Of the Red Cross is to encourage the peo-
pie who have been forced to leave their
homes to go back to their villages and
begin over again. 1t is indeed discour-
aging to go back to a former comfortable
home and And that not even a fork has
been left. that some part of every bit OF
farm machinery Is missing and that all
the farm animals are dead or taken away.
The Red Cross gives just enough to these
people to encourage them to start anew.
Another important work is with the little
children. Much time has been spent try

countries where the necessary foods can-
not be obtained. These are but a few of
the duties of the Red Cross abroad.
1t home the Red Cross is trying to look
after the people who are left behind by
the men who go to the front. Some men
go away leaving the family in good cir
cumstances and the person who is sup
porting the family suddenly dies and the
family is left destitute. Such cases are
looked after by the Red Cross. They also
plan to have a storehouse in every camp,
where there will be a reserve supply of
bedding blankets. hospital supplies. etc.
In these st%orehouses the Red Cross will
not take the place of the army but will
simply as an emergency store.

MINIMUM FIXED
FOR PENHSY PENSION
Company Approves Change
That Will Give Men at
Least SIS Monthly
NEW REGULATION
NOW EFFECTIVE

A change in the method OF deter
mining the amount of pensions to be
paid to the retired employees of the
Pennsylvania railroad system, and
which will benefit the employees OF
the company here, as well as IN all
places east and west OF Pittsburgh
and Erie, has just gone into enect'
after having been authorized by sew
eral boards of directors Of the organi-
cation. The method became effective
with the January payments. 1t in
creases allowances in a number of IN
stances and also it sets a minimum or
SIS a month.
The purpose Of the change is to
protect employees who are unable by
reason of sickness or inhrmity, TO
earn full time during the closing
years Of their service.
Pension allowances are now paid
monthly by the railroad on the basis
of one per cent. of the average regu-
lar monthly pay, during the ten years
preceding rtirement, for each year OF
service with the company. Under this
method, it has been found that IN
some cases the employees, on account
of sickness or old age, were unable
to make full time during the ten-yeaI
period. which resulted in a reduction
IN the amounts OF pensions they would
otherwise have received.
Under the new plan, in order TO ar
rive at the average monthly pay or an
employe who has been unable to make
full time the total amount OF money
earned during the last ten years VIII
be divided by the total number oil
months or parts thereof he was actu-
ally engaged In case an employe
should not be engaged at all during
the ten-year period, the pay he re-
ceived for the last full month. work
ing under normal conditions. will be
considered his average pay, under the
new regulations.
The revised regulations apply to al
employees pensioned on or after Janu
ary / 1917. Employees who had beer
previously placed on the pension roll
and who had not previously been re
ceiving as much as the new rule
would allow, have, commencing witt
that date, had their pension allow
ances increased to conform to the new
regulations.
On January I. 1917, the pension lis
or Roll Of Honor"-of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad System east and ives
OF Pittsburgh and Erie contained 4
1912 names. Since January ], 1906
when the department was establish
ed, 9S9S employees have been place
on the "Roll OF Honor" 70 whom SlS
no 296.37 have been paid.

CAR Ticket SALE NOT
LOTTERY. JUDGE SAYS
Despite Ruling, State Will
Arrest Men if Offer is
Renewed
WOULD SEND NEXT
CASE TO GRAND JURY

In City Court this morning argument
was heard in the case against Patrick
Cohan, charged with conducting a lot
terry in connection with the sale OF troll
ley tickets on the coupon system. The
case was dismissed.
John Il. Brady, attorney for Conan,
contended that the persons who did
Business with Conan could not lose any
money! neither was it in any sense a
game of chance, ii they fulfilled the
terms Of the contr6cts they signed. He
contended that lottery contemplated
some portion Of those engaged in IL
being losers through its operation, and
that if anyone lost anything at all it
was through their own fault by not liv-
ING up TO the terms of their contracts.
lie contended, also, that there was no
foreign lottery, because everybody and
everything connected with it was local
Deputy Attorney General Percy War
rem Green argued that, as question OF
public policy, it was not necessary Ia
show losses OF anyone. He contended
that, as the evidence disclosed that
Conan was the agent Of Conway, who
lives in Chester, and that the money
received by the local office was sent u
him, the contention of the State as t.
a foreign lottery had been proven.
The court then directed that the
cases should be dismissed. The court
stated that while Il was undoubtedly
new novel and unheard-of enter.
prise, that fact did not constitute Il
lottery. or a lottery scheme. Judge
Churchman called attention TO the
fact that the purchaser OF coupon
book was plainly directed 10 read II
carefully. and that in signing 1t he
signed a contract which, In reality
was a contract OF sale, for future de
livery, and he held that the sale OF
goods for future delivery of the goods
Or chattels sold was perfectly leglti
mate.
The court held that in assuming
contractual relations with the &C
cused, which was done when the con
tracts contained in the q upon book
were signed, the purchaser contract
/ ed to do certain things therein stated
and which was a contract for the III
ture delivery OF the chattels whei
the purchaser had complied with tn
terms OF the contract.
After the court had adjourned Der
uty Attorney General Green an
nounced that n the defendants al
tempted to reopen their place for IN
continuation Of the business he woul
again prosecute those concerned in
, and take the cases against them dire
