SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN WILL HAVE
NO SUPERIOR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
City Planning Commission and Warren H. Manning Have
Plan For Control of West Shore
U'hen the City Planning Commis
sion shall have completed its work
the Susquehanna River Basin will
have no superior anywhere in the
world. Warren H. Manning, the city's
landscape adviser, is co-operating with
the commission and recommends con
trol in some amicable way of the west
shore as well as the city frontage.
An examination was made of the
westerly shore road by Mr. Manning
and Mr. Herman, president of the
Planning Commission because it was
considered to be as important a feat
ure of the basin as the easterly shore
to those who use the water for recre
ation purposes. It was found that the
old shore road extended from Worm
♦ieysburg near the shore line along the
top of the bluff, up to a point opposite
the center of McCormick's Island.
From this point up to the point where
the new road through Enola crosses
the track by an overhead bridge to the
south of the Rockville bridge this
shore road has been obliterated, partlv

| SCHOOL'S EXTENSION COURSE |
The Extension course of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce =5
as is planned to give the student a comprehension of the facts and principles of =5
== business essential to every executive. The work is practical. It imparts this =5

{55 ods by which business men borrow money; how to read credit statements, and 55
55 what is good collateral. He is drilled in the principles of investment; the use 55
55 of insurance, and the relative advantages of each type of policy. He studies
55 productive advertising and selling methods. He becomes familiar with deeds, 55

FRIDAY EVENING,
by railroad fill, down to the shore line.
I At no point, however, was it found im
practicable to continue this road,
along or near the shore, up to the
road that leads along the shore to the
Rockville bridge. The rights to such
a road and to the shore to low water,
Mr. Manning suggests, should be ac
quired from the railroad bridges be
low Wormleysburg to the existing
road below the Rockville bridge. This
would give a boundary to the Harris
burg river basin on the westerly side
that would correspond to Front street
on the easterly side. This basin prop
erly extends from the Rockville bridge
to the dam as these two structures
represent the limits of practicable
navigation for pleasure craft.
Landing For I>ar<?e Boats
There Is to be a landing at Verbeke
street for the Independence and Fair
view ferries for the larger boats and
incidentally for such coal handling as
must, for the present, be carried on at
that point. This dock would extend
beyond the shore wall and steps to
provide sufficient room for this busi
ness, and the entrance thereto would
be carried under the shore walk,
which would need to be raised over
the road about a dozen feet.
A coal-handling plant is recom
mended at the Reading railroad
bridge near Dock street, to be so con
structed as to not permit teams to
drive over the walk, and with an arch
In the coal handling structure that
could permit pedestrians to pans along
the walk, under it, for its full width,
without interruption. This coal
handling plant, it is recommended
should be handled by electricity in
order to avoid all smoke. It is ex
pected that the equipment at this
point could be made sufficient to
handle all the coal from the river
basin at less cost than it could be
handled from the surface at the
wharves.
Looking to the future it was be
lieved to be essential that there ulti
mately be established at or near Divi
sion street, a wharf similar to that
proposed at Verbeke street, to take
care of the traffic from the opposite
side of the valley beyond Wildwood
Park, when Division streets is carried
over the Pennsylvania tracks, as pro
posed by the Commission.
To determine the cost of making
the channel recommended along the
easterly side of the river, more ac
curate information In the way of sur
veys must be secured, preferably from
the State Water Supply Commission,
who have a force of men especially
trained for such work.

Second street, out Walnut, down
through the Square and then out
toward Harrisburg's "front steps,"
viewing with lavish praise the efforts
of the city's live-wire merchants as
shown by their gorgeous window dis

Long before 7.30 o'clock, the time
set for the opening of the window dis

lip and down town thoroughfares be

throngs into the central business dis
trict of the town. By the time the
teasing shades were run up from
scores of decorated windows the big
crowds were eager with curiosity to
&ee the lavish displays inside.
Scene a Brilliant One
Tt was a brilliant scene. Broadway
may have its attractions, but to thou
sands of Harrishurgers last evening
they were forgotten. Our own Market
street with its broad Square furnished
light enough and things-to-be-seen
enough for all.
From Fourth and Market streets
the big crowds surged around the win
dows of Dives. Pomeroy & Stewart.
Here the latest word in clothes and

better decorators—but, if they have,
well, you couldn't convince anyone in
this vicinity of that fact last evening.

crowds eddied and swirled to gaze a
moment at the tempting displays of
"The 5 and 10" and then to stop in
front of the Globe. Here a living
New Stieff Piano Store
One of the Big Improvements
While the formal opening of the big new Stieff Piano
Store, at 24 North Second street, will not he held until
October 1, a pressing invitation is given everybody to
visit the big building during the celebration.
Xhe Stieff Store is the biggest and most up-to-date
piano store in Central Pennsylvania and is one of the
best equipped in the United States.

model demonstrated the correct man
ner for men to wear their clothes.
Past the Hub, where more men's
clothing was on display, the crowds
surged to Bowman's.
The Ancient and Modern
Here thousands were given a glimpse
of what Bowman's new store will be
like, for a huge scaffolding which has
been here for some time was removed
iind walking made easy for pedes
trians. Inside Bowman's window some
styles that were in vogue when grand
lather was a boy were shown. Be
neath softly shaded lights twe models
in hoopskirts and a gentleman in cor
rect attire of a half-century ago basked
in the soft glow and gazed unwaver
ingly into the smiling laces of the
thousands who paused to comment
and then passed by. Rothert's had a
beautiful display of Colonial furniture.
In Third street the William B.
Schleisner store had a display that
depicted properly gowned women and
men in the latest attire strolling about
the various points of interest in Har
nsburg. The background was in can
vas and the models in wax, but so
cleverly was the display staged that
it was realistic.
When the joking, jostling crowd
stopped in front of the Doutrlch store
their eyes were given a real treat.
Visions of that vacation that just had
to be given up, of bulging pocketbooks
and turkey dinners with regular chaiu
i pagnc were created in many minds—
] for $0,500 in real, crisp United States
bills was scattered promiscuously
labout the window display here. To

' those bills looked like an AWFUL lot.
of money.
More Living Models
In front of the new Kaufman store
thousands surged and tugged for a
point of vantage. Here living models
rolled back and forth in charming
evening gowns, warm winter coats and
all those other things dear to every
woman's heart. It was a really bril
liant feast for the eyes.
In front of the big new Stieff piano
store, just completed, hundreds of
people gathered. Here a Stieff player
piano was being demonstrated and
the music-loving found the big win
dow, showing a view of the entire
main floor of the store, one of the
most interesting places in the business
section.
Beautiful window displays were seert
in the Astrich, Cook, Wttrner, Bair &
Witmer, Burns and Gutely & Fitz
gerald stores. Needless to say, the
winter hat models caught the eyes of
the women folks as they strolled by
Astrich's, and the furniture displays
at Gately & Fitzgerald's and Burns'
attracted hundreds of both men and
women. Cook had a beautiful blanket
display and one of the Cook windows
had River Park for a background.
The tour of the business district
completed, the crowds surged out
toward River Front Park. Here Har
risburg's progress in the past fifteen
years is shown perhaps more vividly
than anywhere else.
Light# Rival
Here, glistening beneath the moon,
the thousands who paused on the
grassy bank of the river park slope
or on one of the river bridges saw a
long, sinuous curve of concrete rise in
steps from the mist-covered water
and spread out into a broad, plateau
like walk that extends from end to
end of the city. To the south it leads
toward the glowing fires that, re
flected in the sky, show the location
of Harrisburg's mills. To the north
the concrete curves along the steep
slopes of the river bank, past the
pumping station, through "Hardscrab
ble" and then in a long, almost straight
line away to the upper end of the city.
Last evening a long line of glowing
bulbs sparkled along the brink of the
wall from end to end of the concrete.
Rivaling the moon, these lights will
shine nightly from now on to the end
of the park season.
This was Harrisburg's front steps
and their lights.
