Would Keep "the Lower
Lights Burning" Till Nov. 1
Suffcient funds to keep the lower
lights on the river front wall burn
ing throughout the same period as
the lamps in the park along the top
of the bank will be asked for in the
1916 budget by City Commissioner M.
Harvey Taylor, superintendent ot the
parks and public property. The latter
are turned on about the middle of
May and burn until November 1.
The lower lights have been turned
off for this year because no more
money for maintenance is available
The park lights of course will burn
until November 1 as enough money
remains for the current for these
lumps is at hand. When the lower
liKhtß were switched on. it was ex
pected to have them a-glow for the
week of the celebration and as much
longer as the funds would permit al
though it was doubted if current could
be provided for more than ten davs
at most. City Commissioner Taylor,
however. by careful economy
managed to keep the lights In
service for a month. The standards
will be removed In the near future and
stored away for the winter.
The same type of vandal that Nad
chipped and nicked the concrete sur
face of the steps and river front walk
by rolling or throwing rocks over the
embankment, has evidently been pretty
busy with the globes of the lamps. Of
the fifty-four along the wall at least
[a score have been battered by stones.

That's what the Men's Bible Class of

Fifteenth and Derry streets, went after
yesterday.
Somebody got one!
Thirty-seven husky "young fellows"
ranging from 20 to 60 or thereabouts,
went by auto truck to a spot in Clark's
Valley entirely surrounded by chest
nut trees. If the chestnut trees had
been water, the place would have
been a regular island; but—there
were no chestnuts.
Nevertheless, the men had "some"
time, eating, gunning, climbing the
mountains and acting like so many
"cue-upg" all the day long. The party
was hauled to the mountains by John
E. Dare, chairman of the social com

party were: ,

AUTOMOBILE NOTES
li. W. Shank, the Maxwell distrl-1
butor, was looking for a traffic officer>
or a road sign one day last week to
guide him toward the road he was
looking for. but neither was to be
found when wanted. But when one
considers that it w-as In the center of
a. dense forest away up in Sullivan
county it is not surprising. Like the
"Babes in The 'Woods," Mr. Shank
wandered around in circles until dead
tired seeking the road toward home,
but being a husky sort of a big chap
he didn't lie down to be covered by j
by the leaves v>ut kept a plodding alonjr
with his gun without further interest
in the game, until, lo and behold, |
just head he sees daylight again i
emerging through the trees. When i
he arrived at the edge of the forest he I
found himself on the opposite side j
from where he wanted to be, but took I
no chances on a short cut through the j
woods this time. The longest way!
around was the safest, but It was n j
long way to a Maxwell. Safety first 'n i
the woods means that a compass Is j
more useful than an automobile.
P. H. Keboch, distributor for Jack-'
sons has made arrangements for a
salesroom at 108 Market street, in con
i junction with the Tire Shop and Stew
art service station,
Andrew Redmond delivered two
Pullman cars this week and has re
ceived word from the factory at Tork
] that a model de luxe coupe Is now
rendy for the market.
Samuel Glasgow the Inventor of the
Glasgow safety fender was in Harris
burg yesterday giving demonstrations.
This device is fastened to the front of
a car in place of the usual bumper j
rod, and within the steel shell Is a j
curtain that unfolds at the touch of a
button and extends to within two j
inches of the ground and is capable of >
picking up man or child and hold j
them until the car can be stopped.
