TRACTION HEAD GIVES
AWAY ALL over EXPENSES
Thomas Mitten Says Too Much Is
Bad-Wants Son To Have Pleas
ure OF Making Money, So Will Not
Leave Him Any.

Philadelphia March 5, (SpeciaD
Thomas Mitten, president OF the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
has established system for the non
accumulation of wealth that is prov
ing effective and one that other
wealthy men may adopt with equal
success, and one sure to be apprecl-
ated by those who might profit by
the scheme.
TOO much money" he says, lis a
bad thing. l have all the money L
need, but l like the battle in life, so
each year l play the game of life,
and when the year is ended l gave
away all the money that l have left
after paying expenses of the year. l
have no desire to pile up great
amount of money"
Get Idea From Banker
Mr.. Mitten said the idea of accum-
ulating just so much money ana
then giving all the surplus away was
suggested to him by his experience
with a New York banker. Nelson
Robinson. Mr.. Mitten, said he was
in close contract with the banker,
who followed a belief that it was
wrong to accumulate money after he
had enough TO take care of his needs.
Mr.. Robinson impressed him, Mr..
Mitten said by distributing and CIV
ing away money with no thought or
return.
Il watched the pleasure he got by
giving away money, and then ana
there | set a sum that | thought
would suffice me- Mr. Mitten said.
When I was 40 years old, 16
years ago l reached that mark, and
since that time, at the end of each
year l gave away all the money that
/ had left after paying my expenses
for the year. l enjoy the game OF
life. and l, therefore, continue to
work, but l do not care to pile up
wealth. December 81 of each year L
relieve myself of all the surplus.
Il do not wish to deprive my son,
Dr. A. A. Mitten, of any of the pleas
ures of life or of making money,
Therefore,, ! will not leave him any
when l die
Who Gets Ii, He Won't Say
Mr., Mitten refused to discuss the
manner in which he distributes his
money. but il is understood he pays
the men he employs in the Mitten
operating CCulpdng, " MIN AiN A'
formed, out of his, personal account
That procedure effectually consumes
much of his surplus each year.
Mr.. Mitten's custom was revealed
by him in speech he made to the
committeeman of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Cooperative Welfare
Association Wednesday night. He
cautioned the men against too much
money" and went on to explain how
he saved himself from the evil. He
is known as one of the hardest work
ers in the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit personnel, and the fact that he
has a staff of assistants capable OF
running the road does not prevent
him from rising at 4 o'clock in the
morning and going to his desk in the
Touraine Apartments, the company
headquarters.

Cut On Delaware Road And N. Y.
l.. And \. Announced.

Salisbury, Md, March 5.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad has made an
other reduction of approximately 10
per cent in its working force on the
Delaware division; also on the New
York. Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail-

since January l. The others were
about 10 per cent. in each instance.
The Delaware division in the last
cut makes another reduction in en-
plOyes at some of the large stations.
1t has abolished some of the yard
masters offices, the offices of the di-
vision engineer and division opera

ing force in the maintenance of way

All the retrenchment, it is said, is
brought about on account of slack
business.

 THE STRAND SUNDAY

In Marshall Neilan's production for First National, sDinty," which starts its engagement at the Strand Sunday, the motion picture devotees will see Wesley Barry in one of the most clever creations yet brought to the silent drama. Neilan wrote the story Barry. He chose the Chinatown of San Francisco as his background and introduces his miniature star as a newsboy of that district. The little freckle- faced tow headed youngster has growing ambition to be the suc- cess his mother wants him to be, md believes that If he could expand and form the newsboys' syndicate, with himself as the brains and guiding hand. his success is assured.

GLORIA SWANSON IN
 THE GREAT MOMENT !, AT R|ALTO SATURDAY

Tomorrow brings Gloria Swanson to the Rialto to start her engagement in Paramount's special production,
 The Gre-.t Moment" written by Eli nor Glyn for this beautiful star. The story is an intensely human love drama. unusual in it's plot. perfect in it's treatment, and unfolding a drama that gives Gloria Swanson the big gest role she has ever had since her advent into the silent drama. Elinor Glyn wrote the story especially for Gloria Swanson. she has adapted the story to the star rather than the star to the story, so that excellence in its highest expression is the result
 The central characters are a half gypsy girl and an American mining engineer. The girl, daughter of a British aristocrat who married a gypsy woman, has never known a mothers love. Her mother died st the girls birth. and the father has reared the daughter in the strictest seclusion, fearful lest the blood of the mother influence the life of the daughter On visit to America with her father she meets the man who is 10 play such an important part in her life. and in the ensuing chapters of the story Elinor Glyn has incorporat- ed the fire and daring of a love that defied convention. The climaxes are strong and dramatically perfect. The action is smooth but forcible, logical yet compelling and absorbing.
 The supporting cast is an excellent one and includes Milton Stills, Alec B. Frances, F. R. Butler, Arthur Hull, Helen Dunbar, Julia Faye and Anna Gregg. The Great Moment comes direct to the Rialto from it's record breaking five weeks run at Grau- mans Rialto in Los Angeles. and will be screened without advance in prices It will be augmented by q selected Mack Sennett comedy and the Hearst International news.

He offers to guide the police through the district, and thus is given the s.art to drama as full of excitement and thrills as it is possible to make a screen mar rative. Comedy, pathos, suspense and mystery are all strongly implant- ed in the tale, which for the most part was actually filmed in F'risco's Chinatown, and other sections of the city.
 The supporting cast is a notable one. including Colleen Moore, Pat O'Malley. Noah Beery. Kate Price Tom Gallery, J. Barney Sherry and Tom Wilson. On the same program the Strand will screen the motion pictures of the recent Republican kiddies day at Riverside park, offer ing the entire program without ad- vance in prices.

TIME NOW TO PLANT
FALL POTATO CROP

Not later than September 1st plant
a fall crop Of Irish potatoes, says
Professor w. L. Floyd of the Florida
Agricultural College. For seed use
small whole potatoes of the spring
crop. It is better TO sprout them by
exposing to light and air. which can
be done by placing them on moist
ground In a shaded place for two
weeks or more before planting. Plant
only those that show sprouts putting
out, because all potatoes will not
terminate readily. This accounts for
most poor stands of Irish potatoes.
The soil should be moist, well sup
piled with humus. broken deeply and
fortified literally with a fertilizer
about 4 per cent ammonia,
per cent phosphorus acid and per
cent potash. The potatoes should be
dropped further apart than spring POI
tatoes as they require much moisture
and October and November are often
dry months.
DO not expect as large yield as in
spring, but SO bushels from an acre
may reasonably. be expected This
will help materially in reducing the
high cost OF living when used at home
and the surplus will find ready sale
in the local market.
