NOW GET BUSY

vVvITH a feeling of relief Penn
wv sylvanians outside of Phila-
delphia read that the "Phila-
delphia differences have been for the
most part ironed out and the charter
bills will be passed without further
difficulty at an early date"
Perpetual wrangling in Philade!-
phia is the nightmare of politics in
Pennsylvania and an expensive hGi-
sance in the Legislature. With the
merits of the present bills we have
no quarrel. Doubtless, the changes
outlined therein are highly desir-
able from the standpoint of Phila-
delphia, but why not come before
the Legislature at the opening of ths
session with a workable program al
ready formulated and differences of
opinion threshed out and then lct
whatever debate and discussion must
follow come at n time when the
time could be most easily spared? In
the end the interests of Philadelp aia
will suffer if the present course is
pursued. People outside that cit: are
tired of the delay and indignant owe"
the expense necessltated by the
tying up of both House and Senate
year after year until Quaker City
yquabbles can be settled. One of
these days the inciptent revolt that
developed last week among the
country members may become a
revolution. with the result that Phila-
delphia interests would be thrown
overheard entirely. II which case
both the State-at-large and the city
would suffer. Upstate members will
not always stand patiently by and
see such a constructive program as
Governor Sproul outlined at the
opening of this session endangered
by the political and personal bick-
ering of Philadelphia influences and
factions. Some way must be found
TO settle these quarrels out Of
school.
Ghe Legislature will do we'll TO
get through with the charter bills
at the earliest possible moment and
then buckle down to work on the
many progressive bills Governor
Sproul has outlined from time to
time.

ceive that the institutions in Amer
lea, and particularly the practice of
government, may afford many use
full lessons to the more ancient gov
ernments of Europe and that kings
and people may learn that governors
are made for men, and not men for
governors; that the first considera-
ton everywhere is the people and
the comfort of the people; that there
is no very close and necessary con-
nection between the expensive splen-
dor of princes and the happiness of
the country, though the President
hangs the bride of his horse to a
pole whilst he enters the Congress.
If America wants something which
we may possess, she likewise pos
sesses much of what we are in want.

NoW the "RdW Beef Jag"
[From the New York American]

[From the New York Americana
Drunkenness on food" was de-
scribed by DR.. A. A. Brill, of the Mt.
Sinai Hospital staff the other night.
He told members and guests of the
New York Academy of Medicine that
the raw beef jag" and mixed
course spree" may be the rule among
chronic alcoholic victims after
July /.
He presented a concrete example
in the case of Madame "" When
she was denied her accustomed al
coholic stimulants, Doctor Brill said
the patient entered a state almost
Identical to drunkenness by eating
the following:
Four pieces of toast with straw
berry jelly.
Two crullers.
One boiled egg.
One roast beef sandwich.
One pound of almonds.
Three sliced cucumbers
Six bananas.
Two frankfurters with tea.
Three nut cakes.
One pound of chocolate candy.
Although Madame NJ was fraiI.
weighing about ninety pounds, Doc
tor Brill said she ate the above food
within a half-hour. Doctor Brill
cited this case to support his ascer-
ton that ingredients other than al
cohol cause intoxication in liquors
now sold.
Another case cited by Doctor Brill
was described as the raw beef Jag"
He said one patient, deprived Of al
cohol, received an 'intoxicating''
feeling after partaking of three
pounds of raw beef. Yet another
patient became drunk" after taking
several teaspoonfuls of table salt.

What Is Cost of a Cloud?
[From the Phila. Public LEDGER

[From the Phila. Public LEDGER
What is the cost of a cloud?
In a city like Philadelphia tens OF
thousands of electric lights are turn-
ed on when the sun is blanketed
and there are murky or somber skies
because of the dark clouds. Elec-
trio light means more use OF coal
and coal means money and the
money comes from the -public's purse
when the electric light bill comes in.
Someone figured that a rainy day
cost New York an unconsclonalIle
amount of money. Women, he eX-
planned. disbursed So per cent. of
the money earned by men. On rainy
or dark days they remained indoors
mostly. Store sales were curtailed,
traffic reduced and nearly every
class and character of business was
affected adversely. Theaters, movie
shows, ball games and general
amusements suffered seriously.
There is good deal of truth in
this. However, there are some lines
that are benefited. Persons buy
more umbrellas, overshoes, rain
coats and such articles. Strange to
say, some department store people
declared their rainy-day business
was quite satisfactory, many women
choosing such days for their buy
ing because the crowds were not so
great, and they did more purchas-
ing because they had better oppor-
tunity to make selections and re-
ceive attention.
In New York, in one of the tall
est structures, the electric light peo-
pie have watchers stationed night
and day to search the skies. At the
first sign of approaching storm, or
dark clouds the word is passed to
the great power houses, and the fire.
men get busy shoveling coal. so the
Edison people will be able to give
all the light New York needs.

as result of daylight saving. The
heating and lighting bills are greatly
reduced. Every householder saves
money in addition to enjoying the
long evenings for recreation or work
in the garden.
If you want daylight saving con-
tinued write to Senator Penrose, or
Senator Knox. or Congressman
Kreider. or better still, all three of
them. and ask them to vote against
the repeal of the law.
But you must act quickly. A week
or two and it may be too late.

This was narrowly averted at the

daylight saving is directed against

CONVENTION BUREAU

TIME establishment Of a conven-
ton bureau by the Chamber of
Commerce is a step in the right
direction. Harrisburg used TO have
conventions at the rate of one a day
during the year. Then came a time
when, by reason of decreased hotel
accommodations and the many mod
ern hostelries erected by rival cities.
we could no longer bid successfully
against those better equipped for
conventions and they ceased, almost,
to come.
Now. however. We are in position
to offer the best hotel facilities in
the State, and We have in addition
good highways for automobile travel
from all parts of the country and
abundant local attractions once the
tourist reaches here second to none
in Pennsylvania. We are ready to
do lot of convention advertising
and the Chamber is the organization
to do it.

Many mechanics who made more
