back to Philadelphia on the 70 o'clock
trip. There was some speculation
about the wharf as to whether the
Pennsylvania authorities would accept
the Woman's word that she and the
child had Just left Philadelphia, and
permit them to land at that port with
out first obtaining a certificate from
a physician.
No health inspector was to be found
at the Pennsylvania Railroad station,
and the officials Of the company said
that there was not one on duty there.
II is likely that a man will be Sssign-
ed to the station as we'll as to the
Baltimore and Ohio station some time
today or tomorrow. The ticket agents
call the attention of parents of chill
dren under 16 years of age to the
notice issued by the railroad company
giving a resume of the regulations
adopted by the Pennsylvania health
authorities, and do not refuse to sell
1 tickets TO young children. No demand
to inspect certificates was made today
! by anyone at the station.
Very little trouble was experienced
/ by the authorities at the Fourth street

parents attempted to argue with the
boat officials. who inspect the certi
icates. but the majority of peopl,
seemed familiar with the new rul,
and either produced the necessary
certificate or turned back No charg,
is made by the health board for certi

ALL RECORDS BROKEN
STEEL CORPORATIONS NET RE.
a.... CElPTs SS1,126,O4a.
Six Millions More Than the Official
Estimate, Which Was Consid-
cred Beyond Belief.

New York, July 2G.-Net earnings
of the Steel corporation in the June
quarter were ut the rate of II per
cent per annum on the sos, 900
common stock-after allowing for in
terest charges, sinking fund require
ments and the regular disbursements
on the preferred shares. An extra
dividend of one per cent was declared
on the Junior issue.
The net receipts, $S1, l2G,O4S, were
100000 beyond the official estimates
made last month, which appeared TO
be incredible to the financial district.
The income in the last three months
is equal to In per cent on the COM
mon certificates for the entire year.
AS the intake in the March quarter
was $50, 1924 the actual amount
earned from January to July l was
1912 per cent on the ordinary stock.
But the revenue in the June period
may be accepted as indicative of fu-
ture earnings; for it was not until
last month that the higher prices on
the bulk of the company's business
became effective. Up to that time or
ders had been filled on the old, lower
schedule of quotations. 1t is more
than possible, it is probable, that the
net profits for the current year will
show approximately S400,000,O0O.

DREAD THE" SNEAK CURRENT"
Electricians in Constant Fear OF Hap
penins Which Means Immediate
and Fearful Disaster.

i. One Of the most dreaded risks in
the use of electricity for power pur-
poses is the Sneak current" which
may be compared to leakage in
gas main. Only it is far more danger
GUS, because you can smell escaping
gas, whereas you cannot smell cleo
tricity. One Of the earliest warnings
of the existence of this new kind OF
hidden peril occurred at the electricity
works of the Manchester (Eng) corpo-
ration on September 10Th, 1899. In the
engine room Of the power house at the
time no fewer than fourteen engines,
each of 400 horse power, were working
at full pressure. By some unexplained
means a sneak current reached and
fused the copper rivets which held to-
gether the two ends of a'leathern belt
connecting one Of these engines with
a dynamo. The result was that the
belt parted, the released fiywheel start
ed revolving with terrific speed. and
presently flew to pieces. These, hur-
Ting in all directions, wrecked other
flywheels, and in few seconds the
splendid power house, with all.its cost
ly and beautiful machinery, was utter

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
Stenograpner Saved Employers. Fam
a lily From Long Summer With
out Fresh Bread.

This is a tale wherein the stenog-
rapher was not only of vast assistance
in the husbands Office, but was in
valuable to the wife, as well, for at
least the summer months. The family
bought one of the attractive camps in
the Maine woods, well out OF reach Of
real helpful civilization and never real
lied until they arrived and unpacked
all the groceries that the one thing
necessary to their happiness was not
among them-a compressed yeast
cake. And, what was worse, there
was no place where they could get
one; summer of crackers stared
them in the face. The wife, in de.
spair, wrote to the stenographer to
look up yeast data Of all kinds at once.
This valuable young person solved
the problem with her usual prompt
tude by going to first class grocery
shop and leaving an order to have
three perfectly good yeast cakes sent
by mail three times week at the
market price of two cents each and
two cents for first-class postage. The
cakes arrived in perfect condition at
regular intervals during the summer,
and for once the wife joined the hus
band in giving full praise to stenog
rapher who justly deserved it.
