He appealed, and the case was heard yesterday and today by Judge Walsh and the jury,
 Dunn denied any intent to sell short measure, and blamed pump Tn use at the garage which had been tested short time before the sale to Stlles August ?, 1916.

CHESTER, Pa. Oct. 29.-Five thou
sand Delaware County women who
heretofore. have never worked outside
of their own households have donned
bloomers and overalls and obtained en-
ployment in the war plants Of the Ches-
ter zone. according 10 a statement made
by Miss Ethyl Turk, Of the United
States Employment Service. who has
charge Of the local Offices here. This to-
tai does not include the laborlng class
Of women who signed up through the
Department Of Labor.
Society celebrities, representing Della
ware County's wealthy families, and, In
some instances. its millionaire families,
have forsaken the limousine for the
bloomers and appealed to Miss Turk for
positions. A tour through most any one
of the scores Of ordnance plants in this
district viii see these society women
hard at work In fact, they are holding
down a mans job. With the new draft
In operation, the men who held the
lighter positions have lost out and are
being sent 10 camp,
Betweeni7 and O'Clock in the morn
ing, while the day shift is checking in,
one may stand at the entrance gate of
ammunition, shell or shrapnel plant and
see the automobiles roll up and the
women step out for the days work.
Old residents Of Chester can hardly be-
lieve themselves. but the war has turn
edseverything topsy-turvey. and society
in Delaware County is a thing Of the
past until after the war.
Suffrage leaders are not losing this
opportunity TO point with pride to the
work the women are doing. In fact
some OF the women who have enrolled
to hold down mans place are loyal
suffrage workers.

ROME, Sept 30-(By Mail.)-The Of

bacillus Of the so-called Spanish influ-

in Policlinico. Italy's most important
medical journal.
The micro-organism discovered by
me is called the bacillus bi-pohr pi-

the blood, is expectorated by the vic
tins and is found in the atmosphere
around those stricken. tits also found
IN the expectoration Of convalescents.
II develops, slowly even five days af-
fer being placed in culture tubes.
Owing to its constant pressure in the
blood, the epidemic might be called
pseudo influenzic septiicaemia. This
micro organism has no relation to the
influenza bacillus and is absolutely new

The Kaiser Gets Information
Written by George shtofmsn, 10
Years Old, No. 726 Market Street.

The kaiser in his palace one day.
To his friend Hlndenburg did say,
"Hindenburg, | want you TO command
the fight.
Because l know that you are alright.
Hindenburg leaves for the front, think
ing he'll advance,
But at the front, gets scared at the Al
lies earnest glance,
The Huns, they were defeated,
Then at once they retreated,
Hindy then got a telegram,
Saying Come back to Potsdsm."
Hindenburg and the kaiser have chat
The kaiser says, "Hindenburg, you are
a fat rat,
Hindenburg, you are bum,
| think you drink too much rum,
Why don't we win2
Look the Yanks are near Berlin"
Hindenburg then begins TO speak,
He tells Of his great retreat.
positions is what we get,
So don't you fret,
We get good positions, that's why
retreat.
In these positions. the Allies we will
beat"
But the kaiser cut Hindy off
And turned TO General Ludendorn.
"Ludendorff, take Hindy's place..
And for Paris start TO race,
Never mind the cost, and
Capture London, in England"
Luneddorff now goes to the front,
And tries TO carry out the kaiser's
stunt.
Once more the Huns met defeat,
And again the retreat
Back 10 the palace Ludendorff goes.
To tell the kaiser what he knows.
"Is our army In London,
And in Paris, what have you donef"
The kaiser in his JOY did ask.
And Ludendorff tells his task,
"Our armies are in those cities now.
Captured by the Yanks. somehow,
For Argonne Forest, we started back,
To get positions, which we did lack,
In the forest started q wondrous tight,
We put the Allies all TO flight,
City after city did we take,
Let me tell you, this is no fake,
We advanced day and night,

WHAT A WONDERFUL THING

How big a place do you

Toys keep the first school

Ifitwere the only school,
the results might not be so
fatal as these of all school
and no toys.
The more of the toys, the
greater the variety in all
kinds, the greater zest in
play accomplished through

And the greater thenum-

Believe me, we would be winning this
day,
But It happened this way,
General Pershing and his Marines,
Came UP, as TO me II seems,
Took the fight In his hand,
And made us run TO beat the band.
So we took positions that were new,
But our boys were numbered few,
Back to the better positions we went,
Thinking those Yanks would relent,
From the better positions we were
chased,
But another defeat we faced.
But got good positions somehow,
IN the Yanks don't find now,
In that position we Will stay,
Even from now, till doomsday.
But in the midst OF this talk,
Up came Pershing, along the walk.
"Ah ha, we won," the kaiser thinks,
And he orders up the drinks,
rs not Perehing prisoner OF war;
I viii tease him TIL he is sore"
And when the general entered here,
The kaiser, set down his stein Of beer,
General Pershing spoke and said:
Here is something you have not read"
IL says the Allies did win,
And Old Glory ny oer Berlin.

the child loses that
sense of helplessness with
which he starts existence,
and unconsciously attains
the self-confidence and
sense of personal power
which he must have, if he's
ever to build a real house,
preside over a family of
real children, steer a real
boat or automobile, drive a
real milk-wagon or keep a
real storelike Wanamaker's.
Even after the present

THANK goodness, 8,

Il neither begging, buy
ing, nor bending will
prevail against the play-in-
stincts Of a chil6s heart.
Otherwise all toys might
be alike, and all children
might grow alike.
Or, more terrible still,
there might be no toys at
all, and then what in the
world would we grown4ups
do? not to speak of the chill
dren.
Why, there would be no
children at ALL
Just sad-eyed little men
and women, waiting around
stolidly to grow into great
er stohdity as bigger men
and women.
It's a great relief to
think OF the queer little
dolls they always dig up,
those archaeologists, when
they tackle any kind of,pre-
historic mound or buried
city, and the quaint like
ness of or substitutes for
and balls or kites which
make us feel that it's likely
boys will be boys to the end
of time, since boys always
were boys from its verysbe-
ginning.
A N acre and a half Of
IA space in a great
Store, devoted to toys
of all descriptions, isn't an
acre and a half of mistakes,
that's certain.
