HE QIIESTIOH OF
ROOM FORARBUMENT
Before County and Mr. Detweiler
Discuss Madness of Dogs They'll
Go Into Reasons For Discussion

MHISHIi °' whether or not
I Kir IB mad dogs roam
around singly or in
MWMHI a crowd of Ave
when they want to bite calves, they'll
have to argue before the Dauphin
county court as to whether or not
there is even room for argument.
That new phase of the story of the
calf biting expedition of a quintet of
alleged mad dogs developed yesterday
when Victor Braddock, counsel for
Mr. Detweiler filed a demurrer to the
commissioners* answer to his suit for
a claim of $l6O a few weeks ago. The
$l6O represents what Detweiler says
has slain calves are worth. The com
missioners denied their responsibility
on the ground that mad dogs do not
chase around in a crowd when they go
In for calf-chewirig —that they always
act singly. Ordinarily this grave prob
lem would have been threshed out In
argument when the question of the
permanency of a preliminary man
damus obtained by Detweiler against
the commissioners to pay the $l6O
was before the court. Detweiler's lat
est move, however, continues the case
until the regular argument court, Oc
tober 12. In demurring, he says the
question of how many dogs isn't be
fore the commissioners, that question
has been settled by the auditor legally
bound to make his return. The audi
tor says five mad dogs killed the
calves. Attorney Braddock contends,
and all that remains for the commis
sioners to do Is to pay the money and
not argue as to whether mad dogs
operate alone or in bunches of five.

Amy " * f

- is the latest thing ill conservative bathing costumes, and it or
something like it is being worn at the beaches where society congregates
this summer. Both a rubber hat and a dog must go with it to make it
complete. The dog. a Boston bull, is not the kind of a dog that likes the
water. But there isn't much chance of his being compelled to go into it.
The lady who wears this kind of a costume on the beach does not expect
to go in the water.
It is made of black taffeta, trimmed with a white silk collar and ves
tee. The skirt yoke is cut intto van Dyke points. It is full and knee length
and is trimmerl with steel buttons. The bathing hat is of black and white
rubberized satin.

HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH
IVY POISONS 5,001)
RERE EACH SUMMER
Don't Be a City "Rube" and Stop
to Admire the Gloss Green
of the Torment
Five thousand cases of ivy poison
ing make a summer—in Harrisburg
and make it deucedly uncomfortable
while they're about it. Ivy poisoning
is one of the tortures they used In the
Spanish inquisition. The open season
is between June and September. The
chief victims are the poor innocents
from the big city who venture with
amazing fearlessness into the lurking
pitfalls of the country.
They see a beautiful vine of glossy
green that any farmer's boy would pass
in a wide circle. But the city-bred
"rubes" stoop to admire it, and not
long after begin to itch. They realize,
when the torment is well under way,
that they have ivy poisoning.
All persons are not susceptible to ivy
poisoning. Some can roll in poison ivy
and raise not a single blister. Others
acquire the disease without actual con
tact. The wind blowing in their direc
tion from an ivy clump may put 'em
nors oe combat for a week or more.
Technically, ivy poisoning is an in
flammation of the akin produced by
poisoned plants. The symptoms are un
mistakable. First comes a slight red
.swelling. Then tiny white blisters in
sinuate themselves.
If the victim doesn't know he has ivy
poisoning, or if he does know it but
is ignorant cf the proper course to take
ho scratches a bit. I* he doesn't sus
pect poison ivy, he probably complains
about fleas. •
As he scratches the Itching spreads,
and gradually the Irritation Is carried
to all parts of the body by auto-inocu
latlon. The sufferer begins to feel like
a man in a fiery furnace. His skin is
red and swollen. co> ntless thousands
of tiny vesicles and blebs appear.
Sometimes from the arch of the foot
extending upward to the scalp the poi
son spreads. If it goes far enough, it
may close the patient's eyes. The con
stant itching is like a witch's curse
It is continuous torment, and often
means sleepless nights.
There are numerous so-called cures.
Among the favorite remedies are fluid
extract of grlndelia robusta, fluid ex
tract of serpentarla, hyposulphite of
sod.um. and a mixture of lime water,
oxide of zinc and 'carbolic acid. Some
people soak the affected parts with a
solution of epsom salts containing a
few drops of carbolic acid. Another
course is to prick each blister, press
out the contents, and paint with tinc
ture of iodine.
Both poison ivy and sumac belong to
the rhus genus, and are confused con
tinually with harmless plants like the
' Irginla creeper. Poison ivy or poison
oak is a woody, trailing shrub, which
climbs in thickets, along fences, rocks
or trees, or runs along the ground in
the grass, from Maine to Florida. It
dlers from the Virginia creepr in hav
ing three leaflets instead of five, and
these are peculiarly green and glossv
as though waxed. They are from two to
four inches long and are variously
notched. In autumn It assumes bril
liant colors.
The poisonous sumac grows in
swampy places from Florida to Canada
and westward to Louisiana. It is a
tr ee-llke shrub six to thirty feet high,
and differs in that respect from the
trailing ivy. The long, pinnate leave»
have from seven to thirteen smooth
glossy leaflets on red petioles, and
have unbroken margins. The loose,
grape-like bunches of silver gray ber
ries are also visible in winter, and cause
poisoning, as they are frequently pick
ed for ornament
BIG CROWDS WAIT TO
SEE CIRCUS PARADE
Trains and Wet Grounds Delay
Start of Jones Brothers' Pro
cession; Two Shows
Circus fans, old and young, waited
almost to the giving up point to-day
to see the Jones Brothers' aggrega
tion on parade. They lost only time
by waiting, and that loss was fully
made up in the numerous special fea
tures offered.
This was the first visit of the Jones
Brothers' circus to Harrisburg, and it
will not soon be forgotten by the
owners. They came from Reading,
where two big crowds attended.
Trains were late in getting to Harris
burg. Then came the trouble of fixing
up an entirely new lot. The circus
pitched its tents at Fourth and Seneca
streets. Time was lost in getting up
the big tops and preparing for the free
street parade.
It was noon when the procession
started from the grounds. Along the
route crowds lined the curbs. It was
nearly 1 o'clock when the big band
I wagon followed by many open cages
showing wild and ferocious lions,
hyenas and leopards, reached Market
Square. It was a glittering proces
sion. Something now was the fa
mous elephant Dungu Din, the only
rein driven elephant in the world.
The performance this afternoon
started at 2:30. The show itself was
all that was promised. The big tent
was thronged with a crowd that an
ticipated no more than it received,
from the Wallet troupe of wire walk
ers to the herd of educated elephants,
most wonderfully trained by the mas
ter trainer, Cheerful Gardner. Hair
raising feats were performed by bare
back riders on beautiful horses and all
were delighted with the pretty act by
Mrs. Ducander and her waltzing ponv.
Another performance will be given at
8:15 to-night.

dential adviser to President Wilson on
Mexican affairs.
Oppose Madero Man
Herbert Gomez, head of a delegation
of Carranza supporters which arrived
here to-day called on each of the six
Latin-American diplomats and in
formed them that General Carranza
under no circumstances would submit
to the selection of a member of the
Madero cabinet as provisional presi

Americans intended to enter it with
open minds to hear President Wilson's
plan which they in turn will submit to
their governments for consideration
before further action is taken.
MISSING CANOEISTS FOUND
Bodies of Scranton Couple Who Dis
appearcd Sunday Taken From River.
Special to The Telegraflx
Scranton, Pa.. Aug. s.—Floating in
the swollen waters of the Susque
hanna River, six miles apart, the
bodies of Florence Ross and Earl
Thomas, canoeists, missing since Sun
day night, were found to-day. The
finding of the bodies dissipates the
mystery surrounding their disappear
ance. Many persons thought the
couple had eloped, as their canoe was
found right side up and containing the
cushion and the girl's umbrella. Just
how they lost their lives will never be
known, but it is believed they tried
to make a landing in the dark and
misstepped.
BENTLEY D. ACKLEY TO BE
WAN A MAKER'S SECRETARY
Philadelphia, Aug. s.—Bentley D.
Ackley, former secretary to "Billy"
Sunday, announced yesterday that he
left the evangelist in order to become
private secretary to John Wanamaker.
Mr. Wanamaker was interested in
making peace between Sunday and
his secretary when the break in their
friendship occurred a few months ago,
and it is said that when Sunday held
out the olive branch to Ackley and
made him an offer to return as his
secretary Mr. Wanamaker advised
Ackley to decline.
In a statement issued in Scranton,
where he is spending the summer,
Ackley declared that he left the Sun
day party bcause of financial matters.

quantity of "Louie" Pops, a lollypop
confection made in his own kitchens.
All day an eager crowd of children

of his hospitality. Some idea of the
crowds may be had from the illustra
tion which is published in this paper.

WARSAW FALLS SAYS
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
[Continued from First Pa#e.]
here would mean the early losa of
Dvinsk, a m.ost important Junction of
the Petrograd-Warsaw railroad.
Desperate battles still are prevail
ing along the Narew river with the
Germans meeting the stonewall of the
Russian defense, except at a point
near Ostrolenka, where they forded
the river, captured several thousand
prisoners and forced the Russians
back to the outer defenses on the
northern front of the fortress of
Lonza. Prince Leopole and his Ba
varians are now before Warsaw, Ber
lin claiming that the Russians have
been thrown from the Blonie line into
the outer defenses of that fortress,
•which brings them 14 miles to the
westward of the Polish capital.
Berlin reports the Germans have
occupied the western portion of Ivan
gorod fortress, but Petrograd claims I
ithat the Ivfcngorod-Warsaw railroad 1
1 still is open.
Comparative quiet prevails on the j
western front and in the minor battle
fields.
Turk Craft Destroyed
A significant phase of the near
eastern operations which has passed
almost unnoticed is revealed in the
announcement from Petrograd of the
destruction of almost 900 Turkish
craft in the Blck Sea by a Russian
torpedoboat flotilla. More than 800
of these vessels were sailing ships
which had been built to carry sup
plies from the Anatolian coast. The
persistence of the Turks in building
these ships, despite their continued

London Press Comments
on Blockade Controversy
London, Aug. s.—While the news
papers generally treat the blockade
controversy as a question in the set
tlement of which Great Britain and
the United States are certain to ar
rive at a friendly understanding the
Chronicle in an editorial declares the
stand of President Wilson entirely In
consistent with American precedents.
"Rotterdam, though Dutch, is a
port for Westphalia and the Rhine
land, the greatest German manufac
turing district," says the Chronicle.
"Is it reasonable to ask that sea
borne trade to and from this district
should be absolutely unhampered
while Germany not only claims the
right to destroy any ship and cargo
on its way to any port in the British
Isles but has exercised that right by
destroying wi'h submarines some 200
British and neutral vessels? Surely
not."
The Times "regrets to learn that
America and Great Britain still are
at odds over the British 'blockade' of
Germany."

Of READING AND OWNING BOOKS
[New York World.]
Hamlin Garland, a writer of books,
is growing discouraged over the fail
ure of the American people to buy and
read new books. The current. he
thinks, is against the writers of books,
Hnd he assigns as a reason for this de
cline in the reading habit that "one
cannot maintain a collection of books
together with a singing machine and an
automobile."
Among other things that are driv
ing books out of the household and
breaking up the reading habit where
such a habit may formerly have flour
ished, Mr. Garland mentions the "10-
cent broad-sheet magazine." the dally
newspaper, which we always have with
us, and which is a necessity of cltv
life, and chiefly, perhaps, the volumin
ous Sunday newspaper, with enough
reading matter to last the ordinary
reader who attempts to read it all until
the next issue arrives."
Of course, as Byron says, "a book's
a hook, although there's nothing ln't"
and books of that kind readers do well
to leave on the hands of the publish
ers or the authors. But the book that
Is worth while. In the end generally is
recognized. It gets "the fit audience
though few" whose voice is fame, and
if fame and not dollars Is the ambition
of the author, he need not be discour
aged,
