Source of Serious Blood!
Trouble
In thousands of instances blood
troubles have been the result of com
ing in contact with disease germs in
public plac
cople. The
number applying for care would
be prreatly decreased If Harrisburg
maintained a municipal lodging
house, where tlie applicants could
work for their temporary care and
lutve their clothes fumigated while
they slept. It would also de
crease the number loafing about
the city, committing small of
fenses for the sake of I>elng sent
to Jail to secure a warm place for
the winter months.
The meeting last evening was tha
sixth annual gathering and the re
port of Miss Clark was a revelation
to many of the charity workers as to
just what had been accomplished dur
ing the last twelve months. Among
other things the report showed that
871 local families and 144 transients
had been treated.
The Harrisburg Benevolent Asso
ciation, the Anti-Tuberculosis Society,
aided by funds raised in the 1913 Red
Cross Christmas seal campaign and
the many other charitable and philan
thropic institutions and organizations,
all worked with the Charites in bring
ing about a betterment of conditions
here.
Attention was called to the fact
that desertion officers, whose duties
should be similar to those of the pro
bation officer, only Insofar as the
desertion and nonsupport offenders
aro concerned, have not yet been ap
pointed. The law providing this passed
a year ago.
The problem of the county work
house, the establishment of a work
ing quarry at the almshouse, and the
importance of providing cheaper,
more comfortable houses, was espec
ially emphasized. In the latter con- 1
nection the general secretary's report
was to this effect:
Those under $lO are especially
scarce and are frequently not
healthful nor sanitary. The de
struction of so many small houses
In the Eighth Ward for the ex
tension of Capitol Park has in- 1
creased the demand for them and
will cause serious overcrowding
in the other wards, as no provis
ions have been made to meet the
demand.
Prior to the report of Miss Clark
seven new governors were elected to
serve for thr®e-ycar terms, as follows:
Dr. J. TV. Kilenberger, Vance C. Me-
Cormick, George W. Reily, E. Z. i
Gross. Alv*. William Henderson, Mr*.
M. W. Eager and Morris R. Jaoobson.
"}
The new board will meet Tuesday, |
April 14, to organize.
Another interesting report was that
of Donald McCormick and John Fox
Weiss on Harrisburg's unusually big
1913 Red Cross Christmas seal sale
last year. Just 249,000 seals were
sold. A cash balance remains of
$2,611.29.
Dr. Little's talk was unusually in
teresting. "The Modern Charity
Movement" was the subject of Mr.
Little's talk. President W. B. Mc-
Caleb was in the chair.
"The trained worker," said Dr.
Little in part, "may be compared to
the physibian. Just as they diagnose
cases of illness, so do the social work
ers diagnose social ailments. The
average trained worker must be '-een
enough not to be deceived. Visits to
the home are not made in the spirit
of the detective but to carefuly study
conditions and apply a remedy."
HIS colElion
OF DEPT. HEIDS
[('/outinued from First Page.]
It was originally intended by the
Treasury Department in remodeling
tho Harrisburg building to extend the
working floor to tho post office forty
six feet, the entire length of the build
ing, and add a wing on each end as is
now proposed, but the first appropria
tion was found to be Inadequate. Un
der the circumstances the contract in
cluded (foundations, walls and steel
work of sufficient strength to cafry
these wings in the future. It was
found when proposals for the work
were received that the money available
for the changes was not sufficient to
do all of the proposed work as the bids
received left only about $13,000 surplus
which would not have been sufficient
to construct the two wings. The pres
ent contract provides only for the ad
dition of the first story (all of which
will be used by the post office) and re
modeling of the Interior of the old
building. Tho committee on buildings
and grounds says in its report that
when the building Is remodeled as now
proposed it will be inadequate for
present requirements. First Assistant
Postmaster General Roper reporft that
the space available when the extension
shall have been completed will fall far
short of the actual demands.
Postmaster Sites in his letter on the
subject, re-enforcing the recommenda
tions of his predecessor, says the desig
nations of the Harrisburg office as a
central distribution point for a large
portion of the State makes necessary
the further onl&rgement. He also
states that he has been advised by the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
that the Harrisburg office will be
made a distribution point and collec
tion office of postal supplies.
To Transfer Executive Offices
It is proposed in the event of the
further enlargement of the building
under thi Krelder bill to transfer the
executive offices from the first to the
second floor and the Weather Bureau I
from the second to the third floor, this j
bureau requiring more space. iXox*
