A sturdy tramp went into a subur-
ban garden where the lady of the
house was occupied in attending to her
bulbs.
He took no notice of her refusal to
give coppers, but continued to worry
her until small dog appeared, bark
Ing loudly. The lady seized its collar
ind held it, calling out:
You had better go; It may bite"
You amt got no right to keep a
savage dog" replied the tramp, out

Perhaps | have not" she answered
coolly. "If you think so l won't keep
him. I'll let him 60"
The latch of the gate clicked vio-
Iently, and in 20 seconds the tramp had
vanished into space.

MILLION YOUNG MEN
REGISTER FOR WAR
FROM THIS NUMBER 100000 WILL
BE FIT FOR DUTY, 1T is
ESTIMATED.
While Law Requires That Regstrants
be Placed at Bottom of Glass to
Which They are Assigned. Many
Will Soon be Called.

Washington.-A million young Amer
leans, just turned u, were registered
on June 8 for service in the war for
world freedom. Orders went out from
the office of Provost Marshal General
Crowder to the governors of all states
| except Arizona for the mobilization be-
tween June "A and IS of 100000 more
registrants. This was in addition to
10000 negro men requisitioned from
twenty states and brings the total num-
Der of selective service men called to
the colors to 1.595,704, and when they
are in camp the nations army will
number well over 100000 men.
10000 Fit for Service.
The men who registered June 5 have
become of age since the first registra-
ton day, June 3, 1917. Military author
tiles estimate that from their number
there will be had 100000 men fit for
active duty.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned, many of them may soen
be called TO the colors, as the re-
QUESTION upon the governors probably
will exhaust the first class in some
states. While no formal explanation
was made, this was believed to have
been the reason why Arizona was not
included in the call
Registration days for men becoming
p years old probably will be fixed
every three months hereafter. 1t is
estimated that 100000 men become of
age yearly, and the new registrants
are expected to go far toward keeping
up the first class in each state. from
which thus far all men for the ma
donal army have been drawn.
Illinois is directed to furnish 2S. 500
men under the latest call, more than
double the number called from New
York, which is second on the list.
Pennsylvania is to furnish 1900 and
Minnesota 10000

80 I can do my house work without any
difficulty. / advise any woman who is
afflicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound trial and it will do as much for
them. Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1921 9th
St., N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi-
lions where a hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary - every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it a
fair trial before submitting to such a
trying ordeal
If complications exist, write to Lydia
E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass,
for advice. The result of many years
experience is at your service.

WRONG IMPRESSION
AS TOFARE INCREASE
ON TROLLEY LINES
Not a Straight 7-Cent Fare, But
Four Tickets for a Quarter, or
6 IA Cents Each.
COMMISSIONS STATEMENT
Public Utility Commission today issued
the following statement:

Public Utility Commission today issued
the following statement:
There seems to be an entirely erron-
eous impression that the increase OF fare
granted to the Wilmington & Philadelphia
Traction Co. gives this company a
straight cent fare
II should be borne In mind that the
fare really is Ga cents.
The Public Utilities Commission had
experts examine the mechanical part
of the property, and also experts to go
into the financial end OF their business,
and the figures submitted, in our ludg-
ment, show that the company, in order
to paw their running expenses, and the
interest on their bonded indebtedness
only. as we'll as pay their trainmen
maximum of 40 cents per hour, neccS-
STATED fare of something over cents
per ride. and less than cents. As 1t
was impossible to split penny, the com
mission adopted the four tickets tor
quarter scheme, or cents a single ride.
Whether the company's bonded IN
dehtedneSs is too high, and whether their
common stock is watered or represents
value. can only he determined by an
appraisal Of their property, which would
REQUIRE both q large expenditure of
money by the city and would take months
to determine.
The traction company for some time
past has been losing money each month,
and this was condition which had TO
be rcmedied promptly. or force the COM
pany into bankruptcy.
ON account Of the Importance Of the
traction companys property to the gov
eminent At this time, We are led 10 he
licve that the government would not
have allowed the company to have gone
into the hands of q receiver. but would
have taken IT over and operated It, and
would have required the public to pay
whatever rate Of fare was necessary 70
keep the traction company solvent
In other words, they would have treated
this company exactly the same as they
are operating the railroads today.
Therefore, il seems TO the Public
Utility Commission that It was up to the
city Of Wilmington TO handle their own
difficulty and not force il on the govern
ment at this critical tune.
The commission had all tho practical
and financial facts before them, and
decided the case purely on the facts,
and endeavored TO provide only Tor the
operating expenses and interest on the
bonded Indebtedness necessary 10 keep
them out Of the receivers hands. and have
not provided for any dividends on the
common stock whatsoever
This statement Is not made as an apoi-
ogv for the action Of the commission
but to endeavor 10 correct the impress
sion. which il seems Is asslduously belnl
gwen to the public. 10 endeavor to make
them believe that the rate OF fare was
raised from ; cents 70 Z cents.
