While very close to the tolerance al

"A city the slae of Harrisburg and
possessed of its variety of occupations
and professions should furnish a ro
tary membership of from 125 to 150.
"The average attendance has been
very creditable. It is far better to
'get together down here than to only
ising, "Shall We Know Each Other
j There.' Following reference to his
[visits to Williamsport, Reading Phila-
Wlelphia and other cities, the president
| thanked the members for their hearty
100-operation. He concluded as fol-
I lows.
I "Rotary is a process of continuous
j education. We learn to do by doing."
What now seems difficult seem to
.be easy. Rotary boosts business by
i teaching business. Over all Rotary
; portals is inscribed, 'No Business Riv

above the highest praise of its great
est m«n and those who nobly serve
Rotary get paid in coinage that sur
passes silver or gold.
"The year to begin this evening will
start with an advantage, not heretofore
experienced. We shall have the bene
fit of our fellowship and in addition
to that, the hallowing memory of one

CLAIM AMERICANS
HAVE FALSE PRIDE
Say They Prefer $1.50 "Clean Col
lar" Job to a Dirty One With
Twice the Money
About 50,000 o fthe 180,000 mine
workers in the anthracite coal re
gion of Pennsylvania are classed as
"Americans," but this figure includes
every employe born in this country
though many of their parents are for
eign and do not speak a word of
English. Nine sueprintendents in the
region state that Americans would
rather earn $1.50 a day at some "clean
collar" occupation than twice as much
in the mines. They attribute this to
the false pride of the Americans who
have come to look down on manual
labor.
"It takes more than one generation
to make a miner," said an old Welsh
foreman the other day, "and yet the
second generation born in America
invariably leaves the mines. The min
ers in this region are probably the
cleanest laboring men In the world.
They lake a thorough scrub every
day, and when you see them down
town in the afternoon in their out
door clothes you can't tell whether
they work in the mines or in a store.
But the American young man seems
to imagine that some sort of social
stigma attaches to the coal dust and
the dally bath.
Italian Laborers Predominate
"Who are the men who dig your ex
cavations and subways in the big cit
ies? Italians, mostly. The Irish used
to he willing to do It, but they no
longer are. In the mines It Is the
Slavs who are. doing the bulk of the
work. Roughly speaking, we have, be
side the 50,000 'Americans,' about
76,000 Slavs, 12,000 Italians, 11,500
Irish, 10,000 Austro-Hungarlans,
16,500 Welsh, 6,000 Germans, 6,000
English and 2.000 men of various
other nationalities.
i "Warfare is manual labor which re
quires great physical endurance.
Have you read of the great drives of
the Slavs with the bayonet? Look
out for the Italians. The Irish are ad
mittedly among the best soldiers in
the British army. Welsh and English
miners are practically excluded from
this country by our peculiar mine
laws, and the French miners are all
needeo at home. If willingness to
do manual labor is a fair standard, the
case looks good for the allies."
POINT ON POLITENESS
Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way."
We do not know who wrote it, but
that is the basis of all ettquette and
courtesy and gives you something to
go by when in doubt as to the proper
thing to do.
When you receive an invitation to
any social affair, no matter how In
formal, always acknowledge it, telling
your hostess whether or not you will
be able to come, and if not, why.
If you find that you will have to be
late, phone or let her know in some
way If possible, then when you arrive,
apologize for your tardiness.
When you leave express your enjoy
ment of the party and then at an early
date return the compliment, elther-vby
making ft party call or by asking her
to he your guest for any entertainment
Ui&t you see tit.—i'arrn Lal'e.

Confesses to Robberies
Philadelphia, June 2. A letter
found on William Householder from
his mother, Mrs. May Householder,
of Harrisburg. on his arrest for lar
ceny in this city, connects the young

the stolen tools.

the stolen tools, was found a letter
from his mother, warning him that
the Harrisburs police were looking

suitcase. Householder has spent
twenty-two months in the Hunting

[Neither the police department or
local aldermen know of any warrants
out for Householder. There is no
record of any robbery at 632 Broad
street. Inquiries at the house brought
the information that Householder
lived there himself, and no one knew
of any robbery.]

Both buttermilk and lemon juice
are excellent for taking off freckles.
Squeeze the juice from a lemon into

several times daily. Always use cold

this juice is also very effective. Slice
the cucumbers, peel and all, and sim
