WHERE PARENTS
HAVE HELPED

In their mature judgment, and in
the wealth of their experience, par
ents have the power to make their
daughter happy in her work. A wise
choice of place for her in the
business world often depends upon
their careful consideration of GER
tain questions.
Will her associates prove to be
carefully chosen? Is the work per-
manent? Is the salary satisfactory,
and will it be increased as she gains
in experience? Will she find an OPP
portunity for promotion to posi-
tions where the added responsibility
means still higher salary?
Harrisburg parents have found
these questions answered af-
firmatively when inquiring about
telephone operating for The Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania.
This company invites the interest of
fathers and mothers who wish to in
sure for their daughter work in pro-
tected surroundings where she can
enjoy positive advantages.

your daughter work under these
conditions, send her, or better yet,
go with her, to see the Chief Opera

SURPLUS
FOR RAILROADS
First in Many Months Under
Government Operation;
Some Figures

Washington, Sept. S.-For the first
time in many months, government OPP
GRAFTON of the railroads in July
showed a surplus instead of deficit.
Director General Hines announced
to-day that preliminary figures of the
months business indicated net op-
Grating income of s77,000,0O0. After
allowing one-twelfth of the annual
rental due the railroad companies the
net gain is about 100000 as COM
pared with a deficit of $22.031,O0O the
preceding month. and 65,000,000 in
February, the largest deficit of the
year. The net loss to the government
for seven months is $500, 526.307.
In calculating the surplus, how ever.
no account was taken of the wage
increase offered the shopmen, and
which has not yet been accepted by
them. 1t has been estimated that the
four cents an hour advance would
Smount to about $45,o00.000 a year,
and as 1t is retroactive, the surplus
for July may become a deficit of ap-
proximately the same amount.

Labor Day Travel Was
Heavy on Reading Line:

Labor Day travel on the Reading
Railway was the heaviest ever
known and it required close figur-
ing in order to take care of the
thousands of people. Those who
passed through Reading on Satur-
day and Sunday for points in the
coal regions returned Monday eve
ming and it was necessary to provide
five special. trains to accommodate
them. One of these had IT cars and
all were crowded. The travel from
the local stations on Monday was
very heavy. No one was injured,
except the young man who lost his
life at Hamburg.

There was a time when it was thought that the use of the typewriter offered a safe shield for tho writer of the anonymous letter, the falsifier of documents and others of that ilk. That day is past. Experts have gone to work on the subject of typewriting identification, and arc now prepared to furnish all the testimony necessary to esta blish any point that defense or prosecution may require. They have found that there is as much room for individual differences in typeWriting as in handwriting.
 Here is an instance of how the thing works: A man once made a will which, for obvious purposes, certain persons desired altered. With this end in view, the will was obtained the necessary line carefully erased an other substituted, and the docume mt returned to it's place. The work was very well done. The erasure was hardly noticeable, and the typewriting of the substituted line matched the rest of the will apparently to perfec- tion
 Dissa tisfied relatives caused an in vestigation. The will was subjected 10 a careful scrutiny An expert on pevriting was called in. He proved with very little trouble that the sub stituted line was written with a diff ferent machine and with a ribbon which, though very similar, differed from the rest; that this machine was not even in existence when the will was drawn. and, furthermore, he dem onstrated conclusiyely that the change was written in on a typewriter in the office of a certain lawyer in the town where the case was tried
 Varia tions of alignment imperfect and battered type faces. irregular spacings, and other ills that the hard worked typewriters mechanism is heir to. contribute to give each machine an individuality that the expert can identify with absolute accuracy.

The Feeling of Security.
Minneapolis JournaL)

Whatever congress in it's wisdom may do regarding military training in the future, one thing is sure: Hun dreds Of thousands of young men, trained in the arts of war, are now putting off their uniforms and are be- ing absorbed into civilian life. It gives a certain sense of safety, this knowledge that there is a, great body of trained men who could. at the call of necessity, rally to the defense or the country.
 This feeling of safety. however, will decrease with the passage ot tune, unless some plan is devised by con- gress to keep the ranks ready to be filled if need be. But one look at the smouldering fires across the ocean, at the Italians in ferment ad the Jugo-Slavs rallying to the colOrs again a the unorganized world still ques- tioning the imm ediate future, at the situation and the spirit of Mexico, which may flame out in active war fare again. makes the advocate Of the old unpreparedness hesitate before
