Estate Oil" Gets Some
Men Into Trouble

Fake tree inspectors and sprayers
who have recently been working in
the eastern part of the State are being
hunted down by the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture and one ar
rest and conviction in Philadelphia
has been made.
Some of the men are claiming that
they are representatives of the De-
partment of Agriculture and are using
~ nat they name as State oil" for
tree treatment They usually follow
by charging big prices for the work.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles Z.
Patton wants to warn all persons
against such imposters and has or
dered Economic ZoologHt ]. G.. San
ders to prosecute all cases where such
false pretense has been practiced. In
Allentown, Easton and Reading an
other band of tree doctors have been
injecting lard into trees and many
are using inferior spraying dope. 70
ologist Sanders desires to have re-
ports sent him at Harrisburg of per-
sons representing themselves as State
agents or persons Offering to doctor
trees. of whose practice there is any
doubt.

Newlywed Slackers
Cannot Escape Army

Washington, Aug. 3. - Provost
Marshal General Crowder sent a
telegram last night to Governors
or all States which is relied upon
TO check in some measure the pres
ent rush to secure exemptions on
the ground of recent marriages. 1t
read as follows:
THE selective service law does
not require discharges in all cases
of technical legal dependency, but
only permits discharges where, in
view of dependency. a discharge
is advisable. Local boards NAV
well hold that a marriage hastily
consummated recently, and especi-
ally one consummated by a person
after he has been called to present
himself for examination to deter
mine his fitness for military SER
vice, does not create status OF
dependency in which IL is advis-
able to grant a discharge.
1T Is to be expected that local
boards viii exercise this full dis
cretion in cases where they are
convinced that unscrupulous per-
sons have thus violated the prin-
ciples of the selective service law
in the hope of escaping a duty
that is rightly theirs and of pass
ing that duty to some one else"

LONG HOURS A RARITY.

only once In Five Years Does Average
Trainrnan Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours in train service have
been reduced to minimum Is shown
by report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one en-
Dloye in Eve on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
In the whole year. Stated In another
Way. the chance Of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once in five years.
The total number OF cases Of excess
service from all causes reported to the
com mission was only 61.247 during the
year ending June 80. 1915, as COM
pared with 137.43a In 1914 and 270,827
in 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the rational hours -Of-service
law. Every time a train is so de-
layed by. blizzard. washout or 9th
er cause that any part Of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving the names of the i: i-:dividual en-
ployes concerned and full statement
Of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating in efforts to
prevent the keeping Of employees ON
duty for long periods. The reduction
Of nearly so per cent. in such cases
which has been brought about in three
years shows that the working Of men
for long stretches of continuous service
has practically disappeared except In
rare cases Of unavoidable delay.

Use Circus Cars to
Ship Automobiles

The scarcity OF freight cars, especial
ly cars Of large size suitable for ship
ping automobiles, has forced manu-
facturers and dealers TO resort to
different expediencies to get cars de-
hvered. 1t has been quite common
practice for cars to be delivered long
distances under their own power. An
other method has been TO ship auto
mobiles on fiat cars and protect the
cars with cloth coverings.
Still another rather novel plan has
been adopted by the Rude Auto Com
pany. of this city, Nevada, and Perry.
Like other dealers it has been unable
TO get delivery of automobiles because
OF the freight car shortage. 1t has
overcome the difficulty temporarily, at
least, by obtaining the use of elephant
cars owned by the Yankee Robinson
circus. 1t has arranged to have ship
ments made west of Chicago in these
cars, which are so large that ten small
automobiles can be loaded in one car
