Friends of William WEIGH at the Outlet,
who entered his colt Storm King in the
races held at Maranacook last Saturday
under the direction of the Winthrop Driv-
ing Club, will be glad to know that his
colt easily won three straight heats in
the green" class of speed horses. Mr..
WEIGH has a colt that gives promise of
developing into fast trotting horse. and
1t is probable that he will be entered in
a faster class at the next race.

TWO POSTOFFICES NEAR
THIS CITY ROBBED
Safes Blown at Red Hill and
Woodbourne and Stamps
and Money Taken

Two postoffice safe robberies within the
last 36 hours in the vicinity of this city
have aroused the police of southeastern
Pennsylvania to a strict search for the
perpetrators.
The safes opened were both on line of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway.
one at Red Hill. Montgomery County,
the other at Woodbourne, near Lang
horne, Bucks County.
Nitroglycerin was used in each case
Nearly $500 in booty was obtained by the
robbers, who forced their way into the
postoffices by breaking open the front
door. From the Red Hill postofice
stamps worth $500 and $3.50 in cash was
taken. At Woodbourne the robbers got
S23S worth of stamps and $50 in cash.
The police and Government officials,
who are also investigating, are convinced
that the same men were responsible for
both jobs. Stolen tools were used in each
case to break into the pOstOffices.
The robbers spent the night in the Maple
Point Public School. where they forced
an entrance after completing the Wood
bourne job. A pile OF cigarette stumps
pointed to their presence there, but they
stole nothing.
Examination of the safes after the rob-
berries convinces the police that the rob-
berries were the work of expert safe
crackers.

JUDGE NEIL TO URGE
PENNA. COUNTIES HELP
FOR MOTHERS PENSIONS
Forty-seven Are Still Behind in
Appropriation for Compen-
sation Act Passed by Leg
islature Year Ago
ONLY 20 HAVE ACTED

only 20 of the 81 Pennsylvania counties
| have raised money to secure the $500 600
appropriated by the 1915 Legislature to
pay mothers pensions, according to
Judge Henry Neil, of Chicago. former
Philadelphian, who is here today to push
the A backward counties" Judge Neil,
who serves without one cent of pay, Is the
father of the first mothers compensation
act and has been instrumental in having
similar laws passed in 26 States in the
past five years. The first bill was passed
in Illinois In 1911 Already $4,000 600 has
been appropriated for such pensions
during 1916
"In order to get the money appropriated
for the various counties each county must
raise similar amount said the Judge
today while at the Bellevue-Stratford
only 20 counties have done this. We do
not want Pennsylvania to fall behind, so
am going to Harrisburg at once to see
what can be done. If all the counties
raise their allotted amounts II means that
Sl,6OOOO Will be used in helping mothers
take care of their children for two years"
Mr.. Neil is a firm believer in "Preparcd-
ness" of the type which cares for the
children, so that men and women might
be strong and healthy. He believes that
child poverty makes adult inefliciency
Hence he, the father OF the mothers COM
pensation act, and Representative Ed
ward Keating of Colorado, the father of
the child labor bill. which will prevent
interstate shipment of products of child
labor, have co-operated in framing new
bill This bill was introduced in the
House last Wednesday. and provides for
commission which will study the causes
of child poverty and the effects of that
poverty in regard to adult inefficiency.
The bill points out that more than 30 per
cent, of the men npDlyIng for enlistment
in the army and navy are physically and
mentally deficient, and that there must
be some cause.
Mr.. Neil says SSGO,OOo 900 was spent in
the United States last year for detectives
and people who are inefficient, and he
feels sure that child poverty is a prime
cause of this inefiicency.

6TT is with great reluc-
AA tance that we are
@g@ taking these meas
ures to discontinue our
Philadelphia store, which
for years has been the home
of the great Georges bust
ness.
But conditions compel
this drastic action. In spite
of a splendid gross increase
in sales during 1915, the
Philadelphia store failed to
show any profit whatso-
ever. This was due to the
constantly rising cost of
doing business, such as cor
ner rental, taxes, high sal
aries, expensive displays,
overhead, etc. So, rather
than lower the Georges
standard of value-or ad-
vance prices-we are dis
continuing this store and
closing out the entire stock
at an enormous sacrifice.
