"GUN TOTERS" IN
TROUBLE NOW
State Police Join Game War
dens in Rounding Up the
Alien Law Violators

In the neighborhood of zoo for
eigners have been arrested in the
last sixty days for violations of the
alien gun laws, which forbids un-
naturalized residents from owning
or carrying firearms. The act has
been vigorously enforced. especially
in Allegheny and Blair counties,
where numerous aliens were discov-
cred ''toting guns" This law was
enacted in 1909 and originally ap-
piled only to rifles and shotguns. 1t
was soon found that while it worked
very well from a game standpoint
there was q menace in allowing the
men to have revolvers and the ap-
plication of the act was extended to
pistols.
State policemen have been assist
ing in the enforcement of the act and
only violated the law against carry
ing concealed weapons, but were
aliens. There are now 125 revol-
Vers of all kinds and sizes in the
offices of the Game commission
where they are sent after being con-
iiscated.
The Game Commission officers
turned up some unusual violations
in central counties where it was
found that men who We're not even
naturalized were not only carrying
revolvers, but had naturalization
papers. In running down these cases
it was discovered that they had
been passed along in the last two
years by men who had been natur
allied, but had gone back to their
old allegiance when the war broke
out and instead of turning in the
papers handed them to friends who
assumed privileges of citizenship.

Smiledge Books and
TheQter Passes
BY "THE VETERAN"

The problem of maintaining an ef-
fective fighting force is u difficult
one at any time, and it is doubly
hard, in the case of the United States
because of the distance which sepa-
rates our country from the lighting
lines. The war will be won by fight
ing men and men rendered ineffec-
tive, from any cause, decrease the
strength of the Army by their alb
sence. Therefore. it is vitality neces-
sary to see that the toll of prevent
able disease is kept at a Minimum
especially in this country where ev-
erything is in our favor for accom-
plishing this.
The draft was the correct way to
quickly raise an Army. But getting
crowd of young men together in
an Army camp is the barest start.
Everyone now knows and realizes
acutely the length of time needed to
train an Army in the rudiments of
soldiery. The men in training are
worked hard, harder probably than
most of them ever worked before.
They do the same thing, over and
over again-in order that the actions
may finally become automatic. For
that is military necessity. And the
men are in better shape physically
than they ever have been before.
They live outdoors-and go through
systematic exercise daily to strength
en- them physically. For war is the
glorification of the physical. AS a
result of this training men of forty
act like boys eighteen when the lid
is taken off at night and they have
few hours time for themselves.
These off hours constitute one of
the danger periods of the soldiers
life. 1t is then that the lure of the
nearby town is strongest. He Graves
something different from camp
lights, stores, girls, movies, anything
that Will provide 4 change and break
the monotony. If he don't get the
change, he becomes morose. sullen,
breaks rules and is necessarily pun
ished, and then developes a crouch
against everything connected with
the Army. the government and the
nation. Don't forget that you, each
individual, are part of the nation,
and that We are strong only when
we bind ourselves together. The SOL
dier forgets that-forgets team work,
high ideals, everything-and as a
result there is some kind of a smash
up-either mental or physical.
To prevent this breakage. and to
maintain such conditions that the
men may have those things to some
extent to which they are normally
accustomed, the War Department
and Navy Department each appoint
ed a commission on training camp
activities. Both of these commits.

Cut Out Car Stops, Is
Fuel-Saving Scheme

Washington, Feb. 9.-Elimination
OF one-third of the present electric
railway stops, on both urban and in
terurban lines, is under considera-
ticn by the fuel administration as a
means of saving fuel supplies. EN-
ports estimate that enforcement of
the plan would conserve more than
100000 tons of coal year.
In cities stops would be limited to
eight to the mile and in suburban
districts to six. on interurban lines
the stops would number not more
than four to the mile.
Three times as much power is re-
quired, the fuel administrations eX-
perts say, to make an electric car
stop than to run car a city block.
Six billion stops, they say, would be
done away with.
The plan contemplates also re-
duction in the amount of power
used for heating cars. Some cities al
ready are using the reduced stop
system.

ATTORNEYS AND BANKERS
HEAR TAX EXPERT

The most informative. discourse
bearing on the federal income tax
law that Harrisburgers have heard
was delivered last night in the court
house by James Rattray, of the Guar
anty Trust Company, New York. Com
ing at a time when federal onlcers
arc busiest in their task of assessing.
the the income tax; when hundreds o.
inouiries daily pour into the local
revenue office, the speech was highly
interesting to a great number of citi-
zens. especially bankers and lawyers.
IT was the Dauphin County Bar Asso-
ciation which secured the services of
Mr.. Rattray.
The point chiefly emphasized by the
sneaker was that this new law will
result in incredible good to the coun-
try, partly for the reason that every
manufacturer and merchant must now
annually take accurate stock of all
enterprise.

I tional work, experts in athletics,
such as. DIR. Joseph Raycroft and
Walter Camp, and professional the
atrical men. such as Mare Klaw.
For theatrical entertainments are
absolutely necessary to the men in
camp. Think of it in this way. You,
out here, are working at your daily
| tasks, you may come and go as you
please-in your free time. You like
| to break up the daily routine by go
ing to a movie show or a comedy in
the evening. You need to relaX-to
drive away your troubles.
The men in the camp need this
more than you. Their daily lives are
very dlfterent-yery abnormal. The
Iroutine and drill get on their nerves
Therefore, the theater-for a show
takes their minds off themselves,
and their work and worry, and a
laugh restores the idea that life
isn't so bad after all.
Tho government built a large the
ater in each National Army camp,
in which the drafted men were
placed. These theaters seat 5000
men. Chautauqua and Lyceum bur-
reauS put up tents-seating 1900 or
. 900, at the sixteen National Guard
CulllpS anu nave DeeH running leC-
lures, concerts and comedy acts for
some time. The large theaters are
nearly all finished; indeed many of
them are running, and the total
combination of theaters and tents
will mean . circuit of about forty
eight playhouses. These must be
self-supporting, necessarily. And the
operation requires that n consider
able sum of money be gathered to-
gether to guarantee the expenses of
the shows. For real Broadway COM
edies will act as gloom -dispellers.
Companies are rehearsing Turn to
the Right Inside the Lines"
Here Comes the Bride" and Cheat
ing Cheaters" and Keith's vaudeville
circuit VIII put on four complete
bills.
Therefore. Smileage Books were
invented. These are books of five
cent coupons, which are exchange
able at the camp theater office for
admission tickets. The expenses are
low, and the cost to the boys is low
also, running from ten cents to
twenty-five cents for a show which
would cost $500 in the city.
Smileage Books correspond to an
advance sale of theater tickets. You
buy a book, costing 81 or So, and
send it to a friend in camp. The
coupons, twenty or one hundred, are
exchanged two, three or five at a
time for seat tickets. Thus, you
virtually buy series of tickets for
the man who is fighting your bat
ties, for the coupons are good until
used. Can you think of nicer pres
ent? One more appreciated? Every
time the soldier uses the Smileage
Book he thinks of the friend who
sent it. He thanks them again and
again. SIIileage fastens the bonds
CT friendship that result from
laugh.

County Must Pay More
For Courthouse Work and
Care of County Charges

An increase of twenty per cent. in
court expenses, courthouse main
tainance, costs for care of the in
sane and charges for prisoners in
penal institutions, not including the
Jail, is shown by n comparison of the
annual reports of County Controller
Henry w. Cough, for the expendi-
lures in 1915 and in 1917.
During the two years the advance
in these four items in the annual
budget was more than $21 900. In
1915 court expenses were $27, ,352.7A;
courthouse maintenance, $10,350.24:
penal institutions, $15,93S.19 and
care of insane, $27,154.S4; a total of
$SO,796.01.
Last year these costs were court
expenses $33,0S0.15; courthouse
maintenance, $14,196.61; penal in
stitutions, $19,276.13, and care of
insane, $35, ,467.09. total of $102,-
019.9S. The advance according to
county commissioners is due to the
increasing number of court cases,
and the advances charged by penal
institutions and asylums because of
increasing cost of maintenance of
those institutions.
