 New Banking system
 The new saving and banking sys- tenn was inaugurated in the public schools about year ago following inc disseminating of war saving stamps. During the war all children were taught to save pennies for war savings certificates to help the gov crnmcnt.
 When the war saving stamps were a thing of the past the local teachers and Superintendent Showalter discus sed the proposition confronting them and it was decided to start the saving account. After a child has one dol lar in the school account, it is trans fcrred to a book bearing his name at tSe Berlin Savings bank.

Atlantic City, N. J.. March B. Mosquitoes inhabiting the state of New Jersey have been slandered They have been held up to obloquy as carnverous monsters, tnsatiate in their pursuit of prey and :nsensiblc of the better things of life. but Thomas U. Headlee, state cntomolo- eist, says these charges are at var lance with the facts.
 This noted authority declares the New Jersey swamp Angel is an epi- cure. Hc picks and chooses with the discrimination of a Roman senator and humans and animals not pos sessing the proper flavor arc avoided rcligiously.
 Dr. Hcadlee, who has been here to attend the annual convention of the mosquito cXtermination commissloni is of the opinion that insects injecting each swamp or breeding place, have their own weaknesses, and he pro poses that volunteers of the lean and fat persuasions be enlisted to collate in Il scientific manner lntormalon relative to the tastes of tho pests

PRETTY QUEER BUSINESS

THE more that is disclosed about the
L manipulation of checks by John A. Bell.
of the Carnegie Trust Company Of PittS-
burgh. and Harmon VI. Kephart. former
State Treasurer, the more astounding the
transaction becomes.
II will be recalled that when the Treas
urer Of Allegheny County sent checks for
State taxes to Mr.. Kcphart. the indorscd
checks were exchanged with Mr. Bell for
checks signed in blank The blank checks
were not filled ont and deposited 10 the
credit OF the State for months afterward.
The money in the meantime remained in Mr..
Bells bank.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars were in
volvcd. II has just been shown what be-
came Of SlI9.000.O5. the amount of one Of
the checks drawn by the Allegheny County
Treasurer to the order of the State. After
II had been indors"d and after Mr.. E"ll had
gwen MIR. Nenhart Il lot of checks signed in
blank. SlGO,0 600 Of the sum was transferred
from tho account Of Allegheny County on
the books of tho bank to the bond account
OF coal company one third of which j.
owned by Mr.. Bell. and the balance. after
being for five days in the account "f Il pipe
and cordagc company, was applied to not"
by company of brokers which Mr. Bell
had assumed
Mr.. Bell explains that he knew nothing
about this. but that it was done hy the
treasurer Of the bank. But the fact that
1t was done at all puts every one who had
any connection with III" matter on the de
fensivr.
To say that the State will lose nothing
by it, as the interest which III" State los;
BY the whole series of blank check tranSac-
tions will be paid does not excuse any one.
1t is rather an accusation against the men
responsible for the irregular manipulation
OF state funds. And it suggests the peril
nent query whether any offer 10 pay tn"
interest would have been mad" if the facts
had not been disclosed by Auditor General
