MASON CO. 134-140 N. Front St., Philadelphia Men Working on Slopes Along the River Front City Commissioner Taylor, who has made a fine record in the expansion and development of the park system during the last, yeftr, had his force at, work this morning on the river slopes. During the big carnival considerable damage was done to the planting, but Inasmuch as there must be a general grading of the slopes in the sections south of "Hardscrabble" the damage ■which resulted from the crowds using the slopes instead of the walks will not be so great as was feared at llrst. Inasmuch as many gulle.vs had pre viously existed, the opportunity Is now presented to place the slope from Herr street southward in tlrst class shape before the rains of the winter do fur ther damage. It ought also to be pos sible to transfer a lot of hardy shrtih -1 ery from the nursery on the island to the slopes and plant the trees in the River Park that could not be set out in the Spring. There is now enough space along the western curb line from Maclay street to Division to con tinue the line of elms which extends to a point north of Maclay street. The river events of last week gave thousands upon thousands of people an opportunity to see for themselves what has been done by the Park De partment during the last few months.

FORNEY'S DRUG STORE 426 Market St. - MONDAY EVENING, FINE CELEBRATION GENERAL VERDICT Chairmen and Committeemen Are Commended For Good Work Well, It was SOME celebration!" That's the way all Harrisburg feels to-day when it thinks back over the great week-end of the Municipal Im provement observance. That the city never enjoyed itself so thoroughly nor even entertained such enormous crowds goes wtlhout saying, and a grateful, if a bit fun-weary pub lic, was loud in its praises of the chairmen and committeemen who helped make the event such a won derful success. Henderson Gilbert, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the other members of that body, J. Raymond HofJert, assistant park superintendent who had charge of the water carnival, C. Floyd Hopkins, who managed the big program, President Harry A. Boyer of the school board, Frank H. Hoy, Jr., of the cabaret committee and all the subcommittee chairmen and committees «ame in for a generous share of commendation to-day. The handling of Hanisburg's biggest water carnival naturally developed some mistakes and delays liut all .n all allowances were pretty generously made and then the evening's events overshadowed the occasional slip-ups of the afternoon. Another splendid feature of the big celebration was the co-operation of the merchants, the stores and the public utilities. The traction com panies and the bridge company went In for the big time splendidly while the Harrisburg Light and Power company did more than Its share to make the three days a success. All the subcommittees and chair men, of course, came in for a share of the city's commendation for the way they had handled the various events on the program and among these were the following: School publicity and exhibit. Dr. F. E. Downes, city superintendent; automobile inspection tour. City Com missioner M. Harvey Taylor; unveil ing of improvement marker, Benja min M. Xead; big reception, Donald McCormick; speakers. A. Carson Stamm; "Merchants' Night," A. E. Buchanan: unveiling of Harris* Ferry tablet, Thomas Lynch Montgomery: military maneuvers, Col. Joseph B. Hutchison and Lieut.-Col. Maurice E. Finney; street cabaret, Felix M. Davis with Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Hoy; wa ter carnival, suhchairman, Thomas M. Kelker; rowboats, Charles C. Dinta man; swimming, Cloyd McFadden; 14-year-old swimming, Horace C. Oel sel; canoes, Ira Klndler; decorated boats, Gilbert M. Oves; churches, the Rev. James F. Bullitt. MODERNDANCEA WINKED AT HUG ? [Continued From First Page.] the cigaret, th e circus, the vaude ville, the moving picture show, the theater and the dance for the thrill, for their excitant, instead of to the Spirit of God." Condemns the Dance "The modern dance is an abomina tion to God and man," continued tho speaker. "It's a travesty on decency and any man or woman who consents to trad" companions with another man or woman for conventional hugging purposes even for a minute to say nothing of an hour or a night, Is a fool though he or she may not know it Men can eat with men, smoke with men, drink with men, talk with men by the hour or evening, but who heard tell of men dancing all night with men, or women dancing all night with wo men? Why is this? "Common decency should preclude the modern dance among decent peo ple. And as f6r the cabaret about which we hear so much, that Is the dictionary name for a tavern or 'wine shop' and growing out of that is the word cabaretier,' the dictionary name for a saloonkeeper. And yet we de bauch people with not only the names but the acts of these sensualizing dopes to the spiritual nature. Where Is the remedy for all this? Why, be not drunk with wine with women, with tobacco, with sensuous dances, with the cabaret, the theater, the vaude ville, the sensuous movie, the lying novel, but be ye drunk with tho spirit. "And let the drunkenness find legitimate and invigorating and health giving expression in speaking to your selves in Psalms and Hymns and spiritual songs. Making melody in your heart to the Lord, not in your stomach or your heels or your sensual nature to the devil, but, 'making melody in your heart unto the Lord'." Members of the Grand Army of Stevens church were given front seats at the service. Many were taken to the churcn in automobiles and every courtesy was shown them by several of the younger Sunday school classes. R. H. Coburn whose name inadvertedl.v appeared with the list of Grand Army members Saturday wishes to say he is not a member of the organization. Harrisburg Firemen to Attend Phila.

Of the other thirty cases called over this morning five were continued. In the arranging of the cases, incidentally, It developed that there is a position on the list "below the bottom." One attorney had asked that his case be permitted to "go to the bottom of the list." A few min utes later. Attorney W. J. Carter made a similar request. "That's occupied," suggested Presi dent Judge Kunkel. "Then, If Your Honor please," asked Mr. Carter, ,"can it be placed below that?"

"Antis" Are in Alliance With Liquor Interests Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, president of the Central Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association, sends the Tele graph copies of two letters which she has received from Charles T. Hallinan, president of the publicity department at New York. These letters were forwarded by the Massachusetts State Suffrage Associa tion and according to Mr. Hallinan prove conclusively that in that State at least the liquor people are In close alliance with the antisuffragists. He says: "You will notice that the 'D. F. Reardon' who figures as the treasurer of the Massachusetts Voters' Antl- Su(Trace League is the same D. F. Reardon whom the liquor dealers ex ploit as their confidential representa tive." The letters in question are printed on the stationery of the Massachusetts Voters' Anti-Suffrage League and one of thees letters signed by D. F. Rear don, treasurer, is an appeal for funds to assist in sending speakers to every city and town to advance the anti suffrage cause. Special mention Is made of a demonstration to be held at West Rocksbury and the letter states "the project has the endorsement of the Massachusetts Liquor League and a copy of its endorsement hy Edward H. Pinkham is enclosed. The second letter signed hy Edward H. Pinkham and written on the stationery of Uie Massachusetts Liquor League is a gen eral introduction of Dennis F. Rear don, "who has been a good friend of our cause in the legislation with voice and vote."

McClin tic, aged 58, local manager of the Lew- Istown and Reedsvlllo Water Company placed a .44 caliber revolver at the foot of his bed and pulled the trigger with a match wired to a stick. He was shot through the head and died instantly. His business affairs were in excellent shape. MIDNIGHT OIL IS NOT PROFITABLE Commissioner Dixon Gives Ideas Regarding Work in the Hours of Daylight Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commis sioner of Health, agrees with Benjamin Franklin that the man who gets a late start has to hustle all day long and In his weekly hygiene talks he sets forth that the instinct of nature being still strong In the barnyard It is worth while for man to study whether it is not to advantage to work during day light. The commissioner thinks that night hours no matter how handsome ly Illuminated do not compare with those of the morning. Dr. Dixon says: "Our barnyards have not yet had electric lights installed ho the* domes tic animals still go to bed at dark. "In these days when every village boasts It's electric light plant and the streets of even our smaller munici palities are ablaze with light, nigbt is for all practical purposes as light as day and the primitive instinct to seek shelter and repose with the falling darkness has been lost to civilized mankind. "The modern tendency seems to he to shorter! the hours of work and ex tend the hours of play into those that In the cosmic scheme of things were intended by Nature for rest. While there is little truth In the old saying that "an hour's rest before midnight is worth two thereafter," the danger is that extending pleasure and enter tainment to late jiours of the night breeds an irregularity of habit which is not conducive to good health. Late frolics after a day's work are apt to lead to unusual exhaustion for which the ordinary allotment of sleep will not compensate. "Fortunately the majority of us In this world have a considerable amount of work to do each day. If we keep late hours at night the tendency Is to expend our energy on pleasure instead of the real business of life. "Daylight is the best time for physi cal work or brain work. The early morning hours beat the midnight oil game for the student and scholar. The great majority of authors do their work In the morning. "Poor Richard says that "he who riseth late must trot all day." The midnight hours no matter how bril liantly illuminated are a poor ex change for those of the early morn ing." VETERANSGOING TO WASHINGTON [Continued From First Page.] for a week, will be featured by a pro cession of the survivors of the con quering army from the Capitol to the White House in commemoration of the grand review which marked the close of the Civil War. Many other Interesting events are on the program. Extraordinary preparations had been made for the event, which promised to rival presidential inaugurations in in terest and display. Plans had been perfected for entertaining 100,000 visitors. The national capital itself is in gala attire. All public buildings, including the White House and the Capitol, and business houses along Pennsylvania avenue where the grand review is to take place are draped in the national colors. Veterans and visitors alike con tinued to arrive to-day and each in coming train bore its full quota. Most of them were from the states easier of access to Washington. Commander in-Chief Palmer was among the ar rivals. Cam|> Emery Opened The day's ceremonies began with the formal opening by Commander Palmer of Camp Emery and the wel coming by the commander and Ms staff of Lieutenant-General Nelson A. Miles, retired, who is to be the grand marshal of the parade next Wednes day. This was the only formal ceremony held, the day being devoted largely to the informal reception of incoming delegations. The program of the afternoon called for a pa'riollc concert by the United States marine band at the Pension Building, which is to be used as a branch headquarters. Beginning to-night and continuing throughout the week, the forts around Washington will be Illuminated by the Veterans' Signal Corps Association. Twelve war vessels of the United States navy lay at anchor in the Po tomac river here to-day for the in spection of the veterans. Naval officers will give dally demonstrations for the instruction of visitors. Thirty thousand veterans are ex pected to participate In the grand re view Wednesday. President Wilson will review the procession from a grandstand in front of the White House where President Johnson stood in 1865 to review the conquering army of the North. Union Leaders to Attend The celebration will be marked by the bringing together of the surviving great Union leaders. Among them are the only two living corps commanders, General James H. Wilson, of Wilming ton, Del., and General Granville M. of Council Bluffs, lowa, and Division Commanders General Adel bert Ames, of Mlsslppl; General D. McM. GreKK, of Pennsylvania; General Lewis A. Grant, of Minnesota; General J. Warren Keifer and Brlpradier- General John T. Wilder, of Knoxville. Many Gray-Clad Veterans Tn addition to the Grand Army vet erans In their uniforms of blue Incom ing trains are bringing in large num bers of gray-clad Confederate veterans invited to the festivities. President Wilson by special executive order has granted a holiday to all government employes who served on either side to attend the reunion. The death rate of the veterans of the Civil War in 120 a day and the Ilnal call for the survivors, the aver ts Ke of whom Is 71 years of asre, is fast approaching. This encampment, there fore, will be the last formal gathering of the Grand Army of the Republic. Encampments of some sort will be held each year, the officers say, until the last man of the war passes away. Official records show that 2,272,408 men fought under the Stars and Stripes in the Civil War and that S4 9.94 4 lost their lives before I,ee surrendered. The 2.000,000 veterans of the armies of the North at the close of strife fifty years ago have dwindled to less than 400.000. » PERMISSION IS GRANTED Permission to satisfy a mortgage dated March 30. 1870, given by George Blousrh to the Hoernerstown Building and Savings Association, was granted to-day by the Dauphin County Court upon presumption of payment. All the officers of the association are dead and no record exists of the organ ization. The mortgage was for $1,408 on a property In Hummelstown. MANDAMUS GRANTED The mandamus proceeding against the Dauphin County Commissioners instituted by the Derry township su pervisors to compel the county to re pair the old Horseshoe turnpike from Hummelstown to the T/ebanon county line was granted to-day by default. The commissioners admit their lia bility and are prepartng to make the -repairs. SEPTEMBER 27, 1915. An important part of the washing when is soaking the clothes. In these 30 minutes you are saved at least a half-day's drudgery. The naptha and other cleansers dissolve the grease and loosen the dirt. Vour part is easy—a light rub or two, rinsing, bluing, hanging out. No drudgery about that kind of a wash-day. Use Fels-Naptha for all soap-and-water work. THOUSANDS ENJOY END OF CELEBRATION [Continued From First Page.] policemen simply grinned and turned their harks. "Course there's an ordinance for bidding that," smiled one cop as a gay Pierotte spilled a half hag of confetti over the curls of a pretty girl, "but ■what's a man going to do? If I stopped that, why, look here —and there—and over there" And he pointed to as many other different confetti throwers within fifty feet. They were all doing a big busi ness. The crowds, made colorful by the hundreds of maskers, milled through the streets, jostling, laughing, throw ing confetti. The streets, by the way, were given over to the people and traffic was kept to the side streets. Front, street, for blocks north and south of Market looked much like an automobile park. • The Periwinkle band of the' Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart stores marched ardund through the crowd and now and then started a refrain that was taken up hy the big mass of people. Other bands in costume, including the "Sour Note" band from across the river, paraded through the streets and added to the fun. Harrishurg was never in such high good humor. Tn the northwestern end of the Square a gypsy camp with remarkably pretty gypsy girls told fortunes, while a couple of clowns and a pony enter tained the hundreds who never moved from the spot. Many a cane was "ringed" on the Courthouse steps, many a."baby" was cracked with a baseball, and scores of marbles were tossed into cuspi'dors at the "fair." While a band furnished the music on the big stage in the center of the Square an attractive program of vaudeville entertained thousands. Most of the artists were from the Majestic. The program included Leach, LaQuln lan. trio, wire artists; Lyman and Chaulsea, dancers; Peter Pendergast, contortionist, of this city; Pearl Broth ers and Burns, comedy and song; Dalv and Thomas, acrobats: Claude and Marion Cleveland, musical comedy; Mile. Vera Sahinn, "Fantasie of the Dance;" Max Musical Circus; John Donovan, singer, and John Reynolds, dare-devil balancer. During the evening prizes for the best costumes were awarded hy a com mittee of judges consisting of Frank H. Hoy. Jr., and Wellington G. Jones. The prizes were articles of merchan dise, Jewelry, etc., and the winners included the following: Best costumed men—First. Harrj M. Brooks: second. John D. Corkle. Best costumed women—First, Miss Caroline Marzolf; second, Miss Powell. Most comic costume, women—First, Miss Mabel Marzolf; second. Miss Clara Plckert. Most comical costume, men—First, Merle Bitner; second. Paul J. Ross; third. Wilbur Myers. All in all. Harrishurg and Its thou sands of guests had the times of their lives Saturday night, and even the wee sma' hours of Sunday found quite a number of wayfarers in the streets, albeit they were homeward bound. Yo you wonder the Man in the Moon laughed? Crowds Keep Two "Armies" From Fighting Properly Neither of the two "armies" that maneuvered on the slopes of Reser voir Saturday afternoon could "fight" properly; the crowds of some 10,000 people wouldn't let them. Despite the fact that the spectators could have seen everything by keeping below the battle zones as it were, the crowds jammed up right behind the attacking, or defending forces in such a way as to prevent any retreats or flank movements or any other move ments that soldiers would naturally make on an occasion of this kind. The fact that one body of troops was engaged with two other commands precluded a decision by the referees, Lieutenant-Colonel Maurice E. Finney and Captain Kemper of the United States army. The Governor's Troop and Companies D and I of the Eighth regiment were engaged, the troop act ing as the advance guard of an army which was attacking Harrishurg and endeavoring to get possession of the Market street bridge "head." Everything went nicely as mapped out until the tnfantr.vinen sta-ted to charge up Cherry 11111 to take the "trenches"; then Its attacking party just had to keep going—the crowd fol lowed so close on the heels of the "army" that the latter couldn't have retreated or flanked If it wanted to. Announce Winners in Postponed Water Sports The postponed water carnival events of Friday afternoon were run off Sat urday afternoon resulting in the fol lowing winners: Tub race: Won by L. G. Spahr, 2218 Logan street; second, John Ew ing, 427 Maclay street; third, Edward Emanuel, 506 Cowden street. Umbrella race: Won by William Emanuel, 506 Cowden street; second, John Ewlng; third, L. G.

GREAT CALAMITY NOT NEEDED HERE Unlike Other Cities, Harris burg Did Not Wait For Dis aster; No State Aid, Either Farley Gannett, the city's leading consulting engineer, enthusiastic over the great success of the municipal celebration, said to-day: "In all the discussion concerning Harrisburg's awakening and the suc cess of her public improvement cam paign I have not seen or heard ex pressed what I consider two of the strongest points for Harrisburgers to be.proud of and for others to remem ber and Tespect our city for. "It wasn't until the awful fire that Chicago emerged a city of great prom ise, and on the high road toward su premacy among American cities. "Galveston marks its national rec ognition as a seaport and important center of population from the tidal wave of 1904. San Francisco dates its real develop ment from the big earthquake of a few years ago. "Baltimore has emerged from ob- ♦ scurlty since the fire of 1904. Dl»l Not Wait For Disaster "Harrishurg did not wait for a catas- 4 trophe to start the purse of energy. The leaven came from within. The city pulled itself out of the mud by its own boot straps. The citizens saw the need, overcame the inertia of gener ations and here laid the foundations for a great city without the aid of some calamity to awaken them to the necessities, "The other point I want to call at tention to is this: Few people realize how often and widespread comes the cry of State aid!" "State aid" for hospitals, for charities, for roads,, for bridges, for sewerage treatment, for water purification, for stream channel improvement, for nearly everything, in fact. All over the State cities send up this cry for financial help when confronted with large projects involv ing heavy expenditure. Never Asked For Aid "Not once was this cry raised in Harrishurg, not once did we ask a cent of the Legislature and not one cent has gone into our public improve ments that hasn't come or will not have to come from the taxpayers of the city. "We went to the Legislature for laws under which to build the dam; to the State departments for permits to improve' our sewer systems, build the dam and river steps; but not once did we go to it for money or help of any kind. "And this is why we appreciate our improvements so heartily. This is why we are so proud to-day of them and .of the men and women respon sible for them. And this is why we will take care of these great works, and add to them from time to time as our wisdom sees their necessity, our growth requires them and our fin ancial tsrength makes them possible."
