KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT THE attention of our readers is directed to the large advertise ment printed elsewhere in this issue, which explains in detail a most important educational campaign to be undertaken by The Telegraph. This campaign consists of the dis tribution among our readers, at cost price, of the two great patriotic hooks. "The American Government." and "The Panama Canal." hoth by Frederic J. Haskin. There has never been a time in tho history of this country when informa tion about the size and conduct of the government was so much needed by its people. There are many stu dents *>f world politics who contend that the great war now being waged ir. Europe is but the forerunner of a similar clash between this country, founded on the idea of individual liberty and free institutions, and a powerful militaristic autocracy which ■will challenge us and seek to curtail the further extension of our national growth and influence in world affairs. While every good citizen hopes that the time may never come when the sons of this peaceable nation may have to take up arms in its defense, it is. nevertheless, incumbent upon every citizen, young and old alike, to be posted about what his government is doing. That is why the Telegraph is under taking tlie distribution of these hook<?. •which explain in simple, accurate 6tyle the working side of the entire federal government, as well as that of its greatest single enterprise, the Panama Canal. There is no thought of profit for the Telegraph in this distribution. It. is simply an opportunity for this newspaper to serve its function as a disseminator of beneficial information, put out in such a form that it can be used for handy and permanent reference. This is why the conditions on which our readers may obtain these valuable books are made so easy. No matter what your work or inter ests may be, no matter what kind of an American you are, you will highly prize these excellent books for the mass of remarkable facts they con tain, and for the stimulating effect they will have upon your patriotism. This end being accomplished, the Telegraph will feel amply repaid for having placed them in your hands. Mr. McAdoo hasn't given any opinion regarding the proposed billion-dollar loan for the allies, but it is a fair argu ment from all the antecedent evidence that he thinks It would be better to let the Southern cotton-planters have the money without interest. WHEN WAR ENDS WHETHER the United States can hope to hold its place as the leading export nation of the •world Is a problem now receiving the attention of the businessmen of America. It was the European war that gave the United States its present pre-eminence. What will happen w"hen the war shall close is the great ques tion which very properly causes anx iety among men who are financially interested in the continuance of that partially restored prosperity now pre vailing in some sections of the country. Men who are accustomed to deal ing with conditions rather than the ories and who build on reasonable certainties rather than on possibilities do not overlook the fact that in July, 1914, Just before the outbreak of the European war, there was a very alarm ing balance of trade against the United States. They will not forget that the balance of trade turned against us toon after the "tarlff-for-revenue-only" policy was decided upon by the elec tion of a Democratic administration and that it was only the conditions developed by the European war which turned the tide in our favor. Will the balance of trade turn against us again when the cause which turned it in our favor has been re moved? Most businessmen are an swering this question in the affirm ative, believing that since it was "war MONDAY EVENING, orders" that formed the basis of a favorable trade balance, that balance can continue only so long as the war shall remain a factor in international commerce. There are several facts which no one disputes: First, the call of millions of men In Europe from industrial activity to military operations decreased produc tion on that continent. Second, the war not only decreased production abroad, but destroyed many products already manufactured, and created new and enormous mar kets. Third, the only large producing na tion ready to supply the commodities most in demand by reason of the war vas the United States; hence this country received a greater part of the war orders. Fourth, as soon as the armies of Europe are disbanded, those millions of men will return to manufacturing and other productive enterprise. Fifth, European nations will be im poverished. and the United States, as a result of its large favorable trade balance, will be the only country in a position to buy extensively. Sixth, as a consequence of high | prices paid by buyers of war equip- I ment, wages In many American indus tries have been increased, and when European producers again begin activ ity tho American producer will be thrown into competition with factories paying the lowest scale of wages, while American mills pay the highest. The foregoing facts present a sit uation which the businessmen of America must meet, and they are now giving it most careful thought. It ls p. situation -which will confront not merely large manufacturers of the country, but every farmer, merchant, mechanic and laborer who depends for a livelihood upon the general pros perity of the nation. The Houston Post, referring to the Columbia State's desire to have Mr. Taft elected an honorary member of the Democratic party, defines an honorary Democrat as one who Is permitted to vote the ticket but not to hold office. We think this definition a little lacking In truth. An honorary Democrat is a colored voter In a Southern State who ls permitted to put a Republican ticket Into the ballotbox and have it counted for the Democratic candidates. MR. GILBERT'S REPORT THE report of Henderson Gilbert, president of the Harrlsburg Chamber of Commerce, at the annual meeting of that body this evening, will contain at least four recommendations well worth con sidering. They are: Welcome to the New Year by the Harrlsburg Mummers' Association, tij Include a cabaret program simi lar to that (f last Saturday night, and the New Year's Dav parade. Annual parade of the pupils of the Harrlsburg public schools, the first to be a boost for a new High School building. 1 B Display of fireworks along the River Front on the night of July 4 Annual regatta on the river on Labor Day. The Chamber of Commerce cannot be expected to carry on the work of conducting these celebrations. They do not properly within the scope of that organization. Rather, as the president will suggest, they should be made the business of associations formed especially for those purposes. The Mummers' Association has proved that it is well 'able to carry out such a New Year's program as Mr. Gilbert outlines and no doubt with the en dorsement of the Chamber will be able to give Harrisburg an annual event in this line thit will not only afford en tertainment for our own people hut will be for Central Pennsylvania what the Shooters' Parade ls for Philadel phia and its surroundings. The organization of a regatta as sociation should not be delayed a moment longer than necessary. Those who have river sports at heart ought to get together immediately with this thought in view while the enthusiasm engendered by the recent river car nival is at its height. The report of Mr. Gilbert should provide the foun dation for those interested. The Telegraph will be happy to support such movements as he has suggested.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT THE State is about to engage in the Interesting experiment of acting as agent to find employ more than *7,000 worth of vegetables together the manless Job and the job less man. Apparently, Commissioner John Price Jackson is going about the installation of this new branch of gov ernment in his usual systematic and practical manner. Nobody can tell to what degree of usefulness or uselessness the new bu reau of employment will attain. Some of tho possibilities of the bureau are shown, however, In the report Just Is sued, relative to the activities of the New York police department, last.wln ter, In dealing with the unemployment problem which then confronted that city. Out of 2,811 persons whom the police assisted in getting employment, 89 per cent, secured permanent posi tions. Ninety per cent of the down and-outs were married, and more than one-half of this number had from two to five children. Over 80 per cent, of the distress reported was due to un employment, and only one case in sev enteen was found to be that of a pro fessional beggar or heavy drinker. In cases where private agencies refused to grant assistance because of previous bad record, but where the family nevertheless seemed to be in actual want, the police department gave the necessary relief and usually found work for the unemployed member of the family. But the new bureau can do more than merely provide work for the idle. It is possible by a careful compilation of the statistics that will be gathered by it to suggest remedies for some ex isting evils and eventually to work out solutions to some of the problems of labor and employment that have been responsible for much needless suf fering. | TELEGRAPH'S PERISCOPE" —Brokers are breaking under the strain of war stock speculations.

ELECTRIC FIRST AID Many Municipalities Kmploy Modern Type Vehicles For Ambulance Work [From the Electric News.] Electric ambulances are now being used in many of the largest cities. They possess many inherent adantages over a horse-drawn ambulance or a gaso line ambulance. The electric ambu llance is sanitary and odorless, prac tically noiseless, gives minimum vi bration and is more readily controlled than any other type. The electric is I a good investment because It is wonder fully efficient, has a low upkeep cost and can be depended upon when on the road. Owing to Its few wearing parts it is seldom in the repair shop. The electric ambulance is easier handled in heavy traffic. It is held down to a sane speed, which speed is absolutely limited by gear ratios, yet it is so flexible and Is under such perfect control that it can maintain a higher rate of speed through crowded streets than tlie gasoline ambulance. It picks up speed quickly without jerking, due to the gentle, even acceleration of its revolving motor and component driv ing parts. The ambulance speeded up to thirty or forty miles an hour is a menace to both public and patient. Speed magnifies trifling bumps and inequalities of surface such as are found on our smoothest streets. Hence the speed of the elctrlc. once consider ed a handicap, is a decided adantage. especially when combined with perfect control. SCIENTIFIC HARVESTING {From the Christian Herald.] Harvesting wheat is a strenuous life. For days before the harvesting season begins, men and teams are kept busy erecting temporary cook-houses and sleeping quarters. These are located in the midst of the vast wheat fields. Wells are dug. sheds built and stalls run for the horses. Bedding and kitchen utensils are taken to the camps last of all. Everything necessary for the men and teams is on the field when the har vest starts. At no place in the. big fields will men be out of hearing of the din ner horn, which sounds mighty good, after six hours of sweltering toll. The men rise at 3 o'clock in the morning and work in shifts until 9 in the evening, with short intervals for food and rest. This is the way a great wheat crop is garnered, the whole sys tem being as efficient as that which regulates a gang of skilled mechanics on a modern skyscraper contract. A season in the wheat fields will convince anyone that bread does not come with out perspiration. and that modern farming as conducted to-day l s on a scientipc and commercial scale of which the farmers of the last generation could never have dreamed. AIR-MUSCLE [From the Christian Herald.] A Chicago sculptor has installed in his studio a pneumatic chisel by means of which the work of outlining marble statues is greatly simplified. The old method of carving with mallet and chisel Is not only laborious, but rather awkward for the sculptor, since only one hand is left free to guide the chisel. In the case of the pneumatic chisel, both hands may be used for this purpose. The pneumatic chisel is driven by compressed air at a pressure of sev enty-seven pounds per square inch .op erating through a flexible tube, the air being compressed in a large tank by means of an electric motor. The air passing through the tube has the effect of driving the chisel back and forth against the stone af if it \yere hit by a mallet. The chisel, of course, is used only to outline the statue roughly, the finishing work all being done by hand. The pneumatic chisel can do the rougher work, but when it comes to carving the features so thev will speak and putting the breath of Immortality Into the stone, the artist must take the mallet In his own hand, that his soui may get closer to his work. BEING A GOOD COOK Moat Any Maid Can Prepare Things by Aid of Electricity Nowadays [From the Electric News.] With the aid of electricity the merest novice may become a good cook In half an hour. Well, not exactly a < good cook, but good enough to pre pare a suitable meal without endanger ing the lives and health of the family With the electric range It is possible to secure any temperature desired, for any length of time. Scientists have been looking into this cooking propo sition, they have been experimenting, until they know Just how much heat to use, and for how long, to prepare a roast of beef, to bake a tin of biscuit or a loaf of bread. The results of the cooking experi ments In electric ovens Indicate that It ls possible to reduce the art of cooking with electricity to an exact science. If definite rules of time and temperature were formulated for cooking each article of food. the inexperienced housewife could obtain uniformly good results with the expenditure of a minimum amount of attention and fuel. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH 'PextwoijCoanXa By the Ex-Oommltteeman Montgomery county commissioners have put It up to the State Depart ment to decide whether Judge John Faber Miller alone shall have his name printed on the ballot for the general election in November or shall be op posed by William F. Dannehower, who ran second to him in the Judicial pri maries last week. As the commission ers view it. Judge Miller has won a sole nomination. Their certificate to the State Department shows a total vote on the judgeship of 19,157, of which Judge Miller received 9,906, or more than one-half. But the return of the commissioners will be protested a* the State Department. Dannehower and his counsel, Charles D. McAvoy, contend that a candidate on a non partisan ballot, to be entitled to run without opposition at the general elec tion. must have more thar. one-half of not only the votes counted by the election officers, but more than one half of tl>e total number of voters who received ballots at the primaries, j When Associate Judge Joseph H.

CHINS By Frederic J. Haskin V ' • PROBABLY the most widely known and accepted tenet oi the physiognomists is that the chin is a reliable index to power of will. The indomitable hero of the popular novel is invariably endowed with a prominent chin. In the mod ern school of magazine illustration the chin is the most important ornament of facial architecture. Everybody knows that a man with a big. strong chin is a man to look out for. Now along come several anthropolo gists, of the greatest weight and repu tation, who have spent their lives ana lyzing the human physiognomy and tracing Its evolution, to say that this popular belief in. the importance of chins is all bosh. For example, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the National Mu seum, who is Uncle Sam's chief an thropologist, says the chin is useful as a lever for masticating food and talking; but that it proves absolutely nothing about your ability or disposi tion." Dr. Hrdlicka is willing to acknowl edge the significance of other features of the human head. The upper skull, for example, as it indicates the size and shape of the brain, is really worth studying: but the chin has no anatomi cal connections which give it any im portance as an index to character. Sir Ray Lankester, a London an thropologist, joins the American au thority In this assault upon the chin as an indication of will power, and Henry Boileau, of France, adds his voice to the now international discus sion. expressing the same opinion, and explaining the evolution of the chin in a way that leaves it quite an insig nificant feature. Had No Chin At All This evolution of the chin is, in fact, the pemmican of the whole argument. Prehistoric, man, according to all the remains that have ever been found of him, had no chin at all. He had pow erful jaws, and enough teeth for two modern men, but the chin proper was lacking. Tracing the descent of man, accord ing to the Darwinian theory, we find him gradually acquiring chin as he evolved toward a higher type, until finally the chin finds its ideal develop ment In the modern civilized man. The widespread belief that the chin is an indication of desirable qualities is un doubtedly founded upon this scienti- f The State From Day to Day Plans for the reception of the gubernatorial automobile party In the cities of the State which It will visit have been made and the big delega tion which left Market Square this morning may expect the glad hand wherever it makes its temporary home. The finny tribe entertained Captain Clyde, of Chester, for the first time Saturday, when he donned a diving suit and made the descent into the Deluware River. His only regret was that he missed seeing the mermaids, who didn't care for his costume, ap parently. There are 1600 dogs In Allentown. acording to the latest count. Who will dare to estimate the number of fleas extant? We have it on good authority that the October payrolls of the big cor porations in the Pittsburgh district aggregate $32,000,000, as a result of the industrial hoom eaused by the| war. A Wilmington Judge decrees that one blow does not constitute wife beating. This is a dangerous decision, methinks. for great damage can be done by a single well-placed blow. The duck-shooting season 'ls on in Pennsylvania, and will continue until January 16. Sorrow now inters the duckish tribes. Selling water for furniture polish at one dollar a bottle is the latest fraud perpetrated upon the poor, un sui|>ecting housewives of Allentown. A mentally deranged woman In Nantlcoke clothed herself with an old wedding gown, with paper dolls ap pended thereto, and then proceeded to advertise herself as the "Holy Ghost." to the great astonishment of those with whom she came In con tact. An automobile accident occurred In Reading the other day, with tragic results, of the very same nature as the one which took place on the Mul berry street bridge some years ago. It struck the edge of the curb, dashed through the railing of a bridge, and plunged to the earth, killing nearly OCTOBER 4. 1915 fic fact that it has grown with the ad vance of civilization. But the modern anthropologist pro ceeds to offer several explanations of this chin development which roh it of all real significance. The most inter esting of these, put forward by Henri Boileau of France, is that the human chin is secondary sexual characteristic evolved for its esthetic value in the mating process. Translated from Dar winian into plain English, this means that woman, even when she lived in a cave and wore a fig-leaf had as strong a liking for the broad and beautiful chin as she has to-day. True, there were not many chins to choose from back in paleolithic times, but. never theless. she always chose the cave man that Jiad the nearest thing to a chin. Thus were brought Into the world many little cave dwell«rs with rudi mentary chins, and the social advan tage which this conferred insured the propagation of the most, chinful type. Civilized Man Nerds It Another purely physiological ex planation of the civilized chin, offe/ed by the anthropologists, is that a great er chin was needed by civilized man because of the great amount of talking that he has to do. The genio-glossal muscles, which are the motive power of speech, are largely located between the lower Jaws, and the chin had to front to make room for them, as man had more and more to say. It may be objected, in a not altogether face tious way, that this theory would fail to explain the fact that the male chin is generally better developed than the female. Finally, if you do not like either of these theories, there is yet another one that as man came to stand erect and throw out his chest, his chin went up !ond forward and grew into a more ; prominent position as a natural con sequence. On the whole, the scientific investi gators seem to have knocked the phy siognomists into a cocked hat. The owners of large and impressive chins need no longer feel that they are therefore persons of unusual will and energy, unless they have demonstrated the fact. More*lmportant yet, the in dividual whose chin intrudes but slightly over the edge of his collar, need no longer lack confidence in his powers, either mental or moral. i all of the inmates of the car.

From her earliest youth she has believed In equal political rights for women and has worked for "the cause" from the beginning of her public life. She is a has twice been president of the Suf frage association of that State. She has had the privilege of addressing committees of the United States Con gress and of many State legislatures on suffrage. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw says of her: "I consider Miss Belio Kearney one of the most eloquent forceful, logical and convincing speak ers on the American platform. Her lectures cannot fail to he helpful to the cause." As a chautauqua lecturer Miss Kearney has earned praise In every State in the Union and In every i civilized country of the world. In gathering material for her lectures she has traveled around the world several times. She has made a special study of conditions In suffrage and nonsuffrage States and countries. This study convinced her that suf frage was desirable not only as a mnr ter of justice to women but because of the real benefits women voters ™f re - able t0 confer on their States.

"Don't get the impression that all huckers are dishonest for there are many honest dealers and the inten tion of these tips is to guard against the dishonest type." » « ♦ There's an enterprising lad living in the vicinity of Crescent and Berry hill street who knows opportunity ' when he sees it and knows how to make opportunity spell cash. Since the opening of the new plant of the Merchants' Ice Company, in Berryhill, near Crescent, this youth ' who is scarcely ten years old, has operated a sort of ice route of his own—and incidentally punctured the visions of free Ice which residents in this vicinity have had. This embryo businessman has con tracted with the ice company for the broken parts of the large ice cakes that fall to the ground when the ic© wagons are loading. Then, when he has a small wagon load of good-sized fragments, he calls upon the neigh bors. By cutting his prices the lad has put a "crimp" in the ice business of the bigger firms—in this limited area at least. « • • • If anyone would have predicted ten or fifteen years ago that men, women and children would go bathing at the base of the river bank in this city there would have been comments upon his idea of propriety or desirability of water.
