freight agent al Harrishurg lias ad
dressed to these commercial bodies
a letter entitled "Suggestions for
Boards of Trade, Chambers of
Caminerce, Business Men's Leagues
and other Social Civic organiza
tions Seeking to Promote Local
Developnent."
The Pennsylvania's announce
ment to these trades bodies closes
by saving:
"The Pennsylvrnia Railroad
Company has enlisted for the war
and will co-operate with you as far
as it consistently can, if you will
now and periodically hereafter,
take account of stock and keep the
undersigned fully informed as to
the local advantages and other in
ducements you have to offer, to
those seeking lota ns for new en
terprises.
Quoting Wood worth Clum, edi
tor of "Town Development'' who
recently made an address before
the Lancaster, (Pa.,) Chamber of
Commerce, Mr Rose' letter says:
"To promote sucessfnllv and
solve the problem of local develop
ment, each of you must consider it
as you do your individual business.
What would it profit a manufac
turer to erect a modern plant,
©quipped with the best up- o date
machinery and producing the best
of a needed product, if he stored it
in his warehouse and let it go at
that.
"The community has something
to sell: vacant building lots for
houses, stores, warehouses or in
dustrial plants or similar plants for
rent 6r sale; merchants and manu
facturers to be patronized and pro
fessional citizens to consult and a
destiny to determine. The shelves
of the local wareroom are filled
■with the commodity called local
advantages. Is this stock covered
v ith the dust of years or hidden by
a curtain of cobwebs and have its
owners forgotten their warehouse
and its salable contents?
"In these modern days of keen
civic competition the handle of the
big front door of the warehouse
must be polished and the dust and
cobwebs banished and the world
advised of the quality, nature and
utility of these wares, by advertis
ing and exploiting them as we do
in private business. For what is
true of it. is equally and in greater
degree true of the community's in
terest, for without active co-opera
tion neither can thrive, hence the
campaign of local promotion and
development is no longer optional.
There are three essentials to men
tal activity. First, to interest;
second, to convince; third, to force
action. Every citizen worthy the
name is interested ami it is com
paratively easy to convince him of
the necessity for action if supre
macy is to be won, but the difficul
ty is reached in forcing action.
ou c in hold meeting.-, talk things
over and agree upon what should
be done, but the lighting volunteers

HOTEL'S GREAT PIPE ORGAN
Largest Musical Instrument of the
Kind In America Is in the
Astor, New York.
The Hotel Astor, In New York,
boasts the largest pipe organ In tha
United States and one of the largest
In the world. A pipe organ is fin in
novation In hotel fixtures, and as such
is of more than usual interest.
The great organ represents all or
chestral instruments, and its many j
speaking stops, nearly 100, make the j
tonal resources of the Instrument al- !
most inexhaustible. It is divided into |
four distinct divisions, the main or- j
gan occupying two chambers on the j
east and west sides of the ball room, j
The other two divisions are arranged j
on either side of "L'Orangerie" room, j
Completely hidden from view by the ;
decorations of the walls and ceilings, j
the music comes as a surprise.
The pipes, varying from 32 feet in I
lepgth to only a fraction of an inch,
are hundreds of feet away from the
playing cabinet containing the keys
and stops, and each one is operated by
its individual train of electro-pneu
matic action. The pressure of a key
gives current to a wire that finds its |
way through various cables and ,
switches to a magnet, which operates j
pneumatic mechanism that opens a }
valve and gives pressure to the pipe, j
HAYTIAN CUTLERY SALUTE
Steward of Naval Vessel Put Knives
and Forks in Gun and Hotel
Was Punctured.
Discipline aboard men-of-war belong- I
ing to tropical countries is not as
strict as that obtaining on the vessels j
of colder countries. Indeed, in some j
instances, it is very lax.
The Defense, a Haytlan naval ves
sel, was lying in the harbor of Port
au-Prince. One day a mess cook, for ;
some reason, cleaned about a peck of !
knives and forks on the gun deck, and, •
being suddenly called away, and not !
wishing to spend time togo to the !
galley, he seized the messpot full of
knives and forks and stuck it in the
muzzle of the ten-inch gun, putting the
tampion in after it. About an hour
afterward the admiral came aboard,
and, as the gun was loaded with blank
cartridge, they used it to fire a salute.
It happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town, and almost point
blank at the Grand Hotel. The guests
assembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they were saluted
with a rain of knives and forks, which
stuck against the wooden walls like
quills on a porcupine. Fortunately no
one was hurt, although there were
many narrow escapes.
Need for Two Collars.
Having bought a dog that he ad
mired a Washington Heights man un
dertook to buy a dog collar. The dog
had a neck nearly as big as his head
and the dealer advised the man to
buy two collars.
"What for?" said the man. "He's
got only one neck, so I guess he can
get along with only one collar, can't
he?"
"Maybe so," said the dealer, so the
man went away leading the dog by
his new collar and chain.
In less than a week he brought the
dog back.
"I'm afraid I can't keep him," he
said. "He Is too obstreperous. I can't 1
keep him tied up. His neck Is the
biggest part of him and he is as 6trong
as an ox, therefore It Is a slnch for
him to slip his collar off
"That 1H why I wanted you to take ■
two collars." said the duller. "Put i
both on and fasten the chain to the ;
hack cottar and he can t"ig away all
night without netting loose. He may j
commit suicide, but tie won't get
loose."

CAMERON COUNTY PRKSS, THURSDAY, APRIL 6. iqn.
WHAT WOMAN LIKES IN MAN
Pleasing Manners, Deference, Cour
tesy and a Vigorous, Healthy and
Well-Groomed Appearance.
▲ woman likes pleasing .manners la
a man. She likes deference and cour
tesy and attentlveness in small
things. Manners often make mor«
of an appeal to her than sterling
worth. That's the reason foreigners
make such headway with American
women. They never forget to be defer
ential and courteous, to say the little
things and to do the little things that
warm the cockles of the feminine
heart. This may be all wrong Per
haps she ought to appreciate the char
acter more than the veneer. But she
doesn't. The average woman isn't
practical. She's romantic. She likes
roses and bonbons. Many men give
her cabbage and beefsteak. Cabbage
and beefsteak are all right, but as a
steady diet they are tiresome. She'll
take less cabbage and beefsteak if
thereby she may hav« some roses and
bonbons.
A woman likes a man to look
healthy and to be well groomed/. She
likes a vigorous body, a healthy skin
and a look that betokens a daily
acquaintance with the bath tub, not
merely because she likes beauty,
though she does, but because these
things betoken good habits.
A woman, if she is a wife or a
sweetheart, likes expressions of love.
She gets tired of taking a man's love
for granted. It grows faint and far
away, and life is cold and common
place, when he does not tell her in
actual words he loves her, and show
her by actual caresses, how much. To
some men, this seems all foolishness.
They think that paying bills is the
best proof of their love. But again,
most women are not practical, and
bills are uninteresting things, not half
so enjoyable or warm and vital as a
kiss or a caress.
QUEER THING IN BIRD LIFE
Fantail Pigeons Hatch Out a Bantam
Chick but Have Trouble in
Feeding It.
The following experience, says a
writer in the Strand, I have recently
had may be of interest to your read
ers. I have two fantail pigeons, both
male birds, and I noticed one day that
they built a nest and then were sit
ting on it alternately, as if they were
going to hatch eggs. It struck me
that It might be a good idea to put an
egg of my bantams into the nest to
compensate the pigeons for the trou
ble they had taken in building it. Ap
parently they appreciated my doing
so, as from that time they never left
the nest for about three weeks, when,
to my great surprise, I found a little
chicken peeping from the pigeon's
nest. It was touching to see how the
pigeons tried to feed the chicken by
opening tl-air beaks, like pigeons do,
and inviting the youngster to help
himself to the contents of their crops,
which, of course, it refused to do, be
cause It Is a chicken and not a pigeon.
The pigeons are very fond of the little
one, and take it under their wfngs to
keep it warm whenever It wants it,
exactly as a hen treats her chickens.
The Women of Brittany.
To the casual observer the Bretonne
Is not attractive or even supremely
interesting. As a femme de chambrn
she Is clumsy, slovenly and rough of
speech, lacking the graces and neat
ness of her Parisian sister, She shuf
fles about In felt slippers, her volu
minous black skirts catch In every
thing, and If she waits at the table
d'hote her method of handling cutlery
Is strongly calculated to sever one's
Jugular vein. She has no regularity In
her work, and at the hour that she
ought to be making beds she Is prob
ably sitting on the public staircase
nursing her baby. She Is generally
married and, conversely, often ten
years younger than you take her to
be. To English eyes she is rarely
beautiful. Her hair is strained tight
ly under her cap. her checks have
seldom any delicacy of tint nnd her
figure and motions are ungainly and
awkward.- Wide World.
Queer Marital Relations.
Curiouß marriage customs prevail
among the people dwelling in the Tan
gl Valley in India. Mere It seems that
the women are polygamous, and that
several brothers possess one wife in
common. The custom is said to be
due to the poverty of the people. The
children bear the names of all the
husbands of the mother How such a
custom as to names works out In
practice It Is dltllcult to comprehend.
The divorce custom* are very simple.
If tbo husband establishes that his
wife Is a bud cook It Is a sufficient
giound, and on the wife's hide, if she
can show that her husband lulls to
provide for the u keep of the house
she obtain relief.

CAT WAS REVERED IN JAPAN
She Lived in Temples and Was
Known as the of the
Manuscripts.
According to a Japanese writer, the
domestic cat appeared in his country
at a relatively recent epoch, having
traveled from China with the mis
sionaries of Buddhism. In the middle
the sixth century of the Christian
era sacrifices were offered to the cat,
which was known by all as "the
guardian of the manuscripts."
"The guardian of the manuscripts"
kept away the mice, who otherwise
would have eaten the precious papy
rus. In some instances placards were
set In conspicuous places among
manuscripts as a warning to the mice:
Beware! The cat is here. She drives
the mice. Portraits of cats were also
placed in places frequented by mice.
The cats were revered. For a long
time they were kept in the temples.
But their beauty, their general desir
ability and the charm of their grace,
affection for man, and adaptability to
human conditions so appealed to the
layman that one by one very gradual
ly their kittens were permitted to
leave the temples and to become the
pets of the nobility. After entering
the families of the high officials of
the Empire they won their way into
humbler households.
NEW WAY TO CURE BALDNESS
Work in Cold Storane Plant or Goto
Arctic Regions and Your Hair
Will Grow.
The latest "universal hair grower"
discovered is a trip to the Arctic re
gions, or failing time and inclination
for that, employment in a cold storage
company. According to Sir Ernest
Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, ex
treme cold Is one of the best means
of strengthening the hair. In the
course of an interview recently, Sir
Ernest said.
"All of the men who went with me
on the south pole expedition with one
or two exceptions possessed stronger
crops of hair on their return to civi
lization.
"Extreme cold undoubtedly strength
ens one's hair. As our party ap
proached nearer the south pole our
hair grew more slowly, but became
thicker and stronger."
An official of a London cold storage
company, interviewed on the same
subject, stated that there was not a
bald-headed man !n the employ ot the
company. He said that the men
worked all day In a temperature of
20 degrees of frost and the cold un
doubtedly made their hair thicker.
Covers Much Space.
A New York department store gets
out a postcard which contains interest
ing "acts for the curious. Here are
some of the store's features which it
mentions: Ten freight elevators, 26
passenger elevators, 120 flights of
stairs, 1,020 telephone stations, 8,000
automatic sprinklers, 17 miles of
pneumatic tubes With 370 stations, 22,-
000,000 pounds of steel, 221,400 cubic
feet of concrete in foundations, a mile
and a half of showcases, 25 miles of
steam circulation pipe, 2,406 steel col
umns, 24,040 incandescent lamps, 45
show windows with the largest plate
glass In New York, 5,250.000 bricks
used In erection, 540,000 feet of copper
wiring for lighting, 390 separate de
partments, 250,000 square feet, or
nearly 27 acres of wood flooring, which
gives the floor space 800.000 square
feet of plaster surface, 100,000 square
feet of outside window glass.
American Robins in England.
An attempt has been made to intro
duce the American robin into Surrey,
with apparent success. Six pairs turn
ed loose last June near Guilford have
reared about 40 nestlings. The name
of our robin was given by the Pilgrim
Fathers to the largest and most nu
merous of the American thrushes
(Turdus mlgratorius), because of its
red breast, and friendly association
with man.
The American robin Is closely relat
ed to our blackbird, and has a sweet,
melodious song. Its introduction to
Surrey will be regarded by market
gardeners with much misgiving, for
though his fool consists chiefly of
worms or insects, he works sad havoc
among the cherrle Westminster Ga
zette.
Character in Women's Walk.
An observing man insists that he
can tell a woman's character by her
manner of walking and the kind of
»hoes t,he wears. He says that the
