Submarine of the Allies Sends German Protected Cruiser Frauentob to Bottom HARRISBURG SSSSgi TELEGRAPH LXXXIV — No. 277 EQUIPMENT : AT CENTRAL IRON .AND STEEL WORKS Greatly Increased Output Will Be Bcsult of Receivers' Action NEW 100-TON FURNACE Remodel and Enlarge Present Battery of Open Hearths; Install Big Crane The addition of one new 100-ton open-hearth furnace, the remodeling and enlarging of the present battery of four open hearths and the erection of a new 150-ton capacity ladle crane, is planned by the receivers of the Cen tral Iron and Steel Company, at the plant in South Harrisburg. This new equipment will greatly in crease the company's output of steel by the end of next year when the im provements are expected to have been completed. Remodeling of the four' open hearths will be started first. Each fur nace, when it is taken off for general repairs, will be rebuilt so that each will be 41 feet 6 inches by 15 feet and 5 feet 6 inches from the sill line to the plates of the pan. This will increase each furnace from its present capacity of 60 tons to about 100 tons. Crane Vlrcady Ordered The new 150-ton capacity ladle crane has already been ordered and is expected to be delivered about the middle of next month when it will im mediately be put in place. The old 100-ton and 65-ton capacity ladles and equipment will be retained and hearths of 120 to 130 ions will be tapped into the two ladles with a divided spout. . Tn addition to enlarging the present battery of four furnaces, it is pur posed to build a fifth furnace of 100 tons capacity at the south end of the plant and to extend the pit side of the present building. The reconstruction of the present furnaces will proceed as rapidly as possible and work on the new furnace will be started just as soon as an ap propriation is made. Central Running Full Time At the present time the Central Plant is running full time with a la»gc number of orders on hand. V About 200 more men are employed tills year than at the same time iast >ear and the prospects for continued operation are good, according to plant officials. one of the things that is helping ' antral book large orders at the pres ent timo is the excellence of Its steel plates, obtained by superior methods in pouring the molten metal. The exacting requirements that are now made upon steel plates, particu larly in the boiler and firebox grades turned out by the Central plant, have, necessitated improved methods of manufacture. At the Central plant an improved method of "pouring" has been devised and patented. This new method is de scribed In full in the current Issue of the Iron Age, a trade journal, by Rob ert H. Irons, general superintendent at the Central plant. Chambersburg Boy Declines W. and J. Football Honor By Associated Press Washington, Pa., Nov. 26.—Maurice M.

Granite Setting For Work of Art | Where will Harrisburg place the | fountain of the "Dance of Eternal Spring?" That the splendid bronze statue of three dancing ladies symbolizing Sculptor Guiseppe Donato's conception lof perpetual Springtime will be form lally accepted by the city at Tuesday's I meeting of Council is certain. | Milton S. Hershey, the "chocolate Iking," offered the statue to the city | Wednesday evening following the de cision by a Dauphin County Common Pleas jury that he was indebted to I Donato for the price of the fountain, i City Commissioner Harry F. Bow j man has a place in mind he says but | he will not divulge the location until i he presents a resolution to that effect I Tuesday. The water department is, ]the only branch of the municipal gov ernment which lias the $3,000 or ;54,000 that, will have to be provided to jset up the fountain and inasmuch as all the other fountains in the city are under Mr. Bowman's jurisdiction, it lis generally believed that Council will turn Mr. llershey's gift over to his care. Reservoir Slopes Suggested j Several points have been suggested | but the slopes of Oak Knob. Reservoir : Park, appears to have right of way of lopinion thus far. Half a dozen or more petitions to Council are now be ing circulated, it is understood, re questing that this point be selected. Other places mentioned are Harris Park and the new plaza of the punip- I ing station. The fact that a handsome fountain will be donated to the city this Spring | [for the plaza precludes the placing of the Donato statuary at that point. [Miss Fannie Eby has informed Mr. I Bowman of Iter intention to present a |fountain to the city for the plaza. She is now collecting data incident to the carving of the proposed plaza fountain i now. The eity will have to provide the necessary concrete and granite setting for the "Dance of Eternal Spring." This will include a concrete base to support two great granite bowls or basins, one of a seven foot diameter.the other Tour feet across. Below the lower basin will be a pool of appropri ate size and this will be surmounted by a low balustrade. Six heads of ' "Pan" and on the balustrade three | smaller heads to support the big basin i will be included in llershey's gift. Do inato himself will likely supervise the 'setting up of the statue, j The jury Wednesday evening re it urned a verdict in Donato's favor of I $23,931.25 less the $2,066.87 which | Hershey had paid on account. Inter est dating from September 11, 1912, 'was included in Donato's favor. He |settled for $20,000 whereupon Her |shey turned over the fountain to Mayor Royal. An Ideal Setting In modeling the "Dance of Eternal Spring" Guiseppe Donato kept always in mind a natural setting of trees and greenery as a back ground and in or ,der to get the proper effect, he stud ied the conditions of the Hershey es- Itate for several months. The beauty !of the natural surroundings of the | slopes of Oak Knob, Reservoir, is con sidered an ideal setting. Thousands |of people passing out Market street rand into Reservoir via Trolley or the !Twenty-first street entrance would get | a view of the fountain from a distance if it were placed on the Reservoir I slopes.
