SEND CARS HERE
FOR OVERHAULING
Pennsy Anxious to Get Equip,
ment in Service to Take
Care of Business

Cars from foreign railroads and
belonging to the Pennsy are being
assigned to this city for repairs. The
officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road are anxious to get as much de-
sirable equipment running as is pos
sible. There are hundreds of cars
on sidings that must be looked after
before they can be moved.
Adding to the troubles on the main
line were several freight wrecks dur
ing the past week in which num-
ber of cars were smashed to kind
ling wood. Three engines have also
been put out of the running in these
collisions. These wrecks have also
caused delays in movement of freight
trains, but to-day schedules were al
so reported in good order.
Work at Altoona
During the summer. while there is
a slackness of new engine work in
the Juniata shops. at Altoona, the
employees of this department will dc

deal at first-class stores where they
can get the best. but are keen about
the square deal. 1t is spot cash and a
dollars worth for a dollar with them,
and the merchants who grasp this fact
early in The game will soon find them
selves selling clothing. shoes, books,
sporting goods and toilet articles to
the men and meats and groceries to the
troop mess In addition to the payroll
expenditures there are numerous ar
ticles and supplies purchased out of
the contingent appropriation, such as
household supplies for cleaning the
barracks and feed and forage for the
horses, which are vital factor in the
work of the State police and thought
much of by the men.
In an interview this morning. Cap
tain George F. Lumb. acting superin-
tendent. was asked how the new troop
was to be recruited and replied:
"I am not sure that 1 shall have the
honor of organizing the troop for Har-
risburg, but if l do I shall select the
most efficient and experienced men
among the officers and noncommis-
stoned officers of the four troops. This
will be a nucleus on which we expect
to build a troop that will be rnode
for the others to stimulate the men tc
even greater efficiency and value than
that to which they have already at
tained in Pennsylvania.
II hope the people of Harrisburg will
be as cordial to the men of Troop F
as they have to me and l am sure from
past experiences in other localities that
the men will respond to the treatment
and become a useful part of the life OF
the Capital City of the greatest State
in the Union"

NEW STATE POLICE
TROOP A MODEL
Will Be Located in Harrisburg
and Will Mean Much
to the City

Plans are now under way for the or
Hyanization of Troop f of the State
police force, which is to be located in
Il barracks near the State Arsenal as
.soon as the Department of Grounds
Glnd Buildings completes the barracks
and stables required by law for the
accommodation of the men and horses.
In addition to the fact that wher-
ever a troop of the State police are To-
Gated there is a noticeable absence of
n'owdyism and crime in the suburban
districts it should be remembered that
harrisburg will be benefited materially
an a financial way. The average
monthly payroll of a troop is $4,000
under the new BILL The men are well
dressed. self-respecting citizens and
when off duty like good company. clean
amusements and conduct their troop
mess in n way that compares favor
ably with the meals served at first
class hotels. They like to know the
hest people in the city where they are
located, for they see enough of the

WHAT MONTH WAS YOUR BABY
BORN?
II In January $500 Tax Exemption
POssible-OctOber Only $50

Washington born in 1918
will bring varying income tax ex-
emptions to their parents, depending
on the month of their birth. A child
born in January, 1918, gives 5000
exemption, in addition to the $4,000
allowed married persons, but if a
child was born in July the parent is
entitled to exemption of only 500
on the infants account. If the child
was born October the tax paying
parent is allowed only $50 exemption
or one-fourth of the 5000 normal ex-
'emption.
This new policy established for in
come taxes is explained by the inter
nal revenue bureau as follows:
IF you were entitled to any of the
foregoing exemptions $1,000 for a
single person, $4,000 for a married
person or head of family, and $500
additional for each dependent child
during part of the year only, you may
claim as many twelfths OF the eXemp-
tions stated as there were months in
such part of the year; any part of a
month may be counted as month" ."
This applies also to marriages
and divorce or death figures as in
exorably as marriages or births in
Icounting the income tax.
This is a reversal of last years
policy. Then the status of tax payer
on the last day Of the year deter
mined his personal exemptions.
Under another regulation of the
revenue bureau person living in one
community acting as the principal
support of person living elsewhere
may be considered the head of the
family and entitled to exemption OF
$4,000.

Every democratic free trader is a
free trader only in theory. He is for
free trade outside of his own consti-
tuency,. but otherwise he endorses
republican policies. Senator Hitch
cock, the democrat from Nebraska,
is a strong endorser of President
Wilson's free trade policy except as
it relates to potash. After the war
started and potash was needed for
the farmer extensive potash regions
were found in Nebraska and pro-
ftable- business built up. Now the
war is over, this country under the
present free trade law is liable to be
flooded with foreign potash. Senator
Hitchcock has listened to the appeal
from his constituents and is in favor
of protection for this industry. The
same system is found throughout the
south.

The Reserve Officers Training

sor of Military Science and Tactics
at Luther College.
Since January 4 the officers of the
college have been making prepar-

ceived telegraphic instructions from
the Committee on Education and
Special Training that they should
proceed with the organization of the
r. o. T. C. pending official notice and
the assignment of the Professor Of
Military Science and Tactics.
The Senior Division of the r. o.

TO REPEAL BLUE LAWS.
To Allow Open Sundays i'm Larger
Cities, Leave Local Decision i'm
Smaller Places

The Iowa senate voted on Monday
33 to 13 to repeal the blue laws now
on Iowa's statute books which theo-
retically establish the old fashioned
Connecticut Sunday to be the only
lawful Sabbath in the state. The re-
peal bill provides that theatres may
remain open on Sundays and ball
games and other public amusements
may flourish unmolested in all cities
of more than 5000 people. In towns
smaller than that figure city councils
may place an ordinance before the
people, who may decide by popular
vote whether the town is to be open
or closed. ;
The repeal of the blue laws has
been a question of discussion in
every session of the legislature for
years, but the proposition generally
dies and is resurrected again when
a new assembly meets. Well the blue
laws are not popular and they should
be wiped off the books of Iowa. This
is free country and the people in
general are going to keep it so. Iowa
can get along very well without those
antique laws, and We don't believe
there are very many people within
the borders of the state who want
to see them enforced.
