Strengthening of the river below
Reading would also be expensive.
The methods of flood control which
appear feasible are given in the re-
port as enlargement of the river
channel by excavation, construction
of concrete wall along the east
bank of the river, construction or
a levee along the east bank and a
com mbination of the three methods.
To Avoid F1y-The State Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a
warning to the farmers of the
State to avoid the Hessian fly in
the 1920 wheat crop, by sowing the
crop in the fly free period as given
by the State farm advisors and by
not sowing wheat on stubble. The
statement is made that community
action in measures is essential TO
success in combating the fly.
No Action Takcn-The State In
surance authorities have not taken
any action as yet in regard to the
differential in favor of the state

displays within the legal limits of
state road route are against the
law. The superintendent are to
commence forthwith to remove the
numerous signs, some of which are
declared by men who have been in
specting the highways to overhang
roads in some instances and to be
placed on poles and fences which
are owned by the State. Cards of
are included in many of those which
will have to be taken down.
a statement issued by the Depart
ment says:
Particular attention Is called by
the State Highway Department to
the erection in eastern Pennsyl-
Vania of advertising cards in imi-
tation of the Departments detour
signs. Complaints have been re-
ceived by the State Highway De-
partment to the effect that travellers
at night finding these imitation de-
tour signs at crossroads have been
mislead.
In many parts of Pennsylvania
candidates for office have been so
busy in posting their cards that in
numerous instances the entire
whitewashed surface of the pole,
Ola ICCI lIolll IIlp STOun0,
mas been hidden. Hotels have plac-
ed elaborate signs on poles within
the highway limits. One case is
reported where n hotel in q large
city In an adjoining state placed
enameled metal signs bearing the
word Danger" in places where no
danger at all existed. The erection
OF these and similar misleading
signs tends to make the traveller
careless, so that eventually he dis
regards real danger signs.
On one State Highway route an
enterprising proprietor of a rabbit
farm decorated highway poles for
several miles on both sides of his
establishment with signs calling the
attention of travellers to the location
of his "rabbitry."
For Flood ControI-A series of
suggestions for prevention of floods
at Reading prepared at the request
of the mayor of Reading was made
public to-day by the State Water
Supply Commission, suggesting
changes in the Schuylkill and other
streams and along banks which
would cost from 100000 to ST.
100000. Control by dams and re-
tarding basins is dismissed as i'm
practicable by the Commission
which states that some of the best
sites are occupied by railroads. The
Tulpehocken, which enters the
Schuylkill at Reading is stated to
be we'll adapted for dams, but it's
drainage area is not extensive and
it would be more valuable for water
storage for industrial purposes.

"A barrier of ignorance, race

isolation which formerly precluded

With the universal acceptance of

ITO facilitate the early realiza-

make these suggestions:
That the diplomatic, consular

Japan and America be selected from
men willing to give hearty co-opera-

THAT scholarships be established

THAT Japanese university gradu-

American universities for post

That trade and other commits

THAT the agency of the motion

Sherwood Finds He Is
Candidate After All

Paul ]. Sherwood, Wilkes Barre
lawyer, who withdrew as a candi-
date for judge of the Luzerne COM
mon pleas court against Judge John
M. Garman, on August Is, yester-
day found that his action was void
and that he was still a candidate.
Mr.. Sherwood, who had filed a petit
ton some time before the close of
the period for such papers to be
entered with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth, also developed an
ambition to be candidate for Dis
trict Attorney and in the middle of
the month filed a withdrawal as
candidate for judge. The State
Department accepted the withdraw
al under the act of July 8, 1919,
which allows candidates to with
draw to within fifty days of an
election. Since then Mr.. Sherwood
has decided to be a candidate for
judge and came here with George
II. Harris. of Wilkes-Barre, and
with William K. Myers. of this city,
as counsel, went to the State De-
partment and asked to withdraw
the withdrawal, claiming that it
should have been filed at another
time.
The State Department officials
referred the matter to First Deputy
Attorney General r. s. Gawthrop
who held that Sherwood should
have withdrawn under the nom
partisan election act amendment of
1919, which made August 8. the last
day and that as he filed the with
drawal on August Is it was of no
value.
The State Department immedi-
ately sent word to Wilkes Barre to
the Luzerne commissioners to print
Sherwood's name on the ballot. No
formal opinion was issued.

The theory that they are the
writings of European travellers of
many hundreds of years ago is held
by Oluf Opsjon, Il student of arch
eology, who resides at Dishman,
near this city. The same symbols
also discovered by Mr.. Opsjon, he
says, on big stone on the seashore
of Boston, Mass.
The painted rocks" are on the
west side of the Columbia River,
two miles north of Vantage Ferry.
Among the pictures are those of
two goats described by Mr.. Opsion
as part of an astronomical sym Dol.
He believes they were intended to
indicate the equinoxes.

"PAINTED ROCKS" TO BE

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 27. -
Whether painted symbols on the
rocky banks of the Columbia River,
in Klickitat county, Washington,
are Indian symbols or whether they
are the records of early Teutonic
explorers is to be submitted to ex-
perts of the bureau of Indian af-
fairs at Washington, d. c., for their
verdict.
That the pictures are fragments
of early history of the tribesmen of
the Pacific northwest is the belief of
w. S. Lewis, of this city, secretary
of the Eastern Washington Histori-
cal Society. He believes they are
25o years old.

out of my mind. / had almost sue
ceeded in doing so when l met him
by accident one day and the old
love came back; it was as strong as
ever.
"If he had only acted coldly to-
ward me perhaps l could have stop
ped caring for him. But he told
me again and again that he loved
me, and how miserable he was, and
that he had not the courage to break
off with the other girl.
II have seen him several times,
and each time he tells me that he
loves only me. 1t is drawing near
to his wedding day, and he is not
trying to help himself in the least.
Instead he gives me to understand
that, although he Is entering upon
a loveless marriage, he is trying to
bear his cross bravely He says that
1t would break the other girls heart
II. he should tell her.
But as 1 look at it, he is only
fooling her If he does not tell her,
and If it would break her heart to
know the truth, it will surely break
mine If he allows himself to drift
along this way.
ALREADY BrOken-Hearted'
Like every woman in similar
case, you fail to see why your heart
should not be labeled Fragile,
Handle with care!" as well as hers.
But, my dear child, assure you
that the other girl is the one to be
pitied; not because he is deceiving
her; but because she is going to
marry him and will have to spend
her life with such q lemon"
Please don't think me unsym-
pathetic or that 1 fail to realize
this is a real grief to you and one

day devoutedly thank your stars
for your lucky escape.
And why? Because If he is sim
cere in what he says to you he is
a poor, weak, vacillating creature.
His mind is fiabby and his heart is
mush. His sweet resignation does
not ring true, and he is bearing his
cross" too bravely to inspire conf
dence.'
If he were a real man, with will
and purpose, and with red blood in
his veins, he would have gone to the
girl he had asked to marry him and
have frankly told her the facts,
leaving the matter entirely in her
hands and permitting her to break
the engagement at any time and un-
der any circumstances she might
choose. 1t Is hardly to be supposed
she would want to marry a man who
had told her he loved another
woman.
But your resigned friend did
nothing of the kind, and the only
conclusion to be drawn from his ac-
tions, as you describe them, is that
he does not want his engagement
broken and never has had any in
tention of bringing about such a re-
suit. He probably finds you very
attractive girl and cannot resist the
temptation to make love to you, but
that is as far as he means the affair
to go.

Life'S Problems
Are Discussed

The eternal triangle" and it's
eternal variations and complica-
tions! 1t has been the mainstay,
the unfailing standby of story writ
ers of every age and cline since the
stone age.
In it's stark elements it resolves
itself into two propositions: One,
two women in love with one man;
the other, two men in love with one
woman. One would think that the
possibilities of both had been ex-
hausted long ago, that they had been
studied and presented from every
angle, and yet as a theme the "tri-
angle" is as fresh as in the days
of Homer.
And the reason for this is that 1t
is never a theoretical situation
evolved in a writer's brain. 1t is
new every hour. 1t is always being
written, because it is always being
lived.
The proposition which has been
sent to me is, the two women in
love with one man. The girl who
has written me the story of her side
of this triangle says that she is not
yet twenty years old.
She was living very happily in a
small town, which was her home,
until about year ago, when a
young man, who was just conval-
escing from a long illness, came to
visit friends of hers. She soon met
him and they became great
friends.
Finally after several weeks, the
time came when he had to return
to his work. On the last day, just
before he left he told her that he
loved her with all his heart, but
that he was engaged to another girl.
He said that he would make every
effort to free himself from this
engagement, and that she would
hear from him soon.
But 1 will let her tell her expert
ence in her own words. She writes:
II heard nothing from him, no
letter came, and I tried hard to for
get him. Finally 1 decided to go
to the city and take position, hop
ing that in this way could put him
