ROAD MONEY FOR
SEVERAL COUNTIES

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 1S.-The
Tennessee department OF highways
has fund of $112,0S6.43 ready to be
expended. on the designated state
highways in the various counties in
the state and already contracts have
been made with officials Of q number
of counties for the expenditure of the
funds for those counties. APPROX
mately $4,000 will be added to this
fund by June l, which is the end of
the fiscal year for the department.
This fund is derived from the automo-
bile tax and is to be spent in main
tenance of designated state highways.
This fund is not turned over to the
counties in bulk but is spent by the
county road officials under the diree-
ton of the state department and can
not be spent and is not available I'M
til contract has been entered be-
tween the county and the state Off
cials. Application for use of the
fund must be made by the county
judge of the county to the state de-
partment of highways. In the appor-
tionment is shS?xo shrdlu
tionment it is shown that the thirty
two East Tennessee counties in which
the tax was paid lead with $415O0.
Middle Tennessee with 80 counties
paying the tax came second with $751;
$50, and West Tennessee with 20
counties third with $39,250. East
Tennessee has spent much larger
sums for road work than either of
the other grand divisions of the
state.
The figures below show the net
amounts placed to the credit~>.of
Washington and adjoining counties

The counties of Unicoi, Hardeman
and Pickett do not share in this APP
portionment because no automobile
taxes were collected by them. The
law provides that the funds be re-
turned to the counties collecting
them.

are almost unknown here.
This is because Harrisburg employers
and employees very well understand
that there are two sides to every ques-
tion-that labor is worthy of its hire,
and that arbitration is better than de-
structive idleness. any day. Yesterday
the two trolley companies operating in
the city and voluntarily granted
their employees raise in wages. They
might have waited until the men
asked for more money, and then
pleaded poverty due to jitney competi-
ton, as has been done in other cities.
But they did not. They recognized
that the men ought to share in in
creased business, and the wage ad-
vance was ordered. 1t is thus that
Harrisburg avoids costly and unpro-
ftable labor disputes. and a very satis-
factory way for all concerned it is,
when one compares the peace we en-
joy here with the conflicts raging else
where between capital and labor.

Frying Pans, Garbage Cans

hdllSdS CltN llnleS.
Senator Reed Smoot told the United
States Senate last week that the Amer
lean garbage can was the fattest in all
the world. He was urging the passage
of bill to appropriate money to teach
American girls to cook and to save in
the kitchen. American women are
wasteful and eXtravagant he said.
Tens of thousands of homes are
ruined by ignorant housekeepers," he
exclaimed. NO women on the face of
the earth are so wasteful as American
women, and the average American
housewife throws enough food into the
garbage can to keep an average work
ingman's family in France or Ger
many where the most rigid economy
is observed.
1t is not only in the garbage can that
food bought with money earned by the
husbands toll is wasted. A German
who came TO America to observe
things here wrote in condemnation of
the frying pan found in every Ameri-
can kitchen. lie said that a large part
of the average workman's money
sticks -te-the- -bettenl-ef- the -pan-iff
which the nightly chops and steaks
are fried. He contrasted this wasteful
way of frying meats into indigestible
masses of food, with the covered pot
that SINNERS on the slow fire hour
after hour and has preserved the
health and filled the savings banks of
Germany and France.
Away with the frying pan, and be
watchful of what goes into the garbage
cans is the advice of leading home
economists.

FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY

TIP to January l this year it has
| been estimated that about S40,-
O00,O00,0O0 had been spent by
the various nations engaged in the
European war, says writer in
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger
in response to the inquiry OF
a correspondent. Estimates of the
casualties vary greatly, but it is gem
orally believed that between 5000, 900
and 100000 men have been disabled.
This would put the cost of disabling
one man at about $4,000.
Even German thoroughness and
efficiency might show some improve
ment here, one might judge. In the
days when Buffalo Bill rodesthe Pony
Express, the cowboy or scout who
couldn't wing a man at every pop of
the pistol didn't deserve the name,
and cartridges cost about two cents
each. Twelve thousand dollars would
have filled whole graveyard in those
days, with money on the side for
brass band funerals and marble head
stones for the victims. The gentle
art of murder has gone up in price,
like other luXuries.

fioations and afterward on the ability
of bidders to make good their pro-
possls. The city rushed into an ILL
advised contract and the people are
now paying dearly for that piece of
folly.
But all blame must not be laid
either to Council or the contractor.
The people are themselves largely to
blame. Very few in all the city have
co-operated with the collector. The
rules provide that no garbage, paper
or other waste be mixed with ashes,
and that ashes be kept in cans of not
less than one nor more than two BUSH
els capacity. How many have lived
up to that regulation? Yet this alone
and it is not by any means the only
rule that has been broken-has cost the
garbage collector hundreds upon hun
dreds of dollars and days of lost time.
"Cussing" the ashman is quite pop
ular form of indoor sport hereabouts
these days, but the contractor is sinned
against as we'll as SHINING. 1t be
hooves those who have not been living
up to their contract to sing low IL the
contractor does not live up to his.

Humane SUNDAY

The American Anti -Vivisection So
ctety. with headquarters in Philadel-
phia, is urging a general observance
throughout Pennsylvania of Humane
Sunday and BE Kind to Animals
Week" May 5 TO 81, inclusive.
Mrs. Mary +. Lowell, of Jenkintown,
prominent in antivivisection work and
associate editor of the journal of
Zoophily, has been selected national
chairman. and this is being consid-
cred in the light of a compliment to
this State and recognition of the rapid
progress being made in humane work
in Pennsylvania.
Pastors of churches are being urged
to preach special sermons on Humane
Sunday (May 2D and to call attention
to the cruelty practiced on animals
through vivisection. The question of
vivisection is unknown in the average
home, and 1t is believed that pulpit
talks will appeal TO almost everyone
because of that fact.
The thought that "Antivivisection
VS.. Nivisection" would be an ideal
pulpit topic is brought out in a re-
cent article by Mrs. Lowell, who de-
clares that vivisection should be abol-
iSbed- because it is evil

Dollar EVANGELISM

From Philadelphia Public LEDGER
Dollar evangelism seems to have
taken the place of dollar diplomacy,
or at any rate to be running it a close
race. Bishop Berry, of the Methodist
Church, is the latest redoubtable an
tagonist of the "free-will- offering"
idea, which as an audacious abuse of
the contributors benevolence is reach
ing the proportions of the voluntary
political subscriptions which are the
premiums upon the offceholders po-
litical life insurance. 1t is touching
TO see how spontaneous these free
will offerings on the last day" have
become through systematized pan
handling for weeks beforehand. But
the most regrettable feature of what
Bishop Berry calls professional, COM
merciaI' evangelism is its consistent
and persistent sneer at the clergy. An
lunerant preacher can always get a
rise out of the crowd" by denouncing
the regular army of the Lord. 1t seems
to be particular satisfaction to one
who does not have TO remain on the
field of his temporary occupancy to
assemble as many ministers on the
platform as he can and then make fun
of them, or even eXcoriate them with
blistering epithets. 1t is the custom
also. for the sake of n cheap and easy
laugh, to make mock of a church
member, a singular inducement to the
unconverted to become one. The
clergymen certainly have to work
hard enough at their low wages to be
spared the defamation of highly paid
specialists who profess to be their
helpers.

WATCH YOUR CHECKS
By Frederic ]. Haskin

ish and make a large annual dent in
banking profits. Americans, as n rule,
are slow to suspect people. We do
not bite coins to see If they are spur
ious; we do not weigh the lamb chops,
and some of us do not always count
our change. But with large army of
crooks constantly perpetrating bank
frauds of one kind or another, cer-
tain amount of healthy suspicion
seems permissible. even advisable.
The bankers are doing their best to
warn their own employees, but every
once in a while some cashier or pay
ing teller finds he was mistaken.
Not long ago, a stranger entered a
bank in a new lumber town after
banking hours on Saturday afternoon.
He asked to see the cashier, to whom
he presented a letter stating that he
had thirty-four hundred dollars on
deposit in a certain city bank about
hundred miles from there. The let
ter more the letterhead of the bank
and was signed by it's cashier. The
man explained that he needed fifteen
hundred dollars Immediately to place
as an option on a grocery store in the
new town and requested a draft for
that amount on the strength of the
letter.
The cashier looked up the cashier
of the city bank in the register and
found the signature to be correct, so,
after some hesitation, he gave the
man draft for fifteen hundred dol
lars But later in the afternoon, in
the seclusion of his town home, the
cashier began to feel a trifle nervous.
Why had he felt any hesitation at all
in paying the draft? Surely, the mans
manner had been peculiar. All the
next day, which was Sunday, the cash
ter worried about it, and by Monday
morning he was In a cold perspiration.
He could hardly wait to get to the
bank to send a wire to that city cash
ier. An hour later his worst fears
were confirmed. The bank replied
that they had never heard of such an
individual and that their cashier
knew nothing OF the letter. 1t was a
plain case of forgery.
In this instance, however, it was not
too late TO act. The cashier imme-
diately wired every clearing house in
the district to stop payment on the
draft and to apprehend the drawer.
The same afternoon the man was
caught.
While the law holds bank respon-
sible for accepting a forged signature,
on the grounds that it is it's business
to know the signatures of it's deposi-
tors, it is not held liable for a raised
check which it pays by mistake of
fact and in good faith.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-25

TINE country seems to be afflicted
just now with a plague of bad
checks. Although somewhat
worse than usual this is nothing new.
In fact. the methods are singularly
old. The wonder is that they still
work.
The President of a bank in a small
Middle Western town recently was in
terrupted in the perusal of his morn
ings mail by the sudden entrance
into his Office of a tall well-dressed
man who slapped him familiarly on
the shoulder and called him, Bill"
Don't you remember me?" he de-
manded. Met you over at Smiths
the other night" The banker could
not remember ever having seen the
man before, but there had been sew
eral people at the Smiths that night
with bank accounts. The man went
on to explain that he was in a hurry
to catch train and it had just occur
red to him to stop in and ask "Bills'
bank to cash a check for him. He
coolly extracted a checkbook from his
vest pocket and wrote out a check for
a hundred and fifty dollars. Although
the mans signature suggested nothing
to the banker, the check was on a
well-known bank, ii all seemed per-
fectly regular, so the banker cashed it.
Now large number OF ChlCago de-
tectives are searching for this same
tall, well-dressed stranger, who has
successfully worked this fmsy story
in nearly every State in the Union, and
so far as records show, has never
been inside police station. The
thing is ridiculously simple. The
man merely trades upon the name of
the bankers most influential acquaint-
ance-Someone whose friend the
banker would not care to offend. The
rest is easy. OF course, he must rely
a great deal on his ability as an actor,
and still more on the characteristic
American carelessness which has no
patience with small suspicious. For
instance, it would have been compare
lively easy for the banker to have call
ed Smith on the telephone and made
few pertinent inquiries concerning
the alleged friend, but he did not do
it. What is more, il what the detec-
tives say is true, forty-eight other
bankers didn't do it either. The
American Bankers Association figures
that this particular swindler averages
about five hundred dollars a month
from this and other ingenious stories.
1t is a curious fact that the old
and more unlikely a story. the more
credence is usually placed in it,
Swindles that were well known when
our grandfathers were boys still flour

DIR. DIXON'S VIEWS

TN the following language DR.. Samuel
G. Dixon, State Commissioner OF
Health, pays his respects to the
man who INDUCES in alcoholic stimu-
lants:
A drunken man is the most dan
serous. demoraliZng factor in civ
ilized life. The wild beast of the
forest is a plaything in comparison.
He sets all laws at naught and be-
comes an instrument of the devil.
Man craZed by any kind of mental
oVereXertion or drunkenness. like
rabid beast, is a menace to every
one with whom he comes in con-
tact.
DIR. Dixon is no rabid reformer. He
is not swayed by sentiment. He is not
a one-idea prohibitionist. He is of a
calm, deliberate turn of mind. He is a
scientist, noted among scientists. He
is careful and conservative. Yet he
does not hesitate to say that drunken
man is the most dangerous, demoraliz-
ing factor in civilized life," which is to
say that alcohol is the most dangerous,
demoralizing factor in civilized life.
And yet there are those who do not
believe that the liquor question should
be made a political issue.

defense, perhaps because congressional
speakers feel that it is only by such
excursions and inclusions that they can
be heard on their several hobbies. On
the whole, Senator Smoot will find
many to agree with him in his state
ment that this country has the "fattest
garbage cans" of any In the world, and
that this waste of material consequent
or poor housekeeping is one of the
principal causes for home mishaps and
disa ppointme While our sons are
preparing to defend our homes let our
girls be taught to be conservative with
our garbage cans; thus the value of
home will be a great incentive to its
protection. Senator Smoot is as logical
as a logarithm.
