    There's a Worthy Suit to
Suit Every Man
From the extreme English model to win the favor of the

the conservative model for the business man whose taste is

WORTHY CLOTHES AT

In materials there is a wide variety to meet the peculiar j
taste of the individual. Leadership is taken by the GENUINE j
GLEN URQUHART PLAIDS, which come in for the greatest !
amount of favor. Then, too, there are the smart checks, the j
plain blue serges, and those with pin and chalk stripes—always
stylish—always popular.
Special to Young Men!
Wo take pleasure In announcing the arrival today of some strik

1,000 Wagonloads of Rubbish
Removed; Work on Uptown
Districts
Falling before the vigorous on
slaught of housewives in the West End
yesterday, strongholds of dirt and
refuse were completely routed and to
day "Clean-Up Week" entered the
homestretch.
Approximately 1,000 wagonloads of
rubbish, including garbage, have been
removed. Dead animals, broken furni
ture, mattresses, tin cans and dis
carded articles figure prominently
among the junk. To-day's attack fell
In the district between Verbeke and
Kelker streets.
Officials of the City Health Depart
ment have no doubt that the municipal
housecleaning will be more successful
than last year. The start was made
several weeks later than formerly, giv
ing the housekeepers an opportunity
to clean their houses inside before
starting on the outside.
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, said to-day that there is no
doubt that "Clean-Up Week" will be
finished well within the allotted time.

By Associated Press
Warsaw, Russian Poland, May 7, via
London, 11.20 A. M.—A detailed report
of the desperate situation prevailing
to-day in the mining district of West

Germans, has been received by the
Rockefeller commission which was or

buckwheat, from S6O to $125, and peas,
from S6O to $250. Before the war a
ton of straw cost $210; in January It
brought $612, and the price of oats
has Increased 500 per cent.

Drink and Tax Question
Discussed by Cabinet
By Associated Press
London, May 7.—The cabinet con
sidered the drink and tax questions at
a long meeting yesterday.
According to the Daily Mail, it was
derided to abandon entirely the pro
posals now before parliament and a
new alternative proposed by Chan
cellor Lloyd-George was favorably re
ceived.
In place of a graduated surtax on
strong beers the chancellor recom
mends a rearrangement of the existing
taxes, lessening the tax on the lighter
brews and increasing It on the heavier,
but without any alteration in the aver
age of the existing taxes.
The chancellor seeks to handicap
the retail sale of liquor Ijy putting a
tax on spirits according to their age.
The cabinet also considered a pro
posal to prohibit altogether the sale of
spirits which have not been in bono
for at least three years.
The entire abolition of the new taxes
on wnies, it is reported, is probable.

READY TO START ON
PARK DEVELOPMENT
Big Force of Volunteers Will Help
on Kelker Tract; Schools to
Turn Out in Force
With Warren H. Manning, the Bos
ton landscape architect, on the job and
members of the Municipal League of
Steelton at work, plans for to-mor
row's field day exercises, which will
formally start the development of the
Luther R. Kelker Park, are rapidly
rounding out.
From all indications there will be a
big force of volunteers on hand early
in the morning to tackle the work.
Principal C. S. Davis, of the High
school, chairman of the committee in
charge, this morning invited the school
boys to co-operate. So much interest
in the park development was shown
by the students that more than 100
boys from the High school and Cen
tral grammar school offered their ser
vices. This small army of youthful
workmen will bring their lunches with
them and spend a large part of the
day In Kelker Park.
Early this morning several addi
tional teams and a big motor truck
were placed in service to transport the
slag that will cover the drives and
walks, from the steel works to the
park. The truck was loaned by H.
A. Hartman and extra teams were
loaned by the United Ice and Coal
Company, and the Steelton Transfer
Company.
Mr. Manning, in company with
members of the Municipal League,
went over the park tract to-day and
marked out a number of walks. He
also designated the trees that are to
be removed, the ones that are to be
trimmed and the location of new trees.
The Held day exercises will com
mence to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock
if the weather permits. The Munici
pal League has invited every one to
help in the work.
Afternoon to Be Reserved
For Local Sunday Schools
Plans for a Sunday school after
noon at the Hillis tabernacle next
Wednesday are being formulated.
Members of all the co-operating Sun
day schools will meet at the tabernacle
at 3 o'clock. Although the committee
is considering a big street demonstra
tion, no definite plans have been an
nounced.
Mrs. C. E. Hillis preached to a large
audience last night on "God's Value
of the Individual." The session was
a strong plea for personal work.
"The tendency to-day," declared the
evangelist's wife, "as evidenced by
various sects, is to exact a doctrine
instead of preaching the gospel of sal
vation. The proof of the value of
any sect is whether they are trying to
save souls."

There Are More Than Dollars and
Cents Behind the Purpose of
Good Clothes Making
ft IROM the first inspiration of the designer to the last stitch
IJc I of the tailor, BOWMAN CLOTHES undergo a process
fSSgj of exactness through which every detail must measure up
ISE 51 to the standard—and that is the best.
Good tailoring shows in the appearance—in the fit, which
means ease and comfort; in the workmanship, which assures long
and satisfactory service.
Style Is Not Merely a Temporary
Achievement of the Flat Iron
Altogether, it is a result of first class designers employed by
the makers, and the good tailoring that follows.
Fabric plays its part, for without the firmly woven, depend
able kinds, much of the effect is lost.
And in all, BOWMAN CLOTHES are moderately priced:
$9.90, $12.50, sls, S2O
We are confident that every man can choose a suit at one of
these figures, for Tye have here, one of the smartest assortments of
everything new and stylish for the men folks.
Plaids in a large variety of the most popular patterns.
Shades that are most desired.
Conservative models for quiet dressers.

issued a proclamation calling for a
general observance of the day. It fol
lows:
Whereas throughout the world,
and especially in this nation and
state, and even more particularly
in this our borough of Steelton,
an honored motherhood should he
found, and principle, duty, grati
tude and affection should bind us
closely to the mothers who bore
us for the world. It behooves us to
give expression to that consid
eration and esteem by an outward
and visible sign:
Therefore. I, Fred Wlgfield, bur
gess of Steelton, do designate the
white carnation as that sign, and
on Slay 9th, Mothers' Day, re
quest that every one. mant woman
and child, shall wear this sign as
a symbol of love to his own
mother and an offering of respect
to even' other mother.
Given under my hand and seal
this thirtieth day of April, A- D
