MILITARY TRAINING THERE is a rising sentiment throughout the country in favor of teaching the boys of the United States the rudiments of military science. Many thoughtful men of affairs are urging preparedness as the beet security of peace. Some years ago the Telegraph was instrumental, through the late James H. Worden, then president of the School Board, in having military instruction included in the high school curriculum. The or ganization of the High School Cadets was partially completed, but the physical instructor had absolutely no Interest in the work and permitted the corps to disband. , There is now talk of organizing cadets at both the Central and Tech nical high.schools along the line of the High School Cadets of Washing ton, D. C. It is believed the great students' military camp at Plattsburg is having a tremendous influence in rpreading the sentiment for military f raining among the youth of the land. There are now at Plattsburg over 600 university, college and high school boys, representing all the big edu cational institutions, who are being put through the paces by officers of the United States Army under the direction of the War Department. Fol lowing the instructions of the college boys and when their camp ends, Au gust 8. one thousand businessmen from New York. Philadelphia and elsewhere will go into camp for a month for similar training. Harrisburg has always maintained a high place for efficiency in the com * panies of the National Guard and mili tary training of the boys of the two high schools of the city would be bene ficial in many ways. THE ASPHALT REPAIR PLANT CITY COMMISSIONER LYNCH is demonstrating the utility of the new city asphalt plant in the making of substantial and compre hensive repairs of the paved streets throughout the city. There has been general commendation of the char-1 acter of the work thus far done and j |t Is understood that Mr. Lynch will i have all the repairs out of the way before the summer is far advanced. Harrisburg bids fair soon to regain her reputation as "the best paved city in the country" and the asphalt repair plant is fast justifying the outlay re quired. LIGHT THE RIVER FRONT IT is expected that some arrange ment will be made with the Harris burg Light and Power Company to establish the light standards along the "front steps" of Harrisburg between Maclay street and the southern boun dary of the city before the September celebration, Much progress has been made in the preparation of the river frcnt for the big event\already and during the next two months everything will be put in readiness for the great event of the autumn. SACRIFICE ANI) REFORM WHY is it that some such great sacrifice as that which marked the capsizing of the Eastland in the Chicago river on Saturday must precede every reform in transporta tion methods? it required the Slocum disaster with its loss of hundreds of lives to make travel safe on excur sion steamers in the East, and the New Haven and Hartford . railroad wiped out scores of lives before a cor rection of the evil responsible there for was brought about. And now the Eastland goes over with its load of human freight and becomes a watery tomb to emphasize the wickedness of over-crowding and the use of unrelia ble boats. Every. Sunday this summer the Pennsylvania railroad has run a boat excursion out of Baltimore from points along the main line and hundreds have been disappointed because when the tickets sold at the various stations reach the limit of the boat's capacity no more fares are permitted to be sold. Were the passenger officials greedy for gain at the expense of safety they might over-sell every week and "take a chance" of getting through safely. How much better had those responsible tor the Eastland looked & TUESDAY EVENING, i little more to their passengers and less Ito the profits they hoped to make. REI) CROSS RETIREMENT THE announcement that the forces of the American Red Cross will be withdrawn from Europe at the beginning of October because of lack of funds to maintain them longer will be received in this country with regret. These units on mercy bent have accomplished wonders in prac tical relief: they have represented the people of this great nation with uni form credit and satisfaction and they have cemented friendships on both sides of the line which is dividing the people of Europe in a way that is bound to be of the utmost benefit when the time comes to restore conditipns to normal and resume the ordinary in ternational intercourse of peace. War has entailed immense expense upon the people of this country, but in this great conflict all the noncom batant nations as well as the bellig erents have been compelled to pay, and nowhere has the outlay been made more willingly than in this country. Next to feeding the Belgians, which became our special task, no outlay has given us greater satisfac | tion than that which was ekpended I upon the activities of the American Red Cross, and it really does seemthat [ some extraordinary effort should be made to continue this work as long as it is needed. There is no present prospect of an early end of the war. On the other hand, the military situation and the financial situation indicate that it will be a long drawn out and stubborn af fair. These dismal indications, o£ course, may be dispelled suddenly by some dramatic turn, but wise people will place little hope in such a possi bility. And the longer a war con tinues the greater is the need of the kind of sanitary and hospital work that the American Red Cross has been carrying on. DON'T CALL AN AUTO NAMES SOMEBODY called a New York man's automobile a "flivver" and was shot for his pains. Now, aside from the fact that Webster and the other authorities are silent as to the meaning of the word "flivver," we have heard men call their own cars worse things than we imagine the flivverest flivver that ever flivvered could possible be in its flivveriest mood. This, then, appears to be an other case of a man reserving the right to say things of himself and his own that he will not permit another to say concerning the same. Everybody knows that the man who "cusses"., his watch for a "turnip" eleven times a day will solemnly swear to a friend that there never was a watch made like it, and the same ap plies to automobiles. Approach the owner 'of the most rattle-go-bang old gasoline consumer that clutters the highway and he will ta:s by the hour of its virtues, its speed and the enormous mileage he gets from a gal lon of gas. He may intend to sell the thing to a junk man on the morrow, but do not presume on that account to take any liberties with it or reflect on its qualities. The better way is to say nothing, or if you. feel called upon to express an opinion tell him its the "best llttie car for its price on the market." You may be lying, and you may know you are lying, but thereby you lay up a future invitation to go riding with the aforesaid owner and otherwise he may d'o to you what the New York man did to the man who called his machine a "flivver." Take no chances with an automobile fiend. THAT TIN BASIN IF you were raised to wash your i face at the hydrant, don't marry | into a finger bowl fajnily." says the j Galveston News, and the Kansas City Star comments thereon in this wise: The idea and the advice are good, but the "hydrant" touch spoils them. ■A hydrant never 'helped to raise anybody. What the Galveston Earagrapher had in the back of his ead was an old cistern or well, a bench on the back porch, a tin wash basin, and plenty of room to blow water and yellow soapsuds about four yards all ways. Honest, now, if you were fortu nate enOugh to be raised like that, and even if you think you have been graduated into the finger bowl and marble bathroom class, have you ever had a "wash" since then that equalled that old-time kind? That was a wash as was a wash. You could splash and sput _ ter with infinite satisfaction, you could swab your hair till it stood up in s-listening spikes, or lay down in dripping tails. You could drive all the grime clear back of your ears, and let it stay there, and glow with facial virtue. You could mop your face and your hair and take a pass at your ears and neck and be ready for breakfast or bed, con scious of health, conscious of your ever strict regard for etiquet and propriety. The editor of the Star unquestion ably has been there. In the language ol the SibletOwn Bard, ''them was the happy days." But there was a rift in the lute, a fly in the ointment, even in these halcyon times of the kitchen bench, the tin wash basin and the "family" towel. The Star man does net go back quite far enough. He purposely omits, or his memory fails. It doubtless has been a long time (but he must recollect it) since his mother summoned him to the back porch at bedtime to "wash those black bare fc-et." You remember it? Of course, you do. You had been swimming three times that day and you had had a perfectly good "soap and'water ' bath tho Saturday before, and you couldn't see any sense in scrubbing your feet at a time when you were too tired to desire anything but to go to sleep. But you had to do it just the same. And it had to be a thorough scrubbing, too. Even the red paint that splashed on your legs when you upset Painter Smith's hucket while playing tag around Mr. Brown's stable had to come off. And it was only after a careful inspection that those bare legs were permitted between the cool, clean sheets that mother had turned down for them. Perhaps the tin wash basin was. and is. an unmixed bless ing when considered merely as a means of separating one's face from a day's accumulation of midsummer dust, but we have not yet reached an age where the nightly footbath of our youth ap pears in any other light than that of a relic of the Spanish Inquisition, folitici U ""PeKJuoi^cuvta i By the Ex-Commlttoeman Admirable as Is the German press bureau work in the United States, it has nothing on the A. Mitchell Palmer bureau. The latter seems to have ramifications to any point where the patronage dispensing power of the na tion happens to be. The other day when the President was in Washing ton for a few hours on very important business place had to be made on the press wires for stories from that city regarding A. Mitchell Palmer and the job in the State Department which A. Mitchell Palmer himself says he has asked no one for. The President is now back in Cornish and from that quiet Xew England point the A. Mitchell Palmer stories continue to come. And they are always the same. The Presi dent has not made up his mind about the counselorship in the Department of State, but "A. Mitchell Palmer, of I Pennsylvania, is expected to get the nosition." A. Mitchell Palmer may not Have asked either the President nor Secretary Lansing for this appoint ment, but it is a fair assumption that he will be very much disappointed if he does not get it. And a great many , people, including eminent members of | his own party, will heave a prodigious sigh of relief when A. Mitchell Palmer is linully taken care of in a way satis factory to himself. There are times when doling out the pie must bore Mr. Wilson almost to distraction. It is beginning to be generally ac cepted in Philadelphia that Governor Brumbaugh really will not take a hand in the mayoralty muddle. It is pointed out that his vacation in Maine, which will be broken by a brief visit to the camp of the Second brigade of the State guard, will last until August 24, and that it will be followed immedi ately by the trip to the Panama- Pacific Exposition, which will keep the Governor out of the State until the eve of the primaries on September 21. ' Pittsburgh is keeping tabs on the talk about calling Into existence the investigating commission authorized by the last Legislature to inquire into municipal conditions e\en though Gov ernor Brumbaugh did veto the appro priation to pay for ite expenses. It is felt in the big town at the other end 01 the State that if this commission actually gets going its broad powers and the state of politics out there make it almost certain that it will take a look at Pittsburgh liefore It <*! Oses its career. Senator Penrose was accorded a most cordial reception during his visit yesterday to Watsontown, where ho made an address last evening at the armory of the Patriotic Order Sons of America. No reference was made to politics in the address, which was a pJea for adequate national defenses. The Senator went to Watsontown in his new automobile and passed through this city, although he did not stop. At Sunbury he was met bv a party consisting of State Senator W. C. McConnell. Judge Fred B. Moser, Judge L ; H. Walter, of Mount Carmel, and W. F. Shay, of Watsontown. At a re ception which was held at the Man sion House hundreds of citizens from every part of the upper end of North umberland county called to pav their respects. The slump in the Washington party enrollment has not discouraged the faithful who hold forth in Bucks county, and it has been decided to put a full ticket in the field this Fall. Hugh B. Eastburn, Jr., of Bristol, has been elected county chairman; S. B. Dfnlinger, Doylestown, secretary, and Walter Cogan, Doylestown, treasurer. Up to the present nothing has been heard from Pike county, the home of Gifford Pinchot, on the question of plans for this year's election. Wilson A. Deily, for a long time an examiner of the Philadelphia Civil Service Commission, and at present acting chief examiner, has been given permanent appointment to the latter position. He stood fourth among those who took the examination for the place, but in view of his familiarity with the duties and the fact that the j three who stood above him were not residents of Philadelphia, the commis sion decided to give him the place. Yesterday was an off day in the Philadelphia mayoralty situation. None of the leaders had anything to say, so the gossips made a great deal out of the fact that Senator Penrose has accepted an invitation to attend a din ner to be given in the furtherance of the boom for Representative J. Hamp ton Moore at the Rittenhouse, Au gust 5. There does not seem to be much significance in that, however The political dinners in Philadelphia so far this year have been almost fatal to the candidacies they were organized to boom at»d the absence of political speechmaking has been their most noticeable characteristic. f~T£LE(jRAPH PERISCOPE —The Orduna is off again.

SEEMED EFFICACIOUS [From the Philadelphia Telegraph.] In a city boardinghouse some time ago the guests were working away at the evening meal when Mr. Jones broke through the din of clattering knives and forks. "I was reading of a new cure this morning," he -remarked, glancing around the table. "It seems that you take off your shoes and stockings and walk barefooted " "What do you think of that cure, Mr. Jones?' eagerly interrupted the landlady, who had also read the story. "Do you really think that walk ing barefooted through grass will make one strong and healthy?" "Well," smiled Mr. Jones, strenu ously trving to cut a piece of meat, "it seems to have made this beef pretty tough."

Cities everywhere are encouraging birds to nest in the pub lic parks. Superintendent M. Harvey Taylor caused a "Bird Hotel" to be built in Wildwood Park and next year will have other boxes scattered about. How the idea is working out in New York is set forth in the New York Telegram in the following article: "As the inaugural move of a wide spread campaign for luring back the little songbirds so rapidly disappear ing from the parks and suburbs of the city, the New York Zoological Park, with signboards and labels advising the birdlover where each model may be obtained and what birds are most likely to be attracted by it. The ex hibits as well as the methods and aims of the proposed campaign are describ ed in an elaborate article by Lee S. Crandall, assistant curator of birds of the society, in the organization's July bulletin. "Mr. Crandall makes it plain that if some remedial action is not taken in the near future the songbird is going to fors-ake New York, probably never to return. Persecution of the feather ed songster by man, the growing con gestion of *the outspreading city and the recently improved methods of for estry conservatism are given as the chief reasons for the state of affairs in this respect. Forestry Methods Blamed "The application of modern forestry methods, the assistant curator writes, has so trimmed the branches of the old orchards and so carefully removed all dead or decayed forest trees and insect harboring undergrowth "that many of our birds are hard pressed indeed to find a cranny in which to deposit their eggs or cover In which to search for food.' "As an instance of the growing bird scarcity, Mr. Crandall cites the red headed woodpecker, which was once common around New York City, but which is now rarely seen. A pair is nesting in the Zoological Park this Spring for the first time in many years. He concludes that since this condition was brought about by resi dents of New York it is incumbent on them to provide a remedy. This can he done through the widespread erec-| tion of shelter boxes and suet baskets, j "Mr. Crandall evinces a partiality in his article for what he calls the feed ing shelter type of box.

Another model described is what is known as the weather vane type, so constructed that its glass back is always to the wind, the 'lee ward side remaining an open invita tion to hungry birds.' Small Car, With Wheels "Among the other shelters of the park exhibit is . one of the portable class,consisting of a small car provided with small wheels which travel on a wire strung from a window to some convenient point, and another equip ped with an automatic feeder of the hopper type now used by poultry men. Mr. Crandall says that suet holders furnish the simplest and prob ably the best method for feeding in sectivorous birds, such as woodpeckers t and nuthatches. "According to the assistant curator the birds most likely to be attracted to food depots erected about New York are' the blue jay, the downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, flicker, nuthatch, brown creeper, chicadee, white throat sparrow, song sparrow, tree sparrow, junco, siskin, purple finch and possibly the cardinal and tufted titmouse. Woodpeckers and nuthatches he says will eat the suet chiefly, and blue jays will 'eat almost anything.' For finches a mixture of various seeds should be provided, such as sunflower, hemp, canary and mil let. IJits of dry bread and nut meats are relished by many birds. " 'There can be no doubt that suit ably placed birdhouses are a very po tent factor in the encouragement of birds,' runs an excerpt from the cam paign article. 'lf the locality is at all favorable and a little thought be given to construction, and especially to loca tion, it will be found that birds will take possession of them.- It is a strange fact that while birds will fre quently ignore elaborate structures, they often will unhesitatingly occupy the most unpromising cavities. Empty cans, old hats and the roughest of boxes seem to offer all that the home seeking bird desires. Hence it follows that any boy can build suitable bird .boxes for himself that are as likely to | be found acceptable as any others.' " 'Heiress to $30,000,000 Will Wed For Love \ * 1 f i 1 n /fv I | f'J . > M ' < ■-7 ■# J- lii i\ V * pV CATHERINE i BARKER Harbor Point, Mich., July 27.—This exclusive summer colony is to be the scene of one of the most elaborate weddings ever held in this country. On July 31 Miss Catherine Barker, said to be the wealthiest girl in the United States, will be married to How ard Spaulding, Jr., of Chicago. Miss Barker Inherited a fortune of $30,000,000 from her father, the late John H. Barker, noted car builder. She has an annual income of about $2,000,000. She is but 19 and the match Is said to be one of pure love. Miss Barker was 14 years old when she first met Mr. Spaulding, who is a son of a Chicago, jeweler, a Yale grad uate and an officer in the Haskell- Barker Company, of which her father was the head. Her mother died when she was 12 years old and six years later her father also died, leaving her his entire fortune. The couple have been engaged for more than a year. Miss Barker has been attending school in the East. They .have furnished a sumptuous apartment in Chicago, where they will live. iEtenittg (Eljat 'This has been the best growing season the gardeners and nursery men in the vicinity of Harrisburg has ever known," said O. P. Beckley. of the Berryhill Nursery. "Not only have the rains come along whenever a rain semed to be needed, but the dew has been exceptionally heavy and the plants "nave been covered with a moisture almost equal to a light rain nearly every morning this summer. Whereas last year we lost about 98 per cent, of the cuttings we set out, ™ this year about 98 per cent, grew and are thriving. But if the plants have grown, so have the weeds. We have never done so much 'chopping' as this summer, and still they con tinue to come." Gardens all about Harrisburg are as green as they or dinarily are in the middle of June and there are hundreds of lawns that have not had a drop of water since Spring other than which nature has given them. "Although snake stories in tho newspapers have fallen off consider ably in recent years," said an old resi dent of a nearby valley, "I know that there {ire just as many of the reptiles around now as there were in the old days. "During the last week I have been clearing a patch of weeds from one of my hillsides," he continued, "and I don't care if you believe it or not, I killed exactly nine rattlesnakes, one with twelve rattles; twelve copper heads, several house snakes and seven blowing vipers, and bl'acksnakes. X enjoy reading snake stories and I cer- Itainly do like to hear of big kills." An old rlverman who yesterday hoisted sail in the upriver wind and made Clark's Ferry 'with little trouble estimates that there are at least fifty camping • parties strung along the fifteen mile stretch of water. He said he found them on islands and along shores, "while many are camping along the Perry county shore, the majority are to be found on the islands and along the Dauphin side. At the Furnace there are a bunch of college boys from Lancaster, while near the Rockville bridge is a party from Liverpool. Near the Ferry 011 an island are another group of Lan caster county boys. The fellows cer tainly do travel good distances to en joy our river." "Anybody who doesn't think that advertising pays," said a buyer in ono of the city's big department stores tho other day, "should take a stroll through our store on a Friday morn ing." "You know we close at noon on Friday during the summer," went on the department head, '-and to increase sales volume on that day we usually offer a lot of bargains, announcing the special opportunities :n the news papers. The results are sometimes surprising even to those of us who believe in the power of paper and ink. Sometimes the clerks haven't time to take a deep breath, they're so busy. And believe me they are glad for the afternoon's/ vacation wnen the gongr rings at noontime." BURTON. OF OHIO [From the New York Sun.] Ohio, the fruitful mother of Presi dents and candidates for the Presi dency, has two Republican "possibili ties," Governor Willis and Mr. Herrick, the latter anproved By his wise and tactful service as Ambassador to France. If it be true that the Hon. Theodore Elijah Burton is about to an nounce his candidacy, Ohio and the Re publican party are to be Mr. Burton is an honor to both and Ts one of the best servants of the nation and guardians of the Treasury against extravagance. He is faithful to th« public Interest. He is especially fa miliar with questions of finance, busi ness, transportation and extension of our trade. Whatever be the fortunes of Mr. Bur ton's candidacy, if candidate he is to be, the man who saved $33,000,000 to the taxpayers on a single bill deserves a long gratitude and respect from his fellow citizens.

But every time X went out I managed to cut off A few strokes, till I figured That I had mastered golf. But, gee, the .other evening Again I wont to play; I topped the balls, I sliced them, A few I drove away. I made the worst score ever, And while I seldom wail At luck, I felt like putting My outfit up for sale. But everybody tells me. Who dabbles at the game. That with them very often Things happen quite the same. And after all, the real fun In any game comes to You if you beat it, while it Is trying to beat you.
