MIKE INFERS WORK
SAYS HEALTH OFFICER
Raunick Declares There Will Then
Be No Problem of Hous
ing Vagrants
Vagrants who apply to the city for
loding should be made to work for
their keep Dr. J. M. J. Raunick. city
health officer, this morning declared in
speaking of the problem of housing the
many homeless men who recently
have come to the police station for
lodging.
Dr. Raunick's attention was recent
ly called to the fact that from fifteen
to twenty-five men have been sleeping
in two small detention cells at the
police station and he investigated the
matter to see if health laws were not
being disregarded in allowing so many
men to sleep in so small ;i space.
Speaking of his investigations Dr. Rau
nick said:
"I do not think that the city should
use those two small rooms to house a
crowd of men who are permanent
loafers and beggars. It is unsanitary
for the men ami unfair to the people
of the city. Make the vagrants work
for their keep, and in a short time they
will not trouble the city."
That the city should provide a.
lodginghouse for homeess men. is
the opinion of Miss Hazel Clark, secre
tary of the Associated Charities. She
thinks the city should make vagrants
work to pay for their lodging. She
said if this plan were adopted Har
risburg would be carefully avoided by
wanderers.
Other cities that use this method
to overcome the trouble of applicants
for free lodging do not have one-sixth
ias many homeless men according to
[statistics which Miss Clark gave.
PHYSICIANS COV!*CII. TO MEET
The council of the Dauphin County
Medical Society will meet In the Har
risburg Academy of Medicine to-night
at S:3O o'clock.
STRANGE CHINESE PUNISHMENT
On July 7. in the prefectorial city
of Liuchowfu In the province of
Kwangsi. South China, three men, ac
cused of crime, were stripped half
naked, then dragged along the narrow
streets, through the city gate to a
place outside the city wall, where they
were thrown into burning pits, and
after suffering indescribable agony in
the flames, were riddled with bullets,
and then covered with earth. The
crime charged against them was the
murder of four soldiers, who the offi
cers claim were suppressing gambling
in the country districts when they
were killed by a mob. The report
current among the people was that
these soldiers became involved in a
quarrel, and three of them were kil
led in the melee that followed. After
! the execution, orders were issued that
the entire village should be destroyed.
Soldiers went from house to house
and arrested as many men as they
could find, and then set fire to the
village.' The prisoners were brought
to the city for punishment, and nine
of them were led outside the city
wall and shot on the execution
ground.
That this is an isolated case of
cruelty we are glad to believe for if in
; the name of law the Chinese officials
are going to resort t" the barbarities
practiced in the Middle Ages, it will
bring the name of the new republic
into disgrace, and put far distant the
i day when claim can be made to civll
'izatidn.—The Christian Herald.

FOR SPECIAL WORK
Dull Times on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Permits Work on
Physical Valuation
In one instance the dull season on
the Pennsylvania railroad has been
a benefit. Clerks who have had little
to do. in keeping up with the daily
business, have been digging after facta
rnd figures for the physical valuation
reports.
In_ computing the values to be sent
to Washington. D. C., not one item of
expense incurred each year is over
looked. Valuation of supplies used in
every department will be a factor in
telling to the I'nlted States Govern
ment officials what the Pennsylvania
system is worth.
While the clerks are busy, survey
ors and engineers are working along
the various divisions measuring up
distances and making a record of ties,
tracks, switches, etc. All reports are
sent to the Physical Valuation l>e- !
pnrtment at Philadelphia. The head
of this department is C. A. Preston,
former superintendent of the middle
division.

MOTHERS Oil POLICE?
; Five million dollars in one year is
j the income that pensioned mothers in
[nineteen States will receive this year,
under the system of which Judge
Henry Neil is the father. This sys
tem is simple: A mother's business ,
is to take care of her own children in '
her own home. If the husband and 1
father dies, is ill or deserts and leaves I
the wife and children dependent, they
must have three meals a day, shelter,
clothing, schooling, and hope of pro- |
gress. The old way was to force the I
mother to go out to do work for the j
children of some other mother. Her j
own children were placed in asylums. |
poorhouse and other institutions.
Now money formerly paid to asylums. |
hospitals, jails and other institutions j
goes to the mother as a pension. It
is a beautiful thing to help distressed i
mothers maintain their homes. It' Is I
contrary to the very law of our na- !
ture to separate a mother and her I
children. God loves the family. "A
father of the fatherless, and a judge i
of the windows, is God In his holy j
habitation." (Ps. 68: 5.) —The Christ-j
ian Herald.
STRANGEST I'RVIT EVER GROWN |
About 800,000 starving Belgians j

I lied in families their sufferings would !
be less. But that is not the case. Aj
correspondent of the Globe (London) j
writes of seeing the refuges standing!
gazing at trees on the roadside. When '
he went near he found that on the 1
tree slips of paper were nailed, which j
read as follows: "Pierre .your wife I

SAVING THE ORIGINAL "STAR
SPANGLED BANNER" ,
After several months of constant 1
work of a most delicate character, 1
the powder-burned, bullet-scarred '
"Star-Spangled Banner," which float- 1
ed above Fort McHenry a hundred
years ago when the British fleet was 1
repulsed while attempting to reach '
Baltimore, has been preserved for '
posterity. The faded and tattered 1
remnants of the flag during the sum- '
tner were subjected to a process of j
restoration, which it is believed will !
prevent further disintegration of the
fabric. In an illustrated article the:
December Popular Mechanic Maga- |
zine says: j
"The work of preservation was ac- ■'
complished by backing the banner | j
with specially woven Irish linen. The i
flag was basted to this, care being '
taken that not a single thread should 1
be stretched too tightly, after which ;
the flnal sewing required weeks of
time to complete, and took the ser- 1
vices of more than a dozen needle
workers. Linen thread, dyed to
match the different colors, was used
in stitching the banner to its rein
forcement, the work being done so
closely that it now gives the flag a
honeycombed appearance over its en
tire surface. It Is estimated that more
than a million and a half stitches were
taken. No attempt was made to
