DIRECTORS ATTEST TD
SUCCESS OF COURSE
Eat Variety of Dainty Dishes Pre
pared by Central High
School Seniors
Just how valuable the new domestic
science department at Central high
s< hool is was not discovered by the
city school directors who favored tjio
installation of the department until
noon to-day.
Recently March 29 was named as
the day for the annual inspection of
the city schools. The girls at Central
high immediately decided to extend an
invitation to the directors to come to
the domestic science kitchen for their
noonday meal. As a result nine
hungry aid happy men eagerly
wended their way to the basement of
i he school to-day to sample the cook
ing of the girls, who were busy all
morning "getting ready." Miss Fran
ces Hamilton, instructor, supervised
the plans, but let the girls do the
work. And the directors turned in a
unanimous decision that those girls
can't be beaten.
In the party were Harry A. Boyer,
president of the board; F. E. Downes,
superintendent of city schools; D. D.
1 lammelbaugh, secretary; William A.
8011, Adam D. Houtz. Millard F. Saul,
Harry M. Bretz. George W. Kennedv
and the Rev. William X. Yates. The
party visited nearly every school in
the city and received reports from the
principals regarding accommodations
and repairing needed.

Prinz Eitel Friedrich
Must Soon Leave Pier
By Associated Press
New port News. Va., March 29. —The
German auxiliary cruiser Pritis! Eltel
Friedrich still lay at her dock to-day,
apparently no more prepared to make
a dash for sea than at any other time
during the last week, but the activities
all around her convinced local officials
that some definite step soon would be
taken either to intern the raider or
send her out.
The elusive report, current in armv
and navy circles, that Commander
Thierrichens was ready to go, but
awaited assurances that the United
States would protect him within the
three-mile limit from the hostile cruis
ers which have been blocking every
lane out past the Virginia Capes,
would not down.
Other than two torpedoboats and
one submarine daylight disclosed no
oilier American ships in these waters
although battleships were reported
throughout the night gathering to
protect American neutrality.
The time limit of the Eltel's stay
was still an official secret but there
was a well-defined report that it ex
pires within the next 4 8 hours. One
report that the Eitel will be towed to
New York within the three-mile limit
is not taken seriously by officials, who
believe her draft, oven though now
light, would not permit her to navi
gate so close to the shores.

Isn't An Unusual Bargain
"Certainly I shall not urgo the pas
sage of this measure until after the
Planning Commission has had a
chance to look it over," said Mr. Tay
lor. "The Councilmen expect to go
up there this afternoon but X can't say
when the Planning Commission will
do so. The members may also go up
this afternoon.
"In urging the purchase of this
plot I'm not going to do so with the
idea that this is an unusual bargain.
I do not say it is. But 1 do say it is
certainly an ideal playground site, and
that the price at which it is offered, is
fair and reasonable. The assessment
for the property of $11,500, I do not
think is a matter for consideration in
this instance because the assessment
is hardly Indicative of value. The
Polyclinic hospital site alone was of
fered t'o us lor $15,000; from the pres
ent owners we now could buy that
site for 114,700.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
HELP DEVELOP PARK
Municipal League Will v Make
Plans For Beginning Work
on Kelker Tract
The Municipal League of Steelton
will meet this evening to set a date
for the formal commencement of
the development of the Luther R. Kel
ker park. Final details of a plan to
have all tho school children of the
borough co-operate in the will
be discussed.
Owing to the Inability of Warren
H. Manning, the landscape architect,
| who is drawing plans for the park
driveways and walks, to i*tnnplete his
work, the plans will not be submitted
to the league this evening. Mr. Man
ning has been delays in his work
and according to Charles R. Ilolton,
secretary of the league, be will not
likely have the plans completed in
timu for next week's council meeting.
The Municipal League, however, will
sot a date this evening for beginning
the park development. It is likely
that this date will be late enough to
allow a completion of Mr. Manning's
plans and their approval by council.
The Luther R. Kelker park is a
tract of nearly ten acres just east of
the borough and was presented to the
borough by Mr. Kelker several years
ago. Mr. Mannings plan will be so
drawn that eventually the Kelker
park and a tract of land near the res
ervoir may both be joined by drives
and this parkway connected with Har
risburg's park system toy a driveway
near the poorhousc lane.
