CROCKER EXPLAINS PRACTICES USED IN
 CASH AND CREDIT
Prominent Member of Warren District Business Mems As sociation in Comprehensive Exposition.
lRv E. A. Crockerl

Scattered from Maine to California, in every town worth the name, credit associations of some kind are to be found. Business methods of this day call them into existence as essential parts of the system. The path of least resistance in the expansion of any business is from cash to credit. Cred if spells a field without limits in the business world, Watch us grow IS the slogan always. The desirabillty of that added business depends how ever entirely on the safety of the cred its extended. A point can be very readily reached where the margin Of safety is so narrow that to avoid bank ruptcy a revision to a cash only basis with all its hampering limits may be- come imperative. To make this mar gin wide enough that the business man may profit and the consumer be ac- comodated is the sole object of the ordinary credit association.
 Equitable Ratings.
 Credit associations therefore are a positive factor in a world of exchange. They compile the information which when applied to trade relations advises the seller how far he may extend to the buyer in question the advantage of a line of credit. Without such data or similar data gathered by himself, the permitting of a credit sale marks a departure from the business meth ods which might be chased as safe. To some degree the business man has

Asserts "Uncle Joe" Is
"JOnah" Upon Whom Blame
Against Tariff Is Laid
By Associated Press

Washington, Aug. rs. - Senator
Gallinger, Republican leader and one
Of the old guard" told the Senate to-
day during debate on the revenue bill
the former Speaker Cannon was the
Jonah" upon whom the insurgent
wing of the Republicans heaped
blame for their complaint against the
Dingley tariff and that the late Sen
ator Aldrich vas chosen by them las
his confederate for attack and defam-
alton" The Republican leader de-
Tended both Representative Cannon
and Senator Aldrich.
AS far back as 1896. he declared,
certain politicians, began to plan the
seed of discomfort to break down the
protective tariff policy of the Repub-
lican party and to discredit the ac-
knowledged leaders Of that policy.
Men who called themselves Republi-
cans" he said, gave currency to the
startling n false theory that the
increase of living was due to excessive
rates provided by the Dingley tar

Miss Florence Reese, Miss Margaret
Myers, Miss Bertha Palladium and
Miss Marie Hoffman.

CHARGES HUSBAND
WITH ABDUCTION
Irate Father Prosecuted Youth
Who Elopes With His 10
Year-Old Daughter

In the hands of Squire James L.
Dickinson and stern John Smith. irate
father of pretty 15-year-old Margaret
Smith. that was, is the future happi-
ness or woe of young Mr.. and Mrs.
Ella Maircheff. Myers street, who
eluded watchful parental ayes. eloped
to Hagerstown. Nd, and were wed
Monday, August IA.
Last evening the bridegroom, who
has just attained his majority, was
hailed before Squire Dickinson to an
swer a charge of abduction preferred
by his sirl-wife's father. The gray
haired. benign justice, who has &C
CURED a reputation as a sort of a local
solon, listened attentively to both sides
Of the case, heard the irksome argu-
ments of counsel for each-and then
held the case under Amusement.
Should the justice decide that h
Macedonian youth, whom he declares
is a model American citizen, indus
triously working to make a home for
his young bride from the proceeds of
his business as a barber in Myers
street, committed a crime when he
took pretty Margaret Smith to Hagers-
town, the husband of a few days faces
a long penitentiary sentence. But the
Justice has some opinions of his own,
after hearing the whole case. and is
striving to end the suit as such suits
should be ended.
Young Maircheff, it was testified at
he hearing last evening. had been a
sutton for the hand of Miss Smith for
a long time. Unable to overcome par
entail objections. the father declared,
he induced the girl to elope with him
to Hagerstown where they were mar

The girls parents learned of the
elopement, they say, when their
daughter failed to return home. I'M

Can't Watch Autos
1T is practically impossible to eff
feet a complete supervision of the
means of transportation of thousands
of vacationists because of the great
umbe of persons who travel by au-
tomobile. 1t is not so difficult properly
to police the old means of transpor-
tation, such as train and ferry, but
when it comes to watching the count
less automobiles that travel the roads
the task becomes h~erculean, if not al
together impossible.
The time taken from the school
term now "a be made up easily with
careful management, possibly by add
ing a little to the June term when we
hope to have this miserable disease
~eradicated. 6
1T was exceedingly difficult for us
to come to a definite conclusion in
regard to the closing or schools for
1t is a serious matter to cut into the
working of so vast a mechanism as
the educational system of the State,
but we felt hat it was infinitely more
important that the health of children
should be maintained than that they
should be placed in school at this
time. BY the 18th of September we
hope by watching the situation care
fully to be able to open the schools
without danger to the children of the
Commonwealth. The advisory board
has left the advisability of opening
on that date to me with the posi-
bility that there will be certain re-
strictions placed on certain locations.
When the schools do open resident
students who occupy the dormitories
of universities and academies will be
put through a careful examination
and any coming from affected districts
will be kept under close supervision"
Where Fight Is Hardest
The Health Commissioner pointed
out that the disease seemed to be
making the greatest gains where the
social fabric of the people with the
affected areas of New York City was
closely knit. He showed that the
disease has made the most Roadway
in Philadelphia where there are four
trains an hour to New York City, and
in the Scranton-Wilkes-Ba districts
where the social life of the people is
closely knit with that of New York
City and State.
IF we do not see an increase in
the number of cases within the next
few weeks" said DR.. Dixon, I'VE shall
owe much to u quarantine, for this
is just the time when the disease
ordinarily flourishes."
No Ban on Parks
Asked whether any orders would be
issued prohibiting children from con-
gregating in the parks, DR.. Dixon
said:
Decidedly, no. In such places
as Reservoir Park, where thou
sands of children romp and play
every day, the children build up
resistance. Ut is in such places
as the overcrowded, illy-ven-
tilated movies hat they break
down his resistance and fall
ready victims of the disease.
DR.. Dixon said that the leading
educators of the State agreed with
him that it would be expedient to
keep the schools closed t this time,
and added that his experience as a
member of the Board of Education in
Philadelphia had taught him hat it
would not be exceedingly difficult to
gain the time lost by keeping the
schools closed any longer than usual.
