberts and had
treated her with scant consideration.
She had been powerless to act in her
accustomed way, and when the man
finally left she had drawn a sigh of
relief. Helen tried her hardest to be
fair and to talk out the matter with
out heroics on her part.
