This fact can be plainly seen in the monthly police records which show that during the past thirty days a total of 147 arrests were made on charges ranging from disorderly practice to involuntary manslaughter. The' records also show an increase of 68 arrests over the month of September, 1919, when a total of 79 persons were taken into custody on various charges. "ne of the most important arrests for the month was that of James S. King, a forger of nationwide reputation. This man, who has made thousands of dollars all over the country by his clever bogus schemes, was taken into custody by Detectives Carson and Alurnaqe after having fleeced a number of local merchants out of money and merchandise to the amount of $742.50.

The above detectives are commended for their aetiveness in the apprehension of this man, for it was less than an hour after King had committed the crimes, he was under arrest. It was also due to the work of these officers that all of the merchandise and most of the money was recovered and returned to the proper owners. "Detectives Carson and' Murnane are given credit for the arrests of Frank R. Curry, wanted in Pittsburgh, na charge of larceny; Viola Weber, of Mechanicsburg, charged with two counts of forgery on a local merchant; Albert Ross.J wa.ni.ea in Aiianiic City, j. charged with the theft of an automobile, and Daniel Urbach and Joseph McCain, charged with stealing a team from the Verbeke street market house.

In this arrest much credit is also given to Patrol Bathurst who contributed the services of his automobile ond assisted in the apprehension of Urbach and McCain at Coxestown less than an hour after the theft of the team had been reported to this bureau. "Credit for the arrest of Emmett Green, alias Joseph Martain, is given Detective Allison.

"In the arrest of William Johnson, colored, charged with highway robbery. Patrolman Dye is commended, for it was through his efforts that this man was taken into custody and indicted for one of the boldest holdups committed in this city for sometime.

"Special mention is given to Patrolmen Kineer and Anderson for the efficient manner in which they performed their duty during the past thirty days. "In conclusion the officers of the department desire to express their thanks to every member for their strict attention to duty and for the satisfactory way they performed their work during the month of September."

MAKE SURPLUS CROP INTO CIDER Apple Growers Notified by Foust Not to Pay Attention to False Reports Arrange with the gl'ocers or dealers in your vicinity to Handle your product. Then make all your surplus ap les into cider vinegar and assure yourself of a good profit and at the same time escape all danger of running afoul of the prohibition rulings of the Federal authorities. This is the word sent out to the farmers of Pennsylvania by Director James Foust of the Bureau of Foods, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, who is endeavoring to counteract the propaganda that has been spread about the State by the agents of large vinegar manufacturing firms, many of which are located outside the These representatives for some time past have been going up and down the State telling grocers and other dealers that if they handle cider vinegar made on the farm, they will likely run aroul of the pure food laws of the State, as the cider vinegar made on the farm, according to these agents, does not conform to the pure food statutes of Pennsylvania. Cider vinegar, made on the farm from pure apple juice and containing no added, water, drugs or acid, may be sold anywhere in the State.

The law specifically provides no standards as to acidity and solids for cider All the farmer has to do 'is to mark on the outside of the barrel or container, Vinegar," his name and add.ress. The agents for cider vinegar manufacturing, plants outside the State, knowing that there is an unusually heavy crop of apples this fall, are endeavoring to drive off the competition, which the farmers would offer. Pennsylvania imports vast amounts of cider vinegar each year. The farmer who' uses his surplus apples to make vinegar, will find a ready market for the product at a good price, will use up the fruit that would otherwise go to waste and at the same time will be in no danger of violating the Federal prohibition rulings. "If you were a cliild and you were left to morrow without a father, and mother and only enough insurance to pay the doctor and the undertake and a few months' rent, would it appeal to you to have your family broken up, you yourself placed in a Home with a capital or, if your mother could not" bear the thought of giving you up, how would you like to see her toiling away at the wash, tub so long and so hard that she had to neglect you with the result that you might get into Juvenile Court, play 'hookey' from school or if it was not so bad as that mother almost surely would not be able to earn enough to buy food and you might have to go hungry and ragged; or would you be more content if you knew that the State would, help mother to keep you in your home clean, cozy and warm until you children were old enough to work and carry the burden yourselves.

This is the way in which the State Supervisor of the Mothers' Assistance Fund, Miss Mary F. Bogue, explained the purpose of the Fund which the State has created in order that children whose fathers are dead or insane may be kept in their own homes under the care of their own mothers. The 1915 appropriation was the 1917 appropriation was the 1919 appropriation was $628,816.00. This when matched by the county made available $628,816.00 for each of the, two fiscal years and has enabled the forty eight counties now organized to give aid to 1,836 families including 6,600 children, which is the number now receiving assistance. The work can be done more cheaply in this way than by keeping the children in homes, Miss Bogue says.
