Carneqie's Advice,

Andrew Carnegie, who for years
yielded an influence in the industrial
world as great perhaps as any living
man, came to this country practically
Denniless when he was twelve years
old. His phenomenal rise in life may
be attributed to his following clear
principles and methods. In an address
to students in a commercial college he
said: avoid speculation; avoid in
dorsemcnts. Aim high. For the ques-
ton, What must do for my employ
err? substitute What can do? Begin
to save carly-'capitalists trust the
saving young man. Concentrate your
energy, thought and capital; fight it

horses We're taught to kncel to permit
their riders to mount. 4 beautiful
Greek vase in one of the museums in
Petrograd shows war horse Of many
centuries ago knecling low before an
amazon. The riders in those days
mounted from the ''off" side in contra
diction to the modern usage. Plutarch
tells how in the first century OF this
era certain efreminatc Roman riders
found even the horse block of too little
assistance and had their horses trained
to kneCl to them.

MOTORBOAT FANS"
MUSTPAY WAR TAX
Owners of Yachts and Sailing
Craft Also Subject to New
Federal Excise

Yachtsmen and motorboat fans" will
have to pay the Government war tax for
their pleasure in the future
According to the new tax law. on July
i OF each year. and also at the time Of the
original purchase of a new boat by the
user IL on any other date than the above,
an excise tax must be paid upon the use
of pleasure yachts, power and sailing
boats Of over Ave net tons, and motorboats
with fixed engines. which are not used ex-
clusively for trade or national defense, nor
built according to plans and specifications
approved by the Navy Department.
This tax will be based on each yacht
or boat at the following rates;
yachts, pleasure boats, powerboats,
sailing boats and motorboats with fixed en-
gines, of over hve net tons, length not
over fifty feet, fifty cents for each foot /;
length over fifty feet and under 100 feet,
81 for each foot: length over 100 feet, 81
Tor each foot motorboats Of not over five
net tons with fixed engines, S."
This gives rise 10 the question Of how
much tax these maritime enthusiasts will
have TO pay IL they should purchase a new
boat on some date other than July l. Inas-
much as the tax year extends from July to
the following July. 1t would not be fair to
make these owners pay years tax for the
use Of their boats when they did not have
them that long.
The Government. anticipating this query,
has ruled that II a boat is bought after the
passage OF the new law. II must be paid on
the date OF purchase, yet the amount 10 be
paid shall be the same number Of twelfths
OF the amount OF the tax as the number
Of calendar months remaining until the fol-
lowing July ], including the month Of sale.

CAMP MEADE Admiral Md. oct 90
The man who pasted Colonel Roosevelt
In the eye so hard that the sight Cf that
eye was eventually lost has been discov-
cred, and he is now in the service Of his
country at Camp Meade He is Colonel
Dan T. Moore. commander Of the 3l0th
Field Artillery. Seventy ninth Division OF
the National Army which Is now in train
ing here fer service in France.
The Colonel himself refused to give the
name of the husky young artillery cap
tain" who was responsible for the loss Of
his eye when he gave out the story some
days ago, but II was no difficult matter to
deduce his identity from the time of the
occurrence and the surrounding circum-
stances, and when the direct question was
put to him here Colonel Moore did not deny
that he was the man.
Colonel Moore expresses the deepest re-
gret that such serious consequences re-
suited from his friendly bout with the then
Commander-in-chief of the army and avy
of the United States, a regret no less keen
that the story should become known. He
also declares that he never knew that he
had blinded the Colonel until he read in a
paper Of the latter's statement that he had
been deprived OF the sight of his eye. 1t
Is his intention to write the former Presi-
dent letter at the first opportunity and
express the regret that he feels on the sub
sect.
In 1905, at the time of the occurrence,
Colonel. then Captain Moore, was a mill
tary aid at the White House. Other
aids at the same time were Granville
Fortescue. the war correspondent, and
Phil Sheridan, son of the famous Civil
War veteran OF the same name. Moore,
however, was the only one of the trio
strenuous enough to keep pace with the
President in his boxing bouts. and he fire.
quently put on the gloves and went a few
fast rounds with the hero of San Juan.
"A bout with the Colonel was always a
fast AFFAIR" said Colonel Moore. In talking
about the matter, "and II would be impos
slble to give any description OF the blow
which caused the loss of his eye. The Col
onel would always force the fighting, and
the man who opposed him had to go at tor
speed and fight every minute Of the time
TO keep from being put out. 1t was i'm
possible to be careful in delivering blows
and that is my only excuse for the fact
that seriously injured him. The Colonel
himself would have been the last man tc
have stood for anything like ladylike fight.
ing"
Colonel Moore is a close-knit muscular
man of five feet eleven, weighs in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds and looks every
inch the sort of man who could hit a blow
sufficient 10 do serious damage to an op
ponent. He has always kept in the pink OF
physical condition and is exceedingly fond
of boxing.

BRIDGE COLLAPSE
Is BEING PROBED
Two Men Killed and Four
Hurt When Span Falls
Into Creek
MANY NARROW ESCAPES

A rigid investigation was started today
to determine the cause and fix responsible
ity for the collapse of the span OF the new
concrete bridge over Pennpack Creek on
the Northeast boulevard late yesterday
Two men were killed outright when the ac-
cident occurred. Several others were IN
jured seriously. Many had narrow escapes
The collapse came without the slightest
warning, according to survivors. The span
gave way and crashed many feet into the
water below, burying several men under
the debris
The cause of the accident, unofIicially, has
been attributed to the workmen, who are
said to have placed sections of the center
span on the concrete bases before the lat
ter were dry enough to be used for sup
ports. The bridge is being erected at cost
Of 100000
Director Datesman, of the Department
Of Public Works, after careful investiga-
ton and survey of the bridge declared that
an engineering investigation involving IN
tricate mathematical calculations will be
necessary to ascertain the cause of the cCl-
lapse of the middle span of the steel frame
He said that the responsibility for the ac-
Cident which cost two lives rests with the
contractors intrusted with the work. He
lkened the accident to the one that oc-
Cured on the Quebec bridge n year or two
ago and said that every move had been
figured out in advance to the smallest frac-
tion.
The bridge Is three-span construction,
seventy-five feet above Pennypack Creek,
and is ] so feet long. The span which col
lapsed was eighty feet long.
Twenty men were on the span and all
were hurled into the creek. G. r, Camp,
superintendent of the bridge construction,
stood in the Northeast Boulevard, near the
scene Of the tragedy, and Communicated
several automobiles to hurry the dead and
injured worlimen to the Frankford Hospital.
