SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2
TirE LIBRARY WAS NEEDED
IF anything was required to demon
strate that the Harrisburg Public
Library was needed in the State
Capital, the figures showing a cir
culation of 102,126 in the first year,
and then on only 307 days, supply It.
The library was used to an extent
totally unexpected in this community
and at a rate that has surprised library
experts from other cities, who have
; come here to look over the establish
ment.
The educational value of the library
i is proved by the fact that over a third
• of the circulation was among children,
id third of tho registration and more Is
jof children and more than n third of
!Ihe readers were school children. Chil
dren took out 29,324 of tho 102,128
books and contributed 13,405 to the
38,441 readers in the library.
Just R. 840 residents of Harrisburg
, and vicinity, including Steelton and
(the nearby towns, have registered for
Itha book service of the Public Library.
There is no charge for book service
land the shelves are filled with good
i books, which are being added to
weekly. The reading tables are sup
plied with current magazines and with
tlie three daily newspapers of Harris
burg, whose publishers donated them.
The library is for free use and it has
been used to an extent that has demon
strated It has come to stay as a big
educational factor.
The fact that It has an endowment
and that the school district makes an
I appropriation to it annually does not
|mean that tho library should not be
! better supported by the people of this
community. It was run the first year
(by using some of Its principal. It has
shown that it has a great opportunity
here. It can do still more. But It
cannot do it on compliments.
SCHOOL RECREATION
OLD-TIME games, such as pris
oners' base, leapfrog, blindman's
buff, bull in the ring, hare and
bound, and duck on the rock,
are no longer favorites on the school
grounds of to-day, at least .with boys
in Springfield, 111., according to an
investigation just completed by Lee F.
Hanmer and Clarenco A. Perry, of the
Russell Sage Foundat; in. Less than
one-tenth of 1 per cent., or about one
boy in a thousand, in Springfield men
tioned any of these games. The only
activities reported by over 2ft per cent,
of tho boys were baseball, motion pic
ture shows, reading and kite flying.
Motion picture shows were equally
popular with the girls, according to
the report. The girls indulged in
jumping the rope, roller skating and
hide and seek. Standard games like
1 spy, London bridge, fox and geese,
button button and blindman's buff are
at the bottom of the list, indicating
that they are played by comparatively
few girls.
An inquiry into the amusements of
the high school students showed that
practically all of the high school stu
dents attend the movies. Of the boys
86 per cent, and of the girls S4 per
cent, attend the theater. The boys
who attend average about once a week
and the girls go almost as frequently.
Tho majority of the visits to the the
ater are not made. In the case of
either sex, with any other member of
the family. Social dancing Is indulged
In by 40 per cent, of the boys and 48
per cent, of the girls. A large number
of the dances they attend are held in
hotels. In CI per cent, of the boys'
homes and In 48 per cent, of the girls'
homes parties for young people are not
held.
While no such investigation has ever
been conducted In Harrisburg, it is
reasonably certain that Springfield's
percentage would apply to the local I
schools with approximate accuracy,
and that being tho case, the recre- i
ational program recommended by the
report might be worthy of local atten
tion. Among other things, It advocates
the establishment of a department of
physical training and play, a recom
mendation now being carried out in
Springfield, the purchase of a public
school athlotic field, co-operation be
tween the board of education and the
park board In the utilization of park
playgrounds, and a system of school
social renters to be carried on under
tho direction of the superintendent of
Hfhools and principals and partially
maintained by parent-teacher asso
ciations.
Other recommendations the Tele
uraph has repeatedly ur*ed /or Har
rißburff schools are: School grounds to
open for play from the closlne of
PfPIMIiiRRiPr - w 7 f "
SATURDAY F.VF.NING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 2, 1915.
the school to 5.30 or 6 p. m., and on
Saturdays, with paid teachers or others
equipped for such work in charge;
school playgrounds to be kept open
and supervised during the summer;
competent persons to be-assigned to
school athletic fields after school hours
and on Saturdays, also at stated hours
In summer; school buildings to be con
structed and equipped to serve as
centers of civil, social and recreational
activities.
Tho park department of Harrisburg
has done well by the young people of
the city, but by the nature of things its
activities are limited, and where its
work leaves off the schools should take
it up.
WE MI ST PULL TOGETHER
j¥T is a time to qtand together and
I to pull together—for peace, for
» happiness and prosperity," says
S. C. Long, general manager of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. In his New
Year's greeting to the employes of
the system.
That statement is true not only of
the Pennsylvania railroad. It Is true
In every business, in every walk of
life. In every home. If you please.
Standing together and pulling to
gether will make any firm "get on."
Wrangling and lack of co-operation
always make for unpleasantness, un
happiness and failure. Andrew Car
negie once declared that the spirit of
! co-operation among his employes was
| the one tiling that made the steel
' business what it Is to-day.
Every man owes It to his employer
to do his utmost for tho good of the
whole wherever and whenever pos
sible. It would be well if every em
ploye would determine to "stand" and
"pull" for his employer throughout
the coming year: and let every em
ployer resolve to do the same by his
men. For the thing that Is sauce for
the goose is usually sance for the
gander.
HKHSHEY'S GROWTH
A SPECIAL New Year edition of
the Hershey Press shows In a
convincing way the remark
able growth of an industry and
upbuilding of a neighboring torn.
Shipments of the Hershey Chocolate
Company for 1914 broke all previous
records; a score of new buildings and
miles of new streets and roads were
built; a new water supply was fur
nished the town; new trolley Hues
were constructed, and more than 100,-
000 people visited the place.
Factories, stores, bank, schools,
farms and park, all show records of
growth and development despite the
business depression that retarded
many a community throughout the
United States. In a musical and lit
erary way, also, much was accom
plished during 1914 of which Her
'shey can well be proud.
Probably the biggest reason for the
chocolate town's success lies in the
fact that the Herslieys have planned
to make the town a social as well as
an industrial center.
WORLD POLICE PATROL
CLARENCE H. HOWARD, presi
dent of the Commonwealth Steel
Company, Granite City, 111.,
known as the "Golden Rule Steel
Man," has refused an order for two
million dollars' worth of shrapnel be
cause he believes warfare should cease.
As lias been frequently pointed out,
the United States could very quickly
end the war if it would refuse to sup
ply the belligerents with the ammu
nition necessary for carrying on of
hostilities." But men like Howard, who
conduct their business by the Golden
Rule rather than by the rule of gold,
are few and far between. As long as
men are so greedy for gain as to stand
' ready to reap benefit from war without
suffering Its horrors there wilt bo found
those who will furnish weapons to
carry on conflict.
The stand of Howard 1s one worthy
of the highest commendation, but very
obviously it will be of little practical
value. Disarmament of the nations
and the establishing of a world-wide
international police patrol are the only
means which will forever end war.
CARE IN DRIVING
WITHOUT regard as to where
the blame lies for the de
plorable automobile accident at
Front and Walnut streets last
night, there is a lesson In it for every
driver anil luotorman. Drive carefully,
with the vehicle under perfect con
trol at all times, should l>e the motto
of every man who puts his hand to
throttle or controller.
The Ice-covered streets and roads
are slippery, and while the street car
man's task Is no light one to hold his
car from sliding at grades and comers,
the traction of his machine is much
greater than that of an automobile
under the same conditions. Trolley
cars must for the present give prefer
ence to automobiles. If accidents are to
be avoided.
Even slowly moving automobiles are
difficult to handle on icy highways and
when they exceed the speed limit the
danger Is multiplied.
SEALER'S GOOD WORK
THE monthly report of Harry
Boyer, county sealer of weights
and measures, shows a remark
able decrease in the number of
defective measures and scales found
by the Inspector on his rounds. This
does not necessarily mean that deal
ers are any better morally than they
used to be, nor that they ever In
great numbers wilfully cheated their
patrons. What Mr. Boy»r has done
has been to see to it that weights and
measures are fully up to standard.
Many an honest man may go on for
years giving his patrons light weight
or short measure unless shown by
official standards that his scales or,
measuring stick are wrong. This Is
the great service that Mr. Boyer is
performing and the number of in
spections he has made indicates that
he is active in his duties.
The sealer moro than pays the ex
penses of his office in the saving he
effects for the taxpayers of the coun
ty in the purchase of their household
|and business supplies.
["EVENING CHAT I
The ordinary Saturday calm of the
State Capitol was missing to-day be
cause of preparations for the meeting
of the Legislature next Tuesday, and
desks, chairs, filing: cases and furni
ture were being moved from commit
tee rooms and clerical offices which
had been in use bj' departments of
the State government during; the
months since the last General Assem
bly adjourned. Some of the depart
mental offices nro being moved into
rooms in the attic of the Capitol and
others have been quartered in the.
store rooms, which have been cleared
out to provide temporary accommo
dations. Some of the departments
forced to move from the Capitol have
gone into buildings in the Capitol
Park extension zone bought by the
State, but not yet torn down. The
halls of the two houses have been
prepared for the meeting of the law
makers and so have the caucus
rooms, all of which have been in the
hands of the house-cleaning force in
the last few weeks. Every one of
the hundreds of electric light globes
In the two chambers was tested this
week and new clocks have been in-,
stalled in the rear of the chambers.
Tons of supplies have been placed In
the Capitol and will bo distributed
next week when the members assem
ble. The assignments of desks have
about been completed, the old mem
bers being given option of occupying
their -former places. The two houses
will meet on Tuesday at noon and
after organization will listen to the
reading of Governor Tcner's farewell
message.
"Chance plays a great part in budl
neps," sakl a well-known llarris
hurger yestsrday. "For nearly a year
1 had been trying to sell an automo
bile that I had been foolish enough
to keep after 1 purchased a new car.
j 1 had advertised It and the dealer had
| advertised it and demonstrated it, all
Ito no result. As a friend of mine
|was discussing business affairs with
me the other day 1 casually men
tioned to him that I would like to
turn that automobile into cash. To
my astonishment he pulled out his
check book, asked ine how much I
wanted for it, and insisted on writing
a check for the amount on the spot.
wanted a second-hand car, It
seemed, knew what mine was and
Jumped at. tho opportunity of getting
It. After this I am not going to for
get personal publicity when 1 have
anything to sell."
That put another member of the
party into a reminiscent mood and
he had another viewpoint. When he
was a, boy on the farm his employor
started him off to town with a load
of potatoes and told him he would
"thrash him soundly" if he brought
any of them back with him at night.
The youth didn't fancy a whipping
and was inspired to spend all of his
pocketmoney for an "ad" In an after
noon newspaper, calling the attention
of readers to a "remarkable sale of
prize potatoes at bargain prices" in
the public square that evening. The
result was that he not only sold his
entire supply, but was able to repeat
the operation for three successive
days thereafter.
A couple of hunters were talking
the other duy about the statement
that only 236 bears had been killed in
Pennsylvania during the season which
closed yesterday, and they attributed
it to tho abolition of the steel traps
by an net passed a few years ago. In
times gone by killing of bears used to
be a common thing, the animals being
caught in traps. Now they have to
be hunted down just like any other
kind of game, and as they live In
places somewhat hard to reach, the
kill is comparatively small. Some of
the bears killed have been big fat
fellows.
Members of the Governor's Troop
are getting ready for the first of the
inspections the organizations must
undergo this winter. It conies on
Monday evening and heads the list of
inspections by the regular army of
ficers. The inspection' will be to de
termine efficiency for field service and
will really consist of two inspections,
one of property and the other of the
men. The Infantry companies will
have their 'nspectlons later on.
The decision of the State Educa
tional Association to meet in Scranton
will give 'the Lackawanna capital the
first meeting since 1888. As a matter
of fact the association has met in
almost every one of the larger places
in the State and In many of the
smaller since that date and Seranton
is coming back to the list. Already
the Scranton educators are planning
to make the meeting notable. Dr.
Brumbaugh will be invited to attend
and so will Henry Houck.
There is a difference of only $350,-
000 between the cash balances in the
State Treasury at the end of Decem
ber of 191", and of December of the
year just closed. The total of the
balance on Thursday was $6,755,-
580.01, while a year ago it was $6,-
404,379.90. Another singular coinci
dence is that at the close of last No
vember the balance was $7,427,208.58
agai.ist $7,564,289.78 at the end of
November in 1913. The last Decem
ber receipts were about $400,000
ahead of those of the December of
1913.

HEADQUARTERS ARE
FRIENDLY PLACES
Candidates For Speaker Fraternize
and Talk Over Chances
For Success <
NO BITTER STATEMENTS MADE
Marked Contrast to the Conditions
Prevailing Last Session
Before Meeting
—By sundown tho headquarters of
four candidates for speaker of the
next House will be open in the Com
monwealth Hotel and a fifth man
may decide to open headquarters, too.
Tho Commonwealth is the center of
the activity connected with the con
test for the Republican nomination
for speaker which means victory and
everyone to-day remarked the friendly
spirit of the campaign for the honors.
It Is in sharp contrast to the fight
two years ago when some of the
candidates issued sharp statements
about each other.
—Richard J. Baldwin, Delaware,
and Henry 1. Wilson. Jefferson, opened
their headquarters last night and this
morning R. P. Ilabgood, McKean, es
tablished himself, expecting Charles
A. Ambler, Montgomery, later in the
day. Baldwin said he was going to
win, Wilson said he had the qualifi
cations and Habgood said he would
stay until the nomination was made.
Each one said that the contest was
friendly and greeted his rivals with
assurances of support if any of the
three won. It was a regular lovefest
and everyone appeared to be happy,
although predicting a contest.
—Mr. Baldwdt was in very happy
mood and seemed very confident.
When asked as to the outlook he said:
"In the last twenty-four hours, I have
been in touch with pretty nearly every
county In the State, and I have every
reason to feel as confident now as I
have at any time since the start of the
campaign. Unless the unexpected and
unforeseen happens, I have a good
margin. 1 believe a substantial ma
jority ofMhe members of the House
will cast their' ballots for me. Yes,
we are going to have a fight, a lively
fight, but to my mind the outcome is
assured."
—ln the Wilson headquarters Mr.
North smiled broadly, and said: "Mr.
Wilson is a candidate to the finish,
and he is going to show some people
something." Mr. Wi.e>on issued a state
ment in which he said: "I have come
here to meet the members and to
present my arguments. I have been
a member of the bar for twenty-two
years, and have served as a member
of the House and have filled import
ant cierkssliips. I come from a cen
trally located county, it seems that
everyone agrees that the speakership
should come from the country. Phila
delphia has tho Governor and Alle
gheny the Justice of the Supreme
Court, and will have the President pro
tem of the Senate. The speakership
should not go to either of the two big
counties or to counties near them.
It should go to the country In fact as
well as name. Now I have only the
most kindly feeling for my friend
from Montgomery and my friend from
Delaware, but they come from coun
ties that aje really suburbs of Phil
adelphia. I hail from a real interior
county."
i —Tho Philadelphia Record of to
day says: "Charles A. Ambler is ex
pected to be indorsed for speaker by
the Philadelphia delegation to the
House of Representatives at a special
meeting at the Republican city com
mittee rooms this evening, and thus
i practically assured of the nomination
| of tho party caucus at Harrisburg on
j Monday night. A cail for the caucus
j was issued last evening and was
signed by Max Aron, John Reynolds,
Harry T. Bauerle. John E. Arthur and
a number of other local legislators,
who have not been strictly identified
with the Vare faction, openly support
ing Ambler. With the caucus held in
the absence of Senator McNichol in
the Couth, it is understood in politi
cal circles that he is in accord with the
program of me other leaders to sup
port the candidate favored by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and that Ambler
is now practically certain to win the
speakership."
—Among the new members to ar
rive early were Miles A. Milliron, of
Armstrong county, who registered at
the Bolton and who was first on the
ground, and H. H. Arnold, of Clar
ion, a Republican from a Democratic:
stronghold. Mr. Arnold 1b the eighth
Republican to be elected from that
county in Its whole history.
—"Big Bill" Adams, of Beaver
Meadows, th« man who heads the
House list, arrived last night and an
nounced, "I am for my old pal, Dick."
Adams says it is r. personal matter.
—Senator T. M. Kurtz, of Jefferson,
wis the first senator to arrive. He
helped Congre.iHman-elect S. Taylor
Korth bring the Wilson boom to town.
—Philadelphia papers say that Am
bler and Baldwin met by accident In
Broad street, oration yesterday and
invited each other to call at head
quarters.
—The Allegheny county delegation
will have a caucus here on Monday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is said that
Ambler has some strength, although
Baldwin is said to have some pledges.
—W. A. Ostrander. colleague of
Habgood, won out by nine votes. But
they were enough.
—The Central Democratic Club last
night received from Dr. Brumbaugh
an acknowledgement of Its resolutions
discussing the ballot laws. In the
answer Dr. Brumbaugh says: "The
safeguarding the ballot is one of the
most fundamental problems of demo
cracy. and you can rest assured that
I will give the whole problem my
most careful consideration." The club
began the new year with the inaugu
ration of Edward Moesleln as presi
dent and the other new officers elect
ed recently. T. K. VnnDyke offered a
resolution thanking the old officers
for their services and wishing the
members a prosperous new year.

I ership. v

STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
[Philadelphia Tnqulrer.]
The fact that there were 50,000
fewer cases of communicable diseases
in Pennsylvania during the year 1914
than In the previous year is not only
highly gratifying in itself, but is tho
highest sort of a tribute to the effl
| oiency of the State Department of
Health. Moreover, never has the
Commonwealth been so free from ty
phoid fever as in the year that has
just gone into history. Back in 1906
there were over 24,000 cases. Since
that time Doctor Dixon and his as
sistants have been fighting the causes
of typhoid, and as a consequence.in
1914 there were only 7,000 cases, li
decrease of 70 per cent. From an
economic standpoint, this means a
saving of several millions of dollars
annually to Pennsylvania, not to
•peak of the suffering that has been
avoided. Everybody knows that ty
phoid usually comes from bad sani
tary conditions, and its decrease
proves that these conditions are be
ing gradually eliminated.
Tho statement of Commissioner
Dixon shows that the health of the
peoplo has been better than in pfevl
oits years. The death rate for Penn
sylvania during 1913 was fourteen to
each thousand persons, and this, when
the large urban population is con
sidered In connection, with the vast
manufacturing and mining communi
ties, Is most satisfactory. Tuberculo
sis, conceded to be the greatest foe to
human life, has been steadily declin
ing, not only through the energy of
the Btate authorities, but also be
cause of the praiseworthy activity of
many charitable and philanthropic or
ganisations. Cancer, of all the report
ed diseases, shows a slight increase,
and while this is discouraging the hope
Is held out that with research and la
bor the time Is coming when this foe
of the human body will be more suc
cessfully' combatted. Pennsylvanlans
have good reason to be proud of the
energetic work of the State, Depart
ment of Health, and the results that
have been obtained show what may
be done by intelligent, systematic and
well-directed effort.
THE PROSPEROUS MAN
of to-morrow is who saves TO-DAY.
I lie best way to save is to outline a definite plan (
