Why does Health demand a
rubber heel? Because all your
weight is concentrated on your
heel. Every step you take gives
a blow and a jar to your whole
body. You can't help feeling tired
Then when you are tired, Nature has to
rest when she ought to be recuperating.
If you wear rubber heels, you are less tired
at night and are filled with energy in the
morning.
Essex Rubber Heels are made
of genuine, springy, tough rubber.

COREY TO HEAD
MIDVALE STEEL?
May Lead New Purchasers;
Cambria-Pennsylvania Com
bine Apparently Shaping
William E. Corey, former president
of the United States Steel Corporation,
heading a group of practical steel
men. will be found in possession of
the Midvale Steel Company when the
negotiations for its sale now at the
closing point have been finally scaled.
This statement came yesterday from a
financier who has been in close touch
with every detail of the sale.
William A. Read & Co., bankers,
yesterday confirmed the advices that
the Midvale had been acquired by new
interests, but the nnaj papers will not
be signed for a few days. The deal,
involving approximately $19,000,000
In cash, has been financed, and is be
ing cleared through the Girard Trust
Company of Philadelphia.
Tne negotiations, which have been
carried on by Roland L. Taylor, the
Philadelphia member of William A.
Read & Co., will be far reaching In
their effect, but the firm stated that
the interests acquiring the Midvale
property neither represent the Cam
bria Steel nor the Pennsylvania Steel
companies.
Schwab Wants P. S. Co.
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who was
in this city yesterday on a brief visit,
is mentioned as one of the steel group
interested with Corey in the acquisition
of the Midvale, but from what could
be learned yesterday It may be that
while he was ready to take an interest
in that property a few months ago, he
has turned his attentions elsewhere.
In this connection the report comes
up strongly again, from many sources,
that he is negotiating for the purchase
of the Cambria Steel and the Pennsyl
vania Steel companies. Those in a
position to know declare that he is
especially desirous of owning the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, If for no
other reason than to secure its plant,
the Maryland Steel, at Sparrow's
Point, as a base for submarine boat
construction.
May Merge With Cambria
At the same time it was learned that
at least a part of the Frick-Donner op
tion on the Pennsylvania Company's
holdings of Cambria Steel had been
exercised and paid for. .although
President Donner of the latter com
pany, refused to talk on the subject.
He and H. C. Frick also have an
option on the Pennsylvania Com
pany's holdings of Pennsylvania Steel. !
All this leads to the financial districts \
to expect some announcement of at'
least a combination of the Cambria j
Steel and the Pennsylvania Steel
properties.
While the various interests as- j
sociated one way or another with the
steel company deals do not connect
the Midvale with the Cambria-Penn
sylvania combination, in industrial
circles the talk is of a concerted move
upon the part of more or less as
sociated steel interests to find the |
means of speeding up the manufac
ture of munitions for the Allies.
Deal is Ready?
Although the disposition of the Mid
vale seems pretty well indicated the
deal in Cambria and Pennsylvania
Steel Is still clouded In mystery. Be
yond the exercising of part of the
Donner-Frick option yesterday, in
volving a cash settlement, nothing au
thoritative was forthcoming. The
Donner-Frick option covers $22,504,-
100 worth of the entire $45,000,000
Cambria Steel stock issued. If, as re
ported. the option is at $55 a share,
the taking over of the entire Pennsyl
vania holdings would call for a pay
ment of $24,754,510. How much was
Involved In yesterday's transaction was
not stated. It was an advance, how
ever, toward the consummation of the
big project.
The details of the Cambria-Pennsyl
vania steel deal, whatever it may
prove to be, may not be told until
after the next meeting of the com
panies' directors. At the meeting of
the Cambria board this week, the mat
ter was held up pending the expres
sion of the wishes of the new Inter
ests, lately entitled to a dominant voice
In the readjustment of the company's
affairs, but it Is understood, only de
tails remain to be settled. The deal
Is ready to be sprung.
The Cambria Steel transaction
overtops that In Midvale. for the for
mer property Is capitalized at $48.-
000,000 and It is likely that $5,000,000
additional In treasury stock will be
lßued. If the Pennsylvania Steel Is
merged with the Cambria, as Is ex
pected, then the figures will run up to
a total of not less than 182,478,800;

Hupp Makes a Hit at
Michigan State Fair
By far the most talked of automo
bile at the Michigan State fair which
was in progress for two weeks was I
the Hupmobile Sedan, the latest ad
dition to the Hupmobile line.
This car which sells for $1,J65, is
a two-door type with front seatß di
vided, has dome lights in addition to
the regular lighting equipment and
double windshield. Other features are
silk curtains' on automatic rollers,
sash less windows and front rail, and
is fully equipped on a 119-ijich wheel
base chassis.
Another machine which attracted
strong attention at the fair and which
has Just been put on the market this
season by the Hupp Company is the
all-year touring car.
This machine comes in the five-pas
senger type, is equipped with detach
able one-piece, close fitting metal
top, made in the Hupmobile factory.
The top lias removable sides for sum
mer driving with the top on for winter
use. Quick acting curtains which pro
vide for use in stormy weather, are
another feature.

HARRISBURG MAY
GET RIGHT OF WAY
Deputy Attorney General Gives
An Opinion Regarding a
Sewer to Be Built Here
Under the terms
\ \ $ //J of an opinion given
\W\A superintendent of
the State Insane
Hospital in this
clty by w H Kel -
ler, first deputy at
-11 JnbnMWllKt&w torne y general, the
trustees of the hos
aMP pita.l may grant
permission to the
city of Harrisburg
to construct a sanitary sewer through
the grounds about the hospital for
draining certain sections of the city.
The line selected for the sewer is
the run which drains the watershed
surrounding the hospital and is the
only available depression in the neigh
borhood which could be utilized for
the purpose.
Governor to Return. —Governor
Brumbaugh, who has been spending
to-day with his father in Huntingdon,
is expected to return to-night. He is
to speak at Oberlin United Brethren
Church to-morrow.
Case to Be Reargued.—The Public
Service Commission has grunted the
request of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. the American Steel and Wire
Company, and the National Tube Com
pany, and other corporations for a
reargument in the "industrial rail
road" or "short line? cases. The re
quest for the reargument was based
on the contention that since the com
mission had heard the cases the Inter-
State Commerce Commission had
made rulings which might change the
aspect. The argument will probably
be heard late in November and will
cover the principles brought out in
several cases heard last year.
No Settlement Soon. No settle
ments on anthracite coal tax will be
made by the Auditor General's De
partment for several weeks at least.
The department is now at work on
corporation tax settlements and will
take up the settlements for the tax
for 1914 and 1915 together. Most of
the companies have filed stipulations
for such settlements.
Dye Companies Chartered.—Among
charters issued in the last month have
been three for the manufacture of
dyes, the first of the kinJ to be issued
in years. The supposition at the
Capitol is that the companies have
been formed to meet the demand for
dyes due to the shortage of the sup
ply from abroad.
Guardsmen Kxamined. Examina
tion papers filled out by the infantry
officers of the National Guard are
commencing to reach the Adjutant
General's Department. The time for
returning such papers will expire on
Monday. In the neighborhood of 500
officers have taken the examinations
which are based upon the courses of
training for the last year. The work
was in charge of Captain J. B. Kem
per, U. S. A., the regular army officer
detailed to the National Guard.
Motorcycles Boom.—Motorcycles in
Pennsylvania have paid the State
Treasury $50,000 since the first of
the year. The motor of such ve
hicles granted licenses by the State
Highway Department Is 16,000. Last
year approximately 14,000 motorcycles
were granted State licenses. It is be
lieved that the number will be ma
terially increased by the end of the
year.
Thus far State registration has been
granted to 152,725 automobiles and
trucks. At this time last year the
number registered was only 107,000.
Laird Report Goes. The State
Meade Monument Commission has ap
proved and forwarded to the Fine
Arts Commission at Washington the
report of Warren P. Laird, its archi
tectural adviser in regard to location
of the statue in the gardens in vicin
ity of the national Capitol. The com
mission will shortly consider selection

Five Not Protected. Only five
counties in Pennsylvania are now
without sea'ers of weights and meas
ures. Bedford county has just se
lected such an officer and steps are
being taken whereby others will either
name their officers or unite with other
counties.
Appointed Notary.—L. T. Collier, of
Mt. Carmel, has been appointed notary
public.
Commissioners to Sit. —Commission-
ers Rilling- and Aincy will sit here
Tuesday to hear the Pennsylvania
Utilities company case.
Dinner to Tener. —State Librarian
Thomas Lynch Montgomery is giving
a dinner at Philadelphia to-night in
honor of ex-Go\ k ernor John K. Tener.
A number of State officials and per
sonal friends will attend.
Few New Cases. Very few new
cases of typhoid fever have been re
ported to the State Health Depart
ment this week. The Danville situa
tion is clearing up rapidly.
Will Repair Road. —Continuance of
the case brought by the Lancaster
Automobile Club against the Lancas
ter and Marietta Turnpike company
by the Public Service Commission yes
terday afternoon on the statement by
the company that repairs would be
made will probably result in some
similar proceedings aaginst turnpikes
being continued. The commission has
a number of such cases and if offers
are made to improve it is probable
that continuances will be granted to
allow the owners to make good.
Chairman Alney yesterday suggested
that prompt action when complaints
are made could save trouble.
Award Made.—Formal notice of the
award of the contract for the Phila
delphia cavalry squadron armory to
the Fidelity Construction company, of
Philadelphia, was sent to the com
pany and architect to-day by the State
Armory Board. The price is $134,246
and a bond for fifty per cent, will be
given. Work is to be started without
delay.
Inspection Over. —The inspection of
the route that will be taken by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's "Seeing Pennsyl
vania" tour has been finished and
signs have been placed along the roads
where there are forks and crossroads.
The final arrangements will be com
pleted this week and local automo
bile organisations will plan the escort
districts.
Chamber of Commerce
to Elect 5 Directors
On Monday, October 4, the Chamber
of Commerce will elect five members
of the board of directors to serve for

the citv. The nominees are Arthur D.
Bacon, William H. Bennethum, Sr., Dr.
George A. Gorgas, Edgar D. Hilleary.
Paul Johnston, Samuel Kunkel, Robert

at Washington having charge of the
operation of the different Federal Re
serve Banks in this country, will be
delivered by W. P, G. Harding, a mem
ber of the Federal Reserve Board.
Another speaker will be the minister
from Peru, Federlco Alfonza Pezet.
Mr. Pezet Is said to be one of the most
able diplomatists who have ever been
stationed In Washington. His remarks
on development of foreign trade In
South America will be of special in
terest because he has just arranged
to have the Peruvian State Steamship
Lino of passenger steamers begin op
erations from Peruvian ports to Bal
timore Instead of merely stopping at
the Canal.
The third speaker will be Captain
Richard Stockton, Jr.. author of "Peacu
