I BARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SUGGESTS FORD FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT Councilman Henderson Thinks Cops Should Have It For Emergency Calls Steelton cops will soon have a chance to go joy riding In a Ford. The borough council Intends to buy a car for the poUce department Just as soon as' sufficient money Is avail able. No less person than E. C.

It ha£ been suggested that instead of an other patrolman, council could em ploy a motorcycle officer. But now Mr. Henderson comes for ward with the jitney suggestion. The little car would be superior to a motor cycle officer, he points out, because it could be used to haul In prisoners. Steelton Snapshots Off to 'Frisco. Councilman and Mrs. T. J.

Will Dedicate New Play ground Gateway During Celebration Enroute over the city's park and playground system September 23, the great automobile train bearing tho Chamber of Commerce and other prominent men and women who have figured In the history in Harrisburg's fifteen odd years of public Improve ments, will make a brief stop at the Twelfth street playgrounds, to attend the exercises Incident to the dedica tion of the Dr. William Harrison Jones memorial entrance. The train is due to reach there Just in time to take in part of a celebra tion, which—while having no direct bearing on the 3-day observance In which a whole city will participate, will not be without Its significance In the story of municipal Improvements. Dr. Jones ou First Committee Dr. Jones was a member of the first general committee appointed 'way back in 1901 by the Board of Trade to arrange for the mass meeting of citizens which launched the city's pub lic Improvement campaign. Primarily the purpose of the big inspection trip via automobile train is to show the Chamber of Commerce and all the other* who have had in anyway, a part in the story of Harris burg's public improvement program, what has been accomplished in fifteen odd years. Incidentally the big group of citi zens who had subscribed to the fund to provide a memorial to Dr. Jones, expected to formally dedicate the en trance and fountain to the Twelfth street playgrounds sometime next month after it was finally decided when Twelfth street would be visited by the train. James M. Auter and Herman Hahn were appointed as a special committee to arrange with Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, park superintendent, to map out the dedi catory program in such a wav that the exercises could be held about the time the Inspection train would ar rive. The Memorial The memorial to Dr. Jones will add materially to the beauty of the play grounds. Originally it had been de cided to Install Just a fountain but estimates were obtained by the park commissioner and when he discovered that the formal entrance with benches, etc. could be placed within the sum that had been subscribed, he suggested that the tribute to the noted colored physician take this form instead of a fountain only. And the committee readily agreed to the plan. Work on the formal entrance and the erection of the fountain will be started In the near future so that the new gateway to the playgrounds can be finished in ample time. In the meantime the arrangements for the program will be completed. Celebration Committees Hard at Work on Plans Committees In charge of arrange ments for the municipal celebration will have a busy week. Starting to morrow night with a meeting of the committee on "merchants' night" pro gram, there will be meetings almost d«ily. Chairman A. E. Buchanan, of the merchants' committee, to-day sent out a circular letter to 300 businessmen. He calls attention to the fact that "merchants' night" will be Thursday, September 23, and says: The undersigned has been ap pointed chairman of the commit tee whose duty it will be to co operate with you to make your participation in the celebration not only a source of pleasure and pride to you, but to greatly in crease your preatige as an up-to date establishment without any unusual expense. Our plans for your participa tion in the merchants' opening night will be laid before you at a * meeting in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, Kunkel building, at 8 p. m. Tuesday, Au gust 31, to which you are cor dially invited. Your attendance at the meet ing on Tuesday night is requested so that you can secure first-hand and accurate information as to the opportunities the improve ment celebration will give the merchants for benefiting their business. No obligation of any sort will be assumed by those who attend, but the free discussion of mer chants- opening night by the live wires will result in it being the greatest part of the celebration. Reception Committee M eft in? Chairman Donald McCormick, of the committee on reception, expects to call a meeting of his committee for Thursday at the rooms of the Harris burg Chamber of Commerce. His committeemen are as follows: Andrew No such thing as "rubber roofing". A lot of manufacturers call their roofing "Rubber Roofing,"''Rubberine,""Rub beroid"—Rubber-this and Rubber-that. The life is all out of rubber if exposed to the daylight for six months. It would be silly to put rubber in roofing, and rubber cost* more per pound than roofing sells for for a hundred pounds.

Be glad that all the cummon Joys May come to every heart. The cheerful heart is always best, B'or sweet contentment strive. Be glad for health, for friends to love; Be glad to be alive! —Lena B. Eliingwood in Farm and Home. BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE A thought that is winged from friend to friend Doesn't seem such a wonderful thing; Yet It carries the prayer for a Joy without end, And it throbs with a big friendly ring. A mere word of cheer, in the shadow ' of night, When discouragement darkens the way. Will Illumine our hearts with the glor. ious light Of a hopeful and sun-brightened day. A bright, cheery smile often gives uj the strength That we lack in the vortex of strife, For it lightens our load as we travel the length Of the care-laden path we call Life. So we find, after all, that the things we thought small Loom colossal above all the host; That the best of God's gifts are the friends we can call To our side when we need them ths most. —Houston Post. 7
