RAINS CAUSE LOSS
OF $4,000 ON ROADS

Rains this summer have damaged
the roads in the county to the extent
Of at least $1,000. said County Road
Supervisor Jones today.
He estimates that the county roads
alone have suffered from $4,000 to
$4,000 of damage and the township
roads lave been affected even great
err. On some roads of the county,
gravel has been placed three different
times this summer and each time it
has been washed out by the storms.
The township roads, which are not
kept in as good a condition as the
county roads, have suffered because
of lack OF attention. Most of the dam
age to roads has been done in Abing-
ton and Boston townships, although
none of the townships have escaped.
II have almost decided to quit haul
ing gravel on the roads until the
weather Settles" said Mr.. Jones. 1T
seems that no sooner do we have a
road graveled when 1t rains and
washes It all off. 1t has to be done
all over again. This has occurred
three times this summer"

V aluable Horse
Leaps from Car
Moving Rapidly

Pennsylvania freight brakemen who
do not care to have their names men,
toned for various reasons. had a
funny experience the other day when
they had to stop their train and go
back over the track in search of a
horse that had jumped from a car
while the train was going about TWEEN
ty miles hour.
The horse was valued at $4,000, and
was cared for by an attendant. The
attendant went to sleep. When the
train was two miles out of Elwood he
woke up and found the animal miss
ing. He rubbed his eyes for a minute,
thinking that he must be dreaming as
his gaze wandered around the empty
car. Finally deciding it was no dream
to have a $4,000 horse disappear from
a moving train, he ran over the cars
and told the conductor of his mishap.
Now this conductor was a kindly
disposed man, and stopped the train,
called the crew together and a search
was made, but no horse was found
after an hours work and the crew
gave up in disgust, leaving the mys-
titled attendant to wander through
the country
Yesterday the horse was found I'M

Suffrage Notes
In This Column Will Appear Equal Suffrage

They are willing to wait till the war
is over, but they have not abandoned
their convictions, and they are ready
to resume the struggle in more au-
spicious times.
LET us tell them frankly that they
will not need to resume their strug-
gle. They have proved their case up
to the hilt by deeds rather than words.
1--WE do not say that votes should
be given to women as q reward for
their work. Their work can not be
rewarded in any such fashion But we
do say that 1t is time to own the rev.
elation of women's nature and quail
ity which this war has already made
to all but the blind.
Nor is this our only JASON There
lies ahead of us problems perhaps even
more difficult and intricate than those
We are now passing. We can not re-
alize all that is involved in the social
reconstruction, which must follow this
war.
"The problems that will emerge are
of kind largely Independent of pres
ent political parties. They will mean
the shaking of the whole land. We
shall want all the wisdom and all the
deep hearts of women if we are to
come out of the seething turmoil a
united and a happy people, beginning
the world again"

FORBIDDEN KISS
BRINGS TROUBLE
TO, SCHUERMAN

Karl Schuerman 1922 South Seventh
street, after the experience he had
last night will probably never again
attempt to kiss a girl against her will.
His gallantry got him into city Jail
at an early hour this morning, after
a policeman had reused him from his
slumbers at his home After remain
ing in Jail for about five hours, he was
released on his promise of future good
behavior
Young Schuerman met pretty Hazel
Embry last evening and escorted her
to the home of her stepfather, Am
brose Johnson, South Eleventh street.
After they had talked for time on
the walk in front Of her home, he
requested a goodnight kiss" She
refused and Schuerman insisted, but
she remained obdurate to all his pleas.
Then Schuerman rashly attempted to
steal the coveted kiss and In the
scuffle Miss Embry tripped and fell
upon the lawn. Schuerman made a
hasty departure, it is said. Johnson
reported the affair to the police. To
day Miss Embry refused to prosecute
Schuerman, so the case against him
was dismissed.
Miss Embry declared that Schuer-
man did not get the kiss and Schuer-
man does not deny her assertion.

fact, has rather taken the wind out of
the sails of two dailies, which had hop

that it is time to recognize that wom-

that they should have votes. 1t may
seem as If the discussion on female
suffrage was certainly out of place at
present, and certainly many of the
old arguments on both sides are not
outworn and lifeless.
But it is time for men graciously.

CONSIDERS BUYING
SITE AT GARFIELD

It is rumored that the school board
at it's next meeting will consider the
purchase of lots north of Garfield
school for erecting an addition to the
present building in order to relieve the
congestion.
Superintendent Giles when question
ed, said that while it had been dis
cussed by the board, nothing definite
had been decided.
Both the high school and the Gar
field school will be unable comforta bly,
to accommodate the large number of
students after this year, and the cree
ton of an addition to the Garfield
school would relieve the situation con-
siderably.

to scream. Mrs. Krickmore was not

The first tenant to respond to the
girls screams was Charles White.
Krickmore attacked him with a chair
Then Mrs. Belle Shepard stuck her
head out of her door, but retreated
before a bombardment of profanity.
About this time another boarder
named Simcoke arrived on the scene
and Krickmore went after him, J. H.
Billheimer coming to his rescue. Bill
heimer struck Krickmore once, and,
he informed the court, it was the first
time in his life he had ever hit another
man, although he is sixty-two years
old. Peace was finally restored with
the arrival of the police.
Mrs Krickmore said her husband

insists that it must have an increase
of $4,000 in its revenues if the pres
ent rates are to be maintained, $4,000
of this to be contributed by the city
and $4,000 from other sources, the
municipal budget makers ignored this
demand last night. 1t was practically
decided to decrease the appropriation
for metered water from $4,000 to
$4,000 and to make the same appro-
priation for hydrant rental next year
as provided this year. $1,000.
Keep Playground Levy.
1t is said that Controller McMahan
tried 20 sidetrack the plan to continue
the one cent levy for playground
purposes. but the other budget makers
decided to maintain this levy at the
meeting last night 1t was also de.
cided to provide an appropriation of
100000 for the city's share of public
improvements. an increase of $4,000
over this year.
An appropriation of $4,000 for

cadamizing Of streets, was also agreed
upon. Inc same amount was apprO-
priated for this year.

the desired property. Such an appro-

the 1916 budget.
No action was taken on the question
of whether the city should take out a
policy with some liability company to
protect itself under the provisions of
the workmen's compensation act or
assume its own liability. 1t is general
ly understood. however. that all the
councilmen. with one exception. are
opposed to the city carrying liability
policy. This one councilman insists
that unless this is done the city
is exposing itself to too great a risk.

REQUEST INSURANCE
RATE REDUCTION

The insurance committee of the
Commercial club is considering the
advisability of making application to
the rating bureau for q reduction in
insurance rates. because of the in
creased fire protection afforded by the
new aerial truck.
The city officials have refused to
employ additional firemen to man the
truck, and the rating bureau gave the
committee an understanding before the
truck was bought that it would be
necessary to have an addition of three
men on the fire fighting force before
reduction can be made.
George Eggemeyer, chairman of the
committee, was in conference with
Secretary Haas today on the matter.
and meeting of the committee will
be. called soon to consider making an
application for the reduction.
