Some of the cars were insured and the insurance company had the various numbers on the car, so the representative of the insurance company, with the assistance of Officers Riley and Dixon, have been able to locate and recover 11 cars which will be returned to their owners. It is understood that the men who purchased the stolen cars will lose the amount of the purchase price, although they did not know that the cars were stolen.

McDanlel, aged 53, died at his home, 502 Modena street, Thursday at 5 p. m Thursday Rotary luncheon was the largest in point of attendance and the thost enthusiastic and interesting held in several weeks. The feature of the luncheon was a superb address by J. S. Miller, editor of The Charlotte News, who spoke of "The Plus Spirit of Rotary." The theme of Mr. Miller's speech wan that the true principle of Rotary as well as of Christianity was the doctrine of the second mile. "It is not enough to minister tq the needs of common charity and need, it is not enough to care for ^Aiunninf tfio needv | me erring, wic ucuu<iuvU., ? ? unci the destitute. That is our simple duty and obligation. Rotary would have us add the extra service, the second mile. Christ hot on3y washed the feet of the disciples who loved him, but he even ministered unto Peter who denied him, and unto Judas who betrayed him. It is the efctra service, the service over and above and beyond bur usual stint that counts." DAWES DENOUNCES. Federal Director Gives Another Example o* "Caseins" Ability. Presiding at the second business meeting of the government, President He rding announced that instead of a deficit In governmental finance* as forecast in December, there now were prospects of a surplus of receipts | over expenditures when the books are balanced at the end of next June. The president further announced it had been possible to reduce the government's expenditures from a scale base i on 14.500,060,000 a year to a scale of <3,974,000,000 ,and declared, ,"that even in its formative period the budget system had justified our most confident expectations." Brandishing a broom in either hand, striding rapidly from one end of the platform to the other and stamping his feet until the echoes rang in the D. A. R hall where the arms conferences meets in dignified session, C. O. Dawes, the director of the budget, brought home to more than & thousand officials assembled for the seccrhd business meeting of the government the appropriateness of Ms "hell and rnaria" nickname. For more than half an hour he poured forth criticism and praise afike on officials of high and low degree. Stopping suddenly in the midst of a fttntinn of instances of lack of coop eration by governmental departments with budget bureau coordinators, which instances he described as "fly specks" on the bureau's record of accomplishments, Mr, Dawes suddenly shouted: "Where are those brooms?" Three brooms were produced from under a table by an assistant. "There," the budget director exclaimed, pounding the floor with the handle of one of the brooms. "Is your broom that meets navy specifications. And here are brooms that don't meet those specifications, but sweep Just as well. The navy bought 18,000 of its specification brooms when it could have had 350,000 army brooms for nothing." The budget director went on to Bay it took a month's persuasion to make the marine corpB adopt a slight change In color in order to use 100,000 army shirts and save |24,000. He told Secretary Denby, however, the record of the navy for the cooperation tvith the bureau was the best of the departments. "Secretary Mellon is a business man," he added. "His fur didn't go up or his back arch when ray coordinators came in." I Legislative and executive head& of the government "determine how the ship sails," but the budget bureau "determines how far she sails," said M*\ Dawes at another point, and added: "If congress should decide that garbage should be spread on the White House steps?much as we love the president?it would be for the budget bureau to advise how the largest amount of garbage could be spread in the most economic manner." WATCH OUT FOR THEM Counterfeit Stamp Ha? Washington's Head Too snort. Counterfeits of the familiar two cent j postage stamps have appeared for the first time since 1895. One of the new counterfeits came into the hands of a local collector today, Bays a New York dispatch of Saturday. It is an enj graving?the first on record. Two I spurious Issues of twenty-seven years I ago were typographed. To the casual glance the new counI terfeit seems familiar enough, but comparative examination quickly ex! poses poor workmanship and reveals j many points of variance from the orij ginal. Washington's head, is shorter, the i^tose has a hook, the eyes seem to I glance furtively to the side instead of J straight ahead. The paper of the counterfeit is I cheaper and thinner and the perforj ations number 12 every two centi! meters instead of 11. ? Well., well; let's be content with propaganda.

Today has been a beautiful one from a weather standpoint in Chester, and ' it is believed by many that the groundhog; 9aw his shadow and according to > superstitions there will be about six weeks of bad weather, says a Chester ' dispatch of Thursday. j In this connection it is interesting ' to note the weather forecast for Feb- ! ruary, which has just been made by J. 1 Martin Grant, Chester county's weath- j er prophet. He predicts a minor storm j period from the 4th to 7th, central on J the 6th. ' Jupiter perturbations have J been In force for the last six months i and will continue for six months long.'?iv *. fc: ^ er. The greatest weather phenomenon of the Jupiter disturbance will be within "20 days before and 2Q days after his central date. Watch how the mercury periods are aggravated and prolonged that occur within 20 days before or after Jupiter central?about the 5th and 6th increasing cloudiness and much warmer with rain in places followed by colder weather, but not general; a major lunar storm period from the 8th to 13th, central on the 10th; moon in opposition to the sun on the 11th. That is nearest to the earth for the month and on tlic equator going south the 13th; a major disturbance of mercury, central on the 11th. Look for falling barometer and return to cloudiness and storms of rain, wind, Bleet and snow from the 8th to the 18th. The crisis of this period will fall Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the 10th, llth and 12th, notably on the 11th and 12th, followed by clearing and colder as the storm center passes east of your longitude. Look for a few days of fair weather; a minor storm period on the 16th to 17th; increasing cloudiness and probably rain followed by clearing and colde'r, on the 17th to 19th fair period; a lunar storm period from the 19th to 22nd, central on the 20th; a ihlnor disturbance of Venus on the 23th and moon at extreme south declination on the 20th.

Has Large Peach Orchard.?While it will be some three or four years, the outcome of the peach orchard of Mr James Land, of Chester, which is located near Lowryville, will be awaited with much interest. Mr. Land has set forty acres in peach trees, numbering in all 2,000. Going into an orchard on such a large Bcale is something new to Chester county and it is hoped that Mr, Land has set a precedent which will be followed by many others throughout the county. The peach crop in many sections o! the country is the main money crop and those familiar (with orchards $ay there is no reason | why this section should not be able tc produce peacheB as good as the best of them.-^Cheiter News.
