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 | WHAT IS TAUGHT IN THE WHARTON | | 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.

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.

Long before 7.30 o'clock, the time set for the opening of the window dis plays. the Mulberry street viaduct. Market street subway and the leading lip and down town thoroughfares be gan to Dour tlielr pleasure-seeking 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 cfher things that are Interesting the busy shopper just now were attract ively displayed. Large cities may have better decorators—but, if they have, well, you couldn't convince anyone in this vicinity of that fact last evening. Past these hi* windows the eager 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. Drop in today on your round of the many improvements. CHAS. M. STIEFF 24 North Second Street \ SEPTEMBER 24, 1915. 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 I some thousands who paused to gaze ' 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. 7
