Completed or in process of completion. THE ZONING BILL gratifying to note the is gran; vl sition of up promi IS promptly the legislators to tako the question of au thorizing the three dozen cities of the third class to zone their terri tory as to character of buildings and industries. The subject Is one which has agitated almost every city owning to invasion of residential dis frifts liv mihiio caraces. factories and plants entirely out of place in the midst of homes and against all the ideas of civic improvement which have taken such firm hold upon Pennsylvania in urban communities. Senator A.

D. McDade, of Delaware4 county, who presented the third class city bill favored by the State Chamber of Commerce, is willing to consider suggestions from the proposed uniform zoning bill drafted by the committee named by Herbert C. Hoover, which will prob ably make its appearance in the Housed The bill giving third class cities zoning rights made good progress last session, but the difficulty was everyone interested did not get behind it until too late. Thisyear people who advocate such legislation and those affected by it have been in conference and there are high hopes of action. There is no question of necessity, only the best way to go about it.

The York motorists have formed an organization to erect an exposition building with 60,000 square feet of floor space and this proposed hall will also be for shows end other This is the plan that is under 'consideration by the Automobile Dealers' Association of Harris tiurg and there is still hope that the energetic businessmen of this association will give this the. great exposition hall which Jo greatly needs. KEEPING CLOSE TABS IF AXY mere man imagined the organized women voters of Pennsylvania were likely, to become indifferent to their responsibilities as Hedged citizens, such a one ought to peek into the State headquarters of the League of Women Voters in this city and be quickly disillusioned. Nowhere in political and good government circles la there to be found a more practical demonstration of sane cf Xort in furtherance of important reforms of the Plnchot administration and the" definite purposes of the new voters. "'lv' How are the women going about 'it? Listen.

At least once a week there is submitted to the headquarters a complete and acr curate summary of the doings of the Legislature. Not a move escapes the eyes of the capable women who are on the firing line. Committees study? these reports from Capitol Hill and the county units are then advised of any necessary action re Rpectingr their representatives In the Senate and House. This liaison assures prompt connection between the forces at home and their lawmaking representatives. No time is lost "nor Is there any temporizing.

A telegram to the home sector, for TUESDAY EVENING, women of jury service. And so with other measures. Manifestly, the women are not anxious to uo relieved of jury duty and there Is a suspicion In their minds that there Is not so much consideration for their sex as there is a purpose to curtail their lights as citizens. Governor Plnchot is. going to have steady and consistent support from this quarter, and while the League of Women Voters is anon pnrtlsan organization it is functioning In a way that threatens the pull of the small caliber politicians of all parties who havo not yet been able to get through their crauiums realization of the change over the Commonwealth in these latter days.

Procrastination on the part of the city in accept Ins the tender of property owners of the parkway strip along: raxton creek between Kelly and Maclay streets and its result is another illustration of the danger of delay in public improvement matters. Without discussing the merits of the present proposal to take back the tender of this, land the situation demonstrates the futility of putting off offlolat action in such cases. JEFFERSON'S EPITAPH man give? ERE lies buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independ ence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and. Father of the University of This was the epitaph written by the man who was twice I esident of the United That incident in his career appeared as nothing when looked at through the eyes of the generations to come. Jefferson considered his great services to his generation and to posterity to lie in three things, enumerated in his epl itanh.

These were the things that he knew would endure. A man may achieve success in politics or in business, and may even become President of the United States, and still be a person of moderate abilities and devoid of great alms and far reaching aspirations. Hut ho who fathers an institution of learning is like one who plants ia sapling elm. Such a man establishes for all time his wisdom and foresight, lie signals to all the world the immense importance of education in a democracy. Jefferson not only founded the University of Virginia, but he founded it along educational lines that were far in advance of his inmo ThA Kiir ppKs of his venture is all tho more striking because he was not able to endow the young unlver isity with funds.

All. he could give it was a great idea. And what greater gift can any Secretary of "the Treasury Mellon is not the type of American who is easily deceived by camouflage and more or less transparent propaganda. He is earnestly opposed to a Government loan to Germany for the purpose of enabling that country to establish credits here. He doesn't see any reason for giving Germany morel favorable treatment than the other nations of Europe with which we were formerly allied.

Of course not. Nor docs he believe in placing a debt of a billion more on the taxpayers of the United States to help the fool nation responsible for a large part of that burden. When Germany gets ready to eome down from her high horse she will probably get all the help that is heeded and not Devastated France was the result of the Hun invasion, but the devastated Capitol Park. is something different. It is hoped that it.

may yet be possible during the next two years and pending a readjustment of the State's finances to plant the trees that are needed to replace those re moved and do the necessary grading and seeding. Governor Piucjiot is in sympathy with tho whole plan of improvement, but is naturally hesitant about authorizing the necessary expenditures at this time. It. seems too bad, however, to lose more time on the planting and reforestation features. There can be nothing, more important for the consideration of the Legislature than the zoning measure for cities of the third class, especially as the" cities of the other two classes already have such regulations.

Old Europe is now undoing what was done generations ago in the matter of building construction andthls country should not impose upon the generations to come the tremendous financial' burdens which inevitably would follow improper street and building lines. It would seen: that now is a good time for the newspaper, Harrjs burg to sell this city to the world. Ttieive is much here to sVli' and newspapers "may not always agree upon pulitical and other policies they certainly ought to be able to join hands In furthering' the important interests, of a community that holds an enduring place, the appreciation of all that is worth in Pennsylvania. Apropos of the St hnntz bill to re lieve women of jury duty, it Is re ported mat one woman lur.ita elejn men from a threatened acquittal, to conviction in a certain court recently. Might it be possible that the busy bootlegger wants women out of the jury box? Xo belter public service is being rendered, the State, Chamber of Commerce than through its issue of weekly bulletins giving the status various measures introduced in the Legislature.

This activity Is in line with the United States Chamber of Commerce am? Is much appreciated by its members. Abraham Lincoln has since Joined. the Immortals, but his influ ence upon "world grows more By the Ex Coramitteeman It does not appear there will bo much of the legislation recommend ed by the State Reorganization Com mission taken up by tho Plnchot ad ministration. The Governor has Indicated his own committee has been giving extended study to ques tlons of changing methods and practices of tho various branches of the government and thnt he favors the plan of allowing the Executive to work out new systems and try them for two years at least. Members of the Reorganization Commission have thus far submitted only a few of their ideas in the form of bills to legislators, the great bulk of the measures) recommended after the year of work being held pending the conference of Chairman George Woodward and his committee with the Governor a week hence.

The administration reorganization legislation is expected to be ready in a week, but before it in the Governor and Senator Woodward will talk things over. One of the striking features of the new legislation submitted in the General Assembly last night was the number of local appropriation bills. in tne benato probably a dozen were following the lines of last seion, although the budgets appropriation bill contains the lump sum appropriation for such charitable institutions. Administration people regard such measures as casting of anchors to windward in event anything happens to the budget plan. However, they regard the ideas as certain "to be enacted in the appropriation measure.

The fact that tho enforcement bill wipes out the license system and ths estimate of the revenues con income from such licenses catirfcd some figuring among legislators to day. They calculated it would take over a million dollars nnd were casting about where to timl it. Senator William S. Vare returned to the Senate yesterday after a short trip to Florida and Senator W. I.

Stineman, Canibria, left to day for Miami to spend three weeks. Senators M. tl. Leslie and George Woodward are absent because of illness. The Penal Code bill has been sent to a sub committee of the Judiciary General Committee composed of Senators MacDade, Long, ISuck man, Stites and Schautz.

The Senate last night confirmed the appointments of Dr. Charles II. Miner, Wilkes Darre, as Commis sioner of Health, and T. R. Moffatt as alderman of the Seventeenth ward of Bethlehem.

Members of the legislature were 'Inclined to be reticent about the recess proposition last night, but there was more talk about it to day. One House member was heard to day say the Senate might take a recess if it saw tit, but the House would stay and work, especially after Governor Plnchot had. re markedas far as he was concerned he was going to stick to the job. Governor Tinchot plans to to the Legislature a constitu tional amendment, establishing the.i budget system for the State government 'when 'he introduces the creating the' budget, How in course I of preparation and possibly ready next week. The Governor sent a budget to'tho Legislature in accord with his campaign pledges and the budget bill would establish the budget bureau in the office of the Secretary the Commonwealth and provide ways for compiling the data tor the budget so that it would be ready in abundant time before the Legislature meets.

It would also bring, in the uniform accounting system. "The" advantage of a constitutional amendment," said the Governor "would be to make it a part of the organic law as was discussed when the Constitutional He, vision Commission was? in session. If the amendment went in. this session and was passed it would have to pass in 1925 and then go to the people the next year?" )e When asked, if a constitutional convention proposal had reached him the Governor said: "That has not come up yet." John II. Williams, the printing expert, said the Governor, is here continuing the work be did for the Citizens' Committee, which consists of standardizing the printing and getting the State's printing business into the lines laid down in his report to the committee.

Both fife' Governor and Auditor General have their own opinions as to making' up appropriation bills and that Is as far as things go. They left the second floor in the same elevator after the talk.

It seems one of the young women at: the Boas school cross examined a girl as to the interminable blank spaces oh a health card. The conversation, as reported by the Heir, was about as 'follows: Th Teacher What, have you to say regards these blank spaces? The Pupil I caji keep away from coffee. Teacher Tou can't keep away 'from what? The Pupil I can't keep away from coffee.

Teacher Well, you better start to try to keep away trom tjoffee. 'i "And that girl," says the Heir, "I bet you she. Isn't ten years: old. What d'ye know about that? Ana she can't keep from Heyl What d'ye know about We can Imagine the horror which. must veritably have froten the pupils immobile lh' their places.

Ten years old! A coffee. fiend! We recall a similar feeling when, many years ago In Miss Lucy Young's class In the Hollldaysburg public schools. th told of the evil fate befalling those who looked upon the1 wlie when It was red. Cola chills and' down score of spines as the tad end of alcoholics Was depicted vividly. Two score pitying eye were turned upon the town drunk 1 MR.

A long while afterward we got to know the town drunkard and he turned out to be a harmless old lad who injured none but himself. Finally he got religion, lost his beautiful pink complexion and today reels along the. rialto the same as always because he has rheumatism. The Heir Is not likely to retain his present horror of coffee and its evil effects. Many of those who heard Miss Lucy Young's diatribes against alcohol forgot lectures eventually; and in time touched, tasted and handled The Demon Hum.

When the Heir related the sad case' of the Infant coffee fiend we' recalled the Saturday afternoons In Hat boro, before the Hollldaysburg period, when our maternal ancestor bade us don our Sunday "clothes including the stiff' white collar, and betake ourselves to the meeting of the Loyal Legion. Those were temperance meetings: At the conclusion of each meeting tho assembled multitude, one by one, placed a penny on the iron gun of, an iron soldier, pressed a spring and saw the penny disappear forever in an iron bank. The Demon Rum was the object of derision at these meetings. Time effaces memories, however, and years afterward convlvlalists who had been Loyal Legionists sang 'throatedly "Down With Kins Alcohol" and downed him repeatedly. The "fears of childhood are "silly bogies ultimately; and those who shuddered at the terrible fate of drunkard tested and found altogether wrong the theory that five drinks of absinthe in succession will create a new fiend for the liqueur which tastes so'ntuch like paregoric.

Tlw Invasion of the Ruhr the Philadelphia North American.

So clamorous have been the sympathizers with defaulting Germany and the traducers Of France and Belgium that, not a few Americans are unaware of the existence of opinion on the other side of the question. The American Defense Society, for exaiflple, recently deplored "the affront offered our late "ally in the time selected to withdraw our troops from the Rhine." Major General Ryan, leader of tlie famous Twenty seventh division, declared' last week: basic fact is that the war was a German conspiracy against civilization. The. casualties, suffering and havoc that followed were the direct results of deliberate planning and actions of, the German people. If they for the next thousand years made slaves of themselves in an attempt to make good the results, of 'their, barbarism, they could not succeed.

"Germany," A. M. Owsley, commander of the Arn erlcan Legion, "must fulllll her reparations obligations. The French t6 day are fighting America's battles as they fought them during the first two years of the war; It we must take a side, I say take the side we took in the war. I announce that the heart and hand of the American Legion remain 'with the French republic." Kspecially meniorablo was the stirring speech made in repiy to jar.

uwen ny senator lavld A. IteoJ, of Pennsylvania: Why this sudden" outburst of maudlin "sympathy for one dt these two nations? Why was it that in 1911 there was not a similar outburst in favor of the. Belgians? Their country was invaded in direct violation of a treaty to which we wei'e a party, yet we did not raise our Voice In their behalf. Northern' Franco was devastated, its churches, homes, fields laid waste, but somehow our sympathy did not brsak Into words the way it been doing recently for Germany. When our German friends, vwlth Whom we were at peace, torpedoed the Lusi tania we managed to stay then why iu God's name can we not stay neutral to day, when retribution is coming to the murderers? What is it that drags us to the front now to protest because fermany has to pay what she promised to pay? think I am speaking as the nim who fdught In France would speak if they were.

here; as the men 1 who died In France would speak If they could utter their thought to day. We are forgetting our own dead we talk of protesting because France has for the repafatlpnsVdebt. Wo need not show pro French sympathy if for any reason we prefer not. but for God's' sake let us not" i sympathize with the criminal aggressor But alas! we fear oar witnesses are discredited. All of thorn are soldiers; they suffer disability, from which Senators pwen and Borah are free, of having worn the American of having fought for American Ideals of justice; Irt a word, they are mlii tarlsts, or at least they have primitive prejudices about honor and Ibyalty which, prevent their understanding that Germany is a victim, of Franco Belgian aggrewlon and rapacity.

Senator Owen and Senator' Borah and those who agree with them doubtless feel gratified 'over their position thus far, but, a task still more Inspiring awaits' them. It is, announced lrom Berlin that Germany is preparing a claim for indemnity from France and Bel glum on account of their "premeditated violation of treaties and crass lnfrlhsemetit' of ltiternational codes," Let the Senators husband their resources of eloquence until this case calls for American championship. Then they will 'have a cause which we' declare in all sincerity wllU to, worthy of their ulents. their sense of humanity and their conception of Justice.
