HARRISBURG TO HAVE
. MELTING POT
(Continued' From Page 3)
Suffrage heads are n< w foregathering
for future plans.
The Central Pennsylvania Suffrage
Association is to take charge of the
melting pot for the city of Harrlsburg
and vicinity, and Mrs. Mabel Cronise
Jones, its president, will be custodian
of said pot. Suffragists of the city are
being asked to gather together their
old pieces of silverware, hammered
Bold and jewelry by August 13.
That day, inauspicious as it may
sound to the ear of the superstitious,
is the birthday anniversary of Lucy
Stone, one of the founders of the move
ment. The trinkets and outworn
household furnishings will be assayed
at the Philadelphia mint and con
verted into dollars for the cause. On
August 13 all the jewelry, plate and
articles gathered will bo shipped to
Philadelphia and sold to the United
States at the mint, where the stuff will
he used in making Uncle Sam's gold
nnd silver dollars. This, it will be
remembered, is what the ladies did in
Revolutionary times, so the war is
helng carried on in good traditional
Btyle.
Sacrifice day. August 15, will be
observed from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast. On this day suffragists and
their friends will deny themselves lux
uries of all sorts. Sundaes, the fare
.of street car rides and the usual Sat
urday evening box of candy will all be
clven up and the sums saved sent to
Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones at 105 Lo
cust street or to Dr. Ruth A. Deeter,
vice-leader of the Woman Suffrage
party, 132 Walnut street.

'Fire Signal Guns by
Wireless Control on
New England Coasts
Along the coast of England signal
guns controlled by wireless Impulses
are being used during fogs to warn
passing vessels of impediments to
navigation. These guns when once
started continue to fire (unless stopped
by the wireless control) at Intervals of
about twenty seconds until the supply
of acetylene e-as operating them is ex
hausted. Tanks containing enough gas
to operate guns about two or three
weeks are Installed near each gun. The
function of the wireless control, as
| pointed out In the Electrical World, is
j to enable attendants in the coast-guard
stations to start or stop the operations
|of these fog guns from a distance,
i thereby eliminating the necessity of
personally visiting the apparatus ex
cept to renew the charge of acetylene
gas.
Will Send and Indicate
Fire Alarm by Electric
Push Telephone Button
An automatic signaling devise has
been patented which can be attached to
ordinary telephone sets for sending in
a (Ire alarm to the nearest fire head
quarters. at the same time indicating
the location of the party desiring pro
tection. The mechanism, according to
the Elecerlc World, consists of a push
I button on the subscriber's set which
when pressed releases the signaling
I apparatus, thereby selecting the proper
line from the excharfctc to the Are head
quarters and sending In a signal char
acteristic of the station where the alarm
originated. If the telephone line is In
use as a called line, the fire alarm sig
nal breaks In and severs the existing
connection. If it Is In use as a calling
station, the call box is restrained un
til the existing connection has been
broken and the switches returned to
normal.
Fights Gamely For His
Life With Broken Neck
With a dislocated neck, William
Daugherty, aged 69 years, of 1760 Lo

| his life at the Harrisburg Hospital.
I Daugherty, because of his a~e, is in a
critical condition, and little hope is en
tertained for his recovery.
While on his way downstairs, at his
home, several days ago, Daugh
erty slipped and fell headfirst.
He was picked up unconscious
and was hurried to the hos
pital in the ambulance, where It was
found a vertebra near the collarbone
had been dislocated. The spinal cord
however, Is not injured. Owing to the
swollen condition of the neck, the dis
location cannot be reached. The aged
man is in a weak condition physically
and It Is feared he will not be able to
survive _ the shock.

PLUG BOOT NEED
NOTIPPROVEPUNS
POO PRXTMG BOROUGH
For a Time Today Baby Town
Was a Wee Bit
Anxious
ELECTION'S TUESDAY NIGHT
i
County Recorder Wouldn't File
Charter This Morning; Um
berger to Rescue
Paxtang. Dauphin county's baby
borough, for quite a while to-day was
officially a wee bit anxious about its
plans.
The cause for the anxiety lay In
the fact that the brand-new borough
j served as the first test of the manda
tory provisions of the City Planning
Commission law of 1913, which re
quires that plans and plots for the
development of any property within
the three-mile radius of the city must
be passed upon and approved by the
City Planning Commission before it
may be recorded.
Not that that alone was the sole cause
tor keeping Paxtang and Paxtang folks
on the anxious bench; the first bor
ough election is scheduled for Tues
day, August 4. Thereby hangs a tale.
Where the Rub Comes In
Some weeks ago Paxtang was duly
Incorporated and the date for the elec
tion was fixed, polling place and elec
tion officers appointed, etc., and all
the plans for stf*eet changes and so
forth were filed for approval. In
course of time the formal decree of
the court authorizing the recording of
the charter and the plan of the bor
ough was handed down. And the
county commisssloners went joyously
ahead to prepare the hallots and other
necessary things for holding the first
election Tuesday evening.
Paxtang borough felt pretty much
like a youQi about to don his first pair
of long trousers until it was discov
ered to-day that the charter and plan
had not yet been recorded with County
Recorder Wiekersham. That was
necessary In order to have the results
of the election on Tuesday officially
recognized.
When counsel for the borough in
corporators this morning presented the
charter with plan appended, together
with the court's decree ordering It
recorded, Deputy Recorder Mumma
refused.
Counsel was aghast. "Why not?"
he inquired.
"Well," explained Mr. Mumma.
"Paxtang is within the three-mile
limit and the law of 1913 requires
that It should be passed upon and ap
proved by the City Planning Commis
si c;;."
During the afternoon, Ben.lamin F.
Umbergcr, secretary of the City Plan
ning Commission, went over to the
recorder's office to look at the papers.
"Oh, that's all right," said he smil
ingly after he had Inspected the
plans, "these can be filed all right.
The plan shows only the borough
boundary lines and the question
doesn't come within the Planning
Commission's jurisdiction."
So Paxtang, Dauphin county's baby
borough, breathed easier again.
BOIiIiTHREiTENS
TO HOED UP WORK
(Continued Front Pago 3)
effect that the splendid trees will be
placed in jeopardy because of possi
ble cutting away of their main root
arteries In excavation?" he was asked.
"The trees are about thirty feet
apart. Now, how big will the roots
be that may be encountered in the
path excavation? Why, you'll fnd
they will be very, very small—and
what damage might possibly be done
will not really Injure the trees. As
for the gr&ss, the plan will be to do
not more than a block at a time—the
dirt will have to lie on the grass for
not longer than a week at a time.
And I'll venture to say that by next
Spring you nor anyone else will hardly
know that the paths had been torn up.
By Majority Vote of Council
"Another thing. I didn't do this
alone. It's true that I made the rec
ommendation for this plan, because I
thought it the best and the most eco
nomical way. I made the recom
mendation to Council and I'm respon
sible for that. But," emphatically de
clared Mr. Bowman, "there are five of
us. If Council didn't want to accept
this they could have voted it down,
couldn't they?"
"'When will the work be started?"
Mr. Bowman was asked.
"Not until after the State Firemen's
convention in October. The material
will be ordered and held there to be
shipped in time to begin the job on
the day after the convention week.
Furthermore, the whole Front street
job must bo completed within eighty
days.
Commissioner Bowman was then
asked about the report that injunc
tion proceedings had been threatened.
To Acquire Park Frontage
"That'c tru," he admitted. "But
the man who talked to me about that
hasn't turned over his land to the city.
I was surprised when 1 learned this.
Of course. I can he stopped by the
legal process of injunction."
"But I want to say right here," con
tinued Mr. Bowman, "that it isn't nec
essary to start the work .it the water
house. I can begin on the other end
the upper section can be attended to
last.
I "In the meantime I mean to see
about these properties which haven't
been turned aver to the city for park
purposes. I've hcen surprised at the
large number of people whom I al
ways believed were public-spirited,
but who have failed to give up their
park land frontage to the city.
The lUvcr Front Beautiful
"Why the River Front Is one of our
most beautiful park sections. People
are growing to appreciate it more and
more—and they will continue to do so
when the river wall and steps are com
pleted. But I don't think that the
people's money ought to be expended
in further improving that river front
age that Is owned by people who won't
give over their property to the city.
"So I'm going to do all I can to pre
vent the dumping of a single load of
earth along the River Front above
'Hardscrabble' until after the park
frontage that has not been deeded
to the city by purchase or donation is
formally acquired. This question I
propose to start on Tuesday, but just
how I'll proceed I'm not yet ready
to say.
"I think th« time has arrived for
the rlty to own all the park frontage.
And," concluded Superintendent Bow
man, "now we've pot the money for
park extension and "development

GOING AGAINST HIS PARTY
On a Spring morn, when the birds |
twittered in the trees and the daffodils
glittered in the grass, Charles C.
Glover, President of a big bank In
Washington, alighted from his electric
runabout and rushed Into a park,
where he assaulted with his financial
fists the rotund person of Representa
tive Thetus W. Sims, of Tennessee.
It Is reported that, upon being hit,
Mr. Sims exclaimed in an emotional
manner:
"I need protection!"
Shortly after this dramatic en
counter, the Democrats of the House
held a caucus on the tariff, and a
humorous congressman—no matter
what you say, there do exist several
humorous congressmen—arose and
spoke as follows:
"I demand that Mr. Sims he read
out of the Democratic party. The
Democratic party can look with
neither toleration nor favor upon a
member who, while a tariff discussion
is in progress, takes his stand in a
public park; and, in the presence" of a
banker, publicly announces that he is
for protection."—The Popular Maga
