SNINDLER free,
IN DEATHS
GRIP

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Sept. 1O.--,A
physical and mental wreck, due
solely to his arrest as forger,
walter McCool. of Bucks county.
was freed in Montgomery county
court by Judge knight here because
1t was obvious that a, jail sentence
would, in his case, be a death
penalty.
McCool was literally carried into
court between attendants to face the
penalty for swindling the Glenside
Trust Company of $4,000 through a
check forgery. Arrested six months
ago, he was dapper, self-confident,
alert individual.

Driven to distraction by worry
over his predicament, he first be.

restored, became partially paralyzed
In the arms and legs-an affIiction
which physicians told the court
would be permanent.
Two doctors assigned by the
court described the mans condition
as ,neurotic, due solely to worrime1t
and imprisonment. Both declared
unequivocally that a prison term
would mean death to the prisoner.
Freeing him upon a pledge to
make restitution. Judge Knight
said:
Judge Holds Action
1T is written in book which
all of us should read more, that the
wages of sin is death. In this case
1t has very nearly come true. Also.
it Is written the way of the trans
gressor is hard. which is certainly
verified by this mans condition. No
conscientious judge could impose a
sentence in such a case as this
that would mean the defendants
death. If any one contemplating
crime could see this prisoner there
Is no question the sight would have
a deterrent effect"
The district attorneys office &C.
uuiesced in the mans release. and,
incidentally, District Attorney Rem
ninger is president of the bank which
McCool defrauded.

Traffic
SLIPPERY" WEATHER
BY WALTER P. cHRYsLER

Winter is on its way and UNI
brellas, heavy listers and raincoats,
boots and goloshes impede the pro-
gress Of the pedestrian. Pavements
will be slippery and mischievous
winds will snatch at hats and open
umbrellas. Extreme caution with an
appreciation of changing conditions
should be the watchword of both
motorist and pedestrian.
Rubber boots and overshoes, as
well as rubber tires will skid on
sleek, muddy asphalt. The pedes-
trian should remember to proceed
at all times with caution, ever on the
alert for the oncoming vehicle. He
should never blind himself with his
own umbrella or try to make a street
crossing when impeded by heavy
clothing.
The motorist on his part should
never neglect using chains when
necessary and seeing that his tires
have a good tread. Above all, he
should be awake to the discomforts
OF the PEDESTRIAN, especially in bad
weather when he is forced to cross
streets at the traffic change willy
nilly.
Winter clothing weighs anywhere
from five to ten pounds more than
summer clothing. A man in winter
often wears fifteen pound over
coat. Women carry heavy fur coats
on their backs. Goloshes, so neces-
sary in very bad weather when low
shoes expose silk clad ankles to both
wet and cold. weigh about eight
ounces a piece, summer weight.
Winter golosfes are even heavier.
Add fright, and haste to excess
weight and unsure footing and you
have all fthe elements which go
to make up an accident.
Give extra warning in rounding
corners, and at crossings, and pro-
,eed with lessened speed.

aging experience of sending dress
suit or coat to a, dry cleaner only to
have 1t returned as cleaned" but
unfit to- wear. It may be badly
shrunk or the stains still remain and
new ones have appeared. Sometimes
an extended airing is necessary to
remove the odor of gasoline. 1t is
not always with q feeling of conf
dence that we send fayorite frock

not tested. However, reliability, rea-
sonable charge and expert work have

the latest machinery so that they

ing in the most satisfactory manner.
Every garment left with them is
given their best attention and this
fact has caused them to build re-
putation that covers a wide territory.
No work Is too difficult for them to
handle and they make a speciality of
ladies' garments, while they also
have a list of men for whom they do
work that includes persons who
realize that proper cleaning of suits
will mean longer life in addition to
better appearing garments.
For the month Of December they
offer a 5000 reduction on mems suits,
