QUICK DISMISSAL
BY COMMISSIONERS
Failure to Prosecute Cases
Leads to Drastic Action by
Public Service Board
The Public Service Commission to
day dismissed the complaint of the
Electrical Consumers Adjustment
company, against, the Philadelphia
Electric Co, because the complain
ants did not appear to support their
charge of discrimination. The com
pany, which has offices in New York,
charged that the company refused to
sell it power at -wholesale rates so
that it could lie retailed. Two dates
were set for hearings and at neither
time did any one appear and to-day
counsel for the electric company
moved for dismissal.
The complainants in the Cooke case
against the rates and services of the
Philadelphia electric to-day asked that
the commission name its own expert
to check up on the valuations being
made by Prof. 15. C. Jackson, the ex
pert and wanted dates set for resump
tion of the original case hearing and
of the public lighting complaint. The
commission took no action.
The commission disposed of a num
ber of contracts, including the Lewis
burg Water company.
To-morrow the Lancaster Automo
bile club's case against the Lancaster
and Marietta Turnpike company's road
conditions will be heard.
Congressman B. K. Focht, of Lewis
burg and other prominent men in the
seventeenth congressional district, to
day visited Governor Brumbaugh. H.
V. White, chairman of the Agricul
tural Commission was also a visitor.
Representative E. E. Jones, chairman,
of the public roads committee of the
House, was a caller it the same of
tice.
Atlantic City Mayor
to Sleep in Coffin
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 23. —A
"wooden kimono" as a night cap is
the shortest route back to the "straight
and narrow," according to Mayor Wil
liam Riddle. He has had samples of
wood sent in from different coffin
luilders that he may select the ma
terial from which his "kimono" is to
lie fashioned. "I'm not joking about
this," said the mayor to-day. He ex
hibited the sample woods to prove his
Assertion. "When a fellow gets out
with the boys and kind of gets by his
limit he should have something the
rext morning to remind him aside
f-om a headache. I'm going to have
this coffin made and placed in ray
apartment. When I get home after
1 o'clock in the morning from some
I anquet the coffin will be my sleeping
place."

CONDITIONS GROWING WORSE
Geneva, Monday. Sept. 20, via Paris,

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep yourhairingood
condition, the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
(he scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsitled
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
Foap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It Is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

City Improvements
IMPROVEMENTS SEEN BY TOWN BOOSTERS
ON BIG AUTO TRIP AROUND HARRISBURG
Twenty-Six Main Points of Int ercst Show What Remarkable
Progress This Live Wire Community Has Made
Points visited by the town boosters
on the big automobile trip about the
improvements made during the last
fifteen years are described in the_ of
ficial guide issued by the Harrisbuig
Chamber of Commerce as follows:
1 City's Formal Entrance —-
Erected as a memorial by the Henry
McCormick estate. This, with the ex
ception of the one at St. Augustine,
Fla., was the only formal entrance m
the United States at the time of its
erection in 1905. The pillars are from
the rotunda of the old State Capitol.
Market street bridge, which was dedi
cated on April 20, 1902. is a concrete
floored, steel girder bridge, replacing
the old Theodore Burr "Camel Back
bridge. The establishment of the for
mal city entrance was brought about
through the efforts of the Civic Club.
2.—lsland Play ground- —Splendidly
equipped playground of 22.6 acres
leased from Harrisburg Bridge Com
pany for 20 years at 51 a year. State
wide high school track and field meets
and city grammar school meets are
held on this playground each year.
The athletic field provides a one-quar
ter mile running track. 220 yards
straightaway, football field, three
baseball diamonds, six tennis courts,
etc. There are grandstand seating ar
rangements for 2,900. Shower haths
and locker rooms are provided. There
is a 24-room locker house and slack
water pool giving depths of about five
f ee t_f r ee suits for those under 16 —
two lifeguards on duty—attendance in
191 4, 8.357.
3. —Mechanical Filtration Plant—
With the daily capacity of 19,000,000
gallons of purified river water. Har
risburg's mechanical filtration
was completed in October, 1905. It
has a daily capacity of 19,000.000 gal
lons, and the splendid bacterial effi
ciency of 99.18 per cent. Water is
taken from the Susquehanna, passed
through sedimentation basins, treated
with coagulant and passed through
sand filters to clear water well,
pumped to east shore of the Susque
hanna, thence lifted to the reservoirs
at Reservoir Park. The operation of
the plant Is under the constant su
pervision of the city's bacteriologist,
and yields a watgr supply of splendid
quality.
I.—Municipal Nursery Started
1906; has supplied practically all trees,
shrubs and flowers used in park sys
tem, saving thousands of dollars.
s.—South Front Street Park Im
provement Former ragged River
Bank filled to a uniform line and
transformed Into a park with many
young trees and electric lighting.
6.—Reinforced Concrete Pier and
Slab Type Dam—Completed 1915:
3,400 feet long, 5 to 12 feet in height
and holds the water to four feet above
the former low water mark. This
dam backs the water up the river to
a point near Maclay street, eliminates
mosquito breeding marshes and pro
vides excellent facilities for pleasure
boating on the river.
7. City-owned Asphalt Repair
Plan—Daily capacity 100 tons of sheet
asphalt; cost approximately $20,000.
B.—Paxton Creek Improvement—
A former foul and flood-ravaged
creek converted into a straightened
and concrete lined channel. In con
nection with the Wildwood flood con
trol and the Paxton Valley interceptor,
this has converted a flood-menaced
valley into a section available for
commercial purposes. This drain is
15,000 feet long, and with its four re
inforced concrete bridges cost $95,000.
Tt has a fall of 12 feet from Maclay
street to its outlet at the river.
I).—Paxton Valley Interceptor
Constructed in 1903: handles all sew
age for western Hill district; has
eliminated foul conditions in Paxton
creek.
10.—Sycamore Playground—Harris
burg's third city-owned playground
accommodating children from the. en
tire south end of the city on the
southern portion of the Hill district.
Sycamore playground comprises 5.62
acres of ground lying high above the
mills in this section, and so graded
to provide a full size baseball dia
mond, four tennis courts, six volley
balls and two basketball courts, a one
eighth mile running track, 100 yards
straightaway as well as ample room
for playground apparatus and play
ground games. The ground was pur
chased In 1914 for $14,042.50.
11. Cnmcron I parkway Over 51
pcres of land presented by ex-Senator
J. Donald Cameron, to which the city
has added—extends from Cameron
street to Poorhouse road —converted
Into park by construction of drive and
necessary concrete bridges, drilling
and wells, etc.
This park, which is one link in the
parkvav, is one of the few sections
t'bout the city where natural woods
and water conditions prevail. Run
ning through this park is a 4-foot
rectangular reinforced concrete sewer,
1 aralleling Spring creek and extend
ing from Nineteenth street to the
liver. This sewer drains the Cloverly
Heights section and will eventually
carry the Paxtang sewage. Completed
September. 1914.
(2. Reinforced Coihtclc and Ruble
Masonry Skew Bridge—Replaces old
wooden structure and eliminates two
dangerous curves. Erected in 1914
by the Park Department at a cosr of
$1,700. Length, 4 8 feet over all;
width. 27 feet.
13. New Parkway Drive—Connect
ing link between Cameron Parkway
and Reservoir Park—2.67 miles of
toad, several concrete bridges and a
modern steel and concrete subway.
The construction of this driveway
marks the completion of thirteen
years' work on the city parkway.
14. Now Market Street Kntrance to
Reservoir Park.
15. Reservoir Park—Jewel of Har
risburg's park system—B7.9 acres of
tolling land. 3% acres of paths and
toads. 5 pavilions and administration
house, golf club house, tennis club
house, 8 tennis courts, playgrounds,
etc.: also contains tne two city reser
voirs.
This was the first piece of land used
for parks, being a portion of the land
acquired for a city reservoir; has been
increased by various additions until it
now comprises 87.9 acres, which has
been intensively developed for park
purposes by the construction of 3%
miles of paths and roads. 5 pavilions,
an administration house, golf club
house, tennis eiub nouse, 8 tennis
courts, playground, etc.
It contains the two city reservoirs
and an auxiliary pumping station serv
ing the high service reservoir, which
has a capacity of 1.000,000 gallons.
This latter reservoir is located upon
Oak Knob, the highest point lying
within the city. The view front this
point is such a superb one that It
excites the admiration of all visitors,
and it has been claimed that it is un
equaled anywhere else except by the
view of the Rockies from the Port
land parks. The park was visited last
year by approximately 325,000 people
and is unquestionably the hub of the
entire system.
The old-fashioned garden attached
to the house and filled with season
able blooms is a constant source of
pleasure to thousands of our citizens
who take advantage of the splendid
picnic grounds which the rolling slopes
of this park afford.
16. State Street—A boulevard 120
feet wide connecting the new State
Capitol with the focal points at the
river shore wall and at Reservoir Park.
1". Mulberry Street Bridge.—Rein
forced concrete viaduct over Paxton
creek valley, 2,335 feet long, 45 feet
wide and 60 feet high at its greatest
height.
This bridge was constructed at a
cost of $350,000 and was at the time
of its construction the second longest
concrete viaduct in the world. It has
23 arches of varying spans and joins
two thickly populated sections of the
city. The bridge, which spans the
Paxton creek valley, replaces a com
bination of dangerous old steel bridges.
18. Pipe Line shops—Repair and
Inspection departments of the city
water works, attractively treated with
planting.
19. Twelfth Street Playground
Eight acres. An old bog transformed
into a useful playground.
This waste land has been reclaimed
and now forms a beautiful playground
lark with such facilities as wading
pool, six tennis courts, ball field, play
ground apparatus, pavilion, outdoor
gymnasium, etc. It has had a won
derful effect on the health of the
adjacent community.
20. Wildwood Park Harrisburg's
great park of the future—ss4.3 acres
of natural park land; contains a lake
of 160 acres and large areas of prime
val forests and open slopes.
The area now covered by the lake
was formerly a swamp, through which
Ihe Paxton creek meandered in an
aimless manner. By constructing an
earthen dam 1,200 feet long across
this swamp, utilizing in the process an
old railroad fill, Wildwood Lake was
created. This serves as a balancing
reservoir to care for the flood dis
charge of Paxton creek. All normal
flows up to the capacity of the new
concrete lined channel, 300 cubic feet
a second, is discharged through the
circular weir at the south end of the
lake. Any water in excess of this is
bipassed to the river through a con
crete conduit 13 feet by 13 feet at the
north end of the lake. This is a
parabolic sewer with a capacity of
1,500 cubic feet per second. Since the
construction of these works there has
been no trouble from flood in the Pax
ton creek valley.
The present development in Wild
wood Park consists largely in the
opening up of such roads and oaths as
are necessary to make the park avail
able to the public. This has involved
the construction of 4.4 miles of road,
3.4 miles of paths, many natural trails
a ball field, picnic ground and many
bridges. To make this park more
accessible a path has been constructed
into the park from Division street a
bubbler fountain installed and an at
tractive pavilion built out of material
from an old barn purchased with the
land.
A large boalhouse has also been con
structed at fhe upper end of the lake
and a regular motor and row boat,
service installed. In winter this house
serves as a rest room for thousands of
skaters using the splendid sheet of ice
formed by the lake. The city Is grad
ually increasing the development of
this park as its use increases and funds
become available. There are in this
park two very attractive concrete
bridges. Wildwood has always been,
and for a long time to come will re
main. a great natural nark, with large
groves of timber and grass-grown
slopes set with myriads of wild flow
ers. The on» place near our city where
peonle can go to "the woods." '
21. MeCormleli's Island—One hun
dred and twenty acres of land, a gift
to the city from James McCormick;
eighty-one acres adantert to cultiva
tion. On this island the Park Depart
ment maintains annually a summer
municipal, camn for playground chil
dren. Located 'midst admlrablv pic
turesque settings in the middle of the
Susquehanna. . This island someday
may he developed along lines similar
to the celebrated Belle Isle of Detroit
22. Emerald Playground Harris
burg's fourth city-owned playground
-1.13 acres.
On this newly acquired playground
it Is planned to provide two tennis
courts, a field house, volley and basket
ball courts, playground apparatus and
everything else necessary for a well
equipped playground.

3-DAY CELEBRATION
fContinued From First Page.]
over the city to view the Improve
ments of fifteen years.
In presenting the marker of the city,
in behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce, President Judge George Kun
kel reviewed the history of Harris
burg's wonderful strides forward in
the past fifteen years, pointing out the
many advantages to the people
brought about by the various public
Improvements and paid a glowing tri
bute to the various organizations
which fostered the "Greater Harris
burg" idea and to the type of citizen
ship which made it possible to float
the million and a half dollars In loans
which were made to carry out these
improvements.
"Development alons these material
lines alone," declared he, "do not make
a city great. Although no other city
in the land has made greater progress
in these material things than Harris
burg, yet it is not this alone which
makes this a city of which we may
be proud.
"It Is the character of our citizens
that makes us really great; it is the
obedience to law, the obedience to the
ordinances which our representatives
in the city government pass, which
enables it to be truly said, 'this is a
great city, great not only in wood and
stone but great in intelligence.' "
Turning to Mayor John K. Royal,
Jiidge Kunkel said: "And now as the
chief magistrate of this city. I deliver
over this stone to you and leave it in
your care and the care of your succes
sors in office, as a reminder of what
has bten accomplished in this city in
fifteen years as an example of the
generosity, public spiritedness and
loyalty of its citizens."
23. Front Street Improvements
This park, extending from Calder to
Maclay streets, was formerly a ragged
water front of scant width and over
grown with weeds.
In bringing about this improvement
thousands of yards of dirt fill were
purchased, graded and young trees
planted. A crushed stone promenade
was built. The terrace was planted
with shrubbery and stone ramps pro
vided at each street intersection makes
the walk on the lower level of easy
access.
2-1. River Front Interceptor and
Shore Wall—Popularly known as Har
lisburg's "front steps."
This improvement performed the
twofold service of giving the river
shore a unique treatment in appear
ance and usefulness as well as elimi
nating the former nuisance of a sew
age outlet at each street intersection.
The city has built an intercepting
sewer running parallel with the river's
edge and picking up the output of the
lateral sewers which formerly emptied
into the river. At the top of the steps,
which cover this sewer, there is a
14 foot concrete promenade. Attractive
ornamental lighting helps the effects
of both beauty and usefulness.
25. Plaza and Protection Wall at
Pumping' station—This concrete wall
constructed to protect the bank, which
here juts out into the flood channel,
is 184 feet long and 15.5 feet high.
This has been developed into a plaza,
from which splendid views can be had
of the river basin north and south.
26. Improved Front Street Parks —
In the past fifteen years the rivenjront
throughout the city, except at a few
joints, has been changed from a nar
row .lagged bank covered with weeds
into a long belt of beautiful parks.
The guide says the city of Harrls
.burg has 73 miles of paved streets,
87 miles of sewers, 71 miles of water
Pipe.
The city covers an area of 5.388
square miles of land surface, 3.267
square miles of water surface, making
a total of 8.655 square miles.
"Front Steps" of City
Will Be Lighted For
the First Time Tonight
The "front steps of Harrisburg" will
be lighted for the first time to-night.
Officials of the Harrisburg Light
and Power company this morning
added the finishing touches to the
great system that will turn the city's
3-mile length of wall and steps along
the Susquehanna into a "great white
stairway" and Superintendent L. L.
Ferree has the plugs in the switches
set, and the other connections and
things ready to startle the fish in their
sleep. That the walk will be one of
the most popular points in the city
goes without . sa> ing.
In other sections of the city, partic
ularly in the central districts, the moon
won't need to bother much about
working to-night. The gay festoons
of hundreds of electric bulbs that will
help form the canopy of light over
.Market street from River to Front for
the dancers Saturday evening, will be
switched on.
But that isn't all that the city has
planned either; the long line of orna
mental standards that have been in
stalled in Second street from Locust
to State will flash into light simulta
neously with the lighting of the river
wall. Both systems were installed
after the electric light company had
suggested a plan whereby the city
could pay for the improvement on
easy terms.
The city to-day began to take on
its party dress for the big celebration.
Flags and bunting fairly grew on the
fronts of business houses and store
fronts.
GEORGE B. TRIPP JUST COULDN'T
STAY AWAY FROM TOWN TO-DAY
George B. Tripp, first president of
the Chamber of Commerce, just
couldn't stay away during the celebra
tion. He is now located with the big
electric interests of New York but
there is a warm place in his heart for
Harrisburg and even the bright lights
of Broadway have nothing on our own
main highways.
Mnyor Royal's Acceptance
Mayor Royal's acceptance was brief.
He expressed his pleasure at being
able to be on hand not only as mayor
but as a citizen who had advocated
and voted for "all the public improve
ment loans which have done so much
for our beautiful city, and placed Har
risburg on the map, as it were.'"
"I want to congratulate the press,
the various organizations, and the citi
zens In general as well," said he, "who
strove so hard to bring to a success
ful realization present conditions. I
also want to congratulate the Cham
ber of Commerce for the conception
of this celebration.
"Well do I remember the campatgn
which was waged for the first loan.
At that time vigorous opposition ex
isted, but 1 am happy to say this has
almost entirely disappeared since our
people have seen what wonderful
changes have taken place, all to their
advantage and comfort. I can as
sure you this does not conclude our
advancement. Much Is yet to be done
and I believe our people stand ready
to make this, our beloved city, one of
the best and roost beautiful places in
which to live.
The Record of Achievement
"We are Indebted to the Chamber
of Commerce for the present celebra
tion with all Its attendant labor and
expense; also for the handsome
marker which you soe before and
which I now take great pleasure In
accepting for the city of Harrisburg:
an evidence and record of the great
advancement of our city during the
past thirteen years which will stand
for ages as a stimulus for all future
time."
The speakers, including President
Judge Kur.kel and Mayor Royal, stood
on a small platform over the stone
with Henderson Gilbert, president of
