asked.

She looked at me a moment and
then said. You will have to get a

my comment as I reached out and

1T was just after I had finished
training that for my first experience
as a really truly nurse had a case
very much like yours, except it was
young man whose leg was splinter
ed and broken on the football field. I
was extremely proud, for the patient
was the son of one of the richest men
in the eastern city where I was grad
Uated.
''Harvey's leg was broken above
the knee, and it was set, reset and
plated just as yours has been, only
that the cast was put on from above
the hip down. Poor chap, he suffer-
ed the agOnies that only such as you
Mrs. WaVerly can know and SYM
pathize with. He was a handsome
youth, and at times through pity l
wanted to stoOp and kiss the forehead
which was dampened with the sweat
of agony.
81 don't know when 1 first grew to
love him, but I remember one night
of waking stark and cold with the
knowledge that had given my heart
to him.
81 succeeded, however, in keeping
it from him until one day boy friend
of his made some sighting remark
about the fun man might have with
pretty nurse.
Tom said Harvey, although I
am in a pretty bad condition to fight,

were: Don't mind that cad, dear

STRIKE NEWS
Nab Strike Breakers
on Charge of Carrying
Concealed Weapons

On Allison Hill district Peter Valen-
tine, alias Elias Lazar, a Rumanian,
and I. Moro, an Italian, were arrested
this morning charged with carrying
concealed deadly weapons These men,
both strike-breakers, were in charge
of a car running between Market
Square and Twenty-third and Derry
streets. Both carried ugly looking
blackjacks.
While enroute to the city the car
ran into a delivery wagon of the
Royal Laundry Company at Thirteenth
and Derry streets. Both Valentine
and Mora got out of the car to fix
the fender which had been broken in
the collision. When Valentine who
was acting as motorman stopped over,
Deputy Sheriff Fred Shickley noticed
the blackjack sticking out of the
motorman's pocket. At the same
time Charles Houser. another deputy,
found a blackjack in the pocket of
Mora, the conductor of the car. The
Harrisburg Railways officials were
notified and the car sent to the barn.
station. They were sent to Jail in
default of $500 bail each, FOR a hear
ing on a charge of carrying concealed
deadly weapons.
The blackjack found on Valentine
was made with a four-inch steel nut
wrapped with elastic tape, and fasten-
ed to trolley car hanging strap. The
weapon carried by Mora was made of
heavy rope and wrapped with elastic.
The Rumanian said he was a chauffeur
and came from New York Mora
claims to be an ironworker and said
his home is in Newark.

CITY OBLIGATION
# BEFORE BOARD
Reading Raises Compensa.
ton Question Which May
Establish a Rule

Maintaining that the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania. upholding the consti-
tutionality of the workmens compen-
sation act, based it's decision on the
fact that no person was deprived of
the right of trial by jury unless he
voluntarily waived the right, the City
Solicitor of Reading yesterday ap-
pealed to the Workmen's Compensa-
tion Board for reversal of the award
of more than $4,000 to Mrs. Ida B.
Smith, of Reading. whose husband, a
policeman, died last February from
injuries received in the course of his
duties.
The city solicitor, Joseph r. Dickin-
son, maintained further that a police
man is really not an employe of a mu-
nicipality, but an officer of the State
because his duty is to preserve the
peace for the State. The municipality
appoints and pays the policeman, he
said, but not to perform routine duties
such as must be performed by other
agents in the management of the mu-
nicipality's affairs. He inferred that
a policeman is more of a luxury than
a necessity. The award was made to
Mrs. Smith last April by Referee Paul
w. Houck. The commission made no
decision.
Another vital decision will be an
nounced shortly, following the hearing
by the board yesterday of the appeal
of Coke Bros. 8 Co.. Inc, of Wilkes
Barre, against whom Referee Houck
awarded damages to the widow of a
mino worker based on the miner
gross wages during the year previous
to his death last January. Roger ].
Deaver, representing the United Mine
Workers of America, presented the
plea and D. w. Kaercher defended
Mrs. Jacob Reitmyer. of Sheppton,
widow of the miner who lost his life.
The argument surrounded the ques-
ton Of whether damages should be
awarded according to the miners
wages received after cost of supplies
are deducted or whether the hiring
scale should be used as the basis for
the calculation.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, July 20. -. AL

General Attack Upon
American Gold Reserve Is
Predicted After War

Washington, July 90. - A general
European attack upon Americas un-
precedented gold reserve and foreign
trade at the close of the war is pre-
dicted in a statement submitted to the
House judiciary committee to-day by
the National Foreign Trade Council
urging passage of the Webb bill to
permit American combinations in the
export trade.
Pointing out that the present enor-
nous export business is due largely to
an abnormal war demand the council
says the liberty to cooperate, which
rivals and customers of American
firms have enjoyed. has produced
highly organized selling agencies and
that the United States cannot hold its
position in the world of business if
European industrial and governmental
cooperation versus American COM
PEELED competition is to continue.
OF present conditions in the United
States the statement says:
"As all bank credits are based on
the gold reserve, loans and discounts
have increased in proportion until
there exists a structure of credit in
domestic as we'll as foreign commerce,
supporting expansion of business so
active and diversified that there is not
in the United States to-day a justi-
fiably idle able-bodied man The
statement is signed by a committee
of prominent exporters including John
D. Ryan, president of the Anaconda
Mining Company and James A. Far
rell, president of the United States
Steel Corporation.

Mcneil DepOsed to Give
Gufey POstmastership
BY Associated Press

Washington, July 20. - DR.. George
w. Mcneil was removed as postmaster
OF Pittsburgh because of a political
difference with the recognized Demo-
cratic leader of Allegheny county and
because he refused to remove the
assistant postmaster a Republican.
This was the assertion made here to-
day by the deposed postmaster.
Credence is given to this explanation
by the manner in which the story of
his removal was published in the bull
letin circulated among the postmasters
in attendance here at the convention
of postmasters.
Immediately upon dismissing Nc
Neil, the President nominated Alex
an6er S. Guffey, brother of Joseph f.
Guffey, the Palmer leader in Allie
gheny county. officials or the depart
ment deny that politics had anything
to do with the removal of Mcneil and
insist that his dismissal was due solely
to insubordination and failure to CO.
operate with the department. The
impression prevails here that the
trouble dates back to the county COM

when the Guffeys and Mcneil were on
opposite sides of the contest.
