Playground Work of the PubKc
Library Much Appreciated by
the City's Youngsters
The record of the playground work
of the staff of the Harriaburg Public
Library, which proved to be very effi
cient in taking books to the young
sters this summer, shows that the Ma
clay and Emerald playgrounds took
100 books and that the Sycamore
playground came next with 62.
The library staff visited ten of the
playgrounds, the work of the library
and its effort to place books within
the reach of all being explained by
Miss Eaton, the librarian, while Miss
Fair, in charge of children's work,
told the youngsters a number of
stories. In spite of rainy days the
greatest interest was manifested and
there was a big demand for children's
books.
The playground work, in which the
library staff was assisted by teachers,
will be a feature next summer.
Plaijs are now being discussed for
extension of the library work In the
city with the aid of the school au
thorities.
On Wednesday the library will re
sume Its winter schedule of hours and
■will be open from 11a. m. to 9 p. m.,
with a schedule of 9 to 9 on Saturdays.
During the summer months the library
has been open from 9 to 1 and from
4 to 9.
The library will be closed on Labor
Day.
THE MARRIED
WOMAN'S ALLOWANCE

difficult. if not impossible In many
cases, but It would at least operate as
a forceful suggestion to husbands.
Little Financial Protection
Notwithstanding the vaunted inde
pendence of American women, they
have yet less than
in some of the European countries
where marriage settlements are obli
gatory. While most men take pleas
ure as well as pride in giving their
wives independence, all have not yet
been educated to that standard. Legal
enactment is the means of providing
justice for the wives of the men who
do not voluntarily give them some
financial freedom. A few judges are
progressive enough to interpret the
spirit of the law rather than the let
ter as regards this subject.
In Tennessee a married women loses
control of the property she possessed
before her marriage. Her husband is
the legal manager of her estate and
can dissipate it if he will. Tet a Ten
nessee judge recently arranged that
the income from a farm inherited by
a woman before her marriage should
be under her own jurisdiction. The
husband is idle and worthless and has
wasted much of her property. The
court gave her the income of her
father's farm as an allowance for her

lutlug at Pine Grove Furnace.
support and that of her children.
Causes 50 Per Cent, of Divorces
It ts claimed that fully 50 per cent,
of the divorces of the United States
are due to the fact that the wife has
no allowance, no definite amount of
money she can call her own. No mat
ter how fervently a woman loves a
man, if she has been accustomed to
her own income before marriage, her
affection Is apt to diminish when she
has to beg for the means to supply
her own necessities. Men who have
been lavish in supplying candy and
flowers during the courtship some
times supply hats and dresses grudg
ingly after the honeymoon has waned.
Sociologists have been deploring the.
fact that educated women are fre
quently so loath to marry. Thts leaves
the responsibility for the future na
tion In the hands of women who are
less qualified to bear it. The definite
allowance for married women is be
ing recognized as a factor In over
coming this difficulty. Professional
economists are now advocating it and
are giving scientific study to the
proportion it should hold to the total
family income.
The allowance subject has been pre
sented in various phases in connec
tion with the domestic economy
courses which have become so nu
merous within the past ten years. Al
though in most of these studies, the
allowance has been for general house
hold administration rather than the
personal expenses of the wife, it is a
distinct gain over having her com
pelled to ask for money for each sepa
rate Item as is customary in many
households. Unfortunately euch
courses have until recently been at
tended only by girls who will have no
power in the matter and must accept
whatever provision their future hus
bands can be influenced to make.
Boys Should Be Trained, Too
The superintendent of schools in
North Dakota has recently recognized
the fact that boys as well as girls
should receive certain training In
home administration. The domestic
science teachers of the rural schools
have been directed to indicate the
work which men should be expected
to perform for the comfort of the
home. In Bismarck, courses in do
mestic economy have been provided
for the boys and girls in the high
school. During the present year lec
tures have been given upon the ap
portionment of the family income.
The wife's personal allowance has
been a feature strongly advocated so
that the Bismarck boys may be rea
sonably expected to become model
husbands of the future.
A club of Seattle High School girls
several years ago made a compact
not to marry without having a definite
allowance pledged to them before
hand. Two years later one of tbem
who had decided to marry a man of
considerable means. said to him
frankly, "I am worth sls a week to
my employers. I pay my mother $5
for my board which leaves me $lO for
m- own use. Are you willing to give
me that much after I am married
without my having to ask you for it?"
The man made the usual protestations
about all he had being hers but she
waived them and insisted upon a defi
nite allowance which added materially
to his respect for her good judgment.
All Do Not Want Allowances
It is a remarkable fact that all
women do not wish an allowance. Ac
cepting it places one under the re
sponsibility of keeping within it, an
achievement not easy for all women.
Many women prefer to buy what they
please and send the bills to their hus
bands. Others with extravagant tastes
prefer to wheedle their husbands out
of much larger sums than the allow
ance in keeping with their incomes.
In many families the income fluc
tuates and the setting aside of definite
allowances would be difficult although
sticklers for the percentage allowance
claim to overcome that difficulty.
While the need of a married woman's
allowance, in lieu of the marriage set
tlements of other nations, is frequently
urged, fixing it by law would be re
sented even by many women who need
it. It would be construed as a ty
rannic interference with private af
fairs which the majority of married
people must work out for themselves.
There are those who say of the
10 per cent, allowance that it would
be of vast economical benefit to the
majority of husbands because it may
be much less than the share of the
family income which the wife ordinar
ily spends for personal purposes.
While giving a woman a measure of
independence It might also thrust
upon her the necessity of economy.
CITY TO BEPLACED ON
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
(Continued From Page 1.)
greatest efTorts of his life were spent;
where his career* ended, and also
where the government is now erecting
a $8,000,000 marble memorial.
National Capital Detour
"I took up the subject in this way
with Mr. Joy, president of the Lin
coln Highway Commission, prepared a
memorial to be signed by the officers
and private men of this city, members
of both houses of Congress, and an
individual letter from President Wil
son. requesting that a detour be made
to Include the nation's capital.
"This the commission denied until
within the last few weeks. They now
consent to have the road from Phila-,
"EXPLORERS" AT PINE GROVE FURNACE
delphia through Wilmington and Bal
timore to Washington, and from
Washington through Frederick to Get
tysburg, marked by the accepted colors
of red, white and blue, and to be
known as the route to the Lincoln
memorial at Washington, or a feeder
to the Lincoln Highway. The main
line of the Lincoln Highway to run
from Philadelphia through York to
Gettysburg will not be disturbed, but
as to any reasons why it did not touch
Harrisburg, I am in perfect darkness.
I only know their original object was
in getting' it through on as straight a
line as possible from New York to
San Francisco, taking in Gettysburg.
"The above are my views of the
situation, and as we are to have a
meeting of the joint committee of
Washingtonians and Baltimore people
in this city on Thursday of this week,
I hope to very shortly be able to mark
this new route, or detour from the
main line."
Feeder to Washington
Replying further to a second letter
of the Telegraph a week later, Mr.
Harper said:
"Since my writing to you we have
had a meeting of the joint committee
of Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia and have outlined our details
in every way. We are now simply
waiting for the report of some sub
committees regarding the marking and
erecting the signs along the route,
and particularly through the various
cities, as that seems to be the greatest
stumbling block the tourists have to
encounter.
"I am very sorry that Harrisburg
was not Included on the route, and
from what you state in your letter I
take for granted you will do as we
have done and establish a marked
route to be known as the 'Lincoln
Highway feeder.'
"Wishing you much success in the
undertaking, I beg to remain," etc.
Immediately the Telegraph took up
the matter with the Lincoln Highway
headquarters at Detroit and the secre
tary of the association makes the fol
lowing suggestion:
Harrisburg Detour
"It is entirely beyond the power of
the association at this late date to
make any changes in the established,
announced and dedicated route. We
can think of no better way to answer
your Inquiry relative to a change of
route than to quote the words of
Mr. Joy in his letter to President
Wilson of last June in answer to the
President's request that the route be
changed to include the cities of Wash
ington and Baltimore. Mr. Joy
states:
The Lincoln Highway Association
has committed and entrusted the
Lincoln way to all the people and
especially to the States, counties,
villages and cities through which
its route extends. It Is not possible
to undo the wonderful work of the
communities whose loyal, patriotic
efforts are making, have Indeed
made, the Lincoln Way a part of
the map of our country, and whose
plans for its Improvement are be
ing effectively carried forward ac
cording to the financial means and
energies of those communities tra
versed, and the aid our association
is able to -extend.
The Lincoln Way is the shortest,
most direct and practicable route
consistent with the topography of
the country from New York on the
Atlantic, to San Francisco on the
Pacific, and to change from that
basic principle and extend its
length to devious windings from
city to city or from point of inter
est to point of interest, would in
sure Its failure as a permanent
useful Memorial Way.
It is not within the power of our
association to alter the already
painstakingly selected and actual
ly adopted route.
"The arrangement which you men
tion as having been effected with re
spect to the cities of Washington and
Baltimore, which arrangement has
been somewhat garbled by many news
papers, merely contemplates the
marking of the roads leading from
Philadelphia southwest through Bal
timore to Washington, and thence
northwest to Gettysburg, as the Lin
coln Highway feeder road with the
markers officially adopted for feeder
roads, as is shown on the enclosed
card.
Blue Line On the Map
"It is entirely in accordance with
the policy of the association that im
proved present roads, such as the
road leading from Harrisburg to Get
tysburg. be marked with these Lin
coln Highway feeder marks, indicating
to the tourists that the road leads to
the Lincoln Highway. In fact, on all
our maps we have marked with a blue
line this road leading from Harris
burg to Gettysburg, the blue line on
all our maps indicating Lincoln High
way feeder roads. The map which is
enclosed and which we trust you will
accept with our compliments shows
the action we have taken relative to
this matter. The marking of all the
roads indicated by blue lines on this
map is the aim of the association and
anything we can do to co-operate ln<
the advancement of such marking we
will be pleased to do."
It would seem from the foregoing
correspondence that the only way Har
risburg can be placed officially upon
the Lincoln Highway route Is through
the marking of the main hlghwav be
tween this city and Lancaster and also
hefween this city and Gettysburg with
the official feeder marker of the Lin
coln Highway Association. This is a
nroper field of activity for the Harria
bur«r Motor Club and we have no
doubt, if it has not already been con
sidered, proper markers can be placed
at frequent intervals to cover this
official detour.
The secretary of the Lincoln High
way Association at Detroit sends the
following as the form of marker
which is being placed on all the feed
ers of the national highway:

tinuous connecting Improved highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 3,389

shortest connecting transcontinental
railroads.
Secretary Myton Gets Busy
J. Clyde Myton, secretary of the
Motor Club of Harrisburg, is greatly
interested in marking not only the
proposed feeders to the Lincoln High
way, but all of the main highways
leading to Harrisburg. He has been
in frequent conference with the State
Highway officials and with officials of
the several road associations. Mr.
Myton was shown the correspondence
to-day with the Lincoln Highway As
sociation and the Washington people
and has immediately taken up with H.
B. Joy, the head of the Lincoln High
way Commission at Detroit, the mat
ter of marking officially tho detour
from Lancaster by way of Harrisburg
to Gettysburg. He said- to-day:
"Some months ago we had some cor
respondence with Mr. Joy regarding
the marking of the proposed detour
from Harrisburg to Lancaster and
from Harrisburg to Gettysburg. Mr.
Joy, who is also head of the Packard
Motor Car Company, agreed to co
operate with the club in marking the
route and I believe he will still give
us valuable assistance in accomplish
ing what we want to do at this time.
I shall immediately get in touch with
him to the end that we may have the
feeder markers put in place as soon as
possible."
Mr. Myton is also enthusiastically
in favor of doing everything to mark
the highways leading to Harrisburg so
that tourists may have no difficulty in
detourtng from other highways to
those leading to this city. He states
that all through New England and
northern New York the motor clubs
have Co-operated with the State and
local authorities in marking the high
ways so that it is an easy matter for
motorists to get over the country with
out losing time.
