J. Horace McFarland Says He Is
Ashamed of Condition of Trees in
Harrisburg—Ail the Old Officers
Are Re-elected
Members of the Harrisburg Muuici
pal League, in their thirteenth annual
session in the Chamber of Commerce
quarters in the KunkeP building, las:
night, reviewed the municipal improve
ments made in Harrisburg within the
last ten or-more years; suggested 'he
abolition oi the smoke nuisance and en
dorsed the suggestion recently made to
the l ity Commissioners in which the
appointment of a commission for the
caring ot' the city's shade trees was
advocated. There is now pending be
fore the City Commissioners au ordi
nance providing for the creation of the
post of city forester at a salary of
SI,OOO, which, if passed, it is under
stood, would result in the city not avail
ing itself of the legal right to a Shade
Tree Commission.
Mayor Rova! and Commissioners
Bowman, Gorgas, Lyneh and Tavlor
were guests of the League at the meet
ing. All the old officers were re-ciectcd
for auotl\pr term, as follows: Presi
<ient. Vance C. MeCorniick; vice presi
dents, K Wallower and Henderson
Gilbert: secretary, J. Horace McFar
land; ;reisurer, j. Austin Brandt.
Half a dozen speakers confined their
remarks to the improvements already
made :• m. 1 those in progress in this citv,
and .1. V. \V. Keynders. vice president
ot' the Pennsylvania Steei Company
and a member of the iUeelton Council,

in thai borough.
UEberjsr Favors Commission
Among the League members who ad
vocated creating a tree commission in
Harrisburg was Benjamin F. I'nvberser,
formerly president of the old Select
Council and now a member of the Cit\
Planning Commission. He compared
such a plan to the tentative plans hi I
by the old Cotincilmanic bodies at the
time the question of paving streets on
Allison Hill was originally discussed.
Like the paving work, he said, the
people mav not be unanimously in fa
vor of the tree commission, but it w;ll
be a matter of only a short time, he
insisted, until they would be clamoring
for it. -1. Horace McFarland, with lat
tern sli les, pictured to his audience iu?t
how Harrisburg V so-called shade trees
are being butchered annually by "in
competent trimmers.''
"As president of the American Civic
Association I have been laughed at be
cause of the terrible tree conditions in
Harrisburg until I am ashamed," Mr.
McFarland said.
"A tree authority told me some time
ago that there is not a healthy tree in
the city. We Yriut our trees here to f.?
the telegraph poles and there are many
butchers who think that they can im
prove on nature in the shape oft shade
trees. Others we leave to rot and
die. We certainly like trees, but we
seem to like them Head.
As to Forester's Salary
"There is no serious objection to *he
appointment of a city forester under
the bill now before Council, but whv
experiment? The forester should work
uniler the direction of a regularly-ap
pointed commission. Under the SI,OOO
salary limit in the bill a broad and com
petent expert could not be obtain?!."
Mr. McFarland touched on the
smoke nuisance and said that it is ob
vious that the city must soon undertake
to combat the clouds of black smoke
pouring out from railroad and factory
chimneys.
Mr. McFarland spoke of the many

OYEFIAND BAND UNO GLEE
CLUB IN BENEFIT CONCERT
Their Services Offered by President
Willys at Entertainment Which
Netted $4,000 for Relief of Women
and Children in Belgium
The appeal of Brand Whitloek, Min
ister to Belgium and former Mayor of
Toledo, in behalf of the women, chil
dren and other non-combatants 111 Bel
gium, found instant and substantial re
sponse in his home city. The Commerce
Club immediately started a benefit
mo\ement known as Whitloek Belgian
Relief Fund.
John X. Willys, president of the
Willvs-Overlnnd Company, who was ap
pointed chairman of tjie committee to
ra.se funds, offered the services of the
Overland Concert Band and the Over
land tilpe Club for a benefit concert.
Between $3,500 and 54,000 was raised
at the concert which was given last
Tuesday evening in Toledo, when the
Overland organizations were assisted by
Mrs. Albro Blodgett, soloist. A huge
audience tilled the theatre in which the
concert was given, the boxes having
been auctioned off at big prices. In
addition to the money netted by the
sale of seats, a number of donations
were recevied from Overland dealers
throughout the country, who proved
their sympathy with the cause by sub
stantial contributions.
The Overland Band has the' reputa
tion of being one of the best industrial
organizations of its kind in the coun
try. It was organized five years ago bv
Mr. Willys for the purpose of provid
ing entertainment at various Overland
functions throughout the year. It is
one of tto> most prominent features in
the movements continually being made
by Mr. Willys to make life more worth
the living for his employes. It has per
formed for a number of public benefits,
the latest of which is the one for the
relief of the Belgians.
To show his appreciation of the
band s efforts, Mr. illys sent its

members on two transcontinental con
cert tours, in the course of which they
played before audiences aggregating
half n million people. The band is un
der the leadership of Herr Gustav
Koehler. who lias a national reputation
as a director.
The Overland Glee Club, composed
of 75 male voices, is well known
throughout Ohio as a musical organiza
tion of much merit. The members of
both the band and glee club are em
ployes of the big Overland factory and
maintain a strict amateur standing by
refusing to accept extra remuneration
for their services as musicians.

INITIAL SALE
WAS U. S. STEEL
After First Fifteen Minutes Trading
Lapsed Into Extreme Dullness,
With Mixture of Gains and Losses
—St. Paul Largest Single Deal
By Aitociated Press.
New York, Nov. 28.—The New York
Stock Exchange resumed operations in
a tentative way to day for the first
time since July 30 last, when the for
eign situation, alroady tense, caused
the cessation of business of all the
leading financial market* of the world.
Trading was restricted to bonds for
which, in all issues, minimum pricee
were ostablisiied.
All transactions were for cash and
every effort was utade to exclude for
eign selling. The attendance on the
floor of the Exchange when the gong
sounded at 10 o'clock was unusually
large. The sound brought cheers from
the brokers. Thereafter business went
on in th» usual orderly fashion.
Little Business at Outset
There was little business at the out
set of the session. The first transac
tion recorded was the sale of five bonds
of the U. S. Steel Corporation at 99 3-4,
a decline of 1 1-4 from the closing price
of July 30. The next transaction was
j the sale of five bonds of distillers se
curities 5s at 36, an advance of 3 1-2.
Then followed the sale of a single
Chesapeake and Ohio bond at a decline
of 1-1-2 with later offerings of small
amounts of such issues as Southern /*a
cific convertibles, Ray Consolidated S's,
St. Paul General Mortgage 4 l-2s and
Northern Pacific 4s. These showed de
clines ranging from a substantial frac
tion in Southern Pacific to 3 7-8 points
in Hay Consolidated. There wore oth
er sales of Steel and Distillers aud the
| issues already .named at declines from
: the first recor.i<ed prices. The total
amount of business for the first fifteen
I minutes of the session was $123,000
par value.
Largest Single Transaction
The largest single transaction was
! the sale of twenty St. Paul general
j mortgages 4 1-2 S at 3 decline of 2 1-4.
| After the first fifteen minutes trad
ing lapsed into extreme dullness, with
a mixture of gains and losses. St. Paul
convertibles 4 l-2s were up 1 1-2 while
Southern Pacific convertibles 4s gained
3-4 and Central Leather 5s rose 1-2
per cent. U. S. Government issues bid
j prices were down 1 to 2 points, with
an actuul stile of registered 4s a de
! dine of 1 3-4.
i Selling pressure about which there
' has been so much apprehension did not
appear .luring the first hour, much to
i the satisfaction of the financial dis
trict. Instead many brokers said they
had commissions to buy five or six
bonds against every one thev had to
sell.
A sub-committee of three of the com
mittee of five sat at tables close to the
bond platform fpr the purpose of fix
ing minimum prices for inactive bonds
l or making any changes which might
become necessary in the announced
minimum quotations of active issues.
Declines in Final Hour
Declines were recorded in the final
hour. Lorrilarl 5s and 7s falling 2 7-8
and 4 ."-S respectively while Southern'
Railway 4s broke six points, Seaboard
Air Line a ijustments 9 points and Wa
bash first 5 1-4. Atchison general 4s
; dropped 11-4 and Erie Ueneral 4 l-2s
2 1-2. Minor recessions were made by
Burlington Joint 4s and Heading 4s
while Lake Shore Debentures of 1931
broke 1 7-8.
The heavy losses sustained by sueh
issues at Seaboard Southern Railway
and Wabash indicated that the author
ities of the Exchange hat virtually re
moved all pi-ice restrictions in the more
obscure bonds.
Among the few additional gains wero
Bethlehem Steel os, 1 3-8, American
Telephone and Telegraph Convertible
1 1-8, New York Railways Adjust
ment 3s, 2-18; Brooklyn Transit os,
1 1-4; Texas Company Convertibles 6s,
1 1-2, and Hook Island Collateral 4s,
1 3-8.
The total business for the ses?ion
i>.mn::uted to $641,000 par value, with
Ja.OoO in government bonds.
Frederick's War on Coffee
In a manifesto issued bv Frederick
the Oreat in 1779 the mighty monarch
deplored "the increased consumption
of coffee by my subjects and the
amount of money that goes out of the
country in consequence. Everybody is
using coffee. This must no longer 'bo.
My subjects must drink beer. His
majesty was brought up on beer, and
so were his ancestors. Innumerable
battles have 'been fought and won by
soldiers nourished on beer, and the
King does not believe that coffee drink
ing soldiers can be defended upon to
and ure hardships or to conquer his
enemies should another war occur."
Coffee roasting was made a government
monopoly, and a prohibitive price was
charged for the 'berry. "Coffee smel-"
lors" were appointed all over Prussia
to check illicit roasting. Coffee was,
therefore, ousted from popular favor.—
London Chronicle.
What's In a Name
How we like to hypnotize ourselves
with names! Take for example, the
case of the muskrat, an animal of most
■clean feeding habits, whose fletfh is
sweet, tender and of delicate flavor.
In the winter months muskrat meat
is in considerable demand in the mar
kets of the 'Middle Atlantic States, but
its sells 'best as ' * marsh rabbit' * or
" water Squirrel." So, too, the students
of the old Latin quarter in Paris when
they expressed a miW doubt of the
possibility of ra'bbit pie at so modest
a price weYe reassured by the sugges
tion that it might be the 'rabbit of the
roofs.'' —-Youth's Companion.
