ALLIED MENU" BRINGS
TRADE TO CASEY'S CAFE
Bright Idea Has Scored a Hit
in Commercial and Castro
nomic Sense

Original ideas in these days Of intensi-
fled commercial advertising may be rare
but jerome Casey. Of 1912 Ridge avenue,
has put one across" with such facility
that professional advertising agents OF
this city are mentally kicking themselves
for having been "scooped" by an un-
known.
jerome Casey runs n miniature chop
house at the Ridge avenue address. For
the last year he has deftly and silently
passed quick lunches across the counter
to patrons intensely interested in the war.
There are Italians, Germans. Austrians,
Russians, Irshmen, Englshmen and even
Americans among those who COngregate
at the restaurant. and alas, there has
been some diversity of opinion as to the
outcome OF the war among them. Casey
listened attentively to the conversation,
making few comments, but thinking, al
ways thinking. Finally the grand idea
came! The next day a brand new line
up was to be seen on the menu board out
side the chophouse. Big letters at the
top of the slab proclaimed
ALLIED MENU.
Hungarian Goulash. German Pot Roast.
Spanish Mackere Scotch Pheasant, Bel
gian Hare, Italian Spaghetti, Russian
Bear Steak, Turkey Sandwich, Norwe-
gian Herring. Swedish Smelts, Swiss
Cheese Sandwich, English Fruit Tart,
French Eclairs Grecian Green Fig Pud-
ding. Arabian Coffee, Chinese Tea.
The advertisement attracted universal
attention and the chop house at once
achieved n popularity to be envied by
many of its more pretentious competi-
tors All nationalities passing the board
caught sight of some dish that appealed
to their national pride. Jerome Casey
and his cuisine did the rest.
When questioned today the proprietor
of the restaurant explained that, al
though the advertisement had proved to
be huge success, it was too good an
Idea for the small shop.
Next year" he added, ~ am going to
have a hig oyster and chop house I am
n machinist by trade, but there wasn't
much money I'm II, so / went to the sa-
loon business, and finally gave that up
for the chop house trade and, telieve me.
IL has possibilities. OF cours 2, this place
isn't much, but | have other ways of
making money, and this does help to fill
in and give me something to think
about"
Mr.. Casey also explained that his fam
iy is descended from the old Celtic races
and that the name should be spelled with
Is. In French, he asserts, the proper
pronunciation is Casa" with the accent
on the a, but in English just plain Casey
does very well.

VIRDEN TELLS SEALERS
NOT TO CAST VOTES
Chief Weigher Opposes Support
of Men Whose Qualifications
Are Unknown

John virdin. chief OF tho Bureau o
Weights and Measures. told delegates e
the convention OF the Pennsylvania Asso
citation Of scolers OF Weights and Meas
ures today that It was their duty tc
protect the public and not the merchants
with whom they come IN contact.
"Thc merchants employ men whose bus
mess Il Is 20 protect them, but the public
has no one but you to look out for It's
interests. The merchants do not need
| you the public does "
He said that the managers who ma
| nipulate" most. keep theirjobs the longest
| and get the most money Therefore,
| he said 'let the manager do his own
protecting"
Mr.. Virdln advocated a national law,
making Il compulsory to stamp the
weight OF wrappers on all commodities,
so that purchasers would not be charged
for them when the articles were sold By
weight. He said that he had seen wrap
pers on hams that weighed as much as
a pound ard half. and that the pur-
chaser had paid for this at the same price
as for the meat.
II. H. Rinehart, Of westmJreland, Pa,
said that n dry measure used by some
Rrocers and produce men was fraud,
and that they should sell goods by weight
only. A vote OF thanks was sent TO Gov
ernor Brumbaugh for vetoing bill which
would have interfered with the work o.
the members Of the association.
H. d. Reel. Of Harrisburg, was elected
president OF the association. Mr.. Nirdin
caused a stir IN the meeting by asking
tho Philadelphia delegation, 43 in num-
bcr. not to vote, because they were not
acquainted with the qualifications OF
either Mr. Reel or his opponent, w. l., |
Jansen, OF Scranton He said that 1t !
was unfair that they, by their superior |
numbers should be permitted to swing |
the election. Only two of the local dele
gates voted.
BENJAMIN Sharp chief clerk in the Phil !
adelphia Bureau of Weights and Meas
ures. was elected secretary of the asso-
citation. other officers elected were

Problems Before Congress

Not in q decade has an American congress
assembled to wrestle with such nationally vital
problems as confront the members Of the nation
al legislative body at the present session. Grave
international problems, threatened revenue
crisis, and national politics, all combine to make
the first session of the Sixty-fourth congress a
momentous one.
international difficulties and policies, Ameri-
can neutrality in the world-war must be definite
ly solved; depleted treasury must be filled with
revenue; a national defense program must be
enacted; agitation for an embargo on expectation
of munitions to the allies must be dealt with ;
insidious attacks on American neutrality from
within the nation demand legislative control;
and withal both Republicans and Democrats will
shape the policies and men that are to decide the
political struggle for control of the federal gov
eminent in the 1916 election. . $.
The most pretentious administration legisla-
tive program Of many years will be presented to
this session of congress. The preparedness plan
of President Wilson will precipitate one of the
hottest fights Of the session. Politics will enter
into the final decision. The president will not be
supported by united party, for some of the lead
ers Of Democracy have announced their opposi-
ton to a greater army and navy. 1t seems GER
tain now that after the measure has run the
gauntlet of committee action and amendment it
will pass only if Republican representatives vote
for the measure. Against the measure are such
men as William Jennings Bryan who has made
a national propaganda against it's enactment
Representative Claude Kitchin, the Democratic
house leader, has announced that he will oppose
the scheme. Should the measure pass the house,

EARLY CITY
HISTORY
Contributions on the pioneer
days Of Richmond win ap-
pear in this column daily.

HoGsi
Early settlers depended on the sale
Of hogs for much Of their income. Vast
droves were driven through Richmond
to Cincinnati. The Brookville Ameri.
can in it's issue of Nov. 20, 1884. says:
For the last three weeks our eyes
have been greeted with scarce any
thing except vast droyes of the swim
ish multitude. Within that time, from
our own idea Of things, and from the
calculations of others, there must have
passed through this place, upwards OF
thirty thousand hogs; all vending
their way to Cincinnati, the greatest
hog market, we would venture to say,
In the known world. All these hogs
are from a small section of the State.
We are told by the oldest settlers that
there never before were as many hogs
driven through this place In one year
as have been in the last three weeks.
Some days 1t seemed as II the vast
arena of natures storehouse was filled
with hogs.

It Is expected to go through the senate without
much opposition
In the face Of the presidential appeal for .
larger army and navy with q c0nseQuent expendi.
.ture Of millions of dollars is constantly growing
deficit in the national treasury. The war tax
bill enacted by the last congress expires at the
end Of this year. It must be re-enacted and pro-
visions must be inserted to produce greater in
flux Of revenue.
numerous proposals are under consideration. The
income tax may be extended to cover incomes OF
81 900 or $1,000 year. The tax on great incomes
may be increased, A tax may be proposed on in
comes growing out of sales Of war munitions to
Europe. Freight receipts, gasoline, requests and
beer viii all be considered as to their revenue pro-
ducing possibilities. The Republicans will seek
to force general tariff revision. Somewhere,
somehow, the administration must secure addi-
tional revenue amounting to between 5000 0O0, 900
and $25O,O0O,000. .
Another struggle in both house and senate is
scheduled on the administration ship-purchase
bill, already revised and prepared for early intro
duction. The measure would appropriate
$50, 900, 900 to put the government into the for
eign shipping business along lines similar to
those proposed in the measure which was talked
to death in the last congress. In this congress
the measure will meet stern opposition in the
House, and it's passage through that body is ex-
tremely doubtful. With the exception of Sena-
tors Burton and Root, the men who killed the
measure in the senate last spring will be prined
for its temperance. Knives are out and some
artistic legislative carving is a certainty.
:. The woman suffrage and national prohibition
issues which now appear with embarrassing i'm
portance upon the political horizon are again to
the fore, and both will be agtated in no uncer-
tain manner throughout the session. The seiz-
ures of American ships on the high seas and the
futility of American diplomatic protests against
such seizures may form the basis of a congress
sional agitation that will frame brand new
issue for the coming campaign. --+
Another agitation for embargo on the
portation of arms and ammunition is certain. 1t
will call for delicate handling. There is demand
from the Department of Justice for espionage
and neutrality laws that will meet the cases
which have cropped up all over the country since
the beginning of the European war.
